Disclaimer: If I owned Naruto I wouldn't have to worry about how much senior year cost... I don't own Naruto.


The next day Temari didn't talk to him she just sat and read her book, they had kissed again and she wanted nothing more than to keep kissing him, but she pulled away and slapped him, leaving him shocked she had hit him before but never like that. She turn around, not wanting to look at him, "Fine I'll stay but never kiss me again" and gone to her room.

"I'm going to the store to buy something's," she said, around 1:00, as she left. Shikamaru didn't bother getting up. He was mad at himself for kissing her yesterday mostly disappointed that she walked away.

Temari went to the store and grab, some food, drinks, fruits, detergent and a shogi board. On her way to the line she bumped into a woman,

"I'm so sorry I didn't see you" she said helping the woman pick up some of things she had dropped.

"It's ok I didn't see to you either, got a lot of things there"

"Yea the lazy ass I live with doesn't get anything needed for a household"

"Tell me about it I have a lazy husband at home and I have to do everything" she complained.

"Men" they said at the same time, they both laughed

"I'm Yoshino" the woman said smiling.

"Temari" she said shaking her hand.

"Nice to meet you Temari,"

"You too" she said with a smile. They made their way to the line.

"So tell me about this lazy housemate of yours"

"His lazy, annoying, sexist, obnoxious, irritating and loves to piss me off"

"Remind me of my husband when we're younger, you just have to be firm with him," she said with a smile "behind every great man is a great woman"

"Oh we're not together or anything I'm just staying with him till I go back to Suna, but that's every true," she laughed.

"Oh, you're from out of town, I hope you're having a good stay, well other than your housemate thing" Yoshino paid and said "it was great meeting you and don't worry it gets better"

"Thank you hopefully I'll see you around, it was nice meeting you too" Temari said as the woman got her bags and left.

She got back to the apartment and put the things away, Shikamaru was still watching TV lying down just as she had left him before she left. She cooked and ate leaving a plate for him on the table; after she was done she took the bag with the shogi board and some things she had bought to her room. Shikamaru ate and took a nap, later around 8 Temari came out again; she took a shower, ate and locked herself in her room again.

Shikamaru thought about how he screwed up by kissing her and how she wasn't even talking to him now. He spent the whole day thinking then he went to bed and set his alarm for 9 because he had to escort Temari to a meeting tomorrow.

The next two day's Temari spent most of her time at meetings, they went out to eat and watched TV together but they barely talked expect for some insults. Kiyomi forgave Shikamaru when she saw him even though he didn't say anything.

Four days after the Kiyomi incident and the kiss it was raining, they stayed indoors all day not talking she just read watched TV. She cooked, ate and went to bed; she found that she had left her window open to dry her clothes, causing the bed and all her clothes to be soaked by the cold rain. Great looks like ill be sleeping on the couch today, she complained. She went to Shikamaru's room and put on one of his shirts.

Shikamaru was taking a shower, when he finished he put on his boxers and he found Temari asleep on the couch. Went over to her she looks so angelic sleeping, he picked he up bridal style being careful not to wake her up. He looked at her and saw she was just wearing his shirt and underwear no shorts, he felt himself bring up a tent below his waist, great. He went to her room with her and found everything wet, troublesome woman, he thought he then took her to his room and put her on the bed making her waking her up.

"What are you doing?" she asked in a sleepy voice finding herself on a king size bed, of course someone who naps for most of his day would have a king size bed.

"You feel asleep on the couch and your room was wet so I brought you to my room. Don't worry I'll sleep on the couch"

"No its fine I'll sleep on the couch it's your room" she said sitting up.

"I'm not having a girl sleep on the couch its fine," he said grabbing a pillow.

"I can't sleep here"

"Sure you can, close your eyes and go to bed"

"I can't the beds to big I can't sleep like this"

"Are you kidding me, what a drag"

"I'm not used to big beds, I won't stop moving, can you stay here till I'm asleep then you can go to the couch" she said hesitating.

"Fine troublesome woman" he said getting into the bed next to her. Her heart was racing knowing she was in the same bed as him. He tried controlling his indecent thoughts but his tent wasn't going down it was just going to stay longer, he wanted to kiss her but he knew that wouldn't be a good idea.

Next Morning

How she fell asleep she had no idea, she thought waking up in his bed next to him with his hand under her waist, her arms around him, and her head on his chest. She just lied there in his arms as if she was dreaming; she smiled, falling back asleep.

Shikamaru woke up realizing that he had fallen asleep, Temari's head was on his chest and his arm was under her. He didn't want to move and wake her up but he thought she would kill him if she found him still there. He stayed there for a while, stroking her untied hair with the back of his fingers, it was a bit longer then he would have guessed, she moved and made a sound readjusting her head on his chest. He quickly stopped stroking her hair.

Shikamaru started to try to get out of the bed without waking her; he slowly tried get up taking his hand from under her.

She yawned opening her eyes, she looked at him shocked when she saw how she cuddling with him.

"Oh my god what the hell" she said as she shot up, like how someone moves there hand when they touch a hot pot, "what are you doing"

"Me, I was trying to get out, you're the one who was on me" he said sitting up realizing something, not wanting to move from under the cover.

"Oh… well lazy ass, you could go now" she said.

"It's my room, you leave troublesome woman"

"Fine then crybaby, I'm going to the bathroom" she said pulling the covers off both of them.

Shit, he let out a giggle and crawled over him giving him a good view of her ass and legs, on purpose to mess with him. He got harder, troublesome woman why couldn't you sleep in shorts though it wouldn't really have made a difference. She turned as she left looking and smiling evilly. He knew what she had seen, but he decided to forget and act like it didn't happen.

After she left he put on a shirt and made breakfast, having no idea why he was making breakfast for her. After her shower Temari tried to sneak out of the bathroom back to Shikamaru's room, Shikamaru turned and saw her wrapped in nothing but a towel.

She looked at him, "Umm… my clothes are still damp so I was going to get something from your room"

He just stared at her and nodded, watching as she went to his room. She came out with a pair of his boxers and a shirt; he founded it hot trying to not lose control of himself.

"I made breakfast troublesome woman" he said putting her plate next to him.

"Umm… thanks" she said surprised he would do that; she sat down next to him.

They ate quietly for a while, "It's a drag but after my shower I'll take your clothes to the cleaners so you can stop wearing mine" he said breaking the silence.

"Thanks lazy ass" she said eating her food, wondering why he was being so nice, I don't have to fall for him or anything, I could just have some fun, I'll be careful to make sure nothing big happens.

He got up and went to take a shower after he took her clothes to the cleaners. Temari staying reading one of the books she bought.

He left her clothes at the cleaners and went to watch clouds thinking about Temari, the kisses and the fact they fell asleep on the same bed and woke up cuddling, after a an hour and a half the clothes were supposedly done. On his way back he ran into Choji.

"Hey Shikamaru, haven't seen you around lately"

"Yea sorry been busy guarding Temari and stuff…" he said, "can I tell you something private, this stays between you and me no one else"

"Ok sure, spill"

"Aw man, this is such a drag but I think I might… be attracted to Temari," he said in a low voice, Choji just looked at him.
