Disclaimer: Did Masashi Kishimoto just get excepted to the program of his dreams... (actually I don't know but I did!) point is I don't own Naruto.

"I didn't know you knew Temari mom," he said look at his mother who had devious smile.

"Yes we met at the store and got to talking" she said with a smile looking a Temari who looked a little embarrassed.

"I hope you didn't get the wrong idea about me and Shikamaru, he only guarding me and he's a gentleman," Temari said apologetically.

Yoshino let out a little chuckle, "its ok I know my son he's just like his father so I can see were your coming from, no worries,"

"Son is this girl you took to the festival," Shikaku looked at his son who cheek was turning pink.

"Yes but only because I had too" Shikamaru explain looking at his parent who were both looking at Temari.

"Shikamaru I can't believe you didn't tell us such a sweet girl was stay with you and that she managed to get you to go to the festival," sweet did she call Temari sweet how much did they talk, he thought scratching the back of his neck, "Well still it wonderful to see you again Temari, tell me how is your stay going,"

"Ohh it's has been wonderful thank you, I actually leave the day after tomorrow,"

"Ohh well then you two must come over for dinner tomorrow right Shikaku," Shikamaru's mother exclaimed delighted

"Sure," her husband said lazily, she elbowed his side, "Yes of course you must"

My dad's so whipped, Shikamaru thought. He sighed, "Mom I'm sure Temari has plans with her friend tomorrow or something,"

"Actually I'm planning to have brunch with the girls so I would love to come over for dinner," Temari smiled looking at Shikamaru and then at his mother.

"Great, we'll see you two at the house tomorrow around 6"

"Sound great I'm looking forward to it, Mrs. Nara" Temari said politely with a smile.

"Oh none of that call me Yoshino," Yoshino really god ma, great now I have to have dinner with them and Temari I have a feeling this is going t be troublesome.

"Ok Yoshino, thank you so much for the invitation," Temari said with a smile.

"Well we have to get going but looking forward to have you and my son over for dinner," Yoshino grabbed Shikaku's arm and began walking away, with a huge smile.

"What just happened I mean my mom was being so well nice," Shikamaru looked at Temari who was walking with the smallest hint of a smile o her face.

She stopped to look at him with a smile, "Yoshino is a nice woman we met earlier, I didn't know she was your mother I wasn't going to turn down her offer but I'm still mad at you and if it wasn't for your mother I would have beating you to a bloody pulp back there so I suggest you not talk about me or do anything to annoy me or else tomorrow at dinner I will have to explain how I killed her son." He knew she wasn't joking and the creepy part is that she didn't stop smiling till they started walking again.

They walked in silence. Shikamaru was thinking about dinner tomorrow he couldn't believe his mom invited her and Temari had talked t his mom about him he wondered what she had said that could give his mother the wrong idea had she told her they kissed. "Temari what did you and my mom talk about, what did you say about me and us?"

Us? "There is no us… I told her your lazy, annoying, sexist, obnoxious, and irritating, things I'm sure she knows already but still if I had known she was your mom I wouldn't have said all of that even if it true."

"Why?" he asked simply as the made it to the apartment. "Huh?" she was still thinking of how he said us as if something was going on between them. "If you knew why wouldn't you have said anything?"

"Ohh… well I wouldn't have wanted to insult her son."

He didn't say anything else. The rest of the day he watched clouds for a bit thinking about her, then came back around the time she would have dinner even if she was mad he knew she would cook but today she barely made anything for him. After they played a few rounds of shogi, he was left shocked she had almost trapped him.

After their game she made her way to her room saying goodnight, she had a huge grin she had gotten close to beating him she was starting to understand his moves. She laid in bed not thinking about him but herself and her feelings how they were wrong, till she drifted off to sleep.

The next morning she got ready and left to meet the girls at a nice little café not too far from Shikamaru's apartment she told him she knew where it was and didn't need him to take her there. At the café she found Tenten, Hinata and Sakura sitting drinking some tea. Ino said she couldn't make it but everyone knew she was on her cousins' side and Temari didn't blame her she felt bad about the kisses she and Shikamaru had shared.

She said hi to all the girls and sat next to Tenten "Temari I can't believe your leaving tomorrow, when the next time you'll be in Konoha?" she asked.

"Well I think Gaara wants to have the final ready in a month or two, so maybe he'll send me again if not I'll be here to plan the chunin exam in three months."

"Well hope it's in a month that way you're here for Tsunade birthday, it's a blast it's one of the only days that Shizune lets her drink and this year she's throwing a formal party." Sakura said with a huge smile.

"Well I can't miss that I'm sure I can convince Gaara to send me again who knows." Temari took a sip of tea.

"That's good… so… tell us everything." Tenten grinned devilish. "Huh… I don't kno-"

"Oh come on Temari, you and Shikamaru it's so well obvious." Tenten said. "Nothing is going on, we're just friends."

"Oh really you left with him early, did you think we didn't see you guys leave the festival we just haven't said anything." Temari hid her blush remembering the kiss.

"So Hinata when you and Naruto final going to tie the knot."

Hinata laughed "don't change the subject Temari" she snickered. "Girls Shikamaru has a girlfriend even if I did like him which I don't I couldn't do anything about it." Temari felt guilty saying that when she liked him and kissed him but that was all over no more of that she can't she won't.

"Ok your right but he need to break up with her and then you two can get together"

"Yea and he's never said she was his girlfriend anyways he totally like Temari you guys would make a cute couple."

"Ok can we please stop talking about my non-existing relationship with Shikamaru."

"Uh fine be a downer," Tenten whined. "Ok Temari so what are you plans for the rest of the day." Sakura said taking a bit out of Tenten's cake earning a glare.

Temari and Hinata let out a few giggles, "Not much packing go to dinner and more packing so not much."

"Dinner is Shikamaru taking you out." Tenten snickered. "No if it was up to him we wouldn't go but Yoshino insisted and-"

"Yoshino! As in Mrs. Nara! Omg Shikamaru introduced you to his mom and you going to dinner with them!" Sakura shrieked. Temari had forgotten that the all knew Shikamaru's family, and now she was pretty sure her ears were bleeding. "No it's not like that I didn't know she was his mom I met her before and we go to talking and when she found out Shikamaru was my escort she invited me over." Temari said trying not to blush.

All the girls looked at her with wide eyes, "Temari that a big deal, Mrs. Nara was a Kunoichi she was considered one of the fiercest she's no easily impressed the fact that she invited you to dinner is well a big deal we all know her and she's never once invited one of us to dinner, the only one she's invited is Ino but that their clans along with Choji's are connected and there on the same team." Temari hadn't realized that she just thought she was nice; it kind of made her nervous about dinner.

"It's just a dinner that's it can we please get off any Shikamaru related topics." Temari said getting annoyed that the topic of her and Shikamaru, she didn't want to feel anything when it came to him it would just be a distraction.

"But Temari you guys-" "Please no more Shikamaru topics or I'm leaving." Temari glared at them. "Ok ok we get it we'll stop."

The rest of the day the girls talked about her stays and their missions, adventure stories and reminisced about the war. The girls talked about their relationships, making Temari think about her speck of a love life and then she thought of Shikamaru.

Next Chapter:

"Shikamaru don't tell me you haven't told your parents about your sl- girlfriend." Temari heard Shikamaru whisper 'troublesome bitch' under his breath.
