I leave for uni tomorrow and I don't know when I will be able to update. I only have two chapters typed up so I'll have to work on it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
The Hokage was drunk. It didn't really come as a surprise to anyone everyone knew that the Hokage loved to drink. Shizune was trying to control the Hokage to no luck.
Tenten and Temari got back to the party an hour and half later, they had been at the café talking about everything and they had come to a deal. Tenten was going to try to convince Temari to stay and Temari was going to think about it. Tenten even offered to get Shikamaru and Kiyomi to break up so Shikamaru and Temari could be together; Temari told her that if the lazy ass wanted to be with her he would break it off Kiyomi.
While Temari and Tenten were at the café, Shikamaru wished for death, he was stuck at that the party with Kiyomi joined at the hip and Ino talking to Kiyomi. He found both of them annoying and wanted to leave, mostly he scanned the room for Temari. He wondered where she had gone.
Gaara was talking to Naruto, while Kankuro was hitting on some poor girl who he would most likely convince to go back to the hotel with him. They had planned to talk to Shikamaru but hadn't found the time to talk to him alone, in other words his girlfriend wouldn't leave him alone.
Shikamaru spotted Temari on the other side of the room talking to Sakura, Hinata, Matsuri and Tenten. Hinata already knew Temari was planning to leave as ambassador due to Naruto's big mouth; luckily Hinata had managed to make Naruto shut up on the subject.
Tenten had spotted Shikamaru looking over at Temari many times, she had also seen Temari's eyes meet his and look as if they were the only two in the room. She didn't care what Temari called it, it was love. Tenten wasn't one for girly stuff but this was painfully obvious, many people could see that they liked each other but now due to recent revelations it was clear to her it was more than just an attraction.
Temari went to get drinks and Tenten convinced Sakura and Hinata to ask their dates to dance, she even got Matsuri to ask Gaara which he surprisingly accepted, due to pressure from the guys and his brother, who left with the poor girl he had been hitting on for the past hour. When they left Tenten made her way to Kiyomi and Ino and talked them into going to the bathroom to fix their make-up, giving Shikamaru the out he needed to talk to Temari. Tenten was smart she managed to clear the way for Shikamaru. Neji was also smart he saw what she had just done.
Shikamaru made his way over to Temari, "Temari, we need to talk" he said flatly. He really wasn't one to go out of his way for anything but Temari was driving him crazy he need to talk to her again mostly he needed to hold her and kiss her.
"We don't have anything to talk about, Nara. Now if you'll excuse me" she said drinking her sake and walking away.
"No. we have a lot to talk about troublesome woman." He said grabbing her wrist. She hated to admit it but she even missed him calling her troublesome woman.
It took her a while to respond, "Fine but not here, lazy ass" she said escaping his grip walking to the bar taking a bottle of sake and a cup then walking outside.
"Want some" she said pouring the sake into the cup. He nodded taking the cup, while she drank from the bottle. "So what do you want to talk about?" She said.
He sighed, "What a drag, you really are troublesome you know."
"I know that's why I'm interesting to you isn't it" she said getting him by surprise. "Look if this is cause I left without saying goodbye don't be such a crybaby, crybaby" she said drinking some more.
"It's more than a goodbye; it's about what happened before you left." He said taking the bottle from her pouring more into his cup.
"Look nothing happened ok so leave it at that, Nara" she said snatching the bottle back.
"Something did happen. Twice, troublesome woman" he said, she glared at him. "Whatever ok. It doesn't matter because you have a girlfriend, what happened was just losing control ok it happens" she said looking at the sky.
"Twice?" he said raising an eyebrow. "If I remember correctly, which I do, it was you who-"
"Shut-up! You have a girlfriend ok, so leave me alone what happened was a one- two time thing that's all." She said getting up.
He got up after her, "Look if it's about Kiyomi, I don't care about her so you have no argument there. Admit you like me that's why you slept with me and kissed me all those times."
"I don't like you, you like me, Nara. I was just having fun that's all you were my boy toy while I was at Konoha." She said getting mad.
"Boy toy, sure I'm pretty sure it was more than that, troublesome woman" he said getting mad too.
She turned red with anger and embarrassment, "You were just a way to have fun so don't go feeling all high and mighty" she said.
"Whatever." He said back at her.
"Shut-up ok I'm a busy person, go back to your girlfriend ok she probably loved it when you got in her pants" she said angrily, shoving him.
"I haven't, I don't plan on doing it with Kiyomi like I said she means nothing to me." He said grabbing her wrist again. She was shocked at what he said; she didn't know what to say.
"She's your girlfriend ok and what happened between us won't happen again so drop it." She said looking at the ground, "Plus whatever the case I wish you two the best, she doesn't have to worry about me anymore."
"What" he didn't believe she wished him the best. "I'm leaving. Matsuri is taking over my job as ambassador." She said looking at him.
"What do you mean taking over?" He couldn't believe what he just heard.
"It means you won't see me again, I resigned as ambassador. I'm leaving after this you won't see me. I'm gone. I'm done with Konoha. You lazy ass won't-" she didn't finish, he kissed her and she kissed him back. Before they knew it she was pinned against a wall and they were making out.
"You're so troublesome." He said breaking the kiss for a breath.
She was speechless after the kiss, it took her a while to get her words out. "I know, lazy ass," she said, he smiled. "I think we should go back inside before your girlfriend comes looking for you, she gets on my nerves"
He laughed, "Mines too." She smiled, "well I'll see you around, you know till I have to leave." "You don't have to, just ask Gaara for your job back and-"
"I chose to resign. Gaara was against it, and Tenten is trying to convince me to stay but judging from resent event I really shouldn't stay." She said looking at him, completely serious. "I'm going now." She said without giving him time to say anything or even stop her. He knew once she got back inside he couldn't talk to her till they were alone again. Troublesome.
Temari walked back to the group of girls how had all finished dancing with their dates. She saw Shikamaru walk back in a few minutes after her; she could see that Kiyomi had been looking for him.
Tsunade was getting drunker and drunker by the minute. She practically stayed the whole party near the bar. Sakura, Hinata and Matsuri went to help with the glass she had just made the waiter drop. It was hard to believe that before she became the fifth she drank 4X as much as now.
"I saw what you did," Temari said to Tenten, she had known what Tenten was trying to do as soon as Tenten went over to Kiyomi and Ino.
"I have no idea what you talking about" Tenten said with a smile before walking towards the bar.
"I saw what you did there too, you know, cleaver" Tenten froze at the voice. "Want to make a make a bet?" Tsunade said not as drunk as she had thought.
