Hey, sorry it me a while to update that might happen from time to time now that I'm in Uni. I have had a busy and great week, I did rush, yes I'm a sorority girl but its not like in movies.

I didn't really know how to write is chapter I wanted to do something with the Nara forest and show Temari and Shikamaru's softer sides so hope it ok.

Anyways here's chapter 20, please review and any ideas please feel free to PM me or just in the reviews I only have two other chapters in mind and if I cant think of anything then I'll put this story on hold and start one of the others I have.

Disclaimer: Is Masashi Kishimoto in a Sorority... doubt it. I do not own Naruto.

Gaara and Kankuro left yesterday, Temari was currently showing Matsuri around and teaching her what she needed to know about the job. After Temari took Matsuri to the hot springs, "Hey, I'm going to head out and go buy a few thing you can stay longer I'll meet you back at the hotel," Temari said getting out of the hot spring wrapping a towel around herself. "Yea such see you later," Matsuri said still with her eyes closed.

Temari stopped at the store and bought some candy and instant noodles. Then made her way to a book store she had run out of reading material, she was in the fiction section when she hear someone call her name, "Temari is that you."

"Yoshino," she said when she turned around to find Shikamaru's mother. "It's so great to see you again can't believe Shikamaru didn't tell me he was escorting you again."

"Ohh… umm he's not… I'm just here training the new ambassador," Temari said looking at the floor. "Ohh, well it's great seeing you again, why don't you come over for a late lunch." Yoshino asked.

"I'd love too but I won't want to intrude and I was going to take Matsuri some food." Temari answered. "You won't be intruding Shikaku's away on a mission I'll have plenty of food left over you can take some to your friend."

"Umm sure I guess…. Thank you," Temari said. "Don't mention it," Yoshino smiled, Temari purchased two books and followed Yoshino out. They made their way to the Nara compound. Once inside Yoshino excused herself for a minute.

Temari waited at the table in the kitchen till Yoshino came back. "So what was that about you training a new ambassador?" Yoshino asked as she put down their plates and poured a cup of tea.

"Oh well I've resigned as ambassador and I'm just here training my replacement." Temari explained. "Oh why did you resign, hope it didn't have to with my lazy son." Temari chocked on her food, but recomposed herself.

She cleared her throat, "No, I've just been neglecting my other duties and decided to focus more on them, that's all." Yoshino got the feeling that it did have to do with her son. "Sorry to hear that you're leaving I had hoped we could become better friend." Yoshino said.

"Yea it hard leaving all my friends behind, but I'll still see them and you when I come for the chunin exam are here as the Kazekages' bodyguard."

"That true, though now with the treaties it will be 2 years and a half before they return to Konoha and unfortunately the Kages are only at the exam sites for about 3-4 days."

"Yes that true but I'm sure I'll find time and there's always a chance that some may go to the exams as a proctor or in future with their own team." She smiled thinking about her first team.

They finished their food and Yoshino went to packed some for Matsuri. Temari decided to help by doing the dishes but then someone knocked on the door Yoshino went to see who it was.

"Norio told me that you said Satomi got sick is she ok did you-" Temari could hear Shikamaru say as he barged into his former home and walked out to see him. "Temari, what are you doing her" he said seeing her.

"I invited her over and Satomi's fine she has a small cut from incident but I took care of her." Yoshino said. "Mom Norio told me you said she got very sick," he said glaring at her for scaring him.

"Well it could get infected I wanted you to take a look just in case." Yoshino said. Shikamaru looked at Temari who was totally lost on what was going on, "Shikamaru why don't you take Temari with you to check on Satomi while I make some more tea."

Shikamaru knew what was going on, "Troublesome woman, fine come on." Shikamaru didn't really care about what exactly his mom was planning but he did want to talk to Temari so it works out in his favor. Shikamaru went to the back door and went out going into the forest. Temari was still lost but curious she followed him into the woods.

Shikamaru stopped and turned to look at Temari, "don't make and sudden movements or loud noises," she just nodded. Shikamaru walked forward a bit and out stretched his arm. A deer came out from behind the trees and walked over to Shikamaru, it had a bandage around its torso. Shikamaru petted it; she could swear the deer was staring at her.

"Satomi this is Temari, she's a friend," Shikamaru said to the deer, "You can come closer and pet her if you like just be careful with her wound." Temari slowly walked closer to the deer and slowly pet her. "She's so soft," Temari said looking up at Shikamaru with a smile, "Hey there Satomi how you doing, Shikamaru here's going to fix you up and make sure you're alright." Temari could swear Satomi understood every word.

Shikamaru smiled at her, he inspected the wound while Temari petted her. "All done, I don't think I'll have to call Hana, her wound is alright and no sign of an infection." Satomi laid down after Shikamaru finished, Temari and Shikamaru sat down next to her and continued to pet her, "Kiba sister, doesn't she work with dogs." She asked "Yes but she specializes in veterinary medical ninjutsu so she works with us for the deer's. I'll check again in a few days."

"She's special to you isn't she," Temari said after a while.

"Huh… Ohh yea she was my first deer I got her the day she was born when I was 7." He said petting her. "I can tell, you have a different look in your eyes, she's sweet I've never seen a deer before."

"Yea I guess I tend to look those who are special to me differently… I guess I look at you that way too." Shikamaru said.

"Shikamaru don't," Temari said quietly. "Don't what Temari I told you before Kiyomi doesn't mean anything to me. God you're so damn troublesome making need to hold and kiss you it's becoming a drag but it can't be helped by the look of it. I'll break up with Kiyomi today if you want."

"Shikamaru stop, if you break up with her now it will look it's my fault, plus I'm not coming back to Konoha anyways so forget any crazy ideas about us and I'll do the same. I'm not good at relationships, make no sense for you to give one up for a random hook-up" She said wishing she could take out some of what she said.

Shikamaru let out a chuckle, "took you long enough to admit you like me, troublesome woman and you're not a random hook-up I like you," he said. "Hey I never admitted to anything lazy ass." She chimed back at him smiling. "Whatever you sa-" he managed to get out before her lips were on his, Satomi walked away leaving them alone.

"I'm not saying I want a full on relationship with you or anything but if you want to be with me, as in sleep with me, you're only with me and no one else." She said after she broke the kiss.

"Fine I'll break it off with Kiyomi and I'll be with only you but you have to do the same." He said giving her another kiss. "Umm… fine" she said flirtatiously with a small kiss and a laugh. "But wait till I'm gone to break it off so people don't think it's my fault and don't tell anyone we're hooking-up. If I don't come back as ambassador again, you're free to sleep with whoever you want and so am I."

"Troublesome as always, fine. Does this mean you're still going to try to be the ambassador?" he asked giving her a kiss. "I'll see what I can do." She smiled.

"So do you want to back to my place?" he asked with a sly grin.

She got up and walked back to the house, "We'll see," she chimed.
