The Result
Deidara and Temari stood at the bottom of the tree, waiting nervously, not looking at each other. Chouji climbed down.
"Shikamaru will see you now." He said. They both climbed the ladder, and went in.
"This is troublesome." Shikamaru said. "This is really, really troublesome. I mean… REALLY troublesome. I… I just…"
"It's alright, Stag." Deidara said, soothingly. "Just tell us. We'll understand, un?"
"Yes, we will." Temari added. "We're ready."
"I… I…" Shikamaru paused, and took a deep breath. "I'm sorry. Just, really sorry. I've led you both on. I… I can't do this."
"What?" Temari squawked, not quite understanding what he meant.
"I'm sorry. I'm in love with him. With Chouji. I always have been. I… I'm just really sorry. I should never have done this."
Deidara stood angrily, and opened his mouth as if to say something. Then he jumped out of the room. His hands had evidently been busy, as he landed on the back of one of his special birds, and began to fly away.
"I would have changed for you! I would have lived!" He shouted as he went, heartbroken.
Temari just stared at him. Just stared. Finally, she spoke in little more than a whisper. "You may no longer consider Suna an ally." She said. "We will never help you."
At last, Shikamaru went to the ground, to see Chouji.
"How did it go?" he asked.
"Not good." Shikamaru replied, then smiled. "But I think we'll make it."
