Shikamaru starts to teach them how to solve the equation

"What is he trying to do?" Temari thought as Shikamaru's face is near to hers. "If he tries to kiss me, I will punch him really, really hard." Temari thought to herself. Shikamaru's face is an inch apart from hers. She closed her tightly and…and…she felt her hair on her shoulders. "Why did you close your eyes? What are you thinking?" Shikamaru said. "Ugh!! Why did you do that?! Now my hair is in a big mess." Temari said. "I just want to see you with you hair down. Why is your face turning to red?" Shikamaru said. "No it's not!!" Temari said as she fix her hair in a ponytail style. "Yes it is…" Shikamaru said as she walks out to the woods "…its getting late we should go home." "Sure." Temari said. Shikamaru is in front of her; she ran towards Shikamaru and unties his hair. "And now its fair." Temari said. "Troublesome woman." Shikamru said as he tie his hair again. "You look like an addict with your hair down." Temari said as she giggles. "Well see you later pineapple head. Bye." Temari said and she runs.

"Women are really troublesome. She is so annoying. She kept asking questions about how I enjoy watching clouds. But she is the first girl that accompanies me watching clouds. And she looks really pretty, especially when her hair is down." Shikamaru thought to himself as he walk to go their house. "Thought this day would be tiring. Guess its not. Wish that this day would happen again." "Wait, why am I thinking of her?" Shikamaru said and he is trying to erase his thoughts about Temari.

"How could he do that to me? He is so annoying. He is the worst guy I've ever met. But he did actually save me from falling. And I didn't get the chance to thank him. I should thank him, but wait he unties my hair and fool me. Wait he didn't fool me; I am the one who thinks that he will kiss me. I really need to thank him." Temari said.

Temari is on her way to Shikamaru's house but she didn't know exactly where it is. She is roaming around when Sai spotted her. "What are you looking for?" Sai said. "Oh Sai. Good timing. Do you know this place?" Temari said. "Yup. Why?" Sai asks. "Well, I'm looking for Shikamaru's house. Do you know where it is?" Temari said. "Yes, they are so popular here, they have a big place." Sai said as he walks Temari to Shikamaru's place.

"Ummm,may I know the reason why are you looking for their place?"

"umm…"

"You want to ask him some questions? I heard that he is your tutor. Is that true?"

"Yup."

"Well, he is really smart, he can be a professional teacher, if he remove his laziness."

"Your right."

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Nope. Never had one."

"Why? Your pretty and kind, why wouldn't you have a boyfriend? Did someone ask you to be their girlfriend?"

"Yes, in Suna, but I didn't accept it, they are all driving me crazy, as I enter our house someone is always there and its almost everyday, good thing my father let us come with him."

"Well, how about here in Konoha?"

"Quite many. Why did you ask?"

"Oh, nothing. Well, did you ever like someone here?"

"I don't know."

"Well, if you ever liked someone, he is so lucky to have you. You are one of a kind girl. Pretty, smart, kind everything is in you."

"Thanks. (Blushing)"

"Oh, here we are."

"Thanks."

"Anytime. Bye Temari."

"Bye. Thanks again."

Shikamaru saw her and Sai. He was standing outside their shop. "What brings you here troublesome woman?" Shikamaru said. "Don't you ever call the daughter of the Kazekage a troublesome woman. Good Afternoon Lady Temari, sorry about my son. Um, well I will prepare the tea for the two of you. For the meantime, you can sit there or if you want you can go to the barnyard if you want to see our deers. Shikamru son, entertain our guest okay." Shikamaru's mother said. Shikamaru scratch his head. "Troublesome." Shikamaru said.

"Well, what do you want to do? Don't answer I don't know again." Shikamaru said.

"Okay. Well, can we go to your room?" Temari said.

"Okay."

They were in Shikamaru's room. It was big but not as big as her bedroom. His bed is soft and his room has an entrance to the rooftop. Someone knocked at the door. It was Shikamru's mother with the tea. She landed it on Shikamru's atudy table amd then she left the room. Temari found something on top of his study table.

"What is that?"

"Shogi."

"Shogi?"

"Wanna play?"

"Well, I don't know how to play that."

"It's easy."

After the Shikamaru's explanation of how to play shogi, they started playing, since Temari is a beginner, he easily defeated her on their first and second battle but on the third round…

"Checkmate!" Temari shouted.

"What the—no one can defeat me on this game."

"Well I did."

"Whatever. Hey, you haven't answered my question yet, what are you doing here troublesome woman?"

"Hey! Have you forgotten what your mother said to me, don't call me troublesome woman."

"Whatever."

"Well, I forgot to thank you for saving my life back there. So I went to your house."

"Oh. Is that all?"

"Yup. Were you expecting something else?"

"Huh? No."

"Well, I need to go home now. It's getting late and still I don't know if my brothers are still with their girlfriends."

"I'll accompany you to your house then."

"No thanks. I can go home alone."

"Well, it's not good for a man letting a girl go home all by herself."

"(sigh) sayings again."

"So, let's go now."

"Fine."

They go down and Temari says goodbye to Shikamaru's mother. "Sorry for bothering you Mrs. Nara." Temari said. "It's our pleasure, to have you here Lady Temari." Shikamru's mother said. "Just call me Temari, thanks for the tea Mrs. Nara, goodbye, take care." Temari wave her hands to Shikamaru's mother. "Take care also. Goodbye." Shikamru's mother said. "You know what yupr mother is not that scary." Temari said to Shikamaru. "You're just saying it but when you live here you will changed what you said." Shikamru said. "Whatever." Temari replied. "This girl is so unbelievable, she is one of a kind, first she watched clouds with me then, played shogi with me and beat me, which no one can actually do. She is really pretty, I think--" Shikamaru's thoughts were stopped when Temari looked at him. "What are you staring at?"

Temari said as she looked at Shikamaru and her face is too close to Shikamaru that they look into each other's eyes. They stayed for that position for a few minutes and as they turned away, they were both blushing. "What was that all about? Why is my heart beating so fast?-- Is this Love?" The two of them had the same thoughts and had the same question that didn't know how to answer.
