Sorry for not updating. I've been busy.
I read the reviews and I agree the beginning does suck lol xD
Here's the next chapter. Ohh and review please?
"Sh-shikamaru?" Temari gasped.
"I know, it was stupid...." He let go of her hands and looked out the window.
"Let's talk to Tsunade."
"Okay." Shikamaru got up and stretched. They left and headed towards the Hokage building.
"So Shikamaru, Naruto is going to be the next Hokage huh?"
"Well he did save us. He's also really strong. I can't believe he actually brought Sasuke back."
"I thought Sasuke was a goner, I wonder how he did it."
"Yeah me too."
"Have you seen Sasuke?"
"I haven't spoken to him, but I've seen him around, he seems less of a douche." Shikamaru laughs.
Temari smirks, "How?"
"I saw him holding hands with Sakura, and he was..... smiling at her."
"Awe." Temari smiled.
"Yeah I-" But he was cut off by Temari's kiss. It was just a quick peck. He wrapped his arm around her waist and smiled at her. "We're going to figure this out Temari, I promise." They walked in silence.
"We're here."
"Naruto might be in there." Shikamaru said.
"It's okay, he's going to be the seventh Hokage so he should know."
"You're right." He opened the door and let her go in first. They went up the stairs from the inside. Temari knocked on the huge doors of the Hokage's office.
"Enter." They heard Tsunade yell. When they walked in they saw Naruto arguing with her.
"OI! Granny! I wanted to say that!"
"Shut up Naruto! I'm still Hokage!"
"For now." Tsunade glared at him. "Hey Shikamaru," Naruto said grinning, "And Temari, what brings you two here?"
"Naruto keep your mouth shut! I'll be the one speaking."
"For now." Naruto smirked. Shizune who was behind Tsunade sweat dropped.
"I should go." Shizune said gathering some papers, "I'll be back with more paperwork." She left.
"Lady Tsunade, permission to speak?" Temari said.
"We're not in the military Temari, just go on with it." Naruto said.
"We sort of are Naruto." Shikamaru grumbled.
"What is it Temari?" Tsunade asked.
"I'm getting married." Temari said.
"Yes I know, you're brother has sent me a letter saying he wants you to leave today."
"WHAT?! You're getting married?" Naruto yelled.
"Shut up Naruto." Shikamaru said.
"I don't want to get married Lady Tsunade," Temari said her voice cracking. Tsunade stared at her curiously. Naruto stayed quiet. "Is there anyway to s-stop it?"
"Temari, as the Third Kazekage's daughter you should of seen something like this coming."
"I know," Temari said tears running down her cheeks slowly. Tsunade then stared at the gap between Shikamaru and Temari, "It's just-"
"I understand Temari, there's no need to explain." She stared into Shikamaru's eyes.
"I don't understand." Naruto said.
"Shi-shikamaru..." Temari began crying now, she reached for his shoulder, but he embraced her instead.
"Dont cry Temari." He whispered.
"Ohh...." Naruto said. He stared at them and then out the window lost in thought. "Granny..."
"I know Naruto, but this isn't like what happened with you," Tsunade said. He then looked down at his left hand, "the Hyuuga's are part of this village, and Temari isn't. I don't know what to do." She finished. Naruto rubbed his wedding ring smiling. He imagined his wife, Hinata.
"Lady Tsunade?" Shikamaru said.
"Yes Shikamaru?"
"What if she's already married, they can't force her to marry whoever she's suppose to, right?" He stared into Tsunade's eyes.
"Shika....maru....?" Tsunade said wide eyed. Naruto stared at him speechless. Temari is still in his arms, trying to stop crying.
"Answer me!" Shikamaru yelled.
"Naruto." Tsunade said.
"Hai." Naruto said running out the room.
"I don't know if Suna's laws are like us, but here it's positive that an arranged marriage would be cancelled if the bride or the groom is wed to somebody else, but with permission of both living families."
"Shikamaru." Temari said.
"What is it?" He asked her. Tsunade sat behind the desk in silence.
"I need to go."
"Not yet, Temari." He hugged her tighter.
"Granny Tsunade, I sent the letter." Naruto said.
"What letter?" Shikamaru asked.
"I told Naruto to send a letter to the Kazekage before you knocked."
"She didn't let me read it though."
"What did you say?"
"I told him 'Of course Temari's friends will escort and attend the wedding. She'll be arriving soon.'"
"How many?" Temari asked.
"You know the usual...." Naruto said grinning.
"Twelve.... isn't it Lady Tsunade?" Shikamaru asked.
"Isn't that a bit to much? What if you need them for some missions?"
"Well Team Kurenai and Team Gai are out on missions, so six of you will be leaving today. The others should be there a day after you."
"Lady Tsunade, you knew this was going to happen, what exactly are you planning?" Temari asked.
"Of course I knew. And I knew Shikamaru wasn't going to like it. It's obvious he loves you. I was wondering when he was going to tell you, but this happens." Tsunade sighed.
"We're going to stop this wedding!" Naruto grinned.
"Hold your horses Naruto and don't blurt things out like that. Shikamaru is going to stop this wedding, the rest of you are going to sit and watch. Act like you know nothing."
"Does everyone else know?" Shikamaru asked.
"No, you'll have to them-"
"That I'm getting married." Temari finished for her.
"Don't worry Temari." Shikamaru kissed her.
"Wait, why can't I do anything?" Naruto looked at Tsunade. "You're not allowed to butt in, you hear me?" Tsunade growled.
"Yes Granny Tsunade!" He stepped away from her.
"Dismissed." Tsunade said.
* * *
"Oi, Shikamaru, are you gonna let me do something?" Naruto asked. His arms held his head and he stared at the sky waiting for an answer.
"Don't worry Naruto. Now go tell the others to meet at the front gates in an hour."
"Fine, fine." Naruto said and he disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"What are you going to do?" Temari asked.
"I'm going to talk to this Katsou guy." Shikamaru said simply.
"And if he doesn't listen?"
"I'll stop the wedding by force then."
"How?"
"I can't tell you."
"Shikamaru, I command you to tell me!"
"I'm sorry Temari, but you have to stay clueless till then."
"Are you going to tell Gaara your plan?"
"Of course." They walked a little more.
"My stuff are at the inn." She said.
"Ohh yeah, heh. I forgot." Shikamaru said.
"I'll meet you at the gates then." She said.
"In an hour." He kissed her and they walked away from each other.
