Chapter 2: Three Years Later
-----
"I don't understand." Ino pouted. "I am the most beautiful girl in the entire village! Why doesn't he come after me."
Chouji devoured the beef on his plate, "Why would you want some stranger to seduce you?" he gulped his food and blushed lightly, "Wouldn't it be more special with someone you love and know?"
"Oh phooey with that Chouji. I want to be swept off my feet by the sexy Casanova." She gushed.
Shikamaru supported his face on his hand, smirking. "Maybe you're not his type."
"Sexy is every man's type, Shikamaru." She scoffed, "You wouldn't know, because women are too troublesome for you."
He chuckled, if she only knew. Ino was a sin, well actually she is practically all of them. If vanity was a choice of the seven, she'd be the overlord. She thinks that the world revolves around her, and that other's don't have lives outside her own. Every man likes to fool around with a drop dead gorgeous girl, but you don't marry that type of girl. Ino will never settle for one man, because she finds joy in the chase. If she only knew that the only man who would ever truly love her, for more than just her looks, was wolfing down beef right now.
"What if Casanova was Chouji?"
"Never." Ino rolled her eyes. "He hardly has the nerve to talk to girls."
"What if he was me?"
"You're the laziest guy on earth, I bet you're to lazy to even get it up."
Shikamaru merely shrugged at the low blow. He stood up and stretched his arms. "See you guys later."
"Where you going?" Chouji mumbled through his overstuffed cheeks.
"I have to go to the Hokage's office, another troublesome mission." And hopefully one out of town.
Like usual, he wanted to be late. He nearly strived to be tardy, almost, but eventually he found himself in front of the huge looming mahogany doors. He knocked once, and her gruff voice beckoned him in. Hopefully this mission wouldn't be too troublesome.

"Shikamaru do you understand your mission?" Tsunade repeated.
He looked dumbstruck, "She's alive?"
"No Shikamaru, I am assigning you to a mission with a dead girl." She wittily added, "Of course she is!"
"But... I thought..." he stuttered.
The Hokage sighed, "Evidently those ninja we caught didn't know that when they left her, she was still alive."
Flashback
"Man, I am hungry." Naruto grabbed his stomach almost painfully.
"Me too." Kiba chimed in.
"Me three." Said Chouji munching on some barbecue chips.
Neji just crossed his arms and grunted, "It's your call Shikamaru."
Shikamaru shrugged, "Troublesome. Through the forest is a small village if we..."
"Whoo hoo!" yelled Naruto as he race through the forest.
"What did I do to deserve this?" He sighed.
The forest around them rushed by like a wild current, no sound could really be heard, but smell on the other hand...Kiba halted to a complete stop, and nearly doubled over.
"Kiba!" Naruto yelled, "You okay? Ugh! Whats that smell?" Naruto pinched his nose.
"There are two guys up ahead." Neji smoothly responded, is bakuygan was activated.
They stealthily approached the men, one was a darker man, bald, and carried a extremely large spiked war hammer. The other man, who Shikamaru guessed was the leader, had bright blonde hair and was rippling with muscles. Well, they both were. These men looked like they trained their bodies since infantry.
"Three months of that bitch, and I kind of miss her." Said the darker man. "I mean she was a good fuck."
"Such harsh words," the leader tisked, "But i do agree, making her scream was like angels singing to my ears."
The dark man frowned, "But the bitch did kill four of our best guys."
"They can be replaced." The blonde smirked, "The best women, are the strong ones. Breaking them is so much fun. They all eventually crack, especially when all their bones are."
The laughed at this, and patted each other on the back.
"This is revolting." Neji sneered.
They nodded in agreement.
"Is that what that smell was? Blood and sex?" Naruto asked Kiba.
"No." He shook is head, "Blood and rape."
Kiba quickly plugged his nose as a gust of wind blew past them.
It blew the men's scent to them, it smelt like sweat, blood, and... lilies? Shikamaru's eyes shot open, and everyone looked perplexed.
"She was so beautiful." the leader chuckled, "I wonder what that Suna girl's brothers will think if we sent them her body shredded to pieces."
Temari...
End of flashback
Needless to say, it took all of the boys to stop Shikamaru from killing the men. They brought them back with them, and those disgusting vile men smiled as they told every single detail of what they did to Temari. It was sickening. They didn't know her name. What color her eyes were. They just remembered what they touched and how they touched it. Despicable! They didn't pick her because she was beautiful, powerful, or intelligent, they chose her because she was there. It was a moment of opportunity, they were horny and she was a woman. It hurt Shikamaru, he let another person he held so dear die.
"Shikamaru." The Hokage sighed, "I understand you care about Temari, but you must realize that we have bigger problems in our mists. The village is in danger, the land of lightening is planning an attack, that could wipe out half of our village."
"My mission is to infiltrate Kumo and pose as a fellow ninja and receive the dirt about our village, along with my pseudo wife Temari." Shikamaru stated, "I know."
She held out a manila folder towards him, but as he reached she pulled away, "No slip ups. She will meet you at the gates tomorrow morning." He nodded and she handed him the folder.
Later that night, he went in search of a woman. He was worried about this, to say the least. What if Temari found out about his dirty little secret? If anyone were to, it definitely would be her, nothing got past her hawk eyes. What if they were in the village hidden in the clouds for more than a month... he would definitely need his uh 'fullfilment'. He felt dirty whenever he thought of what he was doing. Sure all these women wanted it, he used every type of protection he could, but Chouji's words get to him every time "Wouldn't it be more special with someone you love and know?" Of course it would, that's all he really wanted.
He saw several girls that would do well, but none that lit the candle. He even saw Ino, which made him burst out laughing. She was dressed very provocatively, and she was tapping her foot impatiently. Some girls... Eventually he found her, a fiery red head, with subtle curves.
But in the morning, he would deal with, golden blonde, with deadly curves.

Sorry this one is short too. And this one was kinda gruesome, it ties into a later chapter. Next chapter will be longer. Hope you enjoyed.
