Authors Randomness,Ahm Yeah. Thanks for the review. Love you guys. Bow. Anyone have a wrench yet? I'm trying to finish this before my three lil cousins come home,they steal the computer.

I write a part of this story everyday-im destroying my laziness.

3-15-09

Temari layed down on her master bed reliving what happened earlier with a certain someone.

-Earlier-

"If it is,I accept." Shikamaru said.

Temari laughed. "You can't win this,Nara." She was right. "I decide if I fall for you or not."

"So?"

Temari leaned forward and told him to come closer,when he did she flicked his forehead.

"Nara,it's a kind of girl that knows this is just a challenge would still fall in love?"

"Ah,I'm hoping that you're that girl." Shikamaru said simply that Temari was irked yet again so she pinched his nose. His nose had turned red. He kind of reminded him of Rudolph the red nose ,he sure has some sensitive skin for a guy.

Shikamaru smiled and Temari asked him why he was smiling.

"You're not that sensitive huh?"

"I'm not a cry baby,Nara."

"No,you're right. Big girls don't cry." He raised an eyebrow. He was making fun yet again.

Temari refused to smile,that she was frowning though her lips were slightly twitching. A guy that annoys him yet amuses her,interesting. Very interesting. But not a guy that she would fall for,a definite No. He would not win. She would not fall,it's a game.

A few minutes of silence passes by.

"So,how about a date?"

"No"

"Please?"

"I said No,Nara."

"I'll let you abuse me while we're having the date." He persisted. He waggled his feminine eyebrows.

What the hell am I thinking!? I'm suicidal,he thought.

"You could send me to jail,that's called date abuse." Temari said. "And why are you so persistant?"

"It's a challenge." Shikamaru said. And...I dunno,I'm trying something new...I'm actually trying.

"Still a no."

"Ok,then." He stood up and then looked around and looked up the ceiling once again. "At last angels as you can see from your view,I have poison thee before it ever had a chance to breath."

"What the hell?" Temari's mouth slightly opened. "Are you some kinda emo poet person?"

Shikamaru reverted his gaze to her.

"Almost like Romeo and you're my Juliet that seems to have forgotten her lines because you're playing hard to get. Juliet was kind of easy,no offense to her,she was young to understand." He said with a smile.

Temari laughed. Shikamaru actually love her laugh when it's genuine. It gives her personality more color. He could see much better into her. He understands she has walls and he will break those walls with whatever weapons he could get...hilarious since she'll be the one giving him the weapons.

"Unlike Juliet,I won't kiss a guy when I don't know their name at all. I won't marry a guy I barely knew for a day. I won't kill myself just cause my husbands killed himself,that's his fault. Therefor I am not Juliet." She replied.

"Good" Shikamaru said. "'Cause I rather not see that beauty be wasted by foolishness on my part,If I ever was Romeo and you are my Juliet. Beside,this is a different story."

"Oh,what story then?"

"Our own story. You hate me,threaten my life. I...well I rather not hitch myself to someone that wants to kill me. But when someone is in love they become foolish and try to pursue the impossible."

"You're not in love with me."

"Yeah,cause you can't make me fall in love with you..." Shikamaru said.

"Challenging me,Nara? Stupid,but deal."

"Heh,you gotta admit it was stupid from the start."

"You're the idiot who accepted it."

"You're the crazy one egging on the idiot."

"Whatever." Temari said and then added,"You're going to lose."

"I know."

Temari was suprised at the admittance.

"But...you know I'm not giving up."

"Why?"

"Cause...just cause. And I think...maybe...some how...well...I'm optimistic."

"Still no date."

"Damn,all that talk and still damned to lose. Troublesome. Wasted. Thanks alot." He said frowning.

"You're welcome Nara."

--Now--

Shikamaru

Shikamaru came home and started writing. He has his own site were he could post stuff and people actually read it. So here he is. For some reason he was very curious on what his readers have to say.

Dear Readers,

My book how to make any woman fall in love with you is just a book. I don't think it could save you from a life and death situation,but if it does then you're welcome. I'm starting this new book due for my editor and publisher stressing me to write. I,being lazy,didn't write. This is how far I've gotten unless you're reading more,then that's how far I've gotten? Moving on,I met this woman today and I saw her again in her own very house. She's different from the other girls,she's a challenge to me. A puzzle my IQ over 200 can't figure out. I wonder what I would get when I'm done with the puzzle. I am going to court her (Why,why,why)and I won't give up. (Hopefully) She had said No (four,I think,not that I was counting and some other variation of saying no) when I asked her out on a date. But I'm very optimistic because I saw angels when it was just me and her.(Yay!) I think...she's very...mhm...those angels are looking after me because

1.I know her phone number.

2.I know where she lives.

I'm creeping myself out,he thought,rereading.

Shikamaru stopped at that and ended it. It was too long for him. He doesn't need to feel them in,in every thing. Does he?

And so he turned off his apple laptop.

Rested his head on the table and then pounded his head against the table. His phone started ringing he reached for it and answered.

"What's with the new post?" Chouji asked.

"No,hello?"

"Hello,Shikamaru. What's with the post? Who's the girl?" He asked.

"Some psycho that hit me with the book and I think I kinda have a crush on her."

"You have a crush on a psycho that hit you with a book that you met today?"

"Yup"

"You sure have weird taste in women. I hope you don't get hurt this time around."

"Ha! No.....I'm not falling in love with some psycho hitting book girl. That's very troublesome and it reminds me of my mother throwing a spatula at my dad." Shikamaru shivered slightly.

"Why are you asking her out?"

"She's a challenge. If I make her fall in love with me,as she says,I can make any girl fall in love with me." Shikamaru said.

"And that's important...?"

"Yes"

"Why?"

"Dunno"

"....Shikamaru..."

"...zzzZzzz..."

"SHIKAMARU!"

"Huh...? What did you say? Food?"

"No. I think you like her."

"No,just a smidge."

"....."

"Something must be wrong with me. How can I have a crush on a girl that will probably kill me? I never thought I'm someone that inflict pain to is too troublesome. I give up."

"That fast?"

"I won't win."

"You gotta win. It's like a girl vs. guy thing you know. Win one for the guys."

--Ehhh--Next Couple of Days-

Temari was sitting in her office,fixing papers and then making a little mini swing out of the paper clip out of boredom. She couldn't wait to get out of this building. She likes it better when she travels around the world. It's less tedious than just sitting down answering phone calls and typing things out.

She hadn't seen Nara for a couple of days now. Maybe he did give up. What a lazy ass. Maybe he realize that he really can't win this.

Her phone started ringing.

"Hello,Sabaku Company-this is Temari speaking."

"I would like to order chowfun and chowmein and..."

"Wrong number,dumb ass."

"Is that how you talk to your customer?"

"You're not buying weaponry,there for you're not a customer. I'm not obliged to talk nicely."

"Tsk,no wonder people thought I'm searching for my own doom by asking your number here in your working place."

"Nara?"

"Eh,yes troublesome woman?"

"Don't Eh,me. What do you want?"

"I hope you know that you have to try to make me fall in love with you as well,like me trying to make you fall in love with me."

"And?"

"Well,don't you think you're losing since you're being such a bxtch?"

"I don't know. Don't some guys like bxtches?"

"It may seem like we do. But we don't. They're scary."

Temari laughed. "I'm scary now huh?"

"I never knew someone so scary can be so attractive." He replied. His voice lacked the sincerity,even though he meant it. He just didn't want Temari to know that.

Temari laughed harder at his attempt,"Boy,you are definitely trying to win this challenge huh?"

"Yeah,well no. But right now I am."

"So you're going to try when you're in the mood? Not good,Nara. It would take you a billion years."

"Argh" He seem to be shuffling something. "You're difficult. Very difficult. It's easier to wave a white flag."

"Do it"

"Nah"

"Again,why?"

"I'm going to wait for that billion years because after that you'll give in and say you have fallen in love with me,of course."

"Dead and Gone Nara,Dead and Gone."

"You have very creative way of saying No to me."

"I'm trying different ways because I'm not sure what you-idiot- would understand."

"Kay,well. How about...yes. I understand yes."

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"No"

"Bye Nara"

"You were suppose to say Yes."

"No"

"Damn!"

Temari smiled. Now that was one of the most fun she had talking on the phone. Nara is not boring,even if he was lazy. One point for him.

How stupid. He really isn't an idiot,huh? He planned my own very challenge. I can't make him fall in love with me if I'm not spending time with him,which means he get to spend time with me so he could try and make me fall in love with him. Stupid,very stupid. But fun. And a must have figured out I don't like to back down from a challenge...

-------

Shikamaru smiled. He doesn't know why but he has alot of energy when it comes to asking her many times. He had never persisted so much in his life and still didn't accomplish it. But he'll continue. She'll eventually have to meet him.

"I got a crush. Just a crush and nothing more."

He would use this experience to write a book. Stupid Editor. Stupid Publisher. Stupid Jiraiya.

------

Shorter than the other one. I have the other chapter ready. I was suppose to update it yesterday but didn't get my time around it. I went to a concert,Sunday-Sarah Geronimo,I must say is very versatile. I'm a big fan. An Actress,Singer and Dancer. Just someone to look upto. I'm listening to her right now,A very special love. People from philippines read this huh...?

Review this Chapter,please. Tell me if I'm going slightly off character with how was the phone conversation? I'm a freshman-I read Romeo and Juliet when I was in 8th grade and I had to revisit them,this year. A tragic that could have been avoided.

Anyone good with geometry? haha....I prefer english over math anyday.

I felt that I am and it seems like that I'm forcing him,Shikamaru, to act himself. I don't know maybe later on I could capture his personality. But with Temari,heh. She's violent,agreed. I like them both together.
