Once Again Shikamaru Found Himself Laying Down In The Same Hill. At The Same Time. In The Same Position As Always. Although, He Wasn't Thinking About Cotton Cloud's Or Sleeping. He Was Thinking About That Troublesome Hag. Temari. He Tried Not To Think About Her Or The Day Before But That Didn't Work. He Wandered What Happened. Well, He Really Wasn't Wondering, He'd Just Have To Ask Her. He Was Thinking About Her. The Last Time He Saw Her Was About A Year Ago And He Must Say.. She Changed, A Lot. He Let A Sigh Of Frustration Out, Because He Simply Couldn't Get Her Out Of His Mind!

Maybe It Wasn't So Bad? He Just Closed His Eyes, Picturing The Day Before. God, She Changed So Much. Temari, Wasn't Dressed In The Same Way As Always's. This Time She Was Dressed In A Long Sleeve Black Dress That Ended At Her Ankles. It Had A Split Up Both Side's That Landed About Six Inches From Her Waist.. Did He Mention It Was Heavenly Hugging Her Curves? Shikamaru Mentally Slapped Himself For Even Looking At Such Thing's. (Her Hair Was Done The Same As Always.)

"At Least I'm Taller Then Temari.." He Said To Himself Smirking Because Over The Year He Grew About A Good Four Or So Inches Taller Then Her.

"Taller Or Not I Can Still Beat You, Baka" Temari's Voice Said From Behind Him Which Made Him Jump And Her Laugh.

"Stop Sneaking Up On Me Troublesome Women!"

"Stop Being Such A Bitch Pineapple Head!"

"Hpmh!" Shikamaru Laid Back, His Hands Locked Under His Head. "Sit."

"No."

"Now Or I'll Do It For You."

Temari Hesitated Before Taking A Seat She Wasn't About To Let Herself Get Taken Over. She Looked Over At Shikamaru Who Was Studying Her, Hesitantly. "It's Okay.. I Wasn't Feeling Like Myself.." She Said Knowing What Shikamaru Had To Ask. Beside's It Was Kind Of Rude To Say Such A Thing, Playing Or Not.

"I'm Sorry I Didn't Mean To Say What I Said. Or Do What Upsets You, Temari."

" I Know Baka.." Temari Said "You Look Sad Don't Start Crying Now.."

"GAH! Here You Go Again! This Is Why I Hate Women! So Damn Troublesome!"

Temari Smirked. "Then You Must Be Gay.."

"No,No,No!! That's Not What I Said! I Didn't Mean-It Just-How Could-" He Stuttered Face Crimson Red, Only Temari Did This To Him. It Was Embarrassing! 'And To Think I Missed Her! What A Drag!' He Thought. No One Else Could Make The Genius Stutter Over His Damn Words. Except Her.

She Really Was Feeling Better. Here In Konoha Was Just A Matter Of Smiles And Laughter. No One Looking At Her Rudely Or Pretending To Be Her Friend. These People Truly Where Her Friends. She Felt Safe To Smile And Laugh, To Play And Learn, And.. To Care For Somebody And Know They Care About Her As Well. "suna Is All Work, And Business.." She Said Out Loud Forgetting About Shikamaru And All.

"That's Why You Have So Much Fun Here, I'm Guessing.." Shikamaru Said. Temari Looked At Him He Was Gazing At The Sky. Thinking..Probably.

"Yeah.."

"Your Like... Fully Alive." Shikamaru Smirked.

"..Stupid."

" I Mean Your Always Ready To Smile And Prove Yourself To The World No Matter What. It-"

"I'm Not Naruto."

"Let Me Finish Will Ya?"

"No.. Because It's Pointless."

"You Seem So Perfect By Nature Almost So Tha-"

"Shut The Hell Up Nara Before I Blow Your Head Off!" Temari Growled.

Shikamaru Fell Into Silence. 'Fine I Was Only Explaining How Much I Admire Your Ways.' He Thought 'Wait! I Would Never Dare Reveal That To That Hag!' He Thought Yet Again Mentally Slapping Himself.

"Hey Before I Forget! The Girls And I Are Planning A Party Today Around 8. We Each Have To Get Supplies And Make-up And Invite A Male. So That He Could Tell Us How To Transform The Person Who Had Invited Him.. I Was Planning To Invite Gaara But Both Him And Your Hokagaze Are Drop-dead-busy... Soo.. Um, Will You Go With Me."

"You Mean As Your Date?" Shikamaru Questioned.

Temari Never Really Thought About That. She Remembered That Tenten Is Bringing Neji -The Love Of Her Life-, Sakura And Sasuke, Naruto And Hinata, Ino And Kiba... And Lee Without No One He Was Just Helping The Females.. It Really Was Like A Date Party. Her Cheeks Redden At The Thought.

"Ha! Your Blushing!" Shikamaru Smirked And Quickly Took Out A Camera And Captured A Picture Of The Blushing Temari.

"Hey-No-Give Me That!!" She Yelled Getting Up On Her Knees While Leaning Forward To Get The Camera.

Shikamaru Moved Over To His Left Away From Her, Smirking As She Lost Her Balance And Fell Over Her "asswipe!" She Said Sitting Up And Reaching Over To Where Her Fan Normally Was... She Reached Air. 'crap!' She Thought Remembering That Gaara Had Her Fan Because He Saw No Need To Carry Such A Thing While Here.

Temari Slapped The Camera From His Hands And It Flew Across The Field. She Quickly Got Up To Get It But Shikamaru Got Her Leg And She Fell On Her Knee's "No! You Cant Do That!" She Yelled A Him As He Got A Head Start To The Camera. She Got Up Running Towards Him She Put A Hand On His Shoulders And Jumped. Jumping Over Him In A Flip She Grabbed The Camera.

"That's My Camera, Women!"

"That's My Picture!"

Shikamaru Did His Shadow Possession, And Got The Camera Back. As Soon As It Broke Temari Ran His Way, He Backed Up.. Against A Tree.

"Now I Got You.." She Said Grinning Evilly Before Moving Forward Really Close To Him. He Could Feel Her Breath Hard, Breathe Tickling His Neck.

"Oh Boy"

"Temari Stop Trying To Murder The Boy And Let's Go! Tenten And Sakura Are On The Way!" Ino's Voice Was Heard From Nearby.

"My Hero.." Shikamaru Muttered Stepping Away From The Deadly Female. "Yes, Its Getting Late Temari!" He Said Shifting A Yawn.

"This Isn't Over Baka!" Temari Said Before Walking Off. Grining Because Of There Moment Of Childness. Stupid Shikamaru..

"Hey Women!"

Temari Turned Around.

"Ill Go With You..." Shikamaru Said Grinning."But Not After I Process This Little Picture."

There Yall Go!
