"Where are we going now?" Temari asked the Nara. Shikamaru groaned a bit.

"We were going to breakfast at the ramen shop, but ever since I saw Ayame "having fun", I decided to pass on that place." Shikamaru told her.

Temari laughed a bit. The sun's rays were nice and warm. Even Shikamaru had to admit; he was having a good time so far.

The two went to the "Breakfast Bar". It was a small little place that had great breakfast, for a great price.

Temari chose a seat, right next to the window, because she wanted everyone to see HER being escorted by Shikamaru.

The waiter walked over to the young ninjas. "Hey guys, my name is Steve, and I'll be your host for today, okay?" he asked.

Temari tried to be all "polite" by smiling, but she really was getting irritated by the man's "cheery" nature. Wow is he so happy in the morning? she asked herself.

"Yes, umm... I will be having the breakfast salad with dressing and a cup of orange juice." she smiled.

Steve nodded and wrote it down. "And you, sir?" he asked. Shikamaru looked at his menu. "I'll have the breakfast burrito, with orange juice, thanks." he said. The waiter nodded. "I'll have your food ready, as well as your orange juices done in a sec, thanks for eating at the Breakfast Bar." the waiter said.

"So, when are we going on this huge mission anyway?" Shikamaru asked. Temari sighed. "We still have about 2 weeks, let me enjoy my stay here." she said.

Shikamaru rolled his eyes. Temari relaxed her head against the window. "What ever happened to Kankuro, anyway?" Shikamaru asked.

Temari shrugged, a feeling a little bad because she made a big scene over something so small like a little fight they had.

"I hope he doesn't get into any trouble." Shikamaru exhaled. Temari nodded. "He's probably trying to meet some women, unless he's already with a new girlfriend."

Shikamaru lit his cigarette. "So, what is this mission about, anyway?" he asked the Sabuka.

Temari sat up straight. "Well, to be honest, I'm a little confused with it myself. You see, when Kankuro and Gaara came here a few weeks ago, before my stay here, they concluded that they found some sort of "den". They also said that there were thieves there that had stolen some scrolls, one of which had a large, red marking on the outside." Temari explained.

Shikamaru nodded. "So, why don't they send more ninja than just us?" he asked. Temari shrugged again. "I don't know, that's one question I cannot answer." she said truthfully.

Shikamaru sighed, as he looked over to see the chef's cooking smoke burritos. One of them is mine... he thought, eagerly waiting for his food.

The minutes went by, and finally, their orange juice arrived. "Here we go guys... Two freshly squeezed orange juices, and your breakfast will be here soon."

Shikamaru took his, not acknowledging the waiter, however, Temari had to smile and sip hers slowly.

Shikamaru finished his quickly, but Temari took her time, enjoying the taste. "This juice is fantastic!" Temari smiled. Shikamaru rolled his eyes, again. Temari was always trying to start a boring conversation with him.

After a few more minutes, their food arrived. "About time..." Shikamaru said aloud. The waiter gave him a dirty look, but was happy when Temari thanked him with a smile.

The two began to eat their food. As always, Shikamaru finished his quickly, while Temari took her time.

"Ahhh. That was good." Shikamaru grunted as he laid back. Temari didn't even finish her drink when Shikamaru began to feel annoyed. "Are you almost done?" he asked. Temari giggled. "Not even close Nara." Shikamaru groaned. How troublesome he thought as he closed his eyes to sleep.
