hey, I'm back again, after a while of not doing anything! I've been busy with school and stuff. I'm not quite sure what I'll do with this chapter, but writing as I go along has worked for me so far. this chappie may lean more towards the "M" rated side, because of violence and attempted rape. notice I say attempted, as I wouldn't do that to a character in my fic. writing this has been really fun, so I'm trying to make this, the last chapter, enjoyable and laughable for you all, while still containing some serious undertones. thank you, everyone, and enjoy chapter six.

After their Valentines Day date (or singles' awareness day for those of us-like me- who have no boy/girlfriend), Shikamaru walked home with Temari. When they got to her house, they stopped on her front porch(I am sooo sorry about all the cheesy cliches I use, it's really sad).

"Thanks for a great night, Shika."

Shikamaru smiled at her. "No, thank you."

"No...you."

"You."

"God dammit, Shika, we sound like small children due to the author's apparent inability to write sufficient dialogue."

Shikamaru nodded. "I know exactly what you mean." He pulled her into an embrace, and they made out on the porch swing until Temari's dad came out and yelled at them. He grinned as he waved at Temari, and started to walk back to his house, which was all the way across the city. He started humming "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", not because he was depressed, but it kind of seemed like it fit the mood: him walking home, alone, at night, in the dark, with only streetlights lighting his way(ZOMG watch out for Jack Nicholson dude! XP).

As he turned a corner two blocks from his house, he was met with a familiar sight: the Leaf Boys, minus one(if you must know, it was naruto). He sighed as he asked himself when they would stop bothering him. As they barred his path along the sidewalk, he decided to run across the street to the other side, and continue running all the way home, as he didn't want to get into another fight. He began running, but was not chased.

"Strange," he thought, "Why aren't they following me?"

His question was soon answered with the roar of a large truck-heading straight for him! He managed to get a glimpse of the driver-a shock of messy blonde hair-before he dived out of the way, narrowly avoiding being run over. He hit the asphalt hard, then got up and ran away faster than he had ever run in his life. There was no question in his mind now: the Leaf Boys were out to kill him.

"Fuck," said Kiba, "I knew Naruto would screw up. Looks like we have to resort to 'Plan B', boys."

"...There's a plan b?!" Neji exclaimed.

"News to me," said Sasuke, "I thought we were just going to run over him and claim it was an accident."

"Look, just shut the fuck up. There's a plan b now, anyways. I'll take care of this one, I won't need you guys." Kiba replied.

"Okay".

At the end of the year, in June...(yeah, it took Kiba a long time to plan out "Plan B")

It was the last day of school. Those students that we going away for the summer were saying their goodbyes to their friends, the Leaf Boys were giving a concert, and there was a generally cheery atmosphere. Shikamaru and Temari went to the concert because the other band playing was the Dropkick Murphys, who seemed annoyed that a band of 16-year olds were getting more cheers than them(the luck of the Irish wasn't strong that day).

"I'll go get us some soda." said Shikamaru.

"Sure, make mine a Dr. Pepsi." (no, not a typo. it's a tribute to a friend of mine)

Shikamaru walked off while Temari sat down against a tree in the park. The concert had gone late into the night, so it was dark, and not many people were around(ZOMG beware of Jack Nicholson!...ok, I reallyneed to stop that...or at least watched "Alice in Wonderland" instead of "The Shining" last night). Suddenly, she heard footsteps pounding toward her. Reaching into her bag for bear mace(hehehehe), she sprung up and sprayed it in her assailant's(neji's eyes). He fell over, clawing at his face(I say clawing at his face because I'm not quite sure what one's reaction is when they get a face full of bear mace. I imagine it might vary from person to person).

Too late, she noticed more footsteps coming from behind her. She didn't have enough time to retaliate with the bear mace, as a cloth dampened with chloroform covered her nose and mouth, and she fell unconscious.

Shikamaru came back to where he had left Temari, and instantly noticed something was wrong, due to the fact that Neji was rolling aroung on the ground with bear mace on his face, and Temari's bag was lying abandoned on the ground. He quickly whipped out his cell phone and called Chouji.

"Chouji. It's Shikamaru."

"Oh shit, dude! I just saw Kiba running toward the abandoned warehouse on East 12th Street!" said Chouji(another cliche, along with a Green Day reference...I am sad).

"K, thanks." He hung up, and started running. He didn't know what Kiba would do to her, but he assumed the worst.

Kiba chuckled as he bound Temari's limbs with rope. She struggled to break free, but the knots were tight.

"And, now, princess," said Kiba, "Let the fun begin."

10 minutes earlier...

As Shikamaru ran through the streets, all he could think of was how much he hated Kiba. He passed East 18th Street. He was getting close. At this point, the author decided that Shikamaru should be wearing a black trenchcoat, because he imagines that Shika would look seriously badass with a black trenchcoat flapping out behind him as he ran. So, suddenly, Shikamaru had a black trenchcoat on.

"The fuck?" he thought to himself. "Oh well. I don't see any reason to argue this, as I look extremely badass."

He finally spotted the abandoned warehouse, and hoped he wasn't too late. He ran up to the door, and, discovering that it was locked, swore loudly and attempted to break the door down.

BANG!

BANG!

CRASH!!!

He rushed in, to discover Kiba standing over Temari, gloating and on the verge of removing his shirt. Kiba noticed him and swore loudly. Shikamaru threw aside his trenchcoat and charged Kiba, filled with rage. He knew he had saved Temari, but he still wanted to make Kiba pay.

Kiba got into a ready position as Shikamaru charged at him(now, if this were a perfect world, Shikamaru would take out a lightsaber and slice Kiba's head off, but sadly, that won't happen. sorry). Shikamaru reached him, and threw a punch at Kiba's stomach, but Kiba dodged it and kicked Shikamaru's feet out from under him. Shika landed hard on the concrete, and quickly rolled to the side as Kiba attempted to step on his face.

He got up, and charged again at Kiba. This time, Kiba was still recovering from his last attack, and, surprised by the speed of Shikamaru, was caught off-guard. Shikamaru punched him hard in the jaw, and Kiba went down like an elbowed soccer player. Kiba got back to his feet, and, grabbing Shikamaru's shoulder, shoved him up against the wall. He began punching Shikamaru with one hand, while pinning his neck to the wall with his other arm.

Shika wasn't pinned for long, as both of his arms were free. He kneed Kiba in the groin, and forced him away. Kiba doubled over, but got back up quickly when he heard the sound of sirens, about 4 blocks away. He punched Shika in the face, and then made a mad dash for the door. Shikamaru recovered, but Kiba was almost at the door. He swore, and began chase. Just as Kiba reached the door, it was thrown open with such force that it hit Kiba full in the face and he was knocked to the ground.

Shikamaru recognized the silhouette standing in the doorway, and grinned. Chouji had saved the day(Woot!). He instantly remembered that Chouji's dad was the police Chief, and realized Chouji must have told him about Kiba.

Several police officers grabbed Kiba, who was now unconscious, and hauled him into a police car and drove away. Shikamaru ran over to Temari, and quickly undid her bonds. She collapsed onto him, sobbing. He held her tight and cried as well.

"It's going to be okay, Tema. It's going to be okay." he said, stroking her hair. They sat there for an hour, holding each other until each of them stopped crying. They then fell back on the floor, lying next to each other.

Shikamaru turned to Temari. "Hey, you ok?"

She smiled, and nodded. "I think so."

"In that case, race you to the ice cream shop? Or would you rather I carry you?"

She punched him playfully. "You have no chance of winning, moron."

They raced off to get ice cream, laughing all the way.
