ACGOMN: Okay now it's time for Shikamaru and Temari chapter.

I don't own Naruto or any of its characters.

One Shot 2

Lazy

Nara Shikamaru grumbled. He hated the hot weather. Currently he was in Suna, he had to bring one of Konoha's officials to Suna to talk to the Kazekage. Temari had told Shikamaru that he could stay with her and her brothers. It's better than a hotel. Gaara was barely around, Kankurou mostly stayed in his room, unless for meals or missions. Kankurou was quiet nasty to Shikamaru after Temari left to go wait for someone else.

"Okay, okay you don't have to show me the place," said Shikamaru, avoiding the older's boys glare. Shikamaru didn't know what he did wrong. Crap, he needed the bathroom.

"Oi, Temari where's the bathroom," asked Shikamaru.

"Hey Shikamaru I didn't know you were in Suna," exclaimed the ever hyperactive Naruto.

"I didn't know you were here either," said Shikamaru, somewhat pleased that he was in one piece. "A, Temari bathroom please?"

"Didn't Kankurou show you around," asked an irate Temari, pointed to the first door on the right on the first floor.

"No, I don't need one. I'm leaving tomorrow," said Shikamaru, stalking off to the bathroom.

After a pleasant dinner with the Sand siblings and Naruto, Shikamaru really wanted to go to sleep, but couldn't. Shikamaru sighed, what the hell was wrong with him? Maybe it was because he was leaving in the morning. He got up and went to the kitchen, maybe some warm milk.

"Oi, crybaby," said Temari, "Can't sleep can you?"

"What about you," asked Shikamaru.

"Gaara will be home soon and he likes to eat when he gets here," said Temari, "I just have to make something that he can heat up."

"Man, I was I had a sister to do all that stuff for me," complained Shikamaru, wondering why his father and mother couldn't have given him an older sibling.

"Yeah, so you can be more lazy," said Temari, "Gaara can't cook to save his life. Plus I don't do things like this for Kankurou."

"Don't you do their laundry, clean their rooms and the rest of the house, plus cooking," asked Shikamaru.

"It's my job I suppose," said Temari.

"Your brothers are becoming dependant on you. What are they going to do when you get married," asked Shikamaru.

"When I get married Shika?"

"Uh, yeah," said Shikamaru, wondering why the hell he had to phrase that question like that. But if I said if I be in bigger trouble now.

"Does that mean you think I'm wife material," asked Temari.

"Uh, yeah."

"And this is coming from the crybaby. You know my brother's won't let any boys near me."

"What about me and Naruto, aren't we boys?"

"One, Naruto is not interested in me," said Temari, "And they do mind you here. I just made them let you stay here."

"I see," said Shikamaru, "Good night." Shikamaru stood up and was about to go back to his room to catch some shut eye.

"Oi, Shika," said Temari, handing him a glass of warm milk.

"Thanks," said Shikamaru.

"No problem."


The following day, the sand siblings and Naruto were seeing Shikamaru off. Naruto was saying to tell everyone hi for him. Gaara and Kankurou both shook Shikamaru's hand. He thinks that they intended to crush his hand. Time to say good bye to Temari.

"Later, you troublesome woman," said Shikamaru.

"Oi, crybaby don't cry too much while I'm not there," said Temari, mockingly. Shikamaru slightly glared at her and vice versa. However, Shikamaru was getting the feeling that Gaara was watching them. I don't see why they don't like me. I never did anything to them.

"Bye, Shikamaru," said Temari and Naruto. Gaara grunted and Kankurou waved him off. Glad to know that not everybody hated him.


"Shikamaru," said the Godaime Hokage.

"Hai," answered Shikamaru.

"Please go to the front gate to escort Temari here," said Tsunade.

"Hai," said Shikamaru. She woke him up just to go pick up that girl. Troublesome women. He walked to the front gate of the village to meet with Temari.

"You're late," said Temari.

"Yeah, yeah," said Shikamaru. It was normal thing. Whenever Temari came to Konoha, he would be late she would be pissed off. Once they got to the Hokage Tower, and after Temari spoke with the Godaime they would wander around the village. Sometimes he would bring her to his house, to get food.

Today was not one of those days. Today, Temari wanted to go to Ichiraku since she heard so much about it from Naruto and Chouji.

"Fine," said Shikamaru. Then he remembered that his father ordered something from the Yamanaka Flower Shop for his mother that he wanted Shikamaru to go get them. "But first we have to stop at Yamanaka's to pick up something then to my place to drop it off."

"Alright," said Temari. At the Yamanaka shop, Ino was manning the store today. She was thrilled to see Temari with Shikamaru.

"Hello, Temari," said Ino, "Hey, Shika. You need those flowers your father ordered right?"

"Yeah," said Shikamaru.

"Okay, here you go," said Ino, getting the bouquet of flowers. Then she whispered to Shika, "You should get Temari something." Shikamaru glared at her.

"Why," asked Shika.

"Duh, baka," said Ino, pointing at Temari who was looking at some sand lilies. Shikamaru sighed.

"I'll pick a few up later," said Shika. Ino glared at him. That look said NOW. Shikamaru sighed.

"Oi, Temari," said Shikamaru, "get a few of those I'll pay for them."

"Er, thanks," replied Temari, taking three flowers. After he paid for that and the flowers for his mom, they drop them off at his house.

"Oh hoho," said Shikaku, "I didn't know my boy had an older girlfriend."

"She's not my girlfriend," said Shikamaru.

"Yeah, and I said the same thing about your mother years ago," said his father.

"Whatever," said Shikamaru, going back to Temari. After they ate at Ichiraku, he was officially broke.

"So was this like an unofficial date," asked Temari.

"Eh? What," asked Shikamaru, beginning to blush.

"Oh nothing," said Temari, somewhat disappointed. Shikamaru noticing that, sighed slightly.

"But I suppose we could call it that," said Shika. It was Temari's turn to blush. Then they both spotted Naruto.

"Well if it isn't Naruto," said Shikamaru.

"Hey Shika, Temari. Are you guys on a date?"

"No, why would I want to date such a crybaby."

"I wouldn't want to date such a troublesome woman."

"Alright, alright don't bite my head off," said Naruto, laughing.

"First Ino, then my dad, now Naruto," grumbled Shikamaru.

"What was that," asked Temari.

"Oh nothing," said Shikamaru. Temari looked at him then shook it off. Oh well, their day was alright until now.


It was during Naruto's birthday party, when Shikamaru beat that Akira guy at shogi. Shikamaru watched everyone. Naruto met some weird people on his joruney. Shikamaru saw Gaara playing with one of those babies that come. Wait Gaara, THE Gaara playing with an infant.

"Surprising isn't it," asked Temari.

"I didn't know Gaara liked babies," said Shikamaru.

"He tends to have a fondness for them," said Temari.

"Hey how long are you Konoha for," asked Shikamaru.

"Till the day after tomorrow," said Temari.

"Do you want to go out on a date," asked Shikamaru.

"Really?"

"Yeah, so what do you say."

"Sure," said Temari.

"Good," said Shikamaru, wondering why the hell he just asked that troublesome woman out. Unfortunately for Shikamaru, Kankurou overheard. Time for Shika to deal with some over protective brothers. Of course tomorrow that is.


Shikamaru sat in the hotel room that Temari shared with her brothers. Since, Gaara was Kazekage it was one of the best hotels in Konoha. Gaara and Kankurou sat staring intently at Shikamaru.

"What are your intentions with my sister," asked Kankurou.

"I intend to take her out to eat, then I'll bring her back," answered Shika, trying not to be intimidating by them.

"If you hurt her, I will kill you," said Gaara. "But remember she's ours right now."

"Ah," said Shikamaru.

"Glad we understand each other," said Kankurou. Man, Shikamaru was crazy for wanting to date a girl with crazy younger brothers. Oh well, at least Gaara won't be on his case much since hopefully he would be occupied by that Miki girl. Kankurou he can deal with, without dying.

"Oi, Shikamaru are you ready," said Temari, watching her brothers. No blood, good.

"Let's go," said Shikamaru. Both left leaving the two younger brothers of Temari alone.

"You do realize that she's going to leave us for him," said Kankurou.

"I'm not worried about it. Shikamaru is a good guy," said Gaara.


ACGOMN: Er, yeah. Next is Shino and Hoku.
