Disclaimer: I do no own Temari or Shikamaru If I did the world would end.
Temari woke early the next morning and lay in the bed pondering yesterdays events. She got up, went into the bathroom, and stared at herself in the mirror. Looking at her messy hair she decided to take a shower.
She grabbed her clothes, locked the door, and turned on the hot water.
Shikamaru was already in the kitchen cooking breakfast when he heard someone running water upstairs. Then he remembered that Shizune had made him house Temari for an important mission.
He knew this would happen as soon as he found out Temari and her brother Kankuro were coming, but he expected Kankuro to stay here too. He decided that this was Tsunade's fault and that she had planned this the whole time.
She stepped out of the shower and put on her clothes, then she put her hair up in the usual four ponytails. After she did this she decided to go down stairs to make Shikamaru's life more of a hell than it already was.
Temari walked out of the room and headed downstairs into the living room where she saw Shikamaru sitting down in the kitchen.
She looked at him with utmost curiosity because he was so lazy with absolutely no motivation, other than the clouds; she thought he would still be sleeping in his room.
This fact struck Temari with so much curiosity that she decided to sit down next to him and watch him all day.
Shikamaru felt Temari sit down next to him and what's worse he could feel the brutal woman's piercing gaze as if she was reading his every thought and movement like he were some foreign creature she had never seen before.
He decided to get up and walk away to his room as if she were never there, but as he got up she did to and when he went toward the staircase she followed like a lost dog in a room full of wolves.
This scared him out of his mind so he turned to her and said "If you are hungry there is breakfast on the stove and if you don't want that then find something you do want and get it." What scared him the most was when she replied to this by saying "Oh no thanks I'm not hungry"
This frustrated him beyond belief because he could not figure out why she was following his every move.
Temari thought the noises he kept making were funny, though she knew he didn't think this was funny at all. She knew she was putting herself in a bad place when she made his life a living hell its just that doing this felt like something she had to do.
Temari also knew that if she wanted him to continue being her friend she needed to stop getting on his nerves but he was almost the only person who ever really paid any attention to her. Which made her feel noticed for once in her life as more than just the strongest kunoichi but as a person.
Shikamaru was really getting annoyed by no but as if a sign from the powers that be the maniacal sand kunoichi turned her back and left him go his way. So he just went upstairs to that library room to get his family book and take it to the room he uses when he doesn't want to be bothered. This room just so happens to be another secret room and the best thing about it is that it can only be opened by someone from the Nara clan.
He walked over to the smallest bookshelf, pushed it over and opened a large panel in the wall. He took his hand and cut it open with a kunai and placed it on a small pad inside the panel, then he took a key and put it into a slot next to his hand. After that he punched in a code on a keypad written in brail.
A few seconds later a door opened up in the floor also with a set of stairs leading into and underground labyrinth filled with many more secret doors including the one Temari had found earlier.
He walked down the dark hallway past a bright room where he kept a deer pen that he used to raise deer for medicine in spite of the one his parents kept. The thing is they had no idea he had any of this and maybe it was for the best. Come to think of it no one knew about his labyrinth except Temari but he doesn't know that.
Temari went back up to her room and sat down on the bed. She began to think about the way Shikamaru had been acting lately and it didn't make any sense. He had never acted like this before. Normally when she aggravated him he would tell her she was troublesome and would ignore it for the rest of the day and that was about it.
Temari was bored and didn't handle that very well so she went around Shikamaru's house looking for something to do and when she couldn't find any thing she decide to look for him.
About twenty minutes past and she still couldn't find him though she knew he couldn't leave his house with her in it. So she decided to go find that secret door in the kitchen an explore it.
She went down to the kitchen and pulled at the lever thingy and it but it wouldn't open which she thought to be strange and a few minutes past as she tried to open it up but still it wouldn't reveal itself to her.
Shikamaru returned from the library after she gave up trying to open the door in the kitchen. He walked toward the front door, then he turned toward Temari and said "I will be leaving for a while and I still have to wait for the broken window depot people to come install my new window so would you stay and watch for them while I go on some errands?"
Temari nodded her head and watched him walk out the door noticing how swiftly he moved when he walked which made her blush and then turn away toward the kitchen to try her luck at that door again.
She pulled the lever once more and this time the door opened allowing her to move down the steps and then the door closed behind her and everything was dark.
Temari pulled out a lighter, only heaven knows where she got that from, and found a torch which she thought was a strange thing to have in ones basement, which is what she thought this was after a few minutes and some logical thinking. She found a light switch on a wall and flipped it on, then she put out the torch and set it down where she got it.
She was flabbergast as she saw a room full of medicines and old books on ancient Nara remedies and antidotes. She saw that this was not the only room so she wandered around the chamber only to find a whole underground sanctuary full of plants and deer, rabbits and foxes almost every thing a highly trained medical ninja would need and more.
The idea of Nara Shikamaru being able to accomplish such a tremendous responsibility much less afford to pay expenses bewildered her beyond extent. Temari had no idea that the lazy ninja would take the time to do this which made her think of how lucky she was to have been able to stay in his house, even though her own brother was the Kazekage and he had shukaku stolen from him a long time ago she felt it was a privilege to be his friend.
Temari now thought she understood why he has had such a change in the way he did things and she liked the new mature version of Shikamaru it never ceased to fascinate her.
Shikamaru had also noticed a change in Temari since yesterday when she arrived. He perceived her to be more womanly and slightly less violent toward him. He also regarded her more as a woman than when they first met three years ago during the chuunin exams when she was just some girl who scared him more than his mother. In a way she still scared him more than his mother and this was a great accomplishment since just about everyone was afraid of Nara Yoshino.
He really wasn't doing anything that had to do with errands he just wanted time to get out of his house and think with fresh air and clouds to make things easier for him.
Temari heard a knocking on the door so she found the way out after figuring how to reopen the door and closed the passageway back up to go see who was knocking.
She opened the door and found the window installers standing there with a new window ready for placement.
Then she noticed that one of those installers was Naruto and to her surprise right behind him was Uchiha Itachi. She let them in and led them to the spot where the window had been busted out and watched them get to work.
When they were finished Itachi left and Naruto followed but as he walked past the door he whispered in her ear "You have to help me. Itachi keeps raping me and nobody will believe me when I tell them. Also Sakura keeps beating me to oblivion whenever she hears me say that because she loves her Itachi puppet.
Temari made a strange face of disgust and then tried to keep from laughing at Naruto in his weak idiotic state. After they left she felt tired and fell asleep on the couch.

P.S. My friend Kelsey told me to put some Naruto and Itachi rape in there because she thinks it's funny.
