Shikamaru felt something heavy on his chest so he opened his eyes and saw the sand kunoichi sitting on him but he wasn't at home he was laying in his favorite cloud gazing spot. After he had left Asuma's grave he went to gaze at the clouds, but he noticed that the sky was dark and all he could see were black clouds that signified rain was coming soon.
Temari lifted herself from him and said "If you don't want to get wet then you'd better get up because it should start raining soon and it will be heavy from the looks of the clouds."
After she said this the rain began to fall heavily just as she predicted.--- Back in Suna the kazekage was sending a letter using the fastest courier, a courier is a ninja mailman they are pretty fast and can get stuff delivered better than an average mailman, he should arrive in Konoha in an hour at most.
Shikamaru got up and the two of them ran into his house only she was soaking wet and he wasn't because he ran in front of her. Temari wasn't used to the rain because it hardly even rained in Suna and when it did and when it did she was always away on missions so she never really experienced the rain. She mainly didn't like it because it was cold but they other reason was that she had to use rain as an excuse to make him get up.
The worst part about it was that she had only brought two pairs of cloths and one was in the laundry not yet clean and she was wearing the other one.
Shikamaru looked at Temari's shivering body, then directed his attention to her face so she wouldn't notice him staring and get the wrong idea.
"Hurry up and go change cloths before you leave watermarks on my floor" he told her.
She put on the goofiest face she could manage and said "I don't have any other pairs of clothing because I only brought only two pairs and my backup is in your laundry hamper and is yet to be washed."
"I don't think I have any clothes for you to wear, but I don't want you to get my floor wet and leave water stains, or run around my house naked and my mother walk in and see this then beat the shit out of me either." Shikamaru said wincing at the thought of his mom.
Not knowing what to do he groaned and walked upstairs to his room to see if he actually had anything she could wear so as not to get on his nerves with her complaining about the cold.
He rummaged through all of his drawers but he could only find a vest and he didn't want her to wear that so he went down stairs and told her he couldn't find a thing he thought she could wear and told her to follow him into the library room.
He opened the door in the floor and began to walk down it, all the while beckoning her to follow.
He took her to the forest where he told her to stay until he washed her clothes which would take him about an hour and a half, and then he left her down in the forest by her self and freezing cold.
He placed her clothes into his washing machine, pulled a knob and the water turned on, and then he added the detergent, set the timer and closed the lid.
He sat down on the couch and decided to take a nap until the clothes were done washing. Before it even felt like he had begun to sleep the timer went off so he got up and put the clothes in the dryer and added a fabric softening sheet.
As soon as he sat back down someone knocked on the door. He opened it and saw granny Tsunade standing there with and urgent look on her face then she opened her mouth and said "Where is Temari? I have urgent matters to discuss with her."
Shikamaru nodded and led her to the libraries secret entrance but before he opened the door he turned to Tsunade.
"If I am to let you down here you cannot tell anybody including Ino and Chouji about the things you see because nobody was supposed to know about I in the fist place and it was you who made me show Temari so you must promise not to tell a soul about my labyrinth" Shikamaru exclaimed seriously.
He took Tsunade to the forest inside the labyrinth even though she never agreed to what he said but when they got there he couldn't see Temari any where.
A few minutes later she came out of the woods with a red nose and began sneezing and shivering violently.
Tsunade looked at Shikamaru with a look that was to Shikamaru saying "Oh my god what the hell did you do to her you pig bastard" but she didn't say anything and just waved him off out of the room.
Then she told Temari about the letter she received from the Kazekage about 15 minutes ago and allowed her to read some of it. Temari read the letter and chocked when she got to the part about an arranged marriage and depending on who was chosen for konoha she would be the one getting married.
When Tsunade was finished Shikamaru came back with Temari's newly dried clothing and a thermometer. Tsunade left the room and the two of them followed.
After Tsunade left He made Temari go to her room and change clothes then come back down and check her damn temperature even though it was pretty much his fault she was getting sick in the middle of summer in the first place.
As it turns out her temp was 103 degrees and she appeared to be dizzy and kept sneezing all over the place. Shikamaru made her go up to her room and rest while her called a medical ninja to find out what the hell he had gotten her sick with.
A medical ninja arrived less than two minutes after he called and went up to examine the sickly kunoichi. He stood there and watched the ninja examine her, all the while hoping she was only pretending to be sick so he wouldn't have to take care of her.
The medical ninja turned and said "She has Typhoid fever which is abnormally high body temperature accompanied by shivering, headaches, and increased pulse rate. This is common in the rainy seasons. It can be treated but just because the symptoms are gone doesn't mean the fever is. You need to watch her carefully and inject her with this antibiotic twice a day. Once in the morning and once during the afternoon until the fever has been dead for about a week or two. Recovery takes about three weeks so use the anti biotic wisely." Then he headed for the door but turned around and said "I wouldn't tell Gaara about this if I were you because he may seem pretty pissed if you make his sister get sick."
Then he finally turned and left.
