Thanks to Asuma1, Kane-the-Warrior, and FoXySlY for reviewing chapter 8.

Shikamaru heard another knock on the door so he left Temari and went to answer the door. When he opened it he saw His mother, to his fear, and Sakura standing there on the steps. Immediately his mom beat him across the head with her hand and began yelling but it was hard to make out what she was saying, then she pushed herself passed him through to the inside of the living room.

She turned to her son once in the room and screamed "How could you get the Kazekage's sister sick in such a condition. You idiot if they find out what do you think they will do to you. I should make you suffer uncontrollably until she is better but I think taking care of her would be worse considering that she and I are very much alike she should put you through a living hell, and I hope she does even if it's unintentional."

Temari felt a sharp pain in her stomach as she herd someone downstairs screaming and she thought it was Shikamaru's mom but she was in a lot of pain and her head began to ache terribly.

Temari saw Sakura staring at her in the doorway; she watched her as she came up and placed a hand over her forehead. Sakura's eyes became wide and she ran out of the room. At this time Temari was experiencing repeated jolts of pain in her abdomen and her head was pulsing in agony she thought she was going to die.

Shikamaru and his mother watched Sakura run back down the stairs and ask if they had any pain killers or fever reducers. Shikamaru pointed to a drawer and resumed listening to his mom yell at him and complain about how much of a screw up he really is.

Meanwhile at Amber's home in Sunagakure

Amber was attempting to make her mother's chicken casserole but she gave up when someone knocked on her front door. She often attempted to cook this because it was really good and she probably could eat the whole thing by herself if she had enough confidence to make it.

She opened the door and looked up into the half covered face of Baki. She had to look up to see his face because she was only 5.1 ft which ironically is the same height as me and unfortunately I will only reach 5.2 or 5.3 which really sucks.

"Kazekage sama wishes to see you in his office for a mission immediately" he said in the most professional voice he could manage.

All Amber did was nod her had and walk out the door in silence which caused Baki to stare blankly and the spot she had just been in, then he closed her door because she tends to leave things open or forget to do things when she is focusing to hard.

Gaara sat in his office wondering what was taking Baki so long, all he had to do was retrieve her and head back as fast as he could. In truth it had only been five minutes but I guess Gaara is just as impatient as Amber.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door and Baki followed by Amber entered the office and stood before Gaara's desk which was conveniently located farthest away from any windows or doors so nobody could see or here them talking without actually being in the room.

"Your mission will begin tomorrow morning Baki will escort you there so I want you to be at the gate by 5:30 a.m. and if you are wondering why I am having you escorted its because I believe we are being watched by spies for Kirigakure and Otagakure.

Amber just nodded without making eye contact and looking everywhere but at Gaara's face. She normally made eye contact but she just couldn't bring herself to look at his face maybe it was because he was trying to help her or maybe it was something else.

Then Gaara waved Baki out of the room and the two were alone again for the second time. This made Amber uneasy she thought to her self "Why can't he just let someone know about the strange incident in Konoha. It wasn't like she wasn't going to lose her job anyway.

"I've been asking around and nobody seems to think you even exist. Are you sure someone is posing as you or did you really do all that strange stuff in the letter?" Gaara said unsure of what he was saying sounded the way he wanted it to.

"I'm absolutely positive maybe you should talk to the people who have been to Konoha in the past days or watch the camera tapes for the gates. Then if you see anything that was unauthorized or maybe even was authorized do a home inspection of the suspect but leave it private and not let anyone including them find out what you are up to until you have found evidence of the crime." Amber replied hot headedly

"Where in gods name do you get all these Ideas? There good and all but maybe that is the problem. Maybe the whole reason this happened was because of your ideas. No wonder the council has been doing better now than they have in the past 10 years." Gaara said unintentionally because it sounded more like a compliment than he intended.

Back at Shikamaru's house Temari was still in pain even after the pain medication and she began to loose her appetite severely.

It was about 11:00 and Shikamaru was having trouble sleeping because he could here her moaning and literally felt the pain coming from the room which kept him up for the whole freaking night. He finally got up and went to see what was causing her this much pain because by know he could here her almost screaming.

Shikamaru opened her door and walked up to the bedside watching her and noticing that one of her hands held her stomach tightly and the other was constricting the bed sheets. She was sweating and it appeared that she was sleeping so he went down stairs and grabbed the thermometer and several different bottles of medication.

He woke her up and checked her Temperature this time it was 104.93 which was extremely dangerous so he gave her a high dose fever reducer, then he went into the bathroom and ran cold water into the tub halfway.

Then he went back into the room, picked her up off the bed and noticed she was lighter than he thought and carried her into the bathroom. By now she was fully awake but blinded by heat and pain. He didn't bother removing her clothes and placed her in the icy water to help dispel the fever for now.

Luckily she wasn't wearing one of her outfits, but he thought she only had two than he noticed it was one of Sakura's shirts and it was white and what's worse is that the shirt was completely soaked and she wasn't even wearing a bra. He quickly looked away but remembered he couldn't leave her there for long so he looked around the room for a spare shirt that Sakura might have given her.

He found a slightly longer one that looked like it would cover someone almost to their knees, and pulled her out of the tub all the while trying not to look at her. He asked her if she could understand what he was saying but all she did was stare questioningly. He realized what was wrong and that she was to drugged up by the medication to understand what was even going on but at least she wasn't in pain anymore.

He called his mom who wasn't happy and asked her to help him but she bluntly refused so it was up to him to change her clothes. He really didn't want to but if he left her like this she would only get sicker and possibly die. He grabbed her up, turned her back to him and removed her shirt than he put on the other shirt and she snapped back to reality, realized what was going on and attempted to beat him in rib with her elbow but couldn't get her body to move without feeling some sort of helplessness.

He stopped trying to change her after he put on her shirt since she had been sleeping in only that tee-shirt and some panties he thought those wouldn't be to wet so he placed her back in her bed and went to his own so he could get some sleep.

What's going to happen next? Find out in the next chapter which should be up soon. Please I am begging you people to rate and also I appreciate Kane-the-warrior for reviewing every one of my chapter's and I may turn from NaruHina to NaruSaku on request.
