Ch. 4
The in-laws….
"Temari I made pancakes! Aren't you coming downstairs soon?" (Wow who knew Shikamaru could cook? O.o)
"Shika, I'll be down when I'm down!!"
Shikamaru looks up the stairs. "Fine, just don't you come calling me when you come down and they are cold." He then shakes his head "Troublesome woman."
He gets a platter and fills it with the pancakes he made and puts it on the table. Ding-Dong. "Eh? Now who could that be?"
Gaara and Kankuro had entered the gates of Konoha. "First I bury him in the sand. Then you can beat him up and I'll remind him how strong my sand coffin is the hard way."
"But wouldn't that be breaking the treaty?"
"One, Temari is our sister. Therefore since he isn't up to our standard we can beat him up. Two, since she is the Suna ambassador here we are practically just doing this for the safety of our country."
"What's reason number three?"
"I am Kazekage. Do I need a reason three?"
"Ummm….. yea. Some people expect better reasons."
"Fine. Reason three, my fan girls expect it."
"You have fan girls Gaara?"
"Kankuro just shut up."
Shikamaru opens the door to see Tsunade standing before him, and she was obviously in a very bad mood. "Shikamaru I need you to cover a class at the ninja academy. One of the normal teachers is very sick."
"Can't you just heal them?"
"Just do it! Oi, now where was that Store that sold sake so early?" Tsunade walks away to find the store where she could buy sake.
"How we got a troublesome woman like Tsunade for Hokage I'll never know." He walks up stairs and into his room where Temari has finally sitting up in their bed. "I have to go cover a class today; do you think you will be fine here by yourself?"
"Shikamaru, the girls have decided to take me shopping so I won't be here all day, and I might be pregnant but I can still take care of myself so don't you forget."
"How could I forget? You saved my life enough for me to know that." He walked over to the bed and sat down and put his arm around her.
"Do think it's a boy or a girl?"
"How the heck should I know? Besides as long as it's healthy I'll be happy." Ding-Dong. "You should probably get that, I'll be down soon."
"All right. See you downstairs." He goes downstairs and opens the door. "Hel-oh Shi-"he gets covered in a bunch of sand.
"Hello, Shikamaru. Now to show you what we do to people who marry my sis without our permission. So congratulations you are our first victim." Gaara motioned to Kankuro who cracked his knuckles.
"Kankuro and Gaara don't you dare" Temari doesn't even bother to finish her threat, as she swings her fan around and hits Kankuro and Gaara in the face. (Gaara's sand protected him though.)
"You do know that a thing like that won't hurt me." Gaara is then silenced by a glare from his sister.
"Well since you both are here, why don't we just eat breakfast and talk?" Gaara, Kankuro, and Shikamaru exchange nervous glances. They all then go to the dinning room and eat pancakes.
After breakfast Shikamaru promptly leaves and Temari shows Gaara and Kankuro the guest rooms. "I have to leave in half an hour please don't destroy the house, but you can have anything you want in the fridge. I'll be back by dinner and Shikamaru should be here a 4:30. Can you guys try not to kill him?"
"We can try not to-"
"You do and you'll never hear the end of it got it?"
Temari was giving them the scary look again. "We got it," said Kankuro.
"Good."
