A/N: Okay well this went over better than I expected! I'm here to give you another chapter but I want to say that I really appreciate all the people who have reviewed my story because they have no idea how much it means to me. Oh and this chapter is in Temari's POV.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

Chapter 2

Temari walked into the Hokage office, and her eyes were immediately drawn to the fidgeting girl closest to her. She fought a scowl, and instead put on an obviously fake smile. Although she would gladly admit that the very sight of this girl made her want to scoff, she promised that she would do this for Shikamaru. Even if it was just to prove him wrong.

Flashback

Temari was heading to the Hokage tower as quickly as she could without drawing any attention to herself amongst civilians. She wanted to begin walking through Konoha, it's not that the leaf village really impressed her; to be honest she secretly wanted to talk with the most lazy genius she had ever met. But she would never say that out loud, she was way to prideful, living with two brothers does that to you sometimes. She was pulled from her thoughts went she felt the grip of a familiar jutsu. Her eyes turned to slits as she glared at Shikamaru who stood in front of her, arms at his sides and a smirk on his face. Their shadow was now morphed together creating a long one.

"Shadow possession jutsu, clearly you wanted my attention you lazy idiot now tell me what you want and why you aren't waiting for me at the Hokage tower." Temari said, after the shadow dissipated.

"Troublesome," he sighed as Temari walked up to him. "Well this is about that. As it turns out I won't be your guide this time around," he continued hands behind his head as they leisurely walked to the tower.

"What!" Temari almost shouted in shock and partial anger.

"Wow, I didn't think you would take it so hard," Shikamaru mumbled a smirk on his face.

Temari blushed and didn't reply, she honestly had nothing to say, she couldn't confirm it or deny it. That was what she got from hanging around this lazy ass.

"Amazing I actually struck the big mouth speechless," Shikamaru said, feeling a little awkward.

"What was that dumb ass?!" Temari yelled, recovering from his earlier comment.

"Nothing," Shikamaru chuckled. "Anyway I was sent to talk to you about your new guide. It's a genin girl named Hinata Hyuuga."

"Wait," Temari said, stopping him before he could continue. "Hyuuga? Why does that sound so familiar?"

"She was the little girl who was beaten by her cousin during the Chunin exams," Shikamaru replied, refreshing her memory.

"Oh, you mean that poor little pale weakling that was beaten shitless?" Temari asked scowling at the memory, of such a pitiful excuse for a Kunoichi.

"Hey now be nice, but yeah that's the one," Shikamaru replied.

"Yeah well she was nearly killed and she's gonna be leading me around? How pitiful I might as well lead myself around." Temari spat.

"She isn't that weak," Shikamaru said. "Besides looks can be deceiving."

"Yeah well to me she looks like a pampered little princess who has a million friends and expects everyone to give a shit about her problems," Temari concluded.

"Wow Temari, I thought you were stupid, but now I know you really are stupid," Shikamaru said shaking his head.

"What do you mean I'm stupid!?" Temari cried, but Shikamaru ignored her question.

"Hinata is about the exact opposite of that. She's kind and cares about everyone even though half of us don't deserve it. Although she is surrounded by people all of the time she is very distant, and even though every other girl was drooling over Uchiha she had eyes for dead last Naruto," Shikamaru replied shaking his head. "She brings out the best in people in yet she has no friends, and her family treats her like dirt. We all know it in yet we're all afraid of getting to close. She used to come to my house everyday when her mother was still alive to get powdered deer horn for her medicines, in yet I never spoke to her and sometimes I regret it."

"So? What's your point?" Temari asked, playing stupid, when she heard about this girls misfortune, a small, very small part of her wanted to feel bad for her, but the other part told her not to waste a single second thinking about such a weakling.

"You're so troublesome, I wouldn't even be doing this if the girls hadn't forced me to," Shikamaru said emotionless. "They want you to be nice to her, try to be her friend and stuff like that."

"Why would I want to be friends with her? I mean I'm not sensitive or any of that crap!" Temari wondered aloud.

"That's exactly what I told them, I knew you'd fail," Shikamaru said, agreeing with her.

"Fail! What do you mean fail!?" Temari yelled, angry.

"You wouldn't be able to make friends with Hinata even if your life depended on it," Shikamaru said, suppressing a smile.

"Oh yeah!? Wellwe'll see about that!" Temari cried and stomped away from Shikamaru angrily.

"That was troublesome," Shikamaru sighed as he continued on his way at his own pace. 'But oh so worth it!' he thought.

End flashback

So now here was Temari staring down at the Hyuuga girl, with a fake smile, practically scaring the girl half to death.

'Damn Shikamaru' she thought. 'This will be harder than I thought.'

"Hinata right?" Temari asked, receiving a small nod from the girl. "I'm Temari, shall we get going?"

Temari received another nod, but the girl didn't move. Without meaning to Temari glared at her, making Hinata stand abruptly.

'Alright' Temari thought, following Hinata out of the office. 'A lot harder'

A/N: Okay that's the second chapter; I hope you all liked it and review. I know it was a really long flash back, but I thought it worked really worked out. So anyway R and R!
