"Our countries relations are finally going to be clear and comfortable toward each other." Tsunade said. Gaara nodded, though he was not necessarily happy about the
arrangement both sides would benefit from this agreement. Shaking hands they went their respective ways.
Shikamaru was very pleased with himself at the moment; he had finally moved his furniture into his new apartment, near the ramen shop. Now I can get up when I want to,
cloud watch all day, and best of all he could clean when he felt like it! Stretching out on the living room couch, he decided he would nap. It was troublesome, but he had agreed
to throw a housewarming party of sorts. Ino and Choji were in charge of everything, which was the only reason he agreed. Closing his eyes, he drifted off to sleep.
She wasn't expecting much when she arrived at the gates to the Hidden Leaf Village, the village was nothing, in her opinion, compared to the Sand. On top of that only ONE ninja
from the village had ever defeated her, the lazy Nara spawn. But she had saved his tail many times and defeated enemies that had him trapped, which in her mind meant that
while he bested her at that time. Temari had been here before; she would give Gaara's message to Tsunade and be heading back home within the hour. She had not been a
happy camper about having such an easy mission. Why did she have to take something that a messenger or bird could have delivered. Sighing, Temari was knocking on the door
to the Kohage's office, when Naruto came out.
"Bye Grandma Tsunade." He was wearing one of those silly smiles of his.
Temari thought, why today? Naruto continued down the hall as she entered. Tsunade was on the far side of the room looking over Kanoha through the window. Since she didn't
appear to be turning around Temari spoke first.
"Lady Hokage, I bring an official message from the Kazekage of the Sand Village." Laying the note on the desk, Temari was turning toward the door when Tsunade spoke. "Thank
you Temari, but that message is not for me." Walking back to the desk, Tsunade lifted the note in Temari's direction. "It's for you." Temari was confused why Gaara would send
her here if the message was for her.
Still confused she opened and read the writing. Her eyes widened in disbelief when she reached the end. There must be a mistake! , She had just read a wedding invitation for
herself and that lazy ninja Shikamaru, with the date in two weeks! That wasn't the worst part. She was not allowed to return to the Wind Country, until she had truly been
married for 2 weeks, holding the official seal of the note her amused eyes found Tsunade's calm ones, "Alright the jokes on me, I know I'm serious, but don't you
think this is too much." Tsunade's eyes now held amusement of their own. Leaning across her desk she spoke, "This isn't a joke." Opening the top drawer of her desk Tsunade
pulled out a leaf headband and handed it to Temari. "Welcome to Kanoha."
