This was a cute little idea that came up with the help of a good friend (: She's a big fan of Anko so I dedicate this to her! Hope you enjoy (:

Disclaimer! I dun own people D: Note: italicized is Temari's thoughts.


Temari leaned her elbows back on the picnic table she was sitting on and drew a breath, then sighed. She had just gotten back from a mission with Shikamaru to apprehend a rogue ninja that was seen on the outskirts of Konoha. Most other shinobi were out on missions and those weren't were assigned to certain duties. Temari was visiting from Suna for paper work the two had to do for the upcoming Chunin exams, so Tsunade sent her and Shikamaru on the mission.

Shikamaru came back seconds later with two orders of mitarashi dango. "Here," he said as he sat beside her and stretched his arms. She looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "Thanks," she said. "Missions like that are always so troublesome...I'm tired now..." said the boy, closing his eyes. Temari elbowed the boy in the ribs. "You're always tired." "Owwww. Why?" Temari smirked, "Because I can."

"You two fight like a married couple! Are you on a date?" A pair of arms wrapped around both shinobi's necks. Anko. Temari glared at her and looked away. Shikamaru blushed and panicked. "What? No! We're...we're not on a date! That's absurd!" He pulled away from her touch. Temari glanced at him and looked away again. "If you dislike me that much you can leave crybaby. I didn't know I was that horrid," she popped the last dango in her mouth and stood. "You know what? I'll leave." She turned and walked off. Anko looked at Shikamaru, who was still looking in the direction the blonde haired kunoichi disappeared to. Anko pointed to his dango. "You gonna eat that?" He rolled his eyes at her and handed her the food, then held his head on his knees.

I swear, guys don't know a thing. Is he really that oblivious? You'd think, since he's the only guy I associate with, and the only one I ever spend free time with...Ugh. She sat down on her sofa in her guest apartment. She looked at the clock. It was almost ten. I'm so tired...

She stood reluctantly and made her way to her room. I should start packing my things...I leave tomorrow after all...I sort of hope I can see him again before I go. But then again, he pisses me off so much. God I sound like a girl. He's getting to me... The blonde found her suit case and packed her belongings inside. A knock was then heard from her door.

"What are you doing here? It's ten o'clock at night! I'm trying to sleep!" Shikamaru looked her up and down. She crossed her arms. "That's not what it looks like." She was still dressed in her kimono. "Look, I don't need you here expressing more of your opinions. Now leave." She reached for the handle and closed the door, but the brunette ninja grabbed her wrist and forced his way inside. "I can't stand when you do that," he said. "Do what? You bothered me at night! How the hell am I supposed to act? 'Oh Shikamaru how kind of you to visit, how convenient. Come in for some tea and cookies!' Yeah right." She pulled her arm away and turned, crossing her arms. "When you push me out. When you don't let me get a word in before you get pissy and either abuse me or just walk off!" She looked down. She's never seen him angry before...or even yelling at that.

She turned back around. "How am I supposed to act when you piss me off? Especially when you completely insult me!" Before she could blink Shikamaru grabbed her by her wrists again and pinned her to the door that was behind him. "Do you think if I thought those things about you I would be here right now trying to apologize? You know, if I didn't care I wouldn't bother. I'd probably be sleeping right now." She avoided eye contact with the boy. He shifted her hands to one above her head and ran his fingers of the other hand across her cheek. "Temari..."

Before she could think she ripped her wrists free, grabbed him by his shirt, and pulled him into a kiss. At this point, she didn't care about their argument. She wanted him to see how she felt. She left tomorrow, and who knows when she'd return. She didn't want feelings left not being dealt with. She pulled away. "Stay with me..just this one night, please." The boy picked her up and kissed her again, carrying her to the couch. He laid down, with her on top of him, and kissed her head. "Goodnight Temari." His heartbeat...she could hear it. Rhythmic. She drifted off into a deep sleep.

She's just like a child...one minute she's yelling at me, and the next she breaks down, then falls asleep. It's cute, although I would never personally admit that to her. She's always so mature and intimidating. But I guess dad was right...women will show kindness to the man they love... He drifted his fingers along her cheek once more. "I love you Temari."
