Chapter 6

"Well..."

Please say no. Say no, please, please, please!

"Is something the matter, son?" asked Shikato.

No, Nothing, really. My Mum just offered to show my baby pictures to my girlfriend... ARE YOU DEAF OR SOMETHING?

"No, no, there's nothing. Give me some water please."

"Your glass is full." noted Temari.

Shikamaru twitched and turned his look to his glass. It was full. He took it and drank all the water in one gulp. Then he showed the empty glass to his father without saying a word. He felt the searching and worried looks burning on his skull, but he refused to look up. He was prepared to do anything to turn his mother's and Temari's attention of the family photos. His father served him some water and Shikamaru drank it immediately and asked for more.

"Are you...okay?" asked Yoshino.

"Yeah. You seem to be a bit nervous..." added Temari.

"I'm fine." he snapped.

"You put too much sauce on your sushi?" asked Shikato calmly.

"Yeah, that's it."

His father gave him more water and Shikamaru continued to eat. The two women stared at him and finally continued to eat too. A few sushi's later, Yoshino and Temari began to talk again, like two old friends. The photos were forgotten.

The young man sighed and glanced at his father, who was still staring at him. The old man smiled at him and continued to eat.

Thanks Dad, I owe you.

Shikamaru went outside, immediately after dinner. Wow, could women talk! His ears were buzzing and he had a fierce headache. How his Dad had survived his mother was still something he was wondering about. Suddenly a horrible thought crossed his mind.

Aaargh! Soon it will be my turn!

He shook his head. No, Temari wasn't like that. She was beautiful, gracious, courageous… dominant ...loud …and loved pushing him around.

Shikamru sweat dropped. On second thought, Temari was exactly the same as his mother.

Why had he to fall in love with such a dragon?! Was it the Nara male's destiny to marry only dominant women?

"Oi, Cry-baby, are you OK?"

He looked up and saw the blonde kunochi standing in front of her. She was worried, he could see it all over her face, even if she was acting cocky. He decided not to answer. Was there an answer to give? If he said yes, she would say no, and if he said no, she would say yes. This was so troublesome.

"You were acting weird. Why?"

Ha, good question. Like I'm going to answer. How can I possibly explain to you that I was acting weird because my mother was going to show you something embarrassing?

"I'm waiting for an answer."

"I don't have one."

"You're hiding something."

"I'm not hiding anything."

"Liar."

"Troublesome woman."

"So..." began the blond kunochi.

"So?" asked Shikamaru.

An awkward silence settled between the couple.

Temari who broke the silence. "What are we going to do?"

"Shogi?"

"Suits me."
