Ch. 6 The Fight Over Shikamaru
Out of no where, Ino sprung forward and landed in front of Shikamaru and Temari as they were walking through the streets. "What are you doing with her Shikamaru?" Ino asked angrily.
Shikamaru and Temari looked at her with disgust. "Ino how many times do I have to tell you, I'm her guide when ever she visits our village." Shikamaru replied in monotone. "A likely story, why do you even hang around that bitch anyway? You tell me all the time how she is scarier than your mom and bosses you around and stuff, of all girls to boss you around, why do you prefer her over me?"
Temari turned to Shikamaru and he just shrugged, "Well Ino that is true but I owe her because of quite a few incidences where she saved my butt." Shikamaru said in an arrogant tone. "Wow I can't believe he just openly admitted that." Temari thought to herself.
"You're just a weak, pathetic slacker. That's what you get for hanging out with a person with the same traits as you Shikamaru." Ino said. Just then Temari's glance beamed at Ino and Shikamaru jumped. "O shit…" he said to himself.
Shikamaru knew Temari well; he knew that if anyone questioned a sand shinobi's strength, especially if this shinobi was Temari, they would get their butt handed to them.
"Ok you half witted pig, I'm fed up with you senseless bickering, it's time to shut you up." Temari said.
Temari whipped out her fan and blew Ino sky high, so far that Ino landed into the village stadium. Just as she was getting up, Temari appeared a few feet from her and Shikamaru close behind her.
Ino charged at her and threw some of her throwing knives at Temari; the then used her substitution jutsu to reappear behind Temari and managed to kick Temari in the head. Temari wiped her mouth, "Nice little trick, but that's the last hit you'll get on me." Temari then swung her fan and many kunai with paper bombs attached to them were flung at Ino.
Ino jumped out of the way, then looked up to see Temari above her, Temari arced her body and swung down and a great gust flung Ino down into the pile of explosive kunai and then activated the explosives. Ino lay on the ground with minor burn marks but many bruises from the impact.
"Come on Shikamaru." Temari said and the two went about their business. "Temari?" Shikamaru asked. "Yeah?" she replied. "Did you have to be that hard on her?" She turned to him. "I didn't even have to try, how was it going hard on her?" Shikamaru didn't reply.
The two of them headed to Tsunade's office and entered. "Temari, back so soon?" she said. "Yes, I figured Rain would need some company while she stayed here. We also need to talk about upcoming events." Temari replied.
Shikamaru sat in a chair in the corner and dozed off as the two ladies talked. "Shikamaru!" Tsunade shouted at him and threw a book at his head and knock him out of his chair. He fell to the ground and rubbed his head. "Yeah, what is it, baka."
"I am giving you a new mission. It seems that because of recent events that our fragile alliance with the Sand Village has become more fragile and is in danger of being broken and us having to go to war with them, so to help with this situation we are uniting our two best ninja in holy matrimony. Temari will marry one of our own." Tsunade said.
"What does that have to do with me? Temari is a big girl, she can take care of herself, she doesn't need me to coiffure her around while she waits for her fiancé." He said dully. Temari walked up to him, looking at him with dreamy eyes. "Don't be silly Shikamaru, you are my fiancé."
Then again out of no where a chair can whirling across the room and struck Shikamaru out of his chair. He woke up. "Were you sleeping again?" Temari asked. "So what if I was?" he replied. "Never mind I'm going." She said and she left the room.
Temari walked to Don's grave and paid her respects to him. She then headed to the room and joined Rain once again.
