Hello my beloved readers, I know its been a while, but schools been hectic, works been busy and I am currently doing exams, but I thought to myself 'what the heck' and decided to write this for all of you. ;)

I hope you like, and please review. I am not quite sure about the ending for this chapter.

Chapter Five

They all looked up quickly, except for Sakura who just shook her head, sighed and blended back into the shadows as she took in the loving sight before her without getting involved.

A man of about 19 was standing above them, hanging from a doorway with his dark brown hair in a spiked ponytail. His facial expression was that of shock as he rubbed his eyes, as if trying to tell himself that this wasn't a dream. That it was real.

His mouth dropped in shock as Temari started to cry, obviously thinking that if this was his daydream he would not be picturing the love of his life crying.

"T-Temari…" He trailed before his expression changed from that of shock to that of pure happiness. With a shout of laughter he practically flew from his place in the hut doorway, down along the bridge and then proceeded to jump straight down, with just a rope stopping him from broken limbs. It took about 20 seconds for him to reach her and lift her in the air and into his arms, their baby safely in Hinata's arms.

He pulled her close and tucked his head into the crevice of her neck, inhaling the scent he had long missed but never forgotten. Temari curled herself into his arms and began sobbing as it seemed like a miracle that she had finally found her husband.

They stayed like that for only moments before a baby's cry pierced the air. Temari, sniffling, turned and let a smile grace her lips at the thought of her other half finally seeing the product of their love; their baby boy. She calmly pulled her baby into her arms from Hinata and turned back to Shikamaru with sparkling eyes of happiness.

"This is our son Shika. Our baby boy, Namakemono." With tears in his eyes, Shikamaru cradled the little one year old in his arms, the short mop of brown hair on the top of his head resembling Shikamaru's own hair. And the dark teal eyes that looked up at Shikamaru in wonder were a strong resemblance to Temari's own eye colour.

Shikamaru laughed lightly at the name, "Lazy, huh?" To which Temari just smiled and moved closer to the love of her life, so that she and the baby were both now being held by Shikamaru.

It had taken 2 years for them to finally be reunited, and so much had changed in that time, but their love for one another was still as strong as it had ever been, bringing them into each others arms once again.

A clearing of a throat had them all looking up, even Sakura, who was still in the shadows looking on at the scene in front of her with an unreadable expression on her face, to a blonde woman with hazel eyes looking down at the scene with a quirked eyebrow.

"Sali kie yuws outa?" The women repeated Kiba's question, but with more authority and power, making Hinata cower behind Naruto, who winced as the pain in his arm intensified.

"They are my friends!" Shikamaru called back as he practically glowed. He now looked around at the people around him and his smile widened as he saw all his good friends. He faltered as he looked at the unconscious Ino in Neji's arms, and the bloody bandage around Naruto's arm. "You're hurt!" He then quickly looked around him as if looking for something.

Sakura stepped out of the shadows silently and leant against the side of a pillar, looking at Shikamaru expectantly.

"Looking for someone?" She asked in Japanese, saying it with her weird American accent. Shikamaru sighed in relief and looked once again to his injured friends. Sakura knew exactly what he wanted, but just rolled her eyes and stayed where she was, which made Shikamaru's face close in anger.

"Eri hiyu ho teri yuw?" Sakura just looked at him, without dropping her emotionless façade and replied,

"Eri ritu guta?" To which Shikamaru moved away from Temari and his baby and moved closer to Sakura, his face completely shut down as he glared at her. Sakura stood her ground and glared back. The atmosphere around them was icy and full of anger. The silence only being broken when a command from above had Sakura's eyes flickering up before returning her glare to Shikamaru.

"Sakura, ho isa kura yuw yi jira!" The hazel colour eyed woman from above had spoken in a tone that practically spoke of disbelief.

About 30 long seconds later, Sakura bowed her head slightly before making her way to the blonde known as Naruto, and harshly grabbing his arm, making him yell in pain, before she closed her eyes and her hands began pulsating with a green light. Soon all Naruto felt was a dull pain, numbness, and then nothing. His arm was as good as new.

Before he could thank the girl before him, she turned on her heel and crouched down where Ino had been placed. With a flash Sakura had gripped Ino's forehead with her fingertips, once again her hands glowing green.

Nothing seemed to happen for a while before Ino's eyes snapped open and she shot up, Sakura's firm push making her lay down again.

Without a word Sakura stood, brushing past Shikamaru as she passed him, and then disappeared into the trees. Shikamaru looked after her with a disappointed gaze before his expression changing when the baby started to cry again. Tears gathered in his eyes at the thought of his family being together again.

As Sakura had walked away from them, many sets of eyes had been trained on her, some in curiosity, some in anger, and some in disbelief as to how she had acted. But one in particular caused the hair on the back of her neck to stand up even as she walked further and further away. She felt like his gaze followed her, even when she was no longer in sight. And this feeling, the weird feelings she kept getting in her heart every time she looked at him; all of this… it scared her.
