by glockcourage

There's a fic called Coded Messages. It's a collection of hidden love notes exchanged by Shikamaru and Temari. To enjoy this Decoded fic, it's best to check that Coded fic first. This afterall is just a companion piece. Simply put this contains the answers to some covert messages found in the Coded Messages fic.

3. Chapter 6

There's no message to decode from Chapters 3 to 5 of Coded Messages hence

Chapter 6

Doing this while listening to One ok rock, my muse finally stops nagging me to stop.

Yep, the old clue was: We all know Temari's older, right? And it may be similar to the rest but something is different...

Now, that means:

1. Temari's older by 3 years. Three.

2. Usually the guy is older than the girl. So usually we must start at the beginning but nobody said we can't start at the end…So this is different. The girl is older. Now, start reading at the end.

Here's the answer to Chapter 6:

Shikamaru's Other Message

It will soon be apparent to others about our relationship. Tch, it's you who have let the cat out of the bag anyway. You must see it from my point of view and just agree with me. This time, I'll have the upper hand.

This is some big thing that you can't get out of easily. Creating this trouble, it's only fitting that you should get us out.

Mom is gay about it. Let's see, I'm actually okay with it. Maybe your brothers may protest. Remember it's your decision though. You can tell me your answer, however, only one is suitable. Our village will just have to accept it.

That woman, she is scary you already know that. We must or I will be more than whipped.

I'll be eighteen in less than two years. We can't turn back the time. Even so I really have no regrets. That occasion when it'll come, I know whatever I feel now would still be the same. Life is hitched with numerous tribulations. It will get easier because I know you will be by my side. I might gonna have to quit smoking though. Tch, you are ecstatic with that I'm sure.

This predicament we have in the end, you will be the one gaining all the advantage. Picking a stick to whack my head would have been less painful. Not doing lip service here to convince you. I'm in your quite brutal hands. You will saw and slash through this missive with your fan probably, cutting it to a million pieces.

Yeah, my mom is real troublesome. But then my decision is to go with it. Then so woman what's yours gonna be?
