MY SAFETY

saruta:it seems you got away.. but are you feeling ok temari?

temari:yeah.. im doing ok. just a bit sleepy

in walks sasuke

temari: im out

saruta:sit back down temari.. you yo sasuke

temari and sasuke both sit down

i had kept running, even gotten myself lost a few times, but i finally reached the gates to konaha. it was nightfall when i got there and the gates was closed for the night. i fell to my knees, ignoring the pain as i fell then collapsed into a ball. as i lay on the ground at the entrance of the village... crying myself to sleep.

in my dream i was just laying there when i felt someone pulling at my legs. when i look to see who it was i started screaming. what i saw was sasuke dragging me away as he let out a taunting laugh. i tried to kick him away when he pulled me into a river. i woke up screaming when i saw who it was. he was standing over me with an empty bucket in one hand. with two girls standing behind him. as i sat up and started to stand, he held out his hand to help me up. "thanks shikamaru"

"it was nothing really. just that sakura and ino here was arguing about something when i told them to go somewhere else. they took off even more pissed off then before. when i saw them running back to me i thought i was gonna be dead."nervous laugh

"oh" i said as i looked at him.. then behind him at ino and sakura "well thanks you two"

"well we heard you screaming and tried to wake you up.. then sakura said we should move you first befors getting help"

i look at at ino.. then to sakura as she started to say something. "i told her to rest you up against the rock before getting shikamaru"she says as she starts to blush"cause i kinda figured since you and him like each other.. well why not it be him to see you when you woke up. i know that i would like to see sasuke's face when i wake up. but thats never gonna happen.. now that hes gone."

"shut up you pink haired freak"

i stand there holding onto shikamaru's arm as i watched ino yelling at sakura. feeling worse as she mention sasuke, i place my hand over my belly, i started to feel weak.. remembering i didn't have anything to eat yesterday. my stomach starts to growl.

"you hungry temari?"

i look up at him and nod, i start to take a few steps and stumble. i can feel him holding onto me as he catches me.

"you dont look so good temari.. hold on a second"he wraps one arm behind my shoulders then leans down and places the other arm behind my knees and lifts me up. "sakura your coming with me. i need your help"

"hey! what about me?"screams ino

"go tell lady tsunade that temari is here.. and that me and sakura are taking her to the er"

i looks over his shoulder and sees shes still mad.. but she goes off and does what shes told.

i had woken up in a room with white curtains pulled around me, the sun shining in from a window, and a person sitting in a chair next to it across the room. i sit up to get a better look around the room and to see who is their. "whose there?"the person looks up and i see that she has been there for some time.

"ah i see your awake" she gets up and walks across the room to me."how are you feeling temari?" she checks my pulse and temp.

"i feel fine.. just a bad dream was all"

she keeps looking at the clip bored writing things down as she mumbles. seconds later we hear a knock on the door. "come in you two"in walks ino and sakura.

"is she going to be getting out today lady tsunade?"asks sakura

"yes she will."

i look over at them standing off to the side. "how long have i been asleep?"

"just a few hours"says ino

"hours!"

"yep"

i lay back down in bed and wrap my arm across my belly and grown. sakura walks over to the side of the bed "are you ok temari?"

"I'll be ok"i roll over to my side... not looking at her. i didnt want to tell her yet about the baby.. or whose it is. at-least not yet.

"sakura and ino.. im gonna have to ask you two to leave. i want to talk to temari alone for a few."as they walk out of the room, lady tsunade walks over to the bed side and sits down on the edge of the bed. "so how long has it been?"

"how long has what been?"

"that you been pregnant."

"oh..."i look down at the floor.. then sit back up in bed and look at her. "about a week now"

moments later a knock sounded on the door. tsunade seemed a bit irritated. "i told you to leave so we can talk a bit"

"uh... no you didn't"says a guy's voice

we both looked around the curtain as he walks into the room. it was shikamaru. "what are you doing here shikamaru?"

"i came to see how your feeling"

i bring my knees up to me and look at him.. then at lady tsunade. "go ahead and tell him."she tells me. i look back over to him as he walks over to sit on the other side of the bed next to me.

"what is it you want to say temari?"

i look up at him.. "im pregnant shikamaru"

"that cant be.. you only been here.."

i cut him off before he could say more "its been a week since i knew"

"but by who?"

i could feel a knot tighten up inside me as i was thinking about it. i didn't want to say but i had to tell someone. i looked down before saying.. "by sasuke..."i bring my hands up to my face as i started to cry. "i was on my way here and he ambushed me."i could feel shikamaru's arms wrap around me. "i was out for days and he took advantage of me and raped me."he held me tight against him and patted my back. "please don't tell sakura"

"we wont tell her"they both said.

i can see in tsunade's eyes and the way she looked at me that she felt sorry for me. "how long did garra say you can stay?"

"for a few weeks"

"ok... i will tell about what happened and that you will be staying longer."

with a panicked look on my face i screamed. "NO!"

"and why not?"

"please dont tell him what happened"

"ok then.. but your going to stay the rest of the summer here til then."she turns to shikamaru. "shikamaru.. you will stay by her side at all times."

"yes lady tsunade."he says with a sigh

it had been weeks since i had been here now. the nara family has welcomed me into their home to stay for the summer. it seems that not only did lady tsunade and the others our age knew about us loving each other, and it didnt take long for his family to find out either.

i sat in bed thinking to myself out loud. "how long till they find out about the baby?"

"not long"he walks by the room and startles me. "and when they ask whose the father.. we can just tell them its me."he says with a smile on him face. i smile back at him as he comes over to sit next to me on the bed.

saruta: well at least your safe for the summer

temari:yeah i know.. but how long till everyone else knows about the baby?

shikamaru comes in and sits next to temari

saruta: i dont know.. but they will. till next time
