lostmoonchild: Thanks for the reviews! Nothing much to say (I'm tired and kittens have been "attacking" when I'm trying to work on chapters) so let's get the show on the road!
Chapter Warning: ShikaxTemari lemon
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto so don't sue.
Chapter Forty Nine
There was perhaps nothing he could say to make them understand why he wanted to return to Konoha. In truth, he wasn't entirely sure he understood why he had wanted to come back. Why should he have when he knew full well that his brother had been ordered to kill off everybody with the surname of Uchiha? Why didn't he feel that same resolve to destroy this damnable village?
Perhaps it was because he sensed something was wrong and some part of him still felt the desire to protect his village. Perhaps, though, he realized that he had been an idiot. Either way, he knew his skin was safe the moment he laid eyes upon the council. His last name would save his life although he was fairly certain he wasn't about to receive any mercy from Tsunade. "Uchiha Sasuke, do you have anything else that you'd like to add?" Tsunade asked calmly as she stared icily at the Uchiha.
"Hn."
Irritation crossed the Hokage's features before she said, "Then it's time for you to hear what's going to happen to you. You will be spending the next three weeks in Konoha's maximum security prison and you will be stripped of all your shinobi standings until I damn well feel like giving them back. If you so much as touch a kunai or even think about doing a hand sign then you'll find your ass in so much trouble not even the Kyuubi no Youko would dare get involved. You will also stay away from Uzumaki Hisoka and the nearest you'll be allowed near their home while Hisoka is in Konoha is three hundred yards."
As if he had any intentions on going near that damnable brat for any reason. "Whatever." Sasuke responded smoothly.
Tsunade's eyebrow twitched in irritation as she stared at the Uchiha before snapping at an ANBU guard, "Get him out of my sight. I don't want to see him until medical checkups are actually required."
Biting back any noise as he was roughly jerked from the room, Tsunade glanced at the other ANBU member that watched with caution radiating from his body. "You have permission to speak freely, Karasu." Tsunade said with a sigh.
"With all due respect, Lady Hokage, I don't believe that Uzumaki Hisoka should return to the village until after things have calmed down." Karasu responded. "We've been receiving reports of attacks on Naruto which mostly consists of vandalism. Even then it's not limited to just Naruto."
Was it really too late to just say that Sasuke was going to be executed? No, she couldn't let herself be ruled by emotion alone. If the Uchiha brat was killed then she was fairly certain all hell would break loose seeing as how many people still supported the young man. "That poor child's already been through hell. Let Naruto know that until things calm down, it wouldn't be wise to get ready to summon Hisoka back."
"Yes, ma'am."
With a puff of smoke, the ANBU member vanished without a trace. Tsunade closed her eyes for a brief moment knowing that she was going to celebrate when she finally stepped down from this hellacious job.

Soft gasps left Temari's lips as she dug her nails into Shikamaru's back, feeling his body moving against hers. She could hear the soft grunts that left the lazy shinobi's lips as he rolled his hips against her, filling her deeply. "Shika…" Temari moaned softly.
His name upon her lips was the only encouragement the lazy shinobi needed as he began pushing deeper and faster into her, listening to the cries leaving her lips. Shikamaru remembered the last time he and Temari had been able to spend a night like this together and it was one of those things that he prayed Naruto would be able to understand in his growing relationship with Akina. Long distance relationships were hard and made even harder when there were children involved.
A hiss of pained pleasure left the blonde woman's lips as Shikamaru dug his fingers into her hips, pulling her closer as his pace increased. She could feel her lower abdomen tightening tightly as she was pushed closer and closer to the edge, her muscles beginning to contract as his scent filled her senses. "You're so wet and tight." Shikamaru grunted softly.
"Please just let me." Temari pleaded as she raked her nails down the Nara's back. "Help me come."
Shifting his body ever so slightly, Shikamaru began hitting the one spot within the woman he knew would send her over to the edge. As if having a second thought, he slipped his thumb between the woman's folds and began rubbing her clit with enough pressure to send her screaming over the edge. He watched with interest as she began writhing against him, desperately seeking her release.
He had learned early on in the sexual aspect of their relationship that there were times when orgasm would be almost impossible for the woman. Her body would be primed to release but he supposed that her body was having her fake an orgasm even when she was fully enjoying herself. Once he had discovered that after having been forced to duck several flying knives, he had made it a point to ensure she came even if she was being stubborn and refusing to let him know.
Temari arched her back and screamed her pleasure as her muscles clamped down around Shikamaru's length, milking him dry. A small smile spread across their lips before they exchanged a soft kiss. "Marry me." Shikamaru said softly.
"Hmm?"
"Marry me," repeated Shikamaru patiently.
Temari stared patiently for a moment or two before opening her mouth in response. Before her answer was said aloud, they heard the door slam shut and the sound of a child running from the room. "Oh shit." Temari said as she shoved the Nara off of her. "Stay put cause a guy's gonna be the last person she's gonna want near."
Wrapping herself up in her robe, Temari slipped from the room and down to Hisoka's room. A soft smile spread across her face when she saw a toy rabbit's ear sticking out from under the bed. "Hi-chan, come on out." Temari said softly.
"No." Temari frowned slightly at the muffled reply.
"Don't worry, Shika's not here with me."
Temari sat down on the bed and waited patiently as the little girl slowly came out from her hiding place. "I heard you scream." Hisoka said softly. "I wanted to make sure you were okay."
Temari smiled softly as she touched the girl's multi-colored hair, nearly amazed at how soft the colored locks were. "You were scared?" Temari questioned.
"Uh huh. I seen that before but the ladies were always crying. Sometimes even the boys were crying." Hisoka's eyes wandered to San as she shifted slightly. "I cried lots too cause it hurt."
"What you saw Shika and me doing, Hisoka, is something that doesn't hurt if the one you're doing that with is the right person." Temari explained. "Did your daddy ever talk to you about that?"
"No. The head doctors tried but they just asked how did it make me feel and I always told them that I felt dirty every time they asked me."
So that issue hadn't been resolved? Temari sighed softly before answering, "Well, what you saw is something that's supposed to feel good. When it doesn't feel good is when you don't have the right person."
Hisoka grabbed San and covered her mouth as she stared at Temari. "Never felt good." Hisoka told her. "It always felt bad."
"That's because you aren't a grownup. When you get bigger, your brain and body will do more talking. Right now, your body tells your brain when it's time to eat or when you get hurt."
"What about when I grow up?"
"Then your body will tell your brain other things like if someone is your soul mate."
Hisoka nodded slightly before asking, "Did you hurt?"
Temari almost pitied the poor bastards that were going to be handling Hisoka later in life. "It always hurts the first time because us girls have a garden and there's a gate that protects that garden." Temari said patiently, her mind frantically racing for an explanation. "Boys have keys to that garden but the garden gates break when the boys put the key in so it hurts the first time. Afterwards though, the garden is open for that special someone to go into and it doesn't hurt."
"You promise?"
"Cross my heart."
Seemingly comforted by the knowledge that Temari wasn't hurt and that she hadn't seen anything terrible, Hisoka allowed herself to be tucked back into bed. "What about boys?" Hisoka questioned.
"Boys just have a backdoor that's always locked unless another boy uses a key to get in."
"Oh. It hurts them too?"
"Yep." Temari brushed the child's hair out of her eyes. "Just remember, honey, we don't talk about this to anybody. This is just like when you close the bathroom door to use the toilet."
"Private."
"Right. Now go to sleep and no more wandering around at night."
"Temari?"
"Hmm?"
Hisoka sat up and wrapped her arms around her legs. "When Kabuto snuck into the village and hurt me…" Hisoka trailed off, her eyes questioning if this was one of the things that was okay to talk about.
"What happened, honey? Do you want to talk about it?"
"Kabuto hit me a lot and when I managed to get away, the snake was what went between my legs. All Kabuto did was hit me but when he caught me, I felt like I was burning." Her arms tightened around her legs as the tears welled up. "I told Daddy I hated him cause he didn't help me. I didn't mean it."
"I know, sweetheart, and so does your dad." The blonde gently kissed the little girl's head and wiped away the tears that had fallen. "You're okay now, honey. I'd like to say that there isn't any monsters in the world but that'd be lying. What I'm not going to lie about is that you have the means to protect yourself and everybody else that you love."
Slowly the girl nodded before grinning at Temari. "I'm glad you're not hurt." Hisoka told her.
Now that she had gotten that off her chest, Temari supposed the girl was just a little more comfortable with what she had seen earlier. "I'm glad too. Just remember that there's a difference between happy screaming and hurt screaming." Temari couldn't help but smile softly as she tucked the girl back in. "Okay?"
"Okay."
Watching as Temari left the room, Hisoka rolled over onto her stomach and stared at San. "We should go to sleep, San. We can ask Gaara tomorrow." She paused a moment. "I know Temari said not to ask cause it was private. Don't be stupid, San, we can't ask Daddy cause he's not here. Let's just go to sleep and we'll talk about it in the morning. Maybe big brother knows."
Holding tightly to the stuffed fox, Hisoka closed her eyes and allowed her dreams to take over again.
"So?"
Temari closed her eyes as she nestled against the dark-haired man before answering, "I think I just gave Hisoka the means to where babies come from and explained sex."
Shikamaru smiled softly before answering, "She's bound to ask sooner or later if she hasn't already. Of course with how often she's been…" Shikamaru stiffened, unable to say the word. "With how often she's been mistreated, I'll be impressed if she ever becomes truly comfortable with the idea."
"I suppose. Now, I believe we had something to take care of before a child came running away convinced that you were hurting me."
He really didn't want to ask the question again but from the look in Temari's eyes, she remembered perfectly well. "And?" Shikamaru questioned calmly.
"Somebody's gonna have to keep your lazy ass moving so yes."
It was probably about as good as they were going to get with proposals seeing as Shikamaru was so lazy but as Temari lightly kissed her fiancé, she knew she wouldn't have had it any other way.
lostmoonchild: I love Shikamaru and Temari as a couple and since they have a long distance relationship, that's going to be purely emotional until they have a chance to get together. Then I don't see them actually turning down the chance to get physical. So until next week, read and review!
