Kiba, Kankuro, Naruto, Neji, Shikamaru, Rock Lee, Hinata and Temari were all snowboarding on the slopes. Not everyone was in the same spot, but they were in the general area. Pretty much when you wanted to snowboard down the mountain you went and then you went straight to the top to go again.
Hinata and Temari were sitting in the snow with their boards attached to their feet at the top of the slope. They were chatting about Temari's night with Shikamaru while giggling and bantering back and forth about the cute guys on the slope.
Suddenly, Shikamaru came up to the girls. He glided off of the pulley and he skidded to a stop in front of Temari and Hinata. Temari looked up at Shikamaru, red with a blush from remembering last night. While Temari was blushing, Shikamaru smirked to himself. He didn't usually get the liberty of seeing Temari with her clothes actually on. But one thing was sure, she didn't leave much to imagination with her low cut shirts and what not.
"Can I help you Shikamaru?" Temari snapped. She cupped a hand over her eyes to block the sun from her gaze.
"Yeah, let's have a race right now. I want to see how good you really are, because you've just been sitting up here all day," Shikamaru challenged.
Temari turned to Hinata to get the okay from her and Hinata nodded. "Alright, let's do this," Temari declared.
Shikamaru smirked and Hinata leaped up. She waited for everyone to get adjusted and ready on their boards before explaining the rules of the race.
"Alright, the first one to get to the orange flag," Hinata pointed to the end of the slope. "wins. Ready guys?" Hinata asked, pausing to get a response from both parties.
"Alright, ready… set… GO!" Hinata shouted. Temari and Shikamaru were off, Shikamaru had the lead at first, but Temari eventually caught up to him.
"Got to hurry up loser!" Temari mocked. Shikamaru glared at her and put his competitive face on; he was ready to beat her.
Suddenly, from out of the corner of Temari's eye, a person going way too fast and picking up too much momentum on the snow flashed by. Temari had to maneuver in an awkward way to avoid contact with the body.
However, Shikamaru wasn't so lucky. He tried to dodge the body and almost fell, he caught his balance only by leaning forward. This seemed like a good way to catch said balance, but in reality it sent him gliding to the left, which was the direction that Temari was in. Once again, Temari had to maneuver her body in such said way to avoid contact with him.
"Watch it!" Temari chastised. Shikamaru paid no mind however, and he kept gliding to the left. Towards the body of the person that recently crashed right next to them. Temari seized this opportunity and she kept going down the mountain full force.
When Temari made it past the orange flags she twisted her body and skidded to a halt. Hinata came gliding down the mountain and made it to the orange flags just in time to see Temari celebrating. Temari jumped and tucked her legs behind her, this caused her board to pick up snow and throw it everywhere.
"You won Temari!" Hinata exclaimed, smiling widely at her friend. Temari smiled a happy, cocky smile towards Hinata then turned her direction to the mountain.
"Where is Shikamaru anyway?" she inquired. She searched the mountain for his green coat, but she couldn't find it anywhere.
"Uh," Hinata mumbled. Temari turned her attention towards Hinata and raised an eyebrow. "He stopped to help a girl that took a pretty hard fall by you guys," Hinata admitted.
Temari whipped her head to the scene where the rogue snowboarder almost hit them. Sure enough, there was Shikamaru, helping some girl out of the snow.
Temari stared at the girl with anger and envy. The girl was cute, but of course she didn't have the sexy appeal that Temari had. The girl had dark brown hair that reached to just above her breasts and she had light brown eyes to match her brown hair.
"Who the hell is she?" Temari belittled. Hinata looked to her now fuming friend and shrugged her shoulders unsurely.
Temari watched in anger as Shikamaru held the unbalanced girls hand and helped her down the mountain on her snowboard; all the while keeping he balanced with his unyielding hand.
Shikamaru finally gave the girl a slight pull with his hand and then let go, she looked nervous to be finishing the rest of the four feet of the slope by herself. Temari rolled her eyes as Shikamaru cheered as she finally finished the course.
"Good job," Shikamaru complimented. Temari sighed and rolled her eyes again. Hinata slumped away, afraid of Temari's wrath being projected onto her.
"You're late," Temari spat. She crossed her arms and stared at him angrily.
"Sorry," Shikamaru half heartedly apologized. "I had to help Arisu out, she bit it pretty hard," Shikamaru teased. Temari felt envy boil up inside of her, Shikamaru never joked with her. Arisu, or what her name appeared to be, just giggled flirtatiously and flashed Shikamaru a smile.
"This is Arisu by the way," Shikamaru introduced as she gestured to the girl.
She waved right on queue and she politely spoke, "Hi, I'm Arisu, nice to meet you," she finished with a smile.
"Yeah, we know that," Temari chided. "He said your fucking name already," she retorted. Hinata place a hand over each cheek in worry, she knew that Temari would have no problem taking her down.
Arisu's smile faded and she looked to Shikamaru in distress. Shikamaru just sighed, "The one with purple hair is Hinata," Hinata politely and quickly waved to Arisu, who waved back. "And the bitchy one is Temari," Shikamaru sarcastically disclosed. Arisu offered Temari a friendly smile, but Temari's glare shot her down.
"Um," Arisu started. She turned to Shikamaru innocently, "will you help me with snowboarding some more?" she asked. She flashed him a smile and Shikamaru nodded.
"Sure, let's start on one of the easy slopes though," he suggested. Arisu laughed shyly and she undid her feet from her board and she followed him.
"Whore," Hinata unsurely offered. Temari nodded and then she grabbed Hinata's wrist and started leading her to the gondola.
At dinner, Temari was less than happy with the sudden and unexpected presence of Arisu.
Everyone seemed to love her, everyone except for Temari and Karin that is. Even Hinata, whom had been so against Arisu just earlier, took a liking to Arisu once she told Hinata that she liked her purple hair.
As the night wore on, Temari's verbal insults and verbal jabs were all but drowned out by an anxious Shikamaru. He kept flashing her glares when she tried to tell Arisu off and he'd change the subject.
"She's a whore," Karin quietly offered trying to make her friend feel better.
"Yeah, I don't know why she stick around. No one but Shikamaru likes her, and he probably doesn't even like her that much. He just feels bad because she made a total ass of herself today," Temari voiced. Arisu seemed to overhear Temari's words and she stared at her in hurt.
"And she's not that pretty. She's fucking flat as a board," Temari vociferated. Temari looked the girl up and down and determined that the little A cup had nothing on her 34D cup.
Karin laughed out loud and almost spit out her water at Temari's remark. Even Ino and Sakura allowed a little hidden giggle to escape their lips. Tenten bit her lip and stared at Hinata, trying to feign a straight face.
Arisu looked from face to face of all of the girls who were hurting her and she suddenly got up quickly and walked out of the room, almost in tears.
"Why the hell did you do that?" Shikamaru demanded. He stood up and almost pushed his chair over, he leaned over the table and glared at Temari while waiting for her answer.
"She just can't freaking come in here and think that she's one of us! She isn't and she never will be!" Temari defended, she too stood up and leaned over the table.
"Whatever, I'm going to go find Arisu," Shikamaru affirmed. He looked to the door, then sprinted towards it, after the new girl that he met today.
Temari grabbed a fork and slammed it on the table with all of her might, it bounced off and almost hit Tenten in the head, but she dodged it. Temari kicked the pole under the table with her foot and sat down in a huff as she crossed her arms.
After sitting in silence for some while, Temari looked around at all of the disappointed and shocked faces.
"Screw this, I'm going to bed," Temari announced. No one said a word but followed her out with their eyes.
"That was rough," Rock Lee murmured. Ino just grabbed Rock Lee's hand and patted it.
"I wonder if this is because she likes his," Neji mused. Tenten squeezed his forearm and looked down at her lap.
"Well let's not let this ruin our dinner," Naruto consoled.
"That's right, how was your day at the slopes, Sakura? Do you like the instructor still?" Kankuro distracted.
"Of course! The bet between me and Karin is still on," Sakura disclosed.
The remaining ten bantered back and forth about their day, trying to ignore the scene of drama that they had just witnessed.
