Shikamaru

I hurried to men bathroom to calm down and splash some cold water on my flushed face. I laughed silently because I just found out how easily I can get Temari to lose her control. Though I have to admit I had a hard time controlling myself back there too. I could almost feel how she shivered from my touch and the way she was breathing through her parted lips. Her wide eyes and flushed cheeks. I sighed.

She will be furious now. Devastated that I managed to seduce her and control her, confused, insanely angry and determined to kill me in some sick way. Now I'll just have to wait for her response. It was unnerving as she was pretty unpredictable trouble maker, but fun at the same time.

I headed back to the teachers' room to pick her up as my next lesson was about to begin, but I couldn't find her. After a while I gave up and went to the classroom No6. I had to teach a strategy lesson for the 4th years. I came in to find Temari, sitting at the back of the class, surrounded by all my pupils. I could hear she was telling them some story and they were all absorbed by it.

I stood by the blackboard and coughed, trying to get their attention, but failed. No wonder – Temari was radiant, her smile was gorgeous and everybody felt intimidated by her warm behavior and playful intonations of her voice.

I thought of a comeback and smiled to myself. I was skilled enough to stretch my shadow without making any hand signs. I did that, and it travelled right through the rows of tables and chairs and between the feet of the students until I caught Temari. Suddenly she fell silent and stopped moving. Students gasped and started calling and shaking her, but it was no use. Temari couldn't even talk with this technique I used on her. She was my puppet now and I could control her simply with my thoughts. And so I did.

Temari stood up and started walking slowly towards me. My students backed away from her instantly, gasping with fear and confusion. Only now they noticed me and few vigilant students spotted a black line between us, so now I had their attention back to me. Temari was still walking towards me and I knew I will be dead as soon as I let her go. Her eyes were already burning with pure hatred. I was trying to come up with a plan for afterwards.

I pulled her besides me, made her turn around to face the class and took the fan off her back. I rested it against the wall. All the students were staring at us with an awe as Temari still stood unable to move, grimacing furiously, and I was slowly pushing my table and chair towards the window, making some free space. I grabbed her fan and went as far away from her as possible, leading her towards the door at the same time, forcing her to open them and exit the room. Some students started giggling and then I released her.

In less than a second the doors opened with a bang and a furious blonde with burning eyes fixed on me rushed inside the room, throwing seven kunais all at the same time at me. I managed to block them all only because I hid behind my table and used her fan. Temari was still breathing fire and before she decided to jump and mount my head into the wall, turned to my students and started explaining:

- Here you saw a simple strategy of a fight. As you probably realized, I can capture an enemy with my shadow and make them do whatever I want, so what I did firstly is I took her fan away from her. If I haven't done that, now I would probably be dead and this wall behind me wouldn't exist anymore. I also moved as far as possible from her so I'd have enough time to notice her attack and come up with a way to counter it or defend myself, when I let her go. For all of this it's very important to quickly notice and evaluate your enemy's – said this, I glanced at Temari, smiling – abilities and character. For example: Temari is a wind used, you can easily guess that from this fan she's carrying around and I guess 5 minutes with her is enough to notice how hot-blooded she is. Which means she will not think twice before launching into attack if she's angry. And now, judging from her furious eyes, pointed at me, I can predict I will be dead after this lesson or even earlier. I don't know if she told you, but you have met the most skilled wind user in all the Allied Shinobi force, in which we fought together. – I finished, handing the fan back to her, while my students were laughing, clearly enjoying the show and amazed at the little play.

I smiled at her, and she smiled back that smile. I did not know what was waiting me but I was sure I'm going to suffer.
