Ch.6 ShikaTema
Four days has past since school started. Today was Friday and there was an assembly in the gym. The big gym was decorated with posters that said 'Welcome back' and balloons.
Rookie 9 walked around the gym to find a place to sit and their other friends. They found everyone except Lee, Tenten, and Neji because those three are in the assembly.
In the beginning of the assembly, Tsunade talked about the school history and for everyone to do their best. After, all the teachers were introduced. Then clubs came to introduce and recruit people.
When all the talking finished, they had some entertainment. A couple of people sang, some groups danced, then to end the assembly the martial arts top students came out to do a little show.
Neji, Lee, and Tenten wore some white robes tide with a blackbelt. First, they bowed to eachother then they started to spar. Ten minutes later when they finished their routine, they bowed to eachother again to end the spar. Everyone in the gym clapped at how amazing they were.
The assembly lasted from periods one-five. When they were excused, they had a free period for that one day to go join clubs if they wanted to.
At the end of the day, everyone but Shikamaru were in a club. Naruto, Sasuke, Kiba, Kankuro, Temari, and Gaara joined the martial arts club. Shino joined the bugs club. Sakura, Hinata, and Ino joined the singing club. Chouji joined the cooking club.
"Shika, why didn't you join a club?" asked Temari as she hooked onto his arm.
"Because," Shikamaru sighed, "clubs are too troublesome."
"Lazy ass."
Shikamaru smiled down at Temari, "Yeah, but im your lazy ass, right, troublesome woman?"
Temari giggled and leaned up to kiss him, "Got that right! And im your troublesome woman."
Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata, and Sakura went up to Temari and Shikamaru. The girls squealed when they heard their convo.
"Eeeeek, that's so cute~!" shouted Sakura, Hinata nodded in agreement. Naruto and Sasuke just shook their heads.
"U-uh thanks…" said Temari.
"How did you guys meet?" asked Hinata.
"Oi, Shikamaru, want to go with us to our place?" asked Sasuke.
Shikamaru sighed in relief, "Totally. This is too troublesome. Bye Tema, I'll see you later." He said as he kissed her.
"Bye Shika. Love you."
"I love you too," said Shikamaru as he left.
Shikamaru walked up to Naruto and Sasuke and they left towards the apartments. When they got to the front of the apartments, Shikamaru sighed.
"Thanks guys for saving me from troublesome women talk."
"No problem," Naruto grinned at him.
When they got inside, they spent the time talking about girls, eating, and playing some games.
Back with the girls, Sakura hooked onto Temari's arm.
"Tell us your love story!" she demanded.
"U-uhh, o-okay. Let's go sit down at a café first, okay?" asked Temari feeling uneasy. She never had a 'girls talk' before.
They walked a block and went into a small café. They sat at a table near the window and they all ordered lemonade.
"Tell us," commanded Hinata.
"O-okay… It was last year when we first met. We barely moved to Konoha…."
Flashback
It was a hot day in Konoha. At the gates stood three figures, two males and a female.
"Let's go look for a place to stay," said Gaara.
They walked around the village for a while looking for a cheap place. As they were walking, Temari and Kankuro noticed the females eyeing Gaara. They both looked at eachother and nodded, to protect their youngest sibling. As they were walking, some people started to follow them. Gaara looked behind him and glared. Wrong move… that just made the girls go crazy and chase them.
"Run!" shouted Temari to Gaara. Gaara nodded and ran off.
Temari and Kankuro stayed behind and tried to hold them off. A while later, a man with pineapple styled hair came and saw the scene.
"Troublesome," he said and shook his head.
"Oi, girls," a couple of girls looked at him with hearts in their eyes, "You looking for a red head? I saw him run that way." He pointed to the opposite direction that Gaara turned.
"Thank you~!" said all the girls as they ran towards the way Shikamaru pointed. As some passed, some hugged him and some kissed his cheek.
"Eww, troublesome women!" he said as he wiped his cheeks and dusted his clothes.
"T-thank you." Said Temari as she looked at their savior.
'He's pretty cute.' She thought.
"Yeah, this was all troublesome. Bye." Shikamaru said then left.
Temari blushed while Kankuro just looked at her confused. After a minute of staring, Temari looked at Kankuro and blushed at being caught.
"W-what?"
"Nothing."
Kankuro shrugged and walked off to find Gaara. Temari followed close behind.
End Flashback
"That was how we met…"
"….how did you guys get together?" asked Sakura.
"Oh… right… Well it was the first day of school when I saw him…"
Flashback
School had just begun. Everyone still had about thirty minutes before it was time for first period.
"Hey! Its you!" shouted Temari as she looked at the familiar hair.
Shikamaru looked at her and groaned.
"What?"
"Remember me? You helped me and my brothers."
"Let me think," said Shikamaru as he looked at the clouds, "Oh, yeah. Troublesome."
"Anyways, thank you again. Im Temari! You?"
"Listen, troublesome woman, I'm kinda busy right now. See ya," Shikamaru said as he headed towards the roof.
Temari followed him.
"What you doing?"
Shikamaru groaned, "I'm going to watch the clouds."
"Mind if I join?"
"Whatever, you're going to join me no matter what anyways. Troublesome woman."
"You're pretty smart! Whats your name?"
"That's what they tell me. Shikamaru Nara, and you are troublesome."
Temari looked at him then she laughed. Shikamaru looked at her and she blushed. When they got to the roof, Shikamaru went to a random spot and laid down. Temari followed and sat next to him.
"Troublesome woman, what are you doing?"
"Sitting next to you. Got a problem?" she asked with a tint of anger in her voice.
"No, this is troublesome."
"By the way, my name is Temari. Not Troublesome Woman."
"I'll stick with troublesome woman. Now if you don't mind, im going to take a nap." Shikamaru said as he yawned.
"Ugh, what a lazy ass!" Temari said before taking her own little nap next to him.
Flashback end
"After that day we started hanging out there. Sometimes we would talk while looking at the clouds, while other times we would nap next to eachother. A few months passed and next thing you know, he asked me out." Temari finished.
"Cute!" squealed Hinata and Sakura.
People were starting to stare at the trio. They all laughed and said their sorrys then they left. While they were walking to Naruto and Sasuke's apartment, a question popped into Sakura's mind.
Sakura looked at Temari, "How did he ask you out, ne?" she said a little teasingly.
Temari blushed and looked at the sky then smiled.
"Well, it was actually surprising that he put effort in it. He and some of his friends made some cloud shaped posters. One each poster was one word. When I went to the roof one morning, there stood some people with posters standing. When I read the posters, it came out as 'Troublesome Woman, be my girlfriend?'" Temari blushed, "Shika held the poster that said 'My' and it had an arrow pointed towards himself. He also had a bouquet of flowers. Thus ShikaTema began that very moment."
"AWHHHHH!"
"How cute!"
Temari blushed and smiled. She was glad that they have made it to the apartments already. She did not want any more questions.
