A/N: 50 reviews! I love all you reviewers so much, you guys are amazing. Review! :)
Shikamaru had never really thought about dying before, but standing weakened on the battlefield made death all too real a possibility.
He saw the kunai flying towards him, but he couldn't dodge. Closing his eyes, he silently apologized to his girlfriend and waited for the impact.
Then a miracle happened. He felt a gust of wind and all the weapons were pushed back.
"Temari!" he exclaimed. "You're not supposed to be near me according to the battle plan!"
"Well a certain crybaby needs 24/7 supervision," she laughed.
"I love you," Shikamaru sighed, relieved.
"I know you do," Temari smirked.
