"You could stand to be nicer to Temari. At some point, she'll get fed up otherwise."
With Ino's words echoing in his mind, Shikamaru knocked on Temari's apartment door.
"Hey, you look beautiful," he told her, as she opened the door.
Temari's eyes narrowed.
"Thanks," she said suspiciously.
"I'm so glad you're back in Konoha," Shikamaru continued. "Not being able to look into those perfect eyes of yours—"
Temari tackled him before he could finish.
"Who is she?" she screamed. "You wouldn't be this nice unless you were cheating!"
That was the last time Shikamaru ever took Ino's advice.
