A.N. - Hi there everyone! I hope you are all enjoying my story so far! I loved writing this chapter because it is all about Sasuke and Temari much like the last chapter was all about Kankuro and Yura. I just wanted to tell everyone in advance that tomorrow on Sept. 11th I won't be posting probably because its my birthday and I always do something with my twin brother for most of that day alright? And then the 12th is when I have our party so I may not get to then and then the 13th is my other brother (he's adopted) his birthday is then and I do something special with him. But I swear on the 14th I will be back and I will post every chapter I should have posted on those days okay? So on the 14th don't forget to check this fic out if you want to read chapters 23, 24, 25, and 26. Oh and just to make sure you guys know, the next four chapters are when things start to 'heat up' and my more citrusy events start happening, alright? So I hope you look forward to it and I will see you guys on the 14th!

I hope you all love this chapter!

To JPLteen- Excellent? Really? Aw! Thank you so much! I am so happy you are liking it! I really hope you like this next chapter as well! Thank you for reviewing!

To superme383- Wow! 3 whole reviews at once! Thank you! But No don't have a heart attack. Lol but I am really happy you love it! I can imagine it and I think it's a funny picture. Lol. I'm glad you liked it that much! And thank you for saying its amazing!Thank you! I'm glad they are getting better and better! And I hope this next one lives up to your expectations. Yeah it was a definite make out session. Hee hee. I just had to have it happen. Lol you were that into it? Awesome! Thank you so much!Yes! Kankuro and Yura are so much fun thank you very much for not killing her. Lol. Yes and I just want to say again Tobi was hilarious! But, Yeah I have three brothers and between the lot of them I can't do anything even slightly embarrassing without getting caught by at least one of them. Usually its my brother Z who catches me because he is like my beta I guess . He reads it and tells me if I need to fix stuff. He's helping me a bunch! But when he comes to help me sometimes he catches me going over my reviews and I'm blushing and/or giggling to myself…times like those he does worry about me but since they all three agree that I'm not all there they don't worry too much. Lol.. I know the Temari Sasuke thing was kind of out there at first but I don't really like him with anyone else. I was talking with a friend one evening and she asked me some question about who would go with who and I somehow came up with them being together then. Cuz you're right their personalities just work together to me. She's one tough cookie and he doesn't back down easily…so I dunno they just fit in my head and I am so happy you like it too! This next chapter focuses all on them just like the last one was all for Kankuro and Yura. I hope you like it. Lol that's my favorite song in grease but I kind of like it better when Less Than Jake sings it (at least I think it was LTJ..) anyway thank you for reviewing and like I said a second ago I hope you like how things go for Sasuke and Temari!

To BluePanda22311- I know! it's the best isn't it? A love struck Kankuro! He's so adorable when he blushes…at least to me he is cuz he doesn't do it much you know? Really?! Omg! that's amazing! Thank you! I am actually very fond of theses two together. I think they fit pretty well. Not to mention Yura is just fun to write with him. So I am just filled with happy bubbles that you love them together! Thank you again! And it was cute, strange for him but I wanted to show that even he has a softer side when faced with his lover girl. Hee hee now that I think about it…it was a little kinky wasn't it? Definite total yayness for his getting to be the hero! He is so awesome and very rarely gets any credit. I wanted him to at least be a hero for her. (Hopeless romantic at work here, hee hee) and yes Yura has had a pretty rough life ( I'm hoping I will be able to squeeze in a little of her history so everyone can understand why she is the way she is, why she's a little tough why she toys with people and enjoys trouble or why she doesn't want to trust him and didn't think he could love her. That sort of thing. I really want her to be loved by everyone because I am attached to her. Aw…you got teary eyed? That is awesome. I am so happy you loved it that much. That it could touch you like that…amazes me. I had no idea thank you. And I almost fainted when I read that this could be your favorite story of all time! I really did. Thank you so so so much! I am just incredibly happy you are enjoying it! I hope you continue to with this chapter and thank you very much for reviewing!

To xoLovelyEyesox- Hi! Should I use your name too? Or is it a secret? You loved it!! Awesome! A quiet fangirl squeal? Nifty! Score for me! I'm really glad you are able to find time to still read my fic even though your schedule is getting crazy. And it does seem to me that teachers pile assignments on Tuesdays and Thursdays…must be something about starting with T that is like code for give lots of work. Your mom is cranky in the mornings too? Lol isn't it just the funniest when they are like that? Oh ugh you start with a religion class? How do you stay awake? I think that would be a rough way to start a your day. THANK YOU!! Really thank you so much!! I love that! So much. You have no idea how much that means to me to hear that…er read that? Oh you know what I mean (giggles). Thank you for reviewing! I hope you like how this chapter turns out!

To OoOlady heatherOoO- Thank you! I really tried to make it cute for them. (I love Kankuro too much not to) Thank you for reviewing and please enjoy this next chapter!

To Gothic Saku-chan- Oh thank you! I'm glad you think that Kankuro and Yura are adorable. And everybody! that's great! I couldn't be any happier! I'm really glad you like them! Thank you fro reviewing! Hope you like this next chapter!

Temari couldn't be happier.

She was finally done with her dumb classes and now she was on her way to Shikamaru's dorm. He was going to this school she'd found that out the first night when they were at the pizza place and a bunch of others just showed up, he'd been one of them. She'd been excited to discover that, she was even more excited to find he was in her math class. She'd talked to him a lot today while the teacher had lectured. He was still the same old Shikamaru. And when she'd said she'd drop by later he hadn't said no.

She couldn't remember the last time she'd been this excited.

She actually had a chance to start something with that lazy bum now since they weren't separated by villages for at least the next four years. This whole forced to go to school thing had just gotten much better.

Temari found herself actually humming as she headed for the boy dorms.

Moments later she was standing outside his door ready to knock.

Taking a deep breath she did so and stepped back to wait.

Then she heard something she hadn't expected. Something that she had never taken into consideration.

"Oh shit!" she heard Shikamaru gasp followed by a loud thump.

She grinned, he must've been sleeping and had been startled so badly he fell off of his bed.

That theory was shattered when she heard something she had expected. Something that she had never taken into consideration. Another girl. She heard a giggle, a female giggle.

"Shika, you clutz. Its probably just one of your weird roomies back to pick something up."

"Doubt it." he muttered.

Temari struggled to place the voice. It was…that was…Ino!

No.

"Shika, pants. You can't open the door without pants, dummy."

"Oh right. Thanks."

Temari couldn't take it. Shikamaru was with Ino? When? How?

Oh no! She couldn't face this. She just couldn't.

Turning she dashed into the closest dorm which happened to be unlocked. It was dorm 4 and she hoped no one was home. She could feel the damn tears burning at her eyes.

She was about to cry! All because of that idiot bum!

She shut the door and a few seconds later she heard Shikamaru open the door.

"Who is it?" Ino called to him.

"Nobody."

"Oh, then come back I only have twenty minutes before biology starts."

"Right."

The door closed with a click and then Temari heard Ino giggle.

She could not believe it. Ino of all people. She'd lost to Ino.

Tears started to roll down her cheeks as she collapsed in the floor on her knees.

"You shouldn't cry over him." a voice said from behind her.

Gasping she jerked her head up to meet the onyx eyes of Sasuke Uchiha.

Fucking great. The one asshole who would just jump at the chance to rub her misery in her face.

"Who asked you?" she snapped, standing and dusting herself off. She glanced around the room. It was empty. This wasn't anyone's room.

"What the hell are you doing in an empty room anyway, Uchiha?"

"Sasuke. And I was training."

Sure enough, even as he said it Temari could plainly see that he was just in a pair of shorts and that sweat was clinging to him making his admittedly nice muscles glisten.

He hadn't done anything wrong. She knew that. But anger bubbled up within her. Anger at Shikamaru. At Ino. At herself. And at Sasuke for seeing her cry.

"Well, here let me help you out." she shouted before charging at him.

Temari swung at him and he easily dodged.

She swung again and he once again easily missed getting hit.

He disappeared and was suddenly behind her.

Sasuke trapped her in his arms.

"Temari, calm yourself down. Anger won't help you."

"Says the brat who wasted half of his childhood angry at the world!"

"Yeah. Says that brat. But the brat grew up Temari, and he learned the hard way that anger doesn't help." he growled in her ear.

A chill shot through her.

"Now, if you want to help me train, which would be nice, since I never have a good partner to spar with, it would be wise for you to calm down and actually make this challenging. Or you're wasting my time because right now your emotions are clouding your senses. You can't fight for the tears in your eyes are blurring everything."

"Shut up!" she slammed her head backwards into his.

"You have got to stop doing that." he snapped.

"Stop being unprepared for it." she countered.

Temari twisted in his hold and the flipped out of it completely.

"You want a match. Then bring it, Uchiha!"

"Its Sasuke."

"Right, whatever."

Sasuke shook his head.

"No, if I win you call me by my first name. No more of this Uchiha shit."

"And if I win you don't tell a single word of what you saw." she retorted with clenched fists.

"You mean I don't tell anyone you cried?" he asked with a knowing smirk.

"Damn you!" she charged at him again. She swung one fist out to connect with his face he dodged that but she'd planned for that and he dodged right into her other fist.

Grunting he turned and swung at her.

His fist just barely missed her jaw.

She flipped back and glared at him.

He was going to play rough, huh?

She ran at him and just as he prepared himself to block and counter she dove between his legs sliding across the ground and up behind him punching him in the back.

He spun and grabbed her fists. Now they were grappling.

She hated grappling. She kicked a leg out at his side. He dodged but just barely.

Smirking she jumped up trapping his torso with her legs. She then threw herself backwards, sending him flying over her where he crashed into a wall.

Standing up he smirked a her.

He whipped a kunai out.

She chuckled, "Aren't those against the rules here?"

"Like you care." he spat back.

She pulled out a small metal fan.

"You carry that with you?" he asked.

"You just never know when I need to hand some bastard his ass." Temari shrugged.

"Funny." he disappeared and Temari swung behind her.

She connected with a clone.

She spun to face the real one but just barely missed his attack.

A kunai whizzed by her face. She slashed her fan out and with its razor sharp edge she made a cut on his cheek.

Frowning he hopped back and then dove at her.

He tackled her to the ground.

"Get the fuck off me!" she snapped.

"You cut me." he said plainly.

"Yeah what of it? You tried to cut me."

"I did not. I knew you would dodge."

Temari snorted, "Yeah right."

Sasuke moved her hands and held them down to the floor just above her head.

"You look hot when you fight." he murmured as he brought his lips to her throat.

He nipped at where her pulse hammered.

"What the hell are you doing!?"

Sasuke licked up to her chin, nipping her there too.

"Why Nara?" he asked as he began to kiss her neck.

Temari bit her tongue to fight a moan that suddenly wanted free, once the urge had passed she answered, "I dunno."

"I bet you do. You just don't want to tell me, right?"

"Look, Uchiha, I don't owe you any explanation!"

"Sasuke. You have to call me Sasuke now. I won."

"Like hell you did!"

"I'm on top." he pointed out with an arrogant grin.

Temari glared daggers at him. "Fine, Sasuke. You won. Now kindly get the fuck off me."

"No. Not yet."

"What! How dare you! You don't get to decided when you-"

"Why Nara? What does he have that's so appealing?" Sasuke asked interrupting her as he returned to kissing her neck.

She didn't answer and he glanced up at her.

Her eyes were closed.

He brought his face up to Temari's and leant his forehead against hers.

"Temari?"

A tear slipped through her clenched eyes.

Fixing it so that he held her hands with only one of his he gently wiped the tear away.

"He…treated me like a girl." Temari mumbled.

Sasuke studied her silently. That was the real reason wasn't it? She wasn't bullshitting, that was really why.

"And how does one treat a girl?" he asked.

"He just did. I don't know."

Sasuke kissed her cheek and leaned down to whisper in her ear.

"Why would you want him to treat you like a girl?"

"Because I am one!"

"No one else treats you like a girl?"

"No. I'm intimidating. I know that. I made it so I was. I had to be to make it anywhere in Suna. But I didn't count on every guy I ever met being a coward. Not one of those chickens could handle me they all cowered and gave in or totally avoided me or treated me as one of the guys."

"But not Nara?"

"No, not Shikamaru. He first treated me the same he never cowered then he started treating me like a girl."

"And again I ask, how does one treat you like a girl?" Sasuke purred as he nibbled her ear.

"He…he tried to be nice to me. He was polite. I don't know, okay, I just liked him! That's all it was. Okay! He probably didn't even treat me like a girl, who knows!"

More tears welled up in her eyes.

Sasuke's gaze softened fractionally as he stroked a finger down her cheek.

"You just liked him?" he asked.

"Yes."

"No other real reason?"

"Probably not. Will you get off of me now?"

"Do you still like him?" Sasuke asked staring deeply into her watery dark blue-green eyes.

"I don't think so. What would be the point now?"

He nodded once and then suddenly claimed her lips roughly.

Temari gasped at the sudden assault but quickly recovered and returned the kiss.

Sasuke shuddered when her tongue met his.

Keeping his one hand holding hers he used the other to hold her face closer to his.

Temari bit his tongue. Grinning he nipped her back.

She bit him harder.

"What?" he asked pulling away just far enough to speak.

"What are you doing?"

"Kissing. You?" he asked with a cocky look on his handsome face.

"Why you arrogant little bastard."

"Temari."

The seriousness in his voice halted her.

"I meant it before. You shouldn't cry over him." he brought his hand up to her face and gently traced her tear streaks. "Your tears should never fall for such an insignificant reason as he."

Temari stared up at him.

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying that if I find that the asshole made you cry again nothing will protect him from me." a cold chill filled his voice.

"But he didn't even know I was crying."

"Inexcusable."

"Why would you hurt him?"

"To uphold your honor. He betrayed your feelings. Nara is a genius. He had to at least know of your feelings a little. For him to lead you on is inexcusable. As I said. If he makes you cry again nothing will protect him."

Temari studied the boy atop of her.

"What if I asked you not to?"

"You would defend him even after this?"

"Just asking."

"Alright. I may refrain from killing him if you ask me to. But he will still be punished."

"And why are you stepping up to be my avenger?"

"Because every lady should have one. And one as pretty as you shouldn't cry. Ever."

"Lady?"

Sasuke nodded, his desire made evident in the smoldering look he was giving her.

"Sasuke, you know I just kind of had my heart broken I'm not really ready for-"

He shushed her with his lips.

"Don't tell me. I know. I already know what you're going to say. I accept it. I won't ask for a relationship. That wouldn't be the Temari style if you did it any other way. I'd expect no less from you. But for these next five minutes, you are just mine. You have to let me have you to myself."

He'd used her words. Sasuke had just used the words she'd said to him in the tunnel of love.

Temari smirked at him.

"Five minutes huh?"

"Give or take a few minutes." he nodded, a fiery desire burning in his black gaze.

"On one condition."

"Yes."

"You let my damn hands go so I can touch you too."

Laughter entered his eyes. He didn't laugh out loud but she knew she'd amused him.

"My pleasure." he replied as he took his hand from hers.

"Exactly my idea." Temari retorted.

Suddenly she flipped him.

"Looks like I've won now." she smirked.

He stared up at her, the heat in his eyes still evident as he grinned, "I wasn't going to tell either way. Your tears are my secret."

Temari smiled. "That's good. Because I'd have to beat your face in if you had told."

"What and damage my cute baby face?"

Her words again.

Apparently the Uchiha was a good listener. And he was listening to her well enough to remember her words.

For some reason that pleased Temari to no end.

"Yeah, it is a cute baby face." she said pinching his cheek.

Sasuke frowned, "Stop talking. If I'm on bottom that doesn't keep you from having to kiss me. No getting out of that."

"Like I wanted to."

He reached forward and pulled her to him, crushing her lips to his in a hot wet kiss.

Temari gripped her thighs around him tighter.

She reached one hand down to his face.

"Thank you."

He nodded.

Grinning she felt much like her old self again.

It was then that Temari realized the position she'd placed herself in. She was straddling a hard and horny Sasuke Uchiha.

She teasingly ground herself against the tent in his pants.

He gripped her hard and pulled her lips back to his in an almost desperate kiss.

Make that a very horny Sasuke Uchiha.

Pulling back she smirked at him as she drug her hand down his slightly quivering body.

"Let's see what all I can do to you in five minutes, Sasuke."

He grinned at her. She'd said his name.

"Give or take a few minutes." he replied just as she gripped him.

Reveling in the feel of the touch he'd wanted, the touch he'd dreamt of, the touch he couldn't forget and reveling in the presence of the girl who did it all to him Sasuke pulled Temari to him again attacking her mouth with heated kisses.

As he kissed her Sasuke resolved himself. She wanted to wait. He could wait too. She would eventually get over that idiot across the hall and when she did… the fiery Temari would finally be his.

Hope you guys all loved it and i will be back on Sept. 14th okay? (if you didn't read the AN it says why.) See ya then! Thanks! FanggirlX
