Hey sorry about that little break there. I made the mistake of letting my 4 year old & her friend use my computer you can guess how that ended. My computer met the floor. But for being so awesome I am putting up 2 chapters tonight! Thank you guys for being so awesome.

I never really wanted you to see

The screwed up side of me that I keep

Locked inside of me so deep

It always seems to get to me

I never really wanted you to go

Temari lay on the bed staring up at the black ceiling. There was a lamp on the nightstand next to her but she didn't feel like turning it on in fact the dark was almost comforting. She had given up screaming at him a few hours ago and stopped trying get loose before that when she realized her wrist was starting to bruise. Last thing she needed was more bruises. It'd even been about an hour since she cried.

She just couldn't help herself she didn't want to cry she really didn't, it was such a sign of weakness just something she wasn't. Everything was just too much. She just hoped he didn't hear. Staring up at the ceiling she heard some footsteps down the hallway. Looking up she saw Shikamaru turn on the light a tray in his hands.

"You hungry?" He asked she looked at him, normally she would have turned down the food on principal but she knew it'd been days since she ate last she just couldn't hide her hunger anymore she nodded. He sat down on the bed with two plates each containing a sandwich and some chips. She looked down at the food her mouth almost watering before she had to ask.

"What's with the other plate?" She asked as she grabbed the sandwich he just shrugged.

"Thought you might like some company." He said she just shrugged, taking it as a yes he started eating. Some people would have of take the answer as cold but he knew better than anyone what it really meant.

They both sat there in an almost awkward silence each concentrated on eating the food in front of them. He couldn't help but watch in amazement as she finished the sandwich at a speed that'd make even Choji look like a slow eater. Noticing him watching her she looked down a slight red covering her cheeks. "Sorry was hungry." She said obviously embarrassed, he just shrugged have pulled out another sandwich for her.

"Figured you would be." He said handing it to her as she gratefully took it.

"When was the last time you ate?" He asked casually she looked down as if trying to figure it out herself.

"Ummm I guess it's been a few days." She said casually he nodded as they sat there the awkward silence engulfing them both again. Soon there was the soft sound of rain hitting the roof. The rain pattered lightly gradually increasing as they both looked at the window hopefully that would end the massive heat wave.

Temari had been lost in her own mountain of thoughts when he said something unexpected to snap her out of her thoughts.

"You know I'm not going to hold you against your will Temari." He said to her. She just gave him an 'Are you kidding me?' look holding up her handcuffed arm. "Troublesome woman I mean after you get better. You need to understand you were almost dead when I found you. I can't let you leave yet you're still too weak. You have not only the ANBU but all the rest of Konoha looking for you. Even if you can get passed them you still can't make it much farther." He said she opened her mouth to argue back but he held up a hand to stop her. "And don't argue with me I saw how much work it was for you to walk down that hallway." He said as he started to collect the dishes.

"Temari I don't know what you did or why. All I know is your one of the top ranked missing nin right now & everyone is out for you. At least stay until your back to full strength." He said standing up she looked at him confused.

"I'm a missing nin? Fuck I thought I was just dead!" She said suddenly now it was his turn to look confused.

"Yeah they say you took some documents & ran." He said looking he saw the look of angry grow across his face.

"That rat bastard. Guess now I really can't go back." She said glaring at nothing particular.

"What happened Temari?" He said this was making less & less sense as the day went on.

"Nothing." She said snapped quickly at him. He could tell she would have crossed her arms had that been possible and that meant there was no way of getting it out of her maybe that was the best for now. Maybe she'd warm up eventually till then he'd have to just endure the cold treatment.

"Fine you don't need to tell me but you need to stay and rest even you have to admit that you're way too weak to stand up to ANBU. Just a few more days I'll even help you with money or making a plan or whatever you need. Just don't do anything rash. Ok?" He said watching her he could tell that the exact details of the situation were sinking in as she nodded.

"Ok I'll stay." She said he walked over to uncuff her arm.

"You should really get some more rest. If you need anything I'll be in the living room." He said taking the tray of food and walking from the room.

"Thanks." She called out to him he just nodded. Maybe there was hope to warm her up yet.

What I really meant to say

Is I'm sorry for the way I am

I never meant to be so cold
