I don't own Naruto...unfortunately


Troublesome Woman

This was the most troublesome mission he had ever been on

Even if he was a genius

He shouldn't be on the ANBU squad

He'd rather be sleeping or watching the clouds

He looked at his arm

The tattoo proved that he was the personnel weapon of the Hokage

So very troublesome

And this mission was to rescue a Suna kunoichi

From an ambush she didn't even know was happing

Even more troublesome was the woman herself

He hadn't seen her for almost a year

Not since she had last come to visit him

They had been in love

But complications had arisen including the Sound Wars

He still loved her

And it was still troublesome

He couldn't get her out of his mind

Then he saw her

She was standing in a clearing

Sipping a cup of water

Unaware that she was completely surrounded by Sound ninja's

He scowled

So very troublesome

She finally realized that she was surrounded

But it was too late

There were too many of them

Not even her fan could blow them away

He sighed and formed some simple hand seals

Jumping out of the tree he landed beside her

She looked very shocked to see him

Then the ninja's were about to attack

But none of them came

All of them were standing like him even had the same hand seal

He laughed

' How do you like my Kage Mane Jutsu?'

' Now time to say bye bye'

He reached down and pulled a kunai knife out of his holder

And put it too his neck

They all did the same

' What are you doing idiot!'

Snarled Temari

' You'll be killed too!'

Shikamaru smiled

' Mines blunted'

And pulled it across his throat

The sound Nin's fell to the ground

He dropped the knife

And turned to Temari

' Did you miss me?'

' Yes I did'

Her answer made him smile

' Welcome back to Konoha, troublesome woman'

She opened her mouth to retort but was silenced by his lips covering hers

He whispered I love you against her lips

Then pulled away and smiled

Taking each other's hand they began to walk back to the village

He just hoped that she would answer his next question with a yes
