Chapter Three
Temari was inside the bedroom of the inn she was staying, dressing up for the meeting. Her four pigtails, black kimono, red sash, fingerless gloves, forehead protector… yep, she’s ready. Instead of bringing that big and heavy fan she always carry around, she just brought a smaller fan because the weather’s hot.
*Tok tok*
That must be lazy. But there’s still an hour before the meeting, though. What’s he up to? Temari thought. She turned at the door and opened it slightly. She peeked from the small indent and saw Shikamaru with that bored expression of his.
“Aren’t we going yet? I’m getting bored of waiting.”
“It’s still one hour earlier. Plus, you’re always bored.”
“Tch. Shut up. I really meant to show up earlier ‘coz my mom wants to see ya.”
“What? Why?”
“I dunno. Just hurry up ‘kay?”
“Fine. Come in first. I’m gonna get some stuff.”
Shikamaru came inside and sat on the sofa, waiting for Temari. He looked around the living room, and saw a small black box in the shelves near him. He got curious and went to it. He opened it slightly and peeked at the hole.
“Getting curious, crybaby?” Temari asked, making Shikamaru jumed in surprise and raised his hands, not wanting her to hurt him for touching her things. Temari just laughed at him and told him that she won’t hit him. Shikamaru sighed in relief.
Temari got the box and said, “You wanna know what’s inside this box? Well, it contains some photos of me and my mom,”opening it and handing the photos to Shikamaru.
“Wow. You really look like your mom.”
“Everybody says that.”
“You’re so beautiful,” Shikamaru said silently that Temari wasn’t sure if he heard him right or not.
“What?”
“Oh… uh, nothing,” Shikamaru said, looking away from Temari.
“Well, I’ve got everything I need now. Let’s go.”

Temari’s POV
“Ino! What about Hinata? She said she’s free! C’mon, girl!”
“Okay, shut up Sakura. I also invited Tenten and Shiho.”
“Oh? That’s great! But I really wish we could invite Shizune too… it’s just that she’s helping Lady Tsunade with her works so, I guess she couldn’t come.”
“So that set—TEMARI-SAN! SHIKAMARU!” Ino calls out to me, waving her hands frantically. I smiled and waved back.
“Hi Ino and Sakura, long time no see,” I said to the girls in front of me.
“Ino, Sakura,” Shikamaru said as he nonchalantly waved his hand.
“What’re ya guys up to?”
“Well, we are having a girls’ get-together at Yakiniku tonight, and we are talking about who to invite to come with us.”
“Yeah… oh, wait! We should invite Temari-san too, Ino!”
