Summary
"Tchk!"
or 'Temari is a vibrant, terrifying badass and Shikamaru is helpless to it'OR 'I needed this story to exist so intensely that I brought it into being'
Physical prowess has never been Shikamaru’s strong suit – he knows it, the Hokage knows it – his strengths lie elsewhere.
Temari, on the other hand...Maybe that’s why he was so enraptured by such a display of power.
‘That’s gotta be why,’ he reasoned with himself as the sounds of creaking wood and snapping branches brought him back to the present.Bookmarked by Zenith2010

Summary
Temari would be leaving this village for a while, come morning. She wasn’t sure when the leaf had began to feel so much like home to her, and the thought was…aggravating.
Shikamaru slowly, lazily, blinked an eye open and looked at her. She could see the long grass, tickling his cheek. He ignored it, instead offering a crooked smile in her direction, accompanied by a teasing “I know you’re going to miss me."
She smacked him lightly on the arm, mostly out of reflex. She didn’t deny it, though.
