   Summary

   A few months after Naruto’s wedding, Temari finally returns to Konoha. The tension between her and Shikamaru is impossible to ignore. Both of them have smart mouths, fast lips, and neither is willing to back down. A short one-shot about how their troublesome relationship began.

   Not quite M, but it's suggestive?
