~Troublesome Women~

 

 

“Hey,” she whispered as she gently pushed on his arm trying to rouse his sleeping form. Sighing she discovered it wasn't working so she shoved him…hard. “Wha…Aaahh!” Sitting upright, now on the floor, he rubbed his head glaring at the girl peering over the edge of the bed. “I tried to wake you, but you wouldn't get up.” Sighing his defeat he stood up, “what do you need, now?” Smiling as innocently as possible she twisted her body like a little girl, “um, Ichiraku ramen with the works.” She gleefully says while clasping her hands in front of her. “WHAT?! That's in Konoha…THREE DAYS AWAY!”

 

 

Knock Knock KNOCK! “Alright, alright, I'm coming. Geeze troublesome..” Shikamaru opened the door to `his' room for the night. “Breakfast will be served soon.” Rubbing his head Shikamaru looked around, “um ok.” Shaking his head as the man left, he quietly closed the door making his way back to the bed. Right as he was about to climb in something caught his attention, *running water* he thought. Then smiled “Heh, I could use a shower too.” He made his way into the bathroom and quietly closed the door. Facing the shower he could make out the silhouette of a beautiful young women, who apparently was rinsing her long hair since she made no acknowledgment of his arrival. Undressing, quickly, he climbed into the shower surprising the young girl as he wrapped his arms around her waist. Relaxing into him she allowed him to wash her, amongst other things.

“So I hope you slept well?” Kiyoshi asked his guests, looking around at the four who nodded their approval, “good. I am glad to hear it.” Smiling, Kiyoshi's gaze lingered a little too long on Haru, at least to Shikamaru's liking. Sucking his teeth he turned to his sensai, “Sensai shouldn't we be heading back?” Asuma wiped his mouth as he stood from the table, “yes, Shikamaru you're right.” Bowing down he replied, “Thank you Prince Kiyoshi for your hospitality, it was most appreciated.” Standing himself the prince offered his hand out to Haru, smiling she accepted his offer even after hearing Shikamaru `humph'. Walking down the halls to the front door he never once left her side, she did how ever long let go of his hand, not holding it any longer than to get up from the table. Once reaching the door he turned to her, took her hands in his and kissed both. Blushing from the contact she tried to pull away only making him hold onto her harder. “Haru.” Stilling at his words she looked up to see his eyes were set with purpose, “I have fallen for you, and I would love it if you stayed here with me and became my wife.” Standing with her mouth agape, before she could speak she pulled away from the prince. “I've put up with just about enough,” taking in a breath Shikamaru glared the prince in the eye tilting his head he hissed out, “If you come on to my girl one more time, I won't be held accountable for my actions!” Haru grabbed a hold of Shikamaru's arm desperately trying to pull him back out of the prince's face. “Shika! Stop it!” Finally the prince put his hands out in front of him and closed his eyes, “I'm sorry, but I wasn't talking to you.” He glared back at Shikamaru with just as much hate. Everyone but the two sweat dropped.

“Hey Phoenix, where's Kankuro?” Ryu asked. “I sent him out for ramen.”

 

 

~Meanwhile~

 

“Damn woman and her fucking cravings!” It starts to rain “DAMN IT!”

 

 

Now it was Asuma's turn to hold Shikamaru back. “Let me go, I'm gonna kill him! Prince or not!” Choji sat back and watched the show, snacking on a bag of BBQ chips. Haru was redder than her hair, “Shikamaru please calm down.” Kiyoshi turned once more to Haru, “forgive my forwardness, but I have been entranced by your beauty and your independence. You are just the young women I have been looking for to be at my side.” Shaking her head, “I'm sorry Prince Kiyoshi, but my heart belongs to Shikamaru. I do not share your feelings, my place is by his side.” Bowing politely she proceeded to exit the door leaving a stunned prince and her team behind. Smiling he turned to the now quiet Shikamaru, “you are a lucky man. To have a woman as she to share your life with, I envy you.” Shikamaru sighed and without looking at the prince, “you have know idea how lucky I am,” now looking at him, “I'd lay my life on the line, no questions, just to see her smile.” With that he threw his hand up in a half wave, walking out the door. The prince smiled and turned to Asuma, “I thank you and the leaf for everything, safe journey home.” Asuma a little stunned at everything that transpired could only half smile and rub the back of his head muttering a thank you. Nodding his head to Choji the two left to catch up to Haru and Shikamaru to start their journey home.

 

~3 days later~

 

“Well hello. How may I help you, today?” Sitting down at the bar, “I need 10 of your specials, to go.” O_O *wow he must be a friend of Naruto's* “Sure thing.”

 

“Boy I am so glad to be home.” Haru stretched her arms above her head. “Hey Haru, Shikamaru welcome back!” Naruto yelled as he ran up to the two. “When did you guys get back?” Haru thought for a moment, “about two hours ago, I think.” Naruto smiled, “well hey I was meeting Sakura and some others at Ichiraku's want to join?” She turned to Shikamaru who shrugged his shoulder's in a `I don't care' way. “Sure Naruto, we'd love to.” “Great! Let's go.” The hyper blonde exclaimed, leading the way to the ramen bar. Walking into the bar they heard the owner talking to a customer about some guy buying ten orders to go and then left in a hurry. He then looked up to see his number one customer, “Hey Naruto! How many bowls today?” Scratching the back of his head he smirked, “the usual.”

“Phoenix, just where did you send Kankuro for ramen?” Ryu asked. “Konoha.” She replied as if it was right down the road. “PHOENIX! You sent him to Konoha for ramen? Are you serious?” Her brother yelled throwing his hands in the air for empathizes. Turning to look at her brother, tears in her eyes, “I'm so..sorr…ry I ju..ust wa…anted ramen.” She began to wail. Ryu began to panic and tried to comfort her, but it was too late. Temari came bursting through the door, “What did you do?!” She yelled at her boyfriend who was looking as if he was about to pass out. “I…I…didn't mean..” “GET OUT!” she yelled to him. Once he left the room Temari turned to Phoenix, who was now dry eyed and smiling, “so what's for dessert?”

 

Walking in tired and hungry he placed the packages on the table. He pulled a box out and went over to the girl on the couch watching t.v. “Here woman.” He said as he placed the box in front of her. Smiling she took the box and laid it down, turning her attention to the t.v. once more. Quirking an eyebrow he asked, “what? Aren't you gonna eat?” She turned back to him and smiled, “I already ate.” Kankuro dropped to the floor with his leg twitching. Phoenix couldn't help the laugh that exploded out of her mouth. Sitting up and glaring daggers at his girlfriend he ground out, “what. Is. So. Funny?” Placing a hand over her mouth, she steadied her breathing and answered by getting down on the floor and scooting over to sit in between his open legs, “I love you. Thank you.” His angered died in his throat due to the kiss. Pulling apart he looked her in the face she was smiling, that smile, “No! Whatever it is, no!” She sat back and began to pout. Turning his head he tried to sound mad, “No Phoenix.” She leaned in closer and whispered in his ear. His eyes shot open and he turned his head so fast you would have thought it was gonna come off. Smirking at the sight of his girlfriend smiling softly at him he growled out as he approached her, “now that request I am more than happy to full fill.”
