Temari’s Valentine Special By Bug (lil sis of Shadow)

In Suna Village there have been many occurrences. Kankuro has yet another idea but isn’t sure how to go about doing it.

“You want us to have a Valentines Day?” Temari asked her brother.

“Yeah,” he said, “but how do we have a Valentines Day?”

“Hmm… well, I don’t know. Ask someone else.” She said.

(Lightbulb. Idea.) “Oh, thanks Temari! I’ll see ya around!” So Kankuro left.

“Gaara! I need your help!! PLEASE!!!” Kankuro yelled at his brother.

“If you leave me alone then fine.” He said without a care for what his brother wanted.

“Fine. Okay, I need you to go to Konoha tomorrow.”

“What for?”

“Tell Shikamaru that we are celebrating Valentines Day. He should give Temari a Valentines gift.” Kankuro knew Shikamaru and Temari were in love. Though neither would admit it yet.

“When is this ‘Valentines Day’?” Gaara ventured.

Kankuro thought. “It’s on Saturday. So he has five days. Now go tell him.” Kankuro was way too excited for his own good.

In Konoha with Gaara

“… on Saturday.” Gaara just finished telling Shikamaru what Kankuro wanted him to know.

“… okay.” Shikamaru wasn’t excited. At least he didn’t show it.

So Gaara left and Shikamaru was thinking. What could I do for Temari for Valentines? Hmm… I guess I could do that, cause I have 5 days to learn it and perform it. That’s what I’ll do. So he got up and went off to work on his Valentines idea.

Back at Suna Village on Valentines Day

“There. Perfect!” Temari just finished wrapping some chocolates for Shikamaru along with a beautiful red rose.

She was about to go to Konoha when Kankuro stopped her.

“So, what cha doing?” he asked.

“None of your business. Now get out of my way.” She wanted to see Shikamaru ASAP, and Kankuro wasn’t helping.

“That’s for Shikamaru, isn’t it? I heard he might be coming here.” He added.

“Shut up! I told you it’s none of your business!” Though she was curious if Shikamaru really was coming.

“Oi, you have a guest Temari.” Gaara said quickly so he could go away to somewhere peaceful.

“Really? I wonder who.” She glared at Kankuro. “You’d better run before you have no legs.”

“Umm… bye Temari!” He said fleeing. Kankuro didn’t want to see the consequences, especially when she puts up that kind of threat.

Temari hastened to the door.

“Yes, who—“she was stunned. Shikamaru was there waiting at the door.

“Sh-Shikamaru! Umm…” she couldn’t believe he was actually there. Shikamaru really came.

“I heard you were celebrating Valentines so I have something for you.” he said as he came in with a guitar and sat on the couch in the room.

“This song is for you.” he gestured Temari to sit down. Then he began.

A/N: Song by Plain White T’s called Hey There Delilah. I took the song and changed a few lyrics to fit. Song credit and original lyrics credit to Plain White T’s.

“Hey There Temari”

Hey there Temari
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me (X4)
What you do to me

Hey there Temari
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with ninja work
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Temari
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me (X4)

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But I would see you everyday
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Temari I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Temari
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be a chuunin
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Temari here's to you
This one's for you

“Aishteru.” Shikamaru whispered in Temari’s ear.

Temari was speechless. There was only one thing she could say, “I love you too!”

Temari hugged Shikamaru. She was happy. So was Shikamaru. “How troublesome.”
