Not Everything's Troublesome

The two lovers walked casually as they entered through the double doors of a large building and up to the front desk, where they were met by a bubbly red-headed, young woman.

“Hello sir, how may I help you on this lovely evening?”

“Yes, we have scheduled for a room here just for tonight.” The man said in a monotone voice.

“Ok, and your name please?”

“Uzumaki. Naruto Uzumaki.” The woman flipped through the pages of names and reservations until she came across the name.

“Here we are. Naruto Uzumaki. Suite number 7. That’s on the top floor, elevators are to your right. Here are your room keys, if you need anything, just call room service and they’ll be there immediately. Enjoy your stay at Hotel Wind!” The red head said with a cheeky smile.

The couple walked away with a smile until they were safely in the elevator with the doors shut closed. The blonde woman standing next to the man sighed and rolled her eyes,

“Geez, thank goodness we are away from that girl.”

“She wasn’t that bad.” said the man with a pineapple shaped head.

“Come on, she was so fake! People like her irritate me.”

“A lot of people irritate you, Temari.” he said. At this point the elevator reached the top and the couple stepped out in search for their room.

“Tch, don’t start with me, Naruto.” She said as the man unlocked the room and opened the door, letting the moody woman enter. She plopped on the king sized bed as she looked around the room. “By the way, why did you use that idiots name for your own again?”  The man mumbled something about women and troublesome before setting the suitcase down next to the bed.

“I used Naruto’s name because if I were to use my own then the expenses from this trip would have gone to the Nara clan, which would be seen by both my mother and father who would then question me about them, and explaining them would be too troublesome.” Shikamaru Nara said.

“But why Naruto Uzumaki? Wont the same thing happen? except he will be the one to confront you instead of your parents?”

“No, because I went out of my way to make sure that the money would be taken out directly from his bank account, without his knowledge.”

“And how did you get into his account information?”

“There’s a reason I’m labeled as a genius.” The blonde just rolled her eyes. “Plus, Naruto’s so filthy rich right now, he probably wouldn’t even care or notice.”

“Heh, that’s right. He finally found out who his parents were the council let him receive their wills, right?” The Nara nodded, “Plus, didn’t his sensei leave him something?” Again the man nodded.

“Yes, once Jiraiya was presumed dead, he left quite a fortune to his student. Also, once Kakashi steps down as Hokage in a couple years, Naruto will get a good salary from that job.” Temari snickered.

“The little punks loaded, who would have guessed. A true rags-to-riches story.” Shikamaru just huffed,

“Yeah, he’s one lucky bastard.”

“Oh! And don’t forget about the Hyuuga girl.” Shikamaru gave her a confused look.

“Come on, don’t tell me you haven’t noticed… Their madly in love with each other!” The Nara just smiled. He’d forgotten how close the two had gotten over the years, but they had just started to go out with one another, nothing about their future could be confirmed yet. “Shikamaru, stop thinking about it so mathematically, she loves him, he loves her. It will happen, not even that pink haired slut could ruin things for them now. He’ll have a large portion coming from those Hyuuga snobs once he and the shy chick tie the knot.”

“I’d appreciate it if you wouldn’t talk so badly about my friends.” Even though Sakura wasn’t really classified as one of his good friends.

“Hey, she hangs out with the Ino girl, who I despise, so I don’t like her.”

“Ino just… doesn’t know how to control her mouth, she didn’t mean to call you a foreign whore.”

“oh really? Cause I remember her saying that the only way you could get any girl was if you paid them.”

“She said that because she was mad I was dating you.”

“Yeah, and I don’t remember you trying to stop her from saying anything either!” She said as she rouse to her feet, anger written all over her face.

“Isn’t this suppose to be our special night? I thought we came here to make love not war.” Shikamaru said trying to get her to calm down.

“Oh, I don’t plan on making any love to you now!”

“The only reason we are here is because my criticizing family and friends of our relationship and the trouble they’d cause, and your brothers literally trying to kill me.” He said calmly.

“No! don’t you even bring my brother’s into this! This is all about you not wanting your friends to know about us having sex!”

“That’s not it at all. Just calm down and think rationally for a change.” He said with a bit of an attitude himself.

“humph! Yeah, you are definitely not getting anything tonight.” Shikamaru started to get mad. It had been months since the last time he and Temari had hooked up, and damnit he was determined to get some tonight!

“huh, you think?”

“Yes! I bet you don’t even care either, it would probably be to troublesome anyways.”  Shikamaru was heated now, he’s usually not one to get mad, but when he does he really puts everything he has into it.

“I bet I could change your mind.”

“Ha! I bet you cant. If you really want me so badly, you will actually have to put some effort in.” The Nara stood up straight and took a deep breath, which had the sand ninja in front of him confused.

“Fine, you’re on.” Temari smirked and placed her hands on her hips.

“So what are you going to d- ouch!” She said as she received a painful poke in her side. “That hurt you jerk!” But again he poked her hard in the side. “Damnit Shikamaru, stop- OW!”

Finally she grabbed his hand from attempting to poke her again, and then grabbed his other hand, and slammed him against the wall. He glared at him but he didn’t try to move or escape. He just stared back at her with a lazy expression on his face. This only made her more mad- she squeezed his hands harder, but his expression never changed.
Feeling her anger rise to the limit, she growled at him. This cause his eyebrow to raise as if he were intrigued. She hated that look, it meant he was calculating her. She wanted to smack that look right off his face.

And she did.

Temari gave the lazy ninja a good smack right across the face. He didn’t move though, and his face remained the same. Angered, she slapped him again, but still his impassive face remained. She ran out of options. She didn’t know how to get him from starring at her with boredom. So she had to make him become un-bored. She did the only thing she knew that made him actually show emotion.

She kissed him. And kissed him hard.



That next morning Temari woke up in the arms of Shikamaru Nara. At first she cuddles up against him until realization struck.  ‘Damnit,’ she though, ‘I fell for his trap.’

Shikamaru gently ran his hand up and down her back, “I think you enjoyed yourself last night.” She refuses to look him in the face. “Just to let you know, I won your little challenge.” Temari only rolled her eyes.

“Yeah whatever.”

“Well, I could have made things go smoother.”

“What do you mean?”

“Lets just say, I like angry sex better.” She blushes terribly.

‘Strategic bastard.’

“…Not everything’s troublesome.” He said with a light blush on his own cheeks.
