Rules of Seduction - A Shikatema AU

Chapter 9

"Can I come in?" Temari asked when she appeared in front of his door.

"Yeah, of course. You don't have to ask if you wanted to" he said, a smile visibly drawn on his face.

"I wanted to discuss something"

"What do you want to discuss?"

"I read the Konoha's constitution and jurisdiction" for a whole day she spent her time reading all the constitution and jurisdiction of Konoha courts, she sneaked to Shikamaru's office room earlier that day.

"I'm sorry, constitution and jurisdiction for??" Shikamaru was confused about what she was talking about.

"Criminal acts. I—I have to confess that I tried to trick you, seduce you, and kill you"

"Uhm what? What are you talking about?"

"All those actions, my actions, my attempts, can be punishable under Konoha laws. You can throw me away now, outside of your mansion, and send me back to my village"

"And why the hell would I do that?"

"Can you be fucking serious here?" She frustratedly said to him.

"I'm serious! Honestly, I really start thinking that you're pranking me right now. Your words don't make any sense!"

"I'm going to tell you a story so listen carefully, okay? At first, I hated you. Are you aware of that?"

"Yeah, I know"

"Okay good, then I come up with this crazy shit idea. I'll seduce you, make you sign all the papers under my name to claim your fortune, and then kill you, leaving all your wealth to me"

"Okay"

"What the fuck do you mean okay? Are you not frightened?"

"No"

She's now frustrated with his answer "You're impossible"

"You see, the seducing part is really convincing and effective. You literally got me on my knees for like 3 days? But the killing part is I'm not sure of, because as you can see, I'm very much alive today"

"What do you mean?"

"You've been here in my mansion for more than a month now Temari, I should be dead by now if you really followed your plan. Do you realize that?"

"Touché" She forgot he's a fucking genius, he got her this time.

"Why you couldn't do it? Killing me? Tell me Temari? What stops you?"

She honestly doesn't know the answer or she's just too afraid to tell him.

"Tell me Temari!"

"Why you couldn't do it!"

"I fucking need some answers!"

"Temari"

She didn't answer after his set of questions, she couldn't. She's still in denial about her feelings and denial in how she lost in her stupid game. Shikamaru's eyes were visibly prying, pleading for her answer. Her hands were now shaking, her teal eyes focused on his dark curious eyes. His face was so close to hers, Temari unconsciously cupped his face and kiss him. She gripped his tomoeri (collar part of his yukata) so hard pulling him closer to her. She was shocked about what she did and pushed him away immediately.

Shikamaru was panting, he was almost out of breath.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't do that" She apologized

"No" He pursed his lips "Do you want this?" he whispered
