These things that happened...
She can never go back. It took her a while, but she began to live again...

"I will not be training you today." Shikamaru said with his hands in his pockets.

Although all the members of his team were chunin now and could train on their own. Shikamaru trained them every now and then to help them to develop their Jutsu's and to help their teamwork improve.

"Why not?" Mirai exclaimed in outrage as well as confusion.

"He's probably too lazy." Chon mumbled under his breath, but Shikamaru ignored him.

"Because it's good experience for you to train with other Jonin. They can teach you things that they specialise in. I can't teach you the stuff I specialise in since its a clan Jutsu." Shikamaru shrugged.

"But..." Mirai started, but a certain individual interrupted her.

"No buts my youthful student. Today I will be training you!" Lee exclaimed as he appeared next to Shikamaru who was struggling to contain the smirk that was forming on his mouth.

Chon's eyes widened as his face turned to one of horror.

"Not him." The three genin gasped together in horror.

"No! Shikamaru-sensei, please! Anyone, but him! I promise I'll behave myself!" Chon cried out as he latched himself onto Shikamaru's leg while he begged.

"Get off me." Shikamaru said as he pried Chon of his leg and handed him to Lee.

Lee took the kid and placed him next to his teammates again while Chon cried silently on the inside. Knowing how gruelling Lee's training is from first-hand experience.

"Enjoy!" Shikamaru called out amused to no end as he waved at them while he walked away, not able to contain his evil smile anymore.

"Hey, lazy ass! You're supposed to teach them yourself, not try and kill them." A woman's voice laughed as she entered the clearing in the forest.

"It's good for them troublesome woman." Shikamaru replied back.

Chon turned to the source of the voice. His eyes widened and the world around him faded away. It was her. The monster if his nightmares. He watched her with wide eyes as hatred started blinding him. He walked slowly in her direction.

"Chon?" Mirai asked confused.

Chon ignored her as his eyes narrowed in hatred, not wavering from his target. He will kill her. He grabbed his kunai as his face darkened.

"I will kill you!" Chon exclaimed in rage as he dashed towards Temari.

Temari turned her head in confusion and saw the kunai in the boy's hand. Her face turned focused as she widened her stance and stood ready to protect herself. She couldn't grab her fan or a kunai because she didn't bring any of them with her. However, as he stretched his arm for a killing blow he was stopped. Lee grabbed him in a chokehold from behind but didn't restrict his air in the slightest while Shikamaru stood next to him with one hand in his pocket and the other one gripping his arm with the Kunai. His shadow ready to catch the boy at any moment.

Temari relaxed and stood to her full height. She was confused why the boy would want to kill her, but not surprised. She did terrible things in her past...

"It was you! You did it!" Chon screamed as tears brimmed in his eyes.

"What did I do?" Temari asked, knowing he was a victim from one of her despicable acts.
