[SHIKATEMA] Obvious (English Version)

Chapter 9 : Fast

Temari knew that one day she would be sent back to Konoha. About every three months besides, maximum 6. But it was routine. We send an ambassador to guarantee the alliance from one country to another, to deal with joint affairs, to organize events. Temari was still waiting for the opportunity to come up, grumbling that it was getting really late.

One night someone knocked on the door of his room. It was around 9 pm, which surprised the blonde. Nevertheless she opened the door, questioning Suna's shinobi about his coming. 

"A message for you Temari-sama." He greeted the woman conventionally before leaving as discreetly as arrived. 

She sighed, wondering who could send her a visibly personal order missive. Rolling out the paper, Temari's heart began to accelerate, the beating of his heart increasing to the rhythm of the reading of his words.

"I'm coming back from three to five days, come to Konoha, please, I need to talk to you."

Temari's face was completely distorted: she felt an immense wave of joy that overwhelmed her, unable to stop smiling, then her eyebrows furrowed and she pouted displeased, getting upset by her cold air in the message. In addition it sounded like a directive, an order and not a request. Despite the "please". Now she have to find an excuse to leave in a few days.

The door of the Hokage office opened once permission was granted. Four ANBU shinobi then entered, kneeling directly, still wearing their masks on their faces. Kakashi Hatake spoke:

- "Rise up, take off your mask Shikamaru."

He then complied. He got on his two legs and removed his mask as requested.

- "You left very long .. How did it go?

- Well. Finally, better than the last mission. We were able to gather a few more elements. We must inform Sasuke quickly, face to face. I think he will soon ask us to go elsewhere.

- All right, I'm sending a missive to come here. We will have to wait a little, this will allow you to rest a few weeks. You can leave."

The team then left the office, Naï, Reïji and Hori were delighted to have finished with this long mission that lasted three months. Especially since Hori was a father and a loving husband, he was planning to withdraw from ANBU. Reiji, 24, was finally able to relax in the hot springs of the country, drink in the bars and knit as much as he wants with the girls. That's what he explained to his teammates.

- "Finally the release.. I almost thought I was going to throw on you Nai.

- You're disgusting Reiji. Well, and you Shikamaru, what are you going to do?" Nai asked.

- I do not know. To go see Mirai I think, to read books, to play shogi. This kind of things..

- Annoying to die "she finished." Well, can we still see each other with Ino and the others do not?

- With Kiba you mean. Why are not you going to see him directly?

- Surely not ! It's up to the boys to take the first step.

- Women are really troublesome."

The discussion ended on leaving the red circular building. Three of the team dispersed quickly leaving Shikamaru alone. He also hurried home, dying to melt his body in the boiling water of his bathtub.

Naked in his bath, Shikamaru finally had his head calm to think. First, he would do a maid home. Because in three months the dust accumulates easily. Then he would go shopping. It was annoying but had to do it. He had decided to have his own independence for good reasons so now, had to assume. Finally, after organizing the end of his afternoon - it was around 15 o'clock - Shikamaru thought of Temari.
