*~*My POV*~*

It's been about a month since Temari moved in with Shikamaru and his family. She's really been having fun in the leaf village and made some new friends. She's really been fitting in compared to before when everyone avoided her because they were afraid of her. But now people have just gotten used to her temper. She let out a huge sneeze as she sat up. Her eyes landed on the alarm clock that didn't go off for some reason " Oh no...! I'm gonna be late for school!! " She said frantically getting out of bed.

She took a shower, and then gets dressed, pulling her shirt over her legs, and trying to put some pants on her arms. She stumbled around the room. " Hey, what's going— ... on in here " Shikamaru said, opening the door to see Temari dressed very weirdly. " What are you doing? " He asked. " I'm gonna be late for school! " She said in a nasally voice, trying to put on some shoes. " Temari, hey... hey wait " He said, he let her sit down on the bed. " Uh-Huh. What is it? " She asked. " I need you to listen to me very carefully. Because this is very important " He said.

She nodded. " It's Saturday " He said. " Which means no school today " He said. " Really? " She asked. He nodded. " Yes " He nodded. He placed his hand on her forehead. " Your sick. " He said. She shakes her head. " No I'm not " She said. " Just calm down. And relax for a bit. I'm gonna see if I can get ahold of my mom to see what to do " He said, then walked out the room. " It's.. it's really hot... " She complained. A little later he comes back into the room. " Uh, okay my mom said that you should lay down under the covers to sweat out the fever " He said, opening the door.

He found her, in her underwear trying to strip herself of that. He blushed. " Woah! What are you doing?! " He asked, covering her with a jacket. " But it's hot Shikamaru! " She complained breathlessly. He shakes his head at her. " Just lay down okay? " He said. She nodded, sniffling. She lays down on the bed then he covered her. " But it's hot!! " She complained. " I know. But just endure for a bit. Your fever will be gone soon " He said. He went to make some soup like his mom said.

Then he comes back, he sat on the bed next to her and placed the soup on the bedside table then helps her sit up. He fed her, then swaps out the towel on her head. " Alright take a nap " He said. " Okay... " She lays down.

~A little later~

He checks her temperature. It has went down from earlier. He let out a sigh. " Man. Your pretty nice when your sick " He chuckled. She slightly whimpered. He frowned. " This fever probably feels really bad huh? " He asked with a sigh. I wonder how she got sick... He thought.

~Yesterday~

Temari was walking through the leaf village. It was pretty boring now and she didn't feel like staying inside all afternoon. School let off early for some reason and she had nothing to do before dinner. She saw a weapons shop. " Ooh! I can get some new kunai! " She smiled. Then she walked inside, but when she opened the door, water fell from the top and onto her. Ice cold water to be exact. It was a trap set up, it was supposedly meant for someone else. But she ended up being the brunt of the joke.

" Hahahah!! Man you should see the look... on... your face... " The boy was laughing, until he realized two things. One, that this girl was not in fact the person he was hoping to fall for the prank. And two, that she was extremely pissed right now. " You...!! " She said through gritted teeth. " Now I know what your thinking, and the answer may surprise you " He said nervously. She grabbed her fan, drying herself off with one swing. " I'm gonna freaking kill you!! " She said.

She ran after him, until finally catching him and being stopped from killing him by Iruka. She glared at him. " Your lucky " She said before storming off.

~Back to now~

Since she'd been exposed to cold air right after being splashed with cold water, she ended up getting sick. " Shikamaru... " She whispered. He looked over to her. " Shikamaru... where's Shikamaru..? " She asked. " I'm right here Temari " He said. " Shikamaru... Shikamaru.. " She said holding her hand out. He grabs her hand, she holds his tightly. Like she really didn't wanna let go. Like she would die if she did. " What is it? " He asked. " Make a promise. A promise that you can't ever break " She said. He nodded.

" Promise to never... " She didn't finish her sentence. She'd fallen asleep. He slightly chuckled. " Okay. I promise to never " He jokes. He leaves to give her some quiet time to sleep, carefully closing the door.

~The next night~

Shikamaru was fast asleep. She couldn't stay here. Not anymore. Not after what happened. That was so embarrassing. He'd probably never return her feelings anyways. She was all packed up now. She'd left a photo of the two, he seemed annoyed by her in the picture, when she was just curious as to what he was doing. Someone snapped the picture, thinking that they were a couple. Temari really liked it so she asked for it. She smiled sadly while placing a note in his hand then kissed his cheek.

She jumped out the window, now all ready to leave. " Sorry " She whispered while tears roll down her cheeks. She quickly left the village gates.

~The next morning~

Shikamaru woke up, before his alarm as usual. But he looked to his right and she wasn't there. He lifted his hand to find the note that she'd left.

Dear, Shikamaru

I know that I'm a drag to you. So I won't be in your hair anymore. I've gone away for a while. But, don't worry we're still friends. And I'll always send you letters about how I'm doing so don't worry about me at all. I'll be perfectly fine. Just promise to write me back.

—Temari❣️

" Ugh. What a drag " He sighed, going to the shower. He gets dressed. " Shikamaru your up. Good. " Yoshino smiles. " No time for breakfast mom! " He said rushing out the door. " What happened? " She asked. " Temari ran away! I have to go catch her! " He said. " Okay!! " She said. " That boys in love and he doesn't even know it " Shikaku sighed.
