One person needed courage to face the past. Another person needed effort to make a dream come true... It's been a few years after the great shinobi war and there's finally some peace in the world. But peace is only an illusion, a calm before the storm. Temari was send to Konoha to attend some business but instead she got sent on a mission to fill someone else's selfish void. What happens when that mission goes horribly wrong? What will happen when the world's peace start crumbling apart, leaving only heartbreak and pain in its wake? xXx (I do not own any of the Naruto characters :P Mashimoto owns them)

Just a couple of stories I randomly wrote down. Enjoy!

How would they react on random situations?

Most could see them as business partners, that nothing would spark between them. Some see them as normal people who'd go out as 'friends'. What people physically see about them was enough, but they actually don't have the slightest idea of the events that occur when the lights are off, or if they are off their sights. What do they do when they see each other in the middle of the bridge leading to their respective villages? What happens when no one is looking at them? What happens when they are alone with each other? What happens when they are trapped in their own world? No one knows but them.

Shikamaru thought that it can't be help to work all night till the sun rise... with her.

They all grown up after the Chunin Exams. When they meet up they realize their feelings. Which isn't a good start when they are working together.

Did I ever tell you that my life was normal? If I did, then I'm 100% sure that I was wrong. Being the only girl in the family was not an easy task. Neither was being the 4th Kazekage's daughter, the 5th Kazekage's older sister and one of the best ninjas of Sunagakure. But hell, who would've thought that my wedding will cause such problems?

In this story, Shikamaru discovers new hidden feelings for the person he has to keep safe, Temari, The Princess of the Sand. He tries to enter in the iced heart of Temari but she wouldn't make it easy. Maybe she'll become the reason to make the always-bored Shikamaru change. Hope you like it!!!
