Thanks to "w.i.t.c.h fan in ut" for reviewing so frequently, as well as being the reason this story is up today. As I discussed with "w.i.t.c.h," this story was inspired by a certain person. More specifically, a thought about a person, which is written here :)

Anyway, hope you enjoy it.

He sat down, thinking.

He wished he could figure her out. If only they weren't in the middle of work, he would.

He sneaked a peek at her, eyeing her closely. She was a complicated woman. A troublesome, complicated woman.

She could be the most annoying person in the world at times, yet be the one he'd always look for.

She could be a cold, harsh woman but at the same time be a soft, caring girl as well.

She was a dangerous and powerful fighter, yet in his eyes she was the beautiful Suna princess.

Temari noticed his glaring, and lifted her eyebrow. "Yes?"

Shikamaru looked away. "Nothing."

"What were you looking at?" she asked, smirking.

He smirked back. "A pain in the ass."

She threw a pen at him, which he casually dodged.

She went back to work, and he attempted to distract himself from her.

Looking out the window, he began forming images with the clouds.

His mind however, had other ideas.

Shikamaru got bored of cloud watching quickly, and had to restrain himself from looking back at her.

When he lost his guard he turned around, seeing Temari perfectly poised, her legs crossed.

Shikamaru looked for a solid few seconds, before realising what he was doing.

He turned around quickly, blushing, while staring blankly back at the sky.

Shikamaru sighed. Jeez, he thought, staring at the sky.

Why couldn't you be more interesting than her?

End.
