a/n: This is the second part...Hope you guys enjoy!!! I'm truly sorry for the typographical errors misspellings, and grammatical errors!!! Here you go!!!


Shikamaru and Temari: Why do I love him?

If you asked me what I found in him, I'm certain it won't be the dark raven pineapple shaped hair. To be honest, I don't even like it. It won't be his ebony eyes that seem to be lazy though I always know through them that he is thinking deeply. It won't be his muscular physique that attracted me to him. It's neither the very way he would smile nor the way he would take my hand. It is not the thought that he makes a point that we see each other everyday when I'm in Konohagakure. (I actually force him to show up.) I'm positively sure that it is not the way he plants a kiss on my lips or the way he would respond when I hug him.

He didn't attract me be losing on purpose in shogi so that I wouldn't be upset. It was not the way he would tell me it was going to be all right when he senses I'm a bit down. And it will not be the way he will promise me that I will be his till the end of time, but I want him to say it though. It was never the way he would treat me to lunch because I always force him to pay. It was not the way he would pretend he would not get hurt when I punch or kick him. It was not his brilliance that attracted me or his strategic plans and ideas. It isn't the way he would smirk when he figures out how to defeat an enemy. It is not the way he makes beating an enemy look like child's play. I know it's not he would use his kagemane to beat the enemy. It's not how he beats me in shogi. And definitely it is not his high I.Q. that attracted me to him.

I would say it was the way he would lay lazily under the clouds and not listen to any word I say. It was the way he would sleep peacefully while I yell at him for being disrespectful. It would be the way he would pretend dillydally despite that he had an important mission to handle. It would also be the way he would waste his day just by looking at the clouds. He made me love him by making me believe that I beat him in shogi though every time he concedes before his last move. It was the way she would unenthusiastically answer at my compliments for him. Definitely, I like the thought that he calls me his troublesome woman.

I was captivated by his all knowing yet laid back look that no matter how I angry I was would ignore me. He attracted me with his relaxed nature and easy-going character. He made me love him with his unbelievable calmness and logic. I love him for his rational and peaceful personality. I love him, what could I say. Shikamaru is my beloved lazy bum.


a/n: That's it for now!!! Chao!!!
