AN: So this is another ShikaTema Fic. Enjoy The Protector
I have watched her from a far for quite sometime. Making sure she is safe. And she has been relatively safe since I left her, her only obstacle being her clumsiness. But when she does fall I will be there to catch her.
But we can never be happy as we once were. For she has no memory of me or the time we spent together. She doesn't remember where she came from or what she is. She has no memory of her past life at all.
We lead different lives, carry different secrets and burdens. We are simply different and we can never be the same again. Torture has endured in my soul ever since the day of the accident but she looks happy so I won't destroy it for her. It isn't her burden to bear.
My name is Shikamaru Nara. I am the protector of the one called Temari.
