THIS: ShikaTema, love is more then a village. It is my first published one.

Chapter one: Chunin exam

He waked up. Pillows ware all what was still on the bed after tonight. He just lied there, looking at her, as she sleeps. Her blond hair was free now, running also threw her face. Slowly and gently he removed it from her face. She smiled, while she was sleeping. She was still naked after this night. And he was naked too. He could not help his self and kissed her. She waked up quietly. "What is up? Is it the time already?" She asked but he stopped her, lying his finger on her mouth.

"Quiet dear. Do not worry. Are you sure, they would not find out?"

"Definitely. Is Kankurou's puppet." She suggested. And it was true. She made her brother do it and also promised her, he will not tell Gaara.

"It could get troublesome." He whispered in to her ear and after that he kissed her again and again. This time also pillows anded down on the flour. After and hour and half they stopped. It was already six month since they started dating.

"I love you." Sad Shikamaru.

"I love you too my dear." She whispered and fore a moment she played whit hears hair. He did not had tided it up into ponytail yet. "I should get going." She stood up and went into the bathroom. He lied there on his bed, thinking of her.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door. "I am up. I am up. I ill be right there." Shikamaru shouted. He dressed on his pyjamas and went open the door. "Oh. Hallow Kankurou. What are you doing hear?"

Kankurou looked at Shikamaru. "Hallo Nara. Is my sister hear?"

"Yes, she is." Shikamaru arced. If it was Gaara, he would denied. But why to Kankurou? He made that puppet, so they can visit each other and nobody notice. "By the way thanks. Your puppet is relay a peace of work."

"Yes I knew. I made it for her. So no one hear in Rain village found out, what you to are doing?"

"Yes, it is so. Thanks to you." She set as she was getting out from the bathroom. She had her kimono and piggy tails already tied. "So what happens? Why are you hear.?"

"Brother wants you tu came to the Suna immediately. "

"What? What for?" She shouted.

"I do not knew. But he wants you there. You should go now. I will puck your thinks and bring them after you."

"So quickly?" She was looking at him, not willing to understand or to go away. "But..."

"Hi is the Kazekage, sister. You should go."

"O.K." She sad. Her smile vanished from her face.

"Do not worry Temari. We are going to meat each other in five weeks." Shikamaru came to her and kissed her.

"Ja na" She smiled and kissed him back. " Do not die of laziness till then. Take care."

"Ja na. I love you."

She slowly disappeared from him and Kankurou turned to him. "I have to speak to you, so you are coming with me. I will pay the breakfast.

They both get out of shikamaru's room and at first, they went to pack her thinks. After they haw done it, they went to kebab restaurant.

"So what did you want to speak with me about Kankurou?" Shikamaru asked.

"I have a bed news for you. I did not want to say it in front of her, because than she sourly would not go beck to Suna." Kankurou looked upset. "Gaara decided, that it would be the best way, how to make an alliance between Water Country and us, if Temari marries Kidame Tori."

"What?! Can I stop him somehow?" Shikamaru shouted. All faces in the restaurant turned upon him.

"That is why a came hear. I have a plan. My old sensei is going to take care of your genin team, so do not wary. "

"O.K." Shikamaru sad but he did not feel wary well.

Chapter two: Happy bride

Finally she arrived to the Suna. She maid her way straight to Gaara's office. "So what was it, why I had to came hear so quickly?" She haw got in without knocking.

"Hallow Temari. How was your trip?" Gaara asked coldly as ever.

"Nice one. Try to guess who I ran into. That Lazy was there." She sad with a smile on her face. Not fake one, but the real one. It was really long ago when she smiled as this for the last time.

"I have a mission for you and only you."

"What is it?" She did not knew why, but her knees ware shaking.

"Tree days from now, you are going to marry the son of Kage from Water Country."

"What?!" She shouted angry.

"You are going to marry him."

"In your dream!" He shouted again and pointed on him with her fists. "I will not! Definitely not!"

"Yes, sou would. It is for peace and prosperity. Official announcement has been made."

"I am not a article, which you can change for another. I REFUSE!" She shouted on him.

"Kankurou told me you ware going to act like this. He also sad I should not do this. But this is for our village."

"I refuse." She sad again. She did not knew what t do now.

Four ANBU entered the office. "They are going to keep watching over you until you are married."

Temari wanted to scream, to cry, to run a way. But she did not have any paver left. The vision of her future as she imagined it just vanished. She just set down. She was not able even to refuse any more. Four ANBU took her to her apartment and stood on the guard outside.

The way took so long. For Shikamaru and also for Kankurou. He had hidden him into his puppet and so Shikamaru did not even sea a sun. But he had t do it. He had to get to her. He was relay happy, because Koankurou sad, he is going to help him.

"I am not doing this for you but for her. I have not seen he such happy like when is she with you, since our mother died." Kankurou sad back there in the restaurant.

"Yes, I knew. I fond out already. But would it not be to dangerous for you if he finds out?"

"No. Do not forget how well I knew him."...

Now, they ware nearly by the gate...

Chapter three: Rescue forces

Kankurou entered the office. "Was I right or was not?"

Gaara was standing there and looking out of the window. "Yes."

"So are you going to do that even after her reaction and what I told you?"

"It is for the village. It is her duty."

"So why are you so afraid that you even sent four ANBU with her?"

"She is short tempered."

"And you would not be if father told you something like that?!"

"Stop it!" Gaara yelled.

"You are even worse then him!"

"No I am not!" Gaara shouted.

In the wary same moment Kankurou opened the puppet and Shikamaru was there with them.

"What do you to think you are doing?! ANBU come in and arrest them." Five ANBU ran in to the office. "Escort Mr. Nara out of the village and keep Kankurou locked."

"As you wish." All of them sad.

Shikamaru was on her balcony. He was glad that he had send his shadow clone with Kankurou. No one will expect him on two places in one time.

Temari was lying on her bed. It was already two our after she was set into this "prison". She was crying. ANBU already stopped to try make her feel better. She felt so weak and not even useful. Her brother made a "think" of her. She hated his reasons. She hated her duty. And now she hated even her self, because she could not do anything about it! Suddenly she felt like if something grebe her feet. She looked there and saw a shadow. Her hart stopped breathing for a moment. She set up on her bed. "I wont to take a bath. Get out of the room!" She sad to those ANBU brother had send. They all left her.

Shikamaru came out from her bathroom. "Shika..." She cried on his chest.

He took her hand into his and with other one he pulled her closer to him. "Do not worry. I am hear." He whispered.

She erect her head towards his face. There ware teas in both of their faces.

"I will not leave you hear. You do not have to marry him. I swore." Some voice came from outside. "Quickly." He whispered and pulled her into the bathroom. He turned water on. "Now come with me." He took he hand and slowly they jumped on the roof. No one saw them. They ware lucky.

Gaara made a sand coffin and the ANBU was lying on the ground without any life in him any more. He asked the others to bring Kankurou. "I am really sad you helped them. Now I lost even you even Temari. Arrest him."

After ANBU and his brother left, Gaara stood up and had written a message to Tsunade.

"Dear Hokage-sama,

I have a bed news for you. My sister and that stupid lazy boy from Nara can, escaped to gather. They ruined a peace between Suna and Water country, so from now on they are both missing nins. Also Konoha should think of them that way or there would be a war.

Your sincerely

Kazekage"

Chapter four: Nice day ewer takes forever

It was seven month already after they become missing nins. But they still did not regret. They build themselves a wooden house in the non shinobi countries southern from Konoha. Shikamaru was coming back home. He brought tree rabbits with him. Temari was cooking a diner, when he rived.

He stood in the door. "Hi honey. I am home."

"Oh dear. Tree of them. Nice ketch. So what are we celebrating tomorrow?" She smiled teasing him.

"Do not make a fun of me honey. You knew I would do anything for you two." He came closer and kissed her. Than he lied his hand on her belly. Three more months and they will need a medic nin. He made sure he new the closest place where there ware some and no one knew them there. And as long as no one knew, they are free.

They ate a dinner and Temari washed the dishes. Than suddenly a knocking on the doors begun. Shikamaru stood up and opened the door. Few ANBU with both villages, Konoha and Suna, ware out there. He looked at them and shouted. "Run a way!"

She had not even stand and they ware already inside. To of the captured him, before he had a chance to make any jutsu. Others ran towards Temari. Her fan was I de corner and she did not have a time to get there. They captured them both.

"What do you think you are doing Asuma?!" Shikamaru shouted. He instinctual y find out that there was also his sensei. Asuma did not answer him and ignore it.

After a few hovers of jumping from tree to tree they arrived to the Konoha. ANBU took them straightly to Tsunade.

"It is my son. I refuse to listen what Kazekage says. He even should be not playing with his sibling's life." Nara Shikaku was jelling while Tsunade patiently set in her chair.

"Shikaku, I knew you do not like it, but what else should I do?! On one side, there is your son and on other, there is this village. What has a bigger value?"

He heard the same sentence for about hundred times. He hated it. His logic sad village, but his hard sad son. The door finally opened.

The small caravan entered the office. Father meted his son, who meted Tsunade. "Why can you not just leave us alone?!" He shouted on her.

Asuma behind him, twisted shikamaru's hand. "Who do you think you speak to?!"

"Asuma stop it!" Shikaku seemed vary angry.

"Shikaku, get out of hear. ANBU also. Kakashi, Asuma, you to stay." Tsunade stood up. When only five of them ware there, she turned towards the window. "It was rely bad for the village that you became a missing nin Shikamaru."

"There are also thinks which are more important then the village." Shikamaru admit. She did not expected it and she took a dim view of him.

"Why are you doing this Tsunade-sama? You know why we left but everyone are still ageist us. Why?" Temari stabbed at her.

"I do not need a war with Suna. Actually it has been three months since I have known your location. I kept him away as long as I could."

"Thanks." Shikamaru and Temari said in the same moment.

"Which month are you in?" Tsunade moved her attention back to Temari.

"The break through six and seventh month."

"Than I have to refuse to let you travel any farer until it is going to born. I will sand a letter to Gaara now. You to, take them to some safe point. Shizune, prepare a hidden flat with a guard for them."

Chapter five: Family

After Gaara had receive a letter from Tsunade, he started to be really angry. Who could ran away when he was nearby. He was so angry, he let Kankurou out of his home prison and he told hem to take a care about the village. Than on a big cloud of sand he flew to Konoha.

Tsunade was looking out of the window. She known he would come. When the cloud of sand appeared on the sky, he went on the roof.

Gaara landed next to Hokage. "Where are they?" He asked it not a wary friendly way.

"Follow me." She sad and went down and out of the building. People ware lucking on Kazekage. They ware whispering to each other. "Monster!" Also people in Suna secretly started to call him that name. Perhaps I should really think it out ones more. They came to a small building in the middle of Konoha and entered.

This was also a kind of home prison but at least they ware together. They new home was small, but they had al what they needed. Today Sakura and Choji came to pay a visit. Choji was playing Go with Shikamaru and Sakura helped Temari with sewing clothes for her child.

"I can not! Why do you always win?" Choji is little bit out of mood.

"Do not take it so hard. Look at that! Just look at that! Where does it came from? Temari, I newer thought you can be so gentle and make something like that." Sakura pointed on a baby cap with a violet blooms on it. The door opened.

Tsunade opened the door and Gaara went in followed by her. Tsunade did not tell him, why he stopped them hear and did not send them to him. Hi gazed on Temari. He immediately found out, something was not right. "Are you..."

"Do not gaze on me. There is nothing we can speak bout any more." Temari stood up and the cap fell on the floor. She quickly went upstairs.

"Sorry." Shikamaru mumbled. "She is just..." And ran after her. "Temari pleas. This is our chance to become free again. Or you wont this kind of life for our child." He layed his hands on her shoulders.

She sadly looked at him. "As you say dear." They both got back downstairs.

"Sorry. We have to go now." Sakura and Choji escaped. Gaara was looking up the stairs, until those two came back.

"Sorry for leaving you waiting." Shikamaru looked at Tsunade.

It is to late to change who would she marry. But what shell I do now? I do not like to take her back, but Kankurou will be mad if I do not. And if I take her back... Everyone knows what she made. They will think that I am not strong. I do not want to lose them both. I can not even led her stand in Konoha, because all of them will say, Konoha is a exile for Kazekage's sister. He was standing there for few moments. "Temari, I am sorry. I did not realised how serious this things with love are. Will you come back to Suna?"

All three of them stand there. This was the last thing they expected from him.

"But leas newer ever go against my will again." He sad.

What happened to him? Where is the rub? shikamaru's brain could not stop working.

Temari was looking on her brother. She did not knew what to say. So she just watched him.

Tsunade raised. "So now is everything right. Gaara pleas come with me." They left thous two alone there...

THE END
