Temari couldn't believe what had just happened, Shikamaru had taken her in his arms and apparently didn't want to let go of her. Normally she would push them away, ah there it usually was, it wasn't like usual, as if Gaara or Kankuro took her in the arms, which was extremely rare anyway. No, that was different, it was nice. It felt good, like she'd finally got home after many years. It was something everyone wanted, something they longed for. It was a feeling she had never felt before. Security, it was said, a feeling that didn't hurt, but good and she wanted more of it. She returned the hug shyly, slowly closing her eyes and resting her head on his chest. It felt so wonderful, deep down she wished that this moment would never end, that the two of them would just stand here and not let go of each other.The sun went down slowly, the sky turned from a dark blue to a light pink. But slowly she began to freeze, although the young woman was used to the freezing cold, at night it could get very cold in the desert, and she began to tremble in the warming person who held her tightly in her arms. Actually that was no wonder, the trees in Konoha had lost their leaves and sometimes raindrops turned into small and beautiful snowflakes. Apparently Shikamaru had noticed that she was getting cold, because he had stepped back a bit and was now looking at her questioningly. "Is it cold?", She nodded slightly. Without a word he gave her his West and began to make his way into the village. She looked after him in amazement, then pulled on the vest. A few meters from her had stood up, had turned to her and then said: "Are you coming?" Smiling, she ran towards him and together they walked through the Christmassy Konoha. Temari looked around curiously, the Christmas spirit had apparently seized the whole village, the windows were decorated in bright colors everywhere.In the middle of the village there was a huge Christmas tree, which was not yet decorated, around the tree were traders who tried to sell their last goods. For a moment she watched the wild goings-on, but she still had to be careful not to lose Shikamaru.

She actually sighed, she didn't like Christmas that much, but it was still quite amusing to watch the people almost fighting each other just to get a little present for their children or relatives. The Sabakunos didn't celebrate Christmas at home, because Christmas was a feast for the family and they weren't a family for a long time. They had tried to continue their normal life after their mother's death, but at Christmas it was completely impossible, because that was the mother's favorite time. Christmas had died for the Sabakunos, like the woman who loved this holiday as much as anyone else.
Temari ran with a sad look next to the Nara, she hadn't had to think about her mother for a long time and even as difficult as it was for her, she admitted that she missed her very much.Often she wished that she could talk to her again, only once, to show her what had become of her and to ask if she was okay where she was now, but unfortunately that wasn't possible. The young woman had stopped and looked at the starry sky and a small tear made its way down her cheek. Temari didn't wipe it away, she just let it happen, at the moment she didn't care what people thought of her. A small shooting star appeared and Temari remembered the words her mother had said to her back then: "If you ever feel lonely, then you must never forget, I will always be with you, no matter where you are or I will be. In in our hearts we are forever united and no one can stand between us because we are family! "
These words had already helped her a lot in the past, because she knew that her mother will always be with her, no matter what, she smiled towards the sky somewhere up there, her mother watching her and always taking good care of her.In the meantime Shikamaru had noticed that she had stopped and looked at the sky, curiously he looked up, but could not see anything. But it must have been something because he saw a tear that shimmered on her cheek, again he looked at the sky but still found nothing.
