It's going to be harder than he thought...

Naruto swallows hard, having found the blonde's building and room number. He stands at the door for a long time, wondering what choices he has.

But he has to do this, right? Sakura-chan'll be next unless he does everything Ino tells him to do...

How can he resist her? Sure, he can fight some of her commands, avoid eye contact for a small time, but there's nothing, almost nothing he can do short of killing Ino.

If he told Tsunade now, what had happened, what was happening... she'd have to kill him. Or at-least, the council would order it. He had to keep this quiet, but he also needed help. He couldn't do this alone, he finally realized.

Temari could help. Maybe he could convince her to help him.

Swallowing hard, Naruto knocks three times.

Bang. Bang. Bak.

"Coming!" he hears Temari say, the sound of running water grinding to a halt, wet feet slapping on the floor.

Temari's glistening head pops out, she smiles slightly at him, "Come on in, Shika-kun, I wasn't expecting you to get here early,"

"O-Oh yeah, I um. Troublesome. Jeez, I thought I was late."

She opens the door, walking backwards, "Come on in, I was just getting out,"

She's beautiful. Her long sand-hair clinging to her back, shapely breasts barely construed by the towel. Her entire body wet and shining. Steaks of water still dripping down her.

"That is... unless you want to join me?" she waggles her eyebrows with a confident smirk.

S-Shit. Shikamaru wouldn't refuse, would he? And– shit. He can't have sex with her! Even Ino said so!
