Sum: To know loss, is to be human. They know loss, can that bring them together? After all they are only human. Every one needs some one to help the pain sometimes.

I don't own Naruto, but some days soon watch out!

Chapter 1

The wind was strong, but warm, and soothing, as it flew over Shikamaru's head.

He was on his way to the Hokage Mansion. A messenger was sent to get him earlier in the day.

"Wonder what the mission will be?" he thought blankly, staring into the sky.

He came out of his thought just in time to see Hinata as she collided with him. With"OOF" he fell to the ground

"Ouch" Hinata said with a sigh. She hadn't been looking where she was going, lost deep in her own thoughts.

Shikamaru looked at his the girl with a questioning eye." What was she doing, how stupid". He thought, with a slight smile.

He tended to get angry with people when they did foolish things, or he just ignored it, and went on his way. For some reason though, he felt the urge to talk to her, He stared at her, putting his hands in his pockets. As he stood, he saw a look in her eyes, he saw a look he knew well, very well in-fact…

Hinata got herself together and stood to speak to him. She looked at him and she shot her face down and immediately started to apologies for knocking him down.

"Gomen, Gomen, Gomen. Shikamaru-san" she repeated over and over. She really was sorry, but it took a lot to be nice to day. She wasn't really saying all of them to Shikamaru, but to another. Another who was long gone. Repeating it again helped to keep her from running off to cry like she wanted to. She was not weak, but tired and wanted to be alone for awhile

He sighed at her politeness. "Hinata-San, it's ok, are you ok?"

She sighed for the ump-teeth time that day. Telling lies was very starring for a good-hearted soul like hers she looked back at him, and saw a look she could spot anywhere…

"Those eyes are like mine!"

She was started by this. She did not know him very well. From what she had herd from her friends though, she thought he was a lazy, ill-mannered, hear in the clouds (Literally) man, but in-fact he could, and looked to be more, she thought. She shook the thought off, finally answering his question.

"Yes, I am fine. Are you?" she asked in a nicer tone than she was felling.

He looked at her as she continued to looked down, razing a brow at her, he thought

"Why would she have eyes like that?" his stare did not go unnoticed though.

"Shikamaru-San, Are you ok?" She asked him.

"Yes, I am fine, fine" his words went un-herd though

Hinata had stopped listening, lost again in her own thoughts.

Noticing this he tried to ask what was wrong. He didn't know why he felt like talking to her so much. They weren't really friends, but that look. He just felt like he should.

"Hinata-san, Hinata-san, HINATA-SAN!"

"Hu? oh, right, sorry, I must have gone off there"

His gaze tuned into an understanding loo "Now I know I am right. We have the same eyes indeed"

His muse was interrupted by Hinata.

Hinata was again apologizing for not listening, and she looked like she really just wanted to be left alone. Like she was trying hard to be nice, and polite, but her mind had her else where. And that place was not very nice. She looked like him.

Shikamaru looked at her and simply replied "we have the same eye's"

This answer took her for a loop

"What?" she asked

"We have the same eye's" he said again

Hinata was looking on him with an eyebrow raised" what do you mean? The same eyes?"

"We know pain" is all he said, with that he made his way to the Hokage's Mansion to get his new mission. Leaving a bewildered Hinata to walk back to her apartment to question his, well intuition at this point.

"Am I that obvious?" she thought as she closed the door. She sat on the couch, and thought about her loss.

"No, I am good at hiding it; he must know how I feel. I know he does, and we do have the same eyes" was her last though as emotional exhaustion claimed her.
