I do however own this story, for it came out of my mind, and Aya, for she is me.
Aya sighed. She had been dragged into another fight as a mediator. She hated being one. It sucked. This time is was a fight involving Shikamaru and Neji. It was surprising that Shikimaru even fought this. He usually avoided conflicts.
This had started when Neji had called Shikimaru a fag. For some reason, Shikimaru had become very angry. This was very shocking to Aya. She had never seen him so angry.
She stood between the two men, trying to calm them down. Shikimaru lunged forward to punch Neji. Aya was prepared for this. She grabbed Shikimaru's wrist and swung him around, so that he overbalanced and fell. Unluckily, Aya's ankle twisted at that moment, and she also fell.
Shikimaru's eyes widened as he saw her trip. He moved quickly. He reached out his hands and grabbed Aya, pulling her to him in the split second that this all happened.
She landed on him. He blushed slightly as she blinked dazed.
"Get off." he said rather gruffly. Aya looked at him and nodded silently.
"Sorry." she muttered as she stood. Neji shook his head. He wandered off. He had no time for this. Shikimaru sat up and rubbed his head. He looked at her. He felt rather odd. He always knew that he liked her, but now the feeling was starting to get more intense. He sighed and stood. He dusted himself off.
Aya looked at him.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
"Fine." he muttered, "See ya." he started heading off.
Aya sighed. She bit her lip as she looked to the left and then to the right. She was alone again. She turned on her heel and headed towards the woods. She would have plenty of time to think as she headed for the mansion she shared with her two sisters. It was 50 miles from the Hidden Leaf Village. It had been closer until they teleported the mansion to get it closer to the Leaf Village, but had teleported it on top of the Hokage's Tower and then 50 miles away, further away than it had been originally.
