Pairings: Shikamaru x OC
Author's note: this was a request from a friend. And this is only my second fanfic. So don't kill me over it if you think it stinks. Be nice please.
Anaji sat under the big oak tree as she always did. The day was sunny and her dark brown hair shined brightly in the sun's light. She was napping peacefully after a long day of training and was thankful for the small amount of shade under the tree. Suddenly she felt a presence next to her. "Hello, Shikamaru," she said lazily.
"Hey," was his reply.
"Come to watch what little clouds are out today?" she asked.
"Yeah."
"Okay, well I should be getting home now," she said, adjusting her headband away from her eyes so she could see. It had been blocking the sun so she could sleep. She was kind of disappointed that he had not come to see her, but what was new?
"See you later," he said. It was the first time he had said some thing like that. Now she was happy, but she didn't show it, she just walked away slowly.
"Okay," she called over her shoulder casually. She walked toward the road and when she had turned the corner, she bolted straight for home. She had to write down what had just happened. Yes, she was obsessed with him, but not as much as the Sasuke fan-girls were with Sasuke.
After she finished writing she locked the small lock on the covers of the small journal that she always wrote that stuff in. she then put it in her double lock safe, locked that, and then hid it in her secret compartment underneath her bed and then locked that. She then pulled the rug and a big heavy box on top of the door. She didn't want her brother finding it of course.
XD XD XD XD
Damn! She left. Why does she always leave? Shikamaru thought, she probably hates me. That's why. God! This is so troublesome! Shikamaru stayed and watched the clouds a little longer and went home when the sun started to set.
XD XD XD XDThe next day Anaji was napping again, but on a bench under a cherry tree. She hadn't gotten much sleep over the past few nights and was trying to catch it up during the day. She was so deep in sleep that she didn't notice that some one had sat down in the tree just above her head.
A small bird settled on her stomach. It looked down at her curiously. It was startled into flight when Anaji started to sleep talk, "Shi- Shikamaru. Don't go."
XD XD XD XDShikamaru had been looking for a nice place to sit and watch the clouds. He came upon Anaji sleeping on a bench beneath a cherry tree. He sat on a branch just above her. He watched as a little bird alighted on her stomach. The bird flew off as she started to speak, "shi-Shikamaru. Don't go," she said. He was almost tempted to answer, but he knew she was sleeping. He also knew that when people talk in their sleep they say exactly what they really want.
He jumped down from the tree and bent over her. His face was only a few inches away from hers, "Anaji," he whispered. He had an idea. "Anaji, who is it that you love?" he asked.
"N-Nara, Shikamaru," she said in her sleep. Shikamaru's grin widened.
"Anaji," he whispered again, "Anaji, wake up."
XD XD XD XDAnaji was having a pretty good dream when she heard a voice off in the distance.
"Anaji," it said, "Anaji, wake up."
Anaji's opened her eyes, thinking her mom was trying to get her up. What she saw surprised her.
"Shi-Shikamaru!" she stammered. He was so close. He's so close I can't believe it! She thought.
Shikamaru smiled at her. "You know," he said standing straight again, "you can learn a lot from some one who is sleeping. And they usually tell the truth." He smiled at her again; a soft, sweet, caring smile that made her heart melt into a puddle. Then some thing occurred to her.
Oh god! What did I say!? What if I said something about liking him!? What am I going to do!?!?!? Her mind was in turmoil. She was bursting with questions she refused to ask him.
Suddenly he reached down and pulled her up to stand right in front of him. Anaji's face turned several shades of red. Then she remembered something:
Flash back
It was two days before the chuunin exams and she was bouncing off the walls with excitement. She was finally going to get to see Karu, her boyfriend from Suna. She had met him at the last chuunin exams, which they had both failed. They had written letters back and forth for the last few months and she couldn't wait to see how he had changed.
All the genins had arrived the next night. She went to the hotel they were staying at to surprise Karu with a visit. She stopped dead in her tracks when she turned the corner down the hall his room was in and saw him making out with his teammate, Tina.
"WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!" she yelled. Karu looked extremely guilty and sorry. Anaji stormed out of the hotel as Karu tried to follow her and explain what had happened.
End flashback
XD XD XD XDAnaji looked sad and scared for a moment. Shikamaru thought quickly, he didn't want her feeling bad because of him. It was late afternoon and the sun was starting to set.
"Come watch the sunset with me," he offered to cheer her up. Please don't say 'no' he thought.
XD XD XD XD"Come watch the sunset with me," Shikamaru's voice startled her from her memory.
"W-what?" she said confusedly.
"Come watch the sunset with me," he offered again, smiling gently.
Anaji looked down; trying to hide her wide grin that had made it's way across her face.
"Okay," she said happily.
XD XD XD XD"Okay," she said happily. Yes! Shikamaru thought.
"Come with me I know a great spot with an even better view," he said taking her hand. Anaji blushed a million shades of red.
He took her to a hill with an open field of grass and a single tree. The hill over looked the village and gave a great view of the incredible sunset.
"Take a seat," Shikamaru said lying down on the hill's sloping side beneath the tree. Anaji sat close to him as if she were cold.
XD XD XD XD"It's so beautiful," anaji said quietly.
"Yeah, it is. Just like a certain person I know," Shikamaru said before he knew what he was saying. Anaji blushed again.
She breathed deeply lying down next to him. His scent was faint but it was there; and she loved it. She watched as the sun set and the sky turned a deep blue. The stars were starting to appear above them and Anaji was beginning to get tired.
Her head lolled to the side in tiredness. Her eyes were shutting and the last thing she could remember was a strong arm coming around her shoulders as she fell asleep leaning on Shikamaru.
XD XD XD XD
