A sequel to The Northen Deer, Shikamaruoc other pairing to, set when Naruto is away to Naruto comes back. I don't own naruto.
Kita pulled away from Shikamaru, the kiss had been going on too long, and scowled. "Oh that was sick." She said and Shikamaru was frozen mouth open.
"I just need some rest." Sakura said passing them and looking back before shaking her head and going faster. "Maybe I'm dreaming right now." She said passing.
Kita was spitting into the grass when Kiba burst out laughing. "What?" She snapped. Shikamaru was still in shock.
"You really do have some type of determination." He said and she scowled.
"What just happened?" Shikamaru asked out of his trance. Kiba started laughing again and Kita went red.
"Idiot I'm going to punch you so hard!" Kita said running after Kiba who cackled darting away. As Kiba dodged passed Shikamaru Kita followed making a lunge, but Shikamaru literally caught her. "Put me down." She said struggling and Shikamaru dropped her.
"Why'd you do that?" Shikamaru said and she glared from sitting at his feet.
"Because Kiba…" She cut off seeing Kiba's smug face. The point was to say she moved on right? "Because I l-like you." She said merely stuttering not because she was shy, but because she could barely say the word how much she loathed Shikamaru.
Shikamaru paused and then a million expressions passed his face like, disgust, anger, sadness, and maybe once joy, maybe. "Oh sick." He said and jumped back from her. "That is going to make me hurl." He said.
"You kissed me when we were drunk, so we're even." Kita said throwing a wad of grass at him.
"No 'even' would be you killing me. I'd be happier like that then you kissing me." He said and they both forgot about Kiba who seemed a little shaken. "I could never like you." Shikamaru added and Kita stiffed, that was her pride he was kicking at now.
She stood and scoffed at him. "If I wanted you'd be on your knees begging me to date you." She said flipped her hair like she saw Ino do before. When in doubt try and imitate someone who controlled the problem naturally.
"Yeah right, and I'll go and join Lee for a run." Shikamaru stated.
"Go ahead, after that we're having a date." Kita said impulsively. "And I'll prove it." She snapped.
"Go ahead." He said walking away.
"I'll pick you up at seven." She called and he made a rude gesture at her. "Stupid jerk." Kita said passing Kiba who stared at her.
"What in Konoha?" Kiba asked himself and realized he was alone and decided to talk to someone who made sense. Akamaru made sense.
--
Kita stared at her mirror and swore. She had like two skirts one for funerals the other she wasn't sure why she had. She needed help.
Ino? No way she didn't want Shikamaru to hear from the rather big-mouthed blonde about her asking for help. Sakura? No she looked clearly distressed after she left the hospital. Temari? In Suna. Hinata? The girl was sweet, but so shy Kita doubted she ever had a date. Tenten? No she didn't really know the girl.
"Yuki!" Kita yelled from the doorway. The blonde came hair tangled and his latest girlfriend on his arm. "You mind ditching legs, I need a favor." Kita said and the girl looked offended.
"I'm a Medic Nin you know not just some eye-candy." The girl said.
"I'm sure you're a good one too, but right now you're hanging on to a playbo-" she paused as Yuki winced.
"I need to help, see you love." He said kissing the girl's cheek and pushing he out the door. "What?" he whined.
"I have a…date. Help me." Kita said simply and Yuki's eyes glittered. "Nothing too wild." She said, but Yuki was already pushing her into the attic-room.
"I'll only do it for a kiss." Her said batting his eyelashes and Kita nodded unwillingly. "First clothes." He said and clapped over excited.
He raided her closet and dresser. "Hey, not that drawer." She said as he tired to get into her underwear drawer.
"So in total you have three skirts." He said pointing to the funeral one and the other, but one she wore when she was like six?
"Two, the last one is way too short." She said.
Yuki shook his head. "There is nothing too short." He said and she sighed. "Fine, not that one." He said and looked through again. Finally he set aside an outfit deemed good in both his and Kita's eyes.
"Thanks Yuki." Kita said trying to push him from a room. He held onto the doorway and smirked.
"How are you going to behave?" He asked and Kita froze. She only dated Kiba, and he and her just had instant chemistry. Could she not fight with Shikamaru? She did before on their mission, but now?
"Come in." She said defeated. "So how should I behave?" She asked reluctantly. Yuki was enjoying this too much for her comfort.
"How do you want to act?" He asked.
"Not like girls you date." Kita responded quickly. He pouted and sighed.
"Hard to get will probably work for you." He said and Kita glared.
"I asked this guys out." She said. '
"Just agree with him and be sweet then." Yuki said shrugging and he left. Kita twitched; she could've come at that herself. Looking at the clock it was 6:20, she better get ready.
--
Shikamaru sat on his stairs, waiting to see if Kita would go through with it. Two sharp knocking on his door he glanced at the clock. 6:59. He opened it and blinked Kita stood, but he did a double take.
Her hair was up like normal, but she wore a red shirt-dress, brown legging and long sleeve shirt under it. She looked girly. "Ready?" She chirped. He nodded dumb-founded. He followed her as she walked along.
"Where are we doing?" He asked, she froze thinking. He was thinking she was about to say something troublesome, Shikamaru stepped in. "Let's watch clouds." He said
She nodded relieved, she forgot to plan something. "That sound fun." She said, no it sounded like sitting still, she was bad at that.
He led her to a roof of tall building. "I like watching clouds from here." He said, truly it was his favorite spot, but less was more. He sat and she paced around the small bench under a covering. "Do you ever sit still, monkey?" He asked.
She forced herself to laugh, be agreeable. "Why don't I run and get food?" She asked he nodded.
"As long as you don't bug me." He said and she just laughed. "What's wrong with you?" He asked.
"Nothing I just never noticed how funny you were." For a jerk with stick up his butt. She added silently. "I'll be back later." She said running to get food.
"She's acting weird." Shikamaru said too himself. He yawned heavily eyes closing.
--
Kita stormed back to the rooftop, she had been brooding well getting two bags of chips. Her temper was on full steam now. Looking she saw Shikamaru had fallen asleep. She raised her fist to hit him awake, but she stopped. He looked peaceful.
Sighing she'd have her temper fit later. Sitting on the bench she sat criss cross and ate some chips staring at the darkening sky. Sitting still was hard; she fidgeted constantly, but stayed relatively frozen.
"It's raining." Shikamaru said as he woke up and yawned.
Kita turned and threw the un-open chips at him. "Man you sleep." She said. He stood up to leave and she stared at him.
"Come on." He said.
"I can't go through rain unless you want me to get sick!" She said kicking his leg from where she sat. He frowned getting drenched already.
"Fine stay there." He said and she made pathetic face. He stared at her before sighing. "Fine." He said sitting under the covering again. Instantly his eyes started closing again.
"Nara!" She said hitting his shoulder.
"Talk if you want me to stay awake." He snapped. She gave him a look.
"What about?" She asked.
"Why you bullied me in the academy." He said randomly. She looked away.
"Two reasons, one you bugged me." She said and paused.
"And?" He questioned.
"You know how young girls act out for attention from boys they like?" She questioned and he nodded. She grinned sheepishly and he made face, she had liked him?
"I think I just threw up in my mouth." Shikamaru dramatically.
"Shut up, I feel like an idiot for even thinking you were worth my notice." She said snobbishly.
"You're no prize, princess." He said sarcastically. "Rain is lightening up let's go." He said and she nodded storming off.
"Later jerk." She yelled.
"Just be glad I went on a date with you." Shikamaru shouted.
"Like I'm glad when someone kicks me in the stomach its almost as fun as this!" Kita screamed.
"Whatever." He yelled.
"Yeah, exactly because I'm troublesome." She shouted a window opened and bucket of water was poured on them.
"SHUT UP!" A woman, face covered with green gunk, said and slammed the window down. Kita and Shikamaru stared at each other before she burs tout laughing and pointing at him.
He looked at his shoulder where the woman's bra was. "Laundry day." Kita said pulling of a pair of pants that had landed on her. He shook the clothes off him and made a face. They both separated silently afraid of the woman's wrath.
--
Kita woke up early, she slept less then most people yet had more energy. She was weird like that, but today she had reason to. Making breakfast.
"How was the date?" Yuki asked sitting at his place on the counter they used as a table. Kita snickered looking at his hair. Girls he dated never saw him in the morning apparently.
"I dunno." She said shrugging. She blew a kiss and smirked.
"What was that?" He asked.
"Your kiss." She said putting some toast on his plate and handing him orange juice. "Kenji." She called and the boy trudged out looking tired. "Hey, how's adjusting going?" She asked putting food on his plate and he ate mechanically.
"Fine." He said.
"What kind of kiss was that?" Yuki whined finally remembering. Kita put a hand on her hip and glared, just like Daigo had her practice to ward of the evil spirits, or boys. She winced a little, Daigo wasn't dead he was traitor. She wondered which had hurt her worse.
Yuki backed doff and Kita handed Kenji a lunch box and grinned. He looked suspiciously at it and inspected it inside and out. "Iruka-sensei wants to see you, said he needs to talk with a guardian about me." Kenji said like making a good lunch, which he checked for, made her able to be called a guardian.
"Alright I guess I'll walk over with you." Kita said shrugging.
"I have a mission." Yuki said fighting for attention. Kita nodded. "To Mist, where I was originally from. What if I'm recognized and I die?" He prodded her.
"You can date the executioner if it's a woman and save your hide." She said and followed Kenji out the door. She chuckled at Yuki's face. "Good luck." She said and he smirked.
--
"Ah Kita-chan." Iruka said she'd watched him teach all day before recess and they could talk.
"Hey Iruka-sensei." She said out of habit. He smiled kindly.
"So you must have learned about Kenji's temperament has his guardian." Iruka said frowning. She shook her head, cold, quiet, secretive? "Well he's a bit…" He paused as a girl rushed in nose bleeding and crying.
"He hit me again!" She wailed hugging Iruka's leg and wiping the blood on it. He cleaned her barely noticing the blood on him and put her in a seat, she was still sobbing and left to find the perpetrator. Kita looked the girl in the eyes and smiled.
"Hi, I'm Kita." She said and the girl nodded.
"I'm Ai." She said and blushed. Was she shy? Iruka came in lifting Kenji by the collar. Kita glanced from Kenji to Ai and felt this meeting become awful.
"Kenji?' Kita asked and Ai ducked her head, from Kenji glare, but as soon as she wasn't looking the glare softened. Kita bit her lip she knew what was going on and she hated it.
"Go play Ai." Iruka said and the girl ran off. "Kita, Kenji please sit." Iruka said and Kita did as told and scowled. It'd be a long lecture.
Yay!
