His Inner Strength

By: Tomo Kakashi

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

WARNING: It depends on how you see it, but this may contain yaoi/shounen-ai...though it is intended to be only a friendship fic. Nvm, it DOES contain yaoi!!! Only its ChoujiNaru friendship and ShikaChouji pairing. ^_^

His eyes show his strength and courage, his love for life and his stubborn wanting of acknowledgement.

His cerulean orbs that can see whatever they want, whenever they want. Those strong, crystaline eyes that let no one down...

Naruto's inner strength...the protection of his Precious People.

I just wish...That I was one of them...Maybe I would be alive today, I don't know, but if only I were one of his precious people...He would do anything in his power to protect me.

But maybe I lasted so long because I was someone else's special person...I was His Precious person...

I was Shikamaru's special, precious person...And I'm sure he did everything in his power to keep me alive. Too bad it didn't work well...

Especially since he never knew...How I really feel...But at least he knew that I was always there with him, always by his side, no matter what.

Heck, maybe he did know.

And maybe he understood.

And maybe, just maybe, my love for him...

Was his inner-strength.
