Shikamaru's POV:

I walk into the orphanage sighing gravely, this is one hell of a day my parents refuse to give me any support unless I take up some kind of responsibility or get a girlfriend. Mostly my mom was pushing this onto me she said that either I adopt a little girl or I get a girlfriend and I "real" job. According to my mother teaching isn't a real job…. You see I used to be a ninja but instead of anbu I decided to teach other children how to become ninjas, which my mother isn't very pleased with so since I don't feel like giving up my job and there is no girl I know that I'm interested in I now have to adopt a little girl if I want to see my parents again.

"Well hello how may I help you?"

I look up to see a middle age woman standing a few feet ahead of me. She smiled and started towards me once again. I smile back at her "I was looking to adopt a little girl."

"Oh really well come this way to my office there are some things we need to discuss first."

I follow her down the hall as some children run pass laughing and chasing each other as they spray each other with water pistols. The woman in front of me smiles "Don't mind the children its play time and they're all letting out all of their energy."

I smile "That's okay its nice seeing these children so happy."

Suddenly we stop and walk into a room, I soon find out it was an office and sit down when the woman motions towards one of the chairs. "Okay so what's your name?"

"Shikamaru Nara"

"How old are you?"

"21"

"Where do you work for a living"

"Konoha high"

"So you're a teacher" I nod "Why do you want a child, do you have a partner?"

"No I do not currently have a girlfriend but I want a child because I think it is time for me to have a little more responsibility and I always want to have a child."

"Is there a specific reason why you want a girl instead of a boy? Don't feel offended but I need to ask this because there has been cases of rape from a single man adopting a little girl. Sometimes it happens to boys but the men are usually way older then you are."

"Oh my god I would never do that to a child! I can understand your concern but I swear I would NOT touch any child like that!"

The woman smiles "Well that's good to know but by policy we have people visit the family that take children, they visit a couple days for the first two weeks to make sure everything is alright. For single men we do it more often for your case they will come three times a week Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday for three weeks. This is just concern for the child please don't get offended."

"Oh that's fine I understand"

The woman nods and takes out some papers "Here fill this out and I will be right back."

Once I had the paper all filled out I sighed and sat back. The woman came back and smiled "You may walk around to see the children if you like they are all in random places right now but don't worry they don't mind strangers walking around."

I nod and get up and walk out, I walk many children who were all running around laughing and having fun. I walk pass what looked like a bedroom and stop as I see a little girl lying in a bed all alone but the thing that really caught my attention was her hair and the bruises on her arms. Her hair reminded me of my old teammate who recently gone MIA a few months ago, her hair was so blonde and long. I smile as I walk towards her I notice her eyes are shut tight and tears are falling from them. She looked to be at least 3 years old I sigh and tried to get her attention, "Hey…" I slowly sit beside her and she finally opens her eyes and they go wide and she has a panicked look on her face as she tries to back away from me. "Hey its okay… I'm not gonna hurt you" My eyes are wide her eyes are so blue she looks just like my old teammate, Ino.

I sigh "What happened to your arms, sweety?"

Before the girl can answer the woman from before came in, "Sir, What are you doing in here?"

I look at the little girl then back up at her "This is the little girl I will like to adopt and I'm not taking 'no' for an answer"
