(5) A Line Between Love and Hate Shikamaru and Sasuke

"Good morning Heaven

"Good morning Heaven." said Sakura
"Oh hey. Good morning to you to." said Heaven
"So how was it last night with Sasuke?" said Sakura
"Last night?" said Heaven

Heaven looking over at Sakura

"It was alright, but we ran into couple of people though." said Heaven
"Such as who?" said Sakura
"Uh...Naruto, Ino, and more fan girls." said Heaven
"Ino? It figures."said Sakura as she rolled her eyes.
"Yeah. She was just complaining and she started changing the subject about you." said Heaven
"Ino was talking about me?" said Sakura
"Yup she said that you were so weak no wonder why you can't hold onto Sasuke." said Heaven

Heaven looked over to Sakura, she knew how Sakura actually felt about Ino. Naruto and Sasuke came by. We were all waiting for Kakashi sensei. Time flew by and Kaskashi sensei still hasn't arrived yet. As usual Naruto was restless and he started to fool around and being stupid. Sakura and Heaven were just talking and as for Sasuke he was waiting patiently. It was mid afternoon and Kakashi sensei finally arrived.

"What took you so long Kakashi sensei?" said Naruto
"Well Its another year and on this time of year is the Chunin Exam." said Kakashi sensei
"Chunin Exam?" said Sakura
"Yes. The Chunin Exam." said Kakashi

Heaven was looking over to Sasuke and he seemed amused about the Chunin Exam same went for Naruto.

"Here are the application to the Chunin Exam. The deadlines are in a week from now. Remember this is your choice. I'm not forcing you to join." said Kakashi.
"Hold on Kakashi sensei. Are we the only team to join the Chunin Exam?" said Sakura
"No. There are other teams who are applying to the Chunin Exam. Any more questions?" said Kakashi

Everyone grew silent. Even Naruto was silent. I guess deep inside he was excited and doens't need to talk.

"Okay then that is it for today." said Kakashi

Everyone left their own direction. Heaven was lost in thought, looking at the application for the Chunin Exam. She wasn't paying any attention to where she was going. Later on Heaven bumped into Shikamaru and she fell down.

"Why do you keep bumping into me?" said Shikamaru

Heaven looking up and saw Shikamaru giving her a hand. She grabbed his hand to help her up. Heaven started to blush.

"Uh...I don't know. I guess bad timing." said Heaven
"So what are you doing all the way out here?" said Shikamaru
"Uh..." looking around she found herself deep into the forest.
"Going back home." said Heaven
"Well to tell you this, you are going the wrong way." said Shikamaru

Hearing the bushes brushing against one another. Heaven and Shikamaru looked towards the direction where the noise was at. And it was Sasuke.

"Heaven." said Sasuke
"Yes Sasuke." said Heaven
"Come on. Sakura and Naruto are waiting for us." said Sasuke
"Oh. Okay." said Heaven

Shikamaru faced Heaven

"Well I guess I'll talk to you later." said Shikamaru
"Yeah I'll talk to you later." said Heaven

Heaven smiled to Shikamaru and he smiled back at her. She started walking towards where Sasuke was.
Heaven thought to herself, Sakura and Naruto aren't waiting for us.
Shikamaru watched Heaven walk off into the distance with Sasuke where he could no longer see Heaven.
