Shikamaru's P.O.V

'I have fallen for her. Maybe even I have fallen in love with her, but would she love me back?' I pondered this for hours. I was released from the trace as I heard the sharp ring. 'That was just the bell,' my mind reassured me. Class and school were now over. I got out of my desk and was stopped by the teacher.

"Can I please speak with you Mr. Nara?"

"What is it Kakashi-sensei? I need to get home." I said looking bored and uninterested in what he had to say.

"Well you may be the brightest in my class but that doesn't give you the excuse to not pay attention in my class Mr. Nara." he said but I couldn't tell if he was smiling or frowning because of his mask that always hid his face.

"Alright I will pay attention in class. Now can I go? I have to get going."

"Sure," he sighed and sat down at his desk. I guess he gave up on me since I didn't show any sign of being sorry for not paying attention. I could actually careless about his class right now.

As I headed out of the class and down the hall I heard a familiar voice. "Shikamaru, wait up!" the voice called out.

"Hey Choji, what's up?" I asked as I turned around now facing him. Choji was my best friend ever since we were little kids. We always had each other's backs. He was also the only one I didn't find troublesome.

"You seemed out of it in class. Still thinking about her?" he asked with a hint of concern as we walked to the door of the school.

I turned my head away from Choji. "Look Choji, you don't have to worry. I'll see you later." That's all I said and I walked a few feet away from him. I heard him call my name for me to stop but I used a jutsu and disappeared from sight.

I didn't want to be bothered with a question like that. I didn't want him to know the answer was yes.

3rd Person P.O.V

Shikamaru came to a giant oak tree. It was in the middle of a huge park. The tree had been there since forever. It was very tall and the trunk was probably 84 feet in diameter. He had always come here to stare at the clouds when the sun came up and after school. When night would fall he would still be there to gaze at the stars and the luminescent moon. The reason for him coming here is that it was the farthest away from the trouble of friends, family, and life. Nobody knew about this magical spot of his.

Shikamaru's P.O.V

I sat down and leaned my head against the large trunk. I looked up wanting to get hypnotized by the clouds. 'Why did I have to like her?' My mind always questioned this. I closed my eyes wanting to just drift away in the blackness of my mind.

Well ever since you saw her you liked her right?

Huh? Who are you?

I'm you Inner stupid!

Are you supposed to be me or something?

Well I live inside your head so I guess that would be correct!

Well go away. You're annoying me.

That's no way to walk to you like that.

Troublesome thing go away. Why are you bothering me?

I will not go away, and you asked a question and I simply answered.

Well if you're so smart then help me out here.

Just tell her how you feel.

I can't.

For a smart person you're really stupid.

Ha you just called yourself stupid!

…..I'm going I have things to do plans to make.

Plans? What plans?

I'm not going to tell you. Bye and good luck with your intruder.

Wait where are you g- wait intruder!

I opened my eyes and looked around for the intruder my Inner was talking about. I suddenly heard someone brush by some bushes near my location. I reached in my pocket and got out a kunai knife. I made some quick calculations in my head and knew the kunai.

"Ow!" I heard the intruder say. It sounded like a female's voice though. I wonder who it could be.

"Hey, what's with you throwing a kunai at me lazzy ass!" she said in an angry tone.

"Should not have been sneaking up on me troublesome woman." I sated with a smirk as I stood up.

I examined her over and I and I noticed her arm was bleeding. She caught me staring and she followed my gaze. She looked down at her arm and saw the blood. She noticed me staring at it and covered it up with her hand. I guess I cut her with the kunai after all. It looked like a bad cut.

I guess you nicked me after all." She said giving me a devilish smile and sat down next to me.

"Ya, sorry about that." I said rubbing the back of my neck. It was a nervous habit of mine I guess you could say.

"It's ok I'll get you back." She said giving her famous smirk that he loved to see.

"Here let me patch you up now." I said to her as I walked over to her.

"It's ok, I'll get it treated when i get home." She smiled this time. It was unusual because she always had a famous smirk plastered on her face.

"Well ok then, if you're sure." I made my way back to the tree and sat down. She followed me and leaned on the tree without sitting down.

"So why did you come here?" I questioned her.

"Well I got to tell you something of course!" She said as if the reason why she was here was obvious.

"Ok, what is it?"...
