Love Unbound: A ShikaHina Love Story
Chapter One
"Uggh, how troublesome," Shikamaru Nara complained as he shifted two large bags of groceries in his arms. The lazy shinobi was heading to Kurenai Yuuhi's apartment to deliver the bags to the heavily pregnant jonin. After the father, his own sensei of Team 10 Asuma Sarutobi was killed by Hidan of the Akatsuki earlier this year, for the first time in his entire sixteen year existence, Shikamaru actually felt motivated to help the pregnant jonin, which meant enlisting the help of both Team 10, which included himself, Choji Akamichi, and Ino Yamanaka, and Kurenai's own team, Team 8, which comprised of Shino Aburame, Hinata Hyuga, and Kiba Inuzuka. As he was walking, he passed by the members of Team 7, Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and the newest member Sai, after the original third member, Sasuke Uchiha ran off with the Sound 4 two and half years ago. He was also the cause of Shikamaru's first failure as a newly minted chuunin. Reaching the apartment, Shikamaru used his right foot to hit the door as he had the bags in both arms. He heard footsteps coming towards the door and the door swung open to reveal the lone female of Team 8, Hinata Hyuga.
"Thank you for bringing the groceries for Kurenai-sensei Shikamaru-kun," the shy kunoichi said with a smile and the usual blush on her beautiful face.
"Eh, it was nothing," Shikamaru drawled as he walked into the apartment and put the bags onto the counter.
"About time you got back," another female voice called out. Shikamaru turned to see his own teammate Ino Yamanaka with Kurenai sitting on the living room couch. The platinum blonde was kneeling in front of the crimson-eyed woman with a stethoscope on as she listened for the baby's heartbeat.
"Alright Kurenai-sensei, you and baby Sarutobi are all checked out," Ino chirped as she stood up and fixed her outfit, which consisted of a purple crop top that revealed her flat stomach and a purple skirt that opened in the front with a shorter black skirt underneath the purple skirt with a pair of mesh shorts underneath as well. Kurenai smiled and said "Thank you Ino-chan, you, Shikamaru, and Hinata-chan helped me a lot today."
"Aww, it's no problem Kurenai-sensei," Ino said while grinning. The door swung open, revealing Kiba, Choji and Shino at the door.
"Alright, we're here to relieve you, so you guys can leave now," Kiba said loudly.
"Alright, I have to get back to the shop now so I'll see you guys later," Ino said as she left.
"Well, umm, I have to go train now so bye everyone," Hinata said as she turned to leave.
"Wait, I'll walk with you," Shikamaru said as he put away the last of the groceries. Hinata blushed as she waited for the lazy shinobi.
"Later you guys," he said to Choji, Shino, and Kiba as he and Hinata left the apartment.
"You better not try anything funny with Hinata-chan!" Kiba yelled before Shino knocked him upside the head. Hinata blushed profusely as she heard Kiba yell that last sentence while Shikamaru rolled his eyes as he tried to play off the blush that had risen to his cheeks. Luckily for him, Hinata didn't notice it as she said
"Please ignore Kiba-kun. He tends to be slightly overprotective of me at times." Putting on a lazy grin, Shikamaru eyed her as he said
"I'm not worried about that idiot," causing her to giggle. He smirked as he heard Hinata giggle.
"Where are you off to?" Hinata asked curiously.
"To Tsunade-sama's office to prepare for the upcoming chuunin exams. It's a real drag, and on top of that, I have to work with that troublesome woman from Suna," Shikamaru said as he slouched forward with a depressed look on his face.
"Temari-chan's not that bad," Hinata said in defense of her closest friend.
"Speak for yourself," Shikamaru said. They stopped at the Hokage Tower as Shikamaru said
"Well, it was nice talking to you Hinata-chan, see you later."
"Bye Shikamaru-kun," Hinata said before turning around and running off. As Shikamaru watched her leave, he felt someone put a hand on his shoulder. He turned to see his fellow chuunin Kotetsu Hagane grinning at him.
"Got your eye on the Hyuga heiress huh?" he asked knowingly.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Shikamaru said as he and Kotetsu climbed up the stairs.
"I don't blame you. She's one major hottie. I wonder what's she's hiding under her jacket," Kotetsu mused.
"Where the hell is Izumo and Raido?" Shikamaru asked while trying to change the subject.
"Eh, they'll be here soon enough. I left them arguing about who was hotter Tsunade-sama or the godaime Mizukage," Kotetsu said.
-Line Break-
"Huh, Huh, Huh," Hinata huffed as she finished her training for the day. After leaving Shikamaru, Hinata went straight to the waterfall, a place only she knew about that was secluded in the woods. Hinata had changed into her training clothes which was the mesh halter top she wore under her jacket, black spandex shorts and black shinobi sandals in place of the ones she regularly wore. She sat down under a large tree as she caught her breath. She had been training for the last two hours. After eating her lunch she made earlier while at Kurenai's, Hinata yawned as she felt her eyes grow heavy. Lying on top of her lavender jacket, Hinata soon fell asleep in no time. Meanwhile, a certain shadow possessor was passing through the woods.
"Stupid hag, had us waiting forever," Shikamaru fumed as he thought of how Tsunade kept them waiting for the last two hours only to show up wasted. As he was walking, he noticed a waterfall nearby and realized he had no idea where he was. He then noticed a girl lying under a tree near the waterfall.
"Who the hell is that?" he thought to himself as he walked towards her. As he got closer to the girl, he realized that the dark haired girl was Hinata. She was lying on her side fast asleep.
"This situation is a drag," he thought morosely as he put his hand on her shoulder to wake her up. Shaking her gently, Shikamaru said
"Hinata-chan, wake up" in a soft voice. When she didn't respond, Shikamaru said a slightly louder voice
"Wake up Hinata-chan." Suddenly, Hinata rolled over and Shikamaru felt his face drain of all color and covered his nose to stop the blood that was threatening to leak out as he gazed at the sight before him. Sitting on Hinata's chest were a set of the biggest and roundest breasts he'd ever seen.
"T-They're almost Tsunade-sized," he said in amazement as he leered at her breasts. He then looked at her face and blushed as he noticed that her cheeks were red as she slept, her mouth formed in a small 'o'. Shikamaru felt his pants tighten as he unconsciously licked his lips.
"What am I, a pervert?" Shikamaru scolded himself as he shook his head to rid himself of the dirty thoughts. Placing both hands on her shoulders, Shikamaru firmly shook her as he yelled
"Wake up!" Hinata's eyes fluttered open and immediately blushed when she realized that
Shikamaru was holding her shoulders. Looking around, Hinata realized where she was and gasped.
"Oh no, I must have fallen asleep," she said.
"Yeah, it looked like you had been out for a while," Shikamaru said as he helped Hinata to her feet. As she bent over to retrieve her jacket, Shikamaru felt his eyes wander over her ass, which was round and firm from years of training by herself. Shikamaru quickly raised his wandering eyes just as Hinata stood up. He noticed that she had a small waist with wide hips along with incredible looking legs. After redressing, Hinata blushed as she looked down in embarrassment as she poked her two index fingers together, a habit Shikamaru found cute on her.
"What is it? He asked as an unasked question appeared on her face.
"Umm, could you not tell anyone that you saw me without my jacket on?" she asked meekly.
Before he could stop himself, he asked "Why not?" before quickly slapping his hand over mouth.
"Because I don't want any attention drawn to me," Hinata said as she continued to poke her fingers together.
"I see. I understand what you mean," Shikamaru said.
"If it was anyone else that had seen her, they would have definitely told the world," Shikamaru thought dryly. Looking around, Shikamaru asked
"Where are we anyways?"
"I found this spot a few years back when Shino-kun, Kiba-kun, Naruto-kun and I did that mission where we were searching for the Bikochu beetle," Hinata stated. Looking at the sky, she noticed the sun was about to set.
"I need to get home," she muttered.
"I'll follow you since I don't know how the hell I ended up here," Shikamaru said as they leapt into the trees.
Two weeks later
Shikamaru was waiting at the same spot he found Hinata nearly two weeks ago. Since then, they've started spending more time together outside the time they spend with Kurenai, who has since given birth to a beautiful baby girl named Akane who had her mother's gorgeous ruby red eyes and her late father's facial features. As the two chuunin spent more time together, neither of them realized they were slowly but surely falling for each other. As Shikamaru was about to doze off, he felt a chakra source nearby and smiled. He saw Hinata running towards the tree with a picnic basket in her hand. Shikamaru found that out of the whole Rookie Nine, aside from Choji, he enjoyed Hinata's company the most. Unlike his mother, Ino, Sakura, and Temari, who all were bossy and annoyed him, Hinata was quiet, caring, and very considerate of people's feelings. He felt his heart race every time he was around her.
"Sorry I'm late Shika-kun, I left the house late," Hinata explained as she sat down next to him.
"That's fine," Shikamaru said waving it off. Hinata then started taking out food, most of them Shikamaru's favorites. He felt his mouth watering as she took out his personal favorite, sukonbu. After taking out a bowl of zenzai, they both started eating. Shikamaru thought he was in heaven when he bit into the sukonbu.
"Hinata-chan, you are the best cook ever," he said with his mouth full of kelp. A small blush appeared on Hinata's cheeks as Shikamaru complimented her cooking. She then noticed that Shikamaru had a piece of kelp stuck to his cheek. Giggling, Hinata reached over and with her thumb, flicked the piece of kelp away, stunning Shikamaru.
"Shika-kun, are you okay?" Hinata asked worriedly.
"Y-Yeah, I'm fine Nata-chan," Shikamaru stuttered as a pale but noticeable stain appeared on his cheeks. Nearly fifteen minutes later, the two were leaning against the tree watching the clouds.
"Gah, it's too damn hot," Shikamaru complained before he took off his chuunin vest and laid it on the ground. He then proceeded to take off his black turtleneck shirt, revealing the fishnet shirt underneath. Hinata blushed as she saw how the shirt stretched against his broad chest and across his muscles. A few minutes later, Shikamaru had fallen asleep with his head on Hinata's lap. Hinata noticed how relaxed Shikamaru looked while he slept.
"Wow, I didn't realize Shikamaru was this good-looking, how could I have not notice this?" she thought to herself as a blush appeared on her face. Just as she was about to fall asleep herself, she felt a familiar chakra source coming. Choji appeared a few seconds later.
"Hey Choji-kun what's up?" she asked. Choji smiled at the scene he was looking before saying
"You, Shikamaru, and I have to report to Tsunade-sama for a mission."
"Alright let me wake up Shika-kun," Hinata said before proceeding to roll Shikamaru off her lap, his face square in the
grass, promptly waking him.
"Hey, what's the big idea?" he complained while rubbing his face.
"All three of us have a mission Shikamaru, so up and at'em," Choji said while having a smirk on his face.
"Damn it, what a drag," he drawled as he put back on his black turtleneck and chuunin vest.
"All right, let's go," Shikamaru said as all three leapt into the trees. As they were jumping through the trees, Shikamaru said
"Hey Choji, did Tsunade-sama say what kind of mission it was?"
"Nope," he replied as the three shinobi continued to jump through the trees heading back to the village.
