"Down, down, down! The coppers are comin'! Repeat, the coppers are comin'!" Naruto yelled from the walkie-talkie. Shikamaru took the cigarette out of his mouth, and put the walkie-talkie to his mouth. "Kay. On it," He whispered. Kiba was finishing stuffing jewelry into a bag. He smiled as he took out a diamond ring. "This is for Sakura." He whispered to Shikamaru. Shikamaru rolled his eyes, putting the cigarette back in his mouth. "And I got this for Yumi," Shikamaru took out a ruby necklace. "Now come on; let's get outta here." Kiba nodded, putting the bag over his shoulders.
"So why didn't Sasuke and Neji come?" Shikamaru and Kiba looked down the street as they hid in the shadows. "They were busy going to the rally. They both had a fight." Shikamaru whispered. They both ran from the alley, and eventually got to the big deserted building they were staying in. …for now, anyway.
Once they got inside, Yumi and Sakura greeted them. "Shika!" Yumi ran to Shikamaru, wrapping her arms around him. Shikamaru hugged her back. "Hey, toots." Yumi looked at his face, and gave him a small smile. Kiba and Sakura kissed roughly, and then he took out the ring. "Here you go, babe." Sakura smiled, and then put it on, to find it was too big. "You mutt!" She yelled as she threw it at him. "You don't even love me enough to find the right ring size!" Kiba flinched. "Sorry, sweetheart. I thought you were a 9." "I'm an 8, you moron!" Shikamaru rolled his eyes. "Come on, guys. Let's go."
Yumi was a sweet girl, who usually was known for her hairstyle: she put her hair in pigtails, with most of her hair still coming down. Its color was brown with natural blonde highlights, or blonde with natural brown streaks. You couldn't tell. Her eyes were a beautiful deep blue, and she was short for her age, which was 17. She wore a shirt that showed her stomach, and a mini-skirt with fish net leggings. And she was in love with Shikamaru.
They all got into Kiba's ford mustang, which was red with a white strip. Yumi and Sakura were in the back, while Shikamaru and Kiba were in the front.
When they got there, Shikamaru pulled up the collar of his leather jacket, and wrapped an arm around Yumi. Kiba smiled and put his arms around Sakura's waist. They walked inside, and saw that Sasuke's match was up. He was fighting the other gang captain, Shino. Shikamaru was their gang captain.
Sasuke's girlfriend, Ciyasha, was next to him, cheering him on. She was actually quite attractive. She had, as the guys say, "all the right curves" in the right places, and she had long jet black hair. Her eyes were a deep, rich brown, and her lashes were long. "Okay, babe." Ciyasha said, rubbing his shoulders. "You can beat him, easy… Just don't let him punch your weak spot." She put a hand on his chest. "Kay, toots." Sasuke kissed her quickly, and then got back up. Shino smirked, and they started fighting again.
"Woo!" All the drunken boys screamed and cooed for Ciyasha. "Shut up, you bitches." She yelled. "Or I'll go down there and kick your white trash asses!" They all "Oh…ed". Shikamaru walked up to one of the front seats and sat in it, Yumi sitting in his lap. "I got you something…" He whispered. Shikamaru took out her necklace, and then gently put it on her. Yumi gasped. "Oh, Shikamaru!" "Yumi, I know that you certainly don't like the gang life, but you deal with it. And I love you." Shikamaru kissed her gently. Yumi blushed, and wrapped her arms around him.
"Oh! Look at the tough leader!" Shikamaru released his kiss, and looked at Chouji, who was mocking him from the other side. "Chouji…" Shikamaru gently put Yumi in a different chair, and walked to the area where Chouji was, along with Shino's other gang members.
"Hey, I don't have time for your crap." Shikamaru yelled, taking out an 6 inch switch blade. "Hey, no blades!" Kimimaru yelled, getting up. Shikamaru growled, and then put it back in his pocket. "Okay…but next time, I promise, I'll slit your fucking throat!" Chouji smiled. "Oh, I'm scared!" Shikamaru sighed as he walked back to Yumi, and she sat on his lap again.
Sasuke one the match, and once Shino went back to their side of the fighting area. Sakura unwrapped Kiba's arms, telling him she had to go to the bathroom. She walked to Shino, and then wrapped her arms around him as she kissed him deeply. "I missed you," Shino whispered, gently putting his fingers through her hair. "When are you going to dump that mutt?" Sakura shrugged, kissing him again. "I don't know... as soon as I get the information you want, I promise I will." Shino smiled, gently putting his hands on her waist. "I'll be glad when you do... He's not that hansom, and doesn't have ANY class..." Sakura smiled. "He stole me a diamond ring that wasn't even my size!" Shino chuckled. "Okay, you better go. I'll be here, waiting for you." Sakura smiled, and kissed him gently.
Ciyasha wrapped her arms around Sasuke, kissing him gently. "Good job, sweetheart." "Thank you, babe..." Sasuke put his shirt on, and they walked to Shikamaru. "Where's Neji?" Shikamaru shrugged, and Yumi was asleep in his chest. "I haven't seen him... Hey, I'm gonna put Yumi in the car for a little while. How long will you be?" Sasuke and Ciyasha looked at each other, and Sasuke smiled. "It depends…" "On what?" Shikamaru asked suddenly. "We were hoping to catch a movie tonight. It's right across the street, and we could bust in and get some good seats for free." Shikamaru looked at Yumi as he gently brushed his hand on her cheek. "Kay…but no loud, scary ones. You know what those do to her." Ciyasha smiled. "Come on, let's go!"
They drove Sasuke's dark blue corvette to the movies, and then Shikamaru had to wake Yumi up. "Babe…wake up, toots…" Yumi slowly opened her eyes, and then yawned as she dug her face into Shikamaru's chest. "Yumi, come on. We gotta jump this fence. Don't you wanna see a movie?" Yumi opened her eyes, and then looked at him. "You know I'm not good at climbing fences." Shikamaru smiled. "Get on my back. I'll carry ya." Yumi climbed on his back, and put her head in his back. "Shika, I wanna cuddle…" She wined as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "We can cuddle whenever we get home, sweets…" Yumi nodded, and Shikamaru started climbing the fence.
Ciyasha and Sasuke were already waiting at the ground, and Sasuke wrapped an arm around her. "So you wanna seat in the back? Or do you wanna sit in the front?" Ciyasha smiled. "Let's go in the back…" Shikamaru and Yumi held hands, and then sat in one seat together. Once Shikamaru sat down, Yumi sat on top of him and put her head in his chest. "Hey, what's the matta, babe?" Yumi shook her head. "Last night you weren't there to cuddle with me, and I couldn't sleep…" Shikamaru wrapped her arms around her. "Come on. How about I make out to you?" Yumi giggled as he touched his nose with hers. "You mean, 'make up'?" Shikamaru chuckled under his breathe. "No. I mean make out." Yumi laughed, and then kissed him.
Throughout the movie, there was a girl who spun her head, and Yumi got scared and started crying, so Shikamaru and Yumi left; while, Ciyasha and Sasuke on the other hand, enjoyed the movie quite well. "Wanna coke?" Shikamaru asked as he kissed her cheek. "Maybe it'll calm you down." Yumi smiled. "Can I have a Dr. Pepper? Shikamaru nodded. He got in line, and he was the only one in line. "Gotcha. A DP." The guy said. Shikamaru waited, and when he got the drink gave it to Yumi. "Sir, that'll be 25 cents." He rolled his eyes, and then dug into his pockets and gave the guy a quarter. "There." Yumi opened her arms out, and Shikamaru picked her up. "Are you sure you don't wanna see a different movie?" Yumi nodded. "I'm fine."
Shikamaru and Yumi waited in the car, and then eventually Ciyasha and Sasuke came back out. "I'm glad that you guys left. That shit was scary!" Sasuke said as he climbed into the car. "You can hug on me, babe." Ciyasha said as she kissed Sasuke. Sasuke smiled, and then gently kissed her again. Ciyasha pushed him away while laughing. "Stop it!!!" She squealed. Yumi dug her face into Shikamaru's chest. "I'm scared!" Yumi whispered. Shikamaru smiled as he wrapped his arms around her. "Looks like your gonna get lucky tonight," Sasuke teased as he winked. Yumi opened her eyes, and then looked up at him. "What does that mean?" She asked in a whisper, gently kissing his chin. Shikamaru laughed. "It's…an inside joke, toots." Yumi yawned, and Shikamaru wrapped his arms tighter around her. "Can we please go home?" "Yes…"
They drove home, going around 90 MPH on a 40 speed limit. They parked at a large, dark 3 story building, and got out. Yumi was asleep, so Shikamaru picked her up and carried her inside. "We're home…" He whispered in her ear. Yumi opened her eyes slowly, and then closed them again. "Carry me to my bed…please?" Shikamaru kissed her forehead, and they walked inside.
Ciyasha grabbed Sasuke's hand, and they walked to the door, unlocking it, and then running in. "ANYBODY HOME!?!?!" Ciyasha screamed. There was a groan, and Neji came out with only his underwear on, and his hear down. "Keep it down! I can hear you from the 3rd floor!" They had a stairway that you could see every floor. Sasuke had just found it one day. It had working electricity, water, and best of all it was free. No rent. So they all moved in.
Ciyasha and Sasuke walked to the 2nd floor. "Night, Neji. Tell TenTen I said hi." Neji nodded. "Will do." Then he walked back to his room. Sasuke gently kissed Ciyasha's cheek. "Let's go upstairs." He whispered. "I'm tired from tonight's match…" "Don't think about that girl's head spinning. Just don't think about how anyone could be controlled by the devil. Just don't think about it." "SHUT UP!" Sasuke pouted, and then they laughed as they walked into their room.
Shikamaru carried Yumi into their room, and he set her down gently. "I love you…" She whispered as she put a hand out for him. He smiled as he took it, and then gently kissed it. "I love you too, beautiful…" Yumi blushed slightly. "When are you going to bed?" He shrugged. "Just gotta smoke a smoke real quick." Yumi rolled her eyes. "I don't get you… You smoke 'cause you think it makes you look cool, but all it does is give you bad breath!" Shikamaru chuckled. "But you know you think it's sexy…" "Sometimes…" Shikamaru kissed her cheek. "I'll be back in about 5."
Shikamaru closed the door, and then walked outside to the balcony. Ciyasha was there, smoking one. She was an okay smoker. Only smoked about 3 or 4 a day. Only 4 on a bad day, or when she was trying to look bad in front of all the other strangers. But other than that, she was actually really nice. She just didn't like to show it until she was surrounded by people she knew well.
"Hey, Ciya." Ciyasha looked, and then smiled as she removed the smoke from her lips. "Hey, Shika." Shikamaru grabbed a smoke from his box, and then grabbed Ciyasha's lighter as he lit it. "So," He exhaled a big circle of smoke. "How's Sasuke doin'?" Ciyasha smiled. "He's good... Just I think that he's getting tired of fighting... And, to tell the truth, I actually kinda like that." Shikamaru nodded, inhaling a deep breath. "But, don't get me wrong, I love the roar of the crowd and everything..." She chuckled. "Now I'm just babbling..." "No. Go on," Ciyasha really didn't speak about her feelings much, so Shikamaru tapped on his cigarette, and continued listening. "He's just...in so much danger all the time! It gets me worried... but without the gang life, he and I wouldn't be the same." Shikamaru nodded. "Well," He exhaled again. "I think that's how Yumi feels... I don't know. It kinda happened real fast... I remember it like it was yesterday." He chuckled. "May as well been..."
"I remember that I was sitting in Geography, and I was writing something down when I realized that it was a bunch of shit." He quickly covered his mouth as he looked at her. "Pardon my language. Damn, I need to watch my mouth in front of you!" Ciyasha chuckled. "It's fine. I'm practically one of them..." Shikamaru rolled his eyes. "Anyway, I realized that all along, we didn't need that. Look at us now! We're livin' the life. Didn't even graduate..." Ciyasha listened, while exhaling her smoke. "Go on," She said, and then took a drink of the coke that was by her. "Anyway, so while we were in lunch, I told her about my plan, to live life to the fullest. At first she was real hesitant, afraid of what would happen. But eventually she got into the idea and finally agreed to it. She was actually...kinda excited if I remember..." He looked at his watch. "Oh, fu-fudge." He saved himself quickly. "Hey, I gotta go upstairs to check on the little devil herself. See ya later." Ciyasha smiled as she waved goodbye, and he ran out from the balcony.
Shikamaru ran quickly to his room. Once he got there, he saw Yumi was crying on the floor. "Yumi," He walked over to her and picked her up, wrapping his arms around her. "Sh...Sh...What's wrong sweetheart?" Yumi wrapped her arms around him. "J-just a bad dream from that movie." She whispered. Shikamaru shushed her, gently petting her hair, and kissing her forehead. "It's okay...Shika's here now..." Yumi sniffed, and put her face in his chest. "I-I love you," She whispered. "S-so much," He nodded, gently stroking her hair. "Okay... Now, let's get some sleep?" He whispered, slowly putting her back on the bed. Yumi nodded. "O-okay..." Shikamaru crawled in with her, and set his head by hers as he wrapped his arms around her, still shushing her. "Sh... Go to sleep, my beauty..."
