Chapter 1- Love story

Shikamaru's point of view

It's been three months. Naru is still feeling miserable. She and I used to be very close, now she pushed me away and she doesn't even look me in the eye anymore. I've done everything I could to make her feel better, bring her outside, take her out to dinner, come over to her house and bring her ramen.

It's still the same, it's inconvenient of me to be her new boyfriend, and I'm not making her feel better.

I sat down on the roof top, thinking how long this could just last. The sky is so beautiful to watch on, it's so calm, and it doesn't have a broken heart. My father is the greatest thing that happened in my life, but now, I don't even know what he's up to once in a while. That's why the only person I have is Naru. There's actually Ino, but she's like a sister to me too. The three of us haven't been in touch lately, stupid life.

Naru's love for Sasuke is so strong, they've been the greatest couple that I've seen in my whole life, but how can Naru not see what was going on? Was she just standing there looking like damn?

All I have to say I why?

I met Naru, exactly about 5 years now. Ever since she was about 7th grade, she was my best friend, even if I was 2 years older than her. She was a youngin' I know, but she was a very happy fellow. Before, she used to run to me and talk to me about all of her problems, and I'd tell her the same. Then we'd sit in my room, trying to talk any kind of things after we were done venting with each other, it was fun.

But I didn't notice that she had feelings for me. She used to say I love you as most frequent as she could, and I thought it was just a friend way; it was more than that.

Around September 23 2931, I was around 14 and she was 12, she brought me a laptop, her mother gave her money to buy whatever she wanted, from America.

She's a sweet child… God bless this girl.

Basically, she was a computer genius, unlike every other girl throughout Konoha, and she has a lot of potential. She's very wise even if she's loud, obnoxious, and irritating. She's not perfect, but to everyone, they love her just the way she is.

Around when she was 13 and I was 15, we were talking on the computer I saved the conversation because I didn't want to forget about it… and bad things happened. I don't want to say it in words; it's IMing after all…

EternalxFlower: MORNING! :D

Shikamaru7316: Hi hi Naru.

EternalxFlower: x3 Watcha doing?

Shikamaru7316: Not much, just waiting for my sister to get off the couch so I can watch a movie.

Shikamaru7316: How about you?

EternalxFlower: Broke up with Sasuke, again. We fight all the time.

Shikamaru7316: But you guys end up being together anyway.

EternalxFlower: I don't know about this one. For some reason, it was weird because my sister was bragging about how soft Sasuke's lips are.

Shikamaru7316: Ummmm… you're talking about Sakura right?

EternalxFlower: Obviously, she's the only sister I have. Stupid.

Shikamaru7316: Hey, don't call me stupid. I'm just a weirdo.

EternalxFlower: It means the same thing, but I love you that way. ^__^

Shikamaru7316: Thanks! I love you that way too otome-chan :D

EternalxFlower: Ewww, you still call me that? I don't even call you pops anymore. You're too old to be called that.

Shikamaru7316: *staring at screen* Right…

EternalxFlower: Right! So how's love life for you Shika-kun?

Shikamaru7316: I don't know, I've been single for a while…

Shikamaru7316: And I think you know that already ;)

EternalxFlower: Do you want to have a girlfriend right now?

Shikamaru7316: Sure why not?

EternalxFlower: Well..

EternalxFlower: I've liked you for a while now…

EternalxFlower: And I was wondering, will you go out with me?

Shikamaru7316: Naru…

Shikamaru7316: I only love you as a friend… I'm sorry ;[

She didn't reply to me after an hour. I found out that she was crying after that.

Shikamaru7316: Naru?

EternalxFlower: I… Sorry for the late reply… I had to stop my baby cousin from crying…

Shikamaru7316: Really?

Shikamaru7316: Nevermind, so you want to go cruising?

EternalxFlower: Actually…

EternalxFlower: Maybe next time. I need to sleep.

EternalxFlower: Umm… I'll just talk to you next time.

EternalxFlower: Good-bye, Shikamaru.

But the truth was, she never really kept in touch afterwards. I visited her school, Konoha High, but they said that she doesn't go to that school anymore. And that's when I found out that she ran away from home because she didn't want to know anything about me anymore. I am very popular besides Sasuke. He's the leader of our group called R1. But, I'm no longer in it because I'm in love with Naru.

Call me a fool, but Sasuke's an idiot for letting her go.

I found Naru four days straight, and I found out that she was working very hard to earn money. She wanted to go to South Carolina to find her mother who was already waiting for her to come and live with her but I told her that I'm not worth it because I'm stupid and dumb and nothing good is going to happen if she kept on relying on me.

She didn't feel good about it, but she agreed but she didn't trust me so much after that.

I fell in love with her too, but that was the time when she was finally getting together with Sasuke. They were both so happy being together that he even brought me back on the gang. It was sad because that's when the same thing happened. We were best friends again but, she no longer treated me the same.

I called her one night to get things straight with her, I thought she would still have feelings for me, but sadly, her feelings for me no longer existed.

"Hi Shika," she said softly.

"Hi Naru," I smiled on the phone. I heard her giggle from a corner. I waited patiently because I heard Sakura screaming 'NARU! Can I borrow your slippers!? Ino wouldn't let me borrow her purple Jimmy Choos!"

After that, I heard a loud crash then Naru came back on the phone. "So what's up?"

"Not much. I can hear you're busy."

"Not too busy… There's nothing much to do but get annoyed with my sister."

"Oh, well. Are you busy tonight?"

"Yeah, actually, Sasuke called me not too long ago. He wanted me to hang out with the gang. Are you going?"

"Nah, he didn't invite me anyway."

"Really? Oh my, that's horrible! Do you want me to call him? Is that why you wanted to call me?"

"No! No thanks, I don't want to go. I called to ask you for something."

I knew that Naru hesitated. I heard a loud sigh after that, she said said quietly. "What is it?"

I didn't complain. It took me a moment until I spoke once again. "I-I love you Naru…"

"Aww! I love you too Shika! We'll be the best brothers and sisters ever!"

"…NOT THAT WAY!" I shouted. She stopped, and silent. "I want to ask you… will you go out with me?"

She locked her heart, I knew that because I had to wait for a very long time before she responded. I thought she was going to be happy and say 'YES! Shika, I love you! I've been waiting for you for so long!"

But instead she said something else.

"I don't love you the way you love me anymore."

You see how I'm just a little too late? Don't you just love my love story?

But now, I have her, she's all mine. I won't let her go… ever.
