Hello guys, this is the chapter I have promised you. I hope you enjoy it. Feel free to send me a message if you want. I love it when making new friends, no matter their sex. I am listening to a shippuden soundtrack 2 track 25- shirohae and it totally fit the scene from the flashback to the end! ENJOY!

When I arrived at Shikamaru's room, he was sitting at his bed and resting his eyes outside, on the full moon.

"Hey, Shikamaru, did you want to talk to me?"

"Yes, please sit down."

I did as I was told. I sat next to him and waited. The next thing I knew, his arms were pulling me into an embrace.

"Do you really like that troublesome guy?" he asked after a while.

"Neji? Yes, I like him; he is fun to be with, but I don't love him; if you are asking about that."

"Tell me, whom do you love?" I blushed as he broke the hug.

"I'm not going to tell you. I am really embarrassed."

"Ok then, I'll tell you whom I love since the day I saw her; it was some weeks ago, when my parents adopted you. I was laying underneath a tree…"

FLASHBACK – SHIKAMARU'S P.O.V.

Look at these beautiful clouds, they are fluffy and careless. I never really liked the ninja life. All I wanted was a wife; not too beautiful, not too ugly, and two children.

My thoughts were cut short by a girl who sat next to me, watching the clouds.

"I like the clouds. They look so free and people love them, because they make rain or protect them from the sun, by making shade. I like my shadow too. It's like an empty me; the only negative about it is that the shadow is attached to a person. Now that I think about it, I would like to be a cloud, a careless free little cloud, traveling around the world. How about you Shikamaru Nii-san?"

With her words, I fell in love with her and the way she thought. We were the same. A half of a whole. I never answered her though; I just ignored it and she never asked again…

END FLASHBACK – FELIS P.O.V.

"I fell for that girl and day by day, I learned that her favorite color was purple and that she didn't like the ninja life, either. I learned that she cared deeply for her friends and never wants to hurt them. So, do you know for who I am talking about?"

I was so shocked he said those things. Does that mean… that's what he said!

"…Me?..." I half asked whispering.

"Yes Felis; only you and that's why I got pissed with that Neji. I'm in love with you."

He leaned in and his warm lips pressed against mine. It only lasted a few seconds, but I could feel his softness. When his warmth was gone, I placed my fingers on my lips, with wide eyes still processing the whole thing.

He kept waiting for me to say or do something but I was still shocked. It all happened so fast and now, everything has changed! But I was sure of my feelings and for what I wanted.

"If you don't feel the same way, then…" I silenced him with my lips and it was his turn to be surprised.

When I pulled away, we were both blushing.

"Does that mean that you love me too?"

"You aren't that much of a genius, after all, right?" I teased him.

He chuckled and kissed my cheek in response.

"I don't know what I am supposed to say, because I always thought that it's too troublesome being into a relationship, but I guess I should ask you to be my girlfriend. Will you do me the extreme honor to be?"

"Yes!" I said hugging him and tackling him on the bed, so I was on top of him.

We both blushed, when we realized our position.

He walked me to my room and kissed me goodnight. When the door closed behind him, I started squealing, but silenced the sounds I produced with my pillow.

I couldn't believe that we were together!

I drifted to sleep, thinking about Shikamaru…

Next chapter will be up by Wednesday! Love you all!
