I own absolutely nothing, but you can wish can't you? :)

7 Copy (ItaNaru)

It had been a week since he started watching the blond angel train, not that he had copied anything yet. He had been there day after day, always observing the blond when he was training, but never copying any of the moves. It was his intentions at first, copying everything he could, but he simply couldn't do it. He just stayed hidden and watched the blond as he trained his ass of.

It constantly amazed him how innocent Naruto was. Itachi knew that if Naruto wanted he could just use the shadow clones to do all the work, but not once outside of sparing did he use them. He had overheard a conversation Naruto had with Kakashi, and he now knew that Naruto simply didn't want to cheat, he wanted to figure it out on his own, and he didn't want any advantages over his friends. Sure I would be easier, quicker, but he wouldn't be satisfied when he won.

And that was why Itachi simply couldn't copy Naruto. He couldn't rob that innocent kid for all his hard work. It wouldn't feel right. And as Itachi slowly left the training ground he couldn't help but chuckle a bit. Who had ever heard about a missing nin who didn't use everything to their advantage? What a strange kid Uzumaki was, always able to bring out the best in people.

8 Daisy (ShikaNaru)

they hadn't been going out that long, actually not more that about a week, and they still hadn't told people about them, it was just too troublesome. But Shikamaru had learned a lot of new stuff about the blond mystery. Before he didn't know what to believe. People always called the blond naive, stupid and loud. He agreed at a point, but he still knew that there was so much more. And he was right. When they started going out he discovered that there was so much more to Naruto.

That was also why he got a bit choked at their first date. It was the the day after Shikamaru had asked Naruto out, and there was nothing official yet. Shikamaru had expected that they would go get some ramen, and that was it. But that wasn't what Naruto had planned. Blinded with his forehead protector he was led to a big field filled with daisies. When he opened his eyes he was surprised, understandable, and even more so when he was told that they were cloud watching. As it turns out Naruto liked to relax and take it easy sometimes.

Naruto was many things. Sometimes he was as stupid as they come, but it was not because he was stupid stupid, but more because he newer had someone to teach him what was right and what was wrong. That and he was way to hyperactive. He was loud at times, but that was more to get attention, be it good or bad, because some attention, even bad, was better than no attention. He was naive, funny and very sunny. But most of all, he was a complete mystery, a mystery Shikamaru refused to let go.

9 Opposite (ShinoNaru)

They were like night and day. Creatures living under different skies. Both forces of nature, but still so different. Naruto was a sunny creature. Always seeking praise and attention. Hair a golden color and completely messy and spiky, skin kissed by the sun and eyes so blue that the heaven paled in comparison. He was a bright and happy person, always smiling, loud and helping people in need. He was like a puff of fresh air on the hottest day in the year.

Shino was completely opposite. Where Naruto was a creature for he sun, he was a creature brought by the night. Always staying hidden in the shadow. His long high necked coat hid most of him, and what wasn't hidden by the coat was hidden behind his black sunglasses. He was silent as the grave, only ever talked when he had no choice, moving around in the shadow. A complete mystery. He loved mind games, always leaving hints, silver eyes looking on in amusement as people tried he understand his small games, but newer quite did. Everything hidden behind a blank facade.

But even though they were so opposite the were attracted to each other, somehow always understanding the other. Shino was the fist one to discover the sunny creature, and Naruto was the only one who ever understood the countless mind games. It was like a battle of wills. No one ready to give up before everything about the other was uncovered. Feelings bloomed between these creatures, they understood, but you know what they say, opposites attract.
