Sorry it's taken so long for me to update, Things have been hectic and stuff.
I wanted to thank everyone who's followed this story and such! Thanks and I hope you enjoy the slightly longer chapter! Please review please!
The night wind was cold against my bare skin. Where could I go? Who would take in a whore like me? Tired of walking I laid against a stone wall and slide down to sit on the cold damp ground. I shut my eyes for a bit to rest, it had turned into night since I had left Sasuke's house.
"How troublesome." I opened my eyes and looked up at the man in front of me who nudged me with his foot. "And I wasn't even expecting company." I quickly got up and stepped away from the door behind me.
"S-s-sorry." he looked at me curiously, it seemed as if he knew me, but I barely remember anything from before.
"It couldn't be." he leaned in closer, "Uzumaki? Naruto Uzumaki?" I slightly nodded, he chuckled and gave me a crooked smile."Never thought I'd see you again." closer to the ceiling light I was able to see his face better, his jet black hair was spiked in a high ponytail, his unmistakable brown bored eyes looked down at me.
"Shikamaru?" he smiled, taking me into his arm he led me into his apartment. He sat me down on his armchair and went into his small kitchen in the corner of the room. After a bit he returned with a cup of tea. I thanked him and let the hot liquid warm my inside.
"Not that its any of my business, but I haven't seen you since 3rd year. Where have you been?" I tried to respond but my tongue became dry, nothing came out. He must of noticed my uneasiness. "Well, where are you staying while you're here?"
"I don't have anywhere to stay…" he nodded and left down the hallway. Looking around his apartment it felt cozy, the walls were a nice light green, the carpet was white, there was one low window behind his small dining table with two mats on both sides. On my left was a small bookcase, on my right was a night stand with a small lamp. His kitchen was small with only a fridge, a small stove top, a sink with a cupboard above it and a small empty counter. I heard his light steps from the hall, he gave me a pile of folded clothes and led me to his bathroom.
"I hope you still like ramen, it's the only thing I got." I smiled.
"I love ramen." he smiled and left back down the hall, I walked in and placed his clothes on the sink and stripped down. I tied the string on the pajama pants, his shirt was loose on me, well looser than I was used to, the light scent of lavender tickled my nose, it was a nice smell. I took off my ripped up socks and slipped on his warm soft slippers. I was glad I had taken a bath so I wouldn't dirty his clothes. Walking out into the hall the smell of ramen excited my sense of smell. I placed the my clothes on the wooden chair in the corner of the room and walked to the small black table. Shikamaru placed the bowls of ramen on the table and sat across from me.
"Bonne appetite."
"Itadakimasu!" I broke the wooden chopsticks and ate the delicious ramen. I tried not to be rude by eating fast but couldn't help it, it was the only thing I've eaten in days. After we finished eating he took the dishes and put them in the sink, he sat me down in his armchair again, he sat on the wooden chair.
"You okay Naruto? You seem upset." I looked at Shikamaru, I think he deserved to know, he was being so nice letting me crash with him for the night. I swallowed and took a deep breath.
"Sasuke's getting married."
"Whats wrong with that?" I looked up at him, was he serious?
"But he's suppose to love me! He swore he'd love me always…" there was a lump growing in my throat, I tried to swallow to take the pressure off.
"I know you must feel betrayed, but he had to move on. Did you expect him to wait for you, not even knowing if you'd even come back?" I thought about all the pain I felt, of not having him with me, wondering if I'd ever even see him again, it hurt-that pain, I wouldn't have wanted him to feel that way.
"You're right. Its just I thought that when he found me he'd take me back into his life. Kinda pick up where we left off. I thought he'd still love me…" he nodded understanding what I was saying. He shuffled in his seat, after a bit he sighed.
"What happened to you? All those years ago?" I gulped, I never thought I'd ever tell anyone, but Shikamaru deserved to know.
"I was kidnapped…"
