Hi! I am back, for another chapter… 7? Whatever, anyway, I decided to use my idea for the first or second chapter of FGTBAB…I wasn't so good at acronyms…. Anyway, here you go!

April 8

Dear Diary,

Yesterday everyone stared at my person after my…Shikamaru's stunt. How dare that boy embarrass me like that! I will not stand it. I demand respect from him, even if my heart tripled in speed as face got closer to me, and I may have blushed.

Shikamaru was making my life so much harder, and he just fell asleep. His hair is… soft looking…

His hair is very soft and he is… cute… when he sleeping.

Blissful Fox

April 9,

Today Shikamaru and I got permission from Iruka-sensei to leave class, as Shikamaru and I are weeks ahead of the rest of the class. We went to the large hill south of the academy, about a 10 minute walk. We have been here since 8 o'clock. It is about 7 or so, an hour or so after classes, and remedial classes. I am leaning against the tree on top of the hill, Shika's head on my lap, his now normal position. I am wearing a plain yellow shirt, and black capris. I wasn't wearing any shoes today. Shika is asleep, his breathe slow and even. I am happy… I think…

"Hey, Suki, can I ask you a question?" Shikamaru mumbled.

"…" I was silent, putting my diary in my small bag at my side.

"Do you think clouds care that they are always drifting…" Shikamaru whispered, staring now at the dark clouds in the sky. I was silent for a moment, dark clouds drifted over Konoha, sun light slowly fading away. We were both tense, waiting for an attack.

"I think if they had any thoughts, I think they would think of it as always moving forward…" I whispered back as a large /CRACK/ filled the sky. Instantly, the sky ripped open, rain falling across the hill. "EEEEEEEEEEEE!" I jumped up, my bag swung over my head and onto my shoulder. Shikamaru jumped up as I moved, grabbing my hand and took off running down the hill.

"Shit!" Shikamaru slipped, he tried to let go of my hand but I pulled on him, using chakra to stick to the water infused ground. We continued to run, slipping and falling often until we reached the academy.

"Nasuki! Shikamaru? What are you two doing back here! It's pouring out!" Iruka shouted at the door. He ushered us in, walking into the teachers conference room, pulling out two emergency towels, handing one to Shikamaru and I. "I will heat up some water for tea!" Iruka rushed out, his mothering instincts kicking in.

Shikamaru walked over to me, drying my hair in gentle rubs, as I wiped at his face. He was taller than me, about 5 or so inches, so the movements weren't awkward. He began to dry at my face, wiping at the small flecks of dried mud, and the small amount of water still collected around my nose and lips. He began to lean in, his breathe on mine…so close…

"OH! I am so sorry!" We broke apart in a flash. I was blushing, Iruka was blushing and Shikamaru continue to dry himself off. I gingerly grabbed a cup of tea, its warmth spreading through my body. Iruka moved about, gathering tests and other papers to grade at home. He put on a coat, and reached for his umbrella, as he finally said, "Shikamaru I sent a message to your parents and your mother is on her way with an umbrella, Nasuki, you are welcome to come with me."

"No thank you, Shikamaru has agreed to allow me to spend a night at his home." I softly said.

"Okay, I would finish the tea, and I hope to see you both tomorrow. Good day!" Iruka walked out.

I glanced out the window, noticing a shock of silver hair, and smiled softly.

"Nasuki, are you still cold?" Shikamaru asked, holding out his green tea.

"I am fine, No worries, Shika…maru." I blushed at my slip.

"I am fine with you calling me Shika, Suki." He got closer to me, once again, his breathe danced a sweet tango with mine. I leaned forward, our lips just barely brushed when we heard a loud /CRACK/. I immediately began to smell smoke.

"I think lightning stru…/SNAP/" We heard a loud bang and saw a flickering flame from outside the door. Shikamaru grabbed my hand, pulling me close as we walked to the door. When he pulled it open, the flames dance in my eyes, terrible memories joined the flames as I heard the screams of the past.

"NASUKI! PLEASE HELP! AHHHHHHH! IT BUR…"

How could you let him die! You could have saved him! You could have saved all of them! Why! WHY!

"Nasuki! Nasuki! We have to go!" Shikamaru shook me, pulling me from the memory. He tugged at me, rushing through the burning hallway, behind us, a rafter splintered and fell.

"AAAHH!" I screamed, not in fear of my own life, but of losing Shikamaru's. He pulled me closer, running through the flames when another rafter fell in front of us. He jumped, and held out a hand to me. As I reached out to grab it, the floor collapsed. I fell, the last thing I saw before darkness took me, was Shikamaru being pulled back by a man, he fear stricken face being etched into my mind.

I know, 'only one journal entry! There is two with every one!' I promise that it will happen, but the next chapter is the after math, and yes, Suki and Shika finally kiss!
