Chapter 10- healing slowly
Sitting at the table with my brothers it stays quiet. I poke and move the food with my fork and let out a sigh. My two younger brothers looked at each other then at me.
"You can't let him get to you" gaara says to me.
"I think it is kind of too late" I say.
"There is more people out there" kankuro said.
"Yeah I guess" I get up with my eyes closed and walk out of the dinning room a single tear strolls down my cheek.
"I don't think we should have interfered" kankuro said watching as I leave
"What do you mean? We did see him with ino at the beach" gaara said taking another bite of his food.
"Yeah and also the rest of their friends"
"Well she took it the wrong was it's her fault. She doesn't need to worry about boys anyway" gaara explained getting up.
"Yeah I guess" kankuro said. I walk out the door and onto the streets. I look up and see a lit up fairies wheel. I walk to the gates of the amusement park and I get on the huge wheel. looking at the stars that lay above me shining brightly. i whisper to myself as i sit at the top of the wheel.
"why do you have such an effect on me...? shikamaru..."
Closing the door behind me I silently walk down the steps of my house with my backpack on me walking into the village. I look around as the village would stay silent only heard by the crickets and the twenty four hour shop that lit the street. Walking past it I hear a familiar voice. Turning around I see neji walking out of the store along with hinata.
"S-shikamaru…? What are you doing?" hinata asked in a shy like voice.
"Yeah, usually you would be in bed." Neji added eyeing my backpack.
"I got a mission. What are you two doing?" I ask.
"Hinata's dad asked us to go and get some stuff for the morning" neji said.
"Oh. See you guys in a couple of days" I say walking away. Hinata looks at her cousin.
"What is wrong neji-kun?" she asks
"Tsunade wouldn't give a mission this late" neji said running after me. Hinata dropped the food in the bags and followed him. I stopped once I had stepped into the heart of the forest that lay some distance away from the sand village.
Someone is following me…how come I didn't know that before? I quickly turned around throwing a kunai at the bush behind me. Neji and hinata come jumping out landing in front of me. I glare at them.
"Go home" I urge.
"I knew it, your going to see temari" neji said
"This has nothing to do with you"
"Your forgetting her brothers are stronger then you, and if you go there uninvited they are easily going to attacked" neji said making a point.
"Fine. Keep up" I say running again. They follow quickly behind me and we enter the village by then the sun hung beautifully over the village. We look around as 3 kids run our way.
"Hey! It is the hidden leaf ninja!" a little boy said
"Can we have you sign our backpacks?" a girl asked tugging on my shirt. Nodding me, neji, and hinata sign each of their backpacks. A teenage girl runs up to us.
"Thank you" she greeted.
"No problem. We had no idea we were so popular here" hinata smiled.
"Yeah, ever since you guys practically save our village from those akatsuki's we are very grateful" she said bowing.
"your welcome" I say.
"you guys on a mission?" she asks.
"no, more like vacation" neji said.
"we are so happy you came here! Have a good time if you need anything, we sand ninja are happy to give you whatever you please" nodding we walk down the street being waved at by all of the villagers it felt kind of good.
I walk into the school and sat down on the stairs reading a book. I was still hurt but healing very slowly. As I turn the page I hear a conversation. By a group of girls in front of me. Only catching the word "akatsuki" I run up to them.
"hey, what did you just say?" I ask.
"today I seen the leaf ninja's who saved our village from the akatsuki" hearing this my eyes grow widely.
Did his keep his promise? Is he really here?
