Okay... guess I didn't really get many reviews but that's like, fine. I'll do better! n.n
Kabuto: they're just not amused by you. You bore them. Deathly so.
Naruto:... (blinks)
Narumi:... (stares)
Kabuto:... huh?
Naruto: (suddenly goes wide eyes with his mouth agape) Y-y-you! (points at Kabuto)
Narumi: (copies Naruto) You're supposed to be DEAD!! O.O
Kabuto: Oh, yeah... that... she made me watch teletubbies with her cat in a cellar somewhere... it was torture... (shivers) she... she made me dress up as a purple AILIAN!!
Yeah, and you kept ripping the costume off even thought you would be rendered with no clothes... so that's why you forced me to tie you up... your fault, really. Though... you did stop stripping in front of us when I put that rapist fanboy of yours down there with you...
Kabuto: you're cra-zy. (points accusingly)
Huh... maybe. Well, anyway... now I have someone to do my disclaimer again. Now... do it, Tinkie winkie. (smirks)
Kabuto: I am NOT T-t... ah... (glances at the cellar door that evil author started to open slowly)... (gulp)... Shadow doesn't own Naruto or any of it's characers... only her OC's and her plot to this story. (XxxShadowxHeartxWolfxxX)
Good good... it pleases me... I can start now.
XXXXXXX
Hearing footsteps, Sasuke growled in his throat in irritation, closing his eyes while a bead of sweat rolled, he rose and took Narumi's arm in his hand.
Loosing her breath as he pulled her to her feet sharply, Narumi looked confused. "Wh...what?"
"Erm... Just wait in here... quietly." he pushed her into his bedroom and shut the door behind himself hastily as he walked back into the hallway. He quickly started brushing his clothes out and smoothing his hair with his hand to mask what he was just doing.
"Yo." He heard someone call him from behind, Sasuke flinched, clenching his teeth and slowly turning his head to meet the gaze of the lazy genius.
"Um... hi..." he waved slowly to him with uncertainty.
"...What's wrong with you...?" Shikamaru raised an eyebrow, examining Sasuke's slightly-disshelved appearance.
"...Is everyone using my house as their own retreat without my permission...?" Sasuke grumbled, running his hand down his face in a small irritation that bubbled up in him. "I was just... practicing a new jutsu ... takes a lot of concentration... Now, why are you in my house?" his eyes narrowed and he waited for an answer irritably.
"...Naruto said that Narumi would probably be with you... wanted me to go check." he explained, eyeing the door that Sasuke stood in front of "...I came over to your house and the door was open... I got kinda curious as well so I just came in. You didn't respond when I rang the doorbell and knocked so..."
"Oh..." Sasuke glared, "Well I'm fine... you can go now..." he said, "...Haven't seen Narumi since I left you guys back there..."
"Oh, well, okay... If you say so..." Shikamaru shrugged, he turned from Sasuke and started walking towards the stairs, Sasuke reached for his doorknob but stopped when Shikamaru turned his head half-way to look at him.
A thin line of liquid was visable for a moment as it ran down Sasuke's temple, Sasuke and Shikamaru stared eachother in the eyes.
...silence.
Sasuke clenched his teeth behind his frown, eyebrows furrowed.. Shikamaru looked bored, his eyes half-lidded as he scrutinized the Uchiha.
"... See ya..." he half waved, walking down the stairs and leaving Sasuke's house. Sasuke heard the door shut behind him as he left.
...Standing there in the silence once again, he waited.
...nothing.
"..." Sasuke registered for a second...
... With a spin towards the door, "... yeah..." he muttered to himself, turning the knob and opening the door quietly.
"Um... Sasuke?" Narumi raised an eyebrow, her arms crossed as she watched him walk in and shut the door behind him. "Why did you have me wait in here, anyways?" she blinked, putting a finger to the side of her mouth in slight confusion.
"Er... you... have... ah..." he was at a loss for words, swallowing and fighting a blush, averting and closing his eyes while crossing his arms. "...Sorry."
"What? Sasuke, what?" she pressed, "I-I mean... if it was about kissing me I-I it's... I'm not mad...at..." her voice trailed and she started poking her forefingers at eachother, staring down at them. She glanced up at Sasuke before moving her eyes down again, embarassed.
Sasuke stared at her, almost unbelievingly. He reconsidered something and turned away from her.
"I-I... I don't think that I should do this... doing anything with you feels like I'm... I'm taking advantage of you..." he mumbled, glaring at the ground.
"Advantage?" Narumi questioned, curving over to the side a bit to attempt getting a better look at his face.
"..." He noticed, swallowing hard and turning from her again. "...Maybe you should go..." he suggested desperately, his hand pressed over his eyes then slidng down his face.
"...But I want to-"
"Now."
"...You can't order me, you must obey me!" she pouted. "I'm the prin-"
"Yeah, and if you want to be able to walk tomorrow you should probalby leave.
Taking it as some sort of threat instead of what he meant, Narumi glared at him. "Fine, you're so immature Sasuke, I have to leave just because you want to start doing yourself..." she snorted.
"WHA- WHERE did you learn-- WHO told you what... how do you know what that..." He spun aruond to face her, eyes wide.
"I don't..." she put a finger to the corner of her lips thoughtfully, looking at the ceiling, "Ino just said something about... Shikamaru andhow she seen him-"
"A-allright, that's all I have to hear- ahm..." he laughed nervously, taking a step back. "I'm just... going to stay here while you leave... and I'm not going to do myself." and with that, he pushed her out the door, she faught back in a futil manner. Irritated with him, her arms were flailing.
XXXXXX
"Hey Shikamaru." Narumi waved casually to the boy as she passed him on the street.
"Uh hah... hi..." he breathed, his voice trailed off while he blinked to get a better look at her.
"...Hm? What's wrong?" she smiled up at him cutely.
"...Is that a...?" He mumbled something that Narumi couldn't hear,
"A whaah?" she furrowed her brows at him.
Shikamaru shook his head, but the sight of it didn't go away. He raised his hand and touched her on the neck where the flesh looked reddened. "... Yeah, when did you..." he trailed off again, finding it difficult to talk again.
...after taking in her innocent expression...
...large round blue eyes... shining up at him. He sighed, pulling away. "...nevermind..."
"Huh... well, okay then..."
XXXXXXX
Wow that was short...
...Maybe I need to be more creative with fillers before fetival time and stuff...
Okay, PLEASE READ, PEOPLE!
I was going to- when this fic is finished- try and pair the Narumi-Naruto people with whoever you guys want.
I'm willing to pair her with someone like... Gaara or something too. Itachi maybe...
(starts laughing) hehehe... Yeah, itachi.
Anyway, to the point... I'm going to pair her with whichever guy you guys mostly vote for. I'll pair her with them in another fic that I'll start when this is done, okay? Narumi will be a permenant member of the village, so she'll be like, a normal character, okay?
SO! I'm willing to do a pairing with Narumi first, so tell me who you want, okay?
Review please! I have to know who you guys pick.(suggestions? constructive critisizm? approval? flames?)
