NaruShika Chapter 2

Shikamarus POV.

After Naruko and I had finished dinner at my house which my mom had cooked, we went back to my room for a few hours till she would leave for the night. We had been dating for about a year now and I don't think I've ever been happier even though I don't really show it -that would be to troublesome- Naruko just plopped down onto my bed and made herself comfortable while I sat down on it resting my back against the wall at the top of my bed, she wiggled her way up till her head was laying in my lap and I started to run my fingers through her shoulder length hair.

========LINE BREAK=======

We stayed in my room for a few hours, manly talking…. Well Naru did most of the talking but it's fine because I love listening to her talk almost as much as I love cloud watching. I could tell she was getting tired, she's been working extra hard since she started training with the sannin Jiraiya I wish she could stay the night with me but my mother would never let me live it down. So, I decided to call it a night and let her get some sleep, plus I'm tired too, after we said goodbye and she went home I walked back into my room where I took a quick shower and changed for bed.

What I didn't expect was for some girl to come into my room, she was about a year older than me and I had been on a mission with her before but why she was at my house and in my room, I have no idea.

"Can I help you?" I asked her, my tone flat as a gave her a slight glare, she didn't even knock What if I was still changing?

"Hey Shika, I came by to give you this mission scroll. We'll be going on a mission together again tomorrow" She said with a flirty smile on her face that I really didn't like the look of.

"Why didn't the Hokage just send it to me by bird? I'm sure it would have been just as fast" I said as I walked up to grab the scroll from her hand.

"Because I haven't been able to see you since our last mission, so I thought I'd bring it to you. I was headed this way anyway" She said brushing her hand against mine as I grab the scroll. 'Lier' I say in my head its late and she lives on the other side of the village then me, which I only know because she talked nonstop on that mission.

"Well you'll see me tomorrow, plus its late you should head home and get some sleep since we have a mission tomorrow." I tell her trying to get her to live "Thanks for the scroll" I say as an afterthought and then turned around to put it on my dresser to look at once she left, but instead of hearing her leave my room I heard her step closer to me. I turned around to ask her why she was still here when she finished delivering the scroll to me, my eyes widened when I saw how close to me she was, I didn't know she got that close when my back was turned, I took a step back to try and put some space between us when my back hit the wall and before I could do anything she had pressed her lips to mine.

I froze for a second with my eyes wide and as I went to push her away from me I heard a gasp come from the door of my bedroom, looking over I felt myself freeze again in horror as I saw Naruko standing there with pure hurt on her face, I snapped myself out of my shocked state once again when I saw her turn to run off with tears in her eyes. But by the time I got away and could try and follow her she was already out of sight, I was sure she would head to her apartment and I thought of following her but decided to try talking to her before my mission tomorrow morning, it would give both of us a little time to wrap our heads around what just happened. It would be troublesome getting up that early but I would gladly do it for her.

…:::Present Day:::…

After I had gone back to my room that night I had slightly violently made the other girl leave my room and made sure she knew to leave me alone from now on, and I still haven't seen her since that last mission we took together.

But When I got up that morning to go and talk to Naruko I found that she wasn't in her apartment and I couldn't find her anywhere! When I got back from that mission lady Tsunade told me that she had left the village with lord Jiraiya and that she didn't know when she would be back.

Life has kind of sucked for me while I waited for her to come back, for the first two years Hinata and Sakura both seemed to hate me so I assumed that they knew about what had happened but I finally managed to get them to listen to me about what happened that night.

I snapped out of my thoughts when I saw that I was outside the Hokage tower, 'Damn I must have been deep in thought to not notice that I was already here' I thought "how troublesome" I mumbled as I began to head to lady Tsunades office, once in Tsunades office he gave her a quick mission report from the mission he finished last night. Technically he was supposed to hand it in last night but it was so late that he just went to bed instead.

As I left the Hokage tower I couldn't help but wonder about lady Tsunade, she seemed oddly happy today and I can't figure out why…. 'Troublesome hokage' I thought as I walked down the street with my hands in my pockets I was headed to Tenten's family weapons shop for some new kunai I need to stock up again before my next mission. But as I passed by Ichirakus Ramen I froze in my tracks as I heard someone inside laughing. I know that laugh, I would know that laugh anywhere 'Naruko' was the only thing in my head now.

'She's back?! Naruko is back!' I turned to face the ramen stand I slowly raised my hand to part the sheet in front of the stand, the only thing between me and her 'I hope she will let me explain what happened' I thought as I finally saw her the girl I'm in love with but haven't seen in almost four years! That's a long time for someone to be gone and god have I missed her, even if I won't say so to others. Now I just have to hope that she forgave me at all 'This will be troublesome' I sigh. Naruko doesn't notice me at first because she's got Kiba in a headlock and is laughing so loud she wouldn't have heard me yet, but Hinata does notice pretty fast, as her eyes lock with mine the smile slips off her face and a troubled expression takes over.

I know Hinata is on my side since I managed to tell her and Sakura the whole story about what happened they don't hate me anymore, her eyes dart to Naruko for a split second before her eyes were on me again. Before I could say anything Hinata slipped out of her seat while Naruko and Kiba were too busy with each other to notice her leave, grabbing my arm Hinata pulled me out of the ramen stand. I let her lead me around the corner and out of sight, I have a pretty good idea what she's going to say and to be honest she's probably right.

I should have thought what I was going to do and what I was going to say to her before I just walked up to her in public after everything that happened all those years ago.

As Hinata opened her mouth to speak I interrupted her and spoke first "I know what you're going to say Hinata, that it's a bad idea to just show up and try to talk to Naruko in public so soon and I should think this threw more" I said giving her a look that just screamed troublesome.

"Right" Hinata smiled at me not even shocked "I'll talk to her tonight in private, then tomorrow you can try and get her alone and talk to her. And maybe she won't try and kill you….. just maim you a bit" She said smirking at the last part, I gulp even if Naruko forgives me she's still going to be pissed and want to get back at me for the heartbreak she went through while she was gone.
