Chapter 1:
It has been on week since Shikamaru and Michiko have been living with the Twin clan. They had learned a lot of there battle styles and tequnecs. Michiko also learned more of her clan's justsu's. They both worked hard to train while they were getting better. Shikamaru was pushing himeself more then ever.
Michiko got worried when ever he did that. Every night when they would go to bed he would always fall asleep. She got worried that he was working to hard because of her. She was only able to do the jutsus that required consetration because she still had to rest her body.
"Shikamaru?" Michiko asked later that night.
"Hm," Shikamaru said sleeping.
"Why are you working so hard?" Michiko whispered in his ear.
Shikamaru opened his eyes and turned to Michiko. He held her face in one of his hands and said "Because I want to protect you."
"Yeah, but, your pushing yourself way to hard. What if something happened to you while training?" Michiko said worried about him.
"Don't worry," he said half asleep.
"I do worry. It's my job to worry. And-'' Michiko was about to say.
Shikamaru kissed her so she would calm down.
"Why do you always have to kiss me?" Michiko asked a bit dased.
"Because one I like kissing you and two it helps keep the stress away," He said touching her forehead with his.
They left it at that and Shikamaru was a sleep once again. Michiko could hardly sleep that night still worried about Shikamaru.

The next day Shikamaru went out early to train and Michiko was still in bed doing her training.
"Alright just keep your consentration," the girl who looks like Michiko's cousin.
Michiko was trying to separate the diffrent materials in this ball of water. She was levatating them with her mind so it wouldn't fall into the water.
"Good just keep your consetartion," the girl said again.
Then the door slammed open. Michiko lost her consetration and saw that four guys were supporting a body.
"What is going on?" asked the Michiko's cousion.
"He made us go to far so he is hurt really bad," said one of the men.
"Is he going to at least live?" Michiko said trying to get out of bed.
"My Lady you must rest. I am sure that he will be alright," said one of the girls.
"Don't worry we are experts at these sort of things just rest and he will be alright," another girl said.
"I want to at least be by his side," Michiko said still fighting against the girls.
"Alright. But let us carry you at least," said one of the girls.
They took her to the chair that was next to Shikamaru's bed. The bed was drenched in blood. Shikamaru's face was bloody and his body had a lot of cuts.
She held his hand as the doctors worked on putting stiches on him. She could feel his hands squessing on her's. It was painful to her but it didn't matter as long as he was alright.

Shikamaru had woken up later on that night. He felt someone's hand's on him and girpping him tight. When he looked to the side of him he saw Michiko sleeping next to him. He laid on his side and put his face near Michiko's.
"I am alirght," he whispered.
Michiko slowly woke up and turned to see him.
"AAAAHHHH!!" she screamed.
Shikamaru had jumped back becasue she screamed so loud.
Yuki and some other men came to see what all of the comotion was.
"Are you alright sis?" Yuki asked.
"Yeah. Shikamaru scared me," Michiko said taking some breaths.
"Oh. Okay. We'll leave then," Yuki said telling his men to leave.
"Sorry about that," Shikamaru said coming closer to Michiko.
"It was my fault," she said to him.
"Um...How is it your fault?" Shikamaru asked.
"I don't know," she said coming on the bed.
"So are you okay now?" Shikamaru said wrapping his arms around Michiko's neck.
"No I am not," Michiko said softly.
"Why not?" Shikamaru said turning Michiko's body to him.
Smack.
Michiko slapped Shikamaru right across the face.
"Ow. What was that for?" Shikamaru asked rubbing his cheek.
"That is for making me so worried about you and you making my family have to hurt you so bad. What is wrong with you? Do you want me to have a heart attack?" Michiko asked so mad at him.
"I am sorry. I just didn't want to be the one watching you get hurt. I hate that. That is why I wanted to get stronger so I wouldn't have to see that," he said looking at Michiko with his sorry eyes.
Michiko looked at him and saw that he really ment it. So she wrapped his arms around his neck and kissed him. When she released Shikamaru had kissed her back and laid her on the bed with him on top of her.
"Wow. Maybe I should get hurt all the time so I can get more of this," Shikamaru said going in to kiss Michiko again.
"If you do then I will kick you in the balls," Michiko said after the kiss.
Then they heard yelling and footsteps running to the surface. Michiko pushed Shikamaru off and Shikamaru landed on his toes.
Michiko ran to the door and saw that all of the men and women were runing with all of there gear.
"What is going on?" Michiko asked one of the women who was running closest to her.
"There are people who are going to attack us," she said then she ran off.
"We had better go too," Shikamaru said giving Michiko her things.
"Why?" she asked worried about Shikamaru's well being.
"That might be our village along with your clan," Shikamaru explained.
Michiko took her things from Shikamaru and started putting it on as she ran. They ran to the surface with the other warriors.
