Chapter 3: Promises
After a week of traveling they finally got back to the village.
"Hey Shikamaru, Michiko, and her clan is back," yelled one of the watchers to someone inside of the gate.
When the gate opened Chiko and all of Michiko's and Shikamaru's friends were there.
"Mchiko where were you I was so worried I can't beleive you were alive. And I am so mad that you didn't let me see the whole action," Chiko said really fast and almost in one breath.
She saw Shikamaru and Michiko holding hands and Chiko gasped.
"OH MY GOSH," Chiko scramed at the top of her lungs.
She hugged Michiko really hard and said "This is perfect just perfect. Know we can go on double dates have kids at the same time and even get married at the same time because...well...your not alone anymore."
"Chiko I am lossing my breath," Michiko said her breath almost out.
"Oh, sorry," Chiko said letting Michiko go.
"Glad you two are alright. I was close to going to get you two," Sasuke said wrapping one arm around Chiko's shoulders.
"If you did I might have kicked your butt if you didn't let me go with you," Chiko said in a angry tone to Sasuke.
"You know I just want to protect you," Sasuke said looking at Chiko.
"Anyway," Chiko said after looking into Sasuke's eyes. "When am I having nieces and nephews?"
Shikamaru and Michiko had choked on there own tounge when Chiko said that. Then they started coffing out all of the salava that was stuck in there throught.
"Come on you guys must have done somthing while you tow were getting your wounds healed," Chiko said crossing her arms.
"If they did do something then I would kill this guy," Yuki said in an angry tone.
"Brother," Michiko said to Yuki.
"Sorry but, you are to young to be doing that. Especally with this guy," Yuki said still remebering the pain that he put Michiko through.
"That is all in the past," Shikamaru said.
"I am sure," Yuki said coldly.
BANG.
"HEY SHE SAID STOP DIDN'T SHE AND WHO TOLD YOU, THAT YOU COULD BUTT INTO PEOPLES LOVE LIFE," Chiko said hitting Yuki in the face.
"Chiko stop," Michiko said stopping Chiko from hitting Yuki again.
"Why?" Chiko asked.
"Because he is my brother," Michiko said using all of her strength to stop Chiko.
"Oh," Chiko said stopping her attack.
Michiko let her go but, she was tricked and so Chiko started to beat up Yuki.

Michiko was sleeping sound asleep in her room when she heard someone tapping on her window.
She woke up and to out of bed. When she went to the window she found that Shikamaru was there.
"Shikamaru what are you doing here so early in the morning?" Michiko asked.
"I wanted to see you," Shikamaru said climbing up to her window.
"Why?" she asked confused. "Especially this late at night."
"Come with me," Shikamaru said sitting on Michiko's bed.
"Were are we going?" Michiko asked.
"I want to show you something," Shikamaru said standing up and walking toward Michiko.
"Or we could stay here and talk," Michiko suggested wrapping her arms around Shikamaru.
"Yeah but, your brother will come in and propably hit me," Shikamaru said touching Michiko's forehead with his.
"I doubt that. His body is damaged really bad from Chiko attacking him," Michiko said laughing at the memory.
"That was funny watching Chiko beat him up," Shikamaru said.
"I guess we could go as long as we get to come back here okay," Michiko said ciourious about the place that Shikamaru wanted to show here.
"Fine," he said.
Michiko went to changed and Shikamaru went outside so she could change.
They took the path that went to the back of the village that was nothing but a forest.
Shikamaru had put a blind fold on Michiko so she wouldn't peak.
"Are we there yet?" Michiko asked annoyed that they were taking so long.
"Yes," he said.
He took the blind fold off and Michiko was dazzled by the beauty.
Michiko and Shikamaru was on the top of the hill and they were looking at all of the million stars. They were so close to the sky that they almost could touch the sky and take one of those stars,.
"Do you like it?" Shikamaru said wrapping his arms around Michiko's neck from the back.
"I love it. But," she said turning to Shikamaru. "Why did you bring me here?"
"I brought you here so we could make a promise," he said.
"What promise?" Michiko asked.
''A promise that we will be together for ever and always no matter how far apart we are and no matter what comes at us," Shikamaru said.
"Just like the stars from the earth. And all of the stars in a group. You brought me here so I would remeber that promis right?" Michiko said realizing Shikamaru's intentions.
"That is right. And the moon will be the one to witness all of this," Shikamaru whispered in Michiko's ear.
They looked at the stars and the moon for a long moment.
"Thank you Shikamaru," Michiko said breaking the silence.
"We should get back before your parents wonder where you are," Shikamaru said picking Michiko up.
"I can run on my own you know," Michiko grubbled.
"I know but, you seem really tired so I will run for us," he said.
"Fine but, if you do that again I will have Chiko kick your butt," Michiko said.
"That is fine with me," Shikamaru said starting to run.
By the time Shikamaru got back Michiko was already sleeping. Shikamaru put Michiko on her bed and put the covers over her. He went back and closed the window and laid next to her over the covers.
He then whispered into her ear "I promise to love you and protect you."
He kissed her goodnight on the fore head and slept by her side. Michiko woke up after a few hours when she found Shikamaru sleeping next to her she turned to face him and whispered in his ear "I promise to love you no matter what and proect you from anything."
Then she went to sleep.
Outside of Michiko's room Yuki heard the whole thing and even followed them to the forest.
"Please becareful," Yuki said hoping that the promise wouldn't get ethier of them killed.
He went back to his room and went to bed thinking about there promises to each other.
