Chapter 11: Shikamaru and Michiko

Shikamaru helped Sasuke make camp while Chiko went to get water.

"As soon as I am done here I am going to find Michiko," Shikamaru said to Sasuke.

"I don't think that is a good idea," Sasuke advised.

"Why not? Michiko is in danger-"

"I know but, if you go by yourself and get killed do you think we will get Michiko back with you gone," Sasuke said cutting him off.

Shikamaru looked at the dirt and pondered on Sasuke's words.

"Sauske, Shikamaru," Chiko yelled.

Sasuke sprinted to where Chiko went. Shikamaru was hot on Sasuke's heels.

"What is it Chiko?" Sasuke asked when they got there.

Chiko was pulling Michiko out of the river. Shikamaru quickly went to help her. When they pulled her out she was unconsious. Chiko went back to camp to get Michiko new clothes. Shikamaru held her near him and watched as she slowly breathed.

"Michiko," he whispered in her ear.

Sasuke watched them while he was waiting for Chiko to return.

"Michiko can you hear me?" Shikamaru asked.

Michiko speesed her eyelids and slowly opened them. When she opened her eyes they were her sam beautiful brown eyes.

"Shikamaru?" she whispered.

"Yes. I am here. Are you okay?" he asked.

"Yes," she said starting to cry.

Shikamaru whiped her tears away with his lips. He traced her jaw with his lips then went to her lips. Michiko didn't close her eyes. She let Shikamaru's tounge in her mouth but, didn't responed at all to his kiss.

Shikamaru pulled away and looked at her.

"Are you mad at me?" he whispered romanticly.

Michiko said nothing.

"Shikamaru and Sasuke please leave," Chiko said bringing Michiko her new clothes.

Michiko slowly stood up and walked toward Chiko.

Chiko looked at Sasuke and he nodded.

"Come on Shikamaru," Sasuke said pulling him back to the camp.

Shikamaru let Sasuke pull him to the camp. His eyes didn't move from Michiko's back.

"Are you okay?" Chiko asked getting water.

"No," Michiko whispered.

"Your going to have to talk to him one way or another," Chiko adivsed.

"I understand but, I just-"

"You can. You have been through the worst trials then me and Sasuke have. You should be able to work this out," Chiko said turning to her.

"I guess," Michiko said hugging her knees.

"Shikamaru," Chiko said. "Michiko wants to talk to you."

Shikamaru nodded and went to the river where Michiko waited.

Chiko and Sasuke watched as Shikamaru slowly walked to the lake.

When he was out of sight Chiko put the water near a tree.

"Do you think they'll get back together?" Sasuke asked wrapping his arms around her waist.

"I hope so," Chiko said turning around and wrapping her arms aroud his neck.

"Well I hope they do that way we can get some long alone time," Sasuke said dreamingly.

He leanded down and kissed Chiko.

"Michiko?" Shikamaru said coming around the corner.

Michiko didn't answer him. She was sitting down near the river. Shikamaru went to take a seat next to Michiko.

"Look I am sorry that I didnt' tell you about Temari. I just didn't want our relationship to get ruined," Shikamaru said looking at his feet.

He turned to Michiko hoping that she would respond. Her head was on her knees and her hair was covering her face.

Shikamaru continued looking at her as he spoke, "I just didn't want our relationship to end, and I-"

Michiko moved her hair and kissed Shikamaru.

Shikamaru was suprised at this sudden attack but, closed his eyes and kissed her back.

Michiko slowly moved back and removed her jacket that she was wearing.

Shikamaru helped her take it off and started kissing her when the jacket was at her wrist. As Shikamaru leaned over Michiko, she laided back and kissed Shikamaru.

Michiko removed Shikamaru's jacket when he kissed her neck. Michiko was enjoying every moment. Shikamaru moved away and removed his shirt after his jacket was off.

When his shirt was off he went back to kiss Michiko's lips and neck. Michiko rolled so Shikamaru was on the ground. She removed her sweater so her bra was showing. Michiko dived into Shikamaru's chest and started kissing it. Shikamaru closed his eyes as he enjoyed it all. He opened his eyes when he thought that something was wrong.

Michiko was kissing his neck when he opened his eyes.

He pushed her back for a moment.

"What is with this all of a sudden?" he asked breathless.

"I don't have much time," Michiko said breathless.

Michiko kissed him on the lips. She moved back but only centimieters from his mouth.

"Please let me have you just for one night just in case," Michiko pleaded.

"I know we will have more of this, but, I can do this just for you," Shikamaru whispered back.

"Thank you," Michiko said with a smile.

Michiko kissed Shikamaru with more passion. Shikamaru rolled over on his side but, Michiko's back was on the ground. Shikamaru kissed Michiko's neck to her shoulders and stared to take off her bra.

In the morining Michiko and Shikamaru were laying in a comfortable cave in side a open tree. They both were facing each other sleeping. Shikamaru was the first to wake up. He looked at Michiko sleeping happy about what happened last night. He removed a lock of hair that was infront of her face.

Michiko slowly opened her eyes but, this time her eyes were white.
