Chapter 2

Emily walked towards her best friend Aranda's house. But as she arrived to her she found that she already had company. When she walked up to Aranda's room she found Aranda and Kiba Talking about something she didn't think they had noticed her presence yet so she hid by the door with it cracked a little.

"So, about who I like it's umm..." Kiba was telling aranda.

"It's Temari right?" Aranda answered him.

"No it's not! It's you!" He blurted out.

"W-what?" Aranda was stunned.

They were both silent for about a minute until Aranda saw Kiba leaning forward and she did so too. Their lips touched and an electric feeling surged through both of them. Kiba found his hands tangled in Aranda's hair, and Aranda's own hands were explooring Every inch of kiba's muscular back.

It was then that Emily was startled by a dog bark and tripped into the room.

"Oh shit!" She wailed as she hit the floor.

"Huh?" Aranda And Kiba said in unison.

"Oh sorry guys" She said as se got up.

"Well I'm gunna goo now" Kiba said as he walked towards the door.

"Okay bye, I'll see you at training later" Aranda said.

"Emily how are things going with Shikamaru?" Aranda asked

"Oh yeah I'm thinking of telling him after practice" she replied.

"Oh really? That's kinda fast huh?"

"Well I don't think so" she said defensively.

"Okay, okay" Aranda said half jokingly half defensive.

Later that day after two hours of grueling training Emily and Aranda walked towards where Shikamaru and Chouji were talking.

"Hey Shikamaru come here for a second" Emily shouted walking towards them.

"Ok" he basically sighed the word.

I don't know why she would like this guy anyway! She should totally go out with Lee at least he'd protect her! Aranda thought to herself.

Shikamaru walked up to them.

"hey uhhh...I was wondering if you'd want to go...out...with...me?" Emily said quite oddly.

"Girls are such a drag you have to buy them stuff it's so troublesome! So, no." Shikamaru replied bored sounding and walked away.

"He...doesn't like me?" Emily immediately started crying and ran off.

Instead of going to comfort her heart broken friend Aranda walked up to Shikamaru and punched him hard in the stomach. Then while he was doubled over crying she scratched him twice across the face. She made sure to spit on him as she stalked off in anger.

"Ha ha Shikamaru what the hell was that about? Ha you got beat up by a girl!!" Chouji laughed hysterically in between chips and eventually started choking.

Emily soon realized that Aranda wasn't following her she figured she was beating up Shikamaru. So she walked to Lee's house to see if he'd comfort her. Lee was home wondering how he could express his feelings to Emily who he was madly in love with when he heard a knock at his door. When he opened the door he saw that Emily had been crying because her eyes were red and puffy. He instantly became furious with whoever had made her cry.

"Emily my friend, what has happened to you? I swear that I will defeat whatever monstrous person has made you sad!" he declared with fire in his eyes.

This made Emily laugh a little .

"thank you Lee, but I just want to talk to someone and I'm pretty sure Aranda's taken care of the beating"

"oh ok what do you wish to talk about?" Lee said calmed a little.

"Shikamaru doesn't love me back!" Emily blurted out.

Lee made a mental note to kill Shikamaru.

"I don't know why any man would not love a beauty such as you." Lee said without thinking.

"Most men would kill to have a woman like you by their side, I know I would." Lee said realizing what he'd said after he finished.

"Lee you...?" Emily asked afraid to say anything more she had always thought of Lee as only a friend.

"I uhh...gotta go...BYE!" she said as she left the room in a hurry.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid! She'll never love you Lee!" he said slapping his forehead.

Emily ran home exhausted from the day's drama and collapsed on her bed asleep. When she woke up the next morning in a cold sweat from a dream of her confessing her love to Lee. Emily had only ever thought of Lee as a very good friend...did she love Lee?
