Thanks to all those who have reviewed. Last chapter was a bit of a cliffy Shikamaru kissed Tammie and this chapter will deal with her reaction and even a little bit of her life before Kohona. I hope you like it. Please review!
Troublesome Girl
Chapter Ten:
She jumped over the balcony and ran into the woods, surprised and embarrassed at this reaction Shikamaru watched her disappear into the woods before turning inside waiting for the rest of the genine to wake up. Listening carefully for her return the only hint Shikamaru was given that Tammie was still in the woods was a haunting melody that drifted on the wind.
Tammie panicked and ran further into the woods collapsing against a tree. She put her head in her hands and tried to regain control of her breathing.
Her ragged breathing filled the empty alleyway and the dark figure advanced on her. She screamed only to have his hand cover her mouth. "Trust me" he whispered seductively. But she was too scared, she didn't know this man and she didn't know where her mother was. He trailed kisses along her neck and one of his hands pushed her shirt up and his hand travelled up to her breast. She struggled but he wasn't letting go, with all the strength she had she landed a kick right in the balls. The man gasped in pain and crumpled and she ran.
She found her mother and told her what happened. Her mother held her close trying to console her frightened child. Her mother stroked her head and took her to a secluded spot next to a lake. To comfort her daughter she sang.
Many nights we pray,
With no proof anyone could hear,
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood,
"Now we are not afraid,
Even though we know there's much to fear,
We were moving mountains
Long before we knew we could,
Who knows what miracles we can achieve?
Though hope is frail it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve?
If you believe some how you will."
Tammie sang sweetly walking slowly into the woods drowning out everything but the words that gave her reassurance.
Asuma knew Tammie would start to feel flighty as the weeks went on, she hadn't run away yet and he hoped she was thinking of staying. He drifted to sleep as he thought of her growing up, getting married and having children here in Kohona.
'Stay or go? If I go I will be alone, I will be free; I will see more of the world, I will become stronger by travelling and learn more jutsu. If I stay here I will regret not going, there is Shikamaru but how long will that last? No' she said to herself 'I'll go'
She wrote three letters and addressed them 'Asuma', 'Shikamaru' and 'the rookies'. She left them on the bed and began to steal away silently.
She hadn't even left the room; Shikamaru was there in the doorway stopping her. He looked at the backpack on her shoulders and paled.
"I have to go"
"No you don't"
She looked so sad but she didn't cry, he asked her to stay but she flat out refused. Desperate he stepped forward and held her in his arms. She relaxed and rested her head against his chest.
He pushed the hair out of her face and kissed her passionately, as a parting gift she didn't turn away or break it. She started to lose herself in the kiss and followed him when he started to turn, lips still on hers and steered towards to bed. Laying her down carefully, he covered her body with his own. She slipped his jacket off his shoulders and she pushed her skirt up over her thighs.
Before any light had even broken on the new day Tammie was awake. It was time for her to go; she carefully rolled away from a sleeping Shikamaru. She got up showered and she got ready to leave. Before leaving the room she kissed Shikamaru lightly on the forehead and put the three letters on the pillow beside him.
Yes I know it was short but I'm nearing the end of this story and I wan to finish it so I can start another one. Anyways, Tammie has just left the village, the question is will we ever see her again? How will shikamaru cope and will it end happily ever after? Review
