Me again!!
I actually meant to post this on Friday, but my mom had me doing a lot of things for her… Gomen peoples
Have you guys heard the song 'Viva la Vida' by Coldplay? I'm in love with that song… It has a nice beat to it…
Anyway, on with the chappy…
"Shikamaru…If you be a good boy and speak, I'll let you sleep on my bed with me tonight…"
"What makes you think that I wanna sleep on your bed?"
"Now the king of annoyingness speaks." I mumbled…
"What ever princess."
And so we walked off.
We were walking for a couple minutes, but then I saw a store on the way with swim suits and so I pulled Shika in the store and told him to be the judge on some of them.
He agreed.
I got a couple bikinis and a couple one pieces and went to the dressing rooms. Before I went in, I pulled Shikamaru in them with me and sat him in a chair across from the little room I was changing in.
When I was looking to see which one I should try on first, I found a cute pink with red cherries bikini, that you tie on the back, and tried in on. I opened the door and stepped out.
Shikamaru had his eyes closed and so I decided to do something…
I smirked and sat on his lap.
He opened his eyes and saw me. He blushed, but then he said…
"You done that fast princess?"
"Nope" I popped my mouth on the "p". "What do you think of this one Shikamaru?"
He looked down at my bikini then, faster than I thought, he snapped his head up and turned away…
"I-It's nice."
I giggled.
"I'll try on some more. Be right back Shika." I pecked his check and gave him a hug. I pushed myself on to his body really hard and then I walked away…
I closed the door to the little room and I heard him say…
"Damn it Shikamaru! Get a hold of yourself will you?"
It kept going like that for another ten minutes. I would have my fun and tease him while he only suffered…
At the end, I ended up purchasing a black bikini. It had white sakuras on the top part and the bottom. The bikini top had two straps and the bottom half had two strings on each side.
I also bought, well , Shika bought me, a black plushy towel.
I asked the cashier if I could put the swim suite on under my clothing because we were going to the beach. He said yes and I got dressed in under three minutes.
When I came out, I gave the cashier the bag (that I put the suit in) back and I put the towel on my shoulder.
Afterwards, we walked down to the beach.
"So, you really did like my suit Shika?"
"Yes I did. Why are you asking princess?"
"No reason."
He eyed me suspiciously, but didn't say anything.
x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x
We got to the beach rather quickly and that's when I saw a bunch of people my age there…
I spotted Ino and Choji instantly. Ino saw us and then walked up to us. There was someone behind her, but I couldn't see who it was.
She stopped right in front of me, smiled, and moved to the side. There, right behind her, was, who I guessed, Lee.
Yup. That was him. He had the same bowl cut hair, same eyebrows, and the same smile. Oh how I missed him!
"OH MY GOD! IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU LEE!!" I yelled.
The music was louder than I excepted…
"IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU TOO KATURA! CAN I BORROW HER FOR A MINUTE SHIKAMARU? I WANNA INTRODUCE HER TO SOME PEOPLE!"
"GO AHEAD AND KNOCK YOURSELF OUT!" he said
x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x
By the time I got back to Shikamaru, I had been introduced to a guy with long brown hair with velvet eyes, a boy with dark brown spiked hair with a puppy (I loved his puppy!), a guy with black hair and red eyes, a guy with red hair with a tattoo on his left side of his forehead and he had eye linear on (and boy was he cute!), a guy with purple markings on his face, a girl with pink hair and skin as pale as snow, and a girl with blonde hair that looked older than the rest of us…
Their names were (I didn't catch their last names) Neji, Kiba (and akamaru), Saskue, Gaara, Kankuro, Sakura (I've heard of her, but never really knew her), and Temari.
I also saw Shino, but he looked pissed so I didn't get too close to him…
"You met everyone princess?"
"Seems like it…" I sighed
"You remember their names…or are they the little people whose names you decide to forget…?"
"I think I'll remember Neji's, Gaara's, Sakura's, and Temari's. Why do you ask?"
"Just curious I guess…"
"Okay then…"
It was starting to get hot because there were a lot of people here and because there were a bunch of fires here as well.
"Shikamaru…let's go swimming. Please?" I asked
He sighed and said "Troublesome…"
"I'll take that as a yes. Let's go!" I grabbed his arm and pulled him to the tables…
The party had tables, chairs, fires, grills, silverware, food, cups, drinks, cakes, cookies, extra towels and swim suits, and other stuff that all parties have…
I put my towel down and took off my red and black top, black jeans, red converse, and black socks. I was only left in my bathing suit afterwards… I took off all of my jewelry and turned around…
I saw that Shikamaru was already in his trunks so I said…
"Wow. You're pretty fast Shika."
"What do you expect?"
I gave him a smile and pulled him to the ocean. There were a couple people in the water already, but I didn't know them…
I was still walking until I felt something tug my arm. I turned around and I met Shika's eyes.
"Something wrong?" I asked
"No, just that this is far enough…" he said
"Okay…"
When I looked down, I saw that the water came up to my waist.
'How did I not notice?'
"Princess, you know how to swim?"
"Um, no…not really… Why?"
"Just asking." Then he bent down…
He bent down and picked me up. Bridal style!!
"W-What are you doing Shikamaru?"
"Nothing…" He smirked and started walking off deeper into the water.
"Shika… the water's cold…" I complained
"You wanna get on my back then?" he stopped walking
"No, but I can't stand here… the water's too high…"
It was true. I was shorter than Shikamaru and the water was up to his chin. I'm tall enough that my height is the height of his chin! I couldn't even get down because the water would cover me up!
'What a mess…'
He was staring at the full moon. I looked up and saw that the moon was close to the earth tonight and it was a beautiful white color. There were lots of stars out too. They were a pretty white color. Not yellow, or red, or blue, but white.
I was staring at the sky for a moment, forgetting where I was, until I heard Shikamaru speak…
"Princess, do you like anyone right now?"
I looked down at him…
"What?" I was truly confused and there are two reasons why. A) I was confused and didn't know where I was and; B) I had no clue who he was at the moment…
"Do you like anyone princess?"
"Oh. I'm sorry… I was kinda out of it…" I rubbed the back of my head… "Um, I guess you could say that. Why?"
"Just asking. Can you tell me who he is?"
"How about I kiss you, and tell you later?"
He opened his mouth to protest, but that's when I kissed him and took his tongue into mine…
I felt him tense up under me. He had me sitting on his arms while I wrapped my legs around his waist. I pushed my way into his mouth and I tightened my grip on his neck…
One of his hands went up my butt, back, neck, and cupped my head….
I released him because… 1) I had lost my breath, 2) I didn't want it to go too far and, 3) He was about to…
"I'm… sorry…" he was out of breath too
"Shika, it's my fault…. Not yours….. I'm…the one…who should…be saying…sorry…"
"But… you… l-"
"Just shut up Shika… Don't… go taking the…blame when…it was my…fault…"
"Okay…" then he looked up at the sky again…
x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x
I was talking with Shino while Shikamaru was fighting with Temari…
As soon as we got out of the water, she came up, pushed me off of him, and took him away (I was still sitting on his arms resting my head on his shoulders). I was clueless as to why she would do that, but didn't think about it anymore because Shino was there offering to help me up.
So now, all you could hear clearly was Temari shouting her guts off.
'The bitch is going to be left without a voice in the morning…' I smiled
"So Katura, what happened with your parents? They usually come when you visit Ino." asked Shino.
"Ino hasn't told you huh?"
"No. Where are they?"
"Well, they kicked me out of my house so I came here to visit Ino, I accidentally told her about it, she started giving me a lecture because I didn't tell her as soon as I came to her house, and now she has me moving somewhere in the village."
"Wow, so you're really going to live here now?"
He didn't sound so interested…or happy…
"Yeah. Why? Trying to hide me from your girlfriend?"
"Nope. I don't have one. What about you?"
"Same. I don't have one either…although it's fun to mess with Shika."
"You like him don't you?"
I didn't know what to reply there… He sounded hurt and disappointed…
If I tell him yes, he'll get worse… If I tell him no, he'll get the wrong idea…
GOD! What's up with me today?!
"I-I don't know…Shino… I really don't know…"
"Do you want him to like you…?"
"S-Shino… I already said that I don't know if I like him or not…"
"If you don't know… will you try to go out with others…to make sure of your feelings for him…?"
I stood quiet and continued to stare out into the ocean… and Temari continued to scream her guts out
"Will you go out with others…? With a friend…? With m-"
"Hey babe, what's up?" said Shikamaru…
I turned around and saw Shikamaru coming with a smirk on his face. He stood next to me and pulled me into a hug… he kept me like that and asked…
"What were you two talking about? Did you miss me honey…?" then he kissed me…
Right there! In front of Shino! In front of our friends! In front of everyone! (Not like we haven't kissed, but we never kissed in front of others…)
We pulled apart a couple seconds later…
His eyes wandered and I followed them.
EVERYONE WAS STARING AT US!! (I was going to die!! But…I looked down and blushed…)
"Ano…" was all I said…
Someone cleared their throats and everyone started talking and laughing again. I looked up to see who it was and I saw that Ino was there next to us.
"Wow Katura! Who would've thought that you guys would kiss in front of others…. Especially you Shika!"
Shino walked away and we just looked at him.
He walked up to a cave a couple yards away, and then, he went behind it.
Shika and I turned back to Ino and he said…
"Well, he was hitting on her."
"And why do you care Shika? No offence, but why do you?"
"I don't…but, at the same time…I do…"
"Oi! Katura-san! Can you help me with something?"
I turned around once again and Naruto was there, waving his hand, by Sakura.
"Hai!" I yelled. "Eto…Shika…? Can you let me go?"
"But you're going to leave me and never come back akanbo…
"No I won't-wait! Did you just call me akanbo? And did you mean that you want me back?"
"Shika. Let her go. I gotta talk to you and she can't hear." interrupted Ino.
He looked down at me…
"Please Shika? I'll make it up to you. I'll do what ever you want just let me go help him…"
"Fine, but you have to kiss me first."
"Okay…" I sighed.
He bent down to me and closed his eyes. I felt his lips on mine, and I returned the kiss.
I pushed back and smiled at him.
Ino pulled him away then and I hurried over to Naruto.
"What's wrong?" I asked
"It's Tenten-chan. She doesn't want to be with Neji and that's the whole reason for everything. Can you help us?" said Sakura
"Sure. Where is she?"
"She's crying over there." they both said in union.
"CRYING?! What happened to her?!" then I ran off.
I wandered to the place they pointed at…
They pointed to a pile of boulders…
I climbed on top of them and there she was.
She had her knees brought up to her chest and her arms were wrapped around them…and she had her head in her arms… and she was crying…
"T-Ten…ten…? Are you okay honey…? Why are you crying…?"
I sat next to her and hugged her. Her head left her arms and wound up on my chest… she was sobbing really loud and hugged me back…
I rubbed her back and kept comforting her.
"What happened to you honey?"
"N…Nothing…ha…ppend…"
"Why are you crying then?"
"Because…Neji planned this whole thing by him self for me for an apology… I feel so horrible that he had to waste all that time, money, and effort, to do all this for me…I don't know how to thank him enough…"
"I know of one way, but you're going to have to trust me on that… Do you want help?"
"Yeah! Please!"
"Okay. Come on now girl."
I grabbed her arm and we jumped down the boulders.
We walked back to where the party was and I started looking for someone…
Meanwhile… with Ino and Shikamaru (Ino's POV):
I walked in front of Shikamaru and stopped a few yards away from the party… then I spoke…
"So, Shika… you liked my cousin the start huh?"
"That's not it Ino. I liked you and, to be honest, I still do. Scratch that, I love you Ino, but I like your cousin. You got Choji and I'm trying to make it work with Katura. Please don't get mad. You got the one you love, and I'll keep trying to find the one person that I love."
"Even if it means hurting my cousin?!" I yelled
"I'm not going to hurt her Ino. I like her very much right now…and, I don't have any intention of hurting her at the moment."
"So you're just going to play with her like a toy until you decide if you are going to leave her?!"
"Ino… please calm down. You know me better than that…"
"Just don't you dare make her cry! If you do… you'll be just like them!!" then I left
Back with Tenten and Katura (Katura's POV):
"THERE YOU ARE!" I yelled
Tenten was still with me. I was looking for someone while she just looked throughout the whole party…
She looked up when I yelled and so did everyone else because 1) I was too loud and; 2) the song ended and so everyone heard me perfectly…
I walked up to that someone and put Tenten in front of me… I walked next to Tenten and said, to both of them…
"She's so happy and can't thank you enough and she feels guilty because you wasted too much time, money, and effort to do this for her. He was looking for you to say I don't know what and he wanted to make sure you were safe and happy. Now, if you guys would just talk to each other and be happy, I'll go back to my friends and leave you two alone. Oh! One more thing…if you guys are planning to fuck each other…I suggest you go into one of the caves and don't be too loud." Both of their faces turned bright red and they both looked at the ground. "Well, bye." I smiled and waved.
They both looked up and waved back…
I walked around and saw Shino sitting by the shore. I walked up behind him and asked…
"Are you mad at me?"
He turned around… stood up… grabbed my wrists…and kissed me…
Shikamaru's POV:
I stood at the spot Ino had left me at… I was dazed…
x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x
I was walking through the party. I saw Katura walking away from Tenten and to … Shino!
I followed quickly, but I couldn't be quick enough… People kept stopping me and people kept getting in front of me…
When I got free, I saw Katura.
I walked faster, more like ran, to her and then I stopped a few feet away from her…
He was kissing her!!
Katura's POV:
Shino let go of my wrists a couple seconds after, and broke the kiss…
He stepped back and smiled.
I walked closer to him… and punched him…
"Katura!" I heard a voice call me.
I looked to the source and saw Shikamaru there.
"Oh god Katura! Are you okay?!" he ran the couple feet between us, hugged me, and said… "Don't cry. Everything's going to be okay. I promise." (He was still hugging me)
'Don't cry?'
I touched to side of my eyes and they were wet…
I looked up at Shikamaru and said nothing…
Well? Did you guys enjoy my story? I made it extra long for an apology for not updating all week and the Friday before and I also updated another chapter as an apology as well.
I didn't get to go to Texas because my mom didn't want to join a religion that her uncle wanted her to join or something, but I did spend the whole week and weekend with my dad.
He flew out here from Denver, Colorado to see me… and he never told his mom because she was gonna keep him at home… (Weird huh?)
Anyway… review and thanx to all the ppl who reviewed for chapter 7!! I love you all very much!!
Akanbo Baby
Eto/Ano Um
