Abraxas Malfloy was a pureblood, something he prides himself with. He was superior from these mudbloods as his lineage was glorious and ancient. He was a Malfloy and Malfloys deserve the best. This was the reason why he obeys to one liege.

The Dark Lord Voldemort

Oh sure, his real name was the 'half-blood' Tom Marvolo Riddle, the charismatic impoverished orphan, however who was fool enough to believe that filthy blood runs in the veins of one glorious as the Dark Lord? He can speak the tongue of snakes. There is no doubt that he is the heir of the serpent lord.

Poor, poor Myrtle. She learned the lesson with her life.

On the second thought, Abraxas cannot really fault his lord (not that the dark lord can make mistakes, mind you) as that ugly Ravenclaw was an annoying and simpering waste of space.

Let it be known that Abraxas appreciates beauty and power and the Dark Lord has them in spades.

"My faithful servant," the dark lord hissed seductively causing Abraxas to shiver as he peered on a pair of mesmerizing blood red eyes. His master was truly wondrous!

"Master," the blonde answered reverently. He was not ashamed to flaunt that he worship the ground Lord Voldemort walked. In Abraxas's mind, nothing but the best for the best.

"We will create a counterattack against that old coger," the Dark Lord ordered "You are going to lead it."

"Your will, my lord."

Abraxas was ecstatic. 'The Dark Lord trusts me!' he cheered on his mind as the blonde left vowing to never fail Lord Voldemort. Dumbledore will pay for the smite he held against the dark lord. Soon the whole world will bow down at the master's feet!

A loud cackle echoed throughout the hall causing a certain dark lord to sweatdrop at the Malfloy's antics.

'Troublesome blondes' he thought wryly. Being a shadow ruler does come with perks. Mainly having minions to do your bidding (especially when it's troublesome to deal with them) but having crazy and psychopaths as said minions made him question if it was really worth all this trouble.

Then he remembered his wife's tender and loving care

Yup, this was worth it.

Shikamaru loved Temari but in his opinion immortality would better than facing the troublesome afterlife with an angry wife.

What did he say to that blonde servant of his again? He was pretty sure he said something about Dumbles.

Oh, well. Not his problem anymore. Now, if he could just work with summoning Naruto's soul in this world to question the sealmaster's expertise. Souls and reincarnation are not Shikamaru's forte even if he does have theories in his head.

He really should have known not to tempt fate.


OMAKE

Albus Dumbledore stared stoically at the handsome young man in his front. Tom Riddle looked paler than usual but his blood red eyes stuck the old wizard. Dumbledore remembered how Horace confided to him how the young orphan worried him. The Horace at that time looked troubled as he expressed his concern but with a little legitimacy, Dumbledore soon learned the reason why the head of Slytherin house feared his greatest Slytherin student.

Immortality

Dark Magic

Horucrux

This young man was dangerous. He was the polished gem from that young child he saw back then.

"I'm sorry, Tom," the headmaster said before Tom could speak.

"What?"

"I cannot offer you the DADA position. I told you of this before."

There was a minute twitch on the other's face. 'Good' Dumbledore thought with satisfaction 'Let him know that I know his nature and I will not tolerate it. Children are impressionable and I would not let him recruit an army.'

He ushered the silent man outside Hogwarts and hoped that the monster-with-the-angel-face would not come back here again. Merlin knows how that would end well.

Meanwhile...

Shikamaru was stumped. Why the heck did he want to apply as a teacher in a school full of noisy, reckless and irresponsible children? Was Dumbles nuts? He did not even want to apply in any Hogwarts position! That was just troublesome. Besides, he just wanted to visit his alma mater (Specifically the Chamber of Secrets) to acquire some materials (Read: basilisk venom) to make a rare potion.

Wait... That bastard knew!

Dumbles wanted to steal some basilisk venom to destroy his three Horucrux and then deprive him of his immortality! Granted, that girl's death was accidental on his part just the creation of his first Horucrux but he was a ninja. Ninja are supposed to make the best of everything even accidents!

Shikamaru cursed how complacent he was. He was all too used to having his servants do his bidding that he forgot to put Dumbles into the equation. He will not allow his potion destroyed by the wizard who treated him as a leper! Shikamaru would rather live an eternal life in a cave rather than going to the afterlife with Temari on a warpath!

'This would not do' Shikamaru thought grimly as his mind began making strategies against enemies, mainly Dumbles. He grinned menacingly. Isn't it good he was now a lord? It was times like this were he could understand why Naruto loves playing pranks or *coughcough* abuse his authority.

This war was something Shika... no, Lord Voldemort would win. Shikamaru would eliminate everything and anyone in his way.


Tenshi: The omake is an apology for updating for so long but in my defense, school and society made me busy. I received a message complaining that Shika is kinda OOC. There's actually an explanation for that. Should I spoil it?... Nah!

Anyways, who caught my little foreshadowing? Anybody would know who would have a guest appearance but the manner of it would be the surprise. Oh, I'll be skipping timeline and it would be there that you would see the difference between Shika!Voldemort from canon!Voldemort. Let's just say that this Voldemort is less proactive and more of a behind-the-scene kind of guy.

Oh, I said that last time that there would be two chapters left. That might not happen here as I lost my files and have to rewrite the lost chapters. This would exceed ten chapters, that I could confirm.


Common Questions (a.k.a. Spoilers)


Q: Was Shikamaru reborn in the far future of the elemental nations?

A: No. He was 'reborn' to another world

Q: Would any of the shinobi appear?

A: *grins* Yup! Guess who?

Q: Will Shikamaru as Tom Riddle/ Lord Voldemort become evil?

A: Shikamaru does things for his own benefit. In his mind, these people are not his people so he should not worry too much on them. He's paranoid and jumps to conclusion quickly. This has to do with the 'look underneath the underneath' ninja mentality to an extreme level and he lived as an old man who has seen to much and dealt too much (A.K.A. Naruto). He's lazy and manipulative that is for sure. He disliked putting his Tom Riddle/Lord Voldemort charade but he knows that this is the lesser evil (and might kill boredom for a while). Evil depends on perspective anyways. His so called 'evilness' has more to do with misunderstandings.

Q: Why is it that Shikamaru seems OOC?
