Chapter 2

Three days later, while naruto is sitting on his chair at hokage office, shikamaru notice that he is no longer signing papers.

"Hokage-sama," shikamaru is trying to get his attention. "Hey" still no response from the hokage "NARUTO"

"Hai, oh hey shikamaru" he was really surprise " is there any problem?"

"I will ask the same thing, is there anything bothering you?"

"Well…" naruto is having a second thought.

"Just say it naruto" shikamaru sits infront of his table.

"Well, to tell you the truth, I've been purposely avoiding Sakura and Sasuke."

"Yeah, we know that, you even avoiding any conversation about them, so…." Shikamaru said interrupting his story.

"Ummm… did you all know why?" Naruto sarcastically ask.

"Yes, you are trying to forget your feelings towards her." His advisor aswered directly. "Which I find it stupid."

"What? Why?"

"I dont think, I'm the right person to answer that." Naruto is confused but decided to continue his story.

"Well, Sakura is at my house right now. Its been three days since she started sleeping there."he also told him sakura's reason.

"So…" shikamaru asked.

Naruto didnt answer. He just stare blankly.

"I see, the problem is not the fact that Sakura is living with you -"

"She's just sleeping over" Naruto interrupted but Shikamaru ignored him.

"-it's your feelings towards her, it is not yet gone"

Naruto is silent.

"Well, i already told you many times, you cannot avoid her or Sasuke. The three of you are friends. You already have this connections and whether you like it or not your fate will surely cross again."

"So-ttebayou?.." naruto ask helplessly.

"So?.. I dont know, you should figure it out yourself" Shikamaru answered.

"Shikamaru, help me, give me advises. What if your in my feet.. what will u do-ttebayou?

"Well, you tried the avoid-them-until-my feelings-for her-is-gone method, but it didn't work. How about do the opposite."shikamaru suggested.

"What? I'll be very super friendly to them and pretend that it did'nt hurt me." Naruto answred worriedly.

"How about confess your feelings to Sakura"

"Well, she knows my feeling from the very beginning and I've been showing it to her everytime before."

"But, you didn't tell it to her officially, you didn't told her everthing you like about her. You didn't told her how much you want her so much."

"What's the point-tebbayou? We all know she don't feel the same."

"We don't know yet Naruto, everything has already changed. Besides the point is, let it out first, let her know first, and then decide what you do next. It is better than keeping it."

"How can i do that, i think i can't, I'm not ready to her answer."

"Well if u can't face it, then there nothing i can suggest. It's up to you rokudaime."

Naruto is thinking deeply.

"Enough of this love stuff, if there isn't anthing you want me to do, then I should go" Shikamaru got up and is about to leave the room and stop when naruto called him.

"Thanks Skikamaru, you are really a good adviser" naruto said sincerely.

"Anytime, but please solve it quikly , I dont wanna give anymore some-stupid love advises." He then close the door.

Naruto just sat on his office thinking "Sigh.. what should i do?"
