PRIOR TO THE UCHIHA DOWNFALL— PRE NARUTO
THIS CHAPTER FOLLOWS THE EVENTS AFTER "A MOTHERS LOVE"
He lied on the rooftop, a daily habit of his, as he quietly gazed among the clouds though there weren't many that surrounded the Village today. It had been a week since he had last seen her. [Name] Uchiha. The girl he seemed to have piqued an interest of his, though within that given moment he wasn't realizing it was formulated into a crush towards one, one he would hold onto for many years to come. Throughout the days that passed, he missed her dearly but had to understand the circumstances she currently faced.
Her mother had passed the week beforehand, and a lot of the talks within the class were in hushed whispers about her, as Sasuke was still present in the class and of course, knew her closely. He had not much to say verbally but a lot riddled his young mind about her situation and what she might be facing during her grief absences. "Hey.., Shikamaru.." he heard the voice of his friend, Ino from above him. He opened his eyes, looking up to see she had been looking down at him curiously. "We're making cards for [Name]..., Did you want to join us?" she then asked him, as his face began to heat up at the mention of the girl's name he ironically had on his mind a few seconds prior.
He nodded quickly, as Ino held her hand out to him, helping him up from the ground of the rooftop. "Man.., Iruka is gonna kill you.." she mumbled out to him, as he had made it a more reoccurring habit to skip more and more. Shikamaru could only shrug at the thought she pointed out, as Iruka didn't say much when it came to Shikamaru, he was still an astounding student within the class despite how little his participation was in class. It was bewildering really. "So.., you must like her a lot huh..?" Ino then abruptly spoke to the boy as they made their way downstairs. He halted at the comment she made, as he stood at one top of the staircase, she stood at the bottom.
The Blonde girl tried to conceal a smirk at the comment, as he tried to avoid her gaze and look around elsewhere. "No...?" he then lied, though Ino knew he was lying. "Well, whatever it is..! Don't let Naruto or even Sasuke get to her first..." Ino jokingly said to the boy, as his eyes widened at the thought. "Even Shino is a threat...!" and for some reason, those words would haunt the boy for a few years...
