The guardian chronicles : Nirvana (Todoroki Shoto x Uzumaki Naruto)

Chapter 68

I'm out investigating some things, Naruto so I won't be back until the end of this month. That doesn't mean you can stop with your senjutsu training, you are only taking break because of the internship! But I expect you to have continued your training when I come back.

Naruto sighed and shook her head at the sight of the sticky note stuck onto the fridge. A part of her wanted to ask him if he was investigating the cause of these disappearance. Because if he was then she figured it out the assholes that was taking the kids. She shook her head and pocket the sticky note inside her pockets before looking around the empty apartment.

If Naruto was honest, she was glad Ero-Sennin was not in the apartment. Now he would never have to know about how much of an idiot his apprentice was. Wide mismatch eyes flashed before her alongside her lips pressing against those lips that somehow felt like both fire and ice. Groaning, the blond-haired girl whacked her head against the fridge.

It had been a whole twenty minutes and still the memory kept playing like a broken record. Naruto inhaled and exhaled, wishing and praying that the blush would just fade away. Even though it had been a long time since the kiss, her whole body still trembled from the kiss. She furiously shook her head and whacked her head against the fridge, hoping to regain some of her pride again.

"Idiot," she screamed as soon as her whole body stopped trembling like a piece of paper. Naruto grinded her teeth together and looked out at the window, relaxing her whole body when none of her neighbors looked up to see her. "Why the fuck did I do that?"

Her eyes burned as Naruto tugged her long hair. I don't want to live with the constant fear that you are going to die from your reckleness. Those words touched her to the core but it should have never caused her to do that. It didn't mean she should just forget all reason and kiss him. God even though Shouto was attractive, it does not mean she could throw herself at him and kiss him like that.

Did you summon your nerve? I'm right here, ready and waiting!

Three years passed and Naruto could still recall how Sakura was basically demanding for a kiss. A part of her took pride at the fact she wasn't like Sakura or even Ino but how was she any different now? No, I'm worse. Because Sakura and Ino never kissed Sasuke while she basically stole that kiss.

"Sakura rubbed off of me and maybe Ino too," Naruto declared loudly, putting her head on top of her knees. "Now I'm even worse than those two! I kissed my friend! How the hell am I any different from you when you used to pester the Bastard for dates? Or tried to get a kiss from him?"

She sniffed and clenched her hands into a fist. Naruto wanted Hinata with her right now, to ask her about what the hell did she do. She didn't mean to kiss him. But those words touched her. And then the way he looked at her made her feel so funny. But I don't want dates. Her stomach rolled and the blonde inhaled again, trying to calm down her racing heart.

Parted lips flashed before her eyes and Naruto covered her face with her hands. Why was she still thinking about it even now? She had been impulsive. Yeah, it was her impulsive behaviour that drove her to kiss him like that. It was an impulsive decision. This was a decision that she would never ever repeat...

I want more...

"Fuck!" Naruto swore as her cheeks grew an even brighter shade of red at the memory of her own thoughts. If she hadn't opened her eyes or regained some sense of self then there was no telling what she would have done. A part of her had wanted to run her hand through his hair, to feel more of his warmth and Shouto did not even try to stop her. Pretty Boy was just too shock to stop me. She inhaled again, stretching her ribs till the crack of her bones could be heard.

I won't do that again. Naruto curled her hands into a fist and nodded at her final decision. Nope. It had been a one-time thing, made by a mixture of her impulsive behavior and the kind words of Shouto. What happened between them was just going to be a one time thing.
