The Guardian Angel (Naruto Fan fiction)

17.

Alexandra's/Manami's POV

The journey to Konoha was long, painful, funny, and annoying all in one. I'll let you imagine why that was...

Any who, when I got to Konoha, I was taken to go see the Hokage. Funny enough, Shikaku-san and Shibi-san were there. They vouched for me. I feel so loved ^ω^

I was allowed to stay on one condition. I had to stay with one of them. Now, I don't have any problems with that it's just...who though?

I agreed and quickly found out I had no choice in the matter. I was to stay in the Nara compound.

So I went home with Shikaku-san that day only to run into the one and only Shikamaru. No, literally. I ran into him.

We both fell and I squeaked as I did. As soon as I noticed who I ran into, I instantly flushed.

Let me explain real quick. I have 5 favorites in Naruto. Gaara, Shikamaru, Neji, Shino, and Sasori. I don't have a specific order. I just love them.

"Ughhhhh...watch where you're going you troublesome wom-woah..." he started to say until he finally saw me. Do I have something on my face?

"I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking. I was just following Shikaku-san-wait that sounds bad. No I mean, the Hokage told me I am to live with him and he was taking me home-oh my Kami that still sounds bad...I'm just sorry. Ignore me." I rambled.

It didn't seem as if he was paying attention though so I snapped my fingers in front of his face when he came back to reality.

"You ok?"

Shikamaru's POV

"You ok?" She asked me.

I'm supposed to be the smart one. IQ of over 200. And for some reason I couldn't speak. I probably look like an idiot. What a drag.

I finally snapped out of my stupor when I heard my dad chuckle.

I turned to him and raised an eyebrow. "What's so funny?" He only teased me in return.

"Who knew my smart son could turn stupid in less than five seconds?" He continued on laughing to himself.

I heard the girl giggle at that. My head snapped in her direction. Oh Kami no. That's embarrassing. Wait, since when do I care!? But dear Kami that giggle was absolutely adorable!

This girl for some unknown and admittedly scary reason, makes me want to get to know her better.

What is this feeling? Is this what a crush feels like? It can't be. I just met the girl! That's ridiculous!

But it doesn't hurt to get to know her better. Who knows? Maybe the reason I'm so smitten by her is love at first sight. I don't actually believe in that junk but hey! My luck is horrible so...it could happen. Ughhhhh...

I hope it's not a crush though. That would definitely screw up my whole life plan. I wanted an average girl. Not too ugly and not too pretty but she's absolutely beautiful.

Kami, I hope I don't mess this up. She's so perfect I can't function. I hope I don't run into her often so I can get my act together.

"Hey, if you're Shikaku-san's son...that means I'm living with you!!! Isn't this great? I hope we can get along?" She said holding one of my hands in hers.

.............What a drag.

Alexandra's/Manami's POV

He's still not saying anything. What if he wants nothing to do with me? Oh no. What if I ruined my chance at befriending him? I was probably acting like a creep. Damn!
