Enter: The 1# Jutsu Weaver! (Book 1) [Naruto Fairy Tail Crossover Fanfic]

Chapter 22

*First person pov*

As I was walking home from the test Kakashi gave us, I see a familiar pineapple head. I walk up hill to greet him. "What a drag, now I have to talk to you." Shikamaru says as he sits up. "Are you doing here out here?" I ask him. "Watching the clouds, what else?" He says. I shrug. "Can I join ya?" I ask. He shrugs. "Do whatever you like." He says, lying back down. I lie down next to him. "Can I have your name?" I ask. "Nara Shikamaru." He responds. We lay there, watching the clouds in a peaceful silence. Shikamaru breaks the silence. "When are you going to tell everyone your gender?" I froze. "How long have you knew?" I say. "Ever since you walked through the door." He says. There was a long pause. "Can you please tell no one?" I ask him. "Sure, if you tell me the others who knows your identity." He says. "Only the Hokage and Kakashi, my jounin teacher. But you are the first one to figure it out." I finish. Me and Shikamaru laid on the hill for several hours, making small talk here and there, but more of laying there watching the clouds and enjoying each other's presence. "Hey Ciel?" Shikamaru asks. I hummed in response. "What is your real name?" He asks. I had no reason to lie so I answered truthfully. "My name is Cassie Alessandra. But continue calling me Ciel, please." I say. "Pretty name you have, Ciel. It's a shame you are not putting it to use. I gotta go, my mom will give me a long lecture for not coming to dinner on time, troublesome women." He says. I look at him. "You should treasure her though. You may never know when you will lose sight of her for good." I say, thinking of my parents. He looks at me and we have a little stare down. "You know, you are the least troublesome women I have ever met. I really enjoy your presence, Cassie." He says, breaking the stare down. I smile. "I told you not to call me that." I say. He shrugs. "I don't know, I just felt like saying your name." He says as he walks away. I get up and walk away too.

*Shikamaru pov*

Walking home is such a drag. I walk inside my house, greeted by my mother standing at the door. "Where were you? Dinner was a hour ago!" And that was the start of her rant. I tune out for the most of her rant and somehow, got to the couch. "Alright, troubles-" I cut myself off when a memory came to my mind. "You should treasure her though. You may never know when you will lose sight of her for good." Why do I think of this now? "I mean, yes mother, it won't happen again. Sorry." Mom looked shocked, since I never replied like that before. "Hun, are you sick?" She asks as she put her hand on my forehead. "I'm fine Mom, can I leave?" I ask her. "No dinner?" She asks. I nod and head out. I see my Dad as I walk out. " Shikamaru, what's wrong? You've always replied to your mother along the lines of 'troublesome woman'." Dad said without looking at me. "It's just what a friend said that made me think twice about the way I act towards mom." I say. Dad raises a brow. "Is that so? What did your friend say?" He said looking at me now. "She said that 'You should treasure her though. You may never know when you will lose sight of her for good.'" I said, repeating Ciel's words. Dad looked surprised. "She? Never thought in a million years that my son, who complains about girls being troublesome, has a girl for a friend." He said. "She's way too manly to be called a girl, and she also cross dresses, so I forget she's a girl. That's the only thing that is troublesome about her." I say. Dad starts to walk away. "Well, if you ever take her home, from what I hear, I approve." Dad says as he walks pass me. "Wha-" I cut myself off, knowing what dad meant. I feel a blush creep on my face. "Troublesome woman." I grumble to myself as I walk away.

(A/n: Just to let you know, I don't know if I will make this an Various x OC 'cause this story isn't really a love story, more like an adventure story I guess. But there might a chance where this becomes an Various x OC.)
