Narushika & series 2 (one shot)

chapter 7

- naruto pov -

i wake up groggily, oh man last night was... well, good i guess. i can feel kurama, he's excited about 'us' but he's worried about what shika said about him and what the future will be when he finds out "don't worry, i think he'll take it alright" i say and try to make him better "i believe if he love me now, then he can learn to love what's inside of me too"
"nice theory naruto but remember we are different beings altogether it's just i look like you from the outside and the two of us are muddled up and people think that we are one when we are actually two in one" kurama says
"i wish people knew, i wouldn't be the demon fox anymore and i'd be accepted"
"wrong again"
"why" i say defensively

"well we don't want anyone finding out you're gay, that's for both our reputations + shika"
"i guess your right"

"but it should be alright, i'll come out wen i'm ready because there's nothing wrong with being gay"
"i know but i'm thinking about other people, you just got past the demon fox stage, wait some time before coming out ok but i think you must be going it's 10:30 am"
"oh no! i needa be home by 11" i get up and quickly enter the human world and shika's face is th first thing i see, it's right in my face 

"oh good" he says relieved "i thought you were going into shock or something" he smiles and ruffles my messy hair

"oh yea, sorry about that hehe" i say sheepishly, i get up hastily so i can use the bathroom but as i'm leaving
"last night wasn't a one off?" shika says, smirking as he grabs my wrist and pulls me into a kiss "good morning" he smiles and i kiss him in return
"last night wasn't a one off" i reply and free myself from his grip
"i'm getting ready so we can leave, we can hang at my house though" i say whilst walking in the bathroom 
"ok, i'll get ready in my room" he shouts.

once i'm inside i lock the door and start brushing my teeth, it's a mindless job so i go to kurama "hey"
"good to see ya naruto feels like ages"

"is it just me or is the all powerful 9 tails going soft?"
"it's just you" he grumbles "what cha need?"

"i'd like some more advice"

"shoot"

"are shika and i dating?"
"technically no but in most means yes, you become official when you go on dates and when you ask or be asked to be a boyfriend, any thing else?"
"one more, should we officially date before i tell him about you?"
"i suggest you tell him before you become public because if you become then tell him he could over react and things can go wrong"
"oh" my face falls and my line of vision drops to the ground
"can you see and feel what i see and feel in the way i can feel your emotions?"
"yep"

"oh god, this makes everything slightly uncomfortable but hehe it makes you a third wheel"
"*hmph* asked everything already?"

"yep, bye softy"
"*growl*" but i can hear his smile so i know, no hard feelings 

i finish my teeth then get dressed and then meet shika out front
"thank you for letting me stay over mr and ms nara" i say
"any time kiddo" mr nara says, smiling and he outstretches a hand which i shake firmly while his mum stares

"pleasure" she says, monotone 
"well we should go because we only have 15 minuets to get to your house" shika points out
i bow, turn and walk out, a few meters in front of shika and when his parents are out of sight, i fall back to walk with shika then take his hand
"*gasp* naruto? we can't be seen like this"
"relax it's before 11 on saturday and we're walking through the forest i don't think we'll be seen" my statement makes him relax too and we walk silently down the path, it was mostly a good silence but a tiny bit of sexual tension, i keep replaying what happened last night in my mind, the kiss, his touch on my body. all that stuff.

i look at my clock 10:50

"we got 10 minuets left"
"more than enough time"
"shika what are yo-" his lips come on mine and i react instinctively and return his kiss, winding my fingers through the hair in his ponytail, pulling it out so it lays on his neck, his hands rest on my waist, guess it's his turn to be boss... he starts to pull up my shirt but i slap his hands
"not here" i gasp and go back to kissing him, he pushes me up against a tree trunk it's squishy but not bad. shika traces my lower lip with his tongue but i don't open my mouth, it's too early in our relationship for that so we just go back to plain kissing 
"*ahem*" i whip my head around to see mr nara "boys, it's 10:59 so i suggest you better get going, i won't tell your mum but good job on dating someone"
we start running down the path
"you're dad is cool"

"yea, he was there when kankuro asked me out, he didn't know who it was but my mum still think I've never dated before and she'd be furious if she found out it were you"
"i guess but your dad wasn't even fazed by the situation"
"my dad and i are very close so he knows I've liked you for some while so i'd say he's pretty happy"
"cool but we should run faster" i say, we were only half way there and we had like 20 seconds to get there
"yea"

we both push ourselves there and get to my house by 11:01
"you're late" mebuki says, hitting her hand with a spatula and impatiently tapping her foot "hello shikamaru, i didn't see you there" mebuki runs up and gives him a hug
"shikamaru" sakura says and blushes "how are you?"

"good thanks" he says, ignoring her flirts
"just good?"
"i'm actually dating someone" he says, wow i didn't think we were official, i can hear kurama face palming, out of everybody it had to be the gossip girl?! at least he didn't say who, she looks a bit stunned but sakura isn't dumb. she looks at us both 
"oh. my. god!!! naruto i need you now! come on" and she drags me into her pink room
"good thing the hole is fixed"
"yea yea, now to the point are. you. dating. shikamaru?"
"*gulp* yea" she's gonna be so angry, i know she loves shika, but he loves me
"eeeeeek! this is so exciting"
"wha, that was not where i was expecting that to go, don't you like shika though?"
"yea but if you haven't noticed, i can get any guy i like so i'm happy because my little brother is happy, now mum made us all some lunch, sasuke is out smoking weed again and dad's at a business meeting, are you gonna tell mum?"
"if she brings it up then maybe but i'm going to try to avoid it"
"ok well we should go"

we walk out sakura's still buzzed up from the news
"i'm assuming sakura told you sasuke is working on a group project at the library and your dad is working" mum says, i switch between the names depending on what memory i'm think of and i'm thinking about how i'll kill sakura if she brings up our conversation
"yes she did, is it ok if shika stays for lunch and dinner?"

"of course just keep the house clean and i made pan cakes but you'll have the house to your selves, sakura is hanging out with ino and i need to go shopping"
"that's fine mum thanks" i say 

we all sit down and start to eat our pancakes
"so shikamaru, who's the lucky lady?" mum asks and the whole table is silent, sakura kicks me which hurts, i look to shika whose looking at me so i nod
"well ms haruchi"
"please call me mebuki"
"ok mebuki, you see i'm, uh not dating a girl... i'm actually dating, naruto"

*silence*
this mustn't be good at all
"kurama?"
"yea"
"i can't stay long, i'm really worried about how this is going to turn out, we've been dating one day, WHICH IS TODAY?!"

"naruto chill, mebuki is a very relaxed person, she's surprised but she'll be fine"
"but our plan has failed before it starts and i don't even get to kill sakura"

"it'll turn out ok, i'm sure of it now go back" he urges so i exit

"naruto is that true?"
"yea mum" i'm so scared what if she sends me back to the orphanage, she'll disown me
"congratulations dear" she smiles and to conversation flows casually until sakura leaves to go with ino
"i'll go too, please use protection *wink*"
"MUM?!" oh my god i can't believe her, i look to shika who just looks scared
"i'm not joking" she says sternly "sakura lost her virginity last year" and mum leaves
"well i knew she was a slut but this takes the cake" i say and shika chuckles

"what should we do now?" i ask
