- shikamaru pov -

ugh, morning... i miss my sleep but at least i got out of sewing club or what ever it was she's doing 
"hey dear"

"oh! hey mum"

"are you sure you don't wanna come?" she pouts
"certain"
"maybe you need time away from naruto to truly see what you want"
"mum, i'm getting away from your club"
"i wish you wouldn't call it a club, it's a union but i'm off now, thought i'd warn you"
"warn me about what"

"i already warned you"
"no you didn't"
"fine i'll tell you again, you need o be careful of naruto, he's not what he seems"

"how was i supposed to remember that"
"because you're a nara" she gives me a fake smile
"great come back" i say sarcastically
"any way bye" i can tell he's angry that i'm hanging out with naruto but why, i don't know

i get dressed quickly and run at a steady pace o naruto's house, when i get there i knock twice
"oh, hey shikamaru" sakura says happily when she opens the door "ino!" she calls and i turn to see a girl with platinum blonde hair and blue eyes 
"hey! sakura!" eww her voice is annoying, so that's who sakura was waiting for
"i'm going to find naruto" i ask, urging her to hint me or something

"he's in the yard" she says
"thanks" i travel down the corridor which i know so well and turn to the lounge room and open the glass door, i walk to naruto who's lying in the open assessing something, it looks like a scar on his shoulder

"where'd you get that scar?"
"oh! what scar" he says quickly, pulling his shirt up and over
"the one on my shoulder"
"there's nothing there"

"i know what i saw"
"well you saw wrong"

"i'm trying to help you naruto"

"got stabbed by a kunai, was fighting"
"i don't believe you"

"why not"

"because my mum doesn't hate without reason" naruto stands up at my comment
"she, hates, me?" he asks
"passively"

"oh no oh no oh no"
"what is it?"

"whoops, i didn't mean to say that out loud"

"you're acting weird today" his face lights up like he has an idea

"well maybe i just missed you" that was his master plan aye? 

"maybe you did" i reply and he comes up and starts kissing me, softly and sweetly i kiss back my turn!! so when he takes a breath, i slide my tongue into his mouth, he gives no fight and we continue to kiss, i make my way down his neck and easily find his sweet spot so while he's engrossed in a kiss. i hope to get his jacket off so i could see his scar better, i want to help him, he is my boyfriend after all so while he's engrossed in me kissing his neck, i unzip his jacket and rip it off

"ah ha!

"NO" he screams, oh my god, he's absolutely covered in scars and what's this in the middle? it's a swirl with 8 prong like things coming from it, a seal? but why
"what is it?" i ask, stepping back a little bit
he starts to cry "i didn't want you to find out this way" he sobs, the realization hits me hard, like a hokage face thrown at my stomach, he's the 9 tails

"y-you're t-the 9 t-tails" i say, feeling tears well up in my own eyes "i promised myself if i ever meet th 9 tails, i was to kill him for choji, but i'm not that kind of person just-just why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"i thought you'd hate me, despise me, resent me ---" he trails off "a-are you angry?"

"not angry, just disappointed"
"you're lying"
"i'm not" i say defensively but now's not the time to be like this

"because everyone who says they love me or care for me, they go back on their words and they hurt me, they all despise me once they find out who i really am.. no one loves me, i'm un love able and when you hate me, when you get revenge on me, you'll be just like your parents"
"what do they have to do with this?!" i yell at him

he cries harder and clutches his stomach, a thing i'd seen before, when i told him about choji and what happened he's silent
"nar-"
"THEY HAVE EVERYTHING TO DO WITH IT!" he yells and points to his scar covered body "well to do with me"

"what do you mean naruto?"

he sits down and dried his tears
"i think it is est to get some things off my plate"

naruto tells me everything, from the rumor to being left in the street after that to die, my parents severely hurt him so he'd be to weak to transform even when the rumor wasn't true but naruto also told me this

- flash back (shika memory of narutos story) -

i was running own a street with 2 anbus chasing me because, i don't know I've done to many things to remember but i was weaving through people i turned to look behind but ran straight into shikaku
"i'm sorry"

"hey you're that kid" he says

"yes, i'm that kid"
"isn't he cute" yoshino says to shikaku
"he is really cute"

"he'd suit whiskers" yoshino says
"please help me from the anbu" i whisper and hide behind yoshino"
"anbu, naruto is long gone, no need to search here"
"yes" they reply to shikakus order and leave

"very kind of you sir, i'll be on my way now" i start to leave yoshino grabs me

"where yer going kid? you can't just leave"
"my house is safe"

"you're safe with us you come on, we'll get some dango" she takes my hand and the three of us went and got dango, yoshino and shikaku would take me out and protect em all the time i loved them and for a while, they adopted me but gave me back after that night. I've never trusted people the same

- end-

"naruto, i may be their son but i'm nothing like them, i won't leave or hurt you i promise"
"they promised too"

"well my one is real because i won't break mine, your ninja way is never go back on my word right?"
"yes"

"well then mine is never go back on my word too, see now i can't fail you"

he smiles and hugs me tightly
"thank you"
