Narushika & series 2 (one shot)

chapter 16

- shika pov - (3rd person is underlined)

it's now or never, i run in front of naruto and spread my arms out in order to protect him while my mum is running towards us with a kunai ready to kill my boyfriend, i close my eyes and wait but nothing comes. i peel my eyes open and she's standing less than 10 cm from me
"move shikamaru" she says angrily
"no"
"i will not hesitate to kill you if it means i can kill it" she spits and it's breaking my heart to hear it from my own mother
"really? I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME, BUT I WAS JUST A PAWN SO YOU COULD KILL NARUTO WAS THAT ALL I EVER WAS?!"

"nothing more and nothing less, why did you think we moved to the sand and trained you all about tailed beast, how to kill them and how to befriend them and it all went to plan, we hoped you would make naruto fall in love with you so he'd be easier for you to kill"
"well the variables have changed what you didn't add to the equation was that i fell in love with naruto... dad why'd you marry such a stupid girl?"

"dunno really, she's gone insane" he replies

she screams an animalistic war cry and runs at dad her kunai poised to kill, my mother is one of the fastest people the hidden leaf has to offer and not even sharingan can see her, she plunges the kunai into my dads heart, he coughs up blood then takes his last breath

"NO" i yell, a single tear spills over how could she how dare she kill her own husband in cold bl - *tug tug* i look down to see naruto tugging at my pants
"it's ok, shika" he says and gives me a bright smile
"yea we'll be ok... naruto" the other person restraining kurama whips their head towards us
"naruto?" she asks "is it really you? i can't believe it you know"

"who are you?" naruto asks a it shaken still, and drained from blood loss

the girl pulls off her black hood and a thick head of bright red hair falls out, her blue eyes focus on naruto, she looks like him
"you don't remember me?"
"no sorry"
"it's ok you were young, i'm kushina uzumaki"
his eyes widen, "my last name is uzumaki"
"hehe yea it is, we're from the same clan you know"
"oh, you look familiar do all uzumakis look the same?"
she stalks up to naruto and punches him in the face she's another yoshino
"what was that for?"
"YOU IDIOT CAN'T YOU TELL YOUR OWN MOTHER?! oh god my son's as dense and stupid as minato, you really look like him i wish he didn't die"

"haha i knew you were so screwed when their was no form of recollection in your face haha you are so stupid"
"how the hell did you know about this?"
"kushina was the former jinchuuriki"
"don't jinchuuriki die when the beats is extracted?"
"usually but i survived"
"how?"

"well the chakra of an uzumaki is special we live longer when the beast is extracted but the night you were born, madara stole the beast from me and your father died that night from being speared with kuramas claw i was next to him and wasn't speared but the two of us sealed  the tailed beast inside of you i thought i was going to die too but the 3rd hokage saved me and  everyone thinks i'm dead so i moved to the hidden sand where i met yoshino even though kurama was my tailed beast. he had killed my husband so i was going to kill him and that's why he didn't fight back from me i'm sorry, the hokage had also told me naruto was too young for the sealing and had died in the process"

"wow, i can't believe the hokage would tell you that and i forgive you, but please change sides help me, kurama and shika"
"of course i'll help you and kurama but why should i help him"
"well hehe we're kinda dating"
"oh" she says delighted "i'm kushina nice to meet you shikamaru"

"yea nice to meet you too" i say, all her mood swings are giving me whiplash "any way, we have my mum to fight, i'm dis owning myself from her because she killed my dad in cold blood. not to mention in front of me where he still is"
"ah yes, i'll release kurama then we can start" she releases her chakra chains
"hmph"
"i'm sorry kit"
"why do the only people who say that are you and naruto ugh"
"you say that too?"
"only to annoy him you know"
"you said you know"

"my catch phrase is believe it"
"yes, nice mother son moment but we can do this after we win"
"ah yes"

kushina runs and helps shika protect naruto while kurama heals naruto, my mother's in another corner making a battle plan, she turns to us, eyes crazed and lusting for blood shed this is a side of her I've never seen and i would've liked to keep it that way but too late
"i will succeed in my mission, even i need to kill you kushina"

"how do you plan to win mother?"
"shut up, you've always been weak and stupid and worthless and useless these words come so freely to me, I've always hated you i hate kids but i needed some one the same age as naruto temari is a good kid she never asks questions like you and choji is dead, he's my favorite child because he can't judge or speak unlike the pathetic family i have"
"ouch"
"stop being a sarcastic fool"

"may the best nara win"

"i'll beat you because i'm faster"
"but i'm smarter"
"AARGH LETS GO!"
she runs almost too fast for me to see her kunai is stuck in my dad but at this speed the force of her taijutsu attacks are enough to take me down, i block her kick with my kunai and dodge her punches, she's good for a retired shinobi. while i was momentarily distracted she goes to kick me, i'm gonna lose this *crash* her foot collides with a wall of thick chakra chains

"thank you kushina"

"no problem shikamaru" kushina sits with her boy inside her embrace while he sleeps but both her and kurama are sitting on the sidelines ready to fight an help out when it seems like i need it. naruto is lucky he's found a good family, his real family. my mum on the other hand tries attacking again by continuously punching and kicking the wall of chains even though she knows it's only taking her chakra away, nothing more inside her insanity she keeps going until her chakra is gone, she slips onto the floor and breathes heavily. i'm surprised she hasn't dies yet

"shika...maru.... please.... know I've... been fight... ing my insanity.... for quite some .... time now and ..... don't let tem... ari go on... with out family... visit her and... *cough cough* keep naruto... by your side.... i can .... see you truly.... love him, he loves you *cough* i'll be with... shikaku now, and choji.... heh what will i ever say.... to him my insanity won... but i'm out of my misery, i won the fights... but lost the war" she closes her eyes "i... love.. you" she whispers "forgive me" she takes her last breath

"it's ok shikamaru, naruto's coming to live with me now so feel free to join us"
"thanks kushina, i will"
"good job guys now get out, i'm tired"
"i know your parents died but good job, we won"
"yea i won for you, for us and your newly found mum" i lean in and kiss him 

"yay" kushina claps her hands lightly "i'm moving back to the hidden leaf"

"i'm the heir to the nara clan, we'll move into my house"

"really?"

"yea"

"what will i say to mebuki and fugaku, sakura and sasuke? they'll be heart broken"
"they'll be happy you found your mum, and you see sakura at school but you can hang out with sasuke too"
"yea naru it'll be ok from here on out" i take his hand, he takes kushinas hand and we walk back into our world
