Back Where? [AVATAR X NARUTO]

12: Recalled the Times

"You're so pretty!" I heard someone say in the dark as it echoed in my mind.

.

..

"If I grow this tall then will you accept me?" I heard him again then I heard myself giggle.

"I already have accepted you silly!".

...

"I love you!" His voice spoke out to me.

Then a clip played out in my mind. My vision showed the black haired boy. His lips were pressed against mine, my eyes were closed while his we're slightly open. I only could stare, feeling confused that I don't remember him. I mean this guy seemed to have taken my first kiss away from me. How can I not remember him?

He had blue eyes with hints of gray. His skin was pale and porcelain. His body was fit and slim with biceps forming around his arms. He had a visible jawline and light pink lips. But this was when I was 11 years old. I could tell because of my hair in a braid.

I woke up, my eyes shooting open. I gasped for air and I touched the soft grass beneath my feet. With a sighed I stared at the sky in wonder.

So I blinked. 'Was that an illusion? But it seems so real!' I thought tilting my head. I curled my toes and tensed. Then I touched my lips which suddenly seemed to have more meaning. I blushed just thinking about what happened. My face heat up as pink crept on to my cheeks.

Then I wondered. What happened to him? What was his name? Why can't I remember him? Then why is it coming back to me now? With all these questions I didn't even realize how late I must be and how Zuko is probably worried by now.

I tried standing up only falling down again. I groaned and punched my legs trying to stand. As I finally stood up I almost fell down again until someone caught me. I looked up to see Shikamaru the class lazy but smart student.

"Shika...maru? What are you doing here?" I asked tilting my head.

"I could ask the same thing you troublesome woman..." He answered grumbling to himself.

I snickered. "Just sleeping." I replied as he helped me stand up.

He grinned and made a laugh. "You too? I sleep here or look at the clouds most of the time." He answers truthfully.

"Just here to clear my head...can you help me please?" I asked referring to my legs which were moving.

He just grunted while helping me up. I shakily stood up and carried my books in my other hand. Shikamaru slowly walked with my arms around his shoulder. We both walked into town as he helped me back to my apartment building.

...

Shikamaru knocked on the apartment door. I heard a groan of irritation from the other side.

"I told you Yukino! I don't want to go a date with you!" I heard Zuko holler.

I covered my mouth holding back a laugh as Shikamaru sighed then smiled. Our giggles seemed to have reached him since he opened to door.
