  It was the last day before winter break for them. They would have all of December off until the cold goes away. Ito sat in the back as they were all celebrating. Naruto was with Choji and Shikamaru at the food table.

  There was no point of talking to the others. He only showed up for warmth and food at the academy is what he thought to himself. All he had to do now was wait for the bell to ring, so he could hurriedly find shelter before the snowstorm happens. Which will happen by next week.

  He already stuffed food into his bag secretly. Though they were just snacks, and not actual meals.

" Ito-Kun, aren't you g-going to c-celebrate?.." A frail voice stuttered. He lifted his head to see who had called him. " I'm good, thanks though." Hinata had a concerned face but didn't push it any further.

She walked back down the steps where the others were. Sakura went beside her, " Did he want to come?" Hinata looked down and shook her head.

" Why is he always like that?." The pink haired girl mumbled, staring over at Ito who had his head down. Naruto interrupts Sakura's thoughts with Cake presented in front of her.

" Sakura-Chan! Here's cake!" Naruto offered. Sakura twitched.


" Didn't I tell you that I was on a diet!!?" Sakura informed angrily.

The bell rang and right when Naruto went to talk to Ito, he had already left soon after.


' ..Ito..'

" This is a drag..." Shikamaru uttered, as it was a foggy snowy morning.

" I know, let's hurry it up before the snow storm happens again." Shikaku advised. They both were carrying groceries since Shikamaru's mother had requested it.

  It felt like time froze for him, and he dropped the bag he carried. His father looked surprised at his sons absurd reaction from something.

" What's wrong?" Shikaku questioned as he managed to grab the bag on the floor.

" ITO! Oi!" The fog was clear and he then saw what was wrong. His son held onto a friend of his from the academy.

  Ito was unconscious, and his skin had a pale blueish tint to it. His bag was empty and covered in snow.

  He handed some of the bags to Shikamaru and picked up Ito carefully. There they carried him to the Nara compound.

  His eyelids opened slightly, his vision adjusting. Head throbbing slightly.


' Where am I?..'


  Ito turned his head and noticed the weird black spikyness beside him on the edge.

  He removed the lukewarm rag placed on his forehead and sat up. Taking notice that he was not in his black kimono anymore but a sweater and the regular shinobi pants that were surprisingly warm.


" ...Shikamaru? Is that you?" He only received a small groan and troublesome along the lines.

  The Nara faced up to see who had bothered his sleep and noticed Ito awake. He was about to sleep until he realized it was Ito awake. Shikamaru instantly got off the bed and placed a hand on his shoulder.
