Konoha High School

Feelings Of Loneliness

After the arcade, we started walking and I paused still seeing that same girl. "Shikamaru" said a voice, as I turned my head seeing a pretty girl with blonde hair and green eyes wearing a purple dress and high heel shoes. "Who’s that" I whispered. "Temari, Shikamaru's girlfriend" whispered Naruto. "EHHH" I shouted, as he smiled and I blushed lowering my head. "Hey Temari what's wrong?" he asked, as she crossed her arms. "Rumours going around that you’re sleeping with a girl from your high school" she said, as I paused. "You do not believe in rumours do you?" he asked smirking, as she smirked back. "Of course not, I just wanted to meet this girl you guys hang around with" she said, as Kiba pushed me forward, and I blushed and she smiled looking at me. "Hey I'm Temari" she said holding out her hand. I smiled shaking it. "I'm Mizuki" I said, as she smirked. "Hey you guys go do guy things for a while. While Mizuki and I go to do some shopping" said Temari, as they looked at her. "Mizuki shop that I'd like to see" said Kiba, as I growled. "You offering to pay Inuzuka?" I asked, as he smirked and closed his eyes. "Tell you what you spend more than 50 dollars and I'll reimburse you for it" he said, as I smirked. "Deal" I said, as they walked off. I started walking with Temari into a clothes store and she started picking out dresses. "So why'd you decide to hang around Shikamaru's group?" she asked, as I paused. "What do you mean?" I asked, as she smirked. "Let's face it their not the brightest bunch, and everyone knows they get into trouble" said Temari, as I paused looking at a red dress. "I guess it's because they convinced me that rumours are rumours and to just leave it at that" I said, as she giggled. I looked at her "Is that funny?" I asked, as she smirked and put a bunch of different dresses in my hands. "It's ironic" she said, as I paused and looked at her. "What do you mean?" I asked "Before high school Shikamaru was this geek who needed his grades to be high, Chouji had to be a body builder, and Kiba was amazing at soccer, and Naruto he used to be popular with Sasuke" she said, as I stopped and looked at her surprised. "Wha- What happened?" I asked, as she smiled. "Well Naruto got tired of the rumours, Kiba got tired of the fans, Chouji got tired of the pressure and Shikamaru met me" she said, as I paused and looked at the pile of dresses Temari had laid out for me. "I... never would have guessed" I said, as she smiled. "So... which one are you in for?" she asked, as I blushed. "What?" I asked, as she smiled. "Which one do you like?" she asked, as I paused and she dragged me into the changing rooms. "I... like all of them" I said pretending not to know her question. "Uh, so you’re just in it for the fun of getting in trouble" she said, as I sighed walking out wearing a silky red dress. "Not bad huh?" she asked, as I looked at myself in the mirror blushing. "Hey Temari... how did you know you liked Shikamaru?" I asked, as she paused and giggled while closing her eyes. "He was always around when I felt like crap for dating bogus guys and then it happened in a snap" she said, as I nodded looking at the ground. I tried on a few more dresses while talking to Temari about her and Shikamaru and the guys. After I bought five dresses because of Temari's expertise in buying the right dresses. We started walking and I paused seeing the guys’ arguing with Sasuke, Shino and another guy with brown hair. "Not again" said Temari, as I looked at her. "Something wrong?" I asked, as she sighed. "I used to go out with Neji and I dumped him because he's a flake, he's never gotten over it and he always has to pick a fight with Shikamaru" said Temari, as I nodded and we walked towards them. "Hey enough break it up" said Temari, as Neji hpmhed and I looked at them slightly walking away and Sasuke glaring at me. I turned back towards the guys who were calming down; I smirked and tapped Temari's shoulders. She looked at me and I gave her my bags, she looked at me questionably. "So Mizuki find anything?" asked Kiba smirking, as I sighed and glared at him. "Shut up" I said, as he smirked in triumph "Let's get something to eat I'm starving" said Kiba, as we all nodded sitting down. I was still thinking about when the guys were in their own groups and now they came together like this it was kind of cool I have to admit. "Eh, is Mizuki admiring my skills and strength" said Kiba, as I growled. "You wish mutt" I said, as they laughed. After the mall Kiba and Chouji were the first to leave and then Temari smirked handing me my bags. "Mizuki?" questioned Naruto, as I smiled. "Come on I have to throw the mutt a bone sometimes" I said, as Naruto laughed and Temari and Shikamaru walked off and Naruto and I started hanging around the mall a bit more. "Naruto" I said, as he looked at me "Yeah?" he said, as I looked at him "Why? Why did you leave? I mean Temari told me because of the rumours... but I mean what kind of rumour was it?" I asked, as he smirked and his eyes soften. "It was about this girl I liked" he said, as I paused and looked at him "She... well she's still pretty smart and I wanted to ask her out, but... when I started hanging around her girls were trying to convince me that she was a prostitute and stuff like that. I ignored it of course... but I could see the suffering she was going through" said Naruto, as I stopped and lowered my head and looked at him. "Do... you still like her?" I asked, as he paused and smiled. "Don't worry about it, let’s get home" he said, as I watched the back of Naruto starting to get further away from me. This girl he likes... why did she easily give up into the rumours?
