Staged

Sixth Stage: Warping

Shikamaru was waiting for Naruto while being flocked by his former teammates along with Team 7. They had a change of plans once Shikamaru told him that they were trying to limit his movements. Naruto told him he fed the kids ramen and sent them onto their playdate so he was coming soon. They were in some sushi restaurant since Ino and Sakura were running the group. So far he hasn't seen Hinata, Kiba and Shino. And as if to curse his luck they were the ones that came in next. 

They looked completely different, well eight years did change a person. He almost wanted to smirk when they saw him. His hair was combed and in a high ponytail, the spikes were there from his Nara traits. He wore a a black kimono like top with his shoulders exposed with sleeves that swallowed his hands and light blue jeans. Combat boots finished the look. He eyed the tracking unit and observed the obvious changes. Lee clung to Shino's arm and Hinata held Kiba's hand lightly. 

This time he did laugh, it was so weird seeing Hinata coupling up with Kiba since she's been chasing Naruto all her life. They looked at him in total shock and he only gave a lazy grin. "Long time no see. For obvious reasons." He greeted. 

"So the rumors we're true." Hinata said in awe. "Naruto-kun is here." Shikamaru didn't miss the suffix Hinata added and chose not to comment on it.

"Yeah he's coming to this little kidnapping you've all arranged." Shikamaru said with a yawn. Team 8 sat and started a small conversation and they never failed to fire questions at Shikamaru. Shikamaru had closed his eyes and feigned sleep to avoid them. He could feel Naruto's chakra just outside the private room they ordered. 

Naruto slid the door open and the entire place went quiet. Naruto leaned in the door frame with a bored look on his face. "Shikamaru," His deep voice called. Shikamaru opened his eyes to look at his husband who was waiting for him to talk. Before he could get a word out Hinata squeaked. He could understand why though. Naruto was in a white skin tight sleeveless turtle neck and black Anbu pants. He ditched his sword in favor for a small tanto strapped to his thigh. On his bicep was their bond mark. The kanji for Kitsune.  

"Yes Naruto." He replied, Naruto stepped in the room and slid the door closed and leaned against it.

"A couple questions." Naruto said and sighed. "Am I going to regret bringing you here?" Shikamaru smirked internally, it's show time.

"No, what are you talking about?" Shikamaru sat up from his relaxed position. Naruto stepped closer to where he was boxed in by Choji.

"So can you tell me why your father seems so confident in the fact that you and our kits are going to be staying here after one month has passed?" Choji and Ino stiffened and Shikamaru felt this. He turned to glare at them.

"Naruto that's due to them-" He didn't get to finish as he felt Naruto's fingers wrap around his throat. It wasn't threating in the slightest in fact it brought out Shikamaru's more docile side.

"Oh I know who brought that thought in his head but that's not what I'm getting at." Naruto's eyes began flickering, it took everything in Shikamaru not to moan. "Shikamaru if you waver in the slightest I won't hesitate to send you home."

"I won't and you know this better than anyone." Shikamaru snarled, Naruto smirked and kissed him. Naruto pulled back and gave a short laugh. "What's so funny."

"Nothing, question are you staying here." Naruto asked as he straightened out. "I have to get back to work so talk fast."

"I wanna stay but can I have your wallet?" Shikamaru tilted his head, Naruto rolled his eyes and pulled out a thick blue leather wallet and tossed it to him. "Thank you Naruto." 

"I swear you shop like crazy and yet the money isn't dented." Naruto huffed. 

"Oh shut up." Shikamaru snapped. "Lunch is on me or rather Naruto since it's his wallet."
