Shikamaru Nara One-Shot - But It's A Good Troublesome

Shikamaru-kun!!!

You sighed as you walked up onto the roof. You walked over and sat down on a bench and stared at the clouds as they rolled by. You closed your eyes and slowly drifted to a far of place where the sky was green and the grass was blue. Your fantasy world. You were having fun until you heard someone walking up to you. You could sense their Chakra. You opened one eye to see a guy with black hair pulled back into a ponytail holder. It was Shikamaru you were pretty sure. Chouji and I were good friends so you’d met Shikamaru a few times before. You didn’t really know him from Adam but you knew his name. “mind if I set?” he asked. You sleepily moved over without really getting up. He sat down next to you and laid back. “I’m Shikamaru, Nara Clan, I think we’ve met before, but I forget your name.” he said. You opened your eyes and looked at him. He wasn’t wearing his Chunnin jacket for once.

“Zen,” you answered and put out your hand to shake. He took it and you smiled. “Fujiwara Clan.” Shikamaru got a weird look on his face.

“never heard of them.”

“I’m from the Waterfall Village.” you laughed. “I’m new around here.” you shrugged and looked back up at the clouds. You yawned lazily and stretched. “my friend lives around here so I came to visit one time and never left.” you chuckled (I’m the friend by the way).

“who’s your friend?”

“Suki Fujiwara.” you answered.

“wouldn’t that make you sisters?”

“no she’s a distant cousin twice removed by marriage.” you waved it off. “no blood relation.” you yawned again and closed your eyes. “I love the clouds,” you said. You could sense Shikamaru looking over at you, but you didn’t want to open your eyes.

“Hey Fujiwara!” shouted Naruto’s voice. Both you and Shikamaru sat up. “Zen are you ready to go train with me?” he asked. You jumped up and ran over to him. You gave him a huge high five and smiled.

“sure.” you shrugged. You looked back at Shikamaru who watched amazed.

“weren’t you just tired?” he asked.

“yeah but when your friends with Naruto, you gotta be ready for anything.” you shrugged and walked off with Naruto. As you walked away Shikamaru sat there and looked at the hand that you shook.

“Fujiwara Zen,” he said to himself and laid back again.

The rest of the day you fought and trained with Naruto. You were a Jonin and went easy on him. You were only two years older and you were about four inches taller. So you were really short for being 15. It was dark by the time you and Naruto called it a truce. You leaned on each other as you walked away. You dropped Naruto off at his house and slowly walked home. For some reason, unknown to you, you couldn’t get Shikamaru’s face out of your head.

Self: I wonder what he looks like with his hair down…

You tried to picture it but ended up running into your mailbox. “ouch,” you coughed and walked up to your house and in. You slowly walked into your bedroom and laid down. I was across the hall sawing logs. You chuckled and got up to shut the door. While you were shutting the door your stomach growled. “ah crap.” you sighed and walked into the kitchen while tripping over something as you walked. It was dark and you had your arms out in front of you until you found the refrigerator. I walked up the hallway and flipped on the light.

“looking for something?” I asked. Kicking the thing you tripped over off to the side with my foot.

“shut up.” you sighed. I noticed how you had cuts all up and down your arms.

“training with Naruto again?” I walked into the bathroom and picked up the First Aid kit and followed you to the kitchen table as you put your food down. You pulled off your jacket and let me bandage you up.

“yeah,” you winced as I put a bandage on one deep cut.

“Shikamaru stopped by,” I said. You looked at me.

“really?” you asked.

“he was wondering if you were back yet.” I smiled up at you.

“yeah I kind was talking to him while we were watching the clouds.” you sighed.

“he wanted me to tell you that he’ll be on roof tomorrow at the same time if you can make it.” I smirked and put the First Aid Kit back up. “kind of sounds to me like Shikamaru likes you.”

“shut up,” you said turning the other way.

“you are so immature sometimes.” I rolled my eyes.

“sometime you act too mature.” you said back.

“well that I can’t argue with.” I shrugged. “good night.” I sang and walked out of the room.

When you were done eating you put up your food and walked back to your room turning off the light behind you. You shut the door and crawled into bed. You slowly drifted off thinking about Shikamaru.

“Zen!” you heard me shout. “Zen get up!” I started shaking the bed. You groaned and turned over and put a pillow over your head. “Zen you have a visitor you lazy butt.” I laughed and threw the covers off of you. I pulled on your ankles and you finally got up. You pulled on your jacket and walked out. Your hair was messed up and you didn’t give a damn. You walked out into the living room to see Naruto. He was watching the floor concerned.

“Naruto? What is it Naruto?” you asked.

“Niisan!” Naruto jumped up and hugged you. You looked at him confused but hugged him back. Someone knocked on the door and I walked over and opened the door. Shikamaru stood there.

“Hey Suki-sensei is Zen here?” Shikamaru asked in his normal lazy tone. You weren’t really paying attention though.

“yeah actually she is.” I let him in. He walked in enough to see that you were hugging Naruto. His face turned red and he walked back out. “Shikamaru?” I asked.

“sorry I forgot that I need to see Asuma-sensei about something.” Shikamaru shrugged. “Tell Zen I was here.” he said and stalked away with his hands stuffed in his pockets. I walked over and pulled Naruto by the back of his collar out and pushed him out of the door.

“niisan,” Naruto wined.

“I need to talk to Zen.” I said and shut the door. “Zen, what the heck is wrong with you?” I asked.

“I don’t know, but you broke my hug.” you sulked and sat down on the couch.

“you are so immature.” I growled and pulled you up from the couch. “can’t you see that Shikamaru likes you!” I shouted.

“he does not!” you shouted back.

“why wouldn’t he?”

“because he doesn’t!”

“what is telling you that?” I crossed my arms. “he just showed up at your house and asked for you.” I said. “not just that but he showed up the other day and asked for you. And came back the next day.” I sighed. “when he walked in he saw you hugging Naruto, his face turned red and he walked away lying about going to talk to Asuma-sensei who’s out on a mission.” I chuckled at Shikamaru’s bad lying. You sat back down on the couch and sighed.

“but I’m not worth his attention.” you said not really meaning to say that out loud. But I would have just read your mind anyway.

“I thought I had confidence issues.” I chuckled. I titled your chin up so you had to look at me. “Zen I’m gonna tell you this as your big sister.”

Self: but she’s not my sister…

“well I act like it don’t I?” I asked, reading your mind. I sat down next to you. “your beautiful, smart, funny, confident…” I said. “you have a strong heart and don’t like to give up, your protective of the ones you love, you’d give your own life before you let other people die.” you felt your face flush. You loved it when I did this, but you didn’t have me say all this normally or I would stop. “you can put anyone and keep them in a headlock of death, your strong physically, your caring, and loving.” I rolled my eyes. “you have people that love you all around you. I care about you, your parents care and love you,” you blushed harder at the next thing I said: “and I’m sure Shikamaru will love you if you give him some time.” I stood up and walked into the kitchen. “Shikamaru’s on the roof if you want to go talk to him.” I sighed.

“fine,” you stood up but realized you should change before you went outside. You changed and then walked out. You walked to the one roof that you were on before. You heard Shikamaru talking and you stopped before you reached the top to listen to him.

“I don’t get it Chouji.” Shikamaru sighed. “she’s a girl, girls a troublesome…she is troublesome but I want to talk to her.” Shikamaru shook his head.

“Sorry Shikamaru, but I don’t know.” Chouji munched on chips as he went along.

“maybe I should go talk to her.” Shikamaru stood up, you thought that this was your chance so you walked up and stood at the stair top. Shikamaru looked over and kind of smiled. “oh Zen,” Shikamaru sighed, Chouji got up and walked away still munching on chips. You walked over and sat down where Chouji was just setting. Shikamaru sat down next to you and laid back. “I have to say,” Shikamaru sighed and looked over at you. “normally I think women are troublesome and are a pain in my neck.” Shikamaru smiled.

“yeah I heard you, you don’t have to say it again.” you stood up and went to walk away. Shikamaru grabbed you by the waist and pulled you back down so you were setting on him. “Shikamaru!” you yelled and tried to get away from him. But he kept a tight grip on you around your stomach.

“Zen, please listen to me.” Shikamaru said. You stopped struggling and caved.

“fine but you have to let me go.” you said, he shook his head.

“if I do then you’ll run away.” Shikamaru said.

Self: dang it! How’d he know?

“dang it…” you grumbled and sat there. He put his forehead against your back.

“I’m smarter than you think.” he laughed. “Zen, I’m gonna be honest with you,” he sighed. You put your hands on his arms. “I think women are troublesome, but…but there’s something about you.” Shikamaru stammered. “your different from the rest of the population of women.” Shikamaru’s grip loosened a little bit. “I’ve never felt like I can lay back and watch the clouds with a girl and not have them nagging my ear off because they’re bored, or they want to see a movie, or they have to go to the bathroom, or they’re hungry.” Shikamaru growled.

Self: apparently he’s tried to watch clouds with other girls…

“I can tell that you’re my kind of girl.” he said shyly. You had enough and leaned to the side so you were facing him. He looked at you almost ashamed. You leaned over and kissed him gently on the lips. He was shocked for a moment then kissed you back. When you pulled away from him he was blushing. He looked away like he was annoyed. “maybe you are troublesome.” he grumbled.

“hey!” you laughed slapping his arm.

“but it’s a good troublesome.” he smirked and kissed you. “will you accept if I ask you out for some Ramen?” he asked you. You just kissed him again. You playfully nipped at his bottom lip, he was being stubborn and didn’t open his mouth. You pulled away and glared at him.

“no.” you answered simply and got up from his lap. And started to walk away. He grabbed you again around the waist and pulled you back into his lap. He tilted up your chin and kissed you on the lips passionately. You gasped giving him the right away to your mouth. He explored your mouth and you two battled for dominance. You ended up winning. You missed your training with your team because you fell asleep in Shikamaru’s arms.

Its been three years since then, Shikamaru became a Jonin and you stayed where you were. You helped Iruka out at the Academy and Shikamaru soon became jealous. You just laughed and finally admitted that you love him. It was true…you did love him and you still do. After about four years Shikamaru finally asked you to marry him. You accepted and was married before two months passed.
The End!!
He's Cute when he blushes...
