Rewriting.

He looked the the little kid with calculative eyes,

"What's your name?"

He took and deep breath and closed his eyes,

"Kaito."

"Kaito?"

"Yes."

"Just Kaito?"

"..."

He stared at kaito for a few seconds unable to shake off jow familiar he look,

He huffed before talking in a almost hurried manner, wanting to know something to correct his accusations.

"Look kid, I won't beat around the bush. Just tell me both of you're parents name."

A moment of silence followed by the hiccups of the little boy,

he lowered his head which was almost under the table by now as he muttered in a small voice,

" Shikai Nara and Himiko Kokoro, from what I can remember atleast."

Shikamaru's blood ran cold, his heart dropped to his stomach as soon as he heard that name.

That one name that has refused to ever leave his mind,

That one name that has haunted his every night,

That one name that made the unfathomable pain in his heart.

"S-shikai..? You're his kid?!"

His eyes widened, breath quickened,

"Oh my god-!"

His hand went to his forehead in disbelief as the realization crashed upon him,

'Shikai... '

'He was alive all along? all these years?!? He even had a kid!'

"Uncle? are you ok?"

His fantic gaze snapped back to the young boy infront of him worriedly peeking from under the table.

He took a small breath to remind himself that he cannot act upon emotion during a time like this.

He could hear his own heart beat slowly calming down.

Only for it to break upon realizing what the boy had just called him..

uncle.. huh? It's a title that he never imagined to have,

But he liked the sound of it.

Shikamaru broke into a small smile,

he didn't need any explanation from the boy,

His eyes had already witnessed the scars scattered around the little boys arms and legs,

him being an half Kokoro,

his lack on informtion on his parents could only meant one thing, there was no way they'd be alive if he was in this state,

and the boy suddenly being too nervous around him even though naruto had been whining about getting roasted by him.

The older Nara chuckled,

'You really are something kai..'

"Alright kaito, follow me.. let's head home shall we?" he smirked with an extended hand which the little boy grabbed hesitantly.

Suddenly, Shikamaru felt light.. the huge guilt the he'd been carrying has been lifted off his shoulder,

His heart didn't ache this time when he thought of that one name.

Shikai Nara,

His first friend,

first brother,

His other half,

and his worst nightmare.

He glanced down at Kaito as he recalled something,

'Love is blinding huh? You must have really love her to fool us into believing that you died just so you could run away with her..'

He smirked,

'I get it now, kai. I'd do the same as well..

They don't call us twins for nothing you know?'
