While I was searching I found a unique butterfly. It was black in colour and had a little white at the edges of it's wings. "Hey guys!,look!I found one!" I whisper yelled,when the boys heard me they came over to were I was looking.
"Where is it?" Choji asked in a low voice to not scare the butterfly away."Its over here" I whispered as I pointed in its direction. Then both boys looked at it."Soo coool,i have never seen a butterfly like this one before,it looks so mysterious and beautiful."said Choji. "You know,i thought this would be a drag but seeing this now,it not so bad after all" said Shikamaru.
After he said that the butterfly started to fly off of the bush. It rose up and up,but then it turned around and landed on my nose."Wow" said Choji."It landed on her nose" said Shikamaru intrigued by that.
That butterfly flapped its wings 8 times on my nose before flying away again. We stayed quiet for a while and then "THAT WAS SOO COOL!"yelled Choji."I know right,can't believe a butterfly landed on your nose,although the butterfly was kinda mysterious" stated Shikamaru."Yeah your right,its just like (y/n)." Said Choji."Like me??"I said in confusion."Yeah,i mean you are the new girl,mysterious and new,after all we haven't seen that butterfly before" stated Shikamaru.
"Oh..I see...well its just a coincidence,you know..ha..ha" I said nervously,knowing I am keeping a deep secret."Hey,by the way are you gonna start attending the Academy with us (y/n)?" asked Choji."*gulp*..the..um..the Academy?" I said nervously."Yeah,you know,the Shinobi academy in the village,personally I think its such a drag but dad says I have to attend."said Shikamaru.
"Yeah..well..i haven't thought about that and I don't really come from a shinobi family or a shinobi clan soo..."I said trailing off."Ohh..sorry I didn't know you could not perform ninjutsu." apologised Choji."Um..yeah..its..its okay..ha..ha..ha" I said nervously.
Then i looked at Shikamaru and saw that he was staring at me.'uhh,no,what if he knows i am hidding something,if he finds out it will be bad for us' i thought. These types of thoughts kept swirling inside my head until "HEY GUYS!,STOP STARING AT EACH OTHER PLEASE!" yelled Choji snapping us out of our trance."Wha-","Eh-".
Me and Shikamaru blinked a few times realising we were both staring at each other while lost in thought and i turned completely red and turned away to hide my face. When I became less flustered and turned around i saw that Shikamaru had a tint of red on him too.
"Choji!,dont just yell stupid things like that and i wasnt staring,i was observing something,okay?!" Shikamaru said defensively to Choji then turning away pouting."Wow,Shikamaru i was talking about playing another game and then i saw you guys lost in thought staring at each other,c'mon today we should have fun and not just stand around,so lets play tag,okay?"."Okay Choji" i said,"fine" said Shikamaru still looking away.
<< Time Skip>>>
We played tag for a while until it was five thirty.
"Shikamaru!,your dad is here to pick you up and (y/n) and Choji it almost dinner time,so come on!" yelled Choza. "Okay dad!" said Choji to his father. We went to the stoep and i saw a man who looks like an older version of Shikamaru talking with my brother and Mr Akimichi."Hey,you ready to go?" he asked Shikamaru."Yes dad" he answered.
Then he turned to me."Huh?,and what's your name young girl?"."Oh..um..I am (y/n),pleased to meet you" i said bowing."My name is Shikaku Nara and please don't be too formal,its such a drag,just act normal around me okay?"he said with a smile,"Okay,Mr Shikaku" i said with a smile."Good to see you have a new friend Shikamaru","yeah whatever dad".."haha...eh,by the way..is she gonna attend the Academy too?" he asked turning to my brother.
"Umm...sorry sir but we just came here to open our restaurant in the village,by the way,do you mind coming next Monday for our opening?" he asked with hopeful eyes."hmm....well i don't see why not,okay i will come with my wife and Shikamaru." he said."Huh?...really?...thank you so much Mr Nara" he said bowing a couple of times."hahahaha!.., i guess now we know how the two of you are related,your so alike,haha!" said Choza.
"I am not like him" I said pouting."yeah,we are nothing alike" said my brother also pouting which only made Choza laugh more and Shikaku join in too. After a loo..ng while they stopped."Everyone its time for dinner!". "Alright then we should go Shikamaru,say bye to your friends,your mother will be a drag of we are late for dinner." said Shikaku."Bye guys,hope we can play again soon (y/n)." he said waving and leaving with his dad."Bye Shikamaru!.", we both said waving "and I hope we can play again too,bye " I finished still waving goodbye.
When they left,the four of us went inside to eat dinner .While we were eating Mr and Mrs Akimichi asked us a few questions but nothing too bad or unexpected."Can I ask you kids a few questions?" asked Choza."Of course sir" answered my brother."Can you tell me,is it just the two of you or do you have relatives and where are your parents?" he asked and at that question my face dropped,sadness all over my face.
"Yeah,it..um..it is just the two of us... no we have no distant relatives. And our parents kinda died a few years ago so..." my brother answered trailing off.
"Oh..um..sorry...I didn't mean to pry..but just remember,we in the leaf are all family and we protect each other just as much,our village is the place to be in this shinobi era,so as the head of the Akimichi clan,i welcome you to our leaf family!" said Choza.
"Oh thank you"he said with a smile but in reality he thought 'i wish that were true, but if you find out the truth...our lives will be at stake and i will protect my sister no matter what'.We kept talking together and all of us had a great time.
After dinner me and my brother left thanking the family for their hospitality and going home.
When we got home both of us got ready for bed and before I went to sleep my brother sang me a song our mother always sung to us before bed. A lalabye."Are you ready?" asked my brother quietly."yes big brother. *yawn*" I answered. My brother got under that the bed sheets with me and then he started singing:
My Little prodigy under the night sky
Sleep to grow healthy and strong
Fight to protect and fight to shine
To love and accept the world you live in
You must look to the future
Look beyond hatred
Love with your soul and heart
Protect what you believe in with your might
Fight for your dreams and family
My Little prodigy under the night sky
Rest and listen to your dreams
Dream of a bright future
For peace and unity in your world
Red eye shining in the night
White eye bright as the moon
See though illusion and deception too
See far and wide with your eyes of hope
To watch and protect those you love
My little prodigy under the night sky
Relax and sleep under the stars
Look to the future and learn from the past
Always seek truth and see through lies
To protect yourself and your siblings too
Your flames must burn through pain
Your gentle fists must break through walls
With your palms you must build
With your power you must fight for piece
Those with eyes of white and those with red
They are all your family so protect them all
My little prodigy under the night sky
Look forward to tomorrow's sun
We might be separated,but we are together
We share our blood and eyes of pearl and ruby
Now close your eyes and sleep my little rose
My brother drifted of to sleep while singing to me,and that night we both slept in my bedroom. "Goodnight big brother" I silently said and kissed him on the forehead before drifting to sleep myself.
