Shikamaru woke up, or rather, pretended to. He couldn't sleep last night, just thinking about how warm he would be next to his lover. He took up his shift, grabbing the binoculars from Asuma-sensei.
"Don't worry Shika, the first day is always the hardest." Asuma told him as he handed him the binoculars. Shikamaru continued to be amazed at how well Asuma was able to read him. He sighed, trying to rid his thoughts of Naruto so he could focus on the mission at hand. It was near impossible, but he managed to clear most of his thoughts. He held onto one memory, the first time they told each other they loved each other on the way to the strip club. It put a smile on his face, something Shikamaru had not been able to do since he started the mission.
Finally, something happened. One of the ex-experiments, a tall male fellow began to lose his mind. He started lashing out on the others, eventually putting a kunai through the other experiments. Shikamaru looked back to Gai and Asuma-sensei who were sleeping. He didn't have time to wake him up. He had to catch this dude before he killed anymore. He leaped through the bushes. "Stop right there!" Shikamaru yelled. The man only smiled at him psychotically, licking his lips.
"You want some too?!" The man lunged at him with the kunai. Shikamaru quickly dodged them.
"How troublesome..." he muttered as the man kept throwing punches and kicks his ways, Shikamaru dodging them all. Then, he heard something crack. The man stood still as he heard something crack, this time watching as the man eye's turned red. "What the fuck did Orochimaru do to these people?!" Shikamaru thought as he tried to dodge his blows. It became harder and harder, whatever happened to the man, it made him faster and tougher. Sooner or later, Shikamaru was getting struck, as the man's punches started to land. "Ah!" Shikamaru cried out as he got hit square in the jaw, sending him to the floor.
He looked up at the man who loomed over at him, who tilted his head. "Hey, what's that shiny thing on your neck?" The man reached down and gripped Shikamaru's gift from Naruto, ripping it off his neck. "This is mighty pretty. Bet I might make a buck or two if I sell it." Something snapped inside of Shikamaru now.
"Shadow Bind Jutsu!" Shikamaru yelled, quickly freezing the opponent. "You're going to pay for that. NO ONE FUCKS WITH MY NARUTO!" Shikamaru yelled. He picked up his hand, forcing the man to do so as well. He waved bye-bye to the man with his left hand, once again the man followed. Then, with his right hand, he brought it to his throat, forcing the man to do so as well; however, in the man's hand was a kunai. Shikamaru swiped his hand across his throat, making the man slit his own throat, watching him die before his eyes.
The man fell to the floor, blood spurting out of the huge gash in his neck. Shikamaru walked over and grabbed the necklace back from his cold, dead hands. Shikamaru couldn't believe it, he just killed a man. What bothered him the most was that he didn't feel bad about it. No remorse whatsoever. He just felt happy that his necklace was back in his possession. He walked back to their camping spot, laying down next to Asuma-sensei. He was so exhausted. He felt his eyelids get heavy as he drifted off to sleep.
