Conversations Long Overdue
Chapter 5
Shikamaru was stressed and he hadn’t slept much in the last two weeks. Naruto had disappeared two weeks ago after his last fight with Sasuke and no one could get into contact with him. They had tried tracking his phone but got nothing, they tried tracing his bank/credit card usage and got nothing from that either. The only thing they managed to find was that he got onto a flight to Mexico then all signs of him disappeared and he certainly wasn’t there anymore- they had checked.
Everyone was going crazy, they were all very concerned- especially considering what had happened before he left. Naruto was strong and he certainly wasn’t suicidal but everyone had their limits. It would be alright if he would call but he hadn’t and the only thing everyone could do was wait- and no one was good at that. If there was one thing Shikamaru knew though, it was that when Naruto got back everyone would be somewhere between pissed and relieved. He was sure that he would come back though, he had too much here, had worked too hard and built too much, not to.
The phone rang and Shikamaru trudged over to it with a sigh. Everyone had been bugging him lately with practically non-stop calls to his and Naruto’s apartment. As if it would bring him back, as if he wouldn’t call if somehow Naruto showed up.
“Hello?” he asked quietly.
Who was it this time? Tsunade? Jiraiya? Kiba? Sai?
“Shikamaru?” the voice asked.
Shikamaru nearly dropped the phone in shock.
“Naruto? Naruto, is that you? Where are you? Are you okay? Everyone’s worried sick.”
“Everything’s fine, Shika. I’m not going to tell you where I am but I’m fine, sorry for leaving.”
Shikamaru sighed, “No you’re not, everyone’s riding my ass because of you. You owe me for lack of sleep too,” he ran a hand through rumpled strands, “Is this helping? Did leaving help you? Are you feeling better?”
The line was quiet for a moment, “Yeah, Shika, I am. I just needed to be away from everything.”
Shikamaru sighed again, damn it, he was going to forgive him and that’s all it took, “Okay. Do you have enough money or do you need anything?”
“No, I’m alright.”
It was his turn for silence, “Are you going to be… will you be back anytime soon?”
There was a gust of air over the reciever, “Yeah, I should be back soon. Maybe a couple of weeks.”
“Okay, take care of yourself, and try to call again.” What else could he say?
“I will,” Naruto replied.
There was nothing to say to that so he hung up. He leaned against the desk the phone was on for a couple of moments before he took a deep breath and started making calls. Damn Naruto, he had made his life considerably more troublesome.
A/N: Yeah, I know it's short but look on the bright side: you'll see the next chapter- which is longer- in 3 days. I got so many reviews for last chapter, it made me so happy that I'm now ahead on these chapters because I wrote more. You guys may start seeing even more frequent updates if I get ahead enough.
mistress0fyaoi: You'll get your wish in chapter 7.
Prism0467: What just happened? Naruto and Sasuke broke up.
cynaga: Thank you.
Anon: Yep. As seen in this conversation.
NarutoVixin: Wait till you see chapter 8, I've still got some surprises in store.
qwerty: Thank you, I wasn't sure about that, you were the only one that answered that question. I'll leave it like this then.
