Okay since I’ve doing my chapter fic, I haven’t written a one-shot so I thought I would write a little one-shot, NejiShika of course.

Disclaimer: I don’t own.

Cinderella, Naruto Style

Once upon a time there was a beautiful woman and a handsome man, they both loved each other dearly, but the day that the woman gave birth to her child, she couldn’t handle it as she held her baby boy she uttered her final words.

“Dear husband please do not bear any hatred for our son, it was not his fault for my sickness, please love our child and make sure he grows up happy. My last wish is for him to be named Shikamaru, if that is alright with you.”

“Shikamaru is a fine name, and I will make sure he grows up happy and loved.” The man said and then wept as his love died. When Shikamaru turned fourteen his father got remarried to a widow, with to daughters as wicked as she is.

Three months later his father was killed by wolfs while he was hunting, that’s when things went downhill for Shikamaru, the only reason that his step-mother and step-sisters were even remotely kind to him was because of his father, now that he was gone the could treat him however they wanted.

“NARA WHERE IS MY DRESS? I SWEAR IF YOU RUINED IT IN ANY WAY YOU WILL BE PUNISHED!” Shikamaru’s step-sister Ten-Ten screeched. The poorly dressed, badly beaten, and under fed boy ran and handed his step-sister the dress she ordered, they were going to the ball the royal Hyuuga family was having, of course Shikamaru wanted to go -not because he was looking for anyone, just that if he didn’t see anyone else but his family he might go insane- but his wicked family would not allow it.

“We expect this place to be spotless by the time we get back, got it? No screw-ups!” “Yes step-mother.” Shikamaru responded to the evil bitch. When they left Shikamaru being the genius that he is thought of a plan to go to the ball. There were many reasons he wanted to go, but the biggest was that his best friend –and only- from childhood Naruto moved in the Hyuuga manor when him and his lover Gaara got serious and he hasn’t seen him since.

He grabbed the beautiful dress that was his late mother’s, preformed a jutsu –which Naruto taught him- and transformed into a beautiful woman with long brown hair and brown eyes –he could not be recognized by his family, the consequences were deadly-. Since the Hyuuga manor wasn’t too far he got there before the ball was over.

He searched for Naruto but couldn’t find him; he walked into the garden and admired the roses. “Why are you out here all alone?” ‘SHIT!’ Shikamaru thought as he looked into the eyes of Neji Hyuuga. You see the ball was so that Neji could find a bride, and now he had to run into him.

“I’m looking for someone.” Shikamaru answered. “Aren’t we all? I have to find a bride, but all these women want is either the money or the title.” Neji said frowning. As the clock struck midnight Shikamaru gasped looked at the clock and stood up. “I have to go!’ He yelled over his shoulder as he ran.

“Wait! What’s your name?” Neji yelled desperately, he enjoyed talking to the young woman, she didn’t want the title or his money and she was very beautiful in his opinion. Shikamaru ran home, put the dress away, turned back to normal, and cleaned the house.

The next day Neji went door to door along with his servant Gaara and Gaara’s lover Naruto, looking for the beautiful girl, he didn’t have anything to remember her by, but he remembered what she looked like exactly. They went to Shikamaru’s house and Sakura -his other step-sister- answered the door.

‘I am looking for my soon to be bride, may I come in?” Sakura nodded her head and opened the door. The girl bounded up the stairs and grabbed her sister and mother. While she was upstairs they herd grumbling coming from the kitchen and a very beautiful young man came out of the kitchen.

Neji felt his pants tighten and got horribly confused, why was he getting hard by just looking at this boy when he was in love with the girl from the ball? “Shikamaru……?” Naruto exclaimed looking at the boy.

Shikamaru turned his head at the exclamation and the three boys got to see the horrible shape the boy was in. “SHIKAMARU, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? STOP JUST STANDING THERE AND SERVE OUR GUESTES!” Ten-Ten screeched.

Shikamaru winced at the volume of the girl’s voice, but did as he was told. “I just don’t get it–”Shikamaru stopped and listened as he set down the tea and sweets. “We’ve been to every house and I still can’t find anyone that resembles her.” Neji said confused and irritated.

“OI! What did she look like?” Naruto asked. “She had beautiful long brown hair, entrancing brown eyes, and-” Naruto busted out laughing and Shikamaru started to blush. “That’s no woman! That was Shikamaru! So you still know how to use it huh Shikamaru?” Naruto said howling in laughter again as Shikamaru blushed.

“So……it was you?” Neji asked looking at Shikamaru, Shikamaru nodded. Neji smiled. “I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful bribe, male or female.” Neji said as he picked up the Nara, kissed him, and took him back to the Hyuuga manor were they were to be wed the next day.
