(No POV)

   The Nara family stopped when they realised, their new family members weren't behind them.
Shikamaru was happy, but his dad was worried.
   "Could we have lost them?" Shikaku's wife asked nervously. Then high piercing screams rang through the boxed in area they were at.
   The parents/ninjas raced to the area the screams originated from. When they got there it was terrible. Tatsuya, was in full dragon form, circling, two bleeding children. Kirako ignored her wounds in order to pull the bigger glass out of Naruto's many wounds.
   'What is going on,' Shikamaru scowled. "You're so troublesome. Leave my sibling alone." He growled. Knowing his parents would back him.
   "But Nara-sama," a ninja cried. Those monsters can't be apart of a clan. Monsters and demons have no family." He cackled madly.
   The two hurt teens waited for them to join. They knew it was inevitable. At least with Shikamaru it was. Lady Nara is to much like a mother ryuu. Headstrong and overbearing yet perfect mother instincts. Shikaku Nara was a mystery to them.
   "How dare you," the Nara clan head's voice had never been so dark and evil in nature. The children flinched in fear. The civilians and ninja were happy. Soon they would learn that the children had nothing to worry about. "Those are my children. MINE. The fact that you hurt them screams that you are not fit to live." A darker, more sinister side of the normally laid back, lazy man emerged.
   "Shika," Yoshino* Nara got her son's attention. "Get your siblings and go home. I'll bring your father in a little bit." Shikamaru nodded. He may not of liked have to share his parents, but to hurt his family, new or not, was a no-no. The Nara family were possessive.
 
   (Shikaku POV)

   I am normally a lazy, laid back, not one for violence, type of man. Then the villagers and ninjas attacked my children. My children. Mine.
   'How dare they,' my shadow hissed. 'They hurt our little dragon and fox. Must die. DIE!' I knew my wife could hear what my possessive, my shadow side of my personality, was saying.
   There is a reason we can control shadows. Shadows aren't just a lack of light. They are also the darker emotions. Anger, possession, greed, hatred things of that nature. That's why Naras take a lot to provoke unless those we call our own are taken into the mix. We have to be this way or our darker emotions would over rule us and kill everything that has a shadow.
   I ripped them to shreds. The ANBU showed up but stayed out of my way. These humans, no. No humans aren't the correct word.. These demons and monsters, just like what they called my children, deserved what I was giving them.
   "Shikaku," my wife snapped. "The children are expecting us. That and if you do anymore you'll kill the ANBU." I nod still beyond being in rage.
   We quickly get home to find the children out with the deer. Shika was, grudgingly, showing them around the place, but not getting far. Both Kira and Naru were swarmed with fawn.
   Naru was content laying down against a mothering deer. Kira was trying to walk. Trying, being the key word here. The fawn kept making her sit down. One finally succeeded then proceeded to lay on her lap gently.
   "I'm fine little one," I heard her insist, but her eyes showed great pain.
   'No she isn't,' my shadow hissed sadly. 'Broken ribs, fractured fibula, so many bruises, other scrapes and many more. She must have been protecting little fox. Fawn could learn a lot from her.' I quickly send Yoshino to check Naruto and Shika. I had a feeling that she would refuse as long as they were not taken care of first
   "Kirako," she looked at me in fear. I look down to see shadows flicking the air like flames. "Ignore them. They won't harm you. You're hurt." I smile lightly as she denied it. "Come little dragon. Don't lie to me. It pains me to know you're in pain."
   "The younger come first," she whispered. I could see my first son look at her in shock. 'Looks like I have a lite spy,' I chuckly softly. Kirako looked at me questioningly. "You can quit spying Shikamaru. Come ask her the questions you want."
   He blushed a nice cherry red. "Is that normal," he pointed to a nasty, blackish/green/purple bruise on her left cheek. His finger lightly brushed it, making her flinch. In fear, pain, or both, didn't matter.
   'No child should flinch like that,' my shadow snapped the air harder around me. "Let's get you healed okay?" I say to get my mind off of what was going to happen if I kept thinking about this.
   She nodded softly. The fawn wouldn't get up so I had heal her where she was at. I look for everything as she softly answered Shikamaru's questions.
   "Yes it is normal," she sighed. "That was light one. I'm a monster Shikamaru-sama. I shouldn't have even been born." She looked at the fawn with a frown. "I was born to keep Naruto sane. Nothing more."
   "No," I finish setting her dislocated wrist that I found. "You were born to be you. Not to keep someone sane," shika scowled. "You are my older sister. I won't let you forget that."
   "Riko," Naru pounced on her back. "All better now?" She didn't flinch.
   'Is it because she trusts him?' Was only one of many questions running through mind. 'She has speed from what little I've collected from her shadow. So why not use it?'
   She was smiling with Her siblings. New and old. Her royal purple eyes flashed with content as Shikamaru slowly got closer to his new siblings.
   "For someone who hated them only a couple of hours ago," my wife softly spoke. "He sure does get along with them." I nod knowing that he would kill anyone who messed with his siblings.

(Fin pour l'instance)

* I had to look it up. I couldn't keep saying Lady Nara, and Shikaku's wife, or shika's mother. It was getting hard.
