Shika was one of the laziest kids in school. He loved three things in life and lived by them. Sleeping came first no matter what, Lazing was second and third was sleeping yet again. High school was starting in one day and Shika really would rather stay home and either lounge around and sleep. There was a knock on his door and he sighed while flipping over the couch and walking to the door.
His mother beat him there she smiled and Shika heard Kiba's voice he sighed and nodded his head at his mother who took a step away then walked back down the hall, leaving Kiba and Shika alone. Kiba smiled as Shika entered the doorway, sighing as he leaned on the door frame.
"Don't you have somewhere else to be or more like somewhere else to be, or someone else to annoy?" Shika asked. Kiba just smiled and shoved his hands into his pockets and rolled back on his heels. Shika let out another sigh. "What do you want?" He asked.
"Naruto wanted to know if you wanted to hang out before you know we all go to high school." Kiba said looking down. Shika felt his lip twitch they all were going to the same high school, why the hell did Naruto want to hang out. Shika sighed shoved his hand in his pockets and walked outside closing the door behind him.
Shika walked closely behind Kiba who walked to the main gate and where Naruto, Shino, Chouji stood all laughing at something they had just missed. Shika rolled his eyes and kicked a rock that lay near his foot. Naruto wrapped his arm around Shika's shoulder smiling and pulling him close. Shika sighed and followed along as they walked away from Shika's house going to some roman stand Naruto wanted to go to.
There they met Sakura and Ino; Ino took a seat next to Shika while Sakura sat down next to Sasuke who just came. He looked as happy to be there as Shika was. He nodded his head and Shika gave a slight grunt in reply. Ino lightly touched Shika's shoulder grabbing his attention. "You don't look happy to be here Shika." She said tilting her head slightly something he'd expect to get from Kiba.
"I'm Happy." Shika a tempted a smile and failed turning away. Ino laughed to herself and joined the conversation Sakura and Sasuke were having. Shika rested more on the back of his chair and waited for his food to arrive. Naruto looked over and smiled at him, he nodded in response. So troublesome Shika thought closing his eyes momentarily.
"Um, excuse me." Shika opened his eyes he was looking at a girl from up side down. He sat up and turned around the little girl blushed slightly as Shika looked at her. "I was wondering if you had a cell phone I could borrow." She asked looking away the blush becoming redder.
"No I don't." Was all Shika said before turning back around. Ino tried to him but he jumped up and quickly moved out of the way.
"For give me friend here he doesn't have many manners. You can use mine." Shika sighed sitting back in his seat. There food came soon after and the waitress looked over at the guys lingering no Sasuke and Shika who both ignored her. She left with a sigh.
"Shika do you have manners?" Ino asked as they stood up to leave. Shika looked over at her with a sigh and then faced forward again. "Shika I asked you a question." She yelled, Shika turned back on his heels and was face to face with Ino only an inch or two kept them apart. Shika smirked and ran his finger along her cheek she flushed a light pink.
"No, and stop yelling it's really quite annoying." Shika said before turned again and walking to his house. He was the first one to be dropped off he didn't mind. Ino was mad at him and stayed far away as she could get and still be in the group. Shino walked Shika to his front door. Shika wondered then if he could even see with those glasses on. "I have a question." Shino raised an eyebrow at him. "Can you see with those glasses on?" Shino's shoulder shook slightly as if he were laughing.
"What do you think?" He asked fixing the glasses as he talked. Shika thought it over then looked Shino up and down.
"That one day I'll find out." Shino laughed and nodded his head.
"Good night Shikamaru." Shino said then turned around and walked back to the group. Shika watched him leave then walked into his house. He walked straight up stairs and finished packing. Tomorrow he would get in a car with Shino and following them would be Gaara and Kiba. They would all make there way to Konoha High school that was placed so out of the way it was pointless. They had to drive for 4 hours to get there from where there homes were placed. Shika sat on his bed and looked out the window there was nothing there, Shika sighed and turned off his lights then climbed into bed and went to sleep.
Shika's alarm went out and he quickly reached out to grab it. He changed into some fresh clothes grabbed his bed and made his way downstairs. His mother was waiting down stairs a breakfast made. She smiled at him and he just looked at her. She sighed and shook her head. "Shikamaru what am I ever going to do with you?" She asked shaking her head. Shika shrugged his shoulder and sat down looking at the food his mother made. I should think her, he thought.
"Um, Thanks" Shika said and didn't look up to see what her facial expression was. After Shika was done with breakfast as if on cue Shino knocked on the door. Shika left without saying good bye, he opened the door and Shino stared at him through those dark glasses. Shika swung the bag over his shoulder and they both walked to the car.
Gaara was driving his car and it was parked behind Shion's little green Honda. Kiba waved at Shika, who nodded his head in reply. Kiba frowned from Shika's gestured Shino gave a hm sound and got into the car Shika was quick to follow.
Shika closed his eyes as he rested his head on the seat rest. Shino glanced over at him through the think dark glasses. Shika opened one eye and looked at him. "What?" Shika asked. Shino only shook his head. Shika was glade he got pared with Shino they both knew the bliss of silence. Shika's eyes were closed but he wouldn't sleep with Shino next to him. One time he woke up with several bugs in places they shouldn't have been Shino found it very funny, Shika had problems going to the bathroom for a week.
"You can sleep, Shikamaru" Shino said in a teasing voice. Shika looked over at him. Shino was a quite one most of the time and when he talked to other people he was very calm but when with Shika he would tease him every now and them.
"Not even if I hadn't slept in a week." Shika snickered Shino laughed slightly. Shino's phone rang and he reached over and picked it up.
"Hello?" Shino asked in his calm voice. "Yeah, hold on." Shino held out phone "It's Naruto." Shika just looked at him then the phone. Shino shrugged and Shika took the phone.
"What?" Shika asked. Shika was quite for a moment and rested his head back on the seat. "Really this couldn't have waited? Listen it's in my bag so Ill give it to you when we it school." Shika said then hung up before Naruto could get another word out.
"Really Shikamaru it's nice to hang up on people." Shino said with out really caring. Shika moved his hand in the air gesturing to drop it, Shino did. Shika looked out the window and Shino had turned on the radio a while back. Shino had once brought up a conversation that was quick one.
"Do you not like silence Shino?" Shika asked looking over at him. Shino turned his head and that was the only indication that told Shika that Shino had looked over at him.
"No, I don't mind, but may I ask you a question Shikamaru?" Shino asked. Shika looked over at him.
"Shika call me Shika Shino. And sure go ahead." Shino nodded his head as if making a mental note to call him Shika now.
"Ino, likes you why not try going out with her?" Shino asked. Shika chuckled slightly and shook his head.
"First off Ino likes, Sasuke she just likes to get on my nerves. Second even if she was into me she's not my type." Shika said. Shino turned his head again telling Shika he had just glanced at him.
"And what is your type Shikam- Shika?" Shino said catching himself before he said Shika's full name.
"Well, its not her that's for damn sure, she so… troublesome." Shika said. Shino shook his head. "What's your type?" Shika asked.
"I don't have a type No one has caught my attention." Shino said. Shika only nodded his head and noticed he had to pee.
"Pull over will you; I have to go to the bathroom." Shino pulled out his phone and gave Gaara and heads up on what they were doing. Shino pulled into a as station noticing he also had to get more gas. Gaara pulled up next to him. At the other pumps. Shika got out fixing his clothes and his hair while Ship got gut and started pumping gas. Kiba followed Shika inside they both got looks from a couple of girls in the store already. Kiba went over and made nice. Shika went to the bathroom just like he said.
After he was done washing his hands he left the bathroom and was walked out to Shino's car where Kiba had taken the two girls. Shino was resting on the car still pumping; Gaara was out of sight either already in the car or in the store. One of the girls looked over at him, while blushing Shino leaned over to him.
"Is she your type?" He whispered low enough no one could hear him. Shika looked the girl over making her blushed then turned to Shino who was waiting.
"No, she isn't my type." Shika didn't keep his voice down as he answered Shino's question the girl quickly turned away and the one talking with Kiba notice what he had said and said they had to leave. Kiba turned to glare at him. "Get laid on your own time, so troublesome I swear." Shika said getting into the car.
After they had all made a trip to the bathroom and filled the cars up they were on the road again more the half way there. "Why do you want to know my type so bad?" Shika asked. Shino shrugged.
"You're a mystery Shika." He sounded like he choked on trying the short version of his name. "I want to see what's really so mysterious about you." Shino said. Shika looked over at him for a long moment.
"And here I thought we were becoming friends." Shino cracked a smiled. Something Shika new he wouldn't see often and the same went for him. Even the great Sasuke smirked Shika and Shino tried not to show anything on there faces.
"We are… friends Shikamaru. But just because we are friends does not take away the fact you are a mystery." Shika nodded his head and Shino's words.
"There is nothing mysterious about me, I like to keep to myself that's all." Shika said. Shino sighed.
They didn't talk for the rest of the car trip there but it wasn't an uncomfortable silence it was nice. They both said what they wanted and now they were done. Shika looked up at the sign that stated this was Konoha High school. They all got out and went to there dorm rooms. Shino's room was two away from Shika Lee was in the room between them.
Lee attacked Naruto and they laughed Shika cringed away from them both and went to his room closing his door. They all had an afternoon class and Shika wanted some sleep before it. He got out his clock and set it in time for him to get up and get ready.
It didn't take long for Shika to fall a sleep but his dream was a little messed up Naruto and Lee were fighting over something when Sasuke joined in telling them both to shut up. His clock went off and it was all to soon he groaned and turned off the clock fixing his hair and brushing his teeth when he walked out he ran into Gaara and Shino they all walked to there Math class together.
When they entered the room the teacher was no where to be found, Shino sat in back next to Shino and Ino. Who insisted on being next to him. She sighed rested in the back of his seat as he waited for the teacher to show his face. Rumor had it the teacher they were stuck with was new, he came in from another school. Shika waited while the rest of the class moved about and talked. Suddenly the door was kicked open making a loud noise reverberate through out the room. Everyone got to a seat and was quite.
Man middle twenty a scruffy beard and a cigarette hanging from his mouth walked in caring with him a stack of books. Shika couldn't see his face right away, the man turned his back to the class then he spoke out. "My name is Sarutobi Asuma, I'm your math teacher, when I'm talking you don't talk if you have a problem with me smoking, get the hell out of my class. Any questions?" He asked while turning around. No one answered. "Good. Let's begin." Shika rested his head in his hands.
"What a drag." Shika muttered.
