Are You Happy?
"What a drag!" he pouted as we walked down the old path, our path, in the woods.
"Oh, shut up. We got away didn't we?" I was trying to be a little flirty and have him look on the bright side for once, which was unlikely. "Easy for you to say; you don't have to go back there!" the subtle sting in his voice, well, stung a little. Correction, it is impossible to get him to look on the bright side.
He let out a sigh and said, "This is so inconvenient. Tch. Getting into cat fights is in that girl's blood!"
Shikamaru and Temari walked in silence for awhile both pondering the events that had taken place earlier that day. Both remembered what Shikamaru's teammate, Ino Yamanaka, had said. Temari had a new least favorite person.
*30 minutes prior*
"So…what's your sensei's name again?" I asked, blushing because he had already told me twelve times. "His name is Sarutobi Asuma." He rolled his eyes but gave me that smirk that gives me butterflies. As we grew nearer, my nerves started to get to me. I turned to him, and by his expression, knew how worried I must look. "What if they get suspicious?" His brows furrowed and a frown drew out on his face, which kind of made me sad. "Why would they? I am your escort and just wanted you to meet some Leaf ninja formally. Nothing to suspect." He had obviously already analyzed all the possibilities and likely outcomes of this situation, so it should be fine. "Okay, let's go."
I introduced myself, smiled, bowed to his sensei, and all seemed well. All seemed well until his sensei had to leave and Shikamaru went to talk to his friend Choji. By default I was left with his little purple friend with the ponytail.
"So you and Shikamaru are pretty close, huh?" she whipped out the question as fast a Gaara could kill a man. I had no time to come up with the composure to say the answer I planned on if the question was asked with any believability. "No, he is just my escort around the village, but he wanted me to meet you guys." I don't know why he would ever think I would want to meet you, I thought.
She had a tone to her voice that was so irritating. Oh great, Shika is rubbing off on me.
"Suuuure you are. Listen up fan-girl, you might think you're hot stuff but you're not. I've worked to hard to get Shikamaru to notice me. And now that Sasuke has gone psychotic and I've let my Shika wait long enough to get unbearable jealous and see how hot I am, it's time to make my move. This is what I have been planning since I was 13, and don't think I'm about to let some little wanna-be ninja steal him at the last minute!"
This chick could talk. But that wanna-be comment was over the top. I'm done with this nice girl routine and I officially hate her. She was not gunna get away with that trash talk! Putting my hand on my giant folding fan, ready to pull it for a fight, I said:
"Bite me Bambi! I could take you down any day!"
