The light shines in my eyes as Shikamaru opens the blinds. "wake up sleepy head. we have a mission to go to!" wait Shikamaru"s in my house!, i thought, holy crap am i even dressed? i sprang up and pulled the blanket up over my chest and arms blush so hard my face felt like its was on fire. "Hey will you hurry up we're late so you gotta get up and get dressed! man what a drag!"
i walk out and Shikamaru was in my doorway with a muffin and my mail. "whats this?" a envelope form the team leader? i motioned for Shikamaru to sit down and opened the letter. the letter says:
"Yuki,
you need to come the arena immediately, bring any friends your with you, including Shikamaru. Its a very important mission. i will explain when you get here so hurry!"
i read it aloud and looked up at Shikamaru. his eyes are wide and he looks worried. "how did he know I'd be here? what a drag." he stood up and grabbed my arm. "come on! we have to go. your really acting weird today!"
"so are you! your usually the one who has to get tugged around! why am i the tired one and your so energetic?" shikamaru shrugged and walked out dragging me with him.
the arena was empty still. a small family of bunnies rummaged around for food. the sun wasn't up yet and it was still pretty dark out. But for some reason i felt like we weren't the only ones there. Shikamaru and i sat in the middle of the arena battle grounds. uncontrollably my eyes continued to stray over to the deadly deep holes in the ground where the twerp Naruto had pummeled Neji that so called genius from the Huga clan. a rustle sent me to my feet and your kunai knife slipped out of my sleeve into my waiting hand. Shikamaru looked up with a uncaring curiosity. "whats up?"
just as he spoke two people stepped out of the early-morning shadows. Ino and choji stepped into the now rising sunlight. "what are you guys doing out here so early!" choji was busy with his chips and ino was looking back and forth from me to Shikmaru. then i realized what she was thinking. "whoa! not even close! i mean we got a letter from Asuma sensei and immediately headed down! we got here and were worried we came to early but its warm so we wont freeze to death siting out here for a few hours. right?" i looked over at shikamaru and reliezed i was blushing and babbling.
"then where is Shikamaru's jacket or his shirt for that matter?"Ino raises her eyebrows and giggles. i peered over at shikamaru again and notice she's right. he isnt wearing his shirt or jacket.i started blushing even deeper when i gazed over his structured chest and large muscles. then i noticed hes asleep and looking happy about it. i sighed and looked to the sky s the light grew brighter.
