Collision!

A/N: This Story is dedicated to my Imouto-chan! a.k.a. Catwoman/Mon Chat/EvilRabidPlotBunny

It was a normal lazy day, and a usual Shikamaru Nara Konaha's resident genius could be found on the hill behind his home gazing at the clouds. At first glance no one would ever guess that Shikamaru was upset, extremely so, it had only been three days since Temari dumped him choosing her life as a Sand Kunoichi over her life with Shikamaru neither willing to leave their village for the other. And considering the course of events three days ago Shikamaru was surprisingly calm, at least up until Choji showed up jokingly asking when he was gonna, "marry the Sand Kunoichi?" Shikamaru usually so calm and reserved snapped, "WE'RE NOT GETTING MARRIED EVER! BECAUSE SHE LEFT ME CHOJI, TEMARI JUST UP AND LEFT ME!" After his screaming rant Shikamaru jumped up and ran, leaving behind a somewhat shocked Choji. So intent on running from his pain Shikamaru didn't notice the other chakra signature until it was to late, Shikamaru and an un-known kunoichi collided and fell from the roof tops, the kunoichi let out a rather girly eep and then threw her arms out to stop her fall, she succeeded in saving herself landing lightly and oh so gracefully on a branch, at least until Shikamaru came crashing into her taking her down with him. They landed one on top of the other and Shikamaru found himself staring down into eyes the color of night, with a look of shock and slight embarrassment. Shikamaru jumped up off the girl he'd so rudely trampled to the ground and stuck out a hand to help her up, she took it looking extremely relieved to not be on the floor anymore. "Gomenasai...uhm...he... sorry I don't know your name." Shika looked to the trampled girl expectantly. "Oh...he... it's Hoshiko, Hoshiko Nichi and you are?" Shikamaru smiled at her warmly, "I'm an idiot but you can call me Shikamaru." The girl's midnight eyes widened a little, "Shikamaru, as in Shikamaru Nara Konaha's resident genius and student of the late Asuma Sarutobi!" Shikamaru looked a little lost for a second in his thoughts and then snapped back to attention. "Ah yes that one, like I said Gomenasai Hoshiko-san, I'm sorry for trampling you I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." With that said Shikamaru bowed and set off again running to who-knows where.

Hoshiko watched as Shikamaru set off again running like he was being chased by the flames of hell itself.

Poor guy. She mused to herself. Look's like he's running from the world, avoiding everything just so he doesn't feel any pain, even if only for a moment. She quickly leapt back to the roof tops and continued on her way.

A few moments later Hoshiko found herself outside her house, she let herself in and as usual her roommate Hotaru was on the couch feet hanging over the edge book, a permanent fixture on the kunoichi's person up in front of her eyes, "Konichiwa Imouto-chan*" Hoshiko couldn't help but smile, Hotaru said hello without even looking away from her book, Hoshiko couldn't help the giggle that slipped from her lips, "Firefly don't you even want to know why I look like I fell down a flight of stairs?" Hotaru looked up from her book and flew off the couch towards the front door where Hoshiko stood, "Imouto-chan what happened to you?" Hoshiko smiled at her friend, and confidant. "Shikamaru Nara happened, he was running on the roof tops and we kind of collided and fell off." Hotaru looked contemplative for a moment and then fell over laughing like a maniac. Hoshiko looked on un-amused as her friend died on the floor, amusement gained at her expense. "Hotaru quit being a retard, it's not that funny." Hotaru jumped up from the floor where she'd fallen, "You're right, Nichi it's not funny...it's freaking hilarious, you got trampled down by Shikamaru Nara, please tell me you at least spoke to him. Tell me he knows your name right, you didn't just book it!" Hoshiko smiled, "Yes he knows my name. No I didn't run away, actually he's the one who ran away." Hotaru looked a little perplexed. "From you? Why would anyone run from you? Unless...did he kick your puppy cuz if he did then I understand running, shit even I'd run from you if I kicked Amaya accident or not." Hoshiko started laughing, "No it seemed like he was, hurt and scared, he was running from some inner demons not an actual person." Hotaru looked interested, she had that look she got when there was something she didn't know and was bound and determined to find out, that look that always spelled DISASTER for all involved. "Hotaru Kiyoshi, daughter of Akira and Emiko Kiyoshi don't you even think about it." Hotaru laughed gleefully as she made the hand signs for a teleportation jutsu. "TOOOO LATEEE!" Hoshiko sighed in defeat, mumbling out a plea even though Hotaru and her book were long gone. "Just try not to break any laws this time.

Flashback:

Hokages Office:

"Hoshiko, I expect stunts like this from ninja like Hotaru and Naruto but not you, How could you assault a respected elected official!" Hoshiko couldn't help but give Hotaru a death glare as she prepared a reply. "Hokage-sama it was never my intent to accost Ryuka-sama, this is all just a big mis-understanding." Tsunade looked at Hotaru and Naruto pointedly, "Really then please explain to me why Uzamaki is dressed like a woman and Hotaru like a naughty school girl." Hoshiko glared at her friend and her accomplice once more and finally gave up trying to save-face and told the truth. "Because Hokage-sama my sister is an idiot, a curious idiot, creative...but an idiot none-the-less." Hotaru piped in. "Hey not nice! Onee-chan!" Tsunade looked at Hotaru and told her to shut up. "Yes, Hokage-sama!" Hoshiko continued. "Hotaru couldn't tell if Ryuka-sama was gay or straight and she was bound and determined to find out, when I found out about her plan I tried to stop her and Uzamaki but it was too late, and that's when ANBU showed up, and then we ended up here and...yeah." Tsunade looked down right frightening, "Hoshiko you may leave, Kiyoshi, Uzamaki I'm not even close to finished with you two."

Hoshiko waited at home for Hotaru, she knew exactly when Tsunade was done reprimanding them because Uzamaki and Kiyoshi's screams could be heard all across Konaha.
