The Not-Exactly-Welcomed-Gift
There weren't many things that phased the Wind Witch of Sunagakure. 25-1 odds? Meh. Red-headed chicks that are in an alliance with a pedo half-snake dude who also happened to give said red-head creepier powers? Yawn. But this.
This was something else entirely.
Staring at the package wrapped in a god awful neon purple, green and ORANGE wrapping paper, she can't help but feel irrational fear swirling in her gut. The fact that there was a seal designed to cause an explosion if the present wasn't opened within a certain time didn't help at all.
"What are you waiting for woman? Just open the damn thing." Her companion says lazily, giving her a deadpan look.
Glaring daggers at him, she throws the box at his head, wincing as its contents rattle inside of it when he catches it. "No. Way. In. HELL." She hisses. "That thing came from the Uzumaki, and there's NO WAY that I'll trust it's contents."
Shikamaru snorts, and regards the box with a bored expression. However, Temari doesn't miss the apprehensive look that's in his eyes. "It can't be that bad." He mutters, tearing off the wrapping paper and opening the box inside.
There's a dead silence as the two of them stare at the content before the meaning behind the 'gift' registers in their minds.
The screech of "IM GOING TO KILL THAT UZUMAKI" isn't missed by a single person in Konoha. Though, judging by the tone, everyone realizes that a certain ramen loving ninja will simply be faced with the wrath of another of his prankees in retaliation to one of his pranks. Nothing too concerning, right?
At the moment, said ninja was training with his team. Upon hearing the screech, Sai gave him a quizzical look while Sakura just shook her head disapprovingly.
"What did you do this time?" She asks, exasperation clear in her voice.
Snickering to himself, Naruto grins cheekily as he wags his eyebrows up and down suggestively. "Let's just say I gifted Shikamaru and Temari a certain citrus fruit. Thought they could use some inspiration, ya know?"
Sakura shrieks angrily as she realizes what he gave them and begins chasing him around the area screaming threats to pummel him to death. Sai however is utterly confused.
Meanwhile, Shikamaru's faced by the near impossible task of calming Temari down, and stopping her from using Dai Kamaitachi no Jutsu on the (not so) innocent lemon that is currently nestled inside the gift box.
