Shika 1

Blue Skies

"Heh…. that one looks like a deer." It was another clear sunny day in Konoha. The sun shone bright upon the village as small clouds darted the bright blue sky. In a grassy field not to far from Konoha a young boy could be seen sitting in the grass. He wore brown ninja garbs with a mesh net shirt under his vest…almost traditional clothing.

His hair was black and nestled into a spiky ponytail, practically nothing was abnormal about him. "Finally I can just sit down and relax, why cant everyone just slow down and enjoy things…what a bother" said the boy as he slowly began to close his eyes.

The wind blowed against the tall grass making a waving motion, it was a scene of quiet tranquility.

"Shikamaru!!!!!!!" yelled a familiar voice in the distance. The boy slowly rose up and looked around. He noticed the faint image of a large figure running towards him across the grassy plain. "Wow…. why is Chouji in such a rush…. Wait a second!!!" the boy quickly jumped up and looked at his wristwatch. "Ahhhhhhh it's 12:00 lunch time!!!" looking up from his watch the boy saw that the large figure in the distance was now only a few feet away, quickly turning in the other direction the boy jetted across the field to avoid the rolling ball of flesh known as Chouji.

"Shikamaru!!! Your gonna pay if I miss out on Asuma Sensei's Lunch stop running or else!!!" screamed Chouji as he began to gain speed on the running boy named Shikamaru.

"Why do you care so much about food!!! You don't need me to eat!!!" said Shikamaru as he jumped behind a nearby boulder and watched Chouji speed past. "Asuma Sensei wont treat me if your not their it's your victory meal for making it far in the Chunin exams!!!" yelled Chouji desperately trying to catch Shikamaru. "Fine you can stop chasing me now…huh…Hey Chouji did you hear me I said you can sto…." it was already to late, Shikamaru stepped from behind the boulder and shook his head as Chouji rammed headfirst into a giant hornets nest.

"ARRRRRRRGG" Chouji screamed in pain as hundreds of hornets chased him stinging him in unison. "Shikamaru help me!!!!" Chouji began running in Shikamaru's direction. "What a bother… why do these things always happen to me" Shikamaru groaned and quickly began forming handsigns. "SHADOW IMITATION JUTSU" within seconds Shikamaru's shadow stretched out to Chouji stopping him in his tracks.

"Ahhhhhhh What the hell are you doing Shikamaru the hornets are gonna get me!!!" chouji screamed as the hornets now circled over his head. "Relax Chouji I'll take care of this" Shikamaru stretched both his arms out, forcing Chouji to follow suit. Just as the hornets were about to start stinging Shikamaru raised his hands…. and began to swing wildly forcing Chouji to start swatting at the hornets. "This is only pissing them off…Ouch ohh Ouch oh" yelped Chouji as hornet after hornet stung him. "This well be over soon stop complaining!!!" said Shikamaru as he continued to swat at the hornets.

Four hours later…

"The BBQ restaurant is only a few feet away!!!!" Chouji ran to the door only to see Master Asuma (his sensei) and Ino ( a female ninja and one of his teammates) walking out of the restaurant.

"Hey you guys are late!!!" said Asuma as he tried to hide his laughter from Chouji who was covered in hornet stingers. "You two are really selfish for making Asuma Sensei wait for you so we decided to eat without you!!! Phhf" said Ino crossing her arms and staring directly at Shikamaru.

"Oh well…its only food, besides I wouldn't call this much of a victory lunch I gave the win to Temari so why treat me?" Shikamaru shrugged and walked away raising his hand to say goodbye to his teammates. "Well Chouji sorry I couldn't treat you…but you should really consider going to a nurse right now…come with me" said Asuma as he walked the pouting Chouji to the hospital.

"This isn't over Shikamaru you'll pay for making me miss my meal!!!!" Chouji screamed. "Pipe down you idiot it's getting late…people have to sleep soon" said Ino as she slapped Chouji across the back of his head.

"AHHHHHHH" screamed Chouji as Ino and Asuma both broke into laughter trying to calm him down. "Why do I have to be with such bothersome people…. oh well, I guess I'll go for a walk" Shikamaru chuckled to himself and began to walk home once again staring at the sky.
