Tenten (Crack) Pairings Plot Bunny Collection
A Naruto Plot Bunny Collection
By: GoldenDragonClouds

Author's Note (the first and last that will be at the beginning of the page):

I give up! I have way too many drabble-sized "fics" in my yet-unpublished folder that I've nearly given up on trying to make into an actual fic. I'll be uploading them one by one, every single drabble, fic, and idea blob. Depending on the reaction these might evolve into fully-fledged fics. Perhaps. Maybe. Might.

...

Also because I'm a shameless Tenten fangirl.

Here we go.


1. Talking Shougi
Pairing: Tenten/Shikamaru

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.


Talking Shougi

They'd bonded over shogi.

It was weird, because Tenten almost never played board games, never planned ahead, and was on the loudest, rashest team in the village while Shikamaru was quiet and laid back, but quickly becoming the king of all things intellectual and analytical.

One day during another of her frequent diplomatic visits to Konoha, Temari had all but dragged Tenten over to the Nara Clan Compound when the two rivals and unofficial best friends had found each other during a mutual free time. The two girls had jumped right into a shogi game Shikamaru had just started to set up for himself, and one thing led to another and ever since then it had become a tradition for Tenten and Shikamaru to meet up for shogi and maybe cloud watching every Saturday afternoon at 1300 hours.

"And," Shikamaru had admitted to Chouji, "she's actually not all that troublesome." Ino, who had been eavesdropping, winked suggestively at him. Shikamaru only raised an eyebrow at her, used to her antics.

Of course, being used to her antics hadn't prepared him for the amount of badgering Ino would have in store about the nonexistent relationship between him and Tenten. Luckily she hadn't brought it up to her kunoichi friends yet - Shikamaru knew that he would already be dead by the hands of one Hyuga Neji if that had been the case.
