When clouds suddenly have heads
Short fic about Shikamaru and cloud watching. Slight ShikaTema
He was lying on the grass again only because soft sod beat sharp rocks by the riverbed anytime. Plus, there was plenty of shade. He enjoyed the visiting cool breezes, he decides, and he closed his eyes before opening them again, dusty brown transfixed on the white puffs above.
If he strained his eyes, he could almost see the outline of an elephant chasing a steamboat.
The boy took a solid stretch, sighing contently before continuing his game of 'guess that shape'.
He saw…a walking stick slickly whisking through the skies. If Ino was here, she'd say it was a flower. Knowing Chouji, the cloud probably looked more like meat on a stick.
He shot his gaze up again and his head rose gradually before he gasped softly, his breath escaping his lips.
Up above sprawled on brilliant blue he swore he saw the outline of a head. Four tufts of something clamped tightly on…
"Infuriating woman." Breathed him.
"Can't seem to leave me alone, huh?" He dropped his cranium back on to the grassy ground, eyelids drooping while shaking his head exasperatedly. Slowly, rough, calloused hands gripped at the green stalks as he closed his eyes once more.
Somewhere not far from the meadow, two teens sat crouching behind a bush.
"That's the worst excuse of a head ever!" A blonde girl with a long ponytail spiraling down her back hissed. "Your genjutsus suck butt!"
"Sorry Ino." A low rumbling escaped from his tummy. "I'm really hungry."
The girl mumbled something akin to "Ugh, men stink," before stomping off. The boy with the hungry stomach sighed before shooting his gaze up at the skies. A childish pout spread across his face.
"Well…it's not that bad."
Fin.
Ok, so I kind of left my other story for a bit, but it's ok 'cause I have writer's block. On a seperate note, yes I was probably high when I wrote this, no it wasn't from household cleaning products, and yes right now I'm completely and utterly bored. Can't blame a girl though; nasty thing colds are. Oh, and a review would be nice (:
