Train Wreck
Chapter 2 Little White Rabbit

With Shikamaru finally up and dressed Neji dragged him down stairs by his tie for breakfast.

"I told you I'm not hungry Neji" he whined shaking his head.

"Has your laziness sunk that low that it's too 'troublesome' to put something in your mouth and chew AND don't you dare take that out of context!" he glared at his client as he was about to interpret Neji's words to mean something dirty.

"What? I wasn't gonna say anything" Shikamaru said putting his arms up jokingly trying to defend himself from the brunette's cold glaze.

At the dinner table his chef was laying out their meal "Yo Shikamaru how can you not like my food?" he asked shocked that someone didn't share his love for quality food.

"Even you are ganging up on me Chouji che, I should fire you all" he sighed flopping himself down at the table and grabbed the T.V. remote flicking it on to see what gossip they got come up with about him today.

'Hi welcome to the morning news I'm Haku Kirino for Channel 7 News and now for some breaking news from LA - there has been reports that one of the stars of the hit action movie Broken Katana is getting engaged' the cute brunette newsreader relayed to his gossip hungry audience with the T.V. flashing to photos of Shikamaru and his two friends and fellow actors Naruto Uzumaki and Kiba Inuzuka "Live and first on the scene, like all our stories, is Zabuza Momochi, now Zabuza has there been any activity from the three of them?" the picture cut to their field reporter outside the gates of Shikamaru's mansion.

'Yeah Haku with Naruto and Kiba out of town Shikamaru is the only one left, and with a body guard like his I highly doubt he's talking to us anytime soon' Zabuza said frankly and the camera panned around to show Shikamaru's guard Baki come into the shot.

'Thanks Zabuza' Haku said as the feed cut back to the studio 'And with today being the premiere of his latest film Konoha there undoubtedly will be questions about, if he is engaged, who is this lucky lady? We have this report by Mizuki'

"Gah!!! When are they gonna leave me alone!" Shikamaru groaned chucking the remote at the screen.

"Probably never...anyway" Neji said picking the remote back up "if you don't start eating they'll start calling you anorexic as well" he flicked through the channels until he came to the business report.

"Meh!...what do they know? Troublesome little -" Shikamaru's last words were muffled as Neji shoved a spoon of rice into his open mouth.

"For once in your life can you stop being so stubborn idiot" Neji complained letting out a sigh "Temari's coming over in a few minutes so finish you're damn meal, gah! If I known you'd be this prissy in the morning I would've swapped jobs with Hinata-sama"

"Would you stop going on about how it's your damn fate to suffer because of me..." Shikamaru said wondering whether Neji was Bipolar or something 'sigh what a pain...why do I always get the agents that are mentally unstable?' he thought.

Temari rushed through the pack of paparazzi with her arms heavily laden with bags, her younger brother Kankuro just in front of her carried the heavier boxes while he barged his way through the rabid photographers and reporters ready to do anything for a story.

"MISS!!! Miss has Mr. Nara revealed who he's marrying?" one of the reporters shouted over the other questions pushing his way to the front of the pack with a cameraman recording their every move.

"No comment..." Temari stated calmly, it wasn't the rumour mill had said Shikamaru was hitched up with someone 'Sure maybe friends or a couple of dates but marriage... that's way too much commitment for Shika...' she thought glaring at the stupid press badgering the two for information.

"Sir, sir is there any information you can give us!" the girl asked shoving a microphone in Kankuro's face, he gritted his teeth wishing he could just get herd them all into a cold dark place and kill them all slowly and painfully with a his puppets.

"IS SHIKAMARU USING THIS TO QUIET HIS CRITICS WHO SAY HE'S ACTUALLY GAY?" someone screamed from the back of the surging mass of shouting reporters on the verge of crushing them.

Temari was thankful when Baki came into sight, upon seeing them the guard swiftly opened the front gates just enough for the two of them to get through and quickly locked it behind him to stop any brave paparazzi from sneaking inside the grounds.

"Thanks Baki" Kankuro whispered behind his hand closing one of his green his eyes as he smirked.

"Damn flies, they're been hanging out front since early this morning..." Baki sighed running a hand over his face.

"So what's going on?" she asked as they walked up to the heavy wooden doors of Shikamaru's mansion.

"How the hell am I meant to know? You know the Brat doesn't tell me anything Temari" Baki said swiping his I.D. card through the reader and pushed the door open "Anyway he's in the kitchen with Brat #2 last time I checked...god I need a new job".

"Awww there there Baki just think you could've been working for Naruto" Kankuro reminded him patting him on the back before running off into the dining room.

"Yeah damn kids what am I complaining about Brat #2 puts up with more crap from him than I ever would..." the middle aged man groaned shaking his head and walked back to his post.

In the dining room Neji was trying with all his mental power to telepathically explode Kankuro "Fucking get off me Kankuro!" Neji screamed getting slowly squashed by the 'I'm not Emo I just wear a lot of black' brunette man's glomp "Come I told you get the hell off me fatty!"

Kankuro jumped to feet "I am not fat! Mr. Neji 'I'm not gay I just have long hair to impress guys' Hyuuga" he sulked glaring at him, which wasn't really that affective with only one of his eyes being open at the time.

"Yeah yeah… Kankuro where's Temari I wanna get this over with quickly" Shikamaru asked getting up out of his seat...
