Chapter 2, Seeing Sai
Shikamaru walked out of the prison after 5 years, a free man.
A few hours later, Shikamaru walked into into a casino, going up the esclater, cleaned up and dressed in a green vest. He walked past the slots machines and various card tables, looking for a cirtian someone. Finally spotting him talking to a customer, Shikamaru sat down at the table closest to where he was talking.
"Chips please." Shikamaru said, throwing down a few bills.
"Sure." The dealer said. "Change 150 would you like quaters or nickles."
"Quaters." Shikamaru responded, messing with the wedding band on his finger and looking up at the man he had been looking for. He was a big guy with spiky brown hair and wearing a casino uniform. Spotting Shikamaru, he quickly wrapped up his business and made his way over.
"20, dealer has 19." The dealer at Shikamaru's table said. "Good start."
"Whatever." Shikamaru said with a shrug. The dealer wrinkled her noise and was releved when she saw one of her coworkers coming over to take her place.
"Going on break now." She said. Shikamaru just responded with a yawn. "Have fun." She muttered to her replacement.
"You have a good one." The man said. "How you doin' tonight sir?"
"Hey Choji." Shikamaru said. The dealer froze and eyed Shikamaru wearily.
"I'm sorry sir, but you have me confused with someone else. My name's Sai, as you can see." He said, tapping his name-tag. Shikamaru looked at him up and down.
"Whatever." He said finally. "Waisting my time here anyway."
"You might want to try the lounge at the Ceisors." 'Sai' recomended. "They start their Korean Barbicue Buffet at around 1:00."
"1:00, huh?" Shikamaru said. 'Sai' nodded. "I'll look into it, thanks."
"Thank you." 'Sai' said as Shikamaru walked off.
As 1:00 rolled around, Shikamaru was sitting at a table, reading over a news paper article about 2 casino owners, one who was taking over the land of a casino, and the other who was loosing the land and the casino.
"Checking up on current events?" 'Sai' said sitting down across from Shikamaru.
"Sai." Shikamaru said.
"Please to meet you. Choji Akimichi can't get past the gaming board." Choji explained. "You just got out?"
"This afternoon." Shikamaru said, giving his old friend a genuine smile. "You seen her?" Choji scoffed.
"Last I heard she was teaching Jonin how to play cards." Choji said casually, then quickly eyed Shikamaru suspisiously. "Why, you got something in mind already?"
"You kidding, I just became a citizen again." Shikamaru said slyly. But he knew that Choji knew the truth, and that no matter what it was, he was in.
A while later, Shikamaru stood by a phone booth, making a call.
"What a drag." He muttered as the phone rang.
"Hello." The voice on the other end said. "Brooks speaking."
"Officer Brooks, this is Shikamaru Nara, I was told to contact you within 24 hours." Shikamaru said.
"Yes Mr. Nara, well good job. Now you havn't been getting into trouble?"
"No." Shikamaru said. "And before you ask I haven't been drinking either." This was however, a lie as he could still taste the saki he had had while he was with Choji.
"And you don't plan on leaving the area do you?" Brooks asked.
"No sir." Shikamaru lied. "Of corse not."
Read and review, and I'm taking guesses on who the else will be in on this. I'll already tell you that Ino will be plaing the Rusty Role, Naruto as Lines, Sasuke as Benidict, and Tamari as Tess, but you are all free to guess who else will be who. Also, for those of you who don't know, I made a little preview of this in my other story, Kim Possible Rangers in the middle of chapter 10 if you want to look at that.
