Hey everyone. So here's reason 2. Finally got my computer back so I can work on my other story.
Hope you enjoy,
Trouble 1

Reason 2: They don't like to
"Alright Shikamaru!" Ino exclaimed at the beginning of recess the next day. "It's your turn to seek today!"
"Do I have to?" The Nara asked in a dull voice.
All six of them were sitting under the tree, well except Ino who was standing trying to get the other's moving. The day was hotter than yesterday, making the other kids lethargic, especially Shikamaru.
"Yes you do."
"I don't even like hide-n-seek."
"Why not? Is it too 'troublesome'?"
"…maybe."
"Typical," she said, shaking her head. She put her hands on her hips defiantly. "You are going to seek today Nara Shikamaru or I'll never leave you alone again!"
"Fine, you don't have to be so troublesome about it," Shikamaru said with a sigh.
"Do we have to play today?" Naruto asked, almost panting from the heat. "It's too hot."
"Yes we do. I refuse to be outsmarted by Shikamaru again!" Ino said, placing her hands on her hips. "But if you don't want to play, you don't have to."
"No, I'll play! I'll play!" he said eagerly. "Hurry up and count Shikamaru, or we'll never get started."
The Nara in question sighed before he turned around and started counting.

"Man, Shikamaru is taking a long time finding us?" Ino said from her hiding spot in the tree with Sakura.
"Yeah, I guess he's not as much of a genius as he thought," Sakura said with a chuckle. "I wonder how long he's been searching anyways."
They were both about to continue chatting when the whistle blew indicating the end of recess. They looked at each other a bit confused before climbing down.
"He hasn't found us so we won!" Ino cheered as Kiba, Naruto, and Choji appeared from their hiding spots as well. "What, he didn't find you guys either?"
"Nope, I guess he's really bad at this game," Kiba said with a chuckle. They walked towards the door but almost missed a step when they caught sight of their counting tree. Shikamaru was in the same spot as yesterday, napping the day away yet again.
"Shikamaru!" Ino exclaimed, waking the boy up yet again.
"Is recess over already?"
"Yes! And you napped all the way through it. So I guess you lost by default."
"I wouldn't say that, I found you didn't I?"
"No you didn't! We found you!"
"You weren't the seeker. It only counts if I see you, not the other way around."
"Recess is over already!"
"You never gave me a time limit," he said simply. "Guess I won again."
"…Rematch. Tomorrow!" Ino exclaimed after a moment of thought.
"Troublesome."
