-AN: Um...Ta-da? *Gets hit with a rotten tomato* Bleh...anyway. For all the people who are following this "story" (not much ofa story if it only has two chapters eh?), I'm really sorry that I haven't updated this in so long. I feel bad about that. So I buckled down and brain stormed and I came up with some pretty good ideas for this story (If I do say so myself). I hope that there aren't a whole bunch of spelling or gramatic errors in here...If there are, feel free to point them out I guess. And...yes I did make up one or two words, but you should easily be able to get it (I mean...I think I just added "ly"). ANYWAY, before I write this longer than the chapter, Enjoy!- BE AWARE OF THE CHANGE OF VIEW POINT!...thank you.

My eyes fluttered open slowly "Nnngh…wha…what happened?" I groaned looking around, but all I saw was blackness. "Huh? Where am I…" I tried to move my right arm but realized that it wasn't there. I tried to move other appendages that felt like they were there, but that failed too. "Why can't I move?" I thought aloud. Then it dawned on me "I must still be in the fucking hole." I groaned. Why would he take the trouble of digging me up if he was just going to fucking bury my again? "Nooo," I moaned morbidly "Jashin-sama!" I cried raspily, my throat extremely horse. I'm so fucking thirsty!

"Quite." came a voice from above me, hissing at me angrily "You'll ruin everything." they said as light flooded into where I was, and it fucking hurt.

"Oww! The fuck!" I groaned squeezing my eyes shut tightly. I've been living like a fucking mole for so fucking long. It was like the sun just got shoved into my fucking eyes.

"I said be quite!" the person whispered harshly. Then something hit me on the head, hard.

"Ow!" I whined "The fuck is your problem!"

"Be quite!" The person growled and then they cut off the light, granting me darkness once again, thank Jashin.

"Shikamaru?" Came a muffled voice in the distance along with a soft knocking.

The person, who must be Shikamaru -the fucker, next time he tries to hit me I'm gonna chomp his fucking hand off I swear to Jashin - sighed angrily then lifted up what I suspect to be some sort of curtain, successfully blinding me yet again. "If you even make a sound, you won't have a mouth to talk with." he threatened then dropped the curtain the darkness gracing my sore eyes again.

-Shikamaru's POV-

I stood up from next to my bed and walked slowly over to the door…I so did not need this right now…what a pain. "Yeah?" I asked standing next to the door trying to sound tired so that they wouldn't suspect that I was doing anything…out of the ordinary.

"Are you ok? I thought I heard something."

I sighed and opened the door. Just like her to freak out over nothing. Wait…well this is something…but…ah forget it, I'm not even going to try to think right now, "Yeah, I'm fine." I mumbled running a hand through my hair.

"Are you sure?" My mom asked looking at me worriedly

"You seem sorta roughed up." My dad mumbled walking up next to mom yawning and scratching the back of his head.

"Yeah," mom said looking me over "Are you…" she paused a moment, "Are you…still beating yourself up about what happened?" she asked more softly looking at me with concern etched into her features. "You know…with Asuma?"

"Mom, I…" I trailed off slowly and ended up looking down at the ground. It's not like I couldn't talk about it or anything. Maybe…no…It just…felt weird, talking about that, when the person who caused it is less then five feet behind me.

Mom who obviously didn't know this frowned and placed her hand on my shoulder "Shikamaru, I'm sorry." she murmured "Did I…did up something I shouldn't have?"

I suppressed a bubble of laughter that weld up in my throat. Hah 'dig up', if only she knew how ironic that was. If that's not ironic, then I don't know what is. I shook my head and looked up at her with my normal lazy expression "No, it's fine Mom." I mumbled pushing back a stand of hair that escaped from my pony tail. "You didn't dig up anything." you didn't, I did. I'm the one…maybe I…

"Are you sure?" she asked continuing to looks at me worriedly "We thought we heard something."

I began to make up the best excuse that I could muster with only a third of my brain capacity when my mom suddenly moved forward and hugged me tightly. "It's ok Shikamaru, you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to."

"What? Mom, I-"

"No, no." She said and ran her hand through my hair making more hair fall from the pony tail to accompany the other set from earlier at the sides of my head, one or two in front of my eyes.

"I know it's hard to adjust to this. It hasn't really been that long either." She looked over at dad irritatedly, "I know that your father can be a little…insensitive sometimes."

Dad made a face and I couldn't help but smile slightly in spite of myself. Mom's worried expression also eased and a soft smile formed on her face.

"Anyway," She said pulling back from the hug. "Don't worry." She said patting my shoulder "And if you need anything you can ask me or Dad ok?"

I nodded "Uh-huh." I said yawning. Sure it was a fake yawn, but I wanted to get this over with.

"Oh, you must be tired." Mom said and glanced over at a clock. Heh, well that worked nicely.

Dad did the same, "Hn, you sure picked a great time to have a episode or whatever…it's pretty much morning now…and there's no way you're mom's gonna let me go back to sleep." he grumbled scratching the back of his head.

Mom looked over at dad with slight disapproval in her eyes. "Well, you don't need as much sleep as Shikamaru." She said then looked at me and grabbed my shoulders and turned me around. Wow, she's rarely on the side of me getting me sleep. Hah, things are looking up. "You have a mission today right Shikamaru? I'll wake you up a bit before you have to go so that I can make you something to eat before you have to leave." She said and nudged me forward into my room. "You can just sleep until then."

"Heh, alright then." I said yawning, a real one this time. Turns out that digging up the body of a lunatic that killed your sensei and dragging them back home really wears you out. That or all this talk of sleep is making me sleepy…whichever, heh, guess I'm going to develop a weird sense of humor throughout this whole thing.

I walked over to my bed and plopped down on top of it happily letting my head sink into the pillows

"I'll see you later Shikamaru." Mom said and then shut the door. There was some soft grumbling - that would be dad complaining - which was followed by a higher murmuring -and that would be mom-. I couldn't make out what they were saying, I was getting more and more tired by the second. I could barely keep my eyes open. The grumbling and murmuring slowly faded away as they walked down the hall to the kitchen. I yawned and closed my eyes slowly, slowly beginning to fall asleep. I was almost asleep when there was a soft whistling from under the bed. "Forgetting someone?" Came the annoying zealots voice.

My eyes opened unwillingly at the sound. I really didn't want to deal with him right at this second. What a pain in the neck. "No, I'm not." I grumbled closing me eyes.

"I see." he said "Well then, you wouldn't mind if I started fucking shouting right?" I heard him take a deep breath.

My eyes widened and I quickly did some hand signs and made a shadow go under the bed and stuff itself into Hidan's mouth, silencing him. He grunted in pain but that's about all he could get out thankfully. I unwillingly got up off of my bed and pulled some duct tape from out of my bed side table. Crouching down next to the bed I lifted the bed skirt with much distaste from Hidan. "Tch, what do you think you are? A mole?" I reached under the bed and grabbed a handful of his hair and pulled him closer to me. Ripping off of piece of tape I happily put it over the Jashinist's mouth. Oh the wonder that is duct tape. I ripped off some more and put them over each other at slightly different angels to reinforce the others. No way in hell am I going to let there be a chance that the tape falls off and he screams his lungs out. "Ta-da." I yawned sleepily pushing him back under the bed to where he was before, Hidan glaring at me the whole time. "Mm, time for some long awaited sleep." I murmured getting back onto the bed, closing my eyes and instantly falling asleep... I'll deal with the lunatic under my bed later.
