11:57 AM

The sparkling sunlight streamed in the wooden room making the small specks of dust shimmer as they passed by. The entire room was lit, except beneath a large, heavy green blanket made of cotton. The contents under it consisted of one sleeping mat, one pillow, and one Nara. With the time closing in on noon Shikaku walked in the room and grunted at his son while scratching at his ponytail. "Hey, Shikamaru, its time to get up. Your mom's complaining."

"Um… no." Shikamaru said groggily. The blanket twisting with him was an obvious statement. Shikamaru quickly fell back asleep leaving Shikaku to sigh and leave the room.

1:25 PM

Ino was let into Shikamaru's room to wake him up, however her anger kicked in before she actually attempted. "Shika get up! It's one-thirty! We're supposed to help Sakura at the Hokage's building!"

In response, and with a bit of fun, Shikamaru's hands came out in the form of tiger and a large shadow burst out grabbing her and forcing her to walk out. "This isn't funny Shikamaru! Hey!"

Shika than used her to shut the door pulling the shadow and his hand back under the blanket.

2:43 PM

"Nara you were supposed to help!" Sakura yelled bursting into the room with Ino on her heels. Stopping, she place her hands on her hips and waited for a retort. "Well!"

There was a still silence and than two shadows quickly flew out from the blanket forcing both out the door. "Shika!"

4:36 PM

Chouji kneeled down and poked the figure beneth the blanket questionably. "Hey, Shika, I was going to go get an early dinner want to come."

"Um…. No…" Shikamaru muttered again and rolled over lifting the blanket up a bit, "Do me a favor, tell Ino that I died."

Shikamaru lowered the blanket and fell back fast asleep. Chouji nodded and than shrugged thinking the idea wouldn't be a bad one for escaping the blond.

6:15 PM

"He's been asleep all day… I doubt…" Shikakau warned as Temari burst into his room and kicked the pallet with force. Shikamaru lifted the blanket and sighed sitting up. "Yeah, you have to wake up for me."

"I could send out a clone, but you'd be back here after you would have taken him out." Shikamaru got up and stretched. "More planning… troublesome."

"Hey you're the one who said let's do it over dinner so at least you're getting fed."

"YOU TOLD HIM TO TELL ME…. You're up? Oh…" Ino said looking at Temari who was standing there arms crossed. They immediately began giving each other glares. "You wake up for her?"

"I know how to wake teenage boys up, I have two as brothers. Have you ever waken up a 16-year-old kage? It's hard."

Temari turned to shikamaru asking if her was ready to go. "So you two…"

"Move, we have village business." Temari said shoving Ino out of her path. The sand Nin grabbed Shikaru's collar and dragged him away.

"You two are going on a date aren't you?" Ino said picking. She was quickly hit was a very large fan knocking her out of one of Shikamaru's windows. Slapping his palm to his face, Shikamaru moaned. "It's too early for crazy women problem…"

"What was that?"

"Nothing, Temari."
