~Hotaru-chan Out!
When Good Plots Fail Miserably
Two Days Later:
Hotaru and Naruto had spent the last two days plotting their strategy out and had decided today was the day for Operation Shika Snoop. They got into Shikamaru's house easily the window in the second floor guest bedroom had been mysteriously broken by who know what. Dressed as a Valentina and Alejandro they made their move. "Alejandro you take the top floor and I'll take down stairs." Everything was going fine; Valentina/Hotaru had set the smoke bomb by the door and was in Shikamaru's office snooping through some papers and notebooks when she heard Alejandro/Naruto call her. "Valentina I found a journal!" Valentina/Hotaru rushed upstairs and used an illusion-replacement jutsu before shoving the journal in her Green Power Ranger backpack. "Good job Alejandro, your reward is a lollipop and purple playdoh." Valentina went back to snooping as Alejandro/Naruto sat down with his lolli making little purple ninjas.
Valentina walked into the next room and discovered Shikamaru had a minor obsession with Penguins just like she had a minor obsession with Dinosaurs. She quickly pulled out her notebook and took note, she pulled out Phillip the Velociraptor and placed him next to a Purple Penguin she named Harold and began making name tags with paper and duck tape. Twenty minutes later 22 Penguins were the proud owners of Valentina appointed names.
Penguin#1: Harold
Penguin#2: Charlie
Penguin#3: Sonya
Penguin#4: Zombie
Penguin#5: Sora
Penguin#6: Julio
Penguin#7: Carl
Penguin#8: Sally Sweet
Penguin#9: Stephanie Plum
Penguin#10: Anita Blake
Penguin#11: King Memo
Penguin#12: Sylvester
Penguin#13: Lolita
Penguin#14: Jellybean Jean
Penguin#15: Taco
Penguin#16: Waldo
Penguin#17: Sisco
Penguin#18: Lollipop Lolli
Penguin#19: Sushi
Penguin#20: Noodle
Penguin#21: BellaLuna
Penguin#22: Cat
Raptor#1: Phillip
And that's when it happened right after she attached Cat's name tag she heard the smoke bomb go off, she jumped up to run for the windows but realized the room had no windows as she was running for the doors she heard Shikamaru yell, "Shadow-Seal Jutsu!" And then the door she was running for slammed shut in her face. Alejandro/Naruto was lucky he climbed out the mysteriously broken window using the rope but Valentina wasn't so lucky she didn't have a window. Panicking she looked around for a means of an escape and found one, a panel leading into the attic. Using her ninja skills while masking her chakra she vaulted herself off the floor and climbed in closing the panel behind her, right before Shikamaru walked into the room. "What the hell?" Valentina had to bite her lip to keep her giggle in as she crawled away towards what she was hoping was the living room, meanwhile Shikamaru was walking around reading the names on the name tags out loud.
After finding no other exits from the attic, Valentina/Hotaru sat down and began building different colored Dinosaurs with her Playdoh using little bits of chakra to harden them permanently, after she finished off the Playdoh she moved on to coloring it was while she was coloring a pterodactyl she had decided to name Socrates that the crappy attic floor collapsed under her weight. So with a rather girly eep Valentina/Hotaru fell through the attic floor and landed at the foot of the stairs. She jumped up immediately shoving all the Playdoh Dinosaurs she could see into her bag and was reaching for her crayons and coloring book when Shikamaru tackled her to the floor. "Holy flying Pegasus! GET OFF ME! RAPE!" She swung her fist and collided with Shikamaru's forehead, Shikamaru in his defense pinned her arms above her head, she didn't even hesitate she pulled her head back and head butted him. While he was slightly dazed she pushed him off and jumped up. As she was running for the door, she just suddenly couldn't move. "What the fuck! Why can't I move!" Shikamaru while still holding his jutsu spoke up. "It's my shadow technique, who are you? why are you in my house? and why are you dressed like a cat?" Calming herself down because she knows her escape is impossible therefore her panic is not helpful she spoke up. "I'm Valentina, I was looking for Phillip my pet Dinosaur he walked in here and I'm a Cat this isn't a costume." Shikamaru looked flabbergasted for a second but then got this annoyed look. "Girls are so troublesome...tell me the truth or I'll burn your Dinosaur." Valentina/Hotaru snapped to attention. "NOOOO YOU CAN'T BURN PHILLIP HE'S ONLY 2! HE NEVER DID ANYTHING TO YOU!" Valentina didn't even care about her cover anymore she stopped masking her chakra and played out her newest jutsu. "Shime!" It was just a blast of her chakra to break any holds or jutsu's on her and it worked well. She quickly made the hand signs for her next jutsu, "Kurokuro-Guksuri Jutsu!" and Shikamaru fell to the floor trapped in her sleep jutsu. "He he sucker!" Valentina/Hotaru dragged Shikamaru into the kitchen and used her trusty duck tape to tape him to a chair, after she was done she went back and retrieved the rest of her Dinosaurs, grabbed her coloring book and crayons then she ran and grabbed Phillip before leaving as fast as she could.
Hotaru met Naruto at their designated rendevous point, Ichirakus by the time she got there she had already changed back into her regular clothes and the only sign of what she had done only moments before was her Power Rangers backpack and Phillip the Velociraptor sitting on the stool next to her and Naruto as they ate their Ramen. After eating three bowls of Ramen Hotaru grabbed Phillip and said her good byes to Naruto. Hotaru went home and stashed Phillip in her room and set to work copying everything in Shikamaru's journal, once she was done she dressed up one final time as Valentina and headed out. She reached Shikamaru's house ten minute later and walked in to Shikamaru sitting there looking rather bored, "Want to release me." Valentina put her finger to her lips as if seriously contemplating the theory and just smiled. "Nope." She headed up stairs took her replacement journal and put the original back. As she was leaving she asked if there was anyone who would come free him or if she should knock him out and release him. "Choji will be here soon he'll release me, you you troublesome female I will find you when I get free and then I'm going to strangle you." She laughed and then pouted. "That's not very nice, well see ya!" Hotaru left Shikamaru's and headed home she stopped on the way there and changed back into her clothes and got home at the same time as Hoshiko.
"So Firefly what have you been up to today?" Hotaru smiled her evil smile. "Ahh you know same old thing, reeking havoc upon Konaha's innocent people with Uzamaki and you?" Hoshiko laughed not believing her friends words, "Training with my team." Hotaru smiled and handed Hoshiko a Red Penguin, "His name is Marmalade he's for Shikamaru, a little birdie told me he adores Penguins so I picked this up for you." Hoshiko smiled. "Penguins how cute...kinda like you and Dinosaurs or Naruto and Ramen." Hotaru smiled brightly. "Exactly! Well gotta go my teammates are probably waiting, see you when I see you Imouto-chan!"
A/N: He he how's Shikamaru gonna react to Marmalade ^.^
