I looked. The bell in my hand, thankfully, it was real. But I still have ti get my bekl and I'm out of Chakara. What a drag.
I released the jutsu, and ran full speed for the bell, unfortantly, Sakura already had that idea. Troublesome woman. She was gaining on me.
"Wow, Shikamaru, I expected more of a challenge!" Sakura said running past me.
'Dont take the bait if its obvious!' Asuma's words to Choji from the bell test echoed in my head.
Sakura jumped and grabbed the bell only to be caught in the trap I had set.
"You really think I'm that stupid?" I asked her. And just as I knew would happen, I heard the softest footsteps.
Just as I expected, the real sakura jemped for the bell and got caught in the second trap I had set.
"You really tyghought id fall for your stupid clones?" I asked expecting anotygher to come out of nowhere. "I'm gonna end this now." I said and reached for the bell when a kunai hit me in the back.
"Looks like after all you did fall for my clones." Sakura teased from a over head tree.
The kunai had barely touched skin. Good.
"You got me. What a drag." I said standing there. "And I got you." I said as the real me stood holding her arms behind her.
"A clone!?" She shouted looking at the 'me' disappear in a poof.
"Yea. Now I say we end this, you Troublesome woman." I said tying her hands. I jumped down catiously amd grabbed my bell, quickly leaping away before the ground gave way.
I held up both bells and teased "laundry time."
-
"I'm hungry. How troublesome." I said as we walked out of the training area. "You?" I asked Sakura.
"Yeah kinda." She said.
"There's a bar down the street from my house." I said. "Well go there before we start cleaning."
"Oh, ok." She said.
It only took five ,inutes and we were at the bar. I walked in and sat in a booth, Sakura sat across from me.
"Hello, what can i get you two to drink?" The waiteress asked.
"I'll have a miller light." I said casually.
The waitress looked at Sakura "the same please." She said with a smile.
"I'll brig those rightout." The waitress said woth a smile and scurried away.
"You've gotton a lot better with the Shaddow possession Jutsu." Sakura said.
"Thanks. You've gotten a lot better with strategy. The w you used those clones was clever." I said taking a drink of the beer. It was warm. What a drag.
"Thanks, ive spent a lot of time training. By the way what are you getting to eat?" She asked
ooking through the menu.
"A burger and fries." I said closing my menu.
"Oh." She said still studying the menu.
"Do you know whay you want yet?" The waitress asked smiling.
"I'll have a burger no lettuce or tomato, fries, and a side of ranch please." I said handing her the menu.
"And for you?" She asked turning to Sakura. This was such a drag.
"I'll have burger and a salad." She said, the waitress nodded and walked away.
Just then the door opened and in walked a laughing Naruto with ino smiling next to him.
"HEY SHIKAMARU! Who's woth you? Oh hey Sakura-chan! Woah you two are on a date!?" Naruto said with a smile plastered across his face.
"what?! No!" I protested but his smile stayed showing he didnt believe me. "Agh this is such a drag!" I said putting my head in my hands.
