Now, let's explore what's going on with the Shogi Master and the gang... Back in Castletown!
CASTLETOWN, PART I: IN THE ABSENSE OF OUR EMO PRINCE...
Fugaku Uchiha noticed the change when he entered his royal bathroom in the Castle. Their was scented towels hanging on the hooks.
Hoo boy, grumbled the Emo Prince's daddio. This could only mean one thing, and one thing only!
Itachi was home.
It was simple warning procedure thought up by Fugaku's faraway wife, Mikoto. Fugaku hasn't seen Mikoto for ten months, and didn't know her whereabouts. Last he heard of her, she was visiting her cousin in Nibelheim... But what can we do about it now?
"If Itachi's on his way, then he must be up to something," Fugaku said out loud. "Well, he'll have to deal with our substitute Prince for the time being... Unless..."
Fugaku cleared his throat, and shouted the Shogi Master's name in D Minor. "Shikamaaaaaru! Shoooogi Master! Come at once!"
Shikamaru yawned, a subscription of O Magazine in his hand.
"Yeah, what is it?"
"I have a mission for you!"
"What a drag. Right now?"
"Yes, right now! It's extremely important! Itachi's on his way home, and we must be prepared!"
Shikamaru's eyes were wide open now. "Do you mean...?"
Fugaku nodded. "That's right. We have to find her... The Legendary Emo Whisperer, Princess Temari! She's the only one that can stop that uber superemo son of mine!"
Shikamaru groaned. Not doubt he would be send on this lame-o mission.
"Can't we just hire some SeeDs?"
"What now?"
"Meh...Nevermind."
Fugaku waved his hand in the air. "Off now, Shogi Master! Princess Temari is hidden away in the Ancient Tower of Ogle-Boggle Swamp! And try to be back on time! You only have three days to complete this flamboyant quest!"
Shikamaru sighed. "I guess I'll be leaving now."
TO BE CONTINUED...?
