Chapter 8:

Nara Yoshino

~o.O.o~

Watching them from her unseen place, Yoshino frowned. It was only a matter of time. She didn't want it to happen, but it was going to. She could tell. Just because she's dead doesn't mean anything. Having been married to Shikaku for twenty-two years lets her know things.

Yoshino can understand why Sakura is pushing, and as much as she wants Shikaku to come to terms with what the pink hair kunoichi is telling him, she knows he won't.

"Damn it Yoshino, I know!" Even the ever laidback, lazy Shikaku can lose his temper.

Yoshino sighs, sadly shaking her head at her husband. She didn't have to look at him to know he suddenly realized his mistake, but when she looked at Sakura -sweet beautiful Sakura- her heart broke for the girl. She was closing in on herself and no matter how much Yoshino wanted to slap Shikaku, it wouldn't help.

Sakura set what was in her hand on the kitchen table before turning around, leaving without another word even when Shikaku called for her.

The few brief minutes after the front door gave a deafening CLICK a sounding THUNK of a fist hitting a wall filled the suffocating silence.

"Damn it!"

Hovering just beside the table, Yoshino looked at the item- positive.

~o.O.o~


For those who don't know Yoshino is Shikamaru's mother & Shikaku's wife's real name.
