Drabble Nine: Hair (200)
Couple: ShikaIno
Ever since she heard the rumor, her hair and been the most crucial aspect of her life. She soon found herself enjoying the length of her blonde hair billowing in the breeze and the soft whisper it sang as she leapt. The silky feel of the threads as she passed her hands through it, and the happiness she felt when she combed a hundred strokes every morning.
It was soothing.
Just thinking about it caused her to run her hand through the short locks. She hadn't had time to pull it back and now she was headed towards the training grounds in order to meet her team. They hadn't seen her with her hair down. Usually, ever since the Chunin exam, she held it in a bun. Quickening her pace, she came up to the group that stood waiting. Delicately breathing heavy, she glanced over her comrades. "Sorry."
Shikamaru gave her a lazy look, "…You're late."
She balled her hand into a fist and shook it at him, "Want to say that now, you lazy good-for-nothing?"
He sighed, "No."
"Goo-"
"But you do look good with your hair down."
She was touched, "Thank you, Shikamaru."
The Chunin shrugged lethargically, "Troublesome."
