More ShikaKita moments Squeee. I don't own Naruto.
Kita and Shikamaru finally stopped running from the men chasing them. "You're the biggest fool." He said panting against a tree. Kita was sitting on the ground and barely looked up to glare.
"They had it coming." She said.
Shikamaru snorted. "Yeah, just like I did when you pushed me off a mountain." He said and she stared up at him and spit on the ground.
"That's bull and you know it." She said and he shrugged. "I fell and for some reason you were too dumb to realize we were on the edge." She snapped.
"Yeah right, I tried to grab your arm, but it didn't work, your fault." He said and she went red looking down. "What?" He said.
"I don't know maybe you trying to save me seems chivalrous." She said and his eyes widened. "Which makes me laugh." She said adding an unsteady giggle.
"Well then." He said turning away. "Come on we need to get to the colony." He said grumpily.
As they grumpily walked forward Kita soon grew bored. "Have you ever noticed what a funny word colony is, co-lon-y, col-ony, C O L O N Y, how would pronounce it backwards?" She said and Shikamaru's eyebrow twitched.
He smiled at her and Kita grinned back. "Have you ever noticed that you have an attention problem?" He asked and she frowned.
"Have you ever noticed you're lazy?"
"Have you ever noticed you're stupid?"
"Have you ever noticed that I'll rip your throat out?" Kita said evil glint in her eyes.
"Have you ever noticed that I'd kill…wait we're here." Shikamaru said letting out relieved sigh. "This was so troublesome."
"No really I thought is was super fun!" Kita responded sarcastically.
Shikamaru yawned and glanced around, "Tsunade set up an inn for us." He said "The Firework in Life I think it's called." He said.
"Sure it's not Fireworks in the Dark?" Kita asked pointing to the small dingy shack. Shikamaru squinted looking at the rusted metals letters. "Come on." She said impatiently dragging him forward.
"Hello." A young looking woman said flicking her long silver hair over her shoulder. "Can I help you?" She asked.
Shikamaru cut Kita before she could speak. "Yes, we have reservations under Yamada." He said and Kita sent him a glance, but played along. "Kimiko?" He asked looking at the nametag.
"I was told that the Yamada were a engaged couple." She said suspiciously at the no contact distance the two kept. Kita looked up at him with disgust and Shikamaru coughed.
"Kita is shy." He said and put his hand on her head. Kita nearly flinched, but instead smiled. Kimiko nodded and handed them a key, one key!
As soon as they were on a stairwell Kita made gagging expressions. "Engaged?" She questioned.
Shikamaru turned away slightly red. "Not my idea, Tsunade set it up, and if you had read the instruction scrolls, you'd know that. This is a surprise visit." He said.
She shrugged and they made it to room 4. Shikamaru opened it and they walked in. "Oh god." Kita said and paled. She turned to Shikamaru and he had the same look. "Get another room now." She hissed. There was one bed.
"Engaged, what do people do when engaged? They do well it." He said turning a dark red.
"I don't know what it is." She said making a face. "Plan a wedding?" And he sighed shaking his head. "Listen Kiba will…" She stopped
Shikamaru sighed. "You broke up with him right?" Shikamaru said. "Quite heartlessly." He added. Kita punched him in the stomach, but not very hard just enough to make him wince.
She sat on the bed and glared. "Realize you're sleeping on the floor." She said and Shikamaru's mouth dropped.
"Not a chance." He said and she turned eyes narrowed.
"Listen, Nara, I'm the lady here and try an be chivalrous now instead of throwing yourself off a cliff." She snapped.
"You a lady? Could've fooled me." He said and she threw pillow towards his head. "Mad because I know about you being a heartless man-killer?" He said and threw the pillow back at her.
Kita stood up and went out the door slamming it. "Going around town, sweetie." She called from the hall and Shikamaru shuddered and being referred to a 'sweetie'.

Shikamaru paced in the room. It was getting dark and she was still out? Sighing he decided to find her before she did something stupid. She meaning Kita of course maybe the queen of stupid. Coming out of the hotel he saw that the colony came alive.
Bonfires, drunks, merchants, and bars everywhere. Sighing he went to the closest one, finding it Kita-free. Kimiko was there though dancing on a table, he could miss seeing that. Ducking out of the bar he went to the next, a small fight which was surprisingly Kita-free.
Finally going into the next bar he found Kita in serious game of poker. Seeing the pile she had accumulated of random items he looked to the men she played with, one was missing a shirt, which Kita draped over her shoulder like cloak.
"Kita?" He asked venomous sweetness in his voice. "Come on give everything back." He said and her eyes snapped to his and she smirked.
"Mister, please win our things back." A man said pathetically. She glared at him and he whimpered. Shikamaru shrugged and decided to play. Fifteen minutes later he won.
Kita was good player, but to him he could read her like a book. Her eyes flicked to her left when she had bad hand, and she glared ad him when she had good one. "Give everything back." He instructed.
She pouted, but did as she was told. One man denied taking back his gold thin chain necklace claiming he didn't accept charity. "Thanks jerk." She muttered as they made it back to the hotel.
Kimiko was hanging drunkenly at the door. "Help?" She begged and Shikamaru groaned. Helping her back to her desk she smiled grabbing him by the ears and kissing full on the lips as 'Thank you' Shikamaru pulled away and looked at Kita who was laughing, holding at her sides.
Shikamaru sat in the room waiting for Kita's laughing fit to end. "Lipstick smeared." She said in-between gasps. He scowled, but rubbed at his mouth.
"I'm changing in the bathroom. Knock when you're decent." He said and trudged off. Kita stopped laughing and changed.
Knocking she waited for a response. When none came she slowly opened the door, no shower running. Stepping it she saw Shikamaru on the floor. "Nara?" She asked panicked crouching by him. Then she heard a snore. "Jerk." She said shaking him.
Shikamaru didn't wake up. Sighing she dragged him to the bend near throwing him on. Wiping her hands on her leg she glared at him. Going to the closet she found more pillows and blankets on there, and made a little place in the corner by the heater.
--
"Good morning." Kita said yawningly heavily. She was a light sleeper so at any noise she woke up, this time it was because Shikamaru was up. Shikamaru blinked then burst out laughing.
"You're hair looks awful." He said and Kita swore at him and got up rushing to the bathroom. He hair was tangled and standing on its own, something she referred to as her most endearing trait, sarcastically. Finding a comb she attacked the hair like she would an enemy.
"Hurry up!" Shikamaru said banging against the door.
Kita snorted. "Come in and make me, wimp." She said. There was no more banging.
--
Shikamaru and Kita walked awkwardly hand and hand down the more tourist friendly parts of the colony. Men, some Shikamaru recognized from the night before and some he didn't, passed with fearful eyes. "Great scared everyone from talking wit us." He said and Kita shrugged her hand fidgeting in his.
"I got enough info." She said smirking. "Town stays peaceful because some rogue ninja keeps it that way. He goes by Ryuu, another name for dragon." She said and Shikamaru sighed.
"I know what it means." He snapped and held his rumbling stomach. "Troublesome." He said. "So we have to investigate this Ryuu guy, easy enough." He said and Kita frowned.
"Not really, he has very select way of meeting and hearing other people. I met a rather drunk, who was about four people away from meeting him." She said and Shikamaru gave her a glance. "Let's eat I know a place where people keep there ears closed." She said dragging him forward.
"Here?" He asked as the fuzzy warm feeling rushed over him. It looked like his grandmother's room did when she was alive and living with his parents. Pink.
"Ah Kita." An elderly woman in pink apron said. Kita smiled as they were led to a table. "Alright to large skim milks and one order of bacon and two order of pancakes." The woman said and Shikamaru tired to protest, but Kita kicked his leg.
"Trust me that woman knows everything, so don't question." Kita said as the lady disappeared into the kitchen. "Know I got an invite from this man for a party, the one four people away, he's invited a person three people away from meeting Ryuu. So if we interest that person he'll invite us and then we must interest the man he'll invite who is two people away, then the person one away and then the person who knows Ryuu." She said and paused as the milk was delivered.
"That seems extremely difficult." He said and she gave him a glare.
"There are usually two parties a night. So really it might take three days if we're interesting." She said flipping her hair. "I've already sent Tsunade a scroll." She added.
"Fine." Shikamaru said grumpily.
--
Shikamaru stared at the mirror and then at Kita who was adjusting a dark purple wig, the hair made it to her mid-back. She adjusted her dress then scowled. "What are you staring at?" She snapped
"Where'd you get a dress?" He asked.
"I did read some of the instructions which informed us to pack something for disguise." She said frowning. "Tell anyone I will bury you personally." She said and took out lipstick.
Shikamaru himself had to where some kind of padded jacket to make him look bulkier, some cover up making him look much paler, and fake facial hair. "I rather have you bury me then try and socialize with a bunch of pathetic jerks." He said
"Just come on." Kita snapped and Shikamaru looked at her, she had dark glittery purple dress with slit to her clave and flats. He followed her as they snuck out the back of the hotel.
They stopped at remotely quick house, but two large men stood guarding the door. Kita flashed what looked like an invite and they let them pass. "You really think whoever we need to notice us will, no offense, but you're a curve-less fourteen year old, and I'm to lazy to mingle." Shikamaru said in her ear and she merely glared at him.
"There are ways to fix that." She said seeming disgusted. "Now just shut up and look interested." She said and opened a door where laughter and music barely penetrated, but they were thrown back after the door was open.
"Hi." Blonde said her curly hair bouncing as she came over. "You're cute." She said surprisingly to Kita who smiled. "What's you're name?" The woman asked. "I'm Sayuri." She said.
"I'm Aki." Kita lied and Shikamaru cleared his throat. The blonde looked at him. "Excuse my cousin, Kenji, he's dumb." She said bluntly and Sayuri giggled.
As Kita was dragged off by the woman Shikamaru was left to fend for himself. Suddenly he was in a circle of drinking men. As a drink was pressed to him he didn't fight it off, might as well enjoy it.
--
Sayuri smiled at Kita as the party cleared and handed her another invite for a party the next day. Kita took this as good sign and promised to attend, with out her 'cousin'. Later she found Shikamaru almost accepting a cigar face red.
"Come on." She said supporting him as the walked back to the hotel.
Shikamaru stared at her mouth opened. "Do I know you?" He asked and she sighed.
"I'm your worst nightmare." Kita hissed and he stared before grinning.
"You can't be girls in my dreams are never as pretty as you." He said and laughed. Suddenly all his weight was on her and he placed a wet sloppy kiss on her cheek.
"Oh sick." She said wiping off the saliva and pushed him through the back door and up to their room where he promptly passed out. "His breath is awful." She said going to the bathroom to remove all the makeup from her face.
When she was stumbled she was sure it was because she finally got out of the heels, not what she kept thinking off, the dog kiss Shikamaru planted on her.
Aw drunk Shikamaru.
