Visited Kurenai again. Initially, she wasn't too happy to see me. She could tell by the hour that I'd flaked out on another office day to see her. She gave me the typical "you don't have to be so overprotective, Shikamaru I can take care of myself" rant. The speech went on for about two minutes until she stopped to tell me that the baby was kicking. Without thinking, I joked that the kid already has Asuma's aggression in him. We stared at each other in silence until Kurenai burst out laughing. "Maybe so," she said. "Maybe so."
I guess you could say it was Choji Day.
