A little more lighthearted than the rest. Enjoy! - Léa
Prompt: Lollipop.
"Oh, for goodness sake, Chouji. Again?" Ino groaned, tugging at the lollipop stuck in the mop of her teammate's hair.
Chouji only grinned sheepishly in return, then winced at the sharp pain of Ino pulling at his hair.
"How troublesome." Shikamaru commented from his perch in the nearby tree, offering his opinion on the matter but not offering to help.
"So what was it this time?" Ino asked, a stern tone to her voice.
Chouji swallowed. He couldn't say that he'd fallen asleep when he was eating one the night before, allowing it to become severely tangled in his hair. Not only would he lose all respect he'd gained with his teammates, but more importantly they'd never let him have another lollipop again.
"Well…" He began, intending to make it an impressive story as possible. "I was helping this lady with her shopping, and-"
"Let me guess, a pig flew over and dropped it into your hair? Your excuses are worse than Kakashi's." Ino said. Chouji was beginning to think she sounded like his mother more and more every day.
Before Chouji could reply, Ino continued.
"Dammit," She said with another pull on his hair. "It won't budge. We'll have to cut it out."
Chouji swallowed, but before he could protest Ino had grabbed a kunai from her hip pouch and had cut away a considerable chunk from his head. Chouji watched in horror as seemingly endless strands of hair fell onto the floor. He didn't want to even begin to imagine his new bald patch.
"Now don't do it again." Ino said with an annoyed look. "I won't help you next time."
"I wouldn't let you near my hair again anyway." Chouji mumbled under his breath.
"I heard that." Ino said before turning to walk away.
Stupid sharp Yamanaka hearing.
