Act 12

I walk into the work the next day happy, for the first time since I got this job. I'm actually looking forward to work. What. The. Hell. Is wrong with me?

I walk over to my post, ignoring Sasori's stare, and returning Deidara's 'good morning' wave.

I climb up to take a seat, but someone's already sitting there.

"Hiiiii, Shika." Ino flirts coyly, on her stomach in a- brace yourself -bunny costume. Her legs are bent so her toes almost touch her hair. Despite my best efforts, I can feel blood starting to leak from my nose. I knew she was desperate, but I had not expected this proud girl to turn into a slut.

"Why the hell are you wearing that, Ino?" He asked, shocked, while stuffing paper towel bits in his nose.

'God, it's so revealing.' He thought, horrified at what he was seeing.

"Why do you think?" she said in a seductive voice.

'Great, she's still going at it.' He said, suffering in his own head.

"It's..." He said not sure what to say because he didn't want to hurt his friend, but he didn't want her to think he liked it.

'To be honest, it's goddamn sexy, but I don't think I would want Ino to be in that suit.' He thought, disgusted.

"It's... revealing." he said, trying to get out of the situation a fast as possible.

"So, you do like it!" Ino squealed.

"I never said that..." He muttered

Ino just giggled and adjusted her position so it revealed more cleavage.

'Damn would she stop already?! I have work today too!' He thought

Then Ino wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him full on the lips. His eyes widened as soon as he comprehended what happened.

Temari walked onto the pool just to see Shikamaru kissing Ino. Her face showed a look of disgust and sorrow.

'You big, lazy, good-for-nothing cheater.' she thought then went to the other side of the pool to put down her mat next to the others,

Sasori walked over to the Sand Siblings, while Temari just glared at him. She hadn't told her brothers about him.

'Sasori wouldn't do that... would he? It must've been a mistake, hopefully...' She thought.

"Hey, do you guys want to get something to eat?" Sasori asked the brothers.

"Sure! Sounds good!" the idiot replied.

"Okay, but you're going to pay..." Gaara said darkly

Both other boys gulped.

"...for the meal." Gaara finished after a bit.

They sighed.

'Geez, he's gotta stop scaring us like that' Kankuro thought, sweating.

"Hey, Temari" Sasori smiled sweetly. She looked up from her phone.

"Yes?"

"We're getting something to eat. Do you want anything?" He asked.

"Thanks, but no thanks." She said looking back at her phone.

Temari sighed as she slumped in her chair.

Meanwhile, the 3 boys were ordering fast food. Kankuro's choice. Why did they let him decide?

While the boys were busy, Sasori gave a discreet wink towards a tallish, dark haired man with black eyes that could turn to blood red. He's back. And as dangerous as ever.
