"Tsunade, a word?"
"I'm a little busy at the moment, Shikaku…" Absentmindedly rummaging through the files on her desk, the blonde didn't even look up.
"Now please, Tsunade. Whatever you got there, it can wait," Frowning, he gestured to Genma and Raidou standing before the desk, "You guys will have to come back later. And Shizune, I need you out of here as well."
As the three quickly did as requested, Tsunade frowned, "Oy, did I tell you you could leave?"
"I'm sorry Lady Hokage," An apologetic but at the same time cheeky smile spread over Genma's face, "But Shikaku is scarier…" The senbon betwixt his lips wiggled a little as the man suppressed a chuckle, and then they were gone. Shizune closed the door behind them and Shikaku immediately walked over to lock it.
Frowning even deeper, she watched as her friend approached the desk. There was something in the way Shikaku moved that told her that this was beyond serious for the guy. But only for him. Not the village. This was personal.
Placing his hands on the edge of the desk, Shikaku leaned over to bring his face close to Tsunade's, "Listen very carefully, Tsunade. This is important, and I'm only ever going to say it once. You ready?"
Her mouth suddenly dry, the blonde nodded mutely. There was a grave tone in Shikaku's voice, a seriousness in his eyes that almost scared her. A few seconds long, they simply stared at each other. Then, Shikaku leaned even closer, whispering in her ear.
"I just walked in on my son and Kakashi Hatake, making out on the man's bed. Pretty sure they didn't appreciate that very much, but I for one, couldn't be happier right now…" Pulling back again, a small smile played around the Nara's lips and there was a twinkle in his eye that hadn't been there in a long time.
Tsunade's words were a breathless whisper, "Are you kidding me…?"
"Nope," Chuckling, he crossed his arms. But then, Shikaku suddenly turned serious again, "Kakashi needs you."
