*Kabocha POV*
"I'm not understanding this holiday, Kabocha." Naruto scratched the side of his head, Shikamaru sighed at my best friend. This wasn't going how I planned, I knew Naruto was slow but jeez.
"It's really not that hard to understand. All of us have clearance to go over to her village for their holiday. We get to dress up as something else, get scared, and we get sweets. It's not that hard, Naruto." Naruto scowled at Shikamaru's bored expression. When he said all of us, he was referring to him, Naruto, Choji, Ino, Neji, Lee, Sasuke, Sakura, Kiba, and Hinata. We didn't let other villages in often, but our Halloween was a special occasion. We got a lot of tourists because of it.
"Well let's go already! Bring on the sweets!" Choji cried while drooling. "It isn't until the end of the week, Choji. I wanted to tell you all today, so that you have time to pick out costumes." I laughed out as Choji pouted.
"Wh-what a-are you g-going t-to be, K-Kabocha?" Hinata questioned with a blush on her pale face. I hummed and pursed my lips in thought. I had two ideas, but I wanted whichever I chose to be a surprise. "You'll just have to wait and see!" I winked at her making her blush worsen.
"Where do we even get costumes from, Kabocha?" Sakura asked as she processed the whole situation. "Do we even have to wear costumes?" Sasuke asked looking almost as bored as Shikamaru. I knew Sasuke didn't really want to participate, but he would because I was involved.
"You all are welcome to come to my village and shop. No, Sasuke, you don't have to wear a costume." I rolled my eyes at him, Neji sighed in relief that he didn't have to wear a costume. Ino let out a loud, excited noise at the prospect of shopping in places she had never shopped before.
"I guess I better go pack then." Sasuke mumbled to himself getting up to leave. "Wait, Sasuke, I'll come with you!" Sakura called after him.
"Pack enough for two weeks!" I called after both of them just as the made it outside of the restaurant.
"Well, let's go! I'm ready to shop!" Ino cheered grabbing my wrist and tugging violently. I furrowed my eyebrows as she tried to rip my arm out of its socket. "Ino, knock it off, your being a pain. We all still have to go home, and inform our parents what's going on. We also have to pack clothes." Shikamaru gently pried my wrist away from a sulking Ino.
"I'm with Ino. Come on Akamaru!" Akamaru barked happily from atop Kiba's head. They disappeared followed quickly by Rock Lee. "I must go and pack as well! Thank you for the invitation!" He bowed to me and promptly left.
"I-I g-guess w-we should g-go ask p-permission, huh?" Hinata glanced at Neji who had his eyes peacefully closed. "You're right. Come." He said standing, and leaving with a grace that only he could exude. "C-Coming." She stutterd. She followed after him after bowing to us.
"I already know my mom and dad will be fine with everything. I'm just going home to pack, and then I'll meet you at the gate with Ino and Choji." Shikamaru explained to me, moving his grasp from my wrist to my hand. I blushed slightly, meeting his unwavering gaze.
"I'll be waiting." I said with a little bit too much innuendo. He raised an eyebrow at me as Naruto gagged. "You know what I meant!" I rolled my eyes, my blush brightening. Shikamaru smirked at me, and slid out of his seat. He began to lead a vibrating Ino and Choji out of the restaurant. They practically shoved him to get a move on.
"Just you and me now, kid. Come on, let's go grab you some clothes." I grinned at Naruto's excited face. "Alright!" He grinned back, dragging me from my seat and out of the restaurant. I think I just created a bunch of monsters.
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
"Why haven't we participated in this before? You've never brought it up in all the years we've known you." Ino questioned in wonderment as she looked around at every little thing about my village. We had traveled the full two days to my home, and it was eventful to say the least but definitely fun. Everyone was staying at the castle, much to Shosha's annoyance, since we had more than enough room. In the end only Shikamaru, Ino, Choji, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were able to attend because everyone else was on missions. I took a lot just for Lady Tsunade to even give those six permission to leave.
I hummed at Ino's question. "It actually wouldn't have been as fun when we were younger, and there was no way we could travel this far as kids. Your parents also wouldn't be able to chaperone because of duties at home...actually a lot of reasons." Ino just shrugged, too busy paying attention to the shops and foreign food. Well...foreign to her.
"Where should we go first, Sasuke!" Ino hung on one of Sasuke's arms while Sakura was attached to other. "Sasuke and I are going to a shop recommended by Kabocha." Sakura emphasis on the 'I' of her statement.
"Actually, I planned for all of us to stick together today. Everyone can do whatever tomorrow, and then the next day is Halloween. I just want you all to familiarize yourselves with my village." I said proudly as we stood to the side in the busy street. We had arrived yesterday, and rested. Today was go out and see everything together.
Ino pouted about not having alone time with Sasuke. Sakura stuck her tongue out at Ino. "We should have left them at home." Naruto mumbled to Choji who agreed quitely. Their little interaction making me laugh.
"What'd you say, Naruto!" Sakura waved her fist at him making him squeal and hide behind me. I rolled my eyes motioning for all of them to follow me. I grabbed Shikamaru's hand, pulling to get him to start walking. He fell into step beside me followed by Choji and Naruto, and then Sasuke between a bickering Ino and Sakura.
"Good afternoon, Lady Kabocha. My, you are looking lovely in your civilian clothes!" Rummy's old face greeted me happily. I smiled happily back at my favorite shop owner. "Good afternoon and thank you! These are my friends from Konoha, and this is my boyfriend, Shikamaru." I watched Shikamaru's face light up with a blush. He looked incredibly bashful yet proud to have the title.
"The famous genius that caught our fearless general's heart. A pleasure to meet you; I am simply called Rummy. I am the owner of this shop." He bowed to Shikamaru surprising everyone except me. Shikamaru's place at my side warranted him respect because he was seen as someone I considered as a future husband which was an understatement.
"Nice to meet you." Shikamaru bowed back, but not as deep. "You finally get to meet my honorary brother, Naruto Uzumaki. These are his teammates Sakura and Sasuke. These are Maru-kun's teammates Ino and Choji." I introduced everyone, and Naruto looked over the moon at what I just said about him.
"It's a pleasure to meet all of you. Any friend of my lady's is a friend of mine." He smiled at all of us. "Please feel free to look around." He waved his hand towards the large shop. I nodded motioning everyone to spread out and find what they're looking for. I immediately found what I was looking for, and went to pay for it using my discount. I didn't want anyone to see my costume and...I bought two different costumes.
'What did you just buy so fast?" Sasuke asked suddenly, trying to startle me I guess, but I heard him coming. I grinned, my fangs flashing brightly. "My costume is a surprise, Sasu." I told him in a sing-song voice. He grumbled at the childish nickname I continued to call him.
Sakura was going to be a bride...which Ino had a fit over. Ino decided to be a bunny. Which was provocative enough to irritate Sakura. Naruto decided he was going to be...me? I burst out laughing as he picked up a replica of my armor and outfit. It even had the cape that attached to my armor for formal events.
"W-why did you p-pick m-me!" I wheezed trying to stop laughing. "Your scary, so I thought why not!" Naruto grinned at me, full on teasing me. I stopped laughing and glared at him.
"Hey!" I called out at his insult, waving my hand to smack anywhere I could on him. "You two are so troublesome." Shikamaru said buying his costume.
"What did you just buy!?" I asked feeling like my face was on fire. "I bought a firefighter costume because your village it hot, and this is the only male costume with the least amount of clothing but modest." I couldn't even form words because just the mere thought of him in that costume had me extremely bothered.
"Oooooh, are you feeling okay, Kabocha?" Ino asked teasingly, actually making Sakura laugh. I snapped out of my daydream to glare at her. "I'm f-fine." I cursed my stutter as she laughed at me.
"I'm going to be a great pumpkin!" Choji grinned holding up his packaged costume. I forgot my anger and hummed looking at the evil pumpkin image on the front. "You'll be a great pumpkin, Choji." He looked incredibly pleased with my statement.
"Are you sure you don't want a costume, Sasuke?" I asked Sasuke one more time. "Yeah, no." He told me firmly, Naruto scoffed loudly at him.
"You should've already known that he wasn't going to have fun and wear a costume like the rest of us, Kabo-chan." Naruto rolled his eyes nudging me with his elbow. I immediately saw what he was trying to do, Naruto was smarter than everyone gave him credit for.
"I'm not wearing a costume." Sasuke said matter of factly. "Come on Sasuke. We've never done anything like this before!" Sakura said encouragingly, but not too pushy. Ino full on glared at her for even speaking to Sasuke.
"It's okay Sasuke you don't have to dress up. You're perfect as you are." Ino told him while leaning into him. "Just drop it, and let's go." Sasuke said making a move towards the exit. I wasn't that surprised about Sasuke, Shikamaru was the one that surprised me. I didn't expect him to dress up at all.
"Thanks for everything, Rummy. I'll see you soon!" I called out as we left the store. "Don't be a stranger!" He called in return with a wave.
"Time to eat!" Choji practically pushed me in the direction that he smelled food. I rolled my eyes in amusement and allowed him to do so. We ate at my favorite restaurant called Mountains. It was actually close to the volcano, and had a nice view without being too hot.
The next day I took them on a hot spot tour. We visited every popular place in the village from shops to restaurants to water destinations. Everyone split off into different groups for a little while before I went and found them all, so we could continue the tour. We stayed at the resort called The Oasis for quite some time eating and playing around in the water holes. The unforgiving heat dried our clothes on the way back to the castle.
The day of Halloween was starting off spectacular because everyone woke up to breakfast sweets and decorations. "Wow, this is amazing! We should have come here sooner for this!" Choji cheered eating more taiyaki filled with sweet bean paste and custard cornets. "We don't have these in our village!" I could practically feel his enjoyment as he ate to his heart's content.
"I'm right with ya' Choji!" Naruto clinked his glass with Choji. "What're you drinking, Kabocha?" I looked over at Sakura, swallowing my omelette.
"I'm drinking black tea. I know the hidden leaf doesn't have this type of tea, so feel free to try some, and if you like it take some leaves home with you." She smiled at as I handed her my cup. She sipped delicately so she wouldn't get burned.
"So?" I waited patiently for her verdict. "It's great!" She beamed at me which I returned. It really meant a lot to me that everyone was enjoying my culture.
"What're we doing today, Kabocha?" Ino inquired only giving me half of her attention. The other half of her attention was being given to Sasuke. I wasn't too offended because Shikamaru and I have been caught in our own little world often, but at least our feelings were mutual. I snickered quietly at my thoughts.
"Well the festivities don't start until sunset. Towards midnight is when teenager activities begin." I told them with a scheming smile. Shikamaru and Sasuke raised an eyebrow at me. I winked at them both, and went back to my omelette ignoring the sweets for now. We would be getting even more of them later. I did, however, look at Shikamaru's curry with a questioning look. Shikamaru caught my gaze with another swift raise of his eyebrow.
"Why're you eating curry for breakfast?" He shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "The cook said we could have whatever we wanted, and I've never had curry so I figured I'd try some." He explained splitting one of his curry buns open, potatoes and soup spilled onto his plate. I hummed at the inviting smell.
"Want some?" Shikamaru asked me making my eyes snap open to look at the piece of curry bun he was holding out towards me between his fingers. I nodded eagerly, mostly because he was going to feed me. I opened my mouth making a show of putting my tongue out, his forefinger and thumb touched my tongue gently. I closed my mouth around his two digits surprising him, I moved the tip of my tongue to cup and take the curry. I sensually glided my tongue over his fingers sucking my cheeks in and sucking his fingers, pulling back to release his now clean fingers.
He looked completely stunned, his mouth parted slightly at the little show I just gave him. I didn't realize our entire group had become quiet to watch Shikamaru and I. Shikamaru's face lit up with a bright blush, I felt incredibly accomplished that I had flustered him. However, I didn't want everyone's attention. I especially felt Sasuke's stare on my mouth.
"Oh...my...Kami! Kabocha, when did you-! How did you-!" Ino screeched killing my dragon forsaken ears. "That was…" Naruto also didn't finish his sentence looking anywhere but at me; his entire face, neck, and ears red.
"Get your mind out of the gutter you pervert." Sakura growled at Naruto knocking his head into the table effectively ending breakfast as the table split, and all of the food fell onto the floor.
"NOOOOO!" Choji cried falling to his knees holding the fallen food in his hands. I sighed in exasperation finally noticing Sasuke's gaze. He was staring blatantly at my lips, he raised his gaze to look into my eyes. He smirked, winked at me, and stood from his seat ready to leave. I rolled my eyes at his flirting.
"Kabocha…" I whipped my head around to look at Shikamaru. "Yes, Maru-kun?" I questioned tilting my head to look at his serious face.
"Come to my room later so we can talk." He told me in an even tone, but his face told a different story. Talk? Yeah. Right. I nodded at him, he helped me stand to my feet and step around a crying Choji.
"Come one girls. Let's go get ready. I'm sure it'll take all day." All of the girls agreed beginning to follow me out of the dining hall. "Meet us back here right after sunset." I called to them. Shikamaru was consoling Choji, Sasuke stood there annoyed, and Naruto was unconscious. I shook my head, and left the room with the girls in tow.
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
I was definitely right about us taking all day. We were getting ready to the very last second. I had to redo Sakura's makeup because Ino made her look like a clown. I also had to untangle Ino's hair because Sakura turned it into a rat's nest. Sakura was already sweating in her modern wedding dress, it was mermaid shaped but with heavy fabric. Ino laughed at her for almost an entire hour. Ino's boobs barely fit in the sleeveless, deep v-neck leotard. The bottom of the 'v' actually reacher her navel, so her boobs were...all in the open! The bunny ears and tail were cute though.
"Pull it together again, Ino." I told her shaking my head. She looked ready to lose it as she pulled the two pieces of thin fabric together again. "I'm not surprised Ino pig isn't fitting into her costume." Sakura whispered loudly to me, so Ino would hear. I rolled my eyes with a smile, Ino turned beet red in anger. She was just about to scream until the boys stepped into the dining hall. We were all stunned to see Sasuke in a costume.
"W-when did you e-even..?" Sakura stuttered and trailed off with a blush. Ino looked ready to pass out, and I was surprised until Shikamaru took my breath away. All of his upper body goods were on full display minus his nipples since they were covered by suspenders from his firefighter costume.
"By the dragons…" I whispered holding a hand up to cover my nose and mouth. I knew my entire body must have been beet red like Sakura and Ino. I heard Naruto let out a guffaw of laughter at my costume. "Your me!" He shouted with enjoyment, Choji was also having a good laugh.
"Yeah, yeah. We traded places tonight, Naru-nii!" I grinned at him. Shikamaru shook his head, leaning lazily on his axe. "I think Naruto got the better end of that deal." Sasuke said through the fake fangs in his mouth. They actually looked really good for props. His white top also had a deep 'v' that showed off his chest and abs. Shikamaru actually nodded in agreement with him.
"Hey!" Naruto shouted and I stuck my tongue out at him. "You look authentic." I said motioning to his fangs, armor, wrapped left arm, and cape.
"You don't look that bad either, Naruto." Naruto called me by his name making me burst into laughter, he smirked looking at the hand drawn whiskers on my face and orange jumpsuit. My second costume was for later tonight…
"Please don't call her that." Shikamaru said with a slightly disturbed expression. I laughed even harder at how uncomfortable me being called Naruto made him. I also tried not to look at Shikamaru fully again for fear of jumping his bones.
"Choji, why couldn't you pick something that wasn't going to cook you!" Ino shouted after her initial shock of Sasuke wore off. Choji looked like he was sweating his costume like Sakura.
"You look beautiful, Sakura." Naruto swooned looking at Sakura in the wedding dress. "What do you think, Sasuke?" Sakura questioned completely ignoring Naruto, I felt good when Sasuke ignored her like she did poor Naruto.
"What're we going to do now, Kabocha? More food I hope!" Choji smiled at me which I returned. I was in such a good mood with the activities, and my friends being here.
"We're going to go to the Halloween festival!" I told them happily, grasping my Maru-kun's hand I led them out and straight to the festival. Lots of kids and adults scattered around visiting various stalls.
"Wow, everything is great!" Ino said happily trying to contain her jumping for fear of her boobs falling out of her leotard. "Food!" Choji cried happily shoving past Ino to get to the source of food.
"Ugh, Choji!" Ino shouted and followed after him with a fist raised.
"Hey Sasuke, I bet you can beat you at the game over there." Naruto pointed over to egg bobbing. I couldn't contain the scrunching of my nose at that game. They were in for a rude surprise if they didn't follow the rules to a 'T'.
"I'm not putting my face in water, you idiot." Sasuke turned his nose up at the idea, but Naruto smirked widely at him. "That's fine. I knew you weren't much of a challenge anyway." Naruto shrugged clasping my free hand, and tugging me towards the egg bobbing game.
"Come on, sis!" Naruto grinned, and I allowed him to pull me along; which meant Shikamaru was pulled along with us. "Che." Sasuke scoffed before following after us.
"W-wait, your actually going to play!?" Sakura called after Sasuke. I stopped front of the stall with my Konoha companions and boyfriend. I looked at the thousand ryo reward, and rolled my eyes. Naruto wanted to play for the prize.
"Are you playing, Kabocha?" Shikamaru asked me. I kept looking forward, not wanting to look at his torso. It wasn't helping that I had never seen him shirtless either, just brief touches under his shirt.
"No, are you?" I asked him, and felt his eyes boring holes into the side of my face. "Not my kind of thing." He mumbled turning to look at Sasuke and Naruto whom were skimming the rules. This wasn't going to go well for them…
It didn't even take five minutes for everything to go horribly wrong for them, but hilariously right for me, Sakura, and Shikamaru. "Why didn't you tell us they were raw eggs!?" Naruto shouted at me, still trying to rinse his mouth out. Sasuke was also rinsing his mouth out.
"The objective is to get ten eggs, and put them in the barrel next to you without breaking the egg. You also must use your mouth. You guys did everything right except you bit down too hard." I told them with a goofy grin. "You were also supposed to read the fine print, so that's your fault not mine." Naruto waved his fist at me, and all I did was stick my tongue out at him. Sasuke was also not a happy genin.
"This wasn't as much of a drag as I thought it would be." Shikamaru told me amused by everything. "Well, let's go do more less dragging things." I told our small group, and now it was my turn to drag Maru-kun and Shikamaru. Sakura and Sasuke also tagged along instead of splitting off.
Towards the end of the night we ran into Ino and Choji. Choji had won ten thousand ryo from a hot flakes eating contest. Tears were still streaming down his face. There was another eating contest that involved baked goods; Naruto vomited everywhere, and then begged for someone to carry him to which I replied that if he was going to dress like me then he better act like me too. When we made it to the chocolate and jewels section of the festival everyone minus Shikamaru practically lost their minds.
"I've never seen any of this stuff before!" Naruto exclaimed eating more chocolate. "Your stomach is ruined, and your going to eat more...remind me to make ginger tea when we return to the castle." I shook my head in disbelief. Sakura, Sasuke, and Ino were mesmerized by the lava village's sacred jewels just sitting in the open. Dragon stones, fire stones, chocolate diamonds, and blood diamonds shown beautifully in the moonlight.
"Your village has some of the most unique jewels." Shikamaru told me nonchalantly, he was also assessing my reaction to the jewels. He was trying to see if I wanted any jewelry. I smiled shyly at him; he wasn't aware of my affinity for shiny things.
"There are only three known dragon stones. Dozens died mining them, they were burned alive, so father put an end to trying to obtain them." I looked longingly at the varied red, octagon jewel. "The dragon stones are found in the side recesses of the Shi volcano. The miners would fall into the lava below if their hooks weren't secured; which was more often than not." I babbled on feeling nervous under his scrutinizing gaze. I finally turned to look at him to notice that he was now looking at the prices on the jewels, he whistled lowly looking at the fire stones.
"Where are these found?" He questioned lightly. "They're magma rock put under four elements of ninjutsu. It's hard to get the right amount of each element dispensed onto one rock. Too much ninjutsu and the rock will be obliterated, not enough ninjutsu then the rock will turn into a clear crystal instead of the flame you see dancing inside." I told him with a fond smile.
We were only talking about jewels, but it felt so much more intimate. He hummed in thought now pointing at the various diamonds. I explained every little trinket, jewel, and pastry as he soaked up the knowledge like a sponge. "I'm glad we came to your village; to be honest...I didn't know much about your culture. That thought had bothered me for some time." He said without looking at me. He looked almost sad…
"Maru-kun…" I started to say until I heard a commotion from behind us. Naruto was throwing up again. I sighed as our moment was ruined by the squelching sound of Naruto's stomach contents hitting the ground. "We'll just talk later in your room. Would you still like me to come?" I asked with a slight tone on the word come.
"Of coarse." He said breezing by me to get to Choji and Naruto, making sure his bare skin touched me on his way by. I shivered, feeling his toned, damp body through my clothes. I was also a little damp because of hot it was in Naruto's jumpsuit.
"Ugh, disgusting! Naruto, why are you always trying to out eat Choji! Have you seen him?!" Sakura shouted ready to punch Naruto, but I wasn't going to allow it. I didn't think it was necessary to rub salt into his wounds.
"I think we should go back to your place, Kabocha." Sasuke suggested from right beside me, I guess he was trying to startle me since he came out of nowhere, but I had smelled him coming. "You're ri-"
"Great idea, Sasuke!" Ino cut me off as she cuddled up to Sasuke. Sasuke rolled his eyes in annoyance as Sakura turned her wrath from Naruto to Ino. "Let's collect them and go." Sasuke stepped around the bickering kunoichi, placing his hand on my lower back to steer me towards the boys. I allowed it because I didn't see the harm in his hand unless he went an inch lower...then he'd lose that hand.
"Come on, we're going back." I told the three of them, leaving Sasuke's side to return to Shikamaru's side. "Thank goodness." Naruto said before dry heaving again.
"Wish we could have stayed longer...man, what a drag." Shikamaru sighed thoroughly annoyed with Naruto's antics. "Its alright Maru-kun; we can have fun back at the castle." I winked at him making him blush.
"Get a room!" Sakura yelled with a smile. "Oh we plan to." I grinned wolfishly at her; both her and Ino squealed. I didn't miss the jealous, angry look Sasuke shot at Shikamaru; while Choji patted Shikamaru on the back in the form of congrats. Get a room indeed…
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
"I'm going to bathe, and I'll be right out." Shikamaru told me as I stood in the middle of the room feigning being uncomfortable. "Relax. Sit down." Shikamaru told me with a slight chuckle. I had already taken a bath, a bag of clothes by the door with my other costume in it. I was in a plain t-shirt and shorts.
He grabbed my hand, and led me to his bed. I sat down slowly staring at his sweaty, naked torso. By the dragons…
"We'll have that talk as soon as I come out of the bathroom." He smirked at me noticing my staring. The bathroom door couldn't close fast enough; I jumped to my feet and stripped to nothing. I padded over to my bag, and pulled out my geisha costume. I rubbed heated cinnamon oil into my skin before putting on the geisha outfit. I left out two layers, and only put on the sheer cover up that left almost nothing to the imagination. I slipped on lace underwear to leave some mystery.
I made my way back to his bed, crawling on his bed and resting on my knees. All of the time I spent preparing was perfect time as he emerged from the bathroom, only a towel draped lowly around his hips. I felt all of the air leave my lungs at the image he presented. Steam flowed around his form, his arms raised to towel dry his hair.
"Dragons have mercy.." I wheezed quietly to myself. I finally realized that he had stopped all movement to stare at me. Now, it was my turn to smirk at him. I motioned for him to come closer, and he did so at his usual lazy pace. I watched his eyes darken the closer he got to the bed, my heartbeat picked up as his scent hit me full force. Lust.
"You're so beautiful...a vision." He whispered after he leaned down to speak quietly to me, his voice had also dropped slightly. He straightened up, and looked down at me getting a perfect view of my cleavage; even though my breasts were almost on full display through the sheer fabric. The obi around my waist tied loosely.
He cupped the side of neck and moved that same hand down to cup my breast. I bit my lip in anticipation. My eyes darted down to the growing tent under his towel. "Can I…" I trailed off looking into his eyes shyly. He smiled reassuringly at me as I let out a shuddering breath. I reached my hand out, snatching the towel away before I lost all of my courage. I tossed the towel far behind me. His erection sprung free, and I finally understood the joke behind the black eye since his generous erection almost took my eye out. I felt saliva pool in my mouth at the sight of pre-cum dripping from the tip.
"Kabocha…" He moaned as I opened my mouth ready to taste him. Until, it all took a turn for the absolute worse.
"I heard she was going to be in here. Hey, Kabocha, remember you said to remind you about the ginger tea!" Naruto shouted coming into Shikamaru's room. I felt my entire body tense up in dread. Shikamaru was also rooted to the spot but in disbelief. Our first real sexual encounter was of course ruined by Naruto.
"MY EYES!" Naruto screamed bloody murder as he tried to find his way out of the room with his hands covering his eyes. He ran full force into the wall. "Naruto, I told you not to come in here!" Ino shouted as she entered the room as well. I jumped to stand in front of Shikamaru. It was one thing for Naruto to see him naked, but for another female to his my Maru-kun naked was out of the question.
"My, oh my!" Ino squealed in delight. I already knew we were going to hear about this incident for years to come. "Naruto, get over here." Choji said with a calm annoyance directed at Naruto. I wasn't aware that Shikamaru had planned for this night to happen, he talked about it a lot with Choji.
"What's going on!" Sakura was alarmed by all of the screaming. She assessed the messy situation, and immediately turned to Naruto. "NARUTO!" She slammed her fist into him sending him into Sasuke's room next door. Sasuke looked through hole in the wall, and caught an eye full of me. His expression changed rapidly from annoyed to shocked to pleased. Shikamaru snatched the sheet off the bed to cover me before even himself. I reached over, trying to move as little as possible, and grabbed his towel. He wrapped it around his waist, and stepped from behind me.
Everyone was arguing and causing a fuss. Our little group was loud enough to draw the attention of Shosha and Kina. "What the fuck is going on here?" Shosha seethed creating a deafening silence.
"Man, what a drag," and I couldn't help but agree with Shikamaru's catchphrase.
What an unhappy Halloween.
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Mangafreak1997: Thank you, thank you, thank you for the beautiful review! I was too excited to see everyone's reaction to her fight with Temari. Neji is being thrown into the harem! I love me some Neji! Let me know what you think about him because I'm actually considering a story for him soon. *wink wink*. Everyone is wondering what Shikamaru is thinking, soooo ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE lol! I'm going to let everyone know Maru's thoughts either next chapter or the one after that. Nothing will be the same after the invasion. Stick around for the changes! (;
Crazy Devil Girl: SPOILER ALERT! Kabocha will be keeping the dragon arm! I also laughed really hard at your review; it really made my day! That arm will be sticking around until death or someone else fucks it up lol. The arm will be included in the three year training. The arm's abilities and limits won't be seen until after the three year training. Subplot will be full throttle after Asuma dies...I really hope you already knew he died. If not I am so sorry! The wait for the invasion will be well worth it! I'll throw in a little Shikamaru POV for ya' at some point during the invasion! Always lovely to hear from one of my favorite reviewers! Thank you so much! See you Sunday! (;
RR Guest: I absolutely love you for tagging your review! I've always seen Temari as a shit talker, and Shikamaru has always been mine so I felt the ass whooping was well deserved lol. Sasuke will be having a one on one with Kabocha. SPOILER ALERT: their little one on one will cause a lot of conflict. Gaara makes her incredibly strong, and in a sense...Shikamaru makes her weak. I will also be including Shikamaru's thoughts because everyone is a little afraid of what he's thinking. You bet he wasn't happy! Thank you so much for reviewing! I can't wait to hear from you again!
Sanura Bey: Hey there Bey! Thank you so much for the review! You definitely know our girl, Kabocha! It will be a long, long, looong time before Kabocha and Temari become any form of friends. A lot of bad blood has to happen first. (; Kabocha will be fighting on the Hidden Leaf side; sooo sorry for the confusion! The Sand think that Lava is on their side. I hope you're ready for this invasion!
See you all Sunday!
