Warning: Tiny tiny tiny tiny musing of Asuma/Kurenai
~
It's so cold out today. Asuma had cancelled our training today because he made up some excuse about a meeting. All I know is, when he started going out with Kurenai, he lost it. He cancelled our missions and training. . .I wonder what team eight is doing right now. But it was no problem for me. Training was troublesome anyways. A waste of time. It was actually /good/ that he cancelled practice because I wouldn't have to put up with all the work. But now I had nothing to do. . .
I walked through the forest quietly, and it only got colder. I shivered and pulled my hands onto my arms to warm myself up, but to no avail. Coming to the forest. . .I was doing a lot of that now. I couldn't get Ino out of my head. She was haunting me everywhere I went!
And she still had my photo. I forgot to get it back from her. . .but what's she going to do with it.
I don't want to even think about what she'll do with it.
I glanced around before I caught sight of a figure deeper into the forest. Again? I was seeing people again?
When she called to me, I had to answer back.
"Hey, Shika-kun! What are you doing here?" a female voice called to me.
"Ah. . .Ino."
Her lips were twisted in a confused smile.
"I was just walking by." Her hand grazed onto her opposite arm, running it up and down. So, she was cold too. I wouldn't blame her, she wasn't wearing anything to actually protect her from the cold.
"Yeah, same I guess. . ."
She started walking, and I did too, to the middle of nowhere. We were both just like two people trying to find our way out of the cold. She started running circles around me and I cocked an eyebrow at her.
"What are you doing, Ino?"
"Trying to exercise the cold away." She said in between pants. "It's working! C'mon, try it!"
"No thanks. . .I brought a jacket." Ino laughed and started jogging. A small chuckle escaped my lips.
Suddenly, she stopped jogging and I ran ahead to catch up to her.
"Ino, what is it?"
"Look. . .the water's frozen cold. . ."she mused, staring at the pond. Or atleast, where the pond used to be.
It was frozen solid now. Ino's mouth curved into a smile and she laughed brightly. "This is so cool!"
"Yeah. . .it's something. . ." When I looked back at the pool, Ino was in the middle, sliding all over the surface. "Ino! What are you doing?" I called.
"That just sounds all too familiar." Ino laughed.
"Ino! Get off, you could fall in." I said calmly.
"Oh, Shika, stop worrying. Get on! It's fun!" Ino taunted. I grumbled and slipped onto the cold frozen pond, the touch froze my fingers numb.
"Forget it, I'm getting off. . ." I muttered. Suddenly, Ino slipped on the ice and a small crack came from the ice.
"Ino!" I ran over to her quickly and pushed her off. "Ino, are you ok?"
"Haha, Shikamaru, I told you I'd get you on."
Ino was smarter than I thought. "Ino! You scared me!"
"You were. . .worried about me" Ino smiled brightly at me. My cheeks. . .were suddenly very hot. Until I noticed it was still so cold out. Ino sneezed.
"Ino. . .you're sick." Ino nodded. "C'mon, let's go back." I got up and offered my hand to her to help her up. She took it graciously before sneezing again. I sighed and took off my jacket willingly. "Here, Ino, take my jacket." She looked at me hesitantly. "Well? Take it!"
"Shikamaru, it's cold out and. . ."
"It's not a problem, Ino, really." Ino looked at me dazed and smiled, taking my jacket. I helped her get it on her back. She looked a little weird, wearing my jacket that was too big for her, but it just made her look more adorable. I'd been having these kind of thoughts all the time, now. I didn't even want to try not thinking about it anymore because it was no use. We walked back to her house.
"Thank you, Shikamaru. . ." Ino murmured slowly to me. I turned to her, surprised.
"Um. . .your welcome. . ." We reached her house, suddenly all too fast. For a moment, I wished that her house was moving farther away, but it wasn't.
"Well, here's my house. . ." she said shyly. "Oh! I forgot. . ." She started tacking off my jacket before I stopped her.
"Nah, return it later." She stopped and gleamed at me.
"You know, Ino, you're the first girl who's not a waste of my time."
". . ."
I smiled sincerely at her before leaving. I couldn't tell if she was looking at me or not. . .but. . .now she had my jacket /and/ my photo. I hit my head, annoying. She got away with both of my things! I stopped when I got to my house. It was still so cold out. . .but I wasn't cold anymore. . .
