Hiya! Sorry I'm not updating much. I have finals coming up. Eep.... OO I
love the reviews! I've decided.... I'm going to keep this fic going as long
as you guys keep requesting stuff! I love getting your feedback! Yay!
DarkDemonMaster: Okay, I'm putting Kiba in here for you! (And me... nihihihihihihi)
Blue Savage: Sorry, no OCs. If I did that, I would have to let other ppl do it too. If I do another fic, maybe I'll use your OC. You can tell me more then. I'm putting Itachi in here for you.
Rurouni Gochan: I was going to use Riddle of the sphinx for my backup question. It's my favorite riddle. Thanks for the ideas!
Duochang97: You're so cool! (Gives you Rock Lee T-shirt!) Lee is actually another favorite character of mine... He and Gai probably will make a return to this story...
ROCK LEE MERCHENDISE TO ALL WHO REVIEWED!!
Disclaimer: (shifty eyes) Do I have to say it..? . . . . Fine. . . I-I don't own Naruto.... (cries) Kishimoto-sama does!! I love you Kishimoto- sama!!
When we last left off, our poor little Shikamaru-kun was having a rather odd day. Ino's birthday was tomorrow and he had yet to get her the perfect gift. During his quest he had been taken shopping for no apparent reason, seen Sasuke talking to himself about his 'prettyness', run in upon a training Lee, had an 'I love Rock lee' T-shirt offered to him by Gai, and has lunch at Ichiraku with Naruto. Afterwards, he found the perfect gift, only to be kidnapped by Gai and given lots of Rock Lee merchandise (against his will, I tell you.) He now was standing in front of the Hokage who would ask him a question that he was betting his savings on. If he got it right he would get the name of the person who bought the necklace.
"Okay, Tsunade-sama, what's the question?" Asked Shikamaru.
"It's a riddle." Tsunade corrected. Shikamaru sighed.
"Okay then, what's the riddle?"
"What has four legs in the evening, two legs in the afternoon, and three legs in the evening?" Tsunade sat back in her chair and crossed her arms, proud of her difficult question. (riddle)
Now, this question may be difficult to those who don't know their Egyptian history. Or to those who just aren't very smart. But were talking about SHIKAMARU here! Uber-intelligent ninja! The dude with an IQ of over 200! So this wasn't very hard. It took only about fifteen seconds for him to answer.
"Man"
Tsunade blinked in astonishment. "How did you figure it out?! –And so fast!!"
"It's simple." Said Shikamaru "The different times of day refer to different stages in life. Morning is when man is a baby and crawls on all fours, afternoon is when man is an adult and walks on two legs. Lastly, evening is when man is old and uses a cane as a sort of 'third leg'"
Tsunade sighed. "Okay you win, I'll tell you who bought the necklace. –But I must warn you, you may not want to go after it."
"-And why is that?" asked Shikamaru, slightly curious.
A long pause fell between the two before, at last, Tsunade spoke. "Uchiha Itachi"
Dun Dun DUN!!!
Shikamaru's eyes were wide. "Uchiha ITACHI!?!!"
"Yes. Dreadful, isn't it?"
"More like weird." Shikamaru blinked. "-Why would Itachi just stroll in here, buy a necklace, and leave? Without being. . . I don't know. . . CAPTURED OR SOMETHING?!?!"
"Calm down, Shikamaru-kun" Soothed the Fifth. "Itachi didn't do anything. Yes I suppose I could have had him arrested, but it's such a nice day... I don't want to ruin it."
Shikamaru's eye twitched. "Okay. . ." He took a deep breath to calm himself. "-Thank you, Tsunade-sama."
Tsunade put on a 'perky' face "No problem Shikamaru-kun" she smiled.
Shikamaru sighed and walked away. Today is such a troublesome day.
As Shikamaru walked along he thought of many things. He thought of where to find Itachi, he thought of how he could get the necklace back, and he thought that he was going to need help. He passed a random doughnut shop and looked in the window only to see. . . . You guessed it, Itachi. He was ordering a dozen doughnuts for the trip home. Why? Because doughnuts are yummy, baka.
'Oh crap' Thought Shikamaru. 'I found him, but I don't have anyone to help me' He frantically looked around and spotted Kiba nearby, kicking a soda machine. "Hey, Kiba!" He ran over to him.
"Oh, hey Shikamaru" Kiba said absent-mindedly. He kicked the soda machine and Akamaru barked from atop his head. "This stupid machine ate my money."
"Ah, well that sucks." Said Shikamaru. "Hey, Kiba-"
"-Dude, you ever seen Lord of the Rings?" Kiba interrupted. Shikamaru blinked.
"Yeah. . . "
"Isn't it great? I love it."
"I guess. . . . Look, Kiba, I really need your help with something" Shikamaru was slightly annoyed now. He looked back to see Itachi leaving the store, a doughnut in his mouth. "Look, it's Itachi. You know Sasuke's evil (AN: -but amazingly hot) older brother?"
Kiba nodded. "Yeah, so?"
"He has something that I need to get."
"Why?"
"BECAUSE!!" Shikamaru shouted so loud that Kiba's hood fell off, Akamaru and all. He composed himself before the slightly scared looking Kiba. "Will you help me get it"
"What is it?" Kiba asked
"A necklace" Shikamaru stated. "You probably are wondering why I need this so badly. The truth is it's-"
"THE ONE NECKLACE TO RULE THEM ALL!!!" Kiba shouted gleefully.
Shikamaru sweatdropped. "yeah, sure."
"Let's go, then!" Kiba grabbed him by the arm and took of in Itachi's general direction. The Park.
"There he is." Kiba hissed. Itachi was sitting happily on a bench in the park, eating his doughnuts. "He looks so, so, so-"
"-Innocent?" Shikamaru offered.
"-Actually I was going for evil. But innocent works too." Akamaru barked. "Shhhh! He'll hear us!"
"Okay, Kiba. I'll stop him with my Kagemane no jutsu. You get the necklace and we'll get out of here." Said Shikamaru, looking at Kiba. Or, more appropriately, where Kiba had been.
"CHAAAARRRGE!"
Oh, Kami.
So, like it? I've got major writer's block.
