Naruto Primer Lost Chapter: Konohamaru Trio

Heavy Sleeper

NO ONE likes Konohamaru so why we're doing a chapter dedicated to him is beyond even me.  But Konohamaru DID make a cameo in Shikamaru's "Box" chapter that was filled with plot holes.  So this is a continuation of this chapter after Konohamaru supposedly went to bed after being baby-sat by Shikamaru quite poorly.

Konohamaru sat in his bedroom after being sent off to bed by Shikamaru.  Shikamaru was a nice guy and an okay babysitter but that kid had no idea how to play Box.  It was almost 9:00 and Konohamaru had been awake for officially one half of an hour.  He could never get asleep at night if he didn't get to play a nice game of Box.

So he flung off his blankets and hopped out of bed.  He would just have to march down there and show Shikamaru who was boss by DEMANDING that they play Box for real or else he would never go to sleep.

Konohamaru crept down the stairs to find the television off.  He looked around the room for a few minutes in search of Shikamaru but couldn't find him.  So he figured he'd watch some TV past his bedtime so as he went over to the couch to sit down, he found Shikamaru lying down on it.

"I DEMAND to play Box again!" Konohamaru said.

Shikamaru didn't move.  He had his back to Konohamaru, facing the pillows.  Konohamaru frowned and started poking Shikamaru but he didn't move.  So Konohamaru climbed up on the couch and leaned over Shikamaru to find that his eyes were closed and he was currently…SLEEPING!!

Konohamaru had had a lot of babysitters in his time but never had one ever fallen asleep on him!  What was he to do now?  After pacing around for a few minutes, Konohamaru suddenly spotted his two friends' heads in the window, Moegi and Udon.  They were nodding their heads and gesturing for Konohamaru to come over and open the window so they could come in and play.

Konohamaru ran over and opened the window up.  "Sh!" said Konohamaru.  "My babysitter is sleeping!"

"Aw…we sneaked out of our houses because you had a babysitter!" said Moegi.

"Yeah, we thought we were gonna get to play Box!" said Udon.

"We will!" said Konohamaru.  "All we have to do is wake him up!"

"OKAY!!" cheered Udon and Moegi.  Udon and Moegi each had their roles in Box as well and every time Konohamaru had a babysitter, they would usually invite themselves over to play as well.  The three of them stood around the sleeping Shikamaru, the only sounds in the room being his breathing.  They looked at each other.

"What do we do?" Udon asked.

"First, the old fashion way!" said Moegi as she went over and started shaking Shikamaru slightly.  When she got no response, she started shaking him some more.  When she got no response still, Konohamaru and Udon joined in on the shaking but all were unsuccessful in their efforts.

"Well, he's a heavy sleeper!" said Konohamaru.  "We'll just have to try harder!"

"How?" Udon asked.

"Do you have your recorder?" Konohamaru asked.

Udon whipped out his horrible recorder that all small children have.  "I always have my recorder." He answered.

"Do you have your tambourine?" Konohamaru asked Moegi.

"I always have my tambourine." Moegi answered, taking it out from behind his back.

"And I have my kazoo." Konohamaru finished.  "Time for a parade!!"

They all started playing their 'instruments' as they marched around the room as loudly as they could.  After a moment of doing so, they all ran back over to Shikamaru to check if he was awake.  He hadn't even moved.

"…He's a REALLY heavy sleeper…" Konohamaru deducted.

"What do we do?" Moegi asked frantically.

"Let's push him off the couch!" said Konohamaru.

"Good idea!" said Udon.  "The shock'll wake him up!"

The three of them scaled the couch and then wedged themselves in between Shikamaru and the back of the couch.  Then, with all their might, they shoved as hard as they could to get Shikamaru off.  When they finally did, he only kind of slowly tumbled off in a very gradual fashion so there was no shock to it at all.  Unsurprisingly, he did not wake.

"He'll never wake up!" Moegi said, out of breath.

"But I want to play Box!" complained Konohamaru as he slumped down on the couch.

"Let's rest for a bit…" Udon said, lying down.  The other two agreed and they all lied down to take a rest.  After only a few moments, they were out like light bulbs.  It was WAY past their bedtimes and they had just performed a lot of physical activity.

Shikamaru opened one eye when he finally thought them to be sleeping.

"Took long enough." He said, getting up off the floor and carrying the three to bed.
