In which Shikamaru plots
Shikamaru was plotting.
Ever since Sasuke had inflicted that terrible pun (and even worse mental image) on him at the party three days ago, Konoha's genius had been trying to decide how best to pay the Uchiha back.
At first he had considered finding something to blackmail the other shinobi with. This idea was tempting – but to actually find Kiba's video camera, hide it well, and then somehow deal with the resulting footage without traumatizing himself for life was just too troublesome.
But he didn't know what else to do!
He sighed, head resting on his arms as he lay on his roof, watching the lovely clouds roll by. Below him, he could hear voices of the passing people.
"What are you so upset over, Ino?" Chouji's voice, interspersed with the usual chip-crunching. They were coming to see him, Shikamaru knew, but his mother would let them in.
"I'm not upset!" Ino's voice protested. "I'm just…confused! Sasuke-kun has been acting kind of weird lately, and I don't know why!"
"Is that all?" Chouji muttered, after which the sound of chip-munching increased.
"Oh, never mind!" Ino sounded exasperated. "You wouldn't understand."
They disappeared around the corner, and Shikamaru sighed, knowing Ino would probably drag him inside for their get-together.
'Sasuke-kun has been acting kind of weird lately'
A rather evil smirk slowly worked its way onto Shikamaru's face. Perfect.
He was so happy with his new plan that he rose and went back in through his open window before Ino and Chouji even got there.
Spreading bizarre rumors about Sasuke's "strange behavior" would much less troublesome – and so much fun!
TBC.
