Second Thought

For Shikamaru. ;)


"TAG! You're IT!"

Seven year old Shikamaru watched a young girl around his age run away from him, her tongue sticking out playfully. Naturally, his first instinct was to go after her and 'tag' her to show her who's boss.

Then he thought, 'Running is troublesome...' Shoving his hands far into his pocket, he walked away from the fuming girl.

"HEY! CHASE AFTER ME!" The girl yelled, running to stand in front of him. He sighed and took his hands out of his pockets, an idea blooming in his head. Usually, he would have gone about with his business, but he decided that this was a perfect chance to try out his new jutsu.

He did the seal as slow as possible as the girl continued to nag. Then, she abruptly stopped talking, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Shikamaru clearly saw her trying to move her arm by the looks of it, but to no avail. He walked over to her and lightly tapped her on the shoulder.

"There. You're it."


Ardenilia (did I spell that write?) suggested a Shikamaru fic, so I decided to do it.

Anyway, I'm not sure when Shikamaru learned his jutsu (damn, I forgot what it was called), but oh well.
