Chapter 4
Shikamaru was laying under his favorite tree, half awake staring at the clouds. "Fluffy... so very fluffy..." Ino sat down next to him, with a lap full of flowers.
"What do you think of these flowers?"
"They're cool"
"You didn't even look at them."
"Hn"
Ino sighed. 'Who in their right mind wouldn't be interested in different types of wildflowers? This guy is hopeless.'
Sating off far in the distance, she saw a blonde kid running towards tem, 'Oh no, he's coming this way. He's so annoying.'
Naruto was about to run right past the pair when Ino screeched "Don't stop and bother us Naruto, we're really busy and your annoying so just keep running."
Of course that make him stop in his tracks. "Well, I bet then you don't want to hear about this sweet new jutsu I've been trying out on everyone. Shikamaru bothered to tun his head around so he could look at Naruto, You just had to keep your guard up around this hyperactive kid. "It's called animal personality jutsu. So far I've turned Choji into a beaver, Lee into a squirrel, Hinata into the world's cwutest bunny wabbit, and Neji into a huge lizard thingy."
"And your still alive, huh? Shikamaru sighed, disappointed.
"Oh course, because it's totally harmless, and you turn into the animal that best matches your personalty. "
"Oh, try me!"
"Ino, are you nuts?" Shikamaru propped himself up on his side.
"Well, won't I turn into something be-utiful? Like a unicorn?"
Shikamaru gave her an 'are-you-retarded' look and flopped back down, what was the point anyway?
Naruto grinned maliciously and made the hand signs. "Animal personality jutsu!"
POOF!
"See, what did I tell you Shikamaru? Be-utiful long shiny blonde hair, uh long tail, uh..."
"Look in the lake, Ino" Naruto giggled.
She walked over to the water's edge and looked at her reflection.
"I'm a dog! Ahhhhh! Naruto, I'm gonna kill you!" She had been turned into an afghan hound. She made a dash for him but kept tripping over her hair, or rather, her fur. "Shikamaru, help me beat him up, I cant.." she frantically asked, tripping again.
Shikamaru groaned and made like he was going to get up.
"Animal personality jutsu!"
POOF!
"Oh, crud." Naruto's eyes got big, and his jaw dropped.
Shikamaru had turned into a cougar, The big cat blinked a few times, looking at himself. Glaring at Naruto, he almost got up, but then looking at the sun which had just come out, he decided that basking would be a be4tter use of his time. Maybe he's beat up Naruto later, Maybe. If he felt like it. Naruto took off while Ino barked and cursed at him.
'Stupid kid.' Shikamaru muttered as he stretched out in the sun, yawning.

A/N: I am obviously not familiar with Japanese wildlife, so that's why most these animals are from the Midwestern US, because I know more of what they are like.
