AN: READ AND REVIEW!
Shikamaru: Age 11
Chapter 5 – Note To Self: Don't Question A Girl!
Shikamaru managed to get through the rest of the day, all the way up to 1:45 pm.
"Iruka?" a new genin, TenTen, mumbled. "You're needed at team Gai. Lee injured himself training…again…" she mumbled.
"Be right there, TenTen!" Iruka laughed. He turned to the class. "Talk quietly among yourselves while a get this dealt with. I'll be back in 15 minutes." He turned and followed the bun-haired girl out of the door.
"Shikamaru Nara!" Ino Yamanaka's cross voice rang in the said boy's ears.
"Ya, Yamanaka?" Shikamaru questioned warily.
"You made a fool out of me! I was commenting on how I should get you to tutor me…but you got a lower mark than Naruto! He got a 52!" Ino cried.
"Are you calling Naruto stupid?" Shikamaru questioned calmly. He completely hid the anger he developed by hearing his crush talk trash about his friend like that.
"Well…no duh! Naruto's stupid! Not to mention a loser." She noticed the boy's blank face. "Oh…are you annoyed about that? All your friends are dorks! Chouji is fat and never stops eating, while Kiba is loud and obnoxious and always ditches class when Iruka-sensei's not looking AND his best friend is a DOG!"
"Ino…" Shikamaru growled. "I won't stand for you talking about them like that…" he grounded out.
Ino looked aghast. "Oh? Don't you use that tone with me, Nara!" She grinned. "And you don't have to stand!" She brought her knee up, hitting him in…well…BELOW the equator.
"ACK!" Shikamaru fell to his knees and curled up in a ball of pain, listening to the whole class erupt into laughter.
"DUDE! Are you ok?" Kiba ran up to the fallen boy and hauled him over to the back of the class.
Shikamaru was glad Kiba was a take-charge kind of guy. "Thanks," he cringed.
"Kicked by the girl you like…and there no less!" Naruto teased. He quietly snickered at his friend's expense.
"Shut up, Uzumaki!" Shikamaru ordered. "How troublesome," he cringed.
Iruka-sensei walked in. "To your seats!"
Poor Shika! Till next update!
