"Yo! Dude! What up?"
"Duuuude, have you seen that Temari chick? She is, like, SOOO hot."
Shikamaru swung the chair around backwards and fell into it, draping his arms over the backboard.
Kiba laughed loudly and rolled his eyes. "Temari? Man, you have GOT to be kidding me. Have you seen her hair?"
"Shut it, dude. Her hair rocks." Shikamaru aimed a swift kick at Kiba's shins, under the table.
"Owwww! Hey, man, that's not cool!"
"Whatever. Where'd Naruto go, anyway?"
The door to the basement room swung open, framing a figure through the haze. The figure coughed, stepped inside, and pulled the door closed behind him.
"Daaang, dude. Think you've smoked enough of it yet?" Naruto coughed again as he pulled a stool to the table, to join Kiba and Shikamaru.
Kiba laughed loudly. "No WAY. There's a TON of this shit!"
"Where'd you score it, anyway?" Shikamaru asked.
"Oh, me an' Hinata were out on a mission. An' Shino. We were supposed to be protecting some dude from the mist country. Anyway, these punks came after him. I don't know what their problem was. They couldn't fight worth crap anyway, sure weren't no ninja. But they had a LOAD of this stuff on them. I figured you guys'd probably like it, so I swiped it." Kiba flashed a toothy smile.
"And Shino and Hinata just LET you?" Shikamaru asked incredulously.
"Oh, Shino was all for turning it over. Doin' what's proper, y'know. Hinata didn't care as long as I promised to give her half."
"You WHAT!?" Shikamaru and Naruto yelled, at precisely the same moment.
"She digs the stuff, dudes. You don't know what that girl is like."
("Jinx," Naruto muttered at Shikamaru.)
("Che. Fine. I'll buy you a coke.")
("Score!")
"Dudes, are you even listening to me?"
Naruto turned back around to face Kiba. "Oh. What? Something about Hinata?"
"Yeah, man. She is WILD! And she's so got a thing for you. If you weren't so hung up on Sakura, man..."
Shikamaru gave Naruto a level look. "Dude, he's right. The girl is hot."
"You think everyone is hot, Deer Boy. I swear, I'll bet you even think Ino is hot." Kiba rolled his eyes again.
"Duuude, she IS! Have you even LOOKED at her?"
Kiba opened his mouth to reply, but stopped when the door to the room crashed open., revealing a taller outline.
"What is going on here?"
"Oh, CRAP," Naruto whispered. "It's Kakashi-sensei. We are SO dead."
The figure in the doorframe coughed. It closed the door and strode forward toward the table.
Naruto tried to edge back, but toppled off his stool. Kiba rose halfway to his feet, looking ready to run. Shikamaru sat with a bored expression on his face, his eyes fixed on the approaching figure.
"Naruto? Is that you down there?" The looming shape resolved itself into the white-haired, cover-eyed Kakashi.
"SHIIIIT!! Kakashi-sensei! It's Kiba's, it's all his! Don't kill me!"
Kiba sank back into his chair, shooting a hateful look at Naruto. "Man, if Kakashi doesn't kill you, I'm SO gonna do it myself."
Shikamaru simply glanced up at the older man, his eyes a little narrower. "Yo, dude. What up?"
Kakashi coughed again. "Yo, Shika. This really Kiba's bud?"
"Word, man. All Kiba's."
"Sweet. Okay, Kiba, here's the drill. I heard Gai's out looking for some 'special stamina incense'. You know how he's into all that crazy new-age shit. So I'm gonna get some for him. If you hook me up..." Kakashi held up three fingers.
Kiba stared at Kakashi incredulously. "If I HOOK YOU UP!?"
Kakashi nodded. "Yeah, dude. IF, here's the deal. One, I don't turn you in." Kakashi lowered one of his fingers.
Kiba's eyes widened in surprise. "SWEET!"
"Two, I let you guys watch."
Shikamaru smiled to himself. "You can't say that's not a good deal, dude."
Naruto sat up and moaned, rubbing his head. "Daaaaang, man. I've majorly got the munchies. What's number three, Kakashi-sensei?"
Kakashi smiled brightly. "Three, I take you all out for Ichiraku Ramen."
