Written for the LJ Community 50 shinobi prompt challenge. In this drabble, I honestly don't know where my imagination led me. It goes from talking about one topic to the next in the blink of an eye and probably doesn't make sense. But as it is, the prompts were not designed to make sense but to see what you would think of from reading the prompt. And this is what I thought of. Enjoy!
I BEG YOU TO VOTE ON THE POLL ON MY PAGE.

Bingo Book/ No. 16

XxXxXxXxX

Flicking through the pages of the old dusty book, Shikamaru sighed for what felt like the thousandth time. The library was farely empty except for a couple of medics in the corner and Sai was sitting a few tables away, scanning through the latest copy of "Getting to know your emotions and the impact they have on the people around you." The lamp to his right let out a faint dull yellow glow and he could see the dust moving about the air with every breath he took.

Glancing again at the book beneath him, he was reminded of why he sat here in the first place. The stupid Jounin exams were coming up and there was a written exam on the contents of the bingo book. Stupid Lady Tsunade had ordered him to study. He tried to do it in his spare time but the clouds usually distracted him and when he did it in his bedroom, his mother took advantage of the fact that he was home and not out on missions by making him do tons of housework. He was better off at the library although the faint murmuring the background was more annoying than someone screaming in his ear. He sighed again and caught the glare the librarian sent his way.

He turned the next page in the book, looking down at a familiar face. Hidan. He let out a disgusted sound. There was a large 'X' over his face and "dead" written on top of his picture. Technically, that wasn't true but not many people knew that. Tsunade and some of the people that were on the mission with him were the ones he told. Ino had nearly gotten sick when he told her that there was a head buried on the Nara grounds. She had yet to set foot on the grass and she didn't plan on doing so anytime soon. The details of Hidan were actually written by Shikamaru. Tsunade had handed him an A4 page and told him to write down everything he knew about the immortal Akatsuki member. Memories of Asuma passed through his mind and he quickly turned the page. There was no need for those memories when his legacy was still living on in the form of a miniature Sarutobi with piercing red eyes and dark brown hair.

The next page held some shinobi from Sunagakure. He was deemed a missing nin a few years ago but was never caught. It didn't seem to matter much because if what his sources told him was true, he was never seen again and has never attempted any unlawful deed. He turned the page after memorising the shinobi's name only to find the one and only Sabaku no Temari staring back at him with a playful smirk. Her hair was in its usual fashion and even in the glossy photograph that was printed on the page, he could still see her sharp teal eyes as though daring him to say something stupid. He smirked to himself, the same lopsided smirk that he was infamous for. There were plenty of details about the Suna Kunoichi, none of which he had contributed to.

He knew most of those details but there were some things that he didn't know and rather why they were in the bingo book in the first place. She apparently loves strawberries and has a fear of cats. He chuckled to himself, earning a disapproving scowl from the librarian. Closing the book once more, he put it back on its rightful shelf before leaving the old building. He wondered if maybe there was time for a vacation before the jounin exams. It would be nice to visit Sunagakure; He hadn't visited in a while. And maybe his mother could whip up a batch of fresh strawberries before he left.

Yes, Yes, I know. I'm thinking the same. "WTF?!" but that's besides the point. I don't know why but I get the feeling that Temari would be more of a dog person, love strawberries and hate tomatoes. Please don't ask where that came from but ever since I first saw her character, those were the traits that came to me :P
