Articulate Bliss
Chapter 2- A good beginning makes a good ending
"Kakashi! Lets go out for some drinks!" Shikaku smiled.
" Sure thing" Kakashi hadn't had much fun this week anyway
The next day
"Kakaasshiii! Wanna join me for some sake again?"
"Haha, sure!"As far as Kakashi was concerned, his week was starting to get fun.
5 days later
"Kakashi, my scarecrow friend! I bet you know what I'm about to ask you." Shikaku smiled
"We've been drinking for the past week already! Iruka is starting to complain about my sloppy sex." Kakashi frowned at the memory.
"Hahaha! I'm sure one more night can't hurt you!"Shikaku said, surprisingly sounding desperate.
"Alright."Kakashi really couldn't say no, he and Shikaku had been through so much together already(mainly the binge drinking), their bond had grown so strong.
The next day
" Kakashi!" shouted Shikaku Nara, " Why don't we go for a bit of sake again?"
Smiling nervously, " Again? Hehehe, how about some other time? I have to... h-h-help team 7!" he scratched the back of his head.
"With what?" trying to determine if he was lying.
"Uhh...Tsunade wants me to help Sakura, Sai, and Naruto work better together, to improve their efficiency on the field!" Kakashi smiled at his own lie.
"Hah! I've got the perfect task for them! It's almost perfect, it's too much of a coincidence! It's essential Kakashi that I tell you of a good quest for those runts!" he was smiling at his good fortune, "You see, my wife has been yelling at me lately, for not controlling my son enough! She says, that he's becoming obsessed with cloud watching."
Quick Flashback
A white shining tea cup, came hurtling towards Shikaku, he ducked, the porcelain shattered into four pieces, "You know what the other women are saying behind my back Shikaku! HUH?! They say I'm not a good mother! That I can't even monitor my own son! And that his idleness, could have only come from my neglect in not involving myself enough with him!" she threw another teacup at him, it shattered against the wall.
Shoving his eyebrows together, "Now, now, tell you wha-" he ducked once again to dodge the teacup, he exhaled a puff of white smoke, " Dear, you can't keep throwing those around, you'll end up hurting someone. Now as I was sa-"
Her eyes were furious," You're always concerned about yourself! It's always you, you you!" She began to cry.
'Jesus, how do I deal with this every month?' he thought to himself, "You very well know I said someone, which could be you or me, tell you what, I'll follow Shikamaru for a few days and see what he does? And then after that I'll tell you everything that he's done, and you can make a plan to change it if you don't like his schedule."
"Fine. Dinner's ready."
End of Flashback
"Shikaku!"Kakashi was worried since Shikaku had stared off into space for quite some time.
"Right anyways, I promised my wife a week ago I'd follow Shikamaru for a few days, but he plans to well, and I always lose him, which is why I drink, so I have something to do... pitiful? Yes, but my son, is a genius and I can't help that fact." He kept barrelling on, " Anyways, you go send team 7 to search for my son and monitor him for say 5-7 days, and keep a written report, and give it back to me. And I won't ask you to come drinking with me again!"
Kakashi smiled, the booze had been getting to him, his reaction times slowed, his sex life was becoming tiresome, even Icha Icha, his perverted novel; was becoming hard to pay attention to, "Alright! I'll tell them right away."
A/N:
HAHAHAHAH can you guess whatever might happen next? And if you noticed the difference in writing style, it's due to the fact of the persona's I have to assume:
- Shikamaru, is very much a detail maniac, and of course a genius. So when I wrote the first chapter, I couldn't help but get into Shikamaru's shoes, and see the world as he does.
- While Kakashi is, in normal situations, as far as I can tell: a pervert, and his "normal life" (his life when he's not on any missions) is rather manly: compromised of sleeping around, sleeping in, and working out. So I'm sure he pays a lot of attention to detail in a battle, but not in a day to day event.
Btw please comment :D
