Peace. Ah, glorious morning.

Nothing to do. No one to see. Just a boy and his---

"SHI-KA-MA-RU."

Troublesome woman.

A lazy turn and an even lazier raise of the eyebrow in said troublesome woman's direction.

"Eh?" An even lazier and far less considerate word for a greeting.

"You told me you would train with me today!" growl.

"…Anyone ever tell you, that you resemble a dragon?"

"WHAT!?" GROWL.

In retrospect Shikamaru mused as he went flying over Konoha Academy, that calling Ino a dragon was a grave misjudgment of her character.

She was more of a fire breathing pig.
