He forgets something important somehow
Neji entered the Konoha gates along with Shikamaru from a scouting mission along the borders of the fire country.
"Ahhhhhh," Shikamaru let out a big yawn, "Haahh, it's good to be back I guess. Ahh I could use a nap right now." Slouching and putting his hands in his pocket.
They were both heading towards the hokage tower to report their mission. They went round the corner passing the ichiraku ramen shop when they saw a familiar kunoichi coming out of the shop.
"Yo Tenten". Shikamaru hailed her.
Said kunoichi stiffened when she noticed both of them. Neji nodded at her. She did something very unusual. At first she seemed happy to see him, and then she scowled at him and glared at him looking like a very displeased cat, and then suddenly gave Shikamaru a bright grin and hugged him. She ignored him like he wasn't there.
"Hi, shika! Tema-chan sends her regards; she was here 3 days ago! She told me to give you a hug." She released then patted Shikamaru awkwardly on the shoulders. While she did this, Shikamaru looked cautiously at Neji.
"Okay then, bye Shika." And without even looking at or acknowledging him, she shouldered violently past him. Going towards the market district and disappearing in the crowd while she grumbled under her breath.
Neji stood outside the ramen shop looking shocked like he ate a lemon and gaping like a fish. A frown appeared in his face as he stared after her. His whole left arm stinging.
"Tsk, troublesome. What did you do?" The pineapple-headed genius accused him. His head snapped towards Shikamaru, giving him the same glare that his teammate just used on him earlier.
"Anyway we have to go report to the hokage." The Nara rolled his eyes at him and started walking towards the tower putting his arms behind his head yawning all the while. "Troublesome."
