Choji stepped over the twitching body of Kiba and walked toward the last door. Naruto turned and followed. Ino and Sakura knelt by their fallen comrade and Shino lowered his glasses for a moment before pushing them back up and heading after Naruto and Choji.
"I got shogi and Choji gets this!" Shikamaru's voice squeaked at the end. "My life is so unfair."
Neji had placed his hands in front of his eyes but TenTen doubted it was making any difference since his Byakugan was active. She snorted and looked into the room at a naked and very voluptuous Kurenai. She crossed her arms over her own less than ample chest and sighed. She'd have to ask Shizune if there were medicines for breast enhancement.
Kurenai finally got the towel back up but couldn't seem to find her voice. She looked at the few ninja still standing in the doorway and decided to go with questions first.
"What are all of you doing here?" There. That was a good start. Make it look like their fault.
"We came to get a few videos. What are you doing here?" It wasn't lost on the girls that Shikamaru spoke the entire sentence to her chest.
"Well, I was... getting a drink and few... um... books when I spilled the drink and it got on my clothes and since they were wet I had to change them and..."
Hinata and TenTen stared. Shikamaru nodded with the bounce of her breasts. So did Neji though he still had his hand in front of his eyes. And Ino and Sakura finally got Kiba off the floor and headed toward the back room.
"... I turned on the music while of was showering. You know... to get the sticky drink off... not the music... the shower. And then I came out and heard Choji and saw you were here and..."
"I'm not even buying that one." Hinata said as she blinked slowly trying to sort out some kind of sense from that explanation.
"I've seen what she reads. She would know." Shikamaru intoned as he shook himself and tried wishing the white towel way.
"Excuse me. May I use the bathroom?" Neji asked, then without waiting for a reply moved stiffly into the bathroom and slammed the door shut.
"Three day's without his smut rags and he can barely function in society. Pitiful." TenTen turned from the door and followed after Choji and the others.
Hinata sighed and turned to go as well, grabbing Shikamaru as she went and dragging him behind her. She stepped into the room and noted the frustrated faces of the girls as they looked over the video's in a cabinet just to the right. Ino was thumbing through one shelf while Kiba growled at another. Sakura's unusually high forehead was wrinkled in concentration as she scanned the five rows of DVD's.
"There's no rhyme or reason to this. It's just jumbled up. How are we suppose to get anywhere just thumbing through." Ino groused.
Kiba dropped down to the bottom shelf and started running his fingers over some of the blank boxes on the bottom shelf. Shino moved with him. Shikamaru looked over the rows then nodded.
"They're alphabetized by cup size." TenTen looked up at the shadow-nin surprised.
"How did you figure that out?" Sakura asked.
"They're labeled." Shikamaru replied.
All three girls sweat dropped.
Hinata leaned down a fiddled with the closed box in the far corner of the cabinet as Kiba stood with a movie in his hand.
"All of these are marked with a date and that's it." Kiba showed the movie to Choji who nodded and took another off the shelf.
"Home videos. He's got a few of them. Not all of them are interesting but a few will make you laugh."
Shikamaru wasn't sure Asuma would like knowing Choji laughed at his home movies with Kurenai. Especially if there were sex involved. Then he reminded himself to have a talk with his former sensei about not sharing the wealth with him.
"HA! I KNEW IT!!" Everyone stopped to stare at Shino who was pointing dramatically at a group of movies apparently hidden behind the home videos.
"Knew what?" Ino protested as she wiggled a finger in her ear to easy the pain.
"This movie is male on male." They all leaned into the movie in question. Sure enough, the title read "Queer and Present Danger". Everyone stared in horror at the other 20 dvd's sitting on the shelf. The front door open and closed as they gaped. Then Kurenai walked into the room fully clothed and holding a scroll.
"Naruto said to give you this and he'd catch up with the group later." She handed it to Shikamaru and looked over their shoulders. "What are you looking at?" Then she saw the video in Shino's hand and blushed. "Oh." She grabbed it out of his hand and pushed through the group to put it back on the shelf. "Those are mine."
Thud...
"This is getting old Kiba!" Ino yelled as she bent to pull him into her lap.
Choji noticed Kiba's eyes weren't completely closed and when Ino bent over him he knew he saw a smile. Not as dumb as he looked apparently.
Shino sighed and returned the other videos to the shelf, then leaned into Choji and said in a conspiratorial tone, "She's covering." Choji looked confused but didn't reply. Kurenai simply ignored the exchange as she put the video's back on the shelf and gave herself a mental reminder to get a lock for this cabinet.
"What are these?" Hinata asked softly as she lifted a disk from the box she'd been playing with.
"Let me see." Ino took the disk and read the front. "Kyuubi Dreams. What's that?"
Kurenai looked puzzled. "I don't know. I've never seen this one before."
"Th-there are n-n-nine of them." Hinata said as she lifted the other discs from the box.
"I remember those." Choji spoke from the far side of the room. "Asuma said I couldn't watch them. Something about it just being weird and too fetish for me." He shrugged and headed for the kitchen.
Kurenai started following him, knowing there'd be nothing left come tomorrow if he were left alone.
"You'd better put them back, Hinata. If Asuma says you can't see them then he has his reasons."
"Yes sensei." Hinata place took the disk back from Ino and turned to the box.
Shikamaru stepped toward her with a stack of movies in his hand. "These should do it." He sat the pile next to Hinata and turned to the group at large. He noted Sakura's concerned look as she watched Hinata at the box but chalked it up to the pink haired girls curiosity.
"Alright. We have our material, now all we need is our subject. Information recently received indicates the target will be at the memorial for three hours at sunrise. We will meet one hour before to make preparations and deploy. Neji!" Shikamaru scanned the room.
Neji came flying out of the bedroom with his hands on the tie of his pants. His face was flushed and he looked very relaxed.
"Yeah." The Hyuuga replied amiably.
"I have a mission for you. Deliver this scroll to the Hokage's office. It needs to be there in one hour or the point in moot." Shikamaru handed Neji the scroll Kurenai had handed him earlier.
"I'm on it." Neji replied with a half smile.
All the other members of the group watched him go with varying degrees of confusion.
"Did Neji just smile?" Kiba asked as he reached for the videos next to Hinata.
He felt her hand slap against his and looked over his shoulder at her.
"I-i'll g-ge-ge-get them." She said quietly smiling at him.
"Sure, Hinata." Kiba grinned and left the video's next to her.
"Alright, everyone. We'll meet one hour before dawn. Be prepared. The Subject knows we're watching and is former ANBU. He won't be easy to catch."
Hinata handed him the discs as he reached his hand back. He took the pile and tucked them into his vest.
"Dismissed." He nodded and indicated the door.
The group moved out of Asuma's home one by one, except Choji who stayed in the kitchen. Hinata was the last one out the door. With a smile she closed it tightly and thought about the little knock opportunity had just made on her door.
