Shikamaru's TROUBLESOME day

by Lori Konosuna

Ugh. Summaries ARE such a drag. Basically, this is a story on a random day in my life that doesn't seem to go that well. Things get messed up and my luck worsens! Yeah.. so it's a story about a VERY odd day in Shika's life. DISCONTINUED STORY

2. Unlucky journey

Chapter 2- No way! A new visitor!

"Augh, man…!" Shikamaru sped out of the door, toast hanging from the side of his mouth. He hadn't EVER had to dash to school late. Well, there's a first time for everything, eh?

"HURRY UP AND RUN FASTER, SHIKAMARU! YOU'RE NOT A CHUNIN FOR NOTHING!" His mum yelled, adding to his angry mood. Then, suddenly a loud splash of water splattered all over him, as someone had dumbly chucked it out of the window! Shikamaru sighed and hurried on running.

He found his special shortcut to school via roof travel, but instantly regretted it when a load of cats got angry at the fact that he was in their territory and scratched him mercilessly. Eventually giving up on trying out the idea of avoiding the crazy cats, Shikamaru went back to travelling on the ground.

HMPH…There's my stupid school! He thought. Finally, Shikamaru had arrived at ninja academy! But his next challenge was now to climb up FOUR, yes FOUR flights of stairs to find his classroom.

Groaning all the way up, Shikamaru reached the top of the stairs in only a minute. It was his new record!

And so, as a reward, a bird happily plopped on his head! (Wow, Shika's having SUCH a GOOD day, isn't he?)

"Sorry I'm late." Shikamaru opened the door of his class, looking an absolute state.

Iruka-sensei turned his head towards Shikamaru, shock plastered all over it. "…" Iruka replied, not able to believe the fact that one of his best students was late to class! Shika's classmates muffled their laughter at his ripped-up clothes, drenched in water and then tried even harder to control their giggles at the perfectly placed poo on his head.

"HAHAHAAHAAHA!" breaking the awkward silence between them all, a familiar laugh rung through the classroom.

Wow, how troublesome. Why did she have to see me like THIS? Shika's face turned a deep, blotchy red.

"Well, Shikamaru-kun, now that you have graced us with your presence 127 minutes late, I have something to tell you. Today, you'll be guiding Temari around Konoha!" Iruka announced.

As if on cue, Temari stepped from behind Iruka, her face contorted into laughter. "Well, you look nice today!" She gave him an evil smirk.

Shika could only glare back at her. What a DRAG… He thought, for the forty-eighth time.

Thanks, readers! Bye bye!
