Hi! How are you all today? Well I'm happy as it's a Friday! Please enjoy this chapter, everyone!
Shikamaru's TROUBLESOME days!
Chapter 5- The flop of a festival! Part 1- Angriness!
Temari sighed. Even though it was a nice, hot sunny day in Konoha, she felt as if something had really dampened her day. When she asked Shikamaru why, he replied, "Your clothes. Did you forget that we both got soaked by a water dragon in the last chapter?"
"Oh yeah, that's true. Well as it's your entire fault, you have to by us outfits for the festival tonight!" She gave Shikamaru an annoying smirk.
"Troublesome woman…I have spare outfits at my house." He drawled lazily. "I'm not buying you anything."
"Fine, you win. But now you have to let me restyle your hair!"
"Why?"
"That's because you look stupid with that pineapple head of yours."
"…"
An awkward silence surrounded the two ninja. They were so used to annoying each other that they had both forgotten how to even hold up a decent conversation! But the boredom shared by the two turned into fear as soon as they entered the young Chunin's house.
"What happened here…?" Temari gasped at his house. It was dilapidated. The walls of the kitchen had holes burnt into them that were sizzling. The tiles looked as if a load of sticky tar had gotten stuck on it. Pots and pans lay scattered all over the place, while fish bones lay on the table. But somehow, the rest of the housed looked safe.
Shikamaru groaned. His mum probably tried to make bombs in the kitchen again…
"Mum, you're such a drag…" He grunted quietly.
"SHIKAMARU?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING AT HOME AT THIS TIME OF DAY?" His mum stepped out of the kitchen armed with a melting spatula.
"I was given the day off so I could give my friend Temari a tour of our village. How about you?"
"Oh, honey, I was making a sword! WAIT…IS THIS FRIEND OF YOURS A GIRL?" His mum's eyes flashed angrily. There was no way she wanted her adorable little baby to be hanging out with girls!
Temari then walked out from behind Shikamaru at the worst possible moment. "Hi, Shika's mum. I'm Temari." She stood tall and proud, not realising how scary his mum could be sometimes.
"Nice to meet you sweetie!" His mum gave Temari a sugary sweet smile. "SHIKAAAA! You NEVER told ME you were already starting to DATE GIRLS! HOW DARE you do this WITHOUT my consent beforehand!" His mum had lost all of her sanity and sped towards her unlucky son.
"Oh CRAP!" Shikamaru grabbed the outfits for both him and Temari, grabbed her arm and darted as far away from his crazy mum as possible.
"SHIKAMARU! Come back!" His mum screamed unhappily, as Shikamaru made a turn to the left to go to Choji's house.
Knock knock! Shikamaru banged on the door of Choji's house. The forever-eating Akimichi slowly opened the door. Choji had decided to bunk off school so that he could help prepare for the annual festival tonight.
"Hello Shika-TEMARI?" Choji spluttered on his chips, sending them flying into his best friend's face.
"I'll explain later. Can you let us in?" The troubled Chunin replied.
The festival hadn't even started yet, but for Shikamaru, the day seemed terrible.
I hope you enjoyed this! Have a good night! :)
