Chapter 3:
Shikamaru walked slowly to the market place. He was really not in a mood of shopping.
Well, he was never in a mood for anything, so, it didn't really change his habits.
He read the list for a second time. Tomatoes, rice, fish and some ginseng. That wouldn't be too troublesome to find...
Now hoping that nobody sees me...Not like I care, but it would be really troublesome to explain them...
"Shikamaru!"
The lazy boy turned and saw Ino and Sakura arriving, both with a dangerous smile on their face.
"Oy, Shikamaru, what are you doing?"
"Shopping." replied the young Nara. "My mother send me searching some supplies."
"Oh, yeah, Temari would come for dinner at your home."
"How...How do you know that?"
"Ino, plus mind control, plus bird." answered Sakura. "Means spying on your first kiss."
Ugh!
"I guess that you didn't came to tell me that."
"No..."
"We came see you, only because we were surprised to see you with that bag."
And Sakura pointed at it. Shikamaru shrugged her shoulders.
"Like I said, my mother send me to the market. I've to go now. If I stay too long away, I will be in a very troublesome situation once home."
"We can help if you want." proposed Ino.
Ino and Sakura help? Thanks, but no thanks...I don't even want to imagine what could happen with them around...
"No, thanks. I'll be fine."
And he walked away.
"If you don't want to help us, I'm sure that a few people would be very glad to hear that you've a date!" yelled Sakura to him.
Shikamaru stopped immediately and shivered. If Kiba, or worse, Naruto came after it...
What a drag...
Sakura and Ino ran to him and grabbed the list out of his hands.
"You've to be in a top form for tonight." said the young girl determined. "Let us handle this. Sakura, take the bag."
"Hai!"
"First the tomatoes. Up to the vegetables seller!"
And she took Shikamaru by the arm and pulled him with her. The pink haired ninja followed them closely.
Two scenarios came up in the young Nara's head.
Or Sakura and Ino will really help me with this troublesome work, or...By Kami's sake, please, make this not happening!
Still not knowing where this is going, but I'm beginning to have an idea. If you've any suggestions,ideas, I'm open to them! Sorry for the short chapter...
Review please!
