Three o'clock had passed, and Shikamaru was nowhere to be found. Konohamaru had wondered whether it would be appropriate to go to Shikamaru's house. In the end, he decided to go. If Shikamaru was mad, he could always say that he stopped by to see Shikaku-sensei.
When he arrived, Shikamaru's mom shooed him to the back yard. There, he found both Shikamaru, and his father playing shogi. Konohamaru approached slowly. "Can I watch?" he asked tentatively
Shikamaru didn't look up from the game, but nodded. "Sure."
Konohamaru sat down, and looked at the game board. They were moving fast, but never seemed to make any mistakes! He looked over at Shikamaru. "Aren't you nervous?" he asked seriously.
"Why?" Shikamaru asked frowning. Konohamaru was unsure if the frown was directed at him, or at the game.
Konohamaru smirked. "Shikaku-sensei's going to pummel you."
Shikamaru glared; this time Konohamaru knew it was directed at him because Shikamaru looked right at him. "Thanks for having so much confidence in me..." he muttered.
Shikaku-sensei laughed.
