Cat

As Shikamaru entered Kurenai's apartment, he noticed that Konohamaru was there as well. He was sitting on the floor dangling his scarf for the baby to paw at. Shikamaru sighed.

Kurenai didn't seem the least bit disturbed by Konohamaru's behaviour. She was sitting on the couch, laughing quietly. She smiled at Shikamaru.

Shikamaru allowed his lips to quirk into a small smile before he sat down next to Konohamaru. The baby stopped pawing the scarf, and stared up at Shikamaru with wide eyes.

It mewled softly. "Nice going, idiot," Shikamaru mumbled. He glared pointedly at Konohamaru "Now the kid thinks it's a cat."

Konohamaru dropped his scarf, and looked away. "You sure that's not just the sound all babies make?" he asked quietly.

Shikamaru shrugged. "If the kid has an identity problem, we'll know who to go after."

Konhamaru smiled sheepishly.
