Investigation

---

Konohamaru woke in the morning with the distinct impression that something earth-shattering-- or at least Konohamaru-shattering-- would happen today. So far his day had gone normally: at practice Moegi demanded they stay longer, Ebisu took pity on the boys, and let them out on time. He got lunch at Ichiraku's with Naruto nii-chan. He was on his way to cloud watch with Shikamaru when It happened-- it being the something that was Konohamaru-shattering.

When he was a short distance from their usual spot, Konohamaru heard the sound of two people laughing quietly. One of them sounded like Shikamaru. Konohamaru frowned slightly, and snuck forward to investigate. Shikamaru, and Choji-- and they looked like they were friends again!

Konohamaru frowned, and hid himself behind a large bush. He watched as they talked about nothing, everything, Konohamaru was too far away to hear what they were saying. After a while, they quieted down; Choji began eating a bag of potato chips, and Shikamaru stretched, looking at his watch.

Konohamaru stood quietly, and left.
