Konohamaru pushed the door to Kurenai's apartment open. He stood there for a moment, gasping for breath. "Have you seen Shikamaru?" he asked anxiously.
Kurenai nodded. Before she could say anything, Shikamaru came out of the back room holding the baby in his arms. "There you are," he said casually. "I tried to find you."
Konohamaru, who was now leaning against the doorframe, gasping slightly, noticed the baby in Shikamaru's arms. "Wait, you found it?!" he asked breathlessly.
"Yes, I did find my forehead protector." Konohamaru raised an eyebrow. "It was sitting in the bushing right near us."
Konohamaru frowned. "Yeah, but where did you-- Oh!" Shikamaru nodded-- a bit condescendingly; Konohamaru glared. "How long did you look for me?"
Shikamaru shrugged. "A few minutes."
Konohamaru would have hit Shikamaru, but luckily for the bastard, he was carrying the baby; any injury to Shikamaru would mean endangering the baby. He settled for growling slightly. "I've been out there for three hours!" he groaned.
Kurenai smiled. "That's very sweet of you to help Shikamaru-kun find his forehead protector, Konohamaru-kun."
Konohamaru shot Shikamaru a glare.
