[in a mostly deserted area of woods somewhere on the opposite side of camp from the volcano, a series of HUGE EXPLOSIONS splits the evening air...

and a short time later a young ninja comes walking from that direction looking a little worse for the wear, but all in all pleased with himself]

((OOC: there is a mound of freshly turned dirt

Shikamaru...

[shadow_bum]

... It went well.

[inyohead]

...Okay.

Are you okay?

[shadow_bum]

[nods]

Not a scratch. Thank you for your help.

[inyohead]

I knew you could do it.

[shadow_bum]

*places a hand on her shoulder and squeezes*

Chouji should have been here, but... I'm glad it's over for now.

[inyohead]

*steps closer to him, hugging herself*

How long do you think it will last?

[shadow_bum]

Not long enough, but a while. Be careful if you're alone with him from now on.

[inyohead]

I don't think I could have relaxed around him before.

[shadow_bum]

... He wasn't worth noticing before.

[inyohead]

He was creepy before.

[shadow_bum]

...

[inyohead]

Well, he was.

*hugs herself a little tighter*

Do you think he's going to try to get you back?

[shadow_bum]

[thoughtful for a bit]

It's likely.

[inyohead]

Will you be safe?

[shadow_bum]

I should be.
