Lazy Day... 99 Red Balloons...

[mendoukse]

Shikamaru lied down in the spot he'd claimed since he was a kid and looked into the sky and watched the clouds. The weather was perfect, it was sunny, but not too sunny. And the white cumulus clouds hung over head to provide shade as they wandered past and there was a wonderful breeze... the perfect day. He sighed in contentment. There was nothing

"We're already plenty wet, huh? Ne, dont mind that Im dripping everywhere; my jackets not as waterproof as it looks."

He watched as Naruto pulled her in, he'd been talking to Sakura, but trust him to be the ever dense one. Shrugging walking inside after them he closed the door locking it, his mother always nagged him when he forgot. He turned around while he reached behind his head taking out the small band that held out his hair feeling a snag...

"You better get a towel before you catch a cold, both of you..."

Shikamaru continuing to pull at the band watched as she held out the vest to him.

"...and thanks you probably need this back."Shikamaru took the vest with his free hand as there was a small snap and an 'ow' from Shikamaru as the band came free letting his wet hair fall to his shoulders

Naruto nodded, following after, and he'd let Sakura's wrist go the second they walked into the door. He figured he'd be breaking some type of no-touching rule if he hadnt.

Never one to let things get boring (by his definition, of course), he started talking as he stepped close enough that he was almost clipping Shikamaru's heels. "Ne, its been a while since Ive been to your house--I think we came here one of the times we skipped school and it started raining.. do I only get rights to come over when its raining? Thats kinda sucky."

"Ne, its been a while since Ive been to your house--I think we came here one of the times we skipped school and it started raining.. do I only get rights to come over when its raining? Thats kinda sucky."

Shikamaru shrugged with a smirk, "Sorry? Didn't think you'd cared to come over with my troublesome mother since she used to yell at you all the time... being some kind of bad influence." He laughed a little at the rememberance of it. "It was fun though..." He said as he reached his room opening the door, "Well, pick out what you wanna wear I guess, we're about the same size now I think..."

Sakura blinked to the wet lazy nin, he looked different; not so 'boring' as Ino alway complained him to do be but well she couldn't remember ever seeing his hair down before. It was probably a good thing he kept it up then, if he let it down he'd have a fanclub of his own...n-not like she really thought him like that or anything! He was just a little different then she'd figured him out to be.

All of this processed in a manner of seconds- though to her deeply hidden Inner maybe in her mind the thought had lasted more then ten minutes and luckily Naruto had let go of her and not gone all creepy perverted on her. She started to roll her eyes when Shikamaru spoke but suddenly irked at his statement about men and women- she didn't need some guy taking care of her damnit! She was not weak

"Shikamaru! I heard other guests--!"

Shikamaru's mother stepped out of the kitchen almost as Sakura headed in stepping back a little, "Sakura-chan! Shikamaru didn't mention you coming over." She said simply surprised that her lazy son had brought a girl home. Then noticing the storm outside and then hearing Naruto's voice she stepped in the kitchen, "You must be freezing!" Maternal instincts taking over her anger her son hadn't told her. Perhaps it was due to the storm, sudden sort of thing. That must've been it

"Um, hi?" The kunoichi blinked at the other woman, Shikamaru's mother she guessed-well she seemed normal enough. She smiled sweetly nodding to her sweetly. "Ah I'm fine your son let me barrow his vest so I ddn't get wet from the rain...Ah and I was going to ma---" Her jade eyes widened slightly as Shika's mother suddenly yelled across the house her face twisted up into scary features, then normal the next. "H-hot chocolate. I was going to make it."

She sweatdropped and let her hands sway at her sides, Ino hadn't been kidding! Her attention shifted at the voice and she glanced over to see Shikamaru entering.

[mendoukse]

"That's okay Sakura-chan I'll make it for you." Then turning to Shikamaru she thwacked him a good one on the head. "OW! What the hell was that for?!" She thwacked him again, "I only need one 'yea' from you! And don't use that smart mouth with me!" Shikamaru irked quite afraid of his mother, then turning to Sakura nodding his head almost timidly to motion to her that his mother would take care of it and that they'd better get out of the kitchen. She went about making Sakura some hot choclate making Naruto some too without bothering to ask since he'd been over here when he was little, he loved her hot choclate last she knew off

[tintedblossom]

"A-ano but I like making hot chocolate..." She caught Shikamaru's look and figured he was right-jeez his mom was scary! She kind of reminded her of someone- sweet one moment and bursting a head the next...oh well she couldn't remeber right now.

Walking into the living room she sweatdropped at Shikamaru about to take a nap-what a way to treat a guest after inviting them in out of the rain! It was still kind of embarrassing he'd carried her and where was NARUTO? She sank into one of the chairs frowning over at him.

"Oi, what are you doing Shikamaru?"
