[Action Thread:] [My head hurts...] [OPEN TO: Shikamaru, Ino, and Chouji]
[Backdated to the night of the Fourth:]
If it'd been anyone but Ino, he would have been angry---angry, or at the very least highly irritated. The woman had given him a concussion, and why? Because it was Ino, his best friend, and he'd had the balls to make a comment on her weight. It hadn't even been a cruel comment, poking fun at the impressive 2.5 pounds she'd gained over her vacation---he'd simply made a quip about her latest diet being a flop.
And she'd bashed his head into the floor because of it.
And he'd gotten a concussion.
And now he had to spend the rest of his night awake, nursing a concussion, a growing lump, and a crushing headache.
And Ino had volunteered to keep him awake. How sweet of her, Shikamaru groaned to himself, stretching out on the couch and clutching his cat close to himself.
