It was nice to have Chouji around the apartment to cook once in a while, considering the culinary skills of Ino, Kin, and Shikamaru. Between the three of them, they still couldn't figure out how to make the stove work properly most days. Chouji had been so busy with school and work (and honestly, so had she) that they rarely had a chance to see ( Read more... )

Ino laughed and agreed when people told her how lucky she was to have an almost famous father and ( Read more... )

[after Shikamaru propositions Kin in her LJ]

"I can't believe I'm doing this."

Yeah, that pretty much about covered everything. It wasn't that Kin hadn't been propositioned before. She had been. Multiple times. It wasn't that she hadn't been involved in pity-fucks or revenge-fucks or whatever, either, because she had. It wasn't that Shikamaru was ( Read more... )
