[naruto] the sky is falling in

So, uh, a drabble! In its choppy little glory!

Using only 100 words to try and get your point across is exceedingly hard . . . actually, this is the first drabble I've been able to successfully /keep/ to only 100 words. Chouji PoV-ish; Radiohead inspired. Ambiguous ending. Spoilers for manga 191. Friendshippy?

the sky is falling in
(i keep the wolf from the door)

Black eyes and white clouds.

Strange, that he should remember such things now.

One step, then another, steady . . .

He'd finally won the ninja game (it had always been a game but this time he'd won) and wouldn't He be proud of him? He laughed because he was still alive, because he was stronger. Because Shikamaru was still always right.

This wouldn't get him; they'd shown him the way and he'd be back where he belonged soon!

. . . but first --

--the shade was nice here, and his chest burned, and he felt so tired . . .

He thought that he might rest a while.

e.e;; puuuuuuuu. I luff Chouji. I hope he lives. I've got a feeling he may not, because Ninjas Must Die sometime, and there's sure to be a few early takers. I'm also thinking on following up with a Shikadrabble, but I'm not sure how quite to play him. Um, we'll see. ^^;;

genre: angst, character: chouji akimichi, fandom: naruto, type: drabble
