Spring Break in Konoha

Author: FarCryFromDead

Ten minutes to go…eight minutes to go…Nara Shikamaru sat in his seat and watched the clock on the wall, ticking down the minutes till his class got out for Spring Break.

Waiting is so troublesome, the lazy shinobi in training thought. He buried his head in his arms. No sooner had he done that than he felt something, like a paper ball, hit him on the back of the head. He ignored it. Suddenly two hit his head and he heard a giggle right behind him that he recognized as Yamanaka Ino, his blonde, girly classmate. He ignored the other balls and the giggle. Three paper balls. Ignore. Four paper balls. Ignore. Five paper balls. Ignore.

Before he realized it, Shikamaru was hidden by a paper ball mountain. He lifted his head lazily and looked around. He cast a bored glance at the clock and straightened up immediately.

Yes! Thirty seconds! He silently cheered. He stretched his arms. He heard the sound of paper being crumpled up and looked around for the culprit. He turned to see Uzumaki Naruto, just four seats away from where he sat, wading up a piece of paper. Shika rolled his eyes and put his head back down. Of course, the moment he put his head down the bell rang.

Shika stood up and stretched his lengthy arms. Roughly two dozen students stood up, gathered all their belongings, all the while chattering animatedly with each other. Shika paid little heed to most of the students. There was however, the beautiful Yamanaka Ino and all her long haired glory. Spring break was in and Shika had no plans of letting her out of his site.

Spring break meant swimming, swimming meant bikinis. Shika could almost feel the nosebleed hit as he thought of how Ino would look in her swimsuit. It wasn't just Ino that he couldn't wait to see, but Haruno Sakura, the pink haired kunoichi had a certain something about her that Shika couldn't quite figure out what he absolutely adored about her.

Shika had to admit, to himself and no one else obviously, that women weren't really as troublesome as he told every one. When he was "cloud watching" he wasn't actually thinking about the clouds, his thoughts mostly only revolved around Yamanaka.

So if I go and "watch the clouds" at the beach on Saturday, I could catch Miss Ino in her swimsuit, or should I say, swim-cute. He blushed at his own brilliance. It was no wonder that people thought he was total genius and now he figured he knew why.

He put on his swimming trunks and headed out of his apartment.
