~Alai~

"Kashi, come on!"

"Your in a rush this morning."

"Mhm! I saw Shi yesterday, he wants to catch up! He said he'd even bring Kiba and Hinata!"

My Guardian chuckled at my enthusiasm.

"Someone's popular, you found all of your old friends."

"Not all of them."

Kashi said nothing as he went to the door and opened it, waiting for me to exit. I smiled at the thought of Kashi actually leaving on time, without a fight or threat.

'Aw, I miss the wars now.'

I turned around to see Kashi locking the door, but when he turned around, he was surprised to see that a book was thrown at his face...his book to be exact. He looked to the ground at the object before shaking his head and picking it up.

"I really need to hide that somewhere else..."

I laughed before receiving a confused and slightly annoyed look from Kashi.

"I miss our wars."

"We have one every morning, including yesterday.."

"Exactly! It's become a tradition!"

Kashi placed his book back in his usual place before walking down through the streets of Konoha.

"We have to make a stop somewhere..."

"Hm? um, yeah sure..."

I didn't like the tone in his voice when he said we had to make a stop. He sounded as if he was upset about something.

~Shikamaru~

I was taking my time walking to the old meeting spot, even though I hadn't gone there in five years. I still remembered the way perfectly. I'd be early, but I'll just take a nap or something. Kiba already knew where to go and I'm sure he'll be dragging Hinata too, so she wouldn't be lost.

"Hey Shikamaru!"

I turned to face my team-mate Ino, who was wearing her usual attire today.

'Guess she's not working today.'

"Hey Ino."

"Where ya heading?"

"To meet someone."

"Someone? Does little Shikamaru have a date? No wait, that's impossible."

"How troublesome..."

"Huh? Hey, SHIKAMARU!"

I ignored her as I walked away calmly. I didn't want to deal with her today. After a few minutes I turned a corner and saw Sasuke Uchiha talking to Naruto Uzumaki, the Uchiha seemed peeved about something and shortly after he spoke, Naruto looked worried about something. Before I could get closer I saw Naruto wave his hands frantically and then took off. Sasuke looked as the boy ran off before turning to walk in the other direction. I waited until both were out of sight before I walked out.

It was then that I felt a tap on my shoulder. I sighed at the thought of another person bothering me, but when I turned to look I saw Hinata looking down at the ground.

"H-Hi Shikamaru-san."

"Hey Hinata, Kiba told you right?"

"Y-Yes he did."

"And he's not with you?"

"He r-ran off somew-where and I l-lost him."

"That idiot, alright then I'll take you up with me. Loud mouth knows the way."
