Chapter 10: High Times, Great Times 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shikamaru POV

Great. Just great. Want to know what is oh so great? Well even if you don't, I'll tell you exactly what's oh so fucking great. Don't be surprised at what I am about to say though, because it happens more often than it should. Needless to say we were all high.

Earlier Today 

I can't believe that bastard! When i see him, I'm gonna kill him. I walk down the road with purpose, heading to the Akimichi household. 

My so called best friend has stolen a book. A very important book, that so happens to be my book. Most people call it a journal, but some refer to it as a diary. That is a journal I haven't parted with for as long as I can remember. Meaning everything, everything is in there. And sometimes everything should not be revealed. 

Walking up the driveway, as his house was walking distance from my house. Knocking furiously until someone answers, and it happens to be Ms. Akimichi who welcomes me with a sloppy kiss on the cheek that I return less messily, and go up the stairs, wiping my cheek as best I can. 

Stopping at his door, I smell the smoke wafting up from the crack at the bottom of his door, and the hollow wheezing of multiple people in his room.

 Oh great.

 I open the door, the overwhelming smell of pot slapping me in the face.

 Through the smoke I spot the gang. Choji, Naruto, Kiba, Lee, Sasuke, Shino, Gaara, and Neji, sitting in a circle, smoking. This is a fucking disaster. They give me a warm welcome through coughs and puffs. "Move over," I tell Neji as I join the circle, feeling that I couldn't miss out on this session. 

You see, when we all get together and smoke, shit always happens. Last time, Naruto ended up in the hospital from tripping over a bong and hitting his head against Choji's trophy from wrestling. "SHIKAMARU~" Lee drags his words," we don't see you anymore! What's up with that?" he says.

"Lee, we never see him, the only difference is t-that he is with I-N-O."  Kiiba says with a grin.

 To avoid their stares, I occupy myself with taking a hit from the bong, clearing it, and putting the bowl back in, feeling the smoke fill my lungs then exhale. I pass it on to Gaara.

" What are you talking about? Obviously you have been high for too long." I say, schooling my features so that they won't see my slight embarrassment.

"Lies Shikamaru! She hasn't even been attending the school council meetings that she arranges, and we all know how crazy Ino is about her work as council president. So that means only one thing, she  is with you." Naruto says with his dumb grin, looking triumphant."Okay, and what if she as with me? What's so wrong about that?" I say looking around the circle of my best friends. 

Choji laughed, patting Naruto on the back,"so you finally admit it huh? Lee, pass me some chips, under my bed, no not in the drawer you idiot!" they start to bicker and Lee stands up, struggling with finding his balance.
