Safu was born into a body that was weak and shackled to the earth. Day by day, she watched her organs fail, one at a time as her fingers lost their will to move. She watched her parent's eyes grow dimmer and dimmer until her own sight grew dim as we...

IT WAS A NORMAL DAY WITH SHION CASUALLY SITTING WITH HER JUICE BOX'S straw in between her lips while she read her book. It was of course, Ninja Love 3: Taehiro's demise and it only sucked a little. Not the book, as Taehiro was in her daydreams, but rather the bruise on her butt from being shoved into a rock during training. This made it very difficult to sit down on her favorite tree branch.
She turned a page while simultaneously a making rooster noise in her walkie talkie. She glanced up towards the window of Iruka's apartment, seeing his silhouette through the curtains as he scrambled to find the source of the sound.
Shion deemed that unlikely, unless he really was going to tear apart his floor boards in order to find the other walkie talkie. She doubted it though. Every once in a while she would sneak into his apartment while he was teaching at the academy, and she would change the batteries. That is the benefit of pranking a teacher; knowing their schedule.
"Shion," Shikamaru greeted from down below with a lazy shrug before he attempted to keep on walking. Shion however, perked up at the sight of the other boy before she jumped down next to him.
"Shikamaru, wanna play a game?" Shion asked and he sighed. "Before you say anything, be mindful: It's my birthday."
"Is it though?" Shikamaru was quick to question her, likely because he had been burned before. Still, the round of questioning caused her to let out a small grin that only made him sigh.
"It could be. Come on, Shikamaru, you never want to play." She took a step forward and grabbed him by the shoulders. "It's my birthday, Shikamaru."
"If I recall, wasn't your birthday in August?" Shikamaru asked and she bit her bottom lip.
"Nah. I'm pretty sure it's today. It's always been in July," she said with a nod.
"You are so annoying," he muttered as she dragged him away. "What are you doing outside Iruka's apartment anyway? You looked like a creep."
"I'm not being creepy. I'm just watching him through his window while drinking a juice box..." Shion paused. "You know, in order to rectify that obviously creepy statement, I should tell you it was a prank."
"Are you still mad he tried to hold you back in the academy?" Shikamaru asked, still annoyed that Shion continued to drag him to some unknown destination. The girl looked back at him, her small pink curls bobbing over her shoulder.
"Of course not, that would be petty and childish," she said, lifting the walkie talkie and making making the noise of a cat meowing. Shikamaru decided not to ask what her prank was on the account of her making him take part in it, which would seriously suck. "I was the best student in the class. I excelled. I don't know what his problem is."
