It was 4:35pm and Shikamaru has yet to show up for their Study date. Sakura thinks it's not new, expected even. Neji thinks it’s annoying that he's always late. Kiba hasn't shown up yet either. That was new.
"Do you think Kiba-kun decided to hunt down Shikamaru-kun for us this time?" Sakura askes the Hyuuga sitting not far from her. She could see Kiba trying to find where’s the Nara taking a nap right now. Maybe as a challegne or because he’s starting to get just as annoyed as they are.
“You are more than welcomed to scold them as long as you are not interapting me again.” he didn’t even look up from his book to answer her. After the chunin exams he started to question his clans beliefes. The talk he had with Naruto was more than eye opening of the ways of the Hyuuga clan, and why they are wrong on many level. He still has a hard time unlearning that he’s not superrior to clanless shinobi but he is trying.
Sakura stud up, ready to give him a piece of her mind when the door opened and out came Kiba, dragging Shikamaru behind him.
“Glad to see you guys finally joining us.” she turned to newcomers instead, her arms on her hips, looking at them angryly. Kiba was in scrubs, not in his usual grey pants and fur-lined coat. He had a sour expresion on his face.“And what happened to your clothes?”
“My last paitent was a little girl with a stomach ace. She ended up puking on me.” Kiba said as he let go of the Nara and closed the door after Akamaru. Sakura cringed when she imagined it in her mind. With his strong sense of smell it must have not been pleasent. “Sleeping beauty was in the changing room.” he adds, dropping himself down on a chair.
“what a drag” Shikamaru murmurs under his breath but sits down too. He didn’t calculate Kiba having to shower when choosing where to hide from them this time.
“Let’s just continue where we left of” Sakura casts, remembering her first time going home covered in bodily fluids.
“you better not slack off this time. Tsunade-sama is giving us a test next week.” Neji commented over his shoulder. The other two boys collectively groaned. What a fun time…
