Gossip

"Heard you had an accident," Kankuro declares with a leer.

"Tch, it wasn't an accident," Shikamaru states warily.

"You just say that but the truth is—it was an accident," Kankuro persistently and grinningly insinuates.

"It was a planned and calculated move," Shikamaru insists with his usual calm voice.

"You're no fun, man! Why don't you just admit it was an accident?" Kankuro's more exasperated than leering now.

"I've never thought you'd be this happy once you've heard this piece of gossip anyway." Shikamaru looks at Kankuro. "So what have you heard?"

"That you knocked up some woman." Kankuro laughs. "They described her as a sexy blonde bombshell you know." Kankuro leers again, "But I call her dumb blonde since she allowed herself to be treated like that by you."

Shikamaru stares at Kankuro blankly but inwardly he's thinking, Oh shit!

"So you finally score with Ino! Good for you man!" Kankuro shouts his approval.

Shit! Shit! Shit! "So that's what you've heard?" Shikamaru asks calmly.

"Not really. But I've got brains. I could put you and your team mate together and what do we got? An accident waiting to happen!" Kankuro guffaws loudly.

"No matter what you'll hear later, Kankuro, bear in mind, it wasn't an accident. It was planned. The plan might seem like an... an idiot have come up with it but trust me, it's a brilliant plan." Shikamaru is frowning and still silently cursing. He slowly starts to walk backwards.

"What the hell are you babbling on about? Man, I don't care about your plans about your kid," Kankuro scoffs in irritation.

When Shikamaru is a good three metres away from Kankuro, he announces, his voice louder that usual, "Well, you should! The dumb blonde is your sister!" When Shikamaru notices that Kankuro just gawks at him, he adds, trying to suppress his smirk, "Don't worry I won't tell her that you called her stupid."

"NARA!" Kankuro growls.
