[Raku]

<sup>[Word Count 102]

Raku was lying down on her back, facing the sky. Large billowing white clouds passed overhead, as the sun began to set. The clouds had began to turn pink and purple hues, as Raku watched happily. Her eyers bright, amazed at the sight. She now understood what drew Shikamaru to watch the sky so much. The sky began to dim, as the clouds' hue darkened. She sighed lightly, happy to get away. Her hands were no behind her head, and she lightly rested her eyes. Drifting into the lightest sleep, her attention lightly drifting away.</sup>

Shikamaru watched Raku fall asleep as he was lying down in a tree not to far from where she was then he started gazing at the clouds like he usually does whining to himself wishing that he was a cloud not having to worry about anything and just drift away then he thought the downside of being a cloud not seeing all of his friends especially Raku then a little smile when across his face and thinking atleast there would be no more Ino then he got drowsy and his eyes started slowly closing as he fell asleep.

Raku's eyes fluttered open as she sensed Shikamaru's chakra near her. She sat up with a yawn, grinning evilly. An idea came to mind, and she grew a wolf tail from her evil plan. It quickly disappeared, as she appeared in the same branch as Shika was in. She grew claws quickly, and lightly let them prick his arm. "Rawr!" She screamed loudly.</sup>

Raku smirked as she leaped down beside him. "Good morning Shika kun!" She spoke in a sing song voice. Her pink streaked hair hanging messily in her face. She let her claws turn back to normal finger nails as she sat beside her friend. She looked back up at the stars, watching the sky begin to illuminate with stars. The moon began to shine from behind one of the clouds. Raku looked up in wonder, before glancing down to Shika. A deep smirk still on her face, wondering what he would say next.</sup>

“Good morning Raku"he said in more of a moan then his usual tone of voice. He sat up feeling the bump on his head from the fall of the tree. Then he gazed up at the stars. “How long was I asleep all I remember was the clouds here earlier” he said. Then he crossed his legs put his left elbow on his left knee and his left hands knuckles on his left cheek looking like his knuckles were supporting his head.Then he took a glance at Raku then started looking at the stars again.

Raku grinned happily, watching him. She thought for a moment, "I don't really know..I fell asleep too. I just woke up as well!" Her tone was kind, unlike her normal tone. Though it was normal around Shikamaru to have a kind tone. She looked at Shikamaru with a tilted head, almost like a lost puppy. "Why would it matter how long you were asleep, Shika kun?" She asked questioningly. A small tail grew, as it wagged lightly from her happiness. She grinned sheepishly noticing the tail, yet having no way to make it go away.</sup>

[Ransu]

Then he sat up and noticed her tail. Then he just stared at it with a bored look. "Why are you so happy was it because I was in pain" he said looking back at Raku with a slight smile. Then he got up and stretched then he felt the bump on his head again. " I can't believe you gave me bump this big" he said. "I think it's a new record".

Raku grinned happily, "I'm happy because I haven't seen you in awhile!" She looked at him with caring eyes, before a giggled passed through her vocals. "I'll have to remember that new record so I can write it down." She spoke still giggling lightly. Her eyes looked up to the sky lightly, watching the stars as a light wing blew. She sighed lightly, and blushed lightly. "Sorry about your head..." She spoke still blushing. She leaned over and kissed him lightly on the cheek. "Feel better now?" She asked blushing deeply. Luckily since it was night he couldn't see how red her face had turned. She grinned sheepishly, her tail wagging happily.</sup>

[Ransu]

As Raku kissed him he had a slight blush across his face. "Yeah now I feel much better" he said putting his hand behind his head and the other one in his pocket. Then he noticed her tail wagging faster then it was before. Then he helped Raku up onto her feet and her face shone in the moonlight and he saw her blush was a very deep red which made his blush even a deeper red.
