Kankurou let himself into the
Kazekage's office right after Neji and Hinata collected Shikamaru. Gaara hadn't
bothered to show, so Hinata had given Kankurou a letter for him to give Gaara
and left with her jounin cousin. If they noticed the limp Shikamaru had, neither Konoha ninja
said a word.
As he predicted, Gaara was up to
his insomniac eyeballs in reports and requests, glaring at his brother.
"I come in peace, oh great one."
"Urusai." Gaara snapped. "What's
that?"
Kankurou tossed him the letter and
set to pacing.
"It's from Hokage-sama, or so says
Hinata."
Gaara gave his brother and then the
envelope a murderous look before moving to open the letter, crumbling the
missive in his fist.
"What's got your panties riding
your ass?" Kankurou questioned, and dodged the sand powered paper wad aimed at
his head.
"There's a wedding taking place in Konoha. We have been... cordially invited to attend."
Kankurou stopped, and stared at his
brother. "Who's getting married? Why do we have to go? Do we have to go?" He asked warily.
Gaara's kohl-rimmed eyes met his
brother's dark green, face carefully blank.
"That bad, huh?"
"No one's ever told you you're an
idiot, have they?"
"No one's ever told you you're a
depressive homicidal insomniac, huh?"
Gaara's eyes narrowed. "Apparently, Asuma and Kurenai are getting married."
Kankurou's world stopped. "Oh-kay...
then why are you all moody? And I'm not an idiot."
"Yes you are. And yes, we have to go. Apparently, the Hokage believes it would be a show of good faith and a show of strength for both Konohagakure and Sunagakure with that treaty we have."
"Ah..."
"And you, Kankurou, will be
escorting me. Along with Temari."
Kankurou's face paled behind the
Kabuki paint and he glared at his brother. "What? Perhaps you don't remember
the last time Temari and I were together. I put her in the hospital."
"I know. And her medical expenses
have come out of your jounin pay." Gaara's familiar homicidal grin appeared as
he rose from the chair and circled around the desk to stand before his elder
brother. "You had sex with Shikamaru."
"How'd you- no I didn't."
"You left the sheet for the maids
to find." Gaara replied, enjoying watching the puppeteer squirm. "You liked it
didn't you?"
"No I-" Kankurou glared at his
brother and finally deflated. "Yeah. Does that mean I'm gay?"
"No." Gaara watched the elder relax
and decided to yank the carpet out from under the jounin's feet. "Are you still
thinking about it?"
"Yeah," Kankurou bit out, not
liking where this was leading.
"Can you not stop thinking about
him?"
"Gaara, dammit, tell me!"
Gaara grinned. "You, dear, Nii-san,
are in love."
Kankurou slammed his fist into his
brother's grinning face, and howled as the sand shield nearly broke his
fingers.

By the time Shizune had finished
giving him his examination, he was tired of doctors. Thankfully, he was friends
with a blonde whirlwind named Ino who had tricked Rock Lee into chasing out the
medical ninja who were crowded in Shikamaru's room. She'd told Lee Sakura had
asked her to tell him to do that. And Lee, not one to refuse the requests of
his future wife, quickly complied.
"Thanks Ino." Shikamaru whimpered,
knowing the next visitor was to be the Hokage herself.
"My pleasure." Ino replied, folding
her hands behind her head. "Doctors freak me out, too."
"Yeah, well."
"I know. How troublesome, right?"
Shikamaru smiled and nodded,
sitting on the examination table. Ino moved to sit beside him and tilted her
head to look in her friend's face.
"So you really..."
"Uh-huh."
"And he..."
"Mm-hmm."
"Do you love him?"
Shikamaru tensed a little. Did he
love Kankurou? The elder ninja had helped him through the night, but after that
taste of pleasure, things seemed to have gotten worse. He couldn't stand to
have anyone touch him, he only wanted
Kankurou, and he tolerated Ino's proximity because she only exuded a friendly
air and kept minimal distance.
"My body does." Shikamaru said quietly.
"If he comes here, would you let
him in again?"
"Yeah. Is that love?"
"Or stupidity." Ino replied. "But,
yeah, I guess so. I think love is that feeling of completeness you get when
you're just in that person's presence, and you hate to leave them."
"Then I guess I'm in love."
"Guess you are." Ino's gaze flicked
to the door. "You coming to Kurenai-sensei and Asuma-sensei's wedding?"
"I'm not passing up a chance to see
Kurenai-sensei in a dress or Asuma-sensei without a cigarette."
"Well," Tsunade began as she
entered the room, Sakura, Shizune and another medical ninja in tow, "You're not
leaving here unless you're cured."
"Aw, Tsunade-sama! How can you
deprive anyone of seeing Asuma-sensei and Kurenai-sensei's wedding?" Ino complained, echoed by Sakura. The Hokage rubbed the bridge of her
nose, eyes closing against the kunoichis pleading faces.
"Fine. But he'd better be
accompanied." The Godaime conceded and the two girls grinned at each other. Ino
gave the elder woman a victory sign.
"I won't leave his side!"
"I was thinking Chisuru here,"
Tsunade gestured at the unfamiliar medic, "but I suppose two pairs of eyes
would be better than one."
"Considering Shikamaru-san's
condition," Chisuru spoke up, "it would be best to have Ino-san accompanying
myself and Shikamaru-san."
Tsunade gave the smaller woman a
precursory look and nodded before turning her attention on Shikamaru.
"According to Chisuru, only sex or
bloodletting will cure you," Tsunade told her chuunin gopher. "Or else you'll
end up wasting away and dying."
"I'm not fucking anyone and I'm not
killing anything." Shikamaru replied. "I want to eat and then I'm going to
sleep."
"Shikamaru, this is your life at
stake here." Sakura tried to plead, but Shikamaru merely glared at the three
medics. Ino risked her hand when she grabbed Shikamaru's and began to pull him
from the room.
"He's had a hard few weeks,
Tsunade-same," Into said cheerfully, throwing the other woman off guard. "I'll
get him fed and he can nap. We can talk about other stuff later. Ja ne!"
The pair was gone before Tsunade
could order them back. Grumbling, she left the room, Sakura and Shizune right
behind her. Chisuru stayed for a moment, tapping her lips. Events had taken a
very interesting turn. Nearly gloating, Chisuru waltzed from the room and out
of the hospital, vanishing from view when she reached a shaded place. She
reappeared just outside the village border, and glared in the direction of two
withered trees.
"You failed." Chisuru began. "But I
will forget this. It will be remedied. I expect you to be ready."
Silence greeted her, but by then
Chisuru had vanished back into Konoha to follow her charge.
