Geniuses
Chapter Three


In concert with the new alliance between Sand and Leaf the three Sand Genins who had praticipated in the Chuunin Selection Exam had had gone to aid the somewhat faltering Leaf Genins, and Shikamaru, who were chasing after their comrade, Sasuke and four Sound nins. If they had just gone back to their desert after they had finished helping, Shikamaru wouldn't have had any problem with them, but no, they couldn't just go and leave him alone. What everything that much worse, was that Temari, who he had defeated in the Thrid Exam, just happened to have come to his aid, easily defeating the nin who had been giving him so much trouble.

Even more unfortunately, and undoubtly troublesome, was that now that Temari was here, she couldn't help from bothering him about how biased and opinionated he was. She never failed to bring up the point that the only reason he had actually fought her in the Chuunin Selection Exams was because he couldn't "lose to a women". She was offended by that and very free with what she felt about it. Shikamaru was almost wishing that Kaida was around so that he at least had some excuse to get away from her, but no, it couldn't be. Kaida was currently working on the Kage Mane no Jutsu which had obviously been the cause of her blindness after she finally broke down and told their family what had happened.

"What!? You're still having problems with that, I thought you were over that years ago. You even trained with your father for a week specifically to weed out that problem. We told you this would happen, be grateful you're only blind and not dead. Now, you're going to train with your father until your teamates return and you will participate in the next Chuunin Selection Exam." His father paled at the idea of more training with her with reckless girl, but Kaida jumoed up, red faced and outraged.

"You must be joking, Mother. You expect me to be a ninja still! With no sight?! What am I supposed to do, it's not I can see their shadows anymore. We all know that I'm lucky failure, the fact that I ever made Genin is a miracle in itself. You can't seriously be thinking that-"

"You are still heir, I will not allow you to disappoint your grandfather and shame the rest of the clan. And you seem to forget that you can still channel your chakra into other people and things. That's a useful technique and very few people know how it's done, it could be priceless on an endurance mission. End of discussion." Both women stormed out of the room, Kaida running into the door frame.

"Women are so troublesome. You can't not agree with me after seeing that, Papa." Shikamaru said after staring after his mother in a slightly fearful fashion. Why were all of the women in his clan so crazy, Haruno Sakura wasn't so bad, so long as Sasuke wasn't in sight.


Shikamaru sighed, letting Temari's rant roll over him as he continued to stare up at the couds. They were always so peaceful and they never had to deal with insane women never giving them a moment's rest. Half of his mind registered the sound of approaching feet coming from in fornt of Temari. Practically knowing who it was who had coem to join them, he didn't bother looking, just trying to enjoy the relative peace before-

"What are you still doing here, and harassing Shikamaru at that. That's my job, no one else has that right."

-Ino came along and brought the world down around him. He didn't know why she cared so much, why couldn't the blonde Sasuke fangirl just leave him alone, he would feel so much better that way, but no, everytime she was denied by him she had to come and take out her frustration on Shikamaru. Too bad for Ino that Temari had currently taken the position of annoying him and yelling until his ear bled. Why did everything always have to happen to him? He would have been fine as a Genin.

"You're hardly one to talk, girly. You have no rights over anything, you couldn't even make it to the main event of the Third Exam, let alone make a Chuunin. On top of that, you weren't even there when this fool went after that bastard Sasuke." Shikamaru sighed and brougth his hands up over his ears. Temari had just insulted Sasuke, things could only go down from here.

"How dare you insult-"

Here it was coming, Shikamaru just knew it. Ino was about to jump down the girl's throat and threaten her and- "-Shikamaru that way! If I'm not mistaken, he beat you in the Chuunin Exams Third event, so who do you think you are calling him a fool. He's the one who outwitted you." Shikamaru thought the world had ended and he sat up from his lying posistion watching the clouds and gave her a stupified look.

"But even more than that, calling Sasuke-kun a bastard is unforgiveable and I'm going to have to make you pay for that one." Shikamaru sighed and stood up completely. It seemed all was right in the world after all.

"This is why I hate women, they're all so troublesome."

The reason we know so little about Kaida is because it would ruin the plot if you all knew too much ahead of time. Thanks to twilight aura and shariku onikage. I really appreciate the real review.
