23You guys really cheered me up with your reviews. But, uh, I think your username was critick, just to let you know, you're not as funny as you think you are. When I saw that The Prime Minister and Crow-Sensei reviewed, I almost died happy. I love you guys and I loved all of your suggestions! Thank you!
Dear Diary,
I woke up in Shikamaru's room yesterday. Not much fun. I freaked out, especially when Shikamaru's mom came in and raised an eyebrow. I said a hasty goodbye and ran off. I forgot to thank Shika.
It takes too long to write his whole name out every single time.
I hope he isn't rubbing off on me. I think he's changed a bit. He gets off his ass and actually works more often and complains less (but not by much).
Oh yeah, the jounin party last night was great! There was music, dancing, karaoke, and the food was really good. I think I ate half as much as Chouji did, and that is a lot. No offense to Chouji, of course.
I remember the time when Shikamaru became a jounin. That party was just plain awesome. It's probably going to be in those history textbooks at the Academy.
I danced with almost everyone (Shika refused).
Don't really know why Shika even bothered to come. Must be some team thing.
Sincerely,
Ino
Dear Journal,
Mom found out I wasn't writing in this and blew up. I've been half-deaf for quite a while now. The party last night didn't help either.
Ino wanted me to dance with her, but I refused.
Wouldn't you be nervous? I mean, dancing with a girl that, well, has certain features on her body now that she's grown up (somewhat)?
Not to mention the fact she's already had some suitors lately. Good thing she turned them all down.
You know, it was kind of strange to have Ino pop in through my window and ask to stay the night.
To be honest, I didn't really mind. Weird.
Annoyed and bored,
Shikamaru
Dear Diary,
Naruto stayed the night about two nights ago. I guess he was really tired because as soon as we came home, he collapsed on my bed and started to snore. It was loud. And I mean, really loud.
I remembered from a kunoichi lesson a long time ago that when your boyfriend or husband or brother begins to snore loudly, there was one technique that could stop it.
Stop Snore no Jutsu.
It's a really corny and stupid name, I know, but it works really well. I fell asleep peacefully.
But then Ino interrupted. She almost broke my door, and it was new. Lee broke it last time. That guy seriously needs to give up. I already have a boyfriend and maybe a new husband soon... But that's just me. We're really taking things slow.
I turned Ino down when she said she wanted some help with her dress that night. It would've been kind of awkward if Naruto and I started to, you know, fool around and she was just downstairs or something.
I made it up to her the next day. I brought some money for ice cream and her new dress. It was really fun, almost like the old times.
The jounin party was a blast.
Love,
Sakura
Dear Journal,
I argued with Akamaru about this whole journal thing, but Akamaru won.
Anyway, I'm kinda concerned about Hinata. She's been kinda down lately, ever since Sakura and Naruto got together. Neji sorta threatened me and Shino that if she didn't cheer up soon, he'd kick our asses into next week.
It's possible he could kick our asses into next week, and that's why I gotta go soon. Me and Shino are going to make some plans to cheer Hinata up. Besides, she's like a sister to me or something like that. I can't let her be all depressed and stuff.
Akamaru told me that I love her the other way, but I'm not sure. You can't fall in love at first sight, that's what I think. Nee-chan likes to read those kinds of books though. She says it's "romantic."
Whatever,
Kiba
Uh… I hope you guys enjoyed this. I'm not too sure and I feel sorta nervous. Oh yeah, I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! Constructive criticism and suggestions are welcome!
