Chapter 4: The Ending to End all Endings? or is it just the Beginning?

---

Shikamaru just got back from a mission yesterday and planed to spending most of the day cloud watching with a few naps in between. Looks that wouldn’t be so as an ANBU popped into view.

”The Hokage requests your presence in her office,” and with that he puffed back out of existence.

Shikamaru changed his path to the tower sighing to himself as he trudged though the streets. “Troublesome.”

---

Frankie, Bloo, and Tad were waiting around a tall red imaginary friend. Frankie scuffled her feet, Bloo bit his lip, and Tad straightened his tie for the tenth time as they watched Wilt carefully screw in the bulb.

“Done!” He exclaimed proudly stepping back so he wasn’t trampled by the trio who rushed past him and to the box.

----

Kakashi had carried Mac to the Hokage’s office piggy back style. The two, with Shikamaru, now stood in front of the big chested women and a big red desk.

The blond nodded to Kakashi, “You may leave now Kakashi. Go to the mission room for another assignment.”

“But I…” The man’s fingers twitched as he was interrupted by his superior.

“It wasn’t a request,” Kakashi politely bowed and left. Tsunade then turned a stern eye upon the pony tailed Chunin. “Shikamaru I want you to keep an eye on this boy until further notice. You will teach him our language and the basics of being a ninja.”

“But Old Lady,” Shikamaru looked at his Hokage as if she had grown another head. “What if this boy is a spy?”

Tsunade linked her fingers together before resting her chin on top of them. “Why do you think I placed him under the care of Kakashi when he first showed up? Believe me Shikamaru this boy is nothing more then a lost civilian. Now for him to survive he must learn our culture. You will teach him.”

“Yes, Tsunade-sama,” Shikamaru said bowing and leavening the room.

Mac stood confused before the lady behind the desk waved him away. He then bowed quickly before scurrying after Shikamaru having the oddest feeling that he was supposed to.

----

Tad turned the machine on and Bloo immediately jumped into button pushing and leaver pulling. Frankie stood next to Wilt and watched as the bulb began to glow.

----

Shikamaru waited for his charge and watched as Mac stumbled out the double doors. They stared at each other and Shikamaru gave a small nod, “Nara, Shikamaru.”

Mac nodded back, “Mac.” He then stuck his hand out for a shake but Shikamaru just stared at it. However, the older boy reluctantly took it in an uneasy grip.

----

Bloo pushed the last button, the giant red one. A flash, then…

“How troublesome.”
