Chapter 5: The Shogi Game
Shikamaru sighed. Asuma’s game was appallingly bad tonight, and his mind was so clearly elsewhere, there would be no point in playing another. From an earlier conversation with his old sensei, Shikamaru had learned how close Asuma had been to Chiriku, the monk whose body had been taken by Akatsuki for a bounty, as close as Shika had been to his old teammate Chouji. Even if neither Asuma or Shika had taken those friendships to the level of lovers like Kotetsu and Izumo were likely doing right now, just seeing those two together was no doubt only adding to Asuma’s pain. Asuma wasn’t even smoking, which was pretty terrifying since he had been chain smoking for as long as Shikamaru had known him, but on the other hand, giving up smoking was a good thing.
Shikamaru had hoped this little pause in the mission would not only settle down the two members of the team now upstairs, but also give Asuma a little time too. It was troublesome that his old sensei couldn’t even focus on Shogi. But, hell, it was pretty obvious that a man with a bounty of eight million ryou on his body had other things to think about than a board game. But the most troublesome thing wasn’t the fact that the game wasn’t a challenge, but rather that it would be over in just four more moves at most. And that was really too soon to head up to Room 201 unless he wanted to listen to what was going on in Room 200. He had a bad feeling that Asuma would really be catching him with his hands in pants if they headed upstairs so quickly after Izumo and Kotetsu. The two of them were pretty hot to watch, and the twisted dynamics of their relationship made for interesting speculation.
Asuma cursed as the game didn’t make it to four more moves. He took a drink from his glass and then abruptly said, “Shikamaru, just go up and monitor them; I’m worried about things getting to the broken bone point, and I want a full team tomorrow. God, I hope your right about this working.”
Shikamaru thought about listening to the two ninjas alone upstairs and shook his head, “No, they’ll be fine. You want to know, you go.”
Asuma looked flustered, “Yea, but you know more about bi-guys than me; hell, I’d started this mission half-believing they were straight.”
Shikamaru gave Asuma an incredulous stare, then said, “Why do you think they are bisexual?”
It was Asuma’s turn to look confused, “Well, hell, for one thing, they both were interested in Ino enough to at least get naked with her even though nothing happened because they wouldn’t share, and, secondly, Izumo told me before you came in that Kotetsu had sex with a women in front of him the last time they were at this hotel.”
Shikamaru burst into laughter. When Asuma didn’t join in and still looked puzzled, he said, “Come on, Asuma, you really think a naked and willing Ino is going to be turned down by anyone except a gay guy? And if they were bi, Ino would have had that threesome she’s been wanting; before that whole thing, I thought they could be bi, but that was the confirmation against it.”
“But what about this supposed straight sex tryst of Kotetsu’s that had quiet Izumo going he-man out in the lobby? It seems clear they’ll be fighting about who’s on top tonight.”
“Not likely! You’ve seen how much skill Kotetsu’s been hiding—I can’t believe that Izumo would fall for the old clone/replication jutsu combo—he must have been able to make it last for more than a few minutes.” Shika pushed out his lips and screwed up his eyes as he considered that.
Asuma shook his head in disgust, objecting, “I know every academy rookie tries that as soon as he can handle both jutsus, but to try to pull it off in front of a friend is pretty f-ing sick.” When the younger ninja said nothing, Asuma, gave a sigh and said, “Oh man, those two are so messed up they are starting to make Itachi look sane. No wonder they’ve only just recently started doing it.”
“Yea, recently, like twenty minutes ago. I’ll bet you they were both virgins if we don’t count clone sex.”
“Virgins!” said Asuma in a voice that was a little too loud and drew a few looks. “I’d take that bet, but there’s no way we could prove it.”
“Yea, you’re right. But it will be fun to see if Kotetsu held out long enough for Izumo to give him what he wants.”
“Hmm, I don’t know, who is going to end up on top. I was thinking Kotetsu, but after that scene with Izumo . . .”
Shikamaru sighed and said, “Asuma, I think your worries about finding Chiriku’s body and Akatsuki are blinding you to some pretty obvious things. The whole reason Kotetsu and Izumo haven’t been together sexually for years is they are both needy submissive bottoms fighting it out for who gets that coveted spot below, and they’ve been savoring all the pain and denial of the long prelude.”
Asuma thought about it, and his face showed sudden enlightenment, “Oh, wow, yea, that makes sense, I think. So if they were two dominant types, they would just duke it out, and they wouldn’t have had a problem with Ino. But still, if they’re totally gay, that alone explains the whole Ino thing. But, come on, needy submissive bottoms? That seems a little extreme and that face-sucking scene in the lobby doesn’t quite jar with that. Are you sure you’re reading them right?”
“You’ve met my parents, Asuma,” asked Shikamaru dryly with a scowl. “Living with my dad, I recognize the type that would rather let some else run the show. It makes sense they would refuse leadership positions, be happy working under the Hokage, and not argue one bit no matter how many lame low-rank missions they get assigned. As for the lobby scene, most masochists know enough to be able to play the sadist on occasion.”
“So the top dog is the one on the bottom with the sore ass in the morning, eh? That’s so messed up.”
“Yea, but I figure getting your kicks out of self-denial and restraint means that once they get rid of their virginity, they’ll be back to normal—well as normal as they ever are.”
“Virgins, my ass,” said Asuma and then suddenly started laughing, “Oh my god, we got to send them to Ibiki. ”
“Dumb idea, cause Ibiki’s whole squad is going to have their hands full dealing with the scum we capture.”
“Oh shit, I’m going to turn in and trust I’ll have a whole team in the morning. The more rest we get the better.”
“Ok,” responded Shikamaru standing up to go, “but if it’s too noisy, I’m going to have to wack off or take a cold shower.”
“You know, Shika, there is such a thing as too much information.”
“Not for team leaders.”
And as the two moved out of the restaurant, Asuma groaned, “I have the bad feeling it is going to be a long night.”
“Yea,” said Shika, “but breakfast should be pretty entertaining. I don’t think Kotetsu is going to have quite gotten what he wanted, however.”
“So you think Kotetsu’s going to fine, and Izumo’s going to be the one sitting carefully?”
“Yup,” said Shika as they hit the stairs.
“No way, it will be Kotetsu who will be hurt if anyone—Izumo’s pretty pissed.”
“You want to bet on that sensei?”
As the former teacher and student pair settled into their room, they squabbled over the parameters of their little bet. Shikamaru wasn’t nearly as confident in his assessment of the lovers as he acted, but he was glad to see Asuma joking and smiling. He hadn’t seen the older ninja this upset since the death of the Third. Well, every cloud had its silver lining, and if Kotetsu and Izumo’s troubles would lighten Asuma’s own without putting him at risk, it was all good.
