[Shikamaru's a hard man to find after this (on-going) thread.
He doesn't return to his apartment until the next morning, through the spare bedroom and not the front door. It's doubtful anyone else will catch him outside of his own floor for the next several days, though he always has his journal on him.
Those days are also partially spent tracking down Tony Stark, Law, Itachi, Gold, Silver, and a few others in his building to warn them about Hidan. Masaomi will no doubt hear from him when he gets back, and Riku may have learned what he needs to know from Ino before Shikamaru gets to him, but they're both on the list. He'll also be visiting the Avatar house for a few people in particular, but given that's half the house he won't be shunning anyone else he runs into there.]

... and afterwards, what do you plan to do? You're going to be target number one... not that I see you having any problem with his bead on you.
no subject
[Nor would he really want to.]
no subject
I'm determined not to let him find that out by doing. If that keeps more of his attention on me, so be it.

But if there's anyone who could handle having his focus, it's Shikamaru-san. It'd be best if he focused on no one, but until then Shikamaru-san knows more about him than anyone.

It's not like he hasn't thought - and planned - for these things.]

But he decides to let it go before it nags at him the entire day. Concern is fine, but what he's feeling is probably excessive and it's time to nip it in the bud. So before it reaches his eyes, he stuffs it down to deal with later.]
... better than someone who doesn't know what they're facing. [There is one good comfort in this. Shikamaru has people who won't allow him to handle it alone.] Let's hope he doesn't stray from his pit too long.

Thankfully, he isn't likely to go after anyone who can't fight back unless he gets particularly riled up for some reason.
[Hidan was a lunatic, but at least he was a somewhat manageable lunatic.]
no subject
He sighs almost soundlessly and lets it go, dropping some tension from his posture. He intended that conversation with Hidan to be public anyways, so it's not like he should care. He's being too sensitive and overthinking things.]
That's my thought on the matter as well. I won't be making a warning over the journals for that reason. Only the people who'd be afraid to fight him would listen, and if they all avoid him at once that'd just annoy him.
[But if word spreads around slowly like this, and he can be seen judged for his own behavior, he'll likely revel in it and leave him be. Or so is the plan.]
Either way, when he tries to start something he won't get very far.
no subject
... no. That'll be the point where you'll take him on.
[Inevitable.]
