Intro-Thanks for all your words of encouragement on my first ever fanfiction of the none other than the InoxShika couples to those of you all who left very nice and positively encouraging comments! This may sound corny but your comments has made me to work up another idea! So here you go! Enjoy! D
Shikamaru Nara was a less active but has a very strong cerebellum shinobi. Ever since he was five years old he understood many things that accompanied life. Such as tactics, forms of expressions, and common sense. But one thing in life that he didn't understand was woman. Eh...one woman in particular, Ino Yamanaka.
Just last week Ino asked if Shikamaru liked Sasuke and if he wanted to help her and Sakura set up a party for Sasuke-kun for his 15th birthday and because she and the Haruno has agreed to become er...friends instead of biting-heads-of-rivals.
Flashback
"Shika-kun! Shika-kun!" cried the happy voice running towards him.
Shikamaru sighed of stress. "Nani?"
"Next week it's Sasuke-kun's Birthday!"
"..."
"So...if you want you can come help me and forehead girl."
"No. Sorry Ino, I'm not interested on Uchiha's birthday. And man, he is getting old!" laughed Shikamaru with a chuckle.
At moment Ino's head was getting hot and turning into angry mode, "SHI-KA-MA-RU! HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT? SASUKE-KUN IS STILL YOUTHFUL AND OF COURSE YOU SHOULD HELP BECAUSE FROM NOW ON IT'S NOT A MATTER OF CHOICE ANYMORE." finished Ino managing to squeeze all the words into one loud-killing-Shikamaru-when-turning-into-angry-mode sentence.
Tensing her knuckles Ino gave Shikamaru a hard punch on the left shoulder as of finishing her sentence and started heading home.
Ends Flashback
Ehhh, this sucks alot. Not only do I DISLIKE the Uchiha but this bossy female had ordered me to go help arrange the party at the Academy and I HAVE TO get him a present. Oh well, better enjoy me living today and tormorrow morning while I still can.
"Morning Shikamaru. Knowing you sulking that there's something going on right?" asked a fat...I mean chubby figure.
Looking up to see that it was Chouji instead of the dictator of his humanic rights he finally gave a sigh of relief and replied, "Three words Chouji: Ino. Uchiha. Birthday."
"Oh ouch. Got forced again?" Chouji asked sarcastically raising an eyebrow at Shikamaru.
Sighing for the second time in five minutes Shikamaru just lefted up his netting shirt sleeve revealing muscular well tanned biceps and a darkish purplish-bluish bruise on top of it.
"Ooooooooh. I got an invite too. Ino asked if I can help too but I've got this A ranked mission with Shino, Neji, Kiba, and Asuma on that day. So I don't have to go."
Arrr, Chouji you lucky little...
"Pfft. Lucky."
"Man you gotta cheer up. It won't be that bad since Ino's there right?"
"Yeah...probably drooling over her beloved Sasuke-kun."sulked Shikamaru. "Sasuke Sasuke Sasuke. Oooooh." mimicked Shikamaru trying to imitate his dictator.
KABAM
"Ow..." cried Shikamaru rubbing his head.
Ino blew a whisp of air over her red knuckled from punching Shikamaru's head and started sharpening her kunai near a tree that's quite a distance from the two guys.
"What the hell did you do that for?" yelled Shikamaru still splattered on the ground.
"Well..." Ino began with her death glare.
"...IF YOU TRY TO SOUND LIKE ME THEN DO A BIT BETTER CAUSE THAT SERIOUSLY SUCKED! AND..."
"Shikamaru my friend, you're in trouble now." Chouji whispered under his breath.
"AND YOU NEVER HAD TO HELP ME WITH SASUKE-KUN'S PARTY IN THE FIRST PLACE! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO THEN FINE!"
"WHAT? YOU FORCED ME OUT OF MY WILL TO HELP IN THE FIRST PLACE AND YOU MADE ME GET THE STUPID GUY A PRESENT! UGH I DON'T GET YOU AT ALL!"
"SASUKE IS NOT STUPID! YOU ARE! FINE BE THAT WAY! YOU NEVER UNDERSTOOD ME ANYWAYS!
"At least he tried." added Chouji silently as he continued staring at the two.
"Hmp!" they both replied turning their back to each other.
Just then the lazy and confused Asuma came along. He first looked back and forth at Shikamaru and Ino. Then looked at Chouji sitting on the ground. It's either a tornado hit here or Ino's gone into anger mode. Wait...she is the tornado.
"Ahem." Asuma cleared his throat to get his students' attention. They all glared at him.
"Today team, we will practise targetting to improve on your accuracy."
Ino smirked, "Is Shikamaru the target?"
Shikamaru growled at her.
"No." Asuma replied. "You all are."
