Please… don't be too harsh it's my first story… I also don't own Naruto…

Shikamaru took a long walk around Konoha, and admired the shape the clouds were in. Everything had been so quiet for the last few weeks and Shikamaru was ready for another mission, but they were all D-ranked missions that were saved for the new Genin.

"Man… what a drag…" said Shikamaru as he sighed

Shikamaru saw the same old stuff… Naruto at the ramen shop… Sakura with Tsunade… Lee with Gai… TenTen at the target-

"TenTen isn't at the targets… she must have been kidnapped or something I better tell Tsunade!!" Shikamaru whispered to himself

He jumped the target practice fence and looked into the trees and saw Neji and TenTen making out… this also reminded Shikamaru of how lonely he was. Shikamaru had a lot of chances to get a girlfriend but was too shy to do anything.

"I could go out with Ino and catch her on the rebound while she is still recovering from breaking up with Shino, or I could try for that Temari girl from Suna… Ino would be a lot easier but I don't really know if I want a slut as a girlfriend. Temari on the other hand is pretty hot but would be a little harder to swoon…" Shikamaru thought

Shikamaru had a lot on his mind right now. He was tired of all his friends making fun of him for not having a girlfriend but he wasn't really sure if he wanted one yet or if he was ready. Shikamaru decided to talk to the guys about it, so he got them all together and told them what was on his mind.

"…so what do you guys think?" Shikamaru asked

"OH OH you should hook up with Hinata she's REALLY hot dattebayo!" Naruto said excitedly

"Numb nuts, you're going out with her." Kiba pointed out

"Oh yea I guess so… sorry Shikamaru I've got nothing for ya…" Naruto said

"I wasn't expecting much from you anyways Naruto." Shikamaru said lazily

"Shikamaru, I think you should go out with Temari." Kiba told Shikamaru

"Why do you say that Kiba?" Shikamaru wondered

"You're going to get into her pants way too fast and something will happen that you will regret for the rest of your life!" Kiba explained

Shikamaru laughed and said "Good point Kiba! You know what… I think I will ask Temari out… does anyone know when they come here next?" Shikamaru wondered

Garra appeared out of the shadows and stared at Shikamaru with pure hate in his eyes "I heard your conversation…" Garra said, still staring at Shikamaru

A giant fist of sand flew out of Garra's gourd and pushed Shikamaru into a building, neck first, and stuck Shikamaru there.

Garra slowly walked up to Shikamaru and told him "You want to go out with my sister… then you will have to pass the test…" Garra said in his creepy voice

"W-what COUGH what test?" Shikamaru spluttered

"Meet me by the targets… 5:00 sharp…" Garra threatened

Garra let Shikamaru down and walked away. Kiba ran up to Shikamaru and helped him up.

"Dude…you're screwed" Kiba said pointing out the obvious

Naruto was to busy cuddling with Hinata and listening to her lecture about "not forgetting about your girlfriend" to notice that Shikamaru was in deep crap. Hinata gave Naruto a kiss and walked back to the group.

"Sorry guys I was just- WOAH what happened to you Shikamaru?" Naruto said obliviously

"Put it this way Naruto… im boned…" Shikamaru said still gasping for breath

"EWWWWWW YOUR GAY!?!?!?!" Naruto said rather loudly

Kiba punched him in the balls and walked Shikamaru back to his house. Naruto still lying on the ground holding his jewels, yelled out to Hinata who was pretty far away now.

"OH MY GOD THEY BURN!!! JESUS!!! HINATA HELP ME!!!!"

Hinata came running over and asked what was wrong… Kiba just set Naruto up with a night of fun…
