The Untouchables
A Naruto/ShikaIno Story
Chapter 1
Ino Yamanaka was tired.
Scratch that sore AND tired. Having just arrived back from a two month mission to Suna who wouldn't be? Along with that, being attacked on the way to and from Suna then having to report it all to the fifth Hokage Tsunade (she just loves the little details) and life just got a lot more complicated.
Ino sat down hard on her bed stretching before lying back with a sigh. On the plus side, at least she didn't need to listen to Temari yapping on about kami knows what to Shikamaru, whilst ignoring Ino 24/7.
Ino was just about to give in to the much needed beauty sleep she'd been deprived of. When somebody knocked on her apartment door. She stood us with a groan, cursing under her breath.
Her apartment was a decent size for a kunoichi like herself, including a living room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom all a moderate size, although she had been getting complaints from Chouji about not having a guest room, but considering the only person that ever slept over was Sakura and all they did was stay up all night eventually falling asleep on the living room floor, there really was no need.
She reached the front door opening it roughly. The scowl she was wearing quickly slipped into a smile as she saw Chouji at the door holding a bag of what looked suspiciously like food. She quickly ushered him in taking the bag as he passed.
"As much as I want to stay Ino, you're gonna have to take your share, I need to give the rest to Shikamaru, you're not my only friend you know." Chouji said a smile on his face, swiftly grabbing the bag before heading to her kitchen.
He placed the bag on the counter pulling out three or four containers. "So how was the mission? It was longer than most." He questioned.
Ino let out a groan. "Don't get me started. It's hard enough having to stay in that hell hole of a place, I mean come on. No place should to be that hot! But on top of that having to listen to Temari flirt with pineapple head, and nobody gets anything done. Why do you think the mission was extended?"
Chouji let out a chuckle having laid out the a plate food for her, and placing the rest into her fridge he headed towards her door, a half full brown bag in his hand. "Someone sounds jealous." He teased trying to cheer her up.
"Ha! Jealous yeah right." She replied shaking her head.
"Well I gotta go deliver this to lover boy. I'll see you tomorrow at the usual place. Don't be late, Shikamaru's paying and take a shower you stink." Chouji winked before dashing out of the apartment.
She glared at the now shut door. She would have chased after him and beaten him to the ground. That is if she had the energy but instead she dropped it making a mental note to get back at him later, before heading to the kitchen. Ino grabbed the ready made plate of food and sat on the counter slowly eating the food, not having the energy to enjoy Chouji's delicious cooking. She finished the meal and placed the plate in the kitchen sink, before grabbing one of Shikamaru's old shirts left there over the years and a pair of boy shorts, then heading to the bathroom for one of her famous 1 hour showers.
Shikamaru Nara was having a pretty good day.
After arriving back from his mission to Suna he was happy to be back, which was shown with the small smirk he was now wearing. Yeah sure Suna had a nice sky but nothing could beat Konoha's clouds. After reporting back to the Hokage Shikamaru was relaxing in his usual spot eyes half-open, arms folded behind his head and legs spread apart. Not tired one bit. Unlike his blonde teammate. He had mastered the art of sleeping with eyes open, whilst standing and being able to sleep anywhere, meaning that his lazy nature actually gave him a lot of energy... That he liked to spend on cloud watching.
He closed his eyes. Being one of Konoha's strongest shinobi as well as being the fifth Hokage's advisor, chief tactician and the heir of the Nara Clan you would expect him to be warn out, which he usually was. Not sleeping at especially hard times and not eating until all his work was done. That was Shikamaru's way, no-one agreed with it, and he had to deal with the constant nagging from Ino and Chouji about him being 'Under weight', not to mention the threats he'd been receiving from his mother. He shivered.
Shikamaru was suddenly brought out of his daydream as a weight settled on his chest, or three weights to be exact, he slowly opened one eye staring lazily at the three small genin sitting on him.
"Shikamaru-sensei." A boy with perfectly styled, straight shoulder length hair whined. "When do we start training? We've been out of action for ages. Chouji's group are fun but we want you to teach us."
"Yeah! Jiro is right!" Taro Hayashi the boys brother said, combing his had through his hair, pushing up his hair and making sure that it stayed up. "We wanna know about your mission and your alone time with Ino-cha-! OW! Saburo Why?!" Taro exclaimed staring at the boy who hit him in disbelief.
"We're not supposed to be asking about classified missions." The third boy explained while he put his afro comb into his pocket, after on more fluff up of his afro. "You should know this already..." He trailed off.
Shikamaru closed his eye. Having Genin in general was troublesome enough but having to deal with three boys, which you don't get that to often, and finding out they were all brothers in the same year meaning triplets made Shikamaru think that life liked to fuck with him. not to mention they were all unnaturally obsessed with their hair. Wait a second... maybe that's why they bonded so well with Ino, he thought.
He sighed and sat up, shoving the three of his lap. He yawned then stretched himself out like a cat. "Guys come on. What happened to my one day rest?" He said wondering when they became so eager.
"It ran away when it saw these three coming up the hill." A deep voice said, followed by a chuckle.
"Ah... Troublesome." Shikamaru murmured. He got up walking swiftly toward Chouji, grabbing the bag of food he was carrying, much like Ino did and walking past him down the hill.
"You're welcome! Don't forget tomorrow at Yakiniku, don't be late. Your paying!" Chouji shouted after him, receiving a raised hand as acknowledgement. He shook his head looking at the three genin still standing there with bored looks on their faces. Like Sensei like genin chouji thought adopting a small smile.
Shikamaru smirked as he walked away, glad that he was out of that situation. He walked on heading towards his apartment dreading what would happen tomorrow. Paying for him, Chouji and Ino was bad enough but he had a feeling that the whole gang would be there. There went next weeks food shopping. He sighed suddenly tired, finally coming to a decision that sleep would be better than food right now.
He slowly opened the door to his apartment and made his way to his bedroom, crawling into his bed and falling asleep instantly.
Author Note:
And Scene...
If you're wondering. Yes. Taro, Jiro and Saburo are the triplets from Black Bird the manga (love them soo much xD they're fun to mess around with), but considering their not really 'Main characters' there wouldn't really be a point in putting this story under crossover.
Hope you enjoyed the first chapter more to come soon!
