Intro
Shikamaru Nara was busy at his favorite pastime. Sitting under a tree staring at the sky, wondering what he should do next. Shikamaru's problem however, was that no matter how long he sat and thought nothing ever really came to mind. So he would spend hours in the same spot until he had to go to work or until somebody came to fetch him. Not a very fulfilling days work for a genius, huh?
Today was different though. Usually he thought of nothing at all. Today his thoughts kept straying back to Sakura Haruno. He just didn't know why he had become so attracted to her all of a sudden. And it wasn't that she wasn't attractive. Shikamaru had to admit that she was probably one of the sexiest women in Kahona Village. But he knew he'd better not say it aloud. Not if he wanted to keep his personals intact. If Ino got word of his thoughts on Sakura, he was a dead man. Frankly Ino had no say in who he dated, but she was scary, especially if anybody said that Sakura was the prettier of the two. Just the fact that he was attracted to anybody was something else. Shikamaru had never really showed any signs that he was attracted to anybody.
