This is my first fanfic, so don't be cruel okay?
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO (if I did I would have already made ShikaIno a canon couple!)

Two Girls One Are Too Many
It was a warm autumn day, when Ino-Hime and her three four ladies-in-waiting, Hinata, Sakura and TenTen were in the royal gardens, they received a message from Queen Tsunade and King Deidara (AN: I know this is wrong) to go to the Throne room.
Later in the Throne Room
'WHAT?' screamed the 15 year old princess, 'Why the hell does Shikamaru have to go on my freakin' birthday?'
'It's not just Shikamaru going on this training mission, Sasuke, Naruto and Neji are also going on this mission…' said Queen Tsunade
'What the hell?' boomed Hinata (AN: I think she's high)
'Why my Naruto…let the other two go….not my Naruto!!' pleaded Hinata with anime tears.
While everybody sweat dropped TenTen remained silent, but obviously fuming.
There was a big racket, that was when King Deidara yelled 'If they succeed the mission, these Jonins will become ANBUs, which will give them a little bit more spare to be with you to do…G-d knows what!'
Ino, TenTen, Sakura and Hinata sadly nodded and left the throne room. However, Ino sadly sobbed, not only was her boyfriend not gonna be here for G-d knows how long, but he wasn't gonna be there to celebrate her birthday.
Later in Ino-Hime's Room
Ino jumped on the bed and started to throw pillows at the door, just as TenTen, Hinata and Sakura walked into the bedroom.
'It's so unfair' screamed Ino as she sobbed, 'Of all the seasons why MY birthday?!'
'But, don't you think Shikamaru feels just as sad and down as you, don't forget he's only born one day before you. He can't celebrate with you either.' Sakura pointed out.
'Bb-ut... III-nnno-saaa-ma, iitts o-o-o-k-a-y .' said Hinata in her normal stuttering tone.
TUT---TUT---TUT
Ino heard a noise by her window, when she opened the window, she say Shikamaru calling her to go down, 'Ino-sama, please come down…because I wanna tell you something.'
'What is it?' Ino asked
'Come down first,' Shikamaru said.
'Please tell me now,' with that, Ino did her puppy-dog pout face.
'Come down, troublesome woman,' muttered Shikamaru
'FIRST OF ALL, DON'T CALL ME INO-SAMA, SECOND OF ALL DON'T CALL ME TROUBLESOME YOU LAZY SHINOBI!' boomed Ino. Meanwhile Sakura, TenTen and Hinata covered their ears, trying to minimize the very harmful screech of Ino.
'Okay, I'll come down now,' screamed Ino. She closed the window and quickly ran down the marble staircase.
'I only wish Sasuke returns safely,' Sakura sighed, while brushing her hair.
'I'm sure Neji will come back, and then we'll get married!' said TenTen excitedly, looking at the really shiny and big diamond ring on her middle finger.
'When Naruto comes back, I'll prepare as many bowls of ramen as possible, and we will …' mumbled Hinata before she got interrupted by TenTen ' We don't want to hear what you want to do with Naruto in your spare time' said TenTen, half laughing half serious.
In the Royal Gardens with Ino and Shikamaru
'Um…Ino…uh…I… want… to… uh...' muttered Shikamaru (AN: Shika nervous!)
'Just promise me that you won't forget me, and I will love you and remember until you come back.' said Ino while holding Shikamaru's hand.
'I promise, Ino, I love you,' whispered Shikamaru into Ino's ear.
With that comment, leaned upwards, while Shikamaru moved aside her fringe, and held onto her waist, feeling the soft fabric of her sky-blue and white kimono, and pulled Ino in. Then he bent down and kissed Ino's soft lips.
Pulling away from the kiss that lasted for a non-stop of five minutes, Shikamaru sat down, and Ino lied on his chest, as they stared at the clouds, until nightfall, and gazed at stars, Ino's hobby.
( I originally planned on doing everybody's 'moment' but I'm to lazy and I am a 100 ShikaIno fan so I won't write…sorry Safirale no nejitenten yet)
The Next Morning, at the gates of Konoha
Neji hugged TenTen and slipped into her hands a even bigger diamond ring and whispered 'Wait for my return, you'll stay in my heart.'
Sasuke put his hand under Sakura's chin and wiped away her tears, and pulled her in for a kiss, and said in a romantic hush tone 'We can do that everyday when I come back, I love you.'
Naruto went to Hinata and held her hand and kissed it. He whispered to her 'Last night was amazing, wait for me, I'll treat to a bowl of ramen the minute I come back!'
'Even though a bowl of ramen may not seem much to others, I know he means his best' thought Hinata as a faint of pink spread across her cheeks.
'Ino, I want to give you this,' at that Shikamaru pulled out a little necklace, the pendant was a sapphire attached to three rings,' my love for you will never die.' He pulled Ino for a kiss, and put the necklace onto her neck and hugged her once again, and left with other three shinobis.
Ino, Hinata, Sakura and TenTen waved furiously, as their backs faded into the darkness, Ino ran out and hugged Shikamaru from the back, and cried. Shikamaru turned around and wiped her tears and kissed her again, this time more passionately. He quickly pulled away and vanished into thin air.
Ino whispered a faint 'Goodbye.'
The skies started to rain really hard, under the pressure of Sakura breaking her legs, Ino returned into the palace, glancing behind her once again, hoping to see the faintest hint of Shikamaru returning. 'Let it be, they'll return very soon,' said Hinata.
Ino nodded a satisfied nod, and returned to her room.
Six Years Later
TenTen ran into Ino's room screaming 'OMG, the boys will be returning in one week! And they are all safe and sound!' At the comment Hinata and Sakura jumped up and down.
Ino forced a faint smile, she thought 'If Shikamaru is safe, how come he stopped writing to me after two years? Did he forget me? I'll just have to ask him in person' Looking determined. Ino looked at the spring sky.
Ino would think that Shikamaru just forgot to write to her, but their relationship will become anything but a smooth ride, starting with his return.
