Chapter 1
"We are going to have a few guest for a while. One of my old friends and his daughter. She is as old as you are. They are going to stay here until they can find a place to live." Shikaku was explaining to his son as he was taking a saddle off of a horse. "Is it alright with you?"
"Of course, Dad! But, why are they going to stay here? Are they moving?" Asked the man's son. His hair was pulled back into a ponytail that looked like a pineapple.
"Well... You see Shikamaru. Their house and barn burned down. Only him, his daughter and a horse made it out alive. The mother died in the fire. All of the other animals died. When they come don't try to bring up the subject to his daughter. O.K.?" Shikaku asked Shikamaru.
"I won't. I can't even imajine how hard it must be on her. Loosing her mother really young." Shikamaru said. He felt so bad for her.
Shikamaru carried the saddle to the barn and put it away. His Dad was leading the last horse into the stable.
"When will they be here?" Shikamaru asked.
"Today. Around 4:00." Shikaku told him as they both walked to their house.
"Today?! Why didn't you tell me earlier?!" Shikamaru was shocked that his own Dad wouldn't even tell him!
"I talked to them yesterday! You were so busy that I couldn't find the right time to tell you!" Shikamu opened the door to the house and stepped in. They sweet smell of Lunch filled the air.
"Lunch Time!" Shikamaru's mom smiled when she saw them.
"Good! I am hungury!" Shikaku washed his hands. He sat down and started to eat.
Shikamaru washed his hands slowly. He sat down.
'Why didn't Dad tell me! He could have just stopped me and tell me!' Shikamaru thought.
"Shikamaru?" His Mom's asked.
"Huh?" He didn't realize that the table was completely cleared. His Mom and Dad sat at the table all eyes on him.
"Are you O.K.?" His Mom felt his forehead for a temperature. Nothing.
"I'm fine." He got up and started to wash the dishes.
His parents looked at eachother with worried looks on their faces.
After Shikamaru was done with the dishes, there was a loud honk.
"Their here!" His Parents said at the same time. They scurried out the door.
Shikamaru dried off his hands and walked out of the door.
His parents were talking to a man that had blonde hair.
He walked up to his parents.
"Inoichi. This is my son Shikamaru!" The blonde man put his hand out. Shikamaru grabbed it and shook it.
"Hello." The man had a deep voice.
"It's nice to meet you." Shikamaru said.
Then a girl stepped out of behind a trailer that was hooked to the truck that they came in.
She had blonde hair. Just like her Dad. She was leading a black horse toward us. She looked really sad.
"Ino! This is the Nara Family!" Inoichi put a hand on her shoulder but she shrugged it off.
She never looked up from the ground.
"Why, hello!" Shikamaru's mom said happily.
"Hi." She said blankly.
"This is Shikamaru!" Shikaku pointed to Shikamaru.
"This is Ino!" Inoichi pointed to Ino.
'No wonder their friends...' Shikamaru thought.
"Hi." She said it more blankly then before.
She glanced up at Shikamaru.
He finally got to see what her face looked like.
She had stunning blue eyes. Pale skin. She was beautiful, to Shikamaru.
She blushed and looked down again.
'Did she just blush!? ' He thought.
"Is this the horse that you were talking about, Inoichi?" Shikaku asked.
"Yes. Her name is Sara." Inoichi grabbed the reins from Ino and followed Shikaku.
"Well..." Shikamaru's mom didn't know what to say to Ino. So she just walked inside the house. That left Shikamaru and Ino alone outside.
"Umm..." Shikamaru didn't know what to say.
Shikaku and Inoichi walked back from the stables, they didn't even notice the 2 just staring at eachother. They walked straight into the house.
"Umm... Do you mind if I go and say goodnoght to Sara?" Ino looked at Shikamru.
"Uhh... Sure. Do you mind of I come with you?"
"Umm... Sure. It's your property."
They both started to walk towards the stables.
Shikamaru opened the door and they both walked in.
There were horses lined up. Each with a name attached to their door.
Big Daddy O.
Tex Bear.
Theadore.
Kat.
Prince Chick Yarn The First.
"Prince Chick Yarn The First?" Ino looked at the horse.
"Look! I was 3!"
And for the first time Shikamaru heard Ino Laugh.
"That's funny!" Ino punched him playfully in the arm.
"Ow!" It actually hurt!
They both started to laugh.
Ino found Sara and started to pet her nose.
"Goodnight." She whispered to the horse.
She walked away, with Shikamaru at her side.
"How long have you had your horse?" Shikamaru asked after a long period of silence.
"As long as I can remember. She was a Foster. My Dad decided to keep her. I grew up raising her." Ino said.
Shikamaru opened the door to the house.
Everyone was sitting on the couch. They looked at Shikamaru and Ino when they walked in.
They kept staring.
"What?..." Ino and Shikamaru said at the same time.
They looked at eachother.
"It's getting late. Shikamaru you have to wake up early tomorrow." Shikamaru's mom got up and rushed Shikamaru up to his room.
"Goodnight!" Ino laughed remembering 'Prince Chick Yarn The First'.
Shikamaru could tell that she was laughing about the horse.
"I was 3!" He disapeared into his room.
"Ino? You should get to bed too." Inoichi handed her suitcase to her.
Soon, Ino was on the couch in pitch black darkness.
'I hope that I can get to sleep tonight.' She thought.
A few minutes later she fell asleep.
