------------------------------------------------------
"Hey,you."Nara Shikamaru,age 20,drawled.
"I have a name you know."his girlfriend answered.
"Fine."he sighed."Ami."
"Yes Shika-kun?"she asked,adoringly.
Shika-kun.That was what Ino called him.He didn't care any more.She was dead.He had moved on.
"Marry me."he said,shaking his thoughts of Ino.
-------------
Ino ran quickly,ignoring the searing pain in her arm."I..must..get...home...for Shikamaru.."she whispered as her teammate grabbed her arms.
"Ino-san,you must be treated right now."he said.
Ino shook him off."No,Sai.I have to get back to Shikamaru."she said,as he simply stared at her.Before he could realize what had taken place,Ino launched herself at Sai.He grabbed her wounded hand and struck a kunai,drawing the poison out."What the..?"The Ino in his arms disappeared in a cloud of smoke.She was a replacment jutsu.
------------
Meanwhile,the real Ino was way ahead.She heard a rustling sound.He must've found out about the replacement justu.So quickly!But it wasn't him.
"INO-PIG!"Sakura cried happily glomping Ino as she would've done Sasuke.
Ino awkwardly patted her back.What would she say to a girl that was her former enemy?"Erm..hello Forehead."
Another rustle.Out of the bushes stepped both Tenten and Hinata.
"Hey Ino!Welcome back.How are ya?"said Tenten,seeming down.
"W-welcome b-back I-ino-chan."stuttered Hinata.
Sakura examined Ino's hand." 'Ey,Ino,you hurt yourself lately?"she asked,healing Ino.
"Yeah,wh-Hey!Forehead!You fixed the damn wound!"
Ino and Sakura laughed together and walked back to the gates of Konoha.
Tenten and Hinata exhaled slowly.How was Ino going to take the news?
----------
"Hey,Ami.The clouds look nice today."Shikamaru said,studing the clouds more intently.
Ami pouted."Yeah,so?"
"So do you."Shikamaru gave a rare smile.
Ami's pout disappeared."Thanks Shika!"Ami got up slowly."Shika-kun?Do you want some barbeque pork?I'm starving."
"Sure.Why not?"
---------
Ino took a nibble of her barbeque pork.
"Ino...we were meaning to tell you this,but we didn['t know how you would take it so..."Sakura began.Tenten whispered in Ino's ear.
"What?"Ino asked,frowning."I didn't hear what you said."
Sakura pushed Tenten aside."You see Ino,Shikamaru...well,he..um..he...er...he..erm."
"He's getting married."interjected Hinata.
"Y-you said a sentence without stuttering!"Ino exclaimed.Then she frowned."What?Shikamaru wouldn't marry someone other then me."she said.
At that exact moment,Shikamaru opened the door and sat in the booth next to Ino.
"Hi Shikamaru!"Ino said,poking him in the shoulder.He froze.Only Ino would do that.But she's dead!"Ino?"he sputtered.
"Yeah Shika?"she asked,tilting her head to one side.
Shikamaru scratched his head."Yeah...uh..you see the thing is..."
Ami sat next to him."Shika-kun...I don't know what to order..."she said,pulling at his sleeve.A glint of silver caught Ino's eye.It's the ring he promised me.she realized.She stood up angrily.Shikamaru turned to face her."Ino..don't be mad or anything..you know?"
Ino glared at him."I'm not angry Shikamaru.I'm furious!"she slapped him across the face."Next time you promise me something,I'm not going to believe it."
----------
Ino stared at the clouds.How could he?she thought.She stared at the clouds,wishing she could turn back time.
"Hey,Ino."Shikamaru sat next to her."When you get back from your mission,I'm going to marry you."He held a silver ring in front of her.
She reached out to get it,but he held it out of her reach."Only when you come back Ino.Only then."
He lied.she realized.Shikamaru lied to me.She felt someone behind her.
"Ino..."he began.Shikamaru laid a hand on her shoulder.
She shrugged it off."Get away from me you bastard!"
"Ino,I didn't know you were still alive."
"Oh?And that's why you decided to marry my worst enemy?That's why you decided to ditch me?Admit it Shikamaru.You never thought of me during the three years I was gone.I hate you!"she cried,tears slowly making thier way down her pale cheeks.She ran.She didn't know where.She just ran,and left him.Like she did three years ago.
This sucks.Doesn't it?Flames are welcome.Reviews are welcome,although not as much as nice strong flames.Flames help me learn anyway.Poor Ino.Dumped by Shikmaru.
