The End of a Lie by: HeartAngel March 30, 2006

Hello People. I know I said that if I did write a fanfic it would be next year but the thought of me owning a fic was too powerful. So here I present my fanfic : The End Of A Lie

Summary: I have read a lot of Ino angst stories about Shikamaru but never the other way around with the slightest bit of romance. So I wrote one. I know, I know, Shika is OOC but he has to be! Please R and R since I do that for most of your stories! Please enjoy!

It's getting harder to keep up this mask. Some people chose to let depression show or some fake happiness. I chose neither. I choused a lazy bored mask and theirs a reason why too. I don't get much sleep. Instead of dreaming sweet dreams I have nightmares. They're all having the same thing in them. You running over to Sasuke kissing him, leaving me behind, alone with my shadows, the only thing I have as I watching your shadow disappear as anyways.

At first when I had these dreams I'd wake up screaming and crying but with very good practice I managed to keep the tears and screams from escaping. Every time you're near me I have those dreams. I've only had a few nights of good sleep. You break my heart piece by piece you know? When you look at him, shout his name, run over to him. I try to be happy for you but I found out its impossible. Do you remember when it was just you and me? I remember this time when we were 10.

Flash Back

You were doing badly in school so you asked me to go on a study date with you. Being the person I am, I mumbled a "troublesome" and agreed. Even though it may seemed I though this was troublesome I really was looking forward to it. I enjoyed your company. So when I was waiting at the restaurant, realization hit me. You weren't coming. I waited for at least 3 hours at the restaurant waiting for you. I left heart broken. While I was walking home, I found you. You were spying on Sasuke. Sasuke. You ditched me for Sasuke. He'll always be better then me in your eyes wouldn't he? I try to face that fact but I just can't. It just keeps on slapping me with reality. You didn't notice me of course. I ran home and cried with my shadows. The next day you didn't even apologize for ditching me. You completely forgot about the little study date.

End Flash Back

I never mentioned that to you. Why bother? You never noticed the sad, pain filled looks I give you when you talk about Sasuke do you? No one does and I'm thankful for that. No one notches how much my heart breaks. No one notches that I'm living a lie. No one notches how you broke my heart Ino… especially you. I hope you will be happy now, because it took you too long to notice my mask Ino. Well it's too late now Ino because I'm gone.

The End

Whoa. I wrote my first fanfic. I hope you like this fic and enjoyed it! If you're going to flame you can't flame about the couple Ino+ Shika but feel free to bash Ino+ Sasuke. Even if you don't like Ino+ Shika and you say it in a nice way please don't. Even in a polite way it gets me mad. Also don't flame about Shikamaru being OOC I already warned you about that. Well I hope you enjoyed this little fic of mine. Hope to see or read your review in future fanfics! Peace out my fanfiction friends!-
