The boy that waited patienly.
The smartest yet laziest boy in class.
The boy that waited for the key to her heart.
The boy that became a man.
The man that still waited for her..
..Had stopped waiting.
Ino sat on one of the many empty seats of the chapel. Lifting the book of puzzles she was doing and fiddled with her pencil. She sighed wiping the tears from her eyes. How could she be so blind?
Earlier the in the day her teamate and one of her best friends got married. And she's not talking about Chouji. Though she wished she was. Her eyes were red as hell right now. She could feel it.
Why was she crying, you ask?
Shikamaru and Temari of the Sand just got married.
..But she loved Sasuke didn't she? Why does she care if Shikamaru was getting married anyway? That's because..
.. She loves him.
She cried. 'Shikamaru..' she thought sadly.
"Here.". Ino jumped. .. "Shika..?". Sure enough there stood the groom with a hankerchief in hand, waving it in her face. "Take it. " He said. Ino hesitated but took it anyways.
"Arigato."she said. "What are you doing out here, Shika?" Shikamaru looked at her lazily. "Well.. why are you out here?" Ino had no reply for that.
Shikamru reached over and grabbed her book. He scanned the page and smirked. "You're doing this easy thing?" Ino glared. "Well I'm not a genius with an outrageously high IQ!" she retorted.
Shikamru chuckled. "Well you're not Naruto neither. Just put a 6 there, a 7 here, and a 1 there.".Ino did as he said and frowned.
"It works." Shikamaru shot her a lazy smile. "Told ya' so.". Ino glanced over at him. How could he talk to her so casually? Ino sighed. "So how's the married life?" she asked with a forced smile. Shikamaru thought a moment before answering. "Hmm, it's pretty good.". He sighed. The next words he said left her heartbroken.
"I might move with Temari and become a ninja of the sand.". Ino snapped. "Why! Why do you have to move! WHY?" she tugged at his shirt, tears coming out of her eyes.
Shikamaru then took her book and slapped her hands away. "Ino." he said darkly while looking into her blue eyes. For once Ino felt intimidated by him. "You have no right to intrude with my happiness. I'm married now." The dark aura around him seemed to be esculating. Ino closed her eyes shut, half expecting for him to slap her.
Butwas met with a simple touch on her cheek. "...But I hope you find someone good for you to feel what I feel right now with Temari.". Ino nodded sadly. "Temari's a lucky woman to have someone like you.". Shikamaru blushed and Ino laughed. "Shut up, Ino."
Shikamaru took the book and scribbled something down. He smirked and gave it back to her. "Next row is 298673--" Ino covered her ears. "I don't wanna hear it, I'm the one doing the puzzle! SHut up, shut up!" Shikamaru smiled at her then walked away.
Once he was out of sight and opened her Su Doku puzzle book. She frown at what he wrote.
"Ino, I did wait for you. Maybe in another dimension somewhere you'd get the clue."
Now that Ino thought about it, Shikamaru's emotions was like the Su Doku puzzles. It was complicating as hell to figure it out. A few tears landed on the page, the liquid stained the marks she made.
Ino frowned. In a way Shikamaru was a prince she had but never to have again. Like she said before, Temari is one lucky woman.
