A/N: I hope you all like this regardless of what my profile says this is my first fanfiction. I'll say this once please review. It gets annoying. Well to me anyway. Don't go crazy one me if you don't like it. Any suggestions or fixes please tell me.
Summary: ShikaIno. Ino wants Shikamaru, but what happens when they take it further? A baby on the way, a murder, a suicide, and a broken man.
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN Naruto in any way shape or form. That is Kishimoto-Sensei. (Tries to steal characters) I just write the stories.
So Troublesome!
The afternoon was beautiful. The sky was full of clouds which I so furiously envy. Anyway it was perfect temperature outside. The smell of the ramen from Ichiraku hung in the air, drawing people to fill the seats. The street was busy, full of students off for the weekend. I of course was at Ichiraku with my Dad Shikaku. I was thinking about my last game of Shogi with Asuma-Sensei. He had almost beaten me, but of course I had prevailed. Dad was explaining the many uses of deer antlers. This is such a drag I was thinking. Dad had finally stopped talking. I looked over to him.
"Shikamaru will you come with me…?" It was Ino. I gave it a thought. What could be so important for Ino to be nervous around me?
"This is just too troublesome but I guess I could. I mean besides I'm always here for you." I responded wearily. I got up anyway. We were quite a way from Ichiraku when I asked.
"Ino, was it Sasuke? Did he reject you, or was it Choji?" I asked fearfully.
All of a sudden Ino burst into tears.
"No you stupid idiot it's you! I lo….." Ino was interrupted by Temari. I grabbed Ino's arm and forced her behind me.
"What do you want Temari, I thought it was over!?" I yelled in her direction. I doubt she heard me through the racket of the wind.
"I don't want you Shikamaru, I want Ino." Temari laughed in to the wind.
Temari blew me down with her fan. Ino wiping tears from her eyes drew a kunai.
"Okay Temari, what is it you want? Is it a piece of me 'cause I got plenty here for you!" Ino spat in distaste. I watched as the once shy Ino turned into a fiery ball of her normal self. I watched as both girls walked up to each other. Ino getting in to her fighting stance, and Temari raised her fan. There was going to be a fight and there was nothing I could do to stop it.
"So troublesome!!" I sighed as I watched the proceedings of the battle. I looked to the sky when my ninja senses started to tingle and seen a shrunken fly right at me. Scooting back a little in a way to calm demeanor I stopped giving the shurikan enough space to hit right between my legs but not harm me. Getting up, I decided to go back to Ichiraku, and let the girls fight it out.
"Dad, why do women have to be so troublesome?" I asked full well knowing the explanation.
"Well…" Shikaku started, "their like your mother…" I rudely interrupted.
"So they nag and whatever else to make life a living…" My dad cut back in.
"No every fierce woman has a soft side for the man she loves." I tilted my head to the side confused. He continued, "Okay their like your mother." I started drowning out his voice as my ninja senses (a/n: more like indolent senses! HA) kicked in giving me the heads up the fight was over. Slowly getting up (my butt aching from scooting) I started to walk off. My dad just shrugged and finished his meal. I continued to the ally way and seen the reaping of the fight. There was not a lot of blood but, both girls looked like crap. Being brought out of my thoughts I looked to see Ino who was smiling like a fool.
"Hey, I won…" at that she fell on top of Temari. Upon closer inspection of both Kunoichi I seen small cut and bruises. Picking both girls up from the dirt covered sidewalk I began the long walk to Konoha Hospital. When I got there both Ino and Temari were put in rooms to recover. I sat in the waiting room waiting for Ino to awaken.
"Shikamaru, what happened? And why do you have blood on you? Especially at the hospital." Said a frightened woman's voice, It was the voice of my parents.
"It's nothing." I answered her question and apparently it wasn't good enough.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN NOTHING?" She screeched like a banshee. On that note I stood up and stuffed my hands in my pocket impatiently and walked towards the receptionist's desk.
