Little Feet, Little Hands and Little Minds

Shikamaru walked down the hall just looking around and on his way to his house. He never realized how late it was whenever he was with Ino and now he was late for his meeting with his sensei. He got into the house and then headed to the training area after he got changed. When he got there he saw his sensei waiting.

"Hey, Your late"

"Sorry I was with Ino I didn't expect to be that long"

His sensei, Asuma, lifted his eyebrow and looked at him slyly. "So you and Ino, huh?"

Shikamaru's eyes widened "What! No I mean I wouldn't min-… no! God no we're just friends for god's sake!"

Asuma smirked at his student's behavior; it was funny seeing his student freak out about the slightest little thing. He smiled "Don't worry I wont tell"

Shikamaru glared "Lets just train okay?"

Asuma smiled "Of course!"

After there training Shikamaru smiled and started to walk off and go home, when he noticed how dark it was getting. That's when he noticed a figure following him he turned around throwing a kunai and missed the person did a jutsu and everything went black.

A few days later…

Shikamaru woke up noticing everything was bigger. He was in a white room and had rails coming up on what looked like a bed he was laying on. He turned slightly and saw Ino sitting in a chair fast asleep. Then he decided to sit up and look at himself. When he did he looked down and his jaw dropped and his eyes widened he looked like he was 1 years old!

He squeaked out "What happened?"

He saw Ino waking up and hid under the blanket. "Hey Shika it's okay I know you're a 1 year old I wont judge you or make fun. Now come out of there please?"

Shikamaru sighed and slowly lifted the blanket off. He looked at Ino with a teary eyed look. Ino smiled softly "Hey it's okay see I'm not making fun"

"Yeah but I just got three questions 1: How did this happen? 2: Where are we? And 3rd: How am I going to turn back?"

"Well 1: A ninja snuck into the village, attacked you turned you into a little kid and then I found you. 2: We're in a hospital and 3: I don't know Tsunade is gonna try to figure it out and until then you'll stay with me!"

"But I can stay by myself!"

"Your 1 years old!"

"What about my parents!"

"They are on a mission!"

"Fine!"

Ino smiled and that's when Tsunade walked in with her big smile and looked at Shikamaru "Great your up!"

Shikamaru whined and hid under the blanket again, he didn't want people to see him like this!

Tsunade smiled and giggled "It's okay Shikamaru I already saw you like this"

"Yeah I guess but do you know how to change me back?"

"Not yet sorry. Until I find out how you'll have no other choice but to stay with Ino"

"But I don't want to stay with Ino"

"Why not?"

"It's a secret!"

"Okay Shikamaru sorry but you need to go with Ino there's no one else who could take you"

"Fine"

Tsunade smiled and started giving Shikamaru a check up. Suddenly a question popped into Shikamaru's mind " Also why am I in a crib?"

"Just incase you fall out, Silly!"

"But I'm old enough I can sleep without falling out of bed!"

"No you're not your just 1 years old! You'll have to deal with it."

"Fine!"

When Tsunade was done she smiled and looked at Ino "He's allowed out just go to the front desk and tell Shizune oh and when I find out the cure I'll send someone to get you"

"Okay lady Tsunade"

Ino picked up Shikamaru and started walking to the front desk, Shikamaru pouted "Hey, I can walk by myself I know what I have to do I can walk! Put me down!"

Ino frowned at his tantrum and put him down "Fine you can walk on your own do it!"

She started to walk away while Shikamaru tried to walk, fell, tried again and then once again fell. He looked up frustrated and then saw how far away Ino was and got all teary eyed. "Ino!"

When Ino didn't turn around right away he started to cry. But what he didn't know was that Tsunade was watching to evaluate his personality and how he reacts to different things then she slowly wrote on her notebook:

Developing baby/ kid personality may be developing baby/kid mind. Check on him every 3 days. Also inform Ino about my visits.

As Ino turned around and looked at Shikamaru she sighed and walked over to him. He whined and lifted his arms to her. "Hey Shika it's okay I'm here"

He looked up at her and started to calm down. He was still a little teary, sobbing and sad when they got to the front desk.

When Shizune saw them she smiled "Well hello there and what can I help you with today?"

Ino smiled "I'm would like to sign out Shikamaru Nara please"

Shizune smiled "Of course, so where is he?"

"Right here"

"Oh I thought he was yours, opps sorry!"

Ino giggled as she saw Shikamaru pout he didn't like this one bit and he wanted his old body back. When they got all signed out they met Tsunade at the door. She told Ino she'll be visiting every three days and will see her later.

As Ino walked out of the hospital she smiled down at Shikamaru. "You okay Shika?"

"Yeah"

When they got to Ino's car he realized she had a carseat in the back and looked confused.

Ino smiled " Tsunade gave me all kinds of things for you so I don't have to worry"

"Oh Okay"

As they drove up Ino's driveway they saw Choji waiting for them which made Shikamaru shy he didn't want Choji or anyone for that matter to know he was like this but it was too late Ino got out and started unbuckling him too!
