Staring ahead, Ino cringed.
Her eyebrows furrowed together and her lips twisted in an indescribable way. The hands once placed on her hips now hung lifelessly by her side. The healthy hue of pink was drained off her face and all that remained was a pale and assumingly dead Ino.
Sakura, her closest girl friend was chatting animatedly with Shikamaru.
Many thoughts rushed into her mind as a sudden pain tugged at the corners of her heart.
She thought she knew. Since she knew that Shikamaru held a special place in her heart, why did she do such a thing?
Okay, maybe she didn't really do anything, but…why was she so close to him!
They barely knew each other!
Sure, they went on some missions together, but it was impossible for them to grow so close all of a sudden!
A green little monster crept into that red thumping monster as her fingers tapped to an unusual beat, a habit of hers when she was thinking real hard.
Well, what was she thinking of? Let's just say it had to deal with shredding a certain pinky into a million pieces before throwing her remains into the sea.
It was so unfair!
She and Shikamaru had known each other for practically her whole life but the conversations they had lasted for at the most five minutes, Ino doing most of the talking, with Shikamaru's longest answer as "Troublesome Woman".
How was it possible that two 'strangers' could strike up a conversation so easily? Nothing seemed to make sense! Oh wait… it does…birds of a feather flock together… Sakura had an extremely large forehead and Shikamaru had an IQ of over 200…so, things ended this way huh?
A lone tear rolled down as a finger was lifted to wipe it away.
She knew Shikamaru did not belong to her, but…but…couldn't he just shower her with just a little attention?
By then, a lopsided grin crept its way onto Shikamaru's face as a feminine giggle escaped from Sakura's petal like lips.
Ino, agitated by the scene, sunk her recently manicured nails deep into her skin. Biting her lower lip, a metallic taste dabbed the tip of her tongue.
Sakura's face inched closer to Shikamaru's face and Ino could bear it no longer.
She screamed.
Within seconds, what was formerly known as Shikamaru and Sakura disappeared into a puff of smoke.
Lean, tanned arms snaked its way across Ino's petite waist as she gasped in shock.
"Jealous?" Shikamaru whispered into her ear, causing it to turn bright red.
"Don't be."
Upon hearing his husky voice, she blushed even further as she was slowly turned to face him.
Given no time to respond, his lips latched onto hers.
Unknown to the couple, the rest of the gang stood behind a bush with Naruto boasting that he was the one who brought them together.
Hope you have enjoyed it^^
