Shikamaru's P

Shikamaru's P.O.V.

Why was she my girlfriend again? Oh yeah, because she's the only one who could actually BEAT me in shoji.(sp?)And….her smile…..it melted my heart and made me wonder why I was so lucky. I considered myself as the luckiest man on earth, the universe even. As far as I know, I have a unique girlfriend. I mean who else has a girlfriend that has pink hair? With green eyes? There was no other person that could compare with her…. She was special to me….I haven't thought of her pink hair nor her slightly-larger-than-average-forehead was bad or ugly…..in fact I thought she was beautiful….Why did she pick me? Because I was so smart? Or because I made chunnin first in the group? Or was as I just a distraction to keep her mind of the Uchiha?

I didn't like the last option but….it was possible she wasn't fully over him. Maybe she picked me because I gave her quite a challenge…I banged my head on the wall 'And they say I know everything….troublesome' I scoffed inwardly.

Sakura's P.O.V.

Why was he my boyfriend again? Oh wait, I can answer that question! Because he was always there for me…..even when Sasuke left. He put up with me, he understood me….in his own lazy way….And….he's never the same giving him an interesting personality….and the way he looked at me... a bored expression on his face that I personally thought was kinda cute….it made my heart beat twice as fast. The way he looked at me made me wonder why he picked me…maybe because I was the only person who could beat him in shoji except for his father? Or because I was Tsunade-shishou's apprentice? Or because of my unusual qualities?

I wasn't counting on the last one. I mean….who'd like somebody with pink hair? Personally, I thought I was ugly, but he's always telling me I'm not and that I was beautiful.

I tried to believe him …Why would he pick ME out of all women! There were prettier women in Konoha…Suna even! Was I just a distraction to get his mind off his break-up with Ino? I hope not…but it was possible. I slapped my palm against my face and dragged it down, earning the alarmed looks from the nurses who were there in the hospital 'and they say I'm smart' I scoffed

Regular P.O.V.

Sakura sighed as another day passed on with doubts about her relationship with Shikamaru. She walked glumly to her house, sighing.

When she went in, she found herself pinned on the wall with Shikamaru's demanding face. Sakura gasped, "Shika-kun? What's wrong with you?"

Shikamaru ignored her. "Why am I your boyfriend?"

Sakura looked at him confused. "Because I love you" His eyes narrowed. "How do I know you aren't lying?, that I'm just a distraction from the Uchiha?"

Sakura winced, pain on her face. "How do I know I'm not just a distraction from Ino?" Sakura answered back softly. "I got over Sasuke, Shika-kun….you're hurting me, you know?" She added.

Shikamaru bit his lip, guilt written on his face.

"Sorry" He muttered. Sakura nodded.

"I'm over Ino, you know?" Shikamaru added. Sakura nodded again.

"Hey, I'm sorry, it's just- I just- oh this is troublesome!" Shikamaru said, groaning in frustration.

"Shh…it's okay…I feel that way too…." She murmured softly.

Shikamaru nodded "So…Do- do you forgive me?"

A small smile graced her lips. "Of course, don't I always?"

She gave him a short kiss on the lips then closed the door without a word.

Shikamaru gave a lazy smirk. "I knew you wouldn't fail me Saku-chan" He sighed.

"Troublesome, goodnight Saku-chan….I guess I'll see you tomorrow….dearest"

Shikamaru disappeared in a puff of smoke, smiling one of his lazy smiles.

THE END!
