sighs * Yes, this is another attempt for me to write a fic. It seems as if
every time I try to write something, I always lose interest. But I'm not
going to this time! * fake laughs * Any who, ShikaIno fics are becoming
more and more popular, and I've had this one in mind for a while and am
finally getting it down on.computer. Hope you enjoy it, it starts off slow,
but it'll get better.

Chapter One - Sasuke's Back???
It was another lovely day in Konohagure, the sun was shining, a few clouds were out, and the wind was slightly blowing. Since most of the Jounins were out on missions, many of the Genins had the day off.
Nara Shikamaru stared up at the clouds from his spot on the forest floor and sighed. He had been back from his first mission to rescue Sasuke for two weeks, and was still quite tired from his battle. Fortunately he hadn't suffered too badly like Neji, who was still unconscious in the hospital. Unfortunately, his long time friend Chouji hadn't made it. Naruto had used one of his newfound skills to knock Sasuke out after he popped out of the little basket that he was in. Then they drug him and their fallen companions back to Konohagure. Sasuke was now being kept confined someplace near the administrations building and was being closely watched by several ANBU.
Shikamaru wasn't really thinking about much, it was too troublesome, but he did find himself wondering where the other half of his team was. Asuma was most likely out on a mission with Kakashi, but he hadn't seen Ino since he had returned two weeks ago. Now that was unlike her, normally she would have been waiting for their, well Sasuke's, return along with Sakura, but she wasn't. "Damn, now why am I thinking about such a troublesome thing...?" Shikamaru muttered as he continued his watch of the clouds.
~~~~~~~~~~
Ino hadn't gone to see Shikamaru or Sasuke since their return. Things had been way too hectic at the flower shop. She hadn't had a single break, other than to eat and sleep, in over five days. It was the time of year when all of the new flower shipments came in and Ino was busy helping her mom clip and trim all of the incoming flowers. Fortunately her mother had promised her a break today, so she was on her way to see the Fallen Ninja Monument.
When she got to the site it was beginning to get cloudy. She placed a few flowers next to the stone with the ninja's names on it and stood there for a bit, just thinking. She did miss Chouji quite a bit, the InoShikaCho team just wasn't going to be the same. Ino left before she let the tears begin to fall.
"Now where is that lazy bastard Shikamaru?" she muttered as she walked down the street looking for any possible Shikamaru hangouts.
Sasuke hadn't really crossed her mind much lately. Ino had been slowly losing her feelings for him since the start of the Chuunin Exam, and only kept up her act while Sakura was around. All of that changed though when she saw a figure that looked like Sasuke dash into the forest near her training area.
Ino followed like a dog on a leash. She used to do this a lot. When her team had the day off, she would follow Sasuke to his training grounds and watch him train. And that's exactly what she decided to do now. Little did she know, that this Sasuke that she was following wasn't running to go train, but yet running from anyone that knew of his escape from confinement.

I need a better title.any suggestions? Thanks for reading! ^_^ Later days -Loserfreak-
Update: Yes yes, I know I killed of Chouji. Don't shoot me or anything, it just fits my story better. Honestly I do think he's going to live, along with Neji, but I'm just doing this for my story!
