BB: Okay, this is a quick little one shot song fic, using the love triangle of INo/Shika/Temari. I used a wonderful song called 'The Fool' by Lee Ann Womack.

Alleanye: BB doesn't own Naruto or Lee Ann Womack. Please read.

Ino's eyes scanned the bar. She immediately found the blonde ponytails that she was looking for. She walked to her, ready to talk to the woman. She had to, because she had to let Temari know. She had to let Temari know what was going on, what could be done. She slipped into the seat next to the older woman.

"Do you care if I sit here?" Ino asked.

You don't know me but I know who you are
Mind if I sit down
Do I look familiar if I don't well I should
I'm sure you've seen me around

I know you've probably heard my name
Though we've not been introduced

"No, but who are you?" Temari asked, her voice belligerent.

"My name's Ino. I have no doubt you've seen before."

"Yeah, now that I think of it, I have." Temari said, watching her.

"You've may have heard my name, but I really don't think we have been introduced properly." Ino sighed. "I'm the fool in love in Shikamaru."

Temari blinked. "Shikamaru? Why should I care whether you love him?"

Ino felt tears in her eyes. "Because he's still in love with you.


I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you

Temari's jaw dropped.


If you've got a minute I'll buy you a drink
I've got something to say
It might sound crazy but last night in his sleep
I heard him call out your name
This ain't the first time he's done it before
And it's hard to face the truth

"Look, how about I buy you a drink." Ino said, signaling to the bartender for some sake.

"Ok." Temari said, the word slow.

"I know, I sound insane, but it's true. Last night, he called your name out in his sleep. He does it like every week." Ino watched the sake hit the table, and immediately took a long sip. "I'm in love with the idiot, and he's still wants you."


I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you

Ino could see the pity in Temari's eyes.

I know love is a fragile thing
And I'm trying hard to make it last
But it ain't easy holding on to my dream
When he's holding on to the past

"I work so hard to keep him with me." Ino went on, her eyes glued to the table. "But I know he's thinking about you. I just wish he'd stop living in the past."

Just one more thing before I go
I'm not here to put you down
You don't love him and that's a fact
Girl I've seen you around
But you hold his heart in the palm of your hand
And it's breaking mine in two

Ino drained the last of her sake, noticing that Temari hadn't said much. "Look, I'm not trying to make you feel guilty, okay? I know you don't want him, I've seen you flirt with almost everyone in pants. I know he isn't what you want. But I'm just saying, that he still loves you, and I, I don't think I can handle it. But I'll go, okay? I'll just go." And with that, Ino rose, and wlaked to the door. She could still feel Temari's eyes on her.


'Cause I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you

Why did she have to love Shikamaru?


I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you

Why couldn't he love her?

BB: I hoped you liked it. Just so you know, i'm a Shika/INo shipper, but this was too good of an oppertunity to pass up.
