Left Out
We all know that Sakura and Ino are trying to get their paws on Sasuke. Maybe even Naruto =^_^= We all know that Sasuke dosn't like the girls in that way, and hates Naruto (Or does he? Hehe). But what about Shikamaru! Has Ino ever thoguht about her own team? Yes, this is a Shika & Ino fic. Don't see much of these do you? Some hints of Yaoi, but not really. This will be my second Naruto fic so be kind. Here we go!
***
'Oh my beloved Sasuke. Your name rings in the air like...um....like a...name! A name that is so sweet I want it all to myself instead of that stupid Sakura. If you were mine I would-'
"Do you mind!?"
Ino yelled at Shika who was standing over her shoulder, reading what she was writing in her diary. Shika raised an eyebrow and stood back straight with his hands behind his head.
"Geez. Sorry. It's not like it's anything new."
"What's that supposed to mean!?"
Ino stood up with fire in her eyes. To be honost, Shika was scared of Ino when someone bad mouthed her Sasuke.
"Nothing, nothing. I was just saying."
Shika put his hands up in front of him in case Ino wanted to jump him, he could somehow hold her off.
"Saying what!?"
"Well..uhh."
"Hey guys! Come one. Asuma has a mission for us."
Thank God for Chouji. The plum little boy came into the scene with a bag of potato chips eyeing two of his team mates. If he wouldn't have come to get them, Shika would be in pain right now. Ino glared at Shika one more him and followed the other boy to her sensei. The ponytailed boy left out a sigh of relief he was holding for some reason and also followed his two teammates.
"Ok men!...and Ino. It is time for a really, really hard task!"
"Another mission. How trouble-some."
Shika voiced his opinion and he shoved his hands in his pockets. Ino just flipped her hair, and Chouji kept eating. Asuma dragged out the last bite of his ciggarette and dropped it to the ground, crushing the remains under his boot. He ran a hand through his brown hair and stroked his pointy beard giving a dramatic pose.
"Today will be a day of reckoning! Today will be the day you find out your purpose. Today is the day you become real men!..and women! Today you will learn real teamwork! Today...um, well a lot of stuff will happen today. Today we are teaming up with Kakashi's team and the six of you children will travel to the Hill of Hell to find a Mage. You will spend a week there, working side by side. When you find this Mage, you will need to best him so he will give you six an item. This item will be placed in the Hokage Domain so everyone can see that you over came the Hill, and the Mage!"
As if in one ear, and through the other, Ino's eyes turned to hearts at hearing this. Kakashi's team ment Sasuke-chan would be there! Ino practically melted right there on the spot. Shika brought his eye brows together. He would have to spend time with that show off Sasuke, and Dead- last Naruto. Chouji flipped his bag upside down to see if there were any crumbs left. Seeing that there weren't he placed the bag into his pouch and crossed his arms in front of him.
" Lets get packed, and tomorow morning we leave at dawn! Today you get a day off, and time to relax. Make sure you get rested and pack everything you need. Dismissed!"
Asuma turned around and walked off leaving his three students to stare off at his back. After a moment of silence Chouji was the first to break it.
"I should pack more chips and some cake. Oh! I should ask my mom if she could make some ramen in a little baggie. And some sushi! Oh! And I should see if there is any cheesecake left from last night..."
The happy-go-lucky ninja walked off to his house talking out loud to himself on what food he should pack. Shika and Ino were left alone then. Ino was still in La La land. Shika looked over at Ino and started to admire her. How her soft blond hair drapped back on her back. Although her eyes were glazed from her thoughts of Sasuke, Shika loved looking at them. He got caught once doing that, and that gave him a hard hit in the jaw from Ino. Her hands were clasped in front of her heart. How he wanted to hold her soft hands in his.
When they were in school together, he never gave her more then a passing glance. They didn't hate each other, but they weren't the best of friends. But as the school years went by he did have a little crush on her. Just a small one. She was pretty after all. Her friend Sakura came into the picture a little later. This was when they became closer friends. She introduced Sakura to him and she too was pretty, but Ino was still the one that caught his eye. Ino became more...girly when Sakura was around. It must have been a girl thing, but Shika kinda liked it when Ino was like that. She was nicer, and more friendlier to everyone really. One day when the two girls were alone and talking, Shika and Chouji walked by and overheard the conversation.
"I know. I think his hot, too."
Chouji jabbed Shika in the ribs.
"They must be talking about you bro."
Shika looked away from his friend and blushed.
" You do? I'm pretty sure everyone thinks that. I mean, his top in the class, smart, handsom, nice, and all around hotty."
That smashed Shika's heart. He knew who they were talking about. Sasuke. He didn't hate that kid, but he got more attention then Shika, and most likely all the other boys, too. He just hoped that Ino would have noticed that Sasuke wasn't the only guy in the world. That, and he said more then once that he didn't like anyone at the school. Plus! Sakura and Ino were now fighting to win the guy's heart and soon or later they became rivals. It was kinda sad to see beucause Ino turned back into the little mean girl that she was without another girl to relate with. Shika was snapped out of his thoughts, and Ino out of her dream state as Ino's stomach growld. She blushed like crazy and her hands went down to her belly.
"Come on. Let's go get some Ramen. My treat."
Ino looked up at her teammate with a look. Shika still had his poker face on with his eye lids draped lazily over his brown eyes.
"That is...if you want."
Ino thought about it, and her stomach growled again.
"Sure. If your buying."
Shika turned and headed into town again with Ino following him. She quietly hummed to her self, and Shika found himself looking over his shoulder every now and then to look at her. When they came to the shop they sat down at the barstools, and orderd their ramen. While the ramen was being cooked, Shika decided to start a conversation.
"So...how's...life?"
"Huh? Oh. It's fine. I can't believe that we get to spend a week with Sasuke and his team. This is going to be so much fun."
'Hey about you shut up about Sasuke just once.'
"Yeah. Fun."
Thinking was one thing, but saying it was another.
"How's yours?"
"Pretty good I guess. You and Sakura friends again or what?"
After the Sound Ninjas happened, things were questionable.
"If she says that Sasuke is mine, and that'll she'll be happy when we get married, then yes. We are the best of friends then. Until then...kinda. She still has a big forehead."
Shika smiled at that.
"What will you do if she does?"
"..."
Shika raised an eyebrow at her silence.
"Idunno."
Ino said so fast Shika didn't catch it.
"What?"
"I don't know. I guess I would...I dunno."
"Is it just me, or are you just after him because Sakura is?"
Ino glared at him, but her look softened after she gave it some thought. Was she only doing this so she could beat Sakura? When she was about to really think about it, their ramen came.
"It was just a question."
With that, Shika pulled apart his chop sticks and began to gather his noodles up, and into his mouh with grace. Ino did the same motion and as she slurpped up her noodes, her thought drifted from thing to thing. She really couldn't focus on anything as she stared into her soup. A slurpp came from the side of her and she let her eyes drift into that direction. Shika was the one that slurpped and kept going as if he didn't do anything. Ino stared at him, and couldn't take her eyes off him. He was slighty bent over his bowl with an elbow on the table top. She watched as he pulled up the ramen over and over, and blew on it to cool it down. When he had the sense of being watched, he turned his head over to Ino. Ino blushed, but found out that she couldn't turn away. She still had strains of Ramen hanging from her mouth and into the bowl. As did Shika. They looked at eachother like that before Shika did something that almost gave Ino a heart attack. He took his chop sticks and grabbed the noodles that were hanging down her chin and pulled them into his bowl. She finally bit her mouth full, and the left over strains fell down. She swolled her noddles, and kept looking at Shika. He swallowed his own bits and smiled, and kept eating as if nothing happened. Ino turned back to her bowl and kept going.
'Huh. I guess he's just hungry. He's not at all thinking what I was. Gawd. I'm such a pervert!'
They finished up and Shika payed the man. He stretched up and yawned. It was pretty late.
"Well, I guess I'll see you tommorow. Bright and early. And that really sucks."
"Yeah. Th-thanks for dinner."
"No prob. Ok, good night."
Ino bowed slightly.
"Good night Shika-chan."
With that being said, they both left for their ways, before Ino stopped and called back to Shika.
"Hey Shika!"
He stopped and looked over his shoulder.
"Yeah?"
"Will...will you walk me home? You know, I don't want to be alone on the streets this late and all."
"Sure."
Man of poetry, Ino thought as he turned around and walked back to her. Then when he reached her the both headed off to Ino's house. After a bit of walking in an eery slince, they reached her front door step. Some rustling and voices were coming from her home.
"Thanks again, Shika. I'll see you tommorow morning."
"See ya."
He then walked off into the dark street and was gone. Ino breathed out and opened her house door.
"Ino sweety, how was your day?"
"Hi mom. It was great. Sorry I'm late, I had...training with Asuma."
"That's my little Ninja-baby!"
"Speaking of which. My team and another is going to Hill of Hell, or something, and I need to get some stuff for two weeks. Or some junk like that."
"Sure thing baby. I'll start packing some things for you."
"Thanks mom."
He mother pulled her into a hug, and kissed her forehead. Ino smiled, and went to her room. She undid her hair and it all flipped down in front of her face and back. She rustled it through, and flopped down onto her bed. When she licked her lips she could still taste her chicken ramen. It was weird, but she never ate with Shika alone like that before. It was always with Chouji, and Asuma. Never alone, but it was pretty fun. He looked so weird with his half closed eyes with the ramen hanging out of his mouth.
'Wait. Why am I think of him? What happened to the vision of me and Sasuke on a horse?'
She sat back up and looked out her window. The moon was high and bright and the night was dark and cool. Tomorow was going to be one looooong day.
