A/N: Okay, this chapter is in the past so don't freak out or nothing'.

At Shikamaru's House

"Okay, so what do you mean by your leaving?"

"Ino. I told you already. I got drafted for the war, and I have to leave tomorrow. Look, alright, I'm sorry about it, but it can't be helped okay?"

Ino just stood there. As all the other girls had once done too. Hinata, Ino, Sakura, and Ten-Ten just couldn't believe that their boyfriends had to leave for a war. They didn't know when they would come back.

At Naruto's Place

"Please Naruto, promise me that you'll return."

Hinata gently stroked Naruto's face as he took her hand, holding it on his face.

"Alright Hinata. I promise. But there's no trusting if I might though."

And with that she fell into his arms and sobbed.

At Ten-Ten's Apartment.

"No. You are not going to that war, Neji."

"Ten-Ten, you know I have to go, no matter what."

"Then promise me you'll come back."

"I can't promise you that."

Right after those words left his mouth, Ten-Ten pounded her fists against Neji's chest, as he stood there with helplessness in his eyes.

At Sasuke's Home.

Sigh "I'm sorry Sakura, but you know I have no choice, but to go."

"Alright, Sasuke, just make sure you come back okay?"

"I'll try."

The Next Day:

At the Train Station.

Ino lightly kissed Shikamaru on the cheek.

"Bye, Shikamaru. See you…when you…come back."

"Heh. I'll try. But do you really call that a kiss, Ino?"

Shikamaru whirled around, grabbed Ino's shoulders and pressed his lips hard against hers.

"…Shikamaru…"

"Shh, by Ino. I'll see you when I can. Don't worry, I'll come back. I'll make sure of it."

As the train left the station, Hinata rushed up to Ino sobbing.

"Hinata! What's wrong?"

"N-Naruto-Kun, h-he p-promised me th-that he'd c-come b-back."

"Well, That's great! So why are you crying?"

"But, N-Naruto-Kun might d-die."

Ino froze, her hands still on Hinata's shoulders.

Shikamaru might die too.

"Ino, what's wrong? Ino?"

"Huh? Oh, nothing. Don't worry, they'll come back. They will."

Hinata coked her head slightly, in that cute little way of hers. Then Sakura and Ten-Ten came running up.

At Ino's House.

"hey, Ino, do you think our boys will be okay?"

"Well, duh. I mean, our boys are the strongest of the chunin. They'll be fine. Don't worry, Sakura."

Hmm, I wonder how Shikamaru is doing. I hope he's okay.

"Ino? Hey Ino! Your spacing out again!"

"Huh? Oh, nothing, Ten-Ten. I was just…Thinking, s'all."

"Uh, w-what w-where you th-thinking?"

Ino turned to Hinata who took a step back. Nobody, nobody had ever seen Ino so depressed.

"Ino! What's wrong? Are you alright? Did anything happen to you?"

"No Sakura, I'm fine."

She flashed her with one of those fake smiles that showed just how much she was worried about Shikamaru. (A/N: Aww, how cute.)

"Ino."

"Hmm? What is it Ten-Ten?"

"Don't worry about Shikamaru. He'll be fine. Okay?"

Ten-Ten patted Ino's shoulder.

"Okay. I'll try."

End Chapter 1.
