Disclaimer: I don't Naruto. It'd be a very twisted world if I did.

Author's Note: Oi:). Decided to start a collection of InoShika one-shorts, including, drabbles, song-fics, vignettes, etc. to stimulate my mind for a multi chapter adventure with InoShika! And also to do a little mischeivious expirementation.

I will be doing requests! (please do not request in a review, message me please! I will take song fic requests, phrase requests, situation requests. So on and so forth. I will try to cover all requests! But if I'm not digging your request I'll probably just tell you it might be able to kind of think about it and it some air. Or if I'm realy not into it..hopefully that doesn't happen..I'll deal with it if that situation comes up. I will try to cover all genres.

Anyways, enjoy! Review!

"I have to do this, Shikamaru." The words were soft as they left the blonde's lip. They had been debating for what seemed forever. The determination and emphasis that flared in the beginning between the two seemed to fade.

Facades quickly seemed to melt in the rain.

Shikamaru shoved his hands into the pockets of his cropped pants, hunching slightly. His eyes were clouded, staring off-handedly into nowhere in particular. He wanted to look at Ino, but he couldn't. Every time his eyes slowly wondered to the blonde woman his mind would freak and he'd switch his gaze elsewhere.

Ino clenched back tears even if the light rain would hide them on her cheeks. She balled her fists at her side and lowered her head and stared at Shikamaru's feet. Why was this so hard? Why couldn't he understand?

Why couldn't Ino understand?

"Don't waste your time on me." Ino whispered, cerulean eyes raising themselves to gaze at Shikamaru.

He could just feel Ino's gaze on him. He just couldn't tear his eyes away from the dark clouds that hovered hauntingly above them, showering them both in confusion, pain, shame, longing,

Unsatisfaction.

'Time.' Shikamaru thought venomously, as his gaze finally found Ino and searched her eyes for a moment. 'It's so unforgiving, isn't it?'

"I'm not." He could only simply counter. There was nothing more to it. He shifted his weight and grasped his soaked hair in this tie, and combed it with his fingers nervously.

"I've made up my mind." The blonde probed once more. Her stare grew more intent and defiant. For a minute there, it was as if she was testing him a bit more.

"Don't waste your time on him, Ino." Shikamaru threw back at her while his brow furrowed in annoyance. "You can refuse this mission, no one will judge you."

Ino's hands flew up in anger.

"You would, Shikamaru!" Her eyes were red and obvious that she was spilling the pent up tears. Her golden bangs were dull and soaked against the side of her face.

"I wouldn't. I'm not." His whispered, his heart aching for her. Shikamaru dropped his head slightly and dropped his shoulders a bit. She seemed taken back by his reaction as she stumbled a couple steps backwards. Silence filled the void between the two as both of them took a minute to regain their composure.

"I need to do this for myself." Ino finally sighed.

'You want on this mission to get close to Sasuke. You can't fool me, troublesome girl.' He casted a painful look at her. 'You're going to die on this mission, fool.'

Ino let her mind go aloof for a moment as she adverted her eyes to the dark sky. 'I need to see, Shikamaru. I need to do this for myself. I need to..and...as much as it pains you..it's..'

"For you too." She added as she fixed her large blue eyes on him, head tilted slightly. Her lips were tautly pressed together, an uncertain smile playing a crossed her soft lips.

Ino watched Shikamaru's dark eyes fly shut and his jaw tightened as he quickly looked down and away from her face. Ino's mind flashed way back when Shikamaru and the others went to retrieve Sasuke, and the many other times that they had encountered that same mission. Most of them ending horribly. The blonde was sure his mind was frantically trying to push back the memories. It pained Ino to remind him, besides, everything that happened back then caused a tidal wave of emotions to pour through out Ino. Her heart sank as she thought about what ran through Shikamaru. What ran through that lazy man's mind?

That lazy man's heart?

Shikamaru stood there,

Broken.

Tears bursted from the corners of his eyes as he continued to look away from Ino. His head pounded, and he could only identify this feeling with being nauseous. His heart fluttered a bit, as a soft hand cupped the side of his face. The raven-haired man's eyes shot up to look at the woman. Her eyes were soft on him, almost yearning for him in a way. Shikamaru always had the answers. He was the genius after all, but he felt so helpless.

He felt in the dark and not in control.

"I'm going." She whispered again to him, both of her hands cupped the sides of his face. Ino raised an eyebrow as she watched his lips part and release a sigh.

"Don't leave me." His voice was void of emotion.

"Shikamaru.." Ino trailed off looking up at him and stared intently at him. Her hands trailed to his neck and collarbone as she felt her senses electrify as she felt his hands slowly come to her face and cradle her so caringly. His touch just screamed love. Ino's eyes fluttered shut as her body became unbearably close to his and her face was being tilted straight up.

The blonde sighed as a palm supported her chin and a thumb ran over her lips as she opened her eyes slightly. She saw a clouded vision of Shikamaru peering down at her, his gaze piercing and still unsure.

Shikamaru's head dropped slightly, his lips hovered over the blonde's and his thumb still traced at her bottom lip idly.

"Ino, dear, can't we just disappear?"
