A Troublesome Confession

Chapter 1: THEY'RE IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER, AND THEY DON'T KNOW IT

It was another peaceful morning in the Konoha. Shikamaru was at his cloud watching spot, only he wasn't cloud watching… He was pacing around mumbling the weirdest things to himself…. "How about this 'Ino, you're the most beautiful girl I've ever met and I sorta like you. And, I was thinking…. Maybe we could go on a date later? ... No, that sounds stupid… How about….." Shikamaru kept on mumbling to no one in particular. You see, the Nara had feelings for Ino since they met ( InosanaYamanaka13:talk about a long crush…) and he decided to confess his feelings for her very soon, he practiced there so that he wouldn't be heard by his parents or his sister, Shikatana. "AAAAAARRRRGGGG….. THIS IS HOPELESS!" he yelled in frustration. He had been doing this for an hour already.

Meanwhile, Inosana Yamanaka, Ino's older sister and head of the Konoha Alliance (an alliance composed of all the heirs and heiresses of their respective clans), was in the training field doing her usual morning routine. She was currently an ANBU and had been training for over two hours out of boredom. The first hour was peaceful; the second was terribly unpleasant "SHUT THE FUDGE UP ALREADY!" She protested in the general direction of Shikamaru's rantining. His voice was easily heard when in range of the training field. In short, Inosana heard EVERYTHING! She gave up on yelling because she had done it for an hour already and she was fed up with doing so. In the end, she decided to see who was making such a racket at 5 o'clock in the morning. She leaped unto the highest branch of a willow tree and eavesdropped on the Nara boy. "I can't believe a girl could do this to me…. *sigh* Troublesome Ino…."he groaned. Inosana nearly fell from the branch when she heard this "Shikamaru likes Ino…. And, she likes him back…" Inosana said jaw-dropped and eyes widened recalling what her sister told her night before...

*FLASHBACK*

*KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK*

"Come in!" Inosana said. The door opened, revealing a light blonde-haired girl in a lavender nightgown. Inosana just smiled at her sister as she closed the bedroom door "So, what is it you wanted to talk to me about this time, Ino?" Inosana asked as Ino sat at the edge of the bed clasping her hands together "I don't love Saskue anymore. But, I love Shkamaru." She said with a light pink blush. Inosana's eyes widened in shock, at the same time, she felt happy for her sister because she had found the one she truly loved "I hope that you find the happiness I had when I learned that Itachi loved me." Inosana said "Me too, sis. Well,*yawn* goodnight, Inosana." Ino said as she reached for the door" Sweet dreams, Ino Nara." Inosana joked. Ino just smiled and left.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

Inosana did her best to keep herself from laughing too loud at the fact that they both liked each other and neither one knew it. They're such a sweet couple...she thought to herself. Inosana chose to remain and watch the poor 16 year-old Nara boy make a total fool of himself. "Poor, Shikamaru. That boy needs help, ASAP!" she said as she took out her communicator and contacted the one person she knew who could help him out, Itachi Uchiha. Hedidmake the first move… Inosana thought to herself

"Hello?"

"What's up, sweetie?"

"I need you to help 'Tana's brother."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because he's having the same problem you had when we were 14 years old. When you told me you loved me…."

"Sure, I'll help. Anything for you."

"You're so sweet. Thanks. I love you."

"I love you, too. So, where is he?"

"At his favourite cloud watching spot."

"Okay. Thanks."

And the call ended. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH… THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!" Shikamaru hollered. "No, it's not. You just need a bit of help."Inosana said from the branch "Who said that?" Shikamaru asked. Inosana jumped down from the willow and landed on her feet without losing her balance. Shikamaru's eyes widened with fear. He knew that his sister would surly know his crush and so will the rest of the Konoha Alliance. "How long have you been up there?" he asked "About an hour or so…" Inosana replied "Don't tell Ino." He said sternly "Course not. But, you seriously need help. I still can't believe a guy with an IQ of 200 doesn't know a thing about love." She joked "Help?" he begged He's getting desperate…Inosana thought "Don't worry. Help's on the way." she said with a smirk I don't like where this is heading….Shikamaru thought.
