Seduction missions no more
"The mission was a success." The blond woman who was in front of the Rokudaime Hokage said as she carelessly tossed the scrolled that she got from her pouch bag. The other blond in the room- which was the Hokage himself grinned as he said good job to his long time friend.
"as always Ino, I can count on you." Naruto beamed as he ordered the twenty-four year old woman to have her rest from her two-day mission.
Ino walked around the village as she made her way to their family's flower shop. Certain people greeted her with a friendly smile while other looked at her with some disgust, but she didn't care; it was her mission, whether she liked it or not, a mission is still a mission. Turning around a corner, she finally found her destitation.
"I'm hoome~!" she yelled when she stepped her foot on the flower shop.
"What took you so long?" a bored but strict voice greeted her and she raised her blond brow upon recognizing the said voice
"What are you doing in here, Shika?" she asked back; the Nara boy walked towards her and shrugged.
"Your father asked for my assistance." He replied. "Now, answer me." he said, but Ino just walked passed him "Ino~"
"You're not my father, why would I bother myself to explain to you?" she said nonchalantly. Shikamaru paced forward and grabbed both of her wrist, his eyes were the usual blank; and Ino stared at them with great surprised "Shika~! Let go of me!" she yelled again.
"I don't want you to accept seduction missions anymore" Shikamaru said as he tightened his grip on Ino's wrists.
"What!?" the blond hissed in pain. "Why would you order me to do that? What's with you Shikamaru?" she spat out angrily.
"Because~" Shikamaru paused while his grip loosened "because, I. . ."
"You're what?" Ino asked impatiently. Shikamaru looked at her as he totally let go of her wrist and flew his muscular hand on Ino's shoulders.
"I want you to . . . stop doing those missions . . . and marry Me." he said; he was blushing. Ino was surprised at his sudden proposal and even more surprised when Shikamaru knelt in front of her and offered her a silver band with a cushion-cut blue-coloured stone.
"Shika~" Ino gasped and her eyes became watery as an overwhelming feeling devoured her. She immediately hugged the man kneeling in front of her when the ring was finally laid on her finger, Shikamaru took in her flushed face and looked deeply on her blue orbs.
"Marry me Ino" he said once again. Ino nodded her head as tears freely escaped on her eyes; she cupped his face and kissed him. And that was definitely a yes.
