Ino POV:
Since the very beginning he has always been there for me. Our families being as close as they are would not have it any other way. We grew up knowing Ino-Shika-Cho and we trained to be just as great. I remember when we were in the academy and at that point I had just thought he was just another boy that I so happen to know. I had been too caught up in making friends and pinning over Sasuke to even give Shika and Choji a chance to really be my friends I was such a ditz back then that I didn't realize the blessing I had right in front of me, two truly great friends who would do anything to keep me safe and happy.
When we started in the academy and the competition for Sasuke started to become a bigger problem with all of the fangirls, and Sakura (Inner Thoughts: Traitor!) I started to slowly loose interest in the boy that everyone thought of as a model and was beginning to bond more with my true friends, the ones who have been there since the beginning, Shikamaru and Choji. Our parents encouraged this of course and slowly we have become the best of friends and no one could separate us thus was the start of the Ino-Shika-Cho sixteenth generation. We became so close in fact that our fathers would joke around when they thought we weren't listening and say that it is inevitable that I would end up with one of them... They even went as far as to make a bet to see who I will end up choosing and sadly for them it was neither... until I had a big realization that is... but that story is for later.
Present Day:
Shikamaru, Choji and I are as close as ever, no one can tear us down or keep us apart. Though that is true a lot of things have changed, I married Sai and currently have a 5 year old named Inojin. Inojin looks a lot like me but has taken a lot after his father when it comes to his fighting style though he has made his father's art techniques his own which I love. Shikamaru has married Temari surprise, surprise and they had one child of their own as well who is a couple months older then Inojin and his name is Shikadai. He is definitely his father's son though every now and then his mother shows through him. Choji is married to a girl named Karui and they have a 5 year old little girl named ChoCho who resembles her mother a lot. Our families are all still very close though Shikamaru's family and mine are the closest and we are always hanging out and planning family events together. It would seem that we are all happy and there is nothing to be upset about... but that would be wrong to assume.
We all have our secrets and they are about to come out and our worlds are about to come crumbling down.
