Shikamaru or Sasuke?

Author's Note: Hey guys! I decided to write another romance/drama fanfic. In this story, all the main characters are seniors. So they're like 17-18 years old. Oh, and it's a new year for school. Please read the full summary.

Summary: And there it hit her. Ino was stuck between two loves. A lazy bestfriend that she knew for a very long time, and a cold-hearted guy that she thought before that he was just an 'emo bastard,' but actually he showed her his real sensitive side. Both guys confessed their feelings for Ino, but she has to pick one. Who will she choose? Is it Shikamaru or Sasuke?

Shikamaru's Pov:

I was just casually walking through the school hallways minding my own business, until I heard my name being called from behind me.

Shikamaru didn't even bother turning around. He knew who it was. He stopped and waited for her to come. Once he stopped, he felt a body against his back. He groaned, "Ino, get off of me, please."

Ino giggled, "Oh, come on, I missed you." She wrapped her arms around his neck while her legs are on his waist. She felt him pushing her away from him so she gave in and let go of him. "Hmm, you seem grumpy, what's wrong?"

He faced her and met eyes with the platinum-blonde. Her hair was up in a high pony tail and her bangs were finally out of her beautiful face. "I'm not grumpy, I just hate mornings."

She laughed, "Still the same old best friend I knew." She elbowed him and they started walking together to the bulletin boards where there new classes were for a new semester. "So how was summer break?"

"Great, until it ended." He replied with a lazy tone. He placed his fingers on the paper up on the bulletin board, trying to find his name. He found it and search Ino. He smirked, "I guess were in the same class."

Ino jumped in excitement and hugged him, "Yaaayy, like last year, right?"

Shikamaru hugged her back, "Yeah, I hope Choji or even Neji are in some of my classes too. But not Naruto, I can't deal with him or you being annoying while I try to take a nap in class." He pulled away from her and saw her smiled faded away.

She smacked him gently on the shoulder, "Hey, I'm not that annoying."

He chuckled, "You're also loud too."

Ino was about to reply back when she heard someone calling her name from the back. They both turned around and saw a spiky blonde with his brunette friend. Ino smiled and ran up to them while Shikamaru just stayed where he was.

She yelled, "Naarrrutttooo! Kiba! I missed you guys so much!" She both hugged them both, tight. She finally let go and view her friends. 'Hmm, they still look the same, but they did got hotter especially Kiba.'

Kiba smirked and turn to Naruto, "She's totally checking us out, Naruto."

Ino blushed and she notice that she was. Naruto run his hair through his hands. He smirked, "I know right." He turned to face Ino. "Sorry Ino, but I have a-.."

Ino cut him off, "Naruto, I don't like you…. well I like you, but I don't like, like you."

Kiba pushed Naruto to get Ino's attention. "Well since you don't like, like Naruto; I'm currently single and-…"

Ino cut him off as well. "Kiba, I like you as a friend."

Kiba smiled and wrapped his arms around Ino. "I know, I know." He replied. He turned around and saw Shikamaru standing behind them. He jumped, "Shikamaru? When did you get here? You were so quiet I didn't even see you standing there like a loner." He walked towards his lazy friend and they did a 'Bro Hug.'

"Well, hello to you too." Shikamaru replied.

Naruto and Ino walked towards them. Naruto and Shikamaru did a 'Bro Hug,' and they pulled away. "Hey Shikamaru, nice seeing you again." Naruto and Kiba both look for their names in the bulletin board.

Naruto smiled, "Hey look at that, Kiba and I are in the same homeroom, Room 66."

"Hey, me too!" Ino said.

"Same here." Shikamaru looked around to find some more of his friends, but he didn't spot them.

Suddenly, they heard fan girls screaming as if they saw a famous person or a really hot guy. The four turned their head to where the screaming is at. They all saw lots of girls following a raven-hair guy who is casually walking towards them. They all jumped and step back from the bulletin boards.

Ino looked at the raven-hair. She didn't recognize him at all or never seen him around school. He was wearing a sky-blue v-neck and black skinny jeans. His hair was a…. well, it looks like a chicken butt form of hair; but it still looks good. She turned to the boys in front of her, "Who is he?" She asked.

Naruto looked at the guy and he too didn't recognize him. "I guess he's new."

Kiba grinned, "He's new at this school and he already has fan girls."

Shikamaru scanned the new kid. He saw girls asking for his name and he didn't replied. He rolled his eyes, "I don't like him."

Ino giggled, "You don't know him. How come you don't like him?"

Shikamaru was going to reply, but he heard Naruto shhhing because he was coming their way.

While he was walking, Naruto stepped in front of him and held his hand out for him to shake. "Hi, I'm Naruto Uzumaki." He waited for him to shake hands, but he didn't. He dropped his hands back to his side. "Errr-… you must be new. What's your name?"

"Sasuke Uchiha." Sasuke replied. He felt strong arms around his shoulders. He looked up to see a smiling brunette. When he face Naruto, he saw two other people. A pineapple head and a blue eye blonde.

Kiba smirked, "Hi Sasuke, I'm Kiba Inuzuka." He pointed to his other friends, "That my friend is Shikamaru Nara and next to him is Ino Yamanka. Don't worry, she's single."

Sasuke rolled his eyes and took his arm out of his shoulders. "What makes you think I want to go out with …. Shino, right?" He stated.

"It's Ino…." She responded. "And don't bother going out with me… umm… Latte, right?" She snapped back.

'Shit, she's pissed.' Shikamaru thought.

Sasuke smirked, "It's Sasuke." Sasuke stared at Ino up and down. He had to admit she was beautiful. Somehow, he fined her attractive too.

Naruto cleared his throat trying to clear the awkward silence. "Sooo Sasuke, what room number are you in?"

"Room 66." He retorted.

"Great, you're with us." Shikamaru said walking towards his class with his friends behind him.

Just seconds, they found their class and settled inside the room. The class was filled with lots of seniors. They were all loud since the teacher didn't come in.

"Aaaaaahhhh! Innnooooo!" A pink hair girl screamed running towards Ino.

Ino pushed her bag to Shikamaru for him to hold. She yelled and ran up to her best friend, "Sakura!" She hugged her and Sakura hugged her back. The four boys started at them as the girls were having their conversations.

"Oh my gosh, Ino, you're so pretty." Sakura commented.

"Aww thanks. You're looking cute today. Who are you trying to impress?" Ino teased.

Sakura laughed and she looked behind Ino. She saw three familiar faces, but one dark raven-hair she didn't know. "Hmm, maybe him."

Ino confused at this asked, "What?" Ino watch when Sakura walk towards the four boys. She groaned, 'Great another fan girl.'

Sakura smiled, "Hey Kiba, Naruto, Shikamaru." She faced the new kid, "Oh, who's this?" She wondered.

"This is Sasuke." Naruto said. "Sasuke this is Sakura."

"Oh, nice to meet you." Sakura held out her hand for a shake, but didn't get one. She playfully pinched his cheeks and it annoyed him. "Well seems like Sasuke is a little bit shy." She walked away and took a vacant seat with Ino.

"Sooo, Sasuke, what do you think of Sakura?" Kiba asked.

Sasuke rolled his eyes. 'Annoying, weird, and a huge forehead? Nope she's not my type.' Sasuke decided to ignore the question so he won't cause trouble. He saw his new friends taking an empty seat far away from Sakura and Ino. He followed and took a seat with them.

Ino smiled when she see her best friend taking a seat next to her. "Did you meet Sasuke?"

"He's cute." Sakura replied. "I call dibs on him."

Ino chuckled, "You can have him; he's not my type." Ino looked around and saw girls staring at him and commenting how hot he is. "Seems like all the girls are into him."

"You don't like him?" Sakura asked.

"Nope." Ino uttered.

"Come on, he's hot." She pleaded.

"He is hot…" Ino agreed. "But I don't like him."

She smirked, "Oh, I get it."

"Get what?" Ino questioned.

"You have feelings for your best friend." Sakura said.

Ino cheeks turned pink and looked away. "Sakura, I don't like you in that way. I-…"

"I'm not talking about me, you dumbo." Sakura blurted. "I'm talking about Shikamaru."

Ino confused at when she said his name. "Sh-Shikamaru?"

"Yeah, your lazy best friend." Sakura replied.

Ino sigh, "I don't like Shikamaru that way. Him and I are just best friends and always will be."

"Are you sure?" Sakura asked.

Ino rejoined, "Yes Pinky, I'm sure."

"Whatever you say, Blondie." Sakura joked. She looked around and saw Sasuke again. She can't help, but staring at him. "Hey Ino, do you think I have chances with Sasuke?"

"Sakura, you barely know him. Get to know him and maybe yeah, you could have chances with him." Ino said.

"Can I ask you something?" Sakura questioned.

Ino smiled, "Ask me anything." She placed her hands on her chin, waiting for the question.

"What was your first impression of Sasuke."

"Since you ask…" Ino said. "An emo bastard." She blurted to the pink hair.
