Warning: Well I was going to warn that if your ShikaIno fan not to read, but there is strongly hinted Shikatema. But it is One-sided ShikaIno
I call to you, please follow the voice that hollers from my heart. Look, please look and turn around. Just once look behind you. Please I beg of you, stop aching for what's ahead of you. Can't you see me? Can't you? I've always been here, always.
My voice calls to you. I try to scream until everything in me goes numb. But nothing my words mute. As if I was looking at you through telescope. Please hear my words; please turn around to my plea. Can't you hear?
I was confused once but now, now I know I've always just wanted you to look, I don't even care if it's a glance. But just something, something to know that I existed, that I wasn't invisible. That you know I was standing right there behind you.
Now standing here once again behind, but still, as always you do not look behind you. Because as always there she is, standing beside you, in the white, the white I've always yearned to wear next to you.
I've always been eclipsed by her, by her everything, she was always prettier. She was always stronger. She was always so much like me but always better. You could never once see past the shadow she cast over me. You would never turn around, and look at me.
"Please just once couldn't you have turned around" My voice was a silent plea from my mouth, but I as always I thought my voice would be mute to your ears. The words I've always wanted to head from you, leaked from your mouth to her, everlasting promises. Of love, of everything my heart tried to call out to you, even now.
You turned and started to walk away. You heard me for the first time, but you might think I hadn't heard you but the words still reached my ears. "Ino, I did, you just never looked up"
With the words that finally shattered my world, you walked out the doors hand and hand with her. Not once did you turn around, glance behind. You walked out into the world, and out of my life, forever.
A/N: Alrighty it's Shikamaru and yes he did marry Temari. And I figured that if they ever did get married (Twitches) Ino would end up a bridesmaid because she was so close to Shikamaru, and by the looks of things Temari has mainly guy friends...so few people to pick from.
