A/N~ Okay, so I may or may not continue my Twilight fanfic, because it is kind of crappy, but I started this Naruto story a few days ago, and it is only two chapters, but it is going to be at least five or six. I will try to have it complete and all posted by the end of next week. Reviews would be appreciated!

DISCLAIMER~ I do not own Naruto, but I do own the plot of this story.

Shikamaru and Ino have been married for three years. They are both 23 years old, and still ninja's. Ino was there for Shika when Asuma died, now it is Shika's time to return the favor.

Shikamaru woke up to the sound of retching. "What a drag," he mumbled quietly to himself. He slowly got out of bed, and ran to the bathroom. In the bathroom he saw Ino hunched over the toilet. She had one arm wrapped around her stomach, and her other hand was holding her hair from falling in her face.

Shika walked over to her and took her hair in his own hand. Ino fell to her knees and continued to retch. Shika used his free hand to rub her back in a soothing manner. "Its okay just let it all out love." Shika said quietly, trying to further sooth his ill wife.

Once Ino finished she leaned back against Shika, who was now sitting on the floor. "Babe, I think I have the stomach flu," Ino said weakly.

"Probably, I will go tell Lady Tsunade that you and I can't go on missions for a while," Shika replied. He then helped Ino to the bed. Then he got dressed and walked to the Hokage's office.

"Lady Tsunade," Shika said when he entered the room.

"Yes Shikamaru?" was Tsunade's response.

"Ino is sick with the stomach flu and I will most likely get it as well," Shika stated.

'You two will have no missions for two weeks." Tsunade said simply.

"Thank you," Shika replied then left.

Once he got home he found Ino once again in the bathroom. He held her hair out of her face. Once she finished she looked at him.

"Shika, I feel like crap," Ino said.

"I know, love, Tsunade gave us two weeks off." Shika replied. Ino nodded and Shika wiped her mouth with a damp cloth and helped her back to bed.

"Think you can try to keep down some water and toast?" Shika questioned.

"Water yes, food no." Ino said in response. Shika nodded and left to get Ino her water. He returned to the room to see Ino broke out into a cold sweat, indicating fever.

"Here, small sips." Shika said as he handed Ino her water. He then got a damp, cool cloth and wiped her face. He then laid the cloth on her forehead.

"Shika." Ino said, and then started to cry.

"What's wrong?" Shika asked concerned while pulling Ino into a hug.

"I hate this." Ino chocked out.

"I know, shhh, it will all be over soon." Shika replied.

Ino went asleep around 10am, so Shika got comfortable and he to fell asleep. About 30minutes later Shika woke up to a gagging sound. He looked at Ino and found her sitting up trying to get out of the bed.

Ino quickly put her hand over her mouth and looked towards the bathroom with desperation clear on her face. Shika got out of bed and made a move to help Ino up to get her to the bathroom, but the small movement was too much for her, and she threw up on the bed.

When she finished she looked at Shika. "I am so sorry." Ino said quietly on the verge of tears.

'It's not your fault." Shika said while helping Ino up, and to the bathroom. "Get cleaned up, I will go clean the bed." Shika said, giving a sympathetic look to his wife. Ino nodded and got cleaned up. Shika cleaned the bed and took Ino a pair of his boxers and one of his shirts.

Ino put the cloths on and then kneeled in front of the toilet. Shika pulled her hair out of her face. Ino had nothing left in her system, so she dry heaved. When the dry heaving stopped she tried to stand up but failed miserably. Shika picked her up bridal style and carried her to the bed and gently sat her down.

"I am going to get you some water….and a bucket." Shika said. Ino nodded and Shika left. When he returned Ino took small sips of the water.

"Shika, can we watch a movie?" Ino asked.

"Yes, come on; let's go to the living room." Shika replied. He helped Ino to the living room and sat her on the couch. He went back to their room and got the bucket, Ino's water, and a blanket.

Once back in the living room he sat the water on the in table and bucket on the floor by the couch. Then he sat down. Ino put her head on his shoulder, and Shika put the blanket over both of them.

"Babe, push play." Ino said quietly. Shika nodded and pushed play. Ino snuggled closer to her beloved husband.

"Ino, I love you, never forget that." Shika said out of the blue.

"Shika, I love you too, I would kiss you but I am sick." Ino replied.

"So." Was Shika's short reply. He then placed his lips to hers. When they broke apart Ino snuggled even closer to Shika (if that is possible). She soon fell asleep. Shika kissed her forehead, and he too fell asleep.
