This fic was inspired when I was listening to one of System of a Down's songs, "Question!".

Nara Shikamaru stood at the gravesite of Yamanaka Ino, a tear streaming down his face.

This is the reason why women are troublesome, he thought grimly. This is why they're so FUCKING troublesome!
Ghosts are now
Waiting for you
Are you?
Why did you have to die? Why? Why! WHY! Damn it, it doesn't make any fucking sense why!

I thought you were going to be with me forever! I thought we were supposed to die of old age, not like this! Not in some troublesome fight!

Damn it, you stupid woman! Why did you have to die on me like that! Don't you realize what you mean to me!

All right
Don't you realize that... that I loved you? More tears flooded his eyes and dripped down his already wet face.

Yes, I love you. There, I've said it. But I couldn't even say that to your face. Why couldn't I, you ask.

Well for one thing, it was troublesome. Yeah, I know. That was expected from me. Hell, if you were still alive, you'd smack me right now.

But that's not my only reason. Damn, it's troublesome to say, but… I was afraid you might reject me. I really was.

I'm sorry I couldn't tell you before. I really am. I've always seen you looking at Sasuke all the time. And then you got so pissed when he started dating Sakura.

What am I saying? It's my lazy-ass fault you're dead. If I told you about how I felt, things would have been different! SHIT!

Why didn't I have the heart to tell you? How come I didn't stop you from going on that mission? It would have taken just a simple movement to stop you!

I'd commit shinju right now, but Naruto, Chouji, Sakura, Kiba, even Sasuke needs me here; to live just a little longer to help them.

It's getting late I have to go now. Before he went, he bent down and kissed the gravestone. "I miss you, and I'm sorry."

By the way, Shinju means "lovers' suicide".
