After many hours of screaming and things being thrown Hiashi had finally gotten Hinata to calm down and realize that no matter what was said by her or Shikamaru though the latter didn't say much nothing would change. In twelve days they would become husband on wife and within the next month Hinata would take over as the clan head.
It had been nearly one day since that conversation and Shikamaru had set to work trying to win Hinata over. They didn't really talk all that much growing up yet they were pulled together in the same group, she'd always been shy and reserved saving her smiles for the one she adored the most. Shikamaru had honestly been shocked when she stormed into their home grabbing both himself and his father without a word.
Of course he knew nothing about her other than her nature that seemed to be completely wrong, for something like this he was going to need some help. If there was one thing about Shikamaru that everyone knew other than the fact that he was lazy it was that he hated asking anyone for anything.
He was not only going to have to tell another living soul that his father had signed him away to the devil but this particular soul was the one that knew Hinata better than she knew herself. This person was the one that Hinata would have wanted to spend the rest of her life with if things had gone the way they should have.
If life was fair Kiba Inuzuka would have the sweet hime that they had all grown up with, but life was a troublesome bitch and instead Shikamaru had been cursed with satan.
After discovering that Hinata had a love for plants, Shikamaru had gone out of his way to purchase a Sakura tree for her. Nothing too fancy just a few branches and the pink leaves something that any plant lover would be proud of. He would have to think of something nice for Ino and Kiba for their help.
That tree lasted an entire week before Shikamaru and Hinata had an arguement that led to the white eyed Hyuga woman taking Sasuke's Katana (Where the hell she got that from Shikamaru would never know.) and chopping the damn thing down.
He'd wound up standing in the door way of the small cottage they were forced to share with his mouth wide open.
It was clear that this was going to be alot harder than he originally thought, Hinata didn't seem to want to be won over.
