Just Out Of His Reach

Chapter 2: He said, She said

Miyoru-Chan: Thank you for reviewing, I'm glad you like my story, the idea that Ino hated Shikamaru never really crossed my mind...all I know is that she might start to hate him later on in my story...gasp did I just give away part of the plot, forget everything you just read whistles

Trenchcoatgirl-Kyo: Heh, I could totally imagine Ino's face if Shikamaru got Temari pregnant, that is, if Temari wouldn't immediately kill Shikamaru for getting her pregnant...


Ino finally made her way over to Temari's hotel, she found her room door, and before knocking she took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, she knocked twice and waited for a reply. Temari answered the door wrapped in just a towel, her hair was down and dripping and it was obvious that she had run out of the shower.

Temari: Ino? What do you need?

Ino: Nothing, I was just wondering if you were going to breakfast with Shikamaru tomorrow morning...sheesh, no wonder Shikamaru spends so much time with Temari, she's hotter then I thought, but she's no comparison to me...

Temari: Yeah, I am, why?

Ino: No reason...

Temari: Look, if you have problems with me going out to breakfast with Shikamaru then just say so.

Ino: You mean if I just asked you, then you would stop?

Temari: Of course not, but we could work something out.

Ino: Forget it then. I've got better things to do.

Temari: Then go right on ahead.

Ino stormed out the door and Temari closed it firmly behind her. Temari finished showering and Ino got home while Shikamaru was changing for bed.

Ino: Shikamaru! You're getting ready for bed?

Shikamaru: Obviously.

Ino: Heh, uh do you want to do anything tomorrow night?

Shikamaru: I'll think about it.

Ino: Why don't you ever take me out anymore?

Shikamaru: Because it's troublesome.

Ino: Well you're taking Temari out!

Shikamaru: She's my friend!

Ino: So you'd rather go out with a "friend" than your girlfriend?

Shikamaru: Whatever.

Ino: Shikamaru, you have to start listening to me while I'm talking to you!

Shikamaru: You are such a troublesome woman!

Ino: You're one to talk!

Ino continued to rant and yell but Shikamaru wasn't interested in listening anymore he instead started to walk out the door, he didn't tell Ino where he was going obviously. Once he was out the door he didn't have any idea on where to go, he at first thought that he should visit Chouji but he knew that he would be asleep, he considered simply walking around Konoha but that idea seemed troublesome, he then got the idea to visit Temari, he knew that she went to bed very late and chances were she would be very bored and wouldn't mind his visit. Shikamaru went over to her hotel and knocked on her door, she opened it in her pajamas and sure enough she looked bored.

Temari: Hey Shikamaru, what are you doing over here at this time?

Shikamaru: Nothing, Ino is being troublesome again.

Temari: Oh well it'll blow over, she's pissed that we're going out to breakfast tomorrow morning.

Shikamaru: Troublesome, why does she have to be so jealous?

Temari: She cares about you, that's all.

Shikamaru: Can I come in?

Temari: Sure.

Temari stepped aside and let Shikamaru in he, flopped down on her couch and massaged his temples. Temari flopped down next to him and poked him in the ribs hard and laughed as he tensed and muttered "troublesome". Shikamaru playfully yanked on a piece of Temari's hair and poked her in the cheek.

Temari: Ino's a lucky girl to have a boyfriend like you. Oops uh, that wasn't a good thing to say to a guy who's taken...

Shikamaru: Eh, the feeling isn't exactly mutual. What does she mean by that?

Temari: Come on...Ino's pretty hot.

Shikamaru: She is hot, but we just don't get along.

Temari: Don't worry, all couples have their little fights. It'll blow over.

Shikamaru: I hope so...

Temari: Hey, cheer up! Depression is contagious you know. Look at me, I'm single and I still manage to stay positive!

Shikamaru: Fine, but there is still a problem, I can't go back home.

Temari: Why not? Is Ino threatening to kill you?

Shikamaru: I wish...she'll probably make me sleep on the couch, only after she yells at me for about half and hour.

Temari: You can spend the night here, you might as well seeing as how you'll be taking me out tomorrow morning.

Shikamaru: Thanks.

Temari: No problem.

Temari walked off and got some blankets for Shikamaru to bed down on the couch. Shikamaru was drinking a glass of juice that was way too full and when he sat down he ended up spilling it all over the couch.

Temari: Shikamaru! Look what you've done! Where are you going to sleep now?

xoxoxoxo

Temari: Shikamaru, that better not be your hand on my butt!

Shikamaru: What? No Blush of course not!

Shikamaru sheepishly moved his hand away, in all honesty he wasn't trying to grab anything, Temari simply rolled over onto his hand (Me: Riiiight...). Shikamaru ended up having to share Temari's bed, while he pretended that it was troublesome, secretly he liked it, it was like they were dating, something that we all know he really wants.

Temari: Make sure that no one finds out about this, got it? If Ino found out all hell would break loose!

Shikamaru: Don't worry I know how to keep a secret...

xoxoxox

Chouji: So you really shared a bed with Temari?

Shikamaru: Yeah, and I'll say, it wasn't at all troublesome...

Chouji: Lucky man, a lot of guys have tried to get Temari in that position...

Shikamaru: I didn't do it on purpose, you know that we're just friends...

Chouji: You're probably the only one that believes that...

Shikamaru: What do you mean?

Chouji: I'm just saying that everyone in Konoha thinks that you guys like each other...

Shikamaru: Troublesome busybodies with nothing better to do then gossip...

Chouji: Well you guys are always together...

Shikamaru had just finished having breakfast with Temari and he was now instead having lunch with Chouji, even though he told Temari he wouldn't tell anyone, he was after all a guy, and he couldn't resist the opportunity to tell a fellow guy of his night's event, also Chouji was after all his best friend, so he had to tell someone.

Shikamaru: Troublesome, you are the only person who knows, so you better keep this to yourself, got it?

Chouji: Don't worry Shikamaru, who would I tell?

xoxoxoxo

Tenten: Hey Chouji!

Chouji: Hey Tenten, how are you?

Tenten: Good, anything new with you?

Chouji: Well nothing new with me, but I can't say the same for Shikamaru...Shit! Shit! I'm dead...if not by the hands of Shikamaru, but by the hands of Temari...

Tenten: What happened!

Chouji: Nothing! Nothing...whistles

Tenten: Chouji...what is it?

Chouji: Uh, I forgot?

Tenten: Chouji...don't play with me...tell me right now, or I'll punch you in the head!

Chouji: Cowers Ok ok! Don't hurt me! ShikamaruSpentTheNightWithTemari!

Tenten: WHAT! Oh my god! Are you serious!

Chouji: No comment

Tenten: I can't believe he's cheating on Ino!

Chouji: No! Nothing happened they just shared a bed! Oops, that's even worse!

Tenten: Oh my god!

Chouji: Don't tell anyone please!

Tenten: Don't worry Chouji.

So ok I would type up the rest of the conversations but that takes too long, so heres what happened, Tenten let it slip to Kiba, who told Hinata, who then told Naruto, who then told Sakura who then told--well everyone else! Anyway everyone in Konoha found out except for Ino, but Sakura being Ino's best friend told her over dinner.

Ino: Hey Sakura, hear anything juicy today?

Sakura: Boy did I ever...do you know where Shikamaru was last night?

Ino: I don't know and I don't care, we got into another fight!

Sakura: Well maybe you'd like to know that Shikamaru spend the night with Temari! They shared a bed!

Ino: WHAT?

Sakura: Cowers Uh hehe, yeah.

Ino: I"m going to kill Shikamaru, but not before I get back at Temari!

Sakura: Calm down Ino! Temari is really strong!

Ino: I don't care! Maybe I won't fight her! There are many ways to destroy a person without laying a finger on them! I'm going to teach her never to touch my man!

A/N: Lala, I'm finally done! Yeah I know this chapter is really bad but hey, at least I make one right?
