Chapter 2

Shikamaru

Shikamaru came running down the stairs.

"Crap!" He whispered all the way, until he got to the bottom of the stairs.

'Why did it all of the sudden get cold?' He looked down and realized that he wasn't wearing a shirt...

Or pants...

Only his boxers...

"DAMMIT!!" He shot his hand up to his mouth. He remembered that Ino was sleeping on the couch. About a foot from where he was standing. He closed his eyes. Thinking that maybe if he couldn't see her, then she couldn't see him, or hear him, or feel his presence, or forget what he just said.

After a few seconds he opened his eyes.

No one.

He slowly let out a sigh of releif. He walked into the kitchen and got him a glass of water.

Then he heard a noise behind him. Then he heard footsteps. Then another noise.

'That can't be Ino! She's was slepping the last time I checked... The only person in the house that gets up at this time is me... Then it must be a BURGLAR!!'

Ino

"DAMMIT!!"

Ino's eyes shot open.

'Who was that?' She thought. 'There's no way that it's Shikamaru! He wouldn't be up this early!It's still dark outside!'

She listened closely.

Nothing.

Then she heard walking and the Kitchen light went on. She some rustling.

"A BURGLAR!" She whispered.

She got up and grabbed the first thing that she could find. A book.

'This won't do!!' She thought.

She looked around the room.

A vase.

She grabbed it then backed up against the wall. She tiptoed to the edge of the doorway that led into the kitchen. She moved the vase to where it was above her head. She was ready to strike.

Shikamaru

'What do I do?! UHHHHHHHH... I know! I'll bring this sucker down! I'll hit him with a frying pan!!' Shikamaru tiptoed to the cuppard and very quietly, but quickly, pulled out the frying pan.

He backed up against the wall.

Shikamaru slowly floated to the edge of the doorway that led into the living room. He lifted the frying pan to where it was above his head. He was ready to strike.

Ino

'Alright. I'll count to 3. Then I will run in and hit that sucker in the head! Hard!!'

Shikamaru

'On the count of 3. I will run in and hit him in the head! He will never know what hit him!'

Ino

'1...'

Shikamaru

'2...'

Ino and Shikamaru

'3...'

Ino and Shikamaru both came out into the doorway. But stopped dead in their tracks.

"Ino?" Shikamaru lowered his frying pan.

"Shikamaru?" She lowered her vase.

"I was about to Kick Your Ass!" They both said at the same time. They both started to laugh.

After their laughing moment, they both put away their "Killer" object and sat on the couch.

They both just stared at eachother.

Then, they both realized what the other one was wearing and blushed. Bright Red!

"I... I-I..." Shikamaru turned the other way and started to rub the back of his neck.

"S-Sorry!" Ino managed to stutter out. She turned the other way and hugged her arms around her knees.

The Silence felt like it was unbrakeable.

Then Shikamaru finally was brave enough to say something.

"Sorry that I woke you up."

"It's alright."

Another silence.

"I should get to work." Shikamaru got up.

Ino turned around to look at him but quickly turned back while blushing.

"Do you mind if I help?" She asked him.

"S-Sure. If you want to." Shikamaru was surprised by her answer. But he'll just go along with it.

The chapter sucked when Ino woke up!! Well R&R I guess...
