As soon as the bell rung Shino and Kiba ran out of the class to the parking lot. Ino and Chouji headed to the slums.
"Where are we going for lunch?" Chouji asked in a hurry. "The usual?"
"Yep." She agreed while opening her locker. "Hey…what's this?" Chouji smiled, at the two small gift boxes in her locker. She opened the navy one and saw a golden heart shaped locket.
"From?" Chouji sniffled his bag of onion rings before eating them.
"Sasuke…"Ino winced and put it back in the box. "Must have been meant to hide for Sakura." She picked up the green one and put it in her backpack.
Chouji laughed. " Aren't you gonna open it?"
"In front of Shika." Ino smiled. And waved Chouji off the parking lot, where they ate lunch…or pretended to.
"Ino…" Sakura sung walked behind her. "Here, piggy, piggy."
"Hey, Haruno." Ino gave her the cold shoulder. As she teased her hair a bit.
"Mousse?" Sakura sighed. "Ino, I'm sorry."
"Don't tell me." Ino smiled. "Apologize to my friends. You know the stoners."
Sakura nodded, "Will you stop being mad at me?"
"Will you start being supportive?" Sakura nodded once more. "Then yes, I'll stop being mad at you." Ino hugged.
"Why him?" Sakura asked closing Ino's locker.
"He makes me happy." Ino smiled walking toward Kiba's van, sliding the door open getting in. "That's all. Now…"
"Sakura." They all said in unison.
"Guys…" Sakura sighed. "Shikamaru I'm sorry. For judging you and not being the for Ino…it was wrong of me." He nodded.
"How kind." He stifled a laugh, already half way to the moon. "Wanna join us?"
Sakura shook her head. "I have make up work and yeah…" Kiba laughed.
"Maybe another time?" She smiled and nodded. "Cool. See ya in gym." When Sakura walked back to the school. They all laughed. Ino hit all of them.
"What?" Shikamaru cried. "It was funny!!"
"No it wasn't." Ino scowled and moved to the back of the van. "If Sakura think's you're a bad influence, then she'll tell her parents, then she'll tell mine…"
"…What does that mean?" Chouji sighed,
"it means, that I won't be able to see you guys." Ino looked at Shikamaru. "And we would be forbidden to date…"
"Are we a bad influence?" Kiba teased.
"No, your only influences on me is that you guys make me violent. But other then that… No." Ino smiled. Shikamaru wrapped his arm around her waist and sighed.
"Oh…Shit…!!" Chouji whispered, nudging Kiba and Naruto. " Look whose here…" Chouji pointed in the distance. Where they came. Temari, Gaara and Kankuro walked into the parking lot.
"Ino, I believe you have something that belongs to me…" Temari took her hands out of her pockets. Ino looked Temari up and down, from her crazy, now frizzy windblown hair to her half dressed body.
"Oh? I mean, you need more clothes… but I'm pretty sure we aren't the same size…" Ino smirked. "But Temari, what the hell are you talking about?"
"Shikamaru. Play time is over and I'm sure his ready to move on to bigger and better things." Temari motioned her hands toward her body, modeling her skinny legged jeans and her belly shirt, exposing the fishnets underneath.
"You mean a STD?" Shikamaru stifled a laugh into Ino's back, holding her in front of him. "But no thanks Temari, he's good right here."
"Yeah sure… A life with just good conversation and babysitting." Temari moved closer, shoving her backpack into Kankuro's chest. " All batteries included, and sex sold separately?"
Ino stared at Temari. "What the hell…does that mean?" Ino yanking herself from Shikamaru's hold. Temari smiled. "Spit it the fuck out Temari… your wasting my time."
"Oh shit!" Shino coughed, climbing out of the van, sitting next to Shikamaru. "Girls fighting over you?" Shikamaru shook his head.
"Nah, there's no fight, Ino's already got me." Shikamaru tossed his voice so that the entire parking lot heard him.
"Well…That's not gonna stop Yammy from fighting Temari…I had to wake up for this."
"Swearing, Ino? Not very lady like." Temari cooed, circling Ino like a hawk.
"Heh, Oh, and like you know what it is to be a lady...?" Ino spat pulling off Shikamaru's jacket, throwing it toward Shino. "Temari, I can take you gawking at MY Shikamaru, I can take you talking shit because, face it. You are some shit. But I will not take you saying shit like this about me anymore." Ino pushed Temari and stepped in front of her. "What the fuck do you want from me?!?"
"A fight. You and me. No one else, and no tap outs. Today. After school." Temari cracked her knuckles, smirking at Ino's expression. Of confusion and anger.
"No…fuck after school, lets settle this Right here. Right Fucking. Now." Ino pushed Temari harder, making her stumble. Shikamaru jumped up and grabbed Ino.
"Okay okay, play nice girlies." He cooed, kissing her forehead. "Now, Temari. I don't want you. I only have eyes for a couple of blondes, and you aren't one of em'. Deal with it."
5...4...3...2...1...RING!!!!
"Hey let's go." Kiba yelled turning off his van and locking it. Shikamaru got Ino's things and took her by the hand, walking her to her lokcer. Shino stayed in the parking lot, as did Gaara. They eye'd eachother for a while and nodded.
"You him?" Shino's voice was deep, and muffled from the scaf wraped tightly around his face.
"Way to form sentences, Aburame." Gaara teased. "Or...pest." Shino tensed.
"Who did you?" Shino laughed, "Okay, Metallica. Meet me...at Tragic Magic, tonight. Bring no one. But your crew. and I'll bring mine. And we can get this shit over with." Gaara nodded, and walked off into the building. Shino sighed.
"Too old for this shit."
Ino opened her locker sighing heavily, trying not to let the frustation take over her. She got her books for her last period before she had to leave for work. Shikamaru smiled, moving his bang out of his eyes. Leaning on Sasuke's locker.
"Ino..."Shikamaru purred, sliding his hand across her waist, rocking her side to side. "Calm down, as much as I like how sexy you look when your anger, I like it better when you smile." Ino smiled turning into Shikamaru's chest, and sighed heavily.
"Shikamaru, you don't want me to fight her...do you?" Shikamaru shook his head, "Then...help me get rid of my anger." Shikamaru smirked and pulled out his phone.
Text Message. Shino A. (Pest)
Hey, I'm gonna need you to get Ino outta' here. Pronto. Shikamaru frowned "What the fuck?"
"Why, what's going on? I'm leaving with her anyway...but?"
The,,,,thing.
Shikamaru sighed to himself, and smiled. Ino got her things together and closed her locker. And began walking with Shikamaru.
"Ino!!" Tenten shouted through the crowd in the Slums. "You are not seriously going to fight Temari are you?!?
"Why not?"Ino shrugged, holding Shikamaru's hand. "She asked for it. So...consider me Santa Claus."
"Ino, is she really worth ruining you reputation for? Disappointing your father?" Tenten, sqwaked
"Ten. It's different." Ino smiled pausing at the Parking lot doors. " And you sound like my mother."
"Yammy, you never answered my question." Tenten paused, "Is it worth it?" Is she worth it?"
"Ten, Everybody has there price." Ino sighed, "Temari just wrote a check she can't cash."
"Wait...what do you mean?" Tenten asked, clutching the strap on her messenger bag.
"What the heck, Ten. Do you need me to spell it out??" Tenten nodded, teasing. "My price in life for being disrespected is bloodshed. And Temari id my debtor. My price is Temari's blood. And I want it on the floor... I'll call you after work."
The car ride to Shikamaru's complex was hectic, Ino's hands were on his thigh, and Shikamaru's hand was tugging at her sweater.
"Ino..." Shinkamaru cooed. "Come on now. I need to concentrate on driving safety. Wouldn't want daddy's baby to get hurt."
"Thinking of my father, Shika?" Ino blushed. Shikamaru chuckled
"No...I actually had another man in mind. But your father would kill me if you got hurt." Ino tilted her head at Shikamaru, he smiled, pulling into the parking lot.
"What other man?" Ino asked getting out of the car, walking to the door. "I only have one father and his name is Inoichi Yamanaka."
"True, but you only have one daddy." Shikamaru unlocked the door, kissing her. "And right now, his name...is Shikamaru."
Shikamaru picked her up leaning on the door, locking it. Ino wrapped her legs around him and bit his lip. Shikamaru flopped on the couch Ino licked his ear, and kissed his neck. Shikamaru moaned, moving his hand from her hair to her shoulders, taking off her jacket. Fiddling with her sweater. Ino began to laugh and pulled her phone out of her pocket.
"Who is it?" Shikamaru whined, Ino kissed him softly,
"Hinata." She chimed answering the phone. "What can I do for you?"
"I know what you can do for me..." Shikamaru whispered under his breathe, Ino blushed as Shikamaru ran his fingers up and down her sides.
"Ino...Temari um...uh....she..."Hinata stammered
"Hinata, spit it out." Kiba shouted in the background.
"Hinata?"Ino voice was concerned,
"Temari, is saying that you left to...um, do obscure things to shikamaru..."
"But I kinda did...other then he made me." Ino smiled, "But seriously, what's up?"
Kiba snatched the phone away. "Temari is calling you a punk bitch, and if you don't get your ass down here, Yamanaka I'll hit this bitch for you."
"Kiba, that's not gonna happen." Ino, said calmy getting her things and Shikamaru's keys. "Becasue once I get there, her ass is mine!!"
"Ino, wait!!"
