Ino angrily pulled the bed covers over her head. "Stupid Shikamaru." She muttered. After being mauled by her teammate she ran straight home. Nothing could have prepared her for such a shock. Never in her right mind did she think he would kiss her. She placed fingers gently on her lips. My first kiss, stolen by Shikamaru. "erg" she rolled over in despair. She wanted to beat him till his last breath. Still it was mostly her fault, the jutsu worked.
The cat seemed to have much more self-control then Shikamaru had. Ino wondered if the cat being of another species and thus was less affected by the Jutsu. While Shikamaru being human like her, was affected more then she had anticipated. When she was finally able to sleep she had many dreams. In one dream every man in the village was falling for her. Ultimate power! In another she dreamed of Shikamaru kissing her again, only she didn't resist. Her final dream showed something in which could become reality. Shikamaru so in love with Ino he would be willing to freeze Sasuke in place so Ino could cast her Jutsu on him.
Ino woke up smiling to herself. Not willing to reveal which dream brought her such pleasure. Happily she got herself out of bed, then opening her window to let in the morning air. Her eyes widened and she stumbled backwards in shock. "Shikamaru!" she screamed. He smiled and wave at her from the other side of the window. "What- WHAT are you doing? Go away!" she slammed the window shut. He just continued to smile and look at her with loving eyes. "Erg!" she ran out of her room.
"Ino?" her mother called. "Is something wrong?"
"N-No mother." She replied.
When Ino finally found the courage to go back into her room Shikamaru was gone from her window. "Thank god." She continued on with her morning routine shower, clothes, makeup. When she was happy with her appearance she walked down stairs to find her mother talking to someone. At first she thought it might have been her father. She froze at the bottom step, no her father is out on a mission she reminded herself. Then a voice she knew all too well replied to her mothers.
Shi-Ka-Ma-Ru "he's going to give me frown lines." Taking a deep breath she walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table. Her normal spot there was already a plate of food waiting for her. She did her very best to ignore the staring man next to her. She are at a rather slow-fast pace not wanting her mom to suspect anything strange. "Thank you for breakfast mom." Ino said happily.
"Here let me take your plates." Her mom apporched picking him Ino's empty place and Shikamaru's half eaten. "Shikamaru, you hardly ate anything." She noticed. "Are you feeling okay?" she asked, and he just smiled that stupid smile at her. "Well okay dear." She walked to the sink and started to wash the dishes.
"Stop that." Ino whispered as Shikamaru's hand went to rest on top of hers. "This is embarrassing." She thought. Her cheeks turned red when he didn't pull away. "I said don't touch me." She said firmly pulling her out from under his.
"Did you say something dear?" Ino's mom asked over the sink water.
"I said, No lunch for me." She raised her voice with a smile. "I have to go now mom." Before her mom could reply Ino had rushed out the door with Shikamaru at her heels. They walked into the training fields. "Okay listen." She said turning to face him. "Don't come over to my house in the morning, that's just creepy." She insisted. Ino wondered if her demands would be met, or if she would have to request it of him. He still just smiled at her. "And take that stupid hair tie out of your hair."
Shikamaru reached for it but stopped suddenly. "You prefer my hair down?" he asked.
"Yes." She lied. Now that she thought about it. She couldn't think of one time she had seen Shikamaru with his hair down.
"Like this?" He asked as he ran his hands through his lose hair.
"He doesn't look half bad with his hair down." She thought. She shook the idea from her mind right away. This was no time for such things. "Step towards me." She ordered.
"You want me to be closer to you?" he asked his eyes looking deep into hers.
"Please come closer." She whispered in a rather sexy voice. Her cheeks flushed as she heard it come from her mouth. She took a step back as he got step closer to her. "Closer.." she said. He moved closer and she moved back only to see she was backing up to a tree. "W-wait." She said holding up her hand hoping to stop him from moving closer.
He stood and took her hand in his almost massaging her hand. "Is something wrong Ino?" he asked
"Darn it." She hissed to herself. This Jutsu was going to be harder to figure out then she cared for. Demanding an action seemed to case the person to question if they should take the action. "Well either way, it seems like he it does it in the end." Only if I want him to, she reassured herself. "So if I ask him not to do something.." she wondered.
"No it's just." She started. "This would be so hot if it was Sasuke." She almost had the image of it inside her head when his next words brought her back to reality.
"Did you want me to kiss you again?" he asked stepping closer towards her.
"N-No," she said her cheeks turning red, her back up against a tree. "I said no, I said no."
"Are you sure?" he asked learning in closer to her.
"Shikamaru, D-Don't." She whispered his lips almost meeting her. There was a brief moment he held back. Then their lips met.
