Shikamaru was tired, nothing new I guess.
But really, he was.
Tired of all these damn women!
I mean Ok it had been nice to hear about the day and how things were going, but really he did not need to know the status of every single relationship in konoha and what lip balm was in stock in whatever shop he had the least interest in.
He turned to the she-beast or Ino her preferred name who was spouting this nonsense and said for the millionth time today
"I don't care"
His plea like many, many others through the day(it was only the morning) came unnoticed and she continued to spout out some other nonsense of something about Sakura seducing Sasuke with this new lip balm of hers.
Shikamaru groaned, the damn woman managed to mix the two subjects together.
He turned to Chouji hopefully looking for moral support, but all was lost on him, he was amidst gazing into Ino's eyes, but somehow managing to eat at full pace at the same time.
Shikamaru slumped silently into his seat in a way his mother would certainly curse him not to, but recently he had been ignoring her jibes hoping she would get the hint and leave him alone.
Of course she hadn't.
This was shown through his morning when she had managed to comment about his schoolwork, burn his pancakes and manage to book an appointment to see the headmaster. All at the same time.
And multitasking was meant to be a good thing?
He sighed and traced his eyes around the room, looking for something to focus on rather than continue to hear some of Ino's fabulous (her words not his) Morning commentaries.
He was not struck by Sasuke's "amazing" new haircut, neither Kiba's ability to sleep with his eyes open.
But he did gain some interest in watching a sandy haired girl dive ever so slowly into the classroom with a look of pure rage in her eyes.
And apparently he was not the only one.
"Whats her problem ?" Ino said tearing herself away from the mindless world of Sasuke and lip gloss.
Her problem seemed to lie in every student she passed apparently. Well from the death stares she gave them it might as well be.
It would have been easy to, just as the other kids had avoid her gaze, but upon seeing the look that mimicked his mothers at times Shikamaru decided against it. He was not having another woman push him about. Not even a blond haired sandy women.
It only took a second, but needless to say it did make an impact.
He stared
Her eyes gazed upon him somewhat more than usual and flickered onwards nonchalantly.
Shikamaru smirked and counted this as a little victory, well until he felt a painful jab in his arm he did, and looked down not only to see that she was highly enraged but also had an affinity of poking people with the sharp end of her compass.
"Crazy woman" He muttered
"Damn men" She said
