Chapter two: Lunch Date


Recap

"How about I come and get your for lunch tomorrow at the academy?" Shikamaru asked hoping she would say yes.

She smiled "sure sounds good" Ino said thinking 'finally here is my chance.'

"Tomorrow then" he said. Then he gave a wave and walked out into the cool night air, looking at the stars as he walked home 'Tomorrow' he thought.

"Tomorrow then" Ino repeated as she closed the door unable to stop smiling as she cleaned up the forgotten cups once filled with steaming coffee.

End of Recap

Beep, Beep, Beep, Be…. Ino yawned as she turned off her annoying alarm clock. She threw the nice and warm flannel sheets off her and got out of bed. She went and got dressed and ready for the day. Through this whole routine she smiled and giggled to herself. 'Today's the day I have lunch with Shikamaru' she thought to herself as she exited her small apartment and walked the dirty roads to where she worked.

Shikamaru opened his eyes slowly as the sun spilled into his room from the window. He groaned as he sat up slowly the cool air hit his muscular tan shirtless chest. He rubbed his sleepy eyes as he slowly got out of bed. He yawned as he stretched trying to become more aware of his surroundings. Once awake or awake as he would ever really be seeing how he was such a lazy person he got his clothes on and reached for his hair band and put his hair up in a messy ponytail on the top of his head. Shikamaru then proceeded down the stairs and out the door.

Ino arrived at the academy early like she always does just so she can get caught up on things or just chill in the room that she watched the kids. She walked in and turned the corner when she walked into her room she was welcomed by a beautiful vase fill with her favorite flowers. She was surprise to say the least only a couple of people knew what her favorite flowers were. "Hmm" she said as she examined the vase with the gorges violets she had ever seen. "There's a card" she says to no one in particular.

"To one of the loudest, troublesome woman I will ever meet, see you at lunch,

Sincerely Shikamaru" Ino read aloud. She smiled 'who knew Shikamaru really listened to me when I talked' she thought to herself. She giggled like the little children she watched all day long.

"Look who has a secret admirer" a girlish voice exclaimed

Ino jumped, surprised by the sudden voice. "Oh I guess I do don't I" Ino said as she turned around to see who it was talking to her.

"Oh so you don't know who it is?" the girl questioned

"No I do I'm just not going to tell you" Ino answered.

"Aw why not come on Ino, you know you can tell me anything" the other student teacher said batting her eyelashes and looking very innocent.

"No I can't trust you Airi, because I last timed I trusted you, you went and told everyone about it" "So no I'm not telling you." Ino said to the girl named Airi.

"What I don't remember that time I totally never told anyone anything about you" Airi said

"Oh really let me remind you, the first day we met" Ino said

Flash back

"Hi I'm Yamanaka, Ino" Ino said to the girl next to her

"Hi I'm Airi" she said back

"Nice to meet you" Ino said

………."Hold on hold on we're not doing this stupid flash back I hate those things there so stupid." "I know what happened and you know what happened so why tell it all over again, it's not like you're telling an audience or something" Airi interrupted

"Hey I was watching a flashback here" Ino said clearly mad by this oh so, not, pleasant interruption

"Fine let's do it your way and flash back like two years, because that's not stupid and a waste of time at all" Airi said sarcastically

"Shut up and let me get back to my wasteful flash back" Ino countered

……… "Nice to meet you to" Airi said back nicely "so what do you think of these guy student teachers?" Airi asked with a devilish smirk

"Don't tell anyone but, I already got one of the guy's numbers and we're going on a date tonight" Ino said thinking she could trust this girl

"Oh really" the girl said with a slight smirk

Within a few days

"Hey so you want to go on a date tonight" a random guy said to Ino one day

"What why would you ask that?" she asked confused

"Well that girl over there told me that you were into guys like me and was easy so I thought you would want to" he said pointing over to Airi

"Really" Ino said mad. The rest of the week people came up to Ino and asked her the same question and she just kept getting madder

End of Flash back

"Really that one was you, huh" Airi said

"Yes" "So no I'm not telling you who sent me the flowers" Ino said smiling, winning the battle

"Fine" Airi said leaving the room, but not without saying, "I will find out don't you worry"

Ino just shook her head as she looked back at the flowers on her desk. She then went to sit down in her comfy big chair.

12:00 (Lunch)

Shikamaru walked the halls of the academy and walked to what he thought be Ino's room, so he walked in.

"Hello can I help" you a voice much not Ino's said

"A yea I'm looking for Yamanaka, Ino" Shikamaru said to the owner of the voice.

"Oh her room is down the hall to the right" the male said "By the way I'm Taro" he said

"A nice to meet you I'm Nara Shikamaru" he said back politely "well I better get going, it was nice to meet you Taro" Shikamaru said as he walked out of the room. He walked down the hall and turned right and came to, what he hoped to be, Ino's door. Shikamaru knocked twice before the door opened.

"Oh hello, may I help you?" the girl who answered the door asked

"Is this Yamanaka, Ino's room?" he asked hands in his pockets

"Yes it is and who might you be?" she asked very interested in this young man slouching before her.

"Nara, Shikamaru" he answered with some authority, he was starting to get annoyed. Ino over heard his name and came to the door.

"Hey Shikamaru" she said happily

"Hey, you ready to go?" he asked wanting to get out of this stupid place he didn't even like it when he had to go

"Yea hold on one minute would you" she said as she went to go get her coat.

"So you must be the one who sent the flowers, huh, you're not really Ino's type, I pictured someone different" the girl said

"That's great" Shikamaru said sarcastically

"Airi stop annoying Shikamaru" Ino said as she arrived back at the door "sorry Shikamaru Airi likes to think she knows everything about everything" she said turning her attention to the man standing in front of her.

"Oh wow, you must really like this one Ino, because you usually never stand up for your men" Airi said making trouble

"Whatever, let's go Shikamaru" Ino said walking past Airi and out the door with Shikamaru close behind "don't pay any attention to her she just likes to cause trouble" Ino said as they exited the academy doors

"Its fine, you know I really love having people tell me who I should and shouldn't date" he said sarcastically

"I know what you mean" she agreed "so any ways where are you taking me?" Ino asked as they walked along the dirty roads

He shrugged and said, "I guess we can just go where we usually do, what you think." He said lazily

"That's fine" Ino said happily walking beside the man she has known all her life

As they walked along an awkward silence hung over them. Shikamaru looked at the sky trying to think of something to say 'man I've known her all my life this should be easy, besides I haven't seen her for two years, god why can't I think of something anything' he thought frustrated with himself. 'I should tell him of my latest mission; no he would get board of that, maybe I can talk to him about work; again to boring, ugh why can't I think of anything to say' she thought as her attention was brought to her feet. "Where here" Shikamaru said breaking the silence for a moment

"Oh I guess we are" Ino said unable to say anything else. The two walked into the barbeque restaurant, not that you could really call it that. They took their seats on opposite sides of each other and sat there awkwardly for a while the Ino said, "SO Shikamaru how's work, any new missions?"

"Not really everything has been really quiet on my part" he said "Yours?" he asked politely with slight interest.

"Well like I said yesterday I went on a mission a couple days ago it was fun I guess, but the kids were really aggravating wouldn't listen to anything I said" Ino said happy they had found a subject to talk about.

"What really, I would think the other way around, because I got to admit it's really hard not to listen to you, you're so loud" Shikamaru said making Ino blush slightly.

"Shut up" was all she could say.

"Just saying" he said coming to his own defense

"May I get you two, something to eat?" the waitress asked

Ino was about to say something when she was cut off by a male voice she found to be soothing in her times of need.

"Sure, a salad for her and my usual for me" Shikamaru said smirking, due to the funny face Ino had.

"Ok" she said as she walked off to place their orders

"Why are you smirking?" Ino asked with a more harsh tone then she wanted

"Because of that face you're making" he said his usual boring and lazy face appearing on his features again

"It's only because you ordered for me" Ino said "Not that I really mind" she said absentmindedly, more thinking it then wanting to say it aloud

His smirk returned as did her blush coming in deeper than before. "Well I guess I'll do it more often than" he said teasingly

"Oh I…um…Ugh" Ino said averting her gaze to the window and watching the activities outside. Shikamaru just kept smirking the whole time

"Here's your food" a waiter said as he delivered their food to the table

"Thank you" Ino and Shikamaru said in unison.

As the lunch continued the two loosened up and started to talk more and there was no more tension filled awkward moments, but there was embarrassing ones that both of them shared. When it was over both of them didn't want to leave, they were enjoying each other's company, catching up on the what had happened in the last two years, and talking about the good old days. "Well I really should be getting back" blonde girl said reluctantly

"I guess you should" the genius agreed as he stood up and opened the door for Ino being a gentlemen.

"Thanks" Ino said smiling

Back at the Academy

"Well this was nice Shikamaru, we should do this again sometime" the blue eyed girl said looking into shikamaru's dark brown orbs.

"Yea" he said quietly. What happened next was a shock to both of them. Shikamaru had leaned in and captured Ino's lips in a soft, kind kiss. It didn't take Ino long to come out of shock and kiss back.

Little did they know that from one of the academy windows four pairs of eyes were watching this epic scene.
