Recap
--
Ino plans on breaking up Shikamaru and Temari, but ironically, she can't do it because she can't bear Shikamaru being sad.
So back to the story
--
Months flew by, soon Shikamaru stopped calling Ino to be their third wheel, and she was relieved. Since without the constant demand of being asked to be a third wheel, Ino asked her best friends Sakura, TenTen and Hinata to go to the mall.
--
At The Mall
--
'I can't believe you're still in the mood to go shopping, I mean, the guy you love is there with another woman!' TenTen yelled. Ino decided to ignore the remark, even though she knew her other friends secretly agreed, she didn't allow herself to hurt her best friend and love. TenTen saw Ino's expressionless face and decided to stop talking about the whole "ShikaTema" phenomenon.
The girls shopped for three hours and finally sat down at the cafeteria to take a break. The four of them got their food and found a place to sit.
'TenTen, just because you think you are overweight, you don't need to starve yourself' Hinata said.
'Leave me alone, I won't die…I hope,' TenTen said. The four carried talking about TenTen's little weight problem, when Sakura noticed a very dramatic motion from the mall entrance. She got the girls attention and saw the bickering couple, it was Temari and Shikamaru. The conversation couldn't be heard, but it ended with Shikamaru standing at the mall entrance, and Temari running out.
'I wonder what happened,' Hinata said.
'Relax, they'll probably be okay the next time we see them,' Ino said as she ate her salad. The other three stared at Ino blankly, 'Come on, let's carry shopping!' Ino yelled as she finished her meal and dragged the other three out of the cafeteria.

Somewhere outside an elevator in the mall
--
The four girls just conquered the second floor of the mall and were advancing to the third level. They were waiting for the elevator, and when it opened, Hanabi and a boy were inside, Hinata hid behind the other three. Just at that moment Konohamaru and a slightly sluttish girl came into view.
'I heard Hanabi and Konohamaru were going out, but then I heard over the phone they broke up three weeks ago,' Hinata whispered, and the other three just nodded. Hinata tried to go in the lift, but the three yanked her back.
'This is the show of the year, stay and watch!' Ino whispered, so they stood there watching them having a little battle over words.
'Wow, Konohamaru, your taste is getting cheaper. Is it because you're bored of high quality and you started to take interest in scum,' Hanabi said cockily.
'Shut up, bitch,' said the sluttish girl.
'Taking a closer look, you're not scum, you're shit,' Hanabi replied. The four girls watching quietly burst into a fit of laughter and ran into the elevator.
'I have to go now, good-bye piece-o-shit!' Hanabi said as she took the clueless guy's hand and walked away. Konohamaru was dumbfounded, and eventually the sluttish girl took off with another guy.

In the elevator
--
'Oh my gosh, Hinata, your sister kicked ass just now!' TenTen said. Hinata had a gigantic blood rush to her cheeks, and the other three carried on laughing and carried on shopping until the mall closed.

Ino's house
--
The girls parted ways at the mall, and Ino went back home. She got to her home and saw on her home phone there were ten messages on her phone. She picked up the receiver and found out that Chouji was looking for Shikamaru, but he locked himself in his apartment, and Chouji lost Shikamaru's keys. They all had each other's keys just in case. Hearing the news, Ino put on a decent jacket and ran to Shikamaru's apartment.

Shikamaru's apartment
--
Ino arrived and saw Chouji had left a message on the floor, it said:
Gone to pick relatives at the airport, won't be back.
Good Luck Ino, you need it
Chouji
Ino quickly fished her keys and made her way into Shikamaru's apartment, she saw that all the lights were off, and Shikamaru was on the couch with a lot of wine bottles on the floor and table.
'Dear God, Shikamaru! What are you doing?' Ino asked. Shikamaru didn't reply, so Ino turned the lights and saw that Shikamaru's eyes were red, and remembered what happened today at the mall.
'Shikamaru, are you okay?' Ino asked. Shikamaru gave no response, so Ino gave him a good shake and Shikamaru just pushed Ino on to the floor.
'Leave me alone! Don't you dare stop me,' Shikamaru yelled, and lit two cigarettes and took a big gulp of wine. Ino tried desperately to make Shikamaru come to his senses, but nothing prevailed.
'Can you at least tell me what happened,' Ino asked.
'Today –hic- Temari broke –hic- up with me –hic-, and she –hic- said that –hic- she has an –hic- other guy so –hic- she's going to –hic- to go –hic- with –hic- him –hic-' Shikamaru said. Ino saw that Shikamaru actually took his relationship with Temari seriously, and couldn't believe that Temari ended with him so fast. Ino felt what Shikamaru was feeling from the start of him dating Temari. Ino grabbed a wine bottle and held it in front of Shikamaru and said 'You want to drink, I'll drink with you.' With that the two finished all the wine in the house.
--
The next morning
--
Shikamaru woke up and found himself in bed, and was having a serious hangover. He looked around for signs of Ino, and couldn't find any, at that moment, Ino ran in, and didn't even look at Shikamaru, but she did pick up her shirt and run into the bathroom. She came back out and grabbed her bag and left.
Shikamaru sat up trying to remember what happened last night, and it all came back, and realized Ino's strange behavior. He quickly got dressed and ran after Ino.
When he got downstairs he saw Ino talking to Chouji.
Please don't be talking about last night Shikamaru thought.
'Oh good God, you're all right, but why did Ino stay the night?' Chouji questioned.
'Well, Shikamaru kept of barfing all over the floor so I just placed him on the bed and made sure he was asleep and cleaned up the place,' Ino explained. Shikamaru realized what Ino was hinting and just nodded along.
'But where did you sleep?' Chouji said, but Ino gave him a big whack.
'WHAT DO YOU THINK I DID? I SLEPT ON THE COUCH YOU PERVERTED
MAN!' Ino yelled. Chouji nodded and didn't ask more.
Ino stormed off to her apartment, and was thankful her hair covered the big red mark on her neck.

Ino's Apartment
--
She was going to her door and saw Hinata, Sakura and TenTen in front of her door.
'What are you three doing here?' Ino questioned.
'Thank goodness you're alright!' Sakura said as she gave Ino a big hug, and after that Hinata didn't say a word, but Ino wasn't sure what Hinata was staring at, and soon the other two girls realized what Hinata was looking at.
'Tell us Ino, how was your night?' Sakura asked in the hallway. Ino flushed red and opened her door and dragged the other three in.
--
After explaining
--
'OH!' the three said in unison. They studied Ino's neck, and nodded and gave sighs and eventually TenTen said something 'Judging from that, he clearly wasn't thinking. No one normal would do something that deep.' Ino sweat dropped and Hinata and Sakura collapsed.
'The main point is what does this mean?' Hinata asked.
'I don't know, I'm not sure, but I think he was just really drunk, it's just a one-off thing,' Ino said. The other three girls nodded in approval of Ino's theory.
--
Shikamaru's Apartment
--
Shikamaru tidied up his living room of wine bottles and tissue and all kinds of rubbish. When he finished cleaning the place, there was a knock on the door. It was Temari.
'Hey, Temari,' Shikamaru said, 'you want to come in?' Temari gave a small nodded and grabbed a box.
'Here's all the stuff you left at my apartment, all in that box,' Temari said coldly.
'So I guess you want your stuff back as well,' Shikamaru said. Temari gave a small nod in reply, 'I'll drop by tomorrow.' Temari nodded again and left Shikamaru's apartment.
Shikamaru searched the box, and found a little necklace, the photos inside where ones Shikamaru and Temari took on their two month anniversary. He didn't have time to be sentimental and simply tossed the photo in the trash bin. He picked up his box and moved towards his closet.
'How troublesome,' Shikamaru said as he shoved the box into the back of the closet, and fell onto his bed and sleeped.
