Shikamaru was unusually nervous. Why had he allowed himself to be talked into this? Oh yeah, Ino was a stubborn brat when she wanted something to happen. He sighed to himself and got ready to go. Black slacks and a matching T-Shirt, with his usual fishnet underneath. He left his apartment, and headed toward the restaurant Team Ten had frequented, and still did on occasion.
Naruto was there already, and it took all of Shikamaru's willpower to keep from drooling. He had chosen navy blue slacks and a dark-but-not-quite-navy long-sleeved shirt, and placed his new Chunin vest over the outfit.
Naruto grinned at the Nara's expression. "Stunned to absolute silence by my sexiness, ne, Shikamaru?" the blonde teased.
To which Shikamaru responded by raising an eyebrow and poking his friend's forehead. "Yeah, that's likely. Not."
Naruto pouted. "Aw, Shika, I'm hurt. You're so mean."
"You're gonna be hurting for real in a minute if you don't hush." The brunette growled.
"What's Naruto doing?" Questioned Sakura, who had just arrived with Lee.
Shikamaru snickered, as Naruto flat out stared at the pair. Sakura was wearing a red dress that went down to her mid calf, slightly tighter in just the right places to accentuate the curves she had gained over the years, patterned with white and pink cherry blossoms, and accompanied by red shoes with half-inch heels. Lee, well, Sakura had managed to get Lee out of his fashion-disaster green spandex and into dark green pants and a similarly colored shirt, with loose sleeves that extended to his elbows. His red-banded hitai-ite still hung around his waist, but no one really expected different on that count.
"Nothing, don't worry about it." Shikamaru told her simply.
Naruto was still staring. "I'm almost jealous of you, Sakura-chan. Lee doesn't look half bad out of that spandex."
Shikamaru covered Naruto's eyes and turned him away. "No trying to steal other people's dates, Naruto."
Sakura rolled her eyes. "Jeez, Naruto. You have your own date. Leave mine alone."
This comment caused Shikamaru to blush, and Naruto, seeing a chance to tease the brunette, wrapped an arm around the older boy's waist and pulled him a bit closer. "What's the matter, Shika-chan? Jealous? You know I only have eyes for you."
At that point, Shikamaru's face could rival Hinata's and win. "I don't know what you're talking about, Naruto." He said quickly, pushing Naruto's arm off.
The blonde recognized that as Shikamaru's way of letting him know he was uncomfortable, and didn't try again. However, the blush remained, no matter what the Nara boy did to fight it.
At that point, the foursome's attention was drawn by the approach of couple number three, Ino and Chouji. Ino was sporting a tight-fitting, strapless purple dress, which left little to the imagination, and was accompanied by purple, one-inch heels. Even with the heels, though, Ino was still significantly shorter than her date, who was the only one whose attire hadn't significantly changed. Upon their arrival, the six proceeded into the restaurant, unaware of a pair of greedy red eyes watching a certain brunette's every move.

Several times during the outing, Shikamaru got a creepy 'watched' feeling, but he said nothing. After about ah hour of it, he got fed up, and excused himself from the table momentarily.
He entered the restroom, not really needing to go, but just to see if the person he suspected was watching them would show himself. Sure enough, when he turned around, Sasuke stood mere inches from him. Shikamaru's eyes widened exponentially, and he tried backing away, and landed himself in a corner. He opened his mouth to call for Naruto, knowing the blonde would hear him, but Sasuke silenced him by kissing him. Shikamaru bit Sasuke's lip as hard as he could, and slipped around the other boy while he was distracted.
"What do you want?" Shikamaru demanded.
"You're in no position to demand anything of me." Sasuke replied simply. "But I'll tell you anyway, even though it should be obvious. I want you. All of you."
"You wish." The brunette spat back.
"I will have you, Nara, whether you like it or not. Go ahead and tell Tsunade. The council won't let her do anything to me." The Uchiha sneered.
"Tch. Teme." Shikamaru turned to go back to the others, in order to escape Sasuke, but found himself pinned to the wall by the demented Uchiha.
"No, get away!" Shikamaru panicked, just like the last time. But this time, he used Sasuke's delay in keeping him quiet to call for Naruto. When Sasuke hesitated at that, Shikamaru shoved him away, and scrambled to get to the other side of the door, shutting it in Sasuke's face.
Within seconds of that happening, despite the distance between their table and Shikamaru's location, Naruto was standing by Shikamaru, arms around him, and asking, quite worriedly, what was wrong.
"Sasuke. He showed up again. I doubt he's still in there, but I didn't want to take any chances." Shikamaru said, moving closer to the blonde, as though his embrace was an impenetrable fortress. And to him, it might as well have been.

If the other four were curious as to what had happened when they were both gone, and why Shikamaru was letting Naruto hold onto his hand possessively the rest of the night, they didn't ask. And for that, Shikamaru was grateful, because Naruto was too busy making sure his now-foul mood didn't bother anyone else to answer any questions, and Shikamaru sure wasn't planning on it. Not yet, anyway.
The three pairs parted ways that night, all of them agreeing to Ino's suggestion they do that again sometime, and Naruto took it upon himself to walk his 'date' home.
When they passed his apartment without stopping, Shikamaru opened his mouth to ask why, but Naruto shot him a 'no questions yet' look, and the brunette closed his mouth and waited until they arrived at Naruto's door.
"Naruto, my apartment is back that way. Why did you bring me back to yours?" Shikamaru asked.
"I'm not leaving you alone until I'm sure Sasuke won't or can't come after you. Since the former isn't likely, you're staying with me until Baa-chan does something about him. And tomorrow, we're going to find out why that hasn't happened yet." Naruto replied.
The second night, Shikamaru once again found himself falling asleep in Naruto's arms.

A/N: Alrighty people, poll time! I have some ideas for Sasuke's fate, but I want your input!
Question: What fate does Sasuke-teme deserve for raping and further harassing Shika-chan?
Options:
Death
Sent to Ibiki
Other (Do elaborate, please)
Get the shit kicked out of him by Naruto (and/or whoever else you think should/would), then A, B, or C (or not, if you think that's enough of a punishment)
Some other combination of these.
