Watch Over Me

Ino Yamanaka, the supposed leader of Team 10. A rival with Sakura for Sasuke's heart...and Shikamaru Nara's crush. He hated when she would use her Shintenshin-No- Jutsu: Art of the Valentine technique. It left her body without protection, because he couldn't always be there to keep it safe. Yet everytime Ino told him to watch over her body, he always agreed.

One time though, she had a different look when she asked him to protect her. Shikamaru smiled and took her into his arms, silently vowing to protect her heart as well.
