AN/ hey everyone… wow I am just pulling chapter after chapter out of my ass. Anyshawys, I was gonna do an amv right now but NOOO my friend said I should do chapter 4… even though I just wrote and posted 3 today… I'm doing like one a day, it's insane!! Alright so this is the fluff chapter. Now I am one who really likes writing dark angsty things ((it's so weird though I am like this uber happy bubbly 15 (almost 16 :P) year old, then wham! Dark poems)) so if the fluff is bad don't blame me. Alright, this is the first chapter NOT written in class… I usually write them in science class ((man I hate it! I am good at science and all but I am doing grade 10 science and grade 11 chem in the same year and it is killing me…exam is in like 2 weeks… AHHH)) oops sorry I ranted, ok here is the fic!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or its characters. But I do own pie… I like pie… I want pie…

The days passed quickly, and soon it came to the one month anniversary of Ino and Shikamaru's relationship. Some were surprised to hear about the two of them being together, while most just said that it took to long to happen, and they were sick of waiting. Ino still laughed when she remembered when her friends found out. Team Gai was a humorous one, Neji had smiled politely, and Tenten gave them a congratulations. But Lee, Lee cheered, cried and ranted about youth, and the endless love of time and something about waterfalls and sunsets. Team 8 was just as bad, if not worse. Hinata didn't say much, mainly mumbled a congratulations. Shino…. Did nothing… and Kiba, Kiba grinned in a way that made Ino want to go back in time and not tell him. The dog boy wrapped an arm around Shikamaru's shoulder and said;
"Hey! Bout time man! I'm surprised you took this long! I mean wow… look at that body! I bet she's a fox in the bedroom."
It didn't take long for him to meet an unfortunate accident including his head and Ino's fist. And when she left, being pursued by a blushing Shikamaru, she could hear Kurenai yelling his ear off about respect. For a nineteen year old, he acted like a child.
Team 7. Sakura squealed and ranted for nine years about how happy she was, Naruto looked clueless and probably didn't understand right away. Sai, well Sai shook his head and glared at the building beside them, he still hadn't gotten over loosing Ino. Kakashi mumbled something into Shikamaru's ear. Only to get a reply of;
"First that was chapter 12, and two no I am not a sick pervert like some people."
"You read Icha Icha."
"No."
"But you knew what chapter-"
"Lucky guess."
"...closet pervert."
After two months the two decided to move in together. But of course, with Ino that meant REDECORATING!!
Shikamaru's POV
What is it with women and redecoration? I don't understand the concept at all! Ok, so you move into a new space that is already painted, furnished and liveable. If you're a man it's simple, you add maybe an extra poster, a game system... maybe a book or two and your done. It's not important as long as it serves its purpose right? Right. But when a woman moves into a new place it's a whole new story! It's shopping for matching furniture ((because apparently the couch with the hole in it and the bean bag chair don't count as living room must haves)). The walls must be repainted, the windows need drapes, the room needs colour, and display magazines, and flowers, and throw pillows!! Oh the throw pillows! The bed has 12 pillows on it… we use only two! Its 10 minutes of my life taking pillows off the bed, and putting them on! I don't get it! Then there are the candles in the bath room, never to be lit! Oh no, you can't light them you just have to look at them. There's the soft rugs around the toilet, and matching bowls and plates in the kitchen, cause plastic doesn't cut it anymore. The mantel needs pictures of us and our friends. Oh and I cannot forget the lovely assortment of enough soaps, shampoos and face products that add up to enough for us to open our own drug store. I do not understand this troublesome process of decorating, my plan was to sleep on the couch and let her have her fun… but nope. Now I am standing in the living room with a paintbrush in a bucket of paint staring at my beautiful brown and stained walls all set to paint it purple, oops no sorry I am not allowed to call it that, its called mauve. Its all colors to me, call it dingbat for all I care just don't make me be the one to fill the walls with it.
"Shika, muffin, are you painting the walls or trying to move them with your mind?"
I sighed, and stared at the brush in my hand, then back to the wall, then finally at Ino.
"Do I have to paint the walls? They were fine the way they were."
"Yes you have to paint them! They were disgusting! I want to live in a place that is clean, and cozy… not a rat hole! I have standards!"
Putting the paintbrush down I walked over to where she was. She was in the kitchen. When I walked in I was amazed. My kitchen was always a place that I avoided at all costs. But now, even though the table and chairs ((which she picked out)) were covered in the plastic. The room was bright and cheerful and full of colour.
"This is…amazing," I said as I looked around. Suddenly I felt something against my cheek I raised my hand to my cheek and saw that there was yellow on my face. I turned and saw Ino grinning with her finger covered in yellow paint. I gave her a small sheepish grin.
"Troublesome woman."
I then proceeded to pick her up, throw her over my shoulder and carry her out of the room. She squealed and squirmed. I threw her down on the couch, with one hand a held her down and with the other hand dipped all five of my fingers into the paint. Leaning over her I dangled them about her face.
"No Shika, don't," she managed to get out through giggles.
"This will teach you to be troublesome," I told her and brought my index finger down her nose.
She screamed and kicked her legs, but she was laughing.
"Ow Shika my stomach hurts from laughing, let me up…have mercy!"
I grinned and let her up, only for her to tackle me. We both rolled off the couch, and she had me pinned. She grabbed the paint bucket and stuck her whole hand in it. She smeared the paint all over my face and then ran. I got up to chase her. She was outside, running through the hall of the apartment building. I chased her down the stairs and outside. I managed to grab her wrist, both of us laughing covered in paint I leaned in and captured her lips. She wrapped her sticky hands behind my neck and locked her multi coloured fingers together. I deepened the kiss, and my tongue licked her lips as if asking permission. She opened her mouth and my tongue delved deeper into her mouth. It was then when we were interrupted by someone clearing their throat. We broke apart and turned to see Sakura and Naruto standing on the sidewalk. I sighed, but Ino giggled.
"Look guys, we'd love to stay and chat, but a certain blonde thought it would be funny to paint me instead of the walls, so I have to go teach her a lesson."
With that I scooped her up bridal style and headed back towards the building
"Sakura save me! My hair is getting painty" she squealed and tried to squirm away. But I held her tight and before she could hear her friends answer we were back in the hall. I kicked my door back open and set her down. I gave her one quick peck on the cheek then went back to the living room. I sprawled out on the couch and closed my eyes. Now I was tired, damn girl made me run.
"Oh Shika," I knew that tone. I opened one eye slowly and saw Ino walking slowly towards me with a playful look in her eye. Maybe I wasn't that tired. She swung her leg over me and straddled my hips, and whispered in my ear
"When you're done here, I have something for you to do. It involves the bedroom."
"Uh huh," it was all I was able to bring my self to say.
Suddenly she sat up and jumped off me.
"Paint the bedroom, thanks hun," she called then ran back to the kitchen.
I lay there stunned by what had just happened. It didn't take a genius to realize I had just been had.
"Get back here troublesome woman!" I cried.
