"Aaaand a 1-2-3 , my heart skips a beat, for the Konoha Lions ' GOOOOOO LIONS ! " the KHS Cheersquad screamed. They were just the right mixture of Prep and Pep to keep the game going.
The Tannoy hollered "Right now it's a close game , 3-2 to the suna savages, Can our team still do it ? ". Ino bit her lip nervously as she watched the field, only 10 minutes till the end and a time-out had just been called. She knew that Sasuke's future rides on this because the Harvard and NYU critics were coming to observe him. Although he has Upenn, for someone like him one college was never enough and even though she thought this was arrogant of course Ino would support him.
As she and the rest of the Cheerleaders watched the team wearily trudge back to the locker room for a Pep talk , she smiled at her boyfriend well until she saw Sakura blow him a kiss. weird,oh well. When the flaxen haired girl saw Shikamaru she leaned over the Bannister and tapped him "Go Shika-kun , you can do it , you are the number one strategist ever " she whispered and beamed at him.
Shikamaru's downtrodden demeanor changed as he looked felt invigorated and even though he saw the dark glare the star Quarterback gave him and the questioning looks from his teammates he couldn't help but think " She is such an angel , even though i would never take someone else's girlfriend, I cant help but feel some type of way." Being as rational as he was, he wouldn't put down his emotions as love, instead he shook them off and went off to try and save his team.
Sakura looked at her curiously but Ino ignored it , she was too busy glowing from the smile that Shikamaru gave her.
Okay listen up, we only have one more shot at this.
"I've noticed that takahada has a weak spot on his left and we should utilize this. Gaara you're the fastest and you have a vendetta against him so you faint to the left and distract him. Then you actually pass the ball behind you to uzumaki and he can run it all the way through to the yard line. I need Uchiha and Akimichi to help ward off the others from intercepting. especially "big mike Mizuki". " Suddenly the strategists speech was cut off by an angry avenger "Hey Nara, I'm the one who needs to score not Naruto , the talent scouts are here for me not them . "
The temperature dropped to subzero as the Nara looked at Sasuke, he smirked darkly "So what you're saying is that no one else is as important as you huh uchiha ? " Sasuke sputtered and was about to retort, when Shika continued "Sorry but you are a part of the team and since your specialty is brute force , that is the role you have to play. No questions." The whole team shuddered, Shikamaru was the most easy and Laid-back person on the squad and today they knew to just do as they were told, to be honest Naruto was a bit hurt and upset and the rest of the team hated sasuke's arrogance and were was he was knocked down a peg.
To say Shikamaru was annoyed was an understatement. Inwardly he laughed because he actually knew Sasuke could be the one scoring but he wanted to fuck with the Uchiha. I definitely didn't miss the kiss sakura blew him. Not only that but Naruto worked hard all year and he needed a time to shine.
Everything was settled and the team went off with an intent to win.
"This is amazing , Sabaku just threw Takahada off and is now running the ball , is he going to score ? Oh wait there's Uchiha waiting to get the ball - Oh no Sabaku clearly ignored him and passed it to Uzumaki. Oh my and th- GOAAAL !I can't believe it, Uzumaki just handed the touchdown of the century meanwhile Sasuke got handed the asswhooping of the century becaus big mike just crashed into him . Just another Victory for Konoha high folks " The announcer ecstatically recounted .
The whole field burst out into cheers as Kiba cheekily played "IDFWU". A mass uproar ensued and scouts began to crowd Naruto with questions and offers, he quickly grabbed Shikamaru "I really couldn't have done it without this guy here, Shikamaru Nara. I'd definitly give him a place" the whiskered kid proclaimed as Shikamaru flushed and ruffled his head before heading off.
Sasuke Uchiha was having a bad day , wincing from the impact of big mike he was limping away when an angry Shikamaru came up to him . The nara's brown eyes narrowed as he hissed out "You are such a selfish prick Uchiha,you almost cost us the game and if I ever see you pull a stunt like that again, I will get Asuma to kick you off the team". He then stomped away, leaving Sasuke fuming.
"Heeeeeey Ino you are totally coming to the after party right ? " asked her friend Miaka. The blonde was considering it when she looked back and saw Shikamaru heading back to his car "hmm I might consider giving it a miss this time ". She strode over to see Sasuke and when she greeted him, she was shocked by his mad attitude. " I'm not in the mood to deal with a little princess right now ok, Leave me alone. " he shouted. Indignant and humiliated she replied "What the hell Sasuke, just because you're not the star, don't take it out on me,".
His eyes flashed dangerously as he shoved her angrily "You are more trouble than your worth, I saw your stupid love sick gaze towards shikamaru. I knew you were a whore before, always flirting but DAMN you outdid it this time. Even a lowlife like him wouldn't want you - a vain,spoilt princess who has no future, you are never going to be a doctor unlike sakura and you should just go back to spending daddy's money". Ino started to tremble as she saw Sasuke morph into a monster she had never known " Fuck you. If you like Sakura so much go to her. I am way more than that you spoilt brat and I'm disgusted I ever gave you a chance, a guy like Shikamaru is worth a thousand of you. I guess you'll have to find another "whore" because we are over." she stormed away. tears flowing down her cheeks as soon as she turned away from him .
As she drove home in her car, his words kept replaying in her head. When Shikamaru called me a princess , it never hurt me the way Sasuke did. It hurts so much that the guy I was with for two years has such a low opinion of me when he was my first kiss and I'm still a virgin. I guess this is the whole school's opinion of me, maybe even Shikamaru's" With that thought a fresh wave of tears hit her.
She pulled in to the driveway and saw the lights in her house was off , for once she was glad her father wasn't home as she ran upstairs to her room and fell asleep crying.
At 10PM an exhausted police officer Nara walked into the house , he peeked into his little princess's room and saw her puffy eyed and sleeping. He frowned, worried about her and resolved to try to be more open with his feelings. He love her so much and wished he could protect her, after all that is part of the reason he became a police officer. Somewhere along the way, the lines of communication got severed and Inoichi regrets it. As he walked away from the spitting image of himself, he wished someone would help guard his girl in the same way he wanted to.
He didn't know that guard would come in the shape of Shikamaru Nara.
