Chapter 7: shikaxsaku

Love was like a game of shogi to him; you had to plan everything out before you did it.

"ACHOO!"

He sighed and handed her a handkerchief.

"I'm sorry, Shika; I'm allergic to daffodils…"

To her, love was like a scent. It went where the wind blew it and depending on the person and the smell it would cause a good effect or a bad one.

She snuggled into him, planting kisses up and down his neck.

"Happy birthday, Shika."

He smiled, enjoying his present.

Everything she did seemed right. And everything he did seemed wrong. And even though at the I.Q. of 200, Shikamaru Nara's forte was not really love.

"Shika! You know I can't eat chocolates a day before my mission!"

He sighed and snatched the chocolates back. "How troublesome…"

But that was because his girlfriend was more experienced with passion. People knew this was right coming from a man who compared the powerful emotion with a board game. A lot of things with love were just like, as Sakura bluntly put it, a scent.

"Sakura?"

"Hm?" asked Sakura as her eyes remained on the board.

"Will you marry me?"

Sakura looked up wide eyed loosing all sense of concentration as she moved her piece to some random spot.

Shikamaru smirked and moved his piece. 'Check mate!'

But sometimes, like winning a game of shogi against your new fiance, love at times needed to be planned out.
