Flash Back
"Ino..."
"Shika, I need them back."
"I will give it to you if you kiss me."
"Wha... that's unfair!"
"Then don't leave your things around. Now, kiss me or you won't have them back."
"Ugh... fine! You wicked lazy bum! I hate you!"
She kissed Shikamaru, then took her things. The next days, they started to be closer and closer until Noel came up.
End of Flash Back
"Ino, be my girlfriend," said Shikamaru when the two others already asleep.
"Shikamaru, I don't know. I can't choose. I love you, yeah, but I love Noel too. You both are, great," replied Ino.
"But Ino, Noel wasn't the right guy for you. Besides, you knew me much longer than you knew Noel."
"Yeah, but..."
"Has he ever shared his problems to you back there?"
"No..."
"Have you shared your problems with him?"
"Yeah, I did... a lot."
"Did he gave you advice?"
"Yeah, and promises."
"That means he is a quiet person, he doesn't want you to know his problems."
"Or maybe it's me. Maybe I'm the one who won't listen to his problems?"
"No, you're not like that."
"Well, maybe I am before. I don't remember. Actually, I never knew his real self."
"That's the point! You can't love people who you don't really know well, right? Then choose me, since I'm available."
"I don't know Shika, I'm not sure."
"The Light creature came to Konoha, and the Dark started to go there too. We have to go there and fight," said Noel.
"How do you know about this?" asked Shikamaru.
"Ugh, it's a news in the Dark's newspaper."
"And if it was a trap for us?"
"It isn't. Look," said Neji, pointed some light far far away.
"We have to go now, but we won't reach there in time," said Ino.
"Man, you guys will reach Konoha in no time," said Noel, then started to grow his wings.
They flied to Konoha in 10 minutes. They started to help the others prepared things for the battle.
Noel sneaked into a room and wrote a message. Then he gave it to Shikamaru and told him to give it to Ino while he's already dead.
"What, when you're dead? You said you're immortal before!"
"Well, I don't know. I just feel that my time is almost up. I don't think I will keep living after this battle."
"How do you know?"
"Just my feelings. And anyway, Ino love you the most, so protect her, and I will go back down. I will never try to steal her from you, because you are precious to her. And she would be happy living with you."
Shikamaru just nodded, then went out. Suddenly, they heard a very loud explosion, and the Dark creatures showed up. The ninjas and the Light creatures walked out the village, ready to fight.
And the battle, begins...
