Fixing the pieces

A bit of a surprise

They avoided each other for the rest of week. Mostly because they both had clan business, training and other things, but mostly because of what happened that night.

It was the day of Ino's ceremony. She had gotten ready at the flower shop while everyone was waiting at the Yamanaka Mansion.

The elders said that she was allowed to bring someone who wasn't in the clan. She had decided to bring Shizune.

She had chosen her because she had a day off and also because Ino thinks of her sensei as her second mother.

Shizune accepted because she cared for Ino like a daughter. She sometimes called her daughter when she was talking to other people about her.

"Sensei, I'm grateful that you could come."

"Don't mention it. This is a very special day for you and I'm not going to miss it at all."

It was true. She would finally take over the clan. Everyone wished her good luck and even Shikamaru and Chouji who were both on missions had sent her a message to wish her good luck.

Her smile faded when she remembered the one person who didn't wish her luck was. It was Naruto. Shizune noticed this. Ino had told Shizune everything that had happened between her and Naruto.

She hugged Ino gently. "Don't worry Ino. He too is wrapped up in his clan business to say good luck."

"Thank you sensei. You always know what to say."

She wowed the clan with her skill, jutsu's and leadership. She had also made her very own s- rank jutsu.

She was then granted the head of the clan.

She was very happy about it. "Don't worry; I won't let any of you down." They all applauded for her and all the young Yamanaka's all ran to hug her. She laughed because loves all little children.

"Now you must meet your future husband." This came from the female Yamanaka elder.

Ino sighed. This always happens for every head. Announced or not, you're to be married.

"He shall be here any minute." Ino looked at Shizune in desperation. She gave Ino two thumbs. Ino managed to calm down.

Just then door opened. They were the elders from the other clan. The male elder spoke up.

"Good day Yamanaka's, Miss Ino Yamanaka. We would like to present to you your new husband." Ino held her breath.

Just then a boy her age with blond hair appeared. The male Yamanaka elder spoke up.

"Ino Yamanaka, meet Naruto Namikaze, you're soon to be husband.

Hope you liked this chapter! I thought maybe Shizune needed more love. About one more chapter to go.
