"Come on, Shikamaru. One night is enough to lock yourself in your room. Come out and talk to me about this," she said. She waited a moment.
"Oh come on, seriously! Shikamaru! As your mother I demand that you open this door! I love you, you ass. Come out!" she said, getting loud, stomping her foot.
She finally tried the handle to find that it was unlocked.
"Oh?" She pushed the door open and walked in. The room was vacant of life, except for her, and there were no remnants of chakra, he hadn't been there for a while.
When the realization that her son was missing finally sank in, she shrieked.
"Not again!" she screamed.
Yoshino ran out to the living room, staring daggers at Shikaku.
"What?" he asked, looking up at her.
"Shikamaru is gone!"
"What?" Shikaku asked, sitting up from his previous lounging position.
"He's. Gone," she said sternly.
"He probably went to Asuma, or something," Shikaku said and leaned back again.
"Go look for him!" Yoshino demanded.
"He'll be back eventually," Shikaku said and leaned back, resting his head in his arms.
"Go. Look. For. Our. Son," Yoshino said between gritted teeth.
"Why don't you do it?" Shikaku asked.
Yoshino formed some hand signs and took a deep breath.
"Kage Kubi--"
"Alright, alright!" Shikaku said, and stood up quickly to avoid being strangled. "I'll go look for him, sheesh. I don't see what good it will do, he won't want to talk to me anyway," Shikaku said, grabbing his deer-skin jacket off a coat rack and putting it on as he headed out through the door, leaving a very pissed off wifey behind.

Caelan groaned, waking to the familiar humidity of rice cooking somewhere in the immediate vicinity. He sighed in anger as he stood, his pants still open from his activities the night prior.
"Ugh..." he groaned as he sat up and rubbed his face with his hands. He stood and buttoned his pants, zipping his fly. He made his way out of the room, to the kitchen, where Kotetsu beamed at him from the table.
"Hey there, sleepy head!" he said, and motioned to a setting across from him and Genma. "Eat, I made plenty!"
Caelan smiled as he noticed the food. Rice, pickles, grilled fish. Caelan sat, bowing slightly to Kotetsu, who giggled, and began to eat. He felt as though his spirit was being renewed by the food.
The feeling didn't last long though as he noticed the seaweed and thought of Shikamaru. He sighed dejectedly.
"Awwe, what's wrong, Cae'?" Genma asked.
"Shikamaru's favorite food is... seaweed..." he said, picking a piece and putting it on his plate, just staring at it with the saddest look on his face.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Cae'... I didn't know..." Kotetsu said, pouting, looking over at the other as Genma put his arms around Kotetsu's shoulders.
"That's alright. Thank you for breakfast," Caelan said, standing and pushing his chair in, walking out of the house.
"Mmm... I'm worried about him..." Kotetsu said, leaning into Genma's embrace.
"Me too..." Genma followed up.

Mark whined loudly when he woke, as he was very cold. He cracked open an eye and saw that Shino wasn't there with him. He groaned and moved his hand to the couch beside him, where he and Shino had fallen asleep, but it too was cold.
Mark groaned and sat up, strongly disappointed that Shino wasn't there.
'Maybe he went to the bathroom...' Mark said, suddenly feeling insecure.
"Oh dear, you're up already. I was hoping you'd still be asleep when I came in," came Shino's voice from nearby. Mark turned his head in Shino's direction, and blushed instantly at what he saw.
Shino was wearing a white frilly apron over standard ninja garb, sans the chunin vest, carrying a tray with food on it. A heaping bowl of rice, some omelet, tea and miso soup.
"Ah, heaven..." Mark whispered as Shino sat next to him.
"It might not be that great... I made it myself..." Shino said, his face tinting pink. "But, I tried, at least..." he said, lifting a spoon full of soup up for Mark. Mark slurped it up happily and then grinned like mad.
"For someone who doesn't cook very often, you make good soup!"
"Ah, well, it's just a powder mix..." Shino said, his face still red.
Shino fed Mark the rest of his food, the later not complaining one bit.
"Oh, Shino... You're so good to me!" he said with a grin.
"Well, you've cooked for me before, the least I could do was return the favor..." he said, putting the tray on the floor and curling up against Mark's side.
"This truly is heaven, Shino. I love you so much..." he said, leaning down and kissing the top of Shino's head.
"I love you, too," Shino said, smiling against Mark's side.
"Shino made breakfast this morning," Shibi said nonchalantly as he and Haru ate.
"Oh really? Looks like you guys don't need a cook anymore now that you have the amazing Mark and Shino! Oh, they're going to be such a happy couple!" Haru said, his own cheeks tinted a bit pink. He started to purr as he looked at Shibi coyly over his spoon. "Maybe you should get a wifey man yourself," he said and grinned.
"Haru..." Shibi warned.
"Yeah, yeah, don't say what I'm thinking, gotcha... Anyway, Mark and Shino have been great influences on each other. They're so in love... It's nice to see love like that these days," Haru said with a dreamy sigh.
"Yes, and I hope they continue to be this happy and have each other for the rest of their lives..."
"Amen!" Haru said and put another spoonful of soup in his mouth.

Caelan headed to the flower shop. He wasn't exactly sure why. Maybe he'd ask Ino for assistance again.
'It probably wont help, though,' he thought as he pushed open the door, a bell ringing to let the workers know someone had entered.
"Caelan!" Ino cheered, waving excitedly. Chouji looked up from watering flowers.
"Put him to work, I see," Caelan said, giving a weak chuckle.
"It's voluntary! Chouji offered to help!" Ino said, her voice higher pitched than usual, as she was a bit offended.
"Yeah, I offered. I like the flowers." He said with a small smile, setting the watering pail down.
"Whatcha need? Come back to buy some more flowers for Shikamaru, Caelan?" Ino asked, grinning.
"Actually..." Caelan said, his hands in his pockets, looking at the floor, kicking a small clod of dirt that had fallen when plants were being moved, absentmindedly. "I came to ask for advice," he admitted.
"Oh? Advice? What kind?" Ino said, standing up and walking over to the other.
"I fucked up..." he whispered. "And Shikamaru is pissed at me..." He trailed off.
"What did you do?" Ino asked.
"I can't say, I really can't. Just know it was bad and Shikamaru pretty much hates me. How do I make it up to him?" Caelan asked, his face scrunched up in sadness.
"Awwe, he'll realize that you're sorry and that you really care about him eventually," Ino said, patting his shoulder.
"I hope so..." Caelan whispered. "It took me a while to realize it, but I really do..." He trailed off as his eyes welled up with tears. "Love... him..." Caelan quickly walked out of the store briskly, with Ino and Chouji running after him, but as soon as they stepped out the door, he was gone.
"Damnit, he's gone..." Ino said, and turned to look at Chouji. "Maybe we should go find him?"
"Yeah," Chouji said with a nod. Ino ran back into the shop.
"Dad! Chouji and I need to go find Caealan and Shikamaru! It's really important. Sorry!" She shouted and ran back out, throwing her apron on the ground in the process.
"Shikamaru first," Chouji said.
"Right."
With that they took off in search of their teammate.

"Oh my fucking god!" Temari steamed, stomping around, down the hall, past her room, Kankuro's, Gaara's old room, and back, four times, at least. She was pulling out her hair.
Kankuro walked to his doorway, sans his cowl. He crossed his arms and leaned against the door frame watching his sister. He cleared his throat and she stopped dead in her tracks.
"What?!" She screamed.
"Well, somethings got your panties in a bunch," Kankuro said, grinning at her. She glared daggers on him. "Who's got your balls in a vice grip? Geez..." Kankuro said, pushing away from the wall.
"That kid... That Shikamaru is dating! I'm going to kill him! Oh my god! Fucking fag!" She ranted.
"Hey, I advise you to shut the fuck up right now. I happen to have a crush on a guy right now..." Kankuro said, glowering at her.
"Well, I don't care about you. I liked Shikamaru. You can go to gay sex paradise and have all the gay sex you want, you can jump off a plane and suck ten-thousand dicks for all I care!"
"Ten-thousand is a bit much..." Kankuro said and chuckled. "Why do you care so much about Shikamaru? You can't have him, he's gay. Deal."
"Well, I can't have any other guy! You and Gaara are my brothers," she said, staring at him, chewing on the inside of her cheek.
"And frankly, my dear, that would be incest," Kankuro said and chuckled. "Just chill, though. Seriously. You're what, nineteen, almost twenty? There's plenty of other fish... in the desert," Kankuro said and laughed, walking into his room, shutting and locking the door behind him.

Shikaku had looked in all the places his son usually slacked off in and didn't find him in any of those places. He walked by the bar, considering stopping in for a drink, but remembering how his wife had threatened to use the Shadow Strangle on him, he passed it by.
It wasn't long until he saw a familiar blonde pony tail.
"Oi, Ino!" he called out to her.
"Shikaku-san?" Ino asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Hello, Chouji," he said to the other. "Yes, uh, have you guys seen Shikamaru?" he asked.
"No, we're looking for him right now," Ino said, looking concerned.
"Shit..." Shikaku said and sighed. "I kinda kicked his boyfriend out of the house. Ya can't really blame me though, I thought, and still do think he was hurting Shikamaru!" Shikaku said and crossed his arms, though he didn't look as sure as he sounded.
"Caelan? He'd never do anything Shikamaru doesn't want to him..." Ino said.
"That's right. Caelan loves him," Chouji added.
"I hope so, but, ah... I need to find Shikamaru. If you guys find him, so... If you guys find him, will you tell me or Yoshino?" Shikaku asked nervously.
"Sure thing, Shikaku-san," Ino said and smiled.
"Right, good luck," Shikaku said and took off.
XxXxXxXxX
"'Scuse me, Shibi-san," Haru said as he walked behind Shibi, rubbing against the other's backside as he passed. Shibi turned around quickly, his face pink as he stared at Haru.
"Haru!" Shibi said angrily.
"What?" Haru looked over at Shibi innocently.
"What are you trying to pull?" Shibi asked, eying the other warily.
"Nothing, Shibi-san. I wouldn't do anything," Haru said, chewing on his nail, trying his best to look innocent.
"My ass..." Shibi muttered and turned around to continue his work.
"Now that I would do," Haru said.
"Get out!" Shibi said, his face bright red. Haru just giggled and walked away.
XxXxXxXxX
Shikamaru groaned as he woke up, the sun right in his eyes. He covered his face and leaned back against the tree.
"No... I don't wanna get up yet..." he mumbled. He sighed and resigned himself to the task of waking up.
When Shikamaru looked around, he realized he wasn't in his room, or in any house for that matter.
"I must've fallen asleep out here," Shikamaru said and grunted as he stood up. "Oh well, that doesn't matter. The real issue is what I'm going to do now."
Shikamaru noticed Ino and Chouji in the distance. He leaned back against the tree and decided not to say anything unless they talked to him first.
"Shikamaru!" came Ino's voice.
"I figured..." Shikamaru mumbled as she approached. "Yo," he said.
"Where have you been?" she asked angrily.
"Your father was looking for you," Chouji said simply, giving his friend a worried look.
"Why would that bastard care about me anyway?" Shikamaru asked, crossing his arms.
"He's sorry, Shikamaru, he thought Caelan was hurting you. Caelan loves you. Come on!" Ino said, her eyes watering a bit.
"Yeah, well, I can't forgive Caelan just yet. Ah, who am I to talk, Mark got it worse..." Shikamaru sighed. Shikamaru was talking just to talk as he thought over what Ino said. 'He loves me?'
"...Came in to the flower shop this morning," Shikamaru barely caught the end of what Ino was saying.
"What?" Shikamaru asked.
"I said: Caelan came in to the flower shop this morning. He was crying," she said, pouting.
"Crying... Over me?" Shikamaru asked, raising an eyebrow. "Man, I'm nothing to cry over."
"Hey! If I lost you, I'd cry!" Ino said quickly.
"Me too, for a long time," Chouji said, still looking very, very concerned for his friend.
Shikamaru stared at the other two for a few moments.
"Thanks, you guys," he said, giving a weak smile. "I should probably go find Caelan now..." Shikamaru trailed off.
"Good luck," Ino said, reaching out and touching Shikamaru's shoulder. "If you ever need anyone, you know where to find me and Chouji," she said.
"Yeah, thanks," he said, and patted her hand before turning to walk away.
"OH! Your dad said to contact one of your parents!" Ino yelled after him.
"Gotcha," Shikamaru said and waved, walking off. Ino leaned into Chouji for a moment.
"I'm still worried..." she said.
"Me too," Chouji agreed.
XxXxXxXxX
"Shino..." Mark said, holding the other close to his side.
"Huh?" Shino said, looking up from his book at Mark, making the dumbfounded sound because he'd thought Mark was asleep.
"I'm sorry for what I did..." Mark said, sitting up straight as Shino dog-eared the page in his book and sat it on the arm of the sofa.
"No, It's ok. I know you didn't want to hurt Caelan. I'd probably do the same thing if Kiba--"
"That's not what I mean," Mark interrupted him. "And I would beat the piss out of Kiba if he hurt you like that," Mark said, looking at the other, pouting a bit.
"Then what do you mean?" Shino asked as he took one of Mark's hands and held it in both of his.
"I mean, taking you by force the first time I did..." Mark furrowed his brow and bit his lip, watching Shino's face for his reaction.
"I told you, I consented," Shino said, giving the other a gentle smile.
"Still, I shouldn't have done it, I could have hurt you really bad... and I could have scarred you for life, I mean... I..." Mark's eyes started to tear up. Then he practically fell into Shino's shoulder, sobbing against it.
"Mark, I love you. You didn't hurt me and I'm not scarred. I've never been happier," Shino confessed as he wrapped his arms around Mark, rubbing the other's back.
"You're so amazing, Shino," Mark said as he pulled back, wiping his eyes with his sleeve, giving Shino a goofy smile that made the other giggle lightly. "I couldn't have found anyone more perfect than you," Mark said as he stole a kiss.
"Lies," Shino said softly against Mark's lips, though he was smiling.
"Not lies," Mark corrected and pulled back, looking at the other. All of the sudden, an idea struck him. "Let's go see a movie," Mark said, beaming. Shino laughed.
"Alright, sounds good to me."
Shino stood and extended his hand to Mark, who gladly took the hand and stood, then pulled Shino close, wrapping his arms around the other.
"What kind of movie?" Mark asked.
"Mmm..." Shino thought for a second as he too, wrapped his arms around his lover.
"A romantic comedy? No, an action movie with a little bit of romance and a good plot."
"Mmm..." Mark said and giggled as he rubbed his nose with Shino's. "Romantic, funny, action-filled, good plot... Sounds like our lives. When we get home we can turn our film X-rated..." Mark purred against Shino's cheek. Shino giggled.
"Don't get too excited before we leave," Shino said.
"Don't worry, I wont hump your leg in that dark, dark movie theatre..."
Shino laughed and pulled away from the other, taking his hand and walking him to the kitchen, Where Shibi and Haru were sitting, surprisingly playing cards.
"Father?" Shino asked. "Is it ok if we go to a movie?"
"Sure, Shino. Have fun you two," Shibi said as he laid down his hand on the table, sending Haru into a hushed cursing spree. Shino and Mark both smiled as they walked out of the house, together.

Caelan laid in the grass by a stream, underneath a tall shade tree, one arm draped over his stomach, the other laying out in the grass. His lips were parted, and his eyes glazed over as he was lost in memories.
'Hahaha! Heathens! This is the best the lightning village has to offer?' the Hidan of Caelan's memory said, chuckling. 'Pathetic!' he shouted as the smallest blade of Hidan's scythe dug into Mark's shoulder, the other screaming in agony.
'Mark!' Yugito cried out, stopping. She turned to look back at the young men who were trying, to no avail, to fend off the Akatsuki members.
'Get out of here, Yugito!' Mark yelled, pushing the scythe away from him, grimacing as the blade slipped from his flesh, dripping with his blood.
Caelan would have tried to help his teammates, had he not had his hands full with Kakuzu. Kakuzu was fast, unbearably fast and was over powering him. He may have been knocked out, as he hadn't been able to block the last blow. Luckily, Mark took it. Hit in the temple, a punch from Kakuzu.
'Mark! What the hell?!' Caelan shrieked.
'Ungh...' Mark groaned as he stood, a fine trickle of blood running from his nose and temple. 'You take The white-haired one. He's been using more jutsu so far. You should do better against him,' Mark said, 'I'll deal with this guy. Go!'
'Right,' Caelan said, taking off towards Hidan as he drew back his scythe.
'Good luck...' Mark whispered.
He formed some hand signs, signs Caelan barely caught out of the corner of his eyes. The Third Seal of Sealing: Gyumaoh. As Kakuzu was about to throw a punch at him, Mark ducked down and grabbed his feet, glowing chakra shackles appeared and began to grow, slowly, as the jutsu wasn't perfected yet.
Assuming Mark was fine, Caelan focused on Hidan.
'Leave us alone, you bastard!' he shouted, charging the other.
'My, my...' Hidan said, simply side stepping him. 'You want to meet your maker so soon? Praise Jashin, you'll burn in hell,' Hidan said, reaching out with one hand, grabbing at Caelan, who struggled free of the grasp, only to be assaulted from behind by Hidan's scythe.
Caelan only barely escaped with his head intact. He jumped back, landing on the ground, clutching at his neck, realizing a small cut had actually been made.
'Shit!' Caelan cried out. 'Well, if I'm still talking, it's not fatal,' he said, running, keeping his hand pressed to his neck as he dodged Hidan's attempts to fling the scythe at him.
When the bleeding slowed to an amount that Caelan figured wasn't life-threatening, he blocked the scythe with his feet, grabbing onto it and kicking it away.
Caelan grabbed a kunai and cut the rope that held Hidan's scythe.
The rope instantly re-attatched it's self.
'What the hell?!'
'Ha! I'm not going to waste time explaining this to you,' Hidan said as he pulled back his scythe.
Caelan looked quickly over to Mark, who had Kakuzu firmly in a seal, or at least, it seemed firm. He turned his attention back to Hidan once more.
The fight seemed to last hours, when it was only three minutes at best.
A fist came out of nowhere, knocking Caelan to the ground, reopening his neck wound, spurting with bright crimson liquid as he fell to the ground.
'Get serious, Hidan,' Kakuzu said as Caelan struggled to keep his vision.
'I am fucking serious!' Hidan shouted.
'Let's go, the two-tail is getting away.'
'I can't leave these runts alive!' Hidan exclaimed.
'They'll die by nightfall of blood loss or hypothermia if they aren't dead already. They're human, in case you forgot. No one from their village is going to come and help them, they don't want to run into us,' Kakuzu said, clutching his briefcase, lifting one leg and breaking the seals on his ankles easily. 'Let's. Go,' Kakuzu said sternly.
'If they aren't dead, I blame you,' Hidan said, hoisting his scythe over his shoulder. Everything was fading.
'Whatever...' was the last thing Caelan heard before loosing consciousness completely.
Caelan sighed as he absently picked at the grass, these deep, hidden memories pulling at his heart and making his chest hurt. He didn't want to remember these things, they weren't supposed to come back until they found those Akatsuki bastards again, yet they were.
'God damnit!' Caelan remembered Mark shouting, as he slammed his hands on the Raikage's desk.
'Why the fuck not?!' Caelan followed up.
'Show some respect!' a man, short brown hair, old worn face, standing to the left of the Raikage yelled.
'Respect?' Caelan said, and started to laugh. 'Since when have you shown us any respect?'
'You don't deserve it! Wanting to bring more trouble to our village by getting revenge for that demon scum,' the Raikage said, glancing over the fuming boys.
'Fine then!' Mark shouted. 'Fuck you guys, I'm leaving.'
'Right, if this village doesn't value every person living in it, then you all can go suck dicks,' Caelan said, kicking the Raikage's desk, making the end pop up off the ground, unsettling the old man and the Raikage. Mark had already left the room, but Caelan felt the need to spit at the other two before storming.
Caelan walked down the stairs quickly, stomping the whole way down. When he got outside, Mark teleported beside him. Several ninja were yelling at him out of the windows, jumping out to chase the two. They ran from the village, as fast as they could, covering their trails as quickly as possible.
They ran straight, as fast as possible until their legs gave out. Mark grimaced as they both came to a sudden stop, realizing they weren't being followed anymore.
'What... is... that?' Caelan asked, referring to the weapon tied to Mark's back with a purple sash.
'The infamous Kaminari no Tik'ku. The fourth Raikage's naginata,' Mark said, his lips curled up in a snarl. 'The Raikage doesn't have any relatives or teammates left so I couldn't take anything special to him like that, so I took this,' Mark said, fingering the shaft of the weapon.
'It's a good looking weapon. Too bad in was in the wrong hands for so long,' Caelan said.
'Yeah, well, it's mine now, and I'll use it to kill those bastards, and maybe the Raikage then if he's still alive.' Mark's words were filled with such strong hate, Caelan almost didn't believe it possible from his teammate who had always been sweet and innocent and tried to keep everyone together. Caelan just stared at the other for a while.
'One of them got you...' Caelan said and reached out, wiping off a small drop of blood from a small cheek on Mark's cheek.
'Mnh, I'm fine,' Mark said, grabbing the other's wrist and pulling him close.
He hadn't noticed until then, but the rush of adrenaline had excited them both very much. Caelan moaned out loud when Mark crushed their lips together, grinding his hips into his.
Sex for them was a regular thing by then, but there was something about that one time, Mark was rough, which Caelan enjoyed, but his words... Mark growled his love for Caelan as their hips slammed together.
Caelan shook those thoughts from his head. He couldn't deny that he still had feelings for his teammate, but those feelings turned platonic after he'd found Shikamaru.
He sighed dejectedly. He didn't know what to do.
He thought about Shikamaru's body, the first time he'd seen it. He was already hooked, and would have been perfectly fine with just keeping the other as a slave and fucking him whenever he got angry, but Mark, oh, Mark had to bring emotions into it. That loving bastard. Mark fell in love with Shino, making him consider his own feelings for the spiky-haired chunin.
'I love Shikamaru...' Caelan thought. 'But why? I want to fuck his brains out, and yet, that's not all... I felt this way before, when Yugito, Mark and I all became Chunin... We were so happy together, and I was in love with both of them. I guess Shikamaru makes me happy...' Caelan thought as he picked at the grass, creating a bald spot on the earth.
A familiar presence soon joined Caelan, sitting down on the grass beside him.
"It's a beautiful sunset," his company said.
"Not as beautiful as you," Caelan admitted plainly. Shikamaru turned to look at the other.
"Caelan..."
"I'm sorry," Caelan interrupted anything Shikamaru might have to say. "I fucked up big time. But I've been thinking," Caelan said and then sighed, closing his eyes. "I love you," he said. "I don't know why. I thought it was just lust at first, but I really do love you."
Shikamaru was left speechless. He just stared at Caelan for a few minutes as a comfortable silence fell over the two. Shikamaru reached out and rested his hand on the one that was draped over Caelan's stomach.
"I love you too, but I'm still mad. It'll take me a while to fully forgive you, you know, asshole," Shikamaru said, but gave a small, soft smile.
Caelan let a small grin creep onto his face.
"I expected no less," he said, lacing his fingers with Shikamaru's and he sat up.
He looked over at Shikamaru, who's eyes were teary. Caelan reached over and wiped away a tear that only made it to Shikamaru's cheekbone before it was brushed away. Shikamaru leaned in and kissed Caelan's cheek.
"Just give me some time to be alone and assess the situation. I'll be at Asuma's for the next few days, so, two days from now, find me there, alright?" Shikamaru asked, taking his hand back and standing.
"I will," Caelan responded, and watched as Shikamaru waved and walked away, risking a glance back at the other.
It was hard for the two to look away from each other, but eventually they had to. Caelan stood and walked off in the opposite direction, towards Genma and Kotetsu's house.

"Shibi-kun!" Haru purred as he strode up behind the other, who was sitting at the kitchen table, reading a newspaper.
"What?" Shibi asked, not even looking up from his paper.
"You should relax for a bit. You're always so on edge. Take off your coat," Haru instructed. Shibi just grunted. "Oh come on!" Shibi sighed and unzipped and shrugged off his coat, revealing that he was shirtless beneath it.
"Happy?" Shibi asked.
"Indeed...' Haru said, glad he was behind Shibi, for the fact that he was nearly drooling.
Shibi gasped and moaned when Haru's hands began to knead his shoulders. The paper slipped from his hands, and he curled his strong digits into fists, biting his lip to keep himself from moaning again as Haru's thumbs dug into just the right spots on his back.
"God, Haru... When did you become so good at this?" Shibi asked, groaning out as he started to relax into Haru's hands.
"Dunno, natural talent, I guess," Haru said with a grin.
XxXxXxXxX
Shikamaru scanned the house for chakra signals, finding only one, well, two, his mom and their cat, but his father was no where to be found, so he opened the door and walked in, shutting it softly behind him.
"Shikamaru?" his mom asked. She sounded distressed. She ran over to him and hugged him. She started to ask him a million questions, but none of them registered.
"I'm fine mom, I'm just staying with Asuma-sensei for a few days, until I get things sorted out. I'm sorry for leaving, but I couldn't stay here witth the way... Dad was acting," Shikamaru said, frowning a bit.
"It's perfectly alright, just tell me first next time, ok?" she said, hugging him tightly.
"Yeah, I will," Shikamaru said, returning his mom's embrace.
"Do you want something to eat, sweetie?" she asked as she pulled away.
"No thanks. I'm just going to grab a change of clothes and head back to Asuma-sensei's."
"Alright, I love you," Yoshino said, smiling nervously.
"I love you too, Mom."

"That was... a really good movie," Shino said, as they walked out of the specific room their movie was in.
"Yeah, it was. But, I need to go to the bathroom real fast, wait here," Mark said, letting to of Shino's hand, running off.
Shino looked around at the movie posters advertizing the movies playing and saw the one for the movie they'd just watched. It had the main character in a battle outfit on it, the girl had dark blue hair and pale skin, red painted lips, she was a beautiful girl, and her three companions behind her.
"Hey sweetie..." Mark whispered in Shino's ear from behind him, making the other jump. Mark giggled. "Sorry, love." He said. "Ready to go?" he asked.
"Yeah," Shino said, taking one hand from his pocket, holding it out. Mark slipped his hand in Shino's and the two walked from the cinama, back to the Aburame manor, admiring the crisp night air.
"I love you," Mark said as they walked up the steps.
"I love you, too," Shino said, leaning up to steal a kiss as the door was thrown open.
"Heeeey, lovebirds!" Haru called out cheerfully. "How was the movie?"
"It was really good," Shino answered. Mark nodded vigorously.
"That's good. You guys want something to eat?" Haru asked.
"No, I think we're going to go to bed now," Shino said, looking up at Mark, squeezing his hand. Mark tried to hide the grin inching it's way across his face, but failed miserably.
"Oooh, I see," Haru said, beaming at the lovers. "Have fun!" he said and ran off to the den where they assumed Shibi was.
"Tag," Shino said, poking Mark in the chest before running off up the stairs.
Mark gave chase immediately. He threw the door to Shino's room shut behind him and tackled Shino onto the bed, leaning down and stealing a kiss from the strangely out of character boy beneath him.
"Hey, I got something for you," Mark said, taking something long and cylindrical from his back pocket.
At first glance, it looked like a scroll, but Shino watched with wide eyes as he unrolled the item. It was a movie poster for the movie they'd just seen.
"I thought your room was kinda plain, and you seemed to like that movie, so I got you a poster," Mark said, holding the poster with one hand, rubbing the back of his head nervously.
"Thank you..." Shino said, admiring the poster, smiling. He felt his eyes tearing up. He took the poster and quickly rolled it back up. "We'll hang it up first thing tomorrow morning," Shino reassured the other. "But right now I want to make love," he said, his face tinted pink.
Mark smiled and started to kiss along Shino's jawline, reaching around behind the other's head, untieing his headband and setting it on the bedside stand next to the rolled up poster. Shino unzipped Mark's vest and slipped it off the other's shoulders. He dropped the article to the floor, slipping his hands under Mark's shirt, letting his hands come to rest on the small of Mark's back. Mark took Shino's glasses off, while nibbling the other's earlobe. He sat the glasses with the other things on the bedside stand.
Mark kissed his way back to Shino's lips, parting his to slip his tongue into Shino's mouth as he worked on the buttons of the other's coat. Shino shrugged out of the coat when all of the buttons were undone.
Mark and Shino's tongues danced, neither wanting to break the kiss as Shino lifted Mark's shirt, but they had to for it to come off.
Shino let out a soft sigh as his eyes traveled over his lover's chest, followed by his hands, enjoying the feeling of the hard muscles against his fingers. Mark caressed Shino's arm as he moved his hand up, placing it over one of Shino's hands, lifting the other's hand gently and bringing it to his mouth.
"I love your hands..." Mark whispered, nuzzling the other's fingers before turning the hand over to kiss and gently nip at Shino's wrist.
Shino gasped, as this action was oddly sensual.
Mark pressed Shino back into the bed, his head in the middle of the pillow as Mark climbed completely on top of him, resting beween Shino's spread legs, their clothed excitement rubbing together, making both gasp.
"I love you," Mark whispered into Shino's ear as he leaned over the other, moving his hands down to Shino's waistline, teasing the other by putting his fingertips in the other's pants, then raving them retreat to brush over Shino's stomach.
Shino squirmed impatiently, letting out a tiny whine. Mark unbuttoned Shino's pants and pushed them down, running his fingers over Shino's hip bones, admiring the contours of his lovers body as they stripped each other naked.
Once their clothers were off, and laying somewhere on the floor, discareded, no longer cared about, Shino whined, wrapping his arms around Mark's neck.
"Mark..." Shino breathed.
"Shino, you're so beautiful..." Mark whispered against the other's neck as he pressed his face against it, nuzzling.
One of Mark's hands slowly made it's way down Shino's body, brushing the other's hard length and making him gasp, down to his tight pucker, prodding gently. Shino's breath hitched in anticipation.
"Lotion, love?" Mark asked, kissing the sensitive spot where the ear and jaw meet.
"In the drawer..." Shino panted, his eyes shut tight.
Mark reached over with his other hand, finding a tube of hand lotion, he popped the top and squirted a little onto his other hand. He coated his fingers thoroughly and sat the lotion beside them on the bed.
Shino moaned in slight discomfort as one finger was pressed into him, all the way, before it slowly was pulled out and wiggled, stretching him. Shino grunted as the next two fngers were slowly added. Shino whined, not in pain, but in anticipation. Shino ran his fingers through Marks hair, pulling the other into a kiss as his cock throbbed, pressed between their stomachs.
"I need you, Mark..." he breathed softly against the other's cheek once the kiss was broken. Mark moaned as he pulled back, removing his fingers from the other, stealing up the lotion, squeezing a fair amount of lotion into his palm, slicking up his cock. He shivered.
"It's cold," Mark said and smiled. Shino let out a tiny giggle.
Mark pressed Shino's legs back gently, the head of his cock prodding at Shinos entrance.
Shino and Mark embraced tightly as Mark pressed inside of Shino. Shino gasped when Mark was fully sheathed inside of him. The two just held each other in that position for a moment.
"This is amazing..." Shino breathed. Mark hummed in agreement, slowly pulling out and thrusting back in.
Soon, Shino was gasping and moaning, crying out his love for Mark as their hips slammed together, each gripping tightly to the other, Shino's cock rubbing between their stomachs.
Shino threw his head back and arched his back. Mark kissed his neck.
"I love you, Mark!" Shino cried out, clutching desperately at Mark's shoulders. Mark thrust particularly hard, making Shino let out a loud cry.
"I love you too," Mark said. "Cum with me, Shino..." Mark whispered, reaching between their sweat-coated bodies to wrap his fingers around Shino's length and stroke, gently, lovingly, as his other hand took ahold of Shino's arm, pressing it to the bed beside the others head, lacing his fingers with Shino's.
Shino cried out in ecstacy as he came, all over his stomach, his seed splattering over him and Mark, his ass clencing tightly and his hand holding Mark's tightly. Mark moaned, thrusting again and again into the spasming ass, groaning as he reached his peak, resting his head in the crook of Shino's neck as he filled the other with his seed.
"I-- Mmm..Mark..." Shino gasped as he felt the other's warm presence inside him.
Mark pulled out of Shino slowly, watching as his seed dripped from Shino, leaking down his thighs and onto the bed.
Mark drew up Shino in his arm before he lay down, holding the other close, kissing Shino all over his face, clutching the other's hand tightly.
No words needed to be said. They simply shared one more loving kiss before Shino pressed his face into Mark's chest and Mark pulled up the blanket over them before lacing his fingers with Shino's again.
The two fell asleep wrapped in each other's warm embrace, never happier in their lives.
