Chapter 7: Broken hearts and Nieces

Shikamaru POV.

I stood there frozen watching her retreating figure. I knew this would happen but I just wish it didn't...stupid Kenji…why did she have to start dating him? Why did I just realize my feelings for her now and not long ago? If I did…this situation would be a lot more different than what it is now….

Ino POV.

As I ran, still weeping, I bumped into an unexpected someone making me fall down hard on the concrete floor.

"I-Ino?" I know that voice…Kenji! I looked up at him with tears still on my face and lunged towards him. "What's wrong? Why are you crying?" He put his arms around me in a comforting way and wiped my tears away with one hand delicately.

"B-before I t-tell you…a-re you ch-ch-cheating on me?" I looked at him as he sighed at my words and looked at me with a confused face.

"What ever gave you that idea?"

I started to explain to him what Shika told me which made my eyes watery again. "Well…I heard from my friend that this one girl he knows used to date you and the whole time…y-you were ch-cheating on her…"

"Well he's wrong I'm not cheating on you or was I ever cheating on that so called girl he's talking about…he's just probably jealous that your with me now and he didn't make his move sooner…if I were you, would just stop hanging out with him since he doesn't seem like a good friend who would support you."

"But he's my best friend though…I don't know if I can do that…" I looked away from him not wanting him to say anything more terrible about Shika.

"Well if he is your best friend why would he make you cry like this?" while he said this he put his hand on my face making me face him.

"Well maybe I believe him…he's never lied to me before…"

"So you trust him more than me?" I was just about to answer him but then a girl with long curly brown hair plunged on Kenji giving him a peck on the cheek.

"Kenji-kun!"

"A-Ayumi-chan? What are you doing here?"

"What are you talking about silly? You told me to meet you here so we can go out for dinner!"

"Oh um yeah…"

I watched this scene feeling more tears cascading down my face. Shika was right…Kenji was cheating on me…I should have believed him in the beginning…now I feel really hurt…damn you Kenji! "Yeah Kenji…I definitely trust him more than you! I mean he's definitely not a cheating bastard!" I then slapped him in the face and pushed past him running again. I'm sorry Shika…I'm so sorry…

Shika POV.

I sighed and started to leave this place. It was pointless to stay there motionless just watching if she would actually come back to me…god I wish I broke it to her more lightly then she wouldn't have run off. Our friendship is probably broken know…wow, and they say I'm genius…

As I was lost in my thoughts, I didn't realize that I had already arrived at my destination. Home. When I opened the door I ignored my mother's complaints when she asked where I was and why I hadn't been home hours ago. I walked into my room and plopped on my bed. I was pretty tired and as I was about to fall asleep my phone rang. I picked it up and found out it was Sakura.

"Shika! What happened with Ino?" she asked me in a worried tone.

"Well…let's just say I told her about Kenji and she just didn't believe and ran away…I don't know what happened to her after though…" I said with a long sigh.

"Oh really? I was just walking to market place when she ran past me crying. I tried to follow her but she ran into her house and locked the door. She wouldn't even let me in! God…I hope she's ok…"

"I do too…" I sighed again burying my face into my pillow. "Do you think I should apologize to her?"

"Yeah maybe…but do it tomorrow…give her time to cool off…"

"Ok well I'll see you. Bye." I hanged up and the closed my eyes not wanting to open them.

When I did open my eyes, it was already 10 in the morning. I groaned not wanting to get up but then remembered what I needed to do. Go see Ino. I got up and changed into my normal attire and headed down stairs. As I went to the door my dad called me over.

"Son! You have a mission. Your better head down there, it sounds urgent."

I groaned heading out the door and straight for the Gondaime's office.

"Nara Shikamaru, I'm having you to escort my niece Mika-chan, around Konaha." She pointed to girl with long black hair with big brown eyes and pale, fair skin. She smiled and bowed. She was actually pretty cute…"She will be staying here for a week so make her comfortable."

"Troublesome, why me?"

"Because, now go I'm busy." She replied as she shooed as away from her office.

"Troublesome woman, she's probably going to get drunk again." I said, stuffing my hands into my pockets as Mika walked beside me giggling. "So Mika-san, where would you like to go?"

"Um…could we go shopping maybe?" she asked with a smile.

"All girls are the same, aren't they? But sure, why not?" I said in my usual bored tone.

She grinned at me and looked around. The next thing I knew, I was pulled into a clothing store giving out opinions to a gorgeous looking girl with the most perfect figure.

"How's this?" she asked as she sported a white halter top with a pair of tight dark denim jeans. She looked almost like a model walking down the cat walk.

"You look fine Mika-san."

"Thanks!" she said heading to the changing rooms but then stopped and looked back at me with a smile, "Oh and feel free to call me Mika-chan, and I'll call you Shika-kun!"

"You done, Mika-chan?" I asked her as she got out of the changing room.

She nodded and I took all the clothes she had liked and bought them for her.

"I'm hungry; could we go eat Shika-kun?"

"Troublesome…fine" I replied as I yawned.

"You sure think everything is troublesome, Shika-kun. Would you consider me troublesome?" She asked me pouting in the cutest way you could ever imagine. I turned away looking up at the sky hoping to hide the red tints that had appeared on my face.

"All women are troublesome."

"How come?"

"All they do is boss you around and scream at you."

"Shika-kun…" I looked back at her noticing the sadness that had appeared on her face. "I'm sorry Shika-kun if I acted like that…"

"It's ok Mika-chan. You didn't do anything at all. And to answer your previous question, no I don't think you're troublesome."

She grinned as she hugged my arm. "So, where we going to eat?"

"Do you like ramen?"

"Of course!"

We walked over to Ichiraku Ramen, talking and laughing the way there. I found out that Mika was training under Tsunade, just like Sakura, and that she liked flowers, cloud watching, and cooking.

"Can we have two bowls of beef ramen Ayame?"

"Sure" she replied, giving us two bowls beef ramen. "So Shikamaru, who's this lovely lady?"

"Ayame, this is Godaime's niece Mika-chan. I'm supposed to escort her around Konoha this week."

"Nice to meet you, Mika-chan! I hope Shikamaru doesn't fall asleep as he escorts you around being the lazy ass he is." Ayame commented as she and Mika giggled. I glared at Ayame.

"Well I hope you guys have a nice meal!" Ayame said going to the next customer.

"Ayame-san seems nice."

"Yeah."

When we finished our meal, I took her down to my favourite cloud-watching hill. We layed down on the grass together watching all the clouds go by.

"Ohh look, a butterfly!" Mika pointed out as it fluttered around me. She reached for it but missed accidentally falling on top of me. We blushed at the same time as we noticed how close our faces were. I was about to say something when I heard a voice calling out my name. I knew that voice. Ino. I turned around as Mika got off me and saw her. She looked hurt.

"I, um, I'm sorry for interrupting." She said as looked down then turned around running.

"Ino-chan wait!" I yelled getting up. I was about to run to her but I hesitated and thought about the consequences. I mean I was still on a mission. I sighed and looked over at Mika.

She wore a confused look on her face. "Did I do something wrong?"

"No Mika-chan…no…"
