Yay! It's the tenth chapter and I'd like to see how this fic is going so far… I'm kinda nervous here… I've never actually written a story about married life yet and this is going to be a big challenge for me since I've got no experience (well, duh. I'm not married yet…) So there…
OOH! My friends and I held a BIG PARTY at a friend's house last Friday to celebrate the end of our fourth quarter exams! Man, that was an ache in the butt… My brain must be very tired… Look! All of its green-ness is leaking out! Guess that explains the sexy Shikaino part in chapter 8… BOHAHAHAHAHAHA! We had karaoke! Very similar to my fic, eh? If you read 'Slut,' I dedicated some songs to Sai and to Lee! Livin' la Vida Loca and Jingle Bell Rock with the matching choreography! We had so much fun, we all looked like a group of drunk people!
Anyways, back to this fic… I'm sorry if I get carried away. I like talking about parties and all…
I'm doing this fic while watching Ouran!!! Yay! How fun! I love Hitachiin-cest!
Chapter 10- Morning Mayhem
The next morning was warmer than usual. The sun was shining brightly outside Shikamaru's window as birds chirped high up on branches of trees. It was nice and quiet in his room as he and Ino hugged each other with a wrinkled white blanket on top of them. Yes, Shikamaru changed his sheets last week. They're not green anymore… Slowly, Shikamaru's eyes opened and saw Ino's sweet smile right in front of him first thing in the morning. To him, it certainly made his day.
He fixed the strap of her top as it had slipped down onto her shoulder and sat up to stare at her tenderly with those romantic eyes. When he started stroking her hair gently, Ino's eyes slowly opened.
"Good morning, Ino." He greeted sweetly, "Did you sleep well?"
With a kiss on the cheek, Ino smiled back at him and replied, "Shikamaru, when I sleep with you, every night seems better than the last."
As they were moving closer to kiss, the doorbell suddenly rang, ruining the sweet moment.
Putting on his lucky green robe, Shikamaru crawled right out of bed and walked out of the room to answer the door. Ino waited for him quietly on the bed, smiling and humming love songs.
(Shikamaru opens the door)
INOICHI & SHIKAKU: Hello!
SHIKAMARU: Uh? What are you guys doing here? A-a-and what's with the luggage!?
Wait, don't tell me…
"Until you get married, Inoichi and I will be living in here with you to make sure you guys won't have any trouble once you get married!" Shikaku said.
"And I also want to make sure you and my daughter aren't doing anything unnecessary before the wedding." Inoichi added. Then, he crept up to Shikamaru and asked again, "ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY SURE YOU DIDN'T GET INO PREGNANT… YET!?"
"Like she said, I know what restraint means okay!?" Shikamaru replied, getting quite pissed.
Hearing all the commotion, Ino rushed down the stairs to check what was going on. Upon seeing her dad, she gasped and asked, "O-o-otousama, what are you and Nara-san doing here!?"
"Ino…" Shikamaru said, "They're moving-in with us…"
"Haha! Very funny!" Ino laughed. "…WHAT!? SERIOSULY!"
"Why would we joke around with you guys? You're our kids, come on!" Shikaku said as he and Inoichi nodded in chorus. "We just wanna make sure nothing bad happens after you guys tie the knot!"
"Uh… Thanks for being concerned and all, but I believe Shikamaru and I'd be able to handle things well!" Ino said nervously.
"Yes, very well said, Ino." Shikamaru added as he started pushing their fathers out the door, "It was nice seeing you and all, so feel free to drop by again some other time…"
"Oh no you don't!" yelled Shikaku, pushing the door away, "We are going to make sure no troubles come between the two of you! We are going to make sure that Ino will become the perfect wife,
"And you, Shikamaru, the perfect husband!"
"How troublesome…" Shikamaru sighed. "But no one's perfect, right? So what's the use?"
"Don't you dare talk back, young man!" Shikaku yelled, "We are going to make this marriage work! And for that to make it work, you need our guidance."
"Trust me…" Inoichi said, "With the two of us around here, your married life will be a guaranteed success!"
"I told you we don't need any help!" Ino insisted, "Shikamaru and I are fine on our own! We have our own ways of living!"
"Oh really?" Shikaku said doubtfully, "Ino, can you cook?"
"Yes, I cook for the two of us every night!"
"Can you clean the house?"
"Yes… I sweep the dust off the floors, dust the furniture, change the curtains occasionally, etc. I also do the laundry, in case you still aren't convinced…"
"Hmmm, impressive… Do you clean your room every morning?"
"Whaddya mean? Shikamaru and I sleep in the same room every night! We take turns in cleaning, so…"
"WHAT!?!? YOU MEAN YOU SLEEP TOGETHER!? NAKED!?"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO, FOR SANDAIME'S SAKE!!!" yelled Ino and Shikamaru, "What on earth are you thinking, you dirty old man!?"
"We only plan on doing that after we get married!" Shikamaru explained, "I don't wanna get Ino pregnant now! I know how hard it is for couples to have a child before their wedding… I don't want Ino to suffer the consequences 'coz of me."
"Shikamaru…" Ino said, "That is so sweet of you."
"Yeah, sure you restrain yourself, but you'll never know what can happen, right?" Inoichi replied, "I trust you, Shikamaru. But I can't say I've given you all of my trust just yet. What if you come home drunk? Then, you'll start screwing Ino!"
"Dad!" Ino yelled, "That's not the kind of guy Shikamaru is!"
"I never really like the taste of alcohol…" Shikamaru said, "I'm the coffee type of guy, you see…"
"But still, it's pretty risky to have the two of you sleeping in the same room, on the same bed!" said Inoihi who was really overprotective of his daughter, "Which is why you two must start sleeping in separate rooms starting tonight!"
"WHAT!?"
Ino and Shikamaru looked as if the world was coming to and end…
"Yeah, but…"
"No buts! This is the decision and it's final!"
"The only time you two can start sleeping together again is after your marriage!"
"Aw, crap…"
And starting today, Ino and Shikamaru will have to suffer the pain and humiliation of their fathers living with them. In-laws can be annoying and this is just the beginning. Sleeping in different rooms seemed ridiculous for this sweet couple, since every night, they'd die to be together as they dream under the endless night.
Shikaku and Inoichi… Two overprotective dads making sure that nothing bad happens to their two adorable children.
This is the start of the in-laws' agonizing nagging!
SHIKAMARU: Oh dear. They've declared Martial Law in my own house…
INO: What can possibly go worse!?
(Dun! Dun! Dun!)
Wow. That has to be really annoying. Don't you just hate it when other people invade your privacy? Damn. I feel so sorry for making this happen to Ino and Shikamaru! But to spice things up a bit, I just had to make this happen. So there…
Oh! I'd like to make a youtube recommendation! Just in case you haven't seen 'Fun with Akatsuki' yet, YOU HAVE TO SEE THEM!!! There are nine episodes at the moment, plus a teaser for the next season.
