Sorry I didn't update quick enough

Shikamaru sat back down.

"Why don't you ask Ino out?" Sakura said. Shikamaru and Ino quickly looked at her to see if she was serious and she was. Ino blushed and turned to Shikamaru.

"Well why don't you? You know, you said you got over Temari. So why not give me a shot?" Ino said smiling but deep down she was praying he would ask her.

Shikamaru scratch the back of his head. Oh this is troublesome, but why not? Maybe I'll like Ino just as much as Temari. "Sure, why not. Ino you want to grab some dinner with me later some time."

Ino knew it wasn't really that special but she was still all jumpy on the inside. She swung her arms around him and hugged him. Shikamaru was clearly surprised but he hugged her back.

"Ah-HEM, So what do you guys' want to do tonight?" Kiba said after a while.

"How about the monthly truth or dare game?"Hinata suggested.

"Nah, we do that too often, and anyways without Shikamaru and Temari together it's no fun... And without you and Naruto to." Kiba said.

Everyone's eyes opened wide. Turned to Kiba then Hinata, "Idiot!" Ino and Sakura said in sync said smacking him over the head.

"What did I do?" Kiba whined. They pointed to Hinata and she was crying and mumbling something about Naruto.

"Whoops, was that rude?" He said. They smacked him over the head again but this time everyone, but Hinata, Shikamaru and himself, joined in.

"You know that little voice in your head that tells you what to and not to say? Yea, you don't have one." Sakura said.

"Anyways...I got to go. See ya." Choji, Neji and Lee said.

"Can I tag along?" Tenten and Sakura asked. They nodded.

"I think I'll go home now." Hinata mumbled. "Here I'll walk with you." Kiba said feeling bad about earlier. She nodded slowly. The Only ones who were left were Ino and Shikamaru.

"So, what do you want to do, I mean it is just the two of us." Ino said smiling

"Meh, I don't care." Shikamaru grumbled. He really didn't care that much but since Ino looked upset; he had to say something else. "Actually why don't you chose?" He said. And Ino perked up.

"Well why you don't show me the things you and Temari used to do..." Ino said. Then she looked upset again. "I already know you like her more than me. Maybe if I start to enjoy the things she does... You'll like me more." Ino said not looking up.

Now Shikamaru felt really bad. "Oh c'mon, this isn't the Ino that we know and love." He said. "C'mon, I'll show you something special."

He brought her to Temari's favourite park. He sat down and Ino sat down beside him. "Wow this is really pretty. " Ino said. Shikamaru smiled "but it's no match for your beauty he said." Ino turned to him surprised. Wow He is smooth. She Blushed. "Thanks" Shikamaru turned so that he was facing forward. Ino moved closer to him and leaned her head on his shoulder.

Shikamaru turned surprised. He gulped and slowly put his arm around her. Ino felt the butterflies come. Is this a dream, if it is, don't wake me up! I never thought the day would come where Shikamaru would put his arm around me. He would have done it sooner if it wasn't for that bitch Temari. I can't believe he still chose her over me! But whatever, Shikamaru is mine now, and that's all that matters.

Ino turned to Shikamaru and he turned to her. "Shikamaru..." Ino whispered.

"Yes?" He said.

"I like you...a lot." She said before moving in and kissing him.

When they pulled apart, Shikamaru said "Me too."

And they kissed again.

Sorry I took forever with this, I'll try to make more. But I've decided to make it up to Chapter 17 or 20. Thanks
