''You can stay till the morning you know? '' blonde woman said .

''I know'' He took his T-shirt .

''So what are we now?'' Ino looked at him with hurt look .Shikamaru didn't answer anything .

''Shikamaru '' she said quiet '' Please answer me ''

''We are what we always used to be '' Shikamaru looked at her and got out of room .His steps were slow like in movies .

Ino wanted to say something but she couldn't .She loved him and he didn't love her .

Bed was still in mess from passion they shared that night .Passion that he didn't fell but to her that was everything .

She will move on .

But before that she will taste again sweet pain of waiting .

And she will enjoy because there is nothing more beautiful that love .

...Even if its unrequited

Shikamaru's POV

Shikamaru was nervous , he needed one cigarette right now .

He took cigarettes out and looked at Asuma's lighter .

'Why is everything in my life so complicated' he sighed .

Again when he thinks Ino wasn't so bad .He couldn't have Temari but ..Ino was ..sometimes she was just beautiful .

He didn't love her and he never will but she was the girl he liked for 2 years .Why he couldn't just fall for her again ?She didn't change much (in bad way) .She was listening to him unlike in past .But somehow he was thinking only about Temari .

His life is fucked up .The only thing he could do was waiting .

He love Temari BUT he just feels that their relationship is wrong .Doesn't mean it will always be wrong but now ...

He will wait .He is tired of trying to fix his life .

He will wait .Because of her .

Because of him .

Waiting hurts...

and sometimes it doesn't paid off

it only give you pain

but in the end its beautiful

So guys it has been long tome since last up date .Really short chapter what to say :)

I know this doesn't sound like end but it is .I am tired .And i don't wanna be one of these writers who doesn't end up their stories .And i know this doesn't looks like end for story like this .

So i suppose this is end or maybe not .Maybe i will someday after college keep with this story but i don't promise anything .

I love you all and i will miss you all .

Thank for everyone who loved this story and gave me support through my parents divorce ,hard break up .

This chapter waited very long to be published .I love you all and its hard to say goodbye .But i can't leave you waiting anymore .I am sorry if i had hurt anybody while writing these two stories .

It was magical experience that helped me understand somethings .

So for now bye .Love you all .
