Chapter 8: Two Girls

Shika POV.

After that incident, I walked Mika back to her apartment. She still wore a confused look on her face. She didn't understand what had just happened and I refused to tell her. I decided that it was better not to worry her with my problems. I stuffed my hands in my pockets and looked around with a bored expression on my face. I spotted some cherry blossoms as we walked and remembered that the cherry blossom festival would be soon coming up.

"So the cherry blossom festival is coming up, right?" Mika said as if she read my mind.

"Troublesome…two more days."

"Tsunade-sama told me about it…it sounds like a lot of fun!" she smiled. It looked like she was back to her normal self.

"Yeah, it is…" I replied, looking out into the distance and noticing the bright orange sunset.

"Umm…Shika-kun?" Mika said as my attention went back to her.

"Yeah?"

"Well umm…I heard there was a dance and I was wondering…would you go with me? I mean…I wouldn't want to go with a stranger…" she said blushing and playing with her fingers.

"Umm…" It hit me. There was the dance. How could I forget! Crap if Ino sees me with her it would definitely look like we were a couple!

"It's ok if you don't want to…" I noticed the pain in her voice. She walked ahead of me. I didn't realize that we had reached her apartment until she started heading towards the building.

"Mika-chan wait! I didn't say I didn't want to…sure I'll go with you…" I called after her, not wanting to hurt her feelings. I would just have to explain to Ino about the whole thing afterwards.

"Thanks Shika-kun." She said as she turned towards me smiling. She then gave me a hug and a peck on the cheek. "Bye Shika-kun!" she said as she ran towards her apartment. I smiled. It would be too troublesome to upset another girl…now to apologize to Ino…

Ino POV.

"Shika-kun!" I called out his name as I searched him. I was at his favourite cloud watching spot. I then saw a haircut in a shape of a pineapple in the corner of my eye. It had to be him. I ran over to him with a smile.

"Hey Shi-" I stopped in the middle of my sentence as I saw a girl with long black hair on top of him, inches from his face. I felt a wave of shock, confusion and anger come over me at the same time. Shikamaru turned around as he noticed my presence. The girl that was once on top of him was now at his side blushing.

"I, um…I'm sorry for interrupting…" I said as I turned around running, not wanting to stay a moment longer. I heard him call out my name but I didn't dare turn back. My goal was to apologize to Shika about the other day but seeing him with another girl was painful. I guess it was the feeling of jealousy coming over me. I sighed as I came to my destination, my family's flower shop. I opened the door, grabbed an apron and flipped the open sign. I was about to grab a seat at the counter when I heard someone come in.

"Sakura-chan, what are you doing here?" I asked smiling.

"You sound like you don't want to see me! Anyway, how are you?"

"Good I guess…I mean having your boyfriend cheat on you and seeing a guy that just confessed to you with another girl is the greatest thing that ever happened to me!" I said obviously being sarcastic. It was frustrating and hard to deal with. I sat down and looked out the window. I felt Sakura put her hand on my shoulder in a comforting gesture.

"I'm so sorry Ino-chan…"

"It's not your fault…"

"But back it up there, you saw Shikamaru with another girl?"

"How do you know that Shikamaru confessed to me?" I said looking at her wearing a confused look on my face.

"Well…um…never mind about that…Shikamaru with another girl? You have to be kidding me!"

"I'm not…I saw him with another girl at his favourite cloud watching hill and she was on top of him! On top of him!" I explained.

She smirked. "Am I sensing jealousy from Yamanaka Ino? And on top of that for Nara Shikamaru?"

I blushed. "No, it's not that…I mean it couldn't be, right?

"Well you should as him to go to the dance with you at the Sakura festival! Oh, and we still need to go shopping for that!"

"I don't know, plus I'm still kind of healing from Kenji… but shopping sounds fun!"

"I understand…so spill, how did Shika confess to you?" Sakura asked as her eyes lit up showing a deep interest on the subject.

I smiled. "Well…" I started as I told her about how we had bumped into each other and he took me out for dinner, to the guessing game, our old memories on his favourite hill and how I found out about Kenji cheating on me, making me break up with him.

"Wow…that's a lot to take in one day…" Sakura said when I finished.

"Yeah…it is…now I don't know what to do…" I said again, biting my lip.

"Well I think you should apologize and tell Shika your feelings. If you're not ready I think he will be willing to wait for you…"

"Thanks Sakura-chan! This is the first time today that I actually feel alright again…" I said with a smile and gave her a hug.

"Well you can thank me later, let's go shopping! I need a new yukata!" she said dragging me out of the door and heading to the nearest store that sold a cute yukata. (A/N: I'm not going to tell you what they bought since I'm going to tell you later!) As we exited the store filled with laughter and smiles we had bumped into a certain somebody.

"Ino-chan…I've been looking for you." Shikamaru said as he helped me and Sakura up.

"Oh look at the time…I better get home…see you guys! And Shikamaru please take care of Ino-chan!" Sakura said leaving me and Shikamaru alone.

Shikamaru and I started walking back to my home. It was quiet until I broke the silence. "Shikamaru I'm sorry about yesterday…you were right…Kenji was cheating on me…I saw him with another girl…I totally broke up with him…just do one thing for me? Please don't say I told you so…" I said trying my hardest not to cry.

I felt him wrap his arms around me. "I won't…I promise Ino-chan…and that girl today. She's the Godaime's niece. I'm supposed to show her around. She sort of fell on top me trying to catch a butterfly…"

"Not a bee?" I asked with a smile as I looked up at him. Our faces were inches apart. He moved in closer to kiss me but I shook my head. "Shika-kun I do have feeling towards you but I'm not ready yet…not after breaking up with Kenji…will you be able to wait for me?"

"Troublesome but I will…" he said, releasing me but not letting go of my hand. We continued to walk over to my house.

"Thanks Shika-kun…so the cherry blossom festival is coming up…you actually going to go this time?"

"Yeah I'm going to have to because of Mika-chan."

"Godaime's niece? Why?" I asked, looking at him.

"Well she asked me and I just couldn't say no…part of my mission."

I bit my lip as I felt the tinge of jealousy again. She better not get too close to my Shika-kun…

"Oh I see…" I said as we reached my house. "I'll see you later Shika-kun!" I gave him a peck in the cheek and went inside. I sighed and leaned on my door. Damn.
