Shikamaru's P.O.V

I let out a long sigh.

I cant BELIEVE I agreed to help out Sasuke. This is pointless, and its SUPER boring. There are A MILLION other things to do than follow Ino around all day. I do believe in personal space.

"Listen Ino, you wanna...You know...Uh..." I blushed and turned my head to the side. Im not usually the one to ask someone out. Its not my style.

Ino glance at me and raised her eye brow.

"What is it, Shikamaru?"

I sighed and just spat out "Would you like me to take you out?"

Ino's mouth went agape.

"Errr W-with Sakura and Gaara??" I quickly added. Ino shrugged, but gave me a hug.

"Sure Shika kun! I'd love too!"

I let out a sigh of relief as Ino squealed and called Sakura to tell her what was happening. As soon as I saw her go into the other room, I sneaked outside, pulled out my cell phone and dialed Sasuke's number.

"Hello?" His voice was scratchy.

"Sasuke. Plan Anti SakuraXGaara plan, part one is a go." Sasuke laughed slightly.

"Good. That means part 2 should work perfectly and run smoothly." I rolled my eyes. I just knew, somehow, part 2 was going to go all down hill.

"Listen Sasuke..You really think your little plan of yours is going to work?"

"Im sure of it! I paid you, so this better work!"

Oh great, what now? He thinks this is my plan now?

"Okay okay, fine whatever."

"Just dont screw this up!" I was about to respond, but causing a fight with Sasuke is too troublesome. I hung up the phone and stuffed it in my back pocket. Ino came out shortly, smiling.

"Why are you so happy?" I mumbled. She pinched my left cheek.

"Oh Shikamaru! Dont be a dumbass! Your taking Me and Sakura and Gaara out to probably the nices place in Konoha!"

My face sunk.

There goes my money..

OoOoOoLater that nightoOoOoO

Ino and I were sitting at the table, (Ino MADE me dress really nice. So troublesome!)

"Hey Ino! Shikamaru!" I looked up and saw Sakura and Gaara walking over to us. Sakura's hair was up in a pony tail, and Gaara was...himself. I gave a faint wave as Ino greeted them.

"Sakura! Gaara! Glad you could make it!"

"Yeah, I just begged Gaara to come along! Thanks alot for paying, Shika-kun!"

"Oh dont thank me." I said, closed my eyes. "Seriously."

"Oh, but Shikamaru! Your paing for everything! We just have to thank you!"

"Well, if your going to thank someone, thank Sasuke."

"What?"

"Nothing. Nothing at all." I looked at my watch.

They should be here right now...

"HELLO THERE!!"

"Oh god..." I mumbled as I looked up to see Sasuke and his 'date' , Naruko.

Okay, this is how -insert long plan name- part 2 works. Sasuke is planning to make Sakura jealous with his new 'girlfriend' Naruko, which is Naruto in his stupid Harem -Sexy- No jutsu. You'd have to be a fool to not figure it out. Its that simple. And since Sakura is the smartest kunoichi in Konoha, she could have already spotted the genjutsu, a mile away! I told Sasuke this wouldnt work, but no. He insisted that it would. You tell me who the real genius is.

"Oh! Sasuke kun!" Ino exclaimed. She then tugged my shirt sleeve. "Whose that girl? Is she a friend?"

Well, in a way?

"...Y-Yes.." I groaned and slumped in my seat. "Ino, Gaara, Sakura, Thats Narut--"

"NARUKO!...N-Naruko! Thats right, Naruko..." Sasuke cut in. I shook my head, trying to turn this stupid plan around.

"Oh, Naruko?" Sakura raised her eyebrow.

See? Stupid Sasuke! I told you she could see through that damn stupid genjutsu!

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
