Ino Yamanaka x Shikamaru Narra

Theme #- 5 "ano sa" (hey you know)

A/N: SPOILERS FOR PEOPLE WHO AREN'T UPDATED WITH THE MANGA!!!

Shikamaru could feel eyes on him as he emerged from the pool. He had been sparring with Chouji and Kakashi-sensei. As the situation was currently going he wasn't in the winning position. He never realized just how easy Asuma-sensei went on him until Kakashi came into the picture replacing Asuma after his death. Either that or Kakashi was just brutal when it came to training.

"Okay that's enough sparing for today. Chouji will be coming with me to continue his Tai-jutsu training. You Shikamaru will stay hear and focus your chakra balance." 'Oh no not this again!' Shikamaru thought to himself.

"Now keep this bolder on your back balance yourself on the spikes with your chakra and well, you know the drill."

Shikamaru was not happy. He was soaking wet and he was left out hear in the forest to fall asleep while concentrating his chakra into his palms and feet, much like the position when doing pushups. Only the torture didn't stop there, no, not with Kakashi-sensei. He had to keep all this up while balancing on sharp spikes. If he didn't put enough chakra into his palms and feet the spikes simply go through his feet and hands. All this with a bolder on his back and according to sensei once he masters this small one they'll only get bigger and bigger. Dangerous, yes but almost every exercise has the same outcome; if you don't give it your all your severely hurt.

"Well you've been doing this alone for quite enough time. Ino will be joining you shortly only no bolder for her. She has to get used to it before having that much pressure on her body. Well Ja-ne!" and with that sensei and Chouji were off. As soon as they left Ino appeared. 'So she was the one who was watching me before.'

"Hey Shikamaru…is it hard to keep up?"

"Only…a lot."

"Oh. Well I hope you don't know mind me joining you." what was up with her? She was never like this. Had she been around Hinata too long?

"Whatever, it's a drag either way."

"…"

Ino set her three spikes exactly16 inches away from Shikamaru's.

"Not a big fan of open space?"

"In case I fall I can fall on you and then we both won't get hurt." Shikamaru sweat dropped. 'Concentrate…concentrate…keep it up…forget about the bolder…forget about her eyes watching you…concentrate solely on your chakra Shikamaru' he told himself. His cheeks grew hot under her watch, and his hair was plastered to his face, thankfully blocking her out somewhat. He just wished that he would dry up soon, he hated the feeling of his clothes being plastered to his skin. Just when he thought he was going to go crazy from the quiet atmosphere he heard a meek

"A-ano sa…" looking over to Ino he looked at her with a questioning look.

"Yea? What is it?"

Ino leaned over to him, those 16 inches seemed like nothing, and kissed him with everything in her. All that concentration and durability he built up within that little bit of time went completely out the window when she pulled away and Shikamaru fell of his training spikes…

on her.

A/N: Yay! Lol, I'm actually so happy with this little bit! I actually fitted Kakashi in! For that I'm so friggin happy, I love Kakashi-sensei XD Um I hope it didn't seem to perverted, I'm sorry if it did. Um I hope you enjoyed it lol. Well bye for now or as Kakashi-sensei says Ja-ne!
