Title: The Ideal Woman
Characters/Pairing
: ShikaHina
Author's Note
: If you think about it, Hinata really does fit Shikamaru's mould of the perfect woman—pretty, quiet and she doesn't nag.

: I don't own Naruto.


It's two months after the wedding that Hinata finally finds out why Shikamaru agreed to all this.

The proposed match between the Nara and Hyuuga clans was brought up by Hiashi and Hinata saw no real reason to object—at twenty-two she likes to think that she's finally gotten over her Naruto obsession. What surprised her was Shikamaru's acquiescence.

He's shown no interest in ever marrying; frankly, he's never shown interest in a woman.

Hinata works up the courage to ask Shikamaru, and he looks at her and shrugs. "Guess it's because from where I'm standing, you're the ideal woman."
