In which Ino stumbles across an ancient Yamanaka mind jutsu. It's extraordinary for the same reason it's also dangerous: time knows no master.

That was her mission, to save Uchiha Sasuke. She was the only one who could save him, but who would save her? Who would save her when she lost herself?

Ino was a troublesome woman. She took this a step further when she asked Shikamaru why. — Shikamaru/Ino.

Then she noticed the naked raven haired man in the bed with her and looked down at her own nude condition. She seriously started to spaz out.

He was leaving her. No, that wasn't quite right because he had never been hers to begin with. Ino/Shika Complete.

Never show reactions. Never catch their interest. Never let them know what you can see. Well, she really blew the first, but there's still hope for the last two. Unfortunately her "mythological" classmate has taken an annoying interest in her. Ino/Shika

Sometimes Shikamaru thinks a little bit too much.

It's not that he didn't realize his feelings for the girl he's known all his life, it's just it'd be a bother to tell her. Too bad everyone in Konaha knew. And proceeded to beat him until he confessed. Troublesome. ShikaIno, slight ShikaTema, NaruHina.

ONE SHOT – As a ninja you are trained to asses and deal with any situation, to ask only the most important and vital of questions. Who am I? Where am I? Why am I naked? Sasuke/Ino

Ino and Shikamaru. Trapped in a closet. Together. Alone. [Dedicated to Paige, the lover of all things [ShikaIno] Rated T for very minor language, Please R&R!]

Maybe the rain wasn’t so bad. Maybe it was all he really needed. Maybe he just needed the storm to soak him with feeling, only to lead up to this moment in time. Maybe it was just her. ShikaIno ShikaxIno Oneshot Rated T to be safe. Slight angst.

[ShikaxIno] It was embarassing for him to cry in her arms, but he just did. And what made it worse, that one event caused him to fall in love with her real bad! He vowed not to cry again, ever again, but he just couldn't help himself. ONESHOT

He was not staring. Really. ShikaIno.

[ONESHOT] He needed more than the Byakugan to understand what she wanted. NejiIno.
