"Yeah sure," She giggled. Inner Ino: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! This is NOT a good idea…"Why not? I always knew you'd be brought in by my sexiness."
"Uh…yeah-wait -what?" Shikamaru looked at her funny now, but in the moonlight he was now blushing.
"Admit it, Shika," she teased now. "Ever since our daddys introduced us, you'd always liked me." Inner Ino: I'm lost…what are you talking about? Stop acting ditzy, he'll be pushed away…wait, don't I want to push him away?
"When our daddys first introduced us when we were 5, I thought you had cooties." He explained. "I was only asking you to the star festival as a friend…not a lover, you've obviously already got one of those." Obviously Shikamaru had become comfortable now, enough so to be fully fighting back.
"I just told you, he's NOT my lover-." Inner Ino: no, wait- tell him he is. Then you can't go with Shikamaru. "Uh…actually he is."
"He's your lover?" Shikamaru was instantly confused.
"No!" she shook her head. "Izumo's only my boyfriend."
"Than why did you tell me he wasn't BEFORE I asked you?!" Shikamaru seemed rather upset now. Inner Ino; Crap.
"Because she wasn't supposed to." Neither of them had heard the Chuuin approach.
Aw, no…not another cliffhanger…pffh, not a real bad one though. Yeah, I hope this story isn't going too far downhill…not much time to write it, but I'm doing my best to keep everyone posted ^_^. As always, thanks for the reviews!
