Quick little poem told from Shikamaru's point of view. Might write a story to go along with it

The Aches of the Heart

I used to think women were useless

I used to think their only purpose was to nag guys

My mother being no exception

I once asked my father why he cared about women so much

I got a weird answer at the time

But now I am confused

When I was put on a team with Ino

I always thought she was useless

Until recently she said she cared

I began to care for her

She may not have been the strongest person I have ever met put she was defiantly there for me

But then there was the other girl

Temari The Sand-nin

She was a good fighter

She beat me

I was not bitter nor did I care about becoming Chuunin

But she was amazing

Shortly after the Chuunin exams we left on a mission to save Sasuke

I was fighting a sound-nin

She saved me from certain death

It was then when I saw her true power I began to fall in love with her

So now I have a delema

Me the one who disliked women almost all my life is torn between two

Ino the beautiful and Temari the strong

I love them both

Ino refuses to admit anything besides flirting

But Temari... we have a close relationship

We kissed

But I after that kiss of increadible Passion I felt guilty about Ino

So now I must decide between the two and tell the other

These are the aches of the heart

But those few moments I spend with these girls are well worth it
