-Chapter 4: Whoops!-
Ino walked. And walked. And walked. She stifled a yawn. Geez. Who knew Konoha could be so big?She sighed. "When in someone else's body, do as they do! (1)" She trudged ever-so-slowly to Shikamaru's favorite cloud watching spot, which just had to be on the other side of Konoha.
When she was only a few blocks away, a voice called out to her. "Oi!" She half-turned and saw Chouji chugging along after her. He finally reached her, huffing and puffing like the Big Bad Wolf. "I yelled at you at least four times, Shikamaru!" He paused to gulp down air. "Didn't you hear me?"
Ino shook her head. "No. I guess I was too busy…thinking." Chouji grunted. "You always do that, Shikamaru." He looked up at her, squinting in the sun. "You were acting kind of weird during training today, Shika. You weren't complaining or saying how troublesome it was to train. You didn't even stop to cloud-watch!"
Ino blinked in surprise. Chouji was more observant than she had previously thought. "Well, uh…I was just…tired today." Yeah, that's it!"So tired I didn't feel like complaining."
Her teammate studied her suspiciously. Ino prayed to the gods that he had believed her. Finally he shrugged. "Okay. Whatever you say!" He turned and walked away, probably to Ichiraku.
Ino breathed a heavy sigh of relief. He had believed her! There is a god!She cried silently.

Shikamaru cackled evilly, earning him several shocked looks. He quickly smiled, and they smiled back, albeit a bit nervously. He hurried on, berating himself for being so out of character. What if they suspect something besides that Ino's gone loo-loo?He had a mission, and he couldn't fail!
Finally, he spotted his quarry: Team 7. They were still waiting for their teacher. Shikamaru sweat dropped. Couldn't that guy ever be on time?
Sakura immediately noticed him. "Ohayo, Ino-PIG!" He waved cheerfully to her and chuckled when he saw the look stupefied shock on her face. Naruto stopped ranting about stupid jounins who couldn't be on time even if it killed them and who read porn and were so godamn lazy to the unresponsive Sasuke.
Shikamaru marched right up to the Uchiha and said, quite matter-of-factly, "Sasuke, you're an asswipe who would die if he broke a nail."
Sakura and Naruto's jaws fell to the ground. Sasuke glared up at him and softly asked, "What?"
Shikamaru cackled to himself. "I said, Pretty Boy, that you're an asswipe who would die if he broke a nail! And you're probably gay, too." He added as an afterthought.
Sasuke's eyebrow twitched. Oh, this was getting good. Another twitch. The raven-haired youth was opening his mouth to retort when three things happened. First, Naruto fell on his ass laughing. Second, Sakura fainted dead away. And third, Kakashi appeared, guffawing at the scene. Shikamaru tried to conceal it, but to no avail. A wicked grin spread across his face, and he giggled.
He giggled.
He burst into hysterical laughter and skipped away, pleased with his handiwork. Man, being evil and a genius-thus making him and evil genius-was really, really fun!

"INO-PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG!!!!!!!!!"
Instinctively, Ino turned around. She saw her body skipping gaily down the sidewalk opposite her. Behind it was a foaming-at-the-mouth Sakura, obviously enraged at something her body had done.
Ino 2 (as she affectionately called it) turned around. "Hai, Sakura-chaaaaaaan?" it drawled.
Ino's hand twitched. If she ever found out who was in her body and ever got back into her body, she was going to torment the poor soul who was evil enough to stick her in Shika's body.
As she watched Ino 2 evade Sakura's murder attempts, and epiphany of a sort came over. If I'm in HIS body then where would Shikamaru be? Logically, the only place he could go would be…
"EHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!"
---
Shikamaru looked away from Sakura for a moment to investigate the screech, and what he saw scared him poopless. He came to a complete halt, staring at his body and thus Ino. He did the manliest thing he could think of.
"RUN AWAY!!!"
-tbc-
Gasp! Ino has unwittingly stumbled on the answer to her question! What will she do? Well, she can't go up and smack him against the wall, because that ended in failure the first time.
1- Okay, you know the saying "When in Rome, do as the Romans do"? Well, it's kind of like that.
