"You Baka! Stop being so noisy!" Ino hissed at Shikamaru. Shikamaru just yawned and shook off her comment. This agitated Ino but she ignored him and turned her attention back to Lee.
'Lee better not see us here. It would look odd if a girl were spying on him but a guy too?' At the thought Shikamaru just shifted deeper into the bush that he and Ino were currently hiding in, spying on Lee.
"EEE..." Ino screamed came to an abrupt stop when Shikamaru quickly clamped his hand over her mouth. Lee, who was training by himself, turned around at the sudden noise.
"Who's there!?!" Lee asked, cautiously looking around the area.
"You caught me!" Said a familiar gruff voice.
"GAI-SENSEI!" Lee cheered excitedly as Gai walked into the clearing of the forest towards him.
"Why did you scream!?! We are so lucky that Gai was spying on him too!...Why was Gai spying on Lee?" Shikamaru said and started shuddering at the latter part.
"B...B...Bug!" Ino said looking petrified as she pointed her index finger at a small ladybug on a leaf that was in between them.
"Oh for crying out loud." Shikamaru huffed under his breath, looking rather exasperated with the frightened Ino.
"Just be happy that Lee didn't catch us with your screaming." Shikamaru spat and added as an after thought, "Why did I even agree to this!?!"
Looking over at Ino again he saw her eyes start to water. 'Oh yeah. How could I forget. Damn woman, has some strange mind controlling power in her tears.' Shikamaru thought to himself as he put Ino's in his arms and patted her back, attempting to make her feel better.
"When I came out here to help you with your practice, I saw two fans of yours spying on you over there." Gai said motioning his thumb towards the bush where Ino and Shikamaru were hiding.
Shikamaru's heart fell into his stomach as he heard this. Grabbing Ino, he ran as fast as he possibly could.
"Hello Shikamaru and Ino. I didn't know you guys were watching me!" Lee said cheerfully. Shikamaru just stood there, mentally cursing to himself about how he should have remember that Lee's best skill was his speed.
"Hello Lee." Shikamaru said through gritted teeth as he glared down at the blonde haired girl in his arms. Ino just shrugged and smiled sheepishly at him. This had to have been one of Shikamau's worst nightmares, to be caught spying on another guy.
"Do you guys want Lee's autograph because I know how much you idolize him." Gai said as he appeared out of nowhere. Shikamaru decided that this wasn't ONE of his worst nightmares, this WAS his worst nightmare. Venting with anger, he let go of Ino. He knew he would pay for that later on when he heard the 'Ow' that accompanied her fall.
When Ino got up she glared at Shikamaru then turned her attention towards Lee. When she opened her mouth to say something, she felt a giant hand rest on top of her head. Looking upwards she saw Gai with his right hand on top of her head and his left hand on top of Shikamaru's.
"I know you two wish you could become like Lee one day but I doubt that would be happening anytime soon since I'm not your Sensei. If you want, I'll notify your Sensei that you two wish to transfer to my team." Gai said with a huge phony smile, that sparkled, plastered across his face.
************************
"I HATE THEM!" Ino growled as she threw her 'I love Rock Lee' T-shirt onto the ground and stomped on it repeatedly. Shikamaru just stood there, gaping at his girlfriend's unexpected outburst.
When Ino finished her stomping ritual she turned to face Shikamaru, "I lost a lot of money on those damn T-shirts! Why didn't you pay for them?"
"I didn't have any money on me."
Shikamaru tried to suppressed a smile as he remembered Gai being so insistent that they buy those 'I love Rock Lee' T-shirts that Ino finally gave in and paid for them just to get Gai to shut up. His smile did not go unnoticed.
"You think this is FUNNY!?! It's bad enough that I bought those... those... THINGS, but to have Naruto's team walk in on the scene and catch us wearing them!?!"
"Who cares if they saw you." Shikamaru snapped back at Ino, starting to grow weary of her outbursts.
"I do! I just don't like being seen in that thing." Ino said, eyeing the trampled shirt on the ground cautiously. Shikamaru nodded his head in agreement with Ino as he tossed his 'I love Rock Lee' shirt carelessly over his shoulder.
"How about we just quit." Shikamaru suggested to Ino.
"NEVER! I'm a woman on a mission so don't mess with me!" Ino said as her eyes lit up with renewed ambition.
Rolling his eyes he asked, "Why did we even start spying on him in the first place?"
"To see if he says anything about Sakura."
"But no one was out at the clearing with Lee, except Gai but Lee didn't even know that Gai was there."
"I knew that someone was bound to show up though. I mean who could seriously stand training by themselves for that long." Ino said with a nod, everything made sense in her mind but Shikamaru was just as confused as he was before.
"Well, what are we going to do now?" Shikamaru asked, not really caring.
"YOU are going to..." Ino said, looking around to make sure no one was listening then leaning over and whispering her plan to Shikamaru.
*****************
"Wow Gai-Sensei! I'm still shocked that I have fans!" Lee said excitedly.
"When I was your age, I not only have fans but I had female bodyguards! They guarded me with their life because that's how in love with me they were!" Gai said showing off another one of his famous sparkling smiles.
"Wow!" Lee said looking up at his Sensei with admiration.
"YOU WANT ME TO WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Yelled a male voice, echoing throughout the forest.
