Blinking a few times, Shikamaru just stood there. For once not knowing what to do.
"Hey, Shika-kun" Ino grinned as she jogged up to him. "What are you doing here? I thought you would be somewhere else, staring at the clouds. Who forced you to go shopping?" She teased.
Shikamaru crossed his arms. "No one forced me. I'm just taking a walk." He said defiantly. Ino raised an eyebrow.
"Well, since you're not doing anything. . . . Care to help with my shopping?" She asked, trying to get him to give in by pouting a little.
'Oh great, if I don't, she'll be mad. If I do, I'm wasting valuable time.' Shika cautiously weighed the pros and cons before deciding that if he went with Ino, she might say what she wanted for her birthday. "Okay."
"Great!" Ino smiled. "First, we have to get groceries..."
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Half an hour later, Ino was finished shopping. She carried a small handbag while Shikamaru was trapped under a mountain of groceries.
'How troublesome, why did I do this again. . . ? Ah yes, the plan.' "Hey Ino?" Shika spoke up from behind the groceries.
"Yes?"
"Your birthday's tomorrow, right?" Shikamaru said, trying to be casual. Ino turned around to face him and smiled sweetly. Shikamaru felt his face getting hot.
"You remembered! Are you coming to the party?"
'Did she just look hopeful? Nah, must be my imagination.' "Of course. Ummmm.... What do you want for a present?"
"Just get me whatever you want" Ino shrugged. Shikamaru internally made a face. So much for finding out information. . . . .
"-Are you sure you don't want anything specific?" He tried again.
"I'm sure"
Crap.
He walked Ino to her house before muttering a hurried goodbye that sounded like a combination of 'see ya' and 'bye' and running off into the distance. He then decided to walk back to the market to go back to looking for her present.
'Walking to the market, then away from it, then back again. How troublesome.'
On the way to the market he saw his rival-in-love . . . . .Dun dun DUN! (A/N: sorry couldn't resist ^_^'')–Sasuke! Shikamaru decided it best to avoid this 'evil' bishonen. Moving toward the woods Sasuke's voice stopped him.
Shika stared stupidly at the bishie who was now looking in a shop mirror and talking to himself. "I'm pretty and I know it. Yup, I sure am. All the girls love me. I am IRRESISTABLE!"
Shikamaru sweatdropped. Who knew that Sasuke was so full of himself?
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Entering the woods Shikamaru soon heard another familiar voice.
"-If I cant do it then, I'll do 1000 jump rope jumps. If I still can't do it, I'll do 1500 pushups. –And if I still can't do it I'll kick the log 2000 times!!"
Oh great. Lee.
"Good job Lee! Keep at it and you'll be the best ninja ever!"
-And Gai.
Shikamaru peered out from behind a tree at the strange sensei and his student.
"You really think I'll be a great ninja, sensei?" Lee asked, tears of joy springing to his eyes.
Gai grinned and his teeth let off a sparkle with a little 'ching!' sound. "Of course Lee! You even have fans now!"
Lee sniffed happily. "I do?"
"Yup" Gai's teeth sparkled again. "One's here right now. . . . . You can come out now, Shikamaru"
Shikamaru sighed and came out from his hiding place. "-You're mistaken. I was just passing through and I heard you and-"
"-No need to be shy, Shikamaru" Gai cut him off. "I understand how you long to be more like Lee but just can do it, no matter how hard you try."
"Uh, yeah . . okay . . . Well, I've got to go now, I still have to get Ino her birthday present." Shikamaru said hastily, trying to get away as fast as possible.
Like THAT was gonna happen. . . . .
"Aha! A present for the lovely lady Ino? I know just the thing!" Gai sparkled. "-When I was young, the girls fought over me like crazy. I had many girlfriends! Much more than that . . . Kakashi" He spat the last word like it was poison.
"O-kay. . . "A pause. "Well, then. What do you recommend I get her?" Gai struck a pose before turning around. He spun back to face Shika, holding . . . "-An 'I love Rock Lee!' T-shirt?" Shikamaru said in disbelief.
"-All the ladies will want one!" Gai pressed. "They all want to express their love for Lee, but just don't know how! This T-Shirt will give them that ability! Only $11.95!"
At this point. Shikamaru ran for it.
