How can I tell you? - Chapter 8
Poor ol' Shikamaru...
------------------
Naruto and Gaara's group had arrived at Wind village. Tenma had given them some time to rest for the moment since he had to talk first to the Kazekage about the nin's arrival. Since gaara and his siblings dont have much money yet, they decieded to stay for the moment with Naruto's group in the cottage Tenma had assigned them.
They were in the bedroom, and Naruto was enjoyong himself.
"whee!" he said as he jumped on the feather-soft bed, "NOW THIS IS THE LIFE!"
Hinata tried to calm the hyper ninja down,
"N-naruto... maybe it'd be a good idea if I just gave you ramen?"
Naruto jumped one last leap before he jumped down to hinata.
"R-Ramen?, " he asked while what seemed like tears (in a funny way) flowing from his eyes, "raaaamen.... what joy.....! Gaara want some too?"
Gaara was glaring at naruto, he couldnt find anything enjoyable with something called 'joy'
"hmph..."
---------
Ino on the meanwhile, was on the roof. She wanted her time alone. She couldnt face shikamaru anymore, all she wanted to do right now was forget that she loved him more than a teammate.
"Shika....maru... do..... you..... still.... like temari more.... than.. me? " she asked herself aloud as she shed her tears, she couldnt conseal them in her heart any longer.
"no... I must tell him.... I cant stand the weight of it anymore..." she said as she wiped the tears off her face and slowly climbed down the roof.
--------
Shikamaru, on the other hand, was enjoying the freshly dried meadow beside the Cottage. He was enjoying the grass and the wind and the shade of the tree when he suddenly get reminded of ino when he saw the clear blue skies that also reminded him of her eyes. He became troubled for a while remembering how he saw them all red and teary.
"why are you keeping your feelings to yourself? Im your friend remember?" he thought aloud,
Shikamaru placed his arms on his head, and crossed his legs as he lay on the soft grass.
"Why is it that you cant stand seeing me ever since temari and her siblings came?"
He raised a fist on the sky,
"are you...jealous?"
He shook his head.
"no it cant be... she'll never love me... she's too infatuated with that Sasuke... what's with him that's so special?"
He let his fist fall to the ground, trying to control his emotions.
"im a genius... i was the first to become chuunin than all of them... What's with that damn sasuke that I havent got? oh yeah right... his looks..."
He closed his eyes and opened them again when he felt the wind whisper on his ear.
"hah... nevermind Ino... Temari's the one I like... or do I?"
He looked at the tree.
"Temari... Ino... who do i really like?"
He held a laugh.
"hah... Okay, lets see, hmm... whoever comes looking for me is who i wanna go with in life....okay?" he said to himself, he didnt expect that what he said did come true.
But it wasnt ino, It was Temari...
"Hey shika... what's up?" She said as she sat down next to Shikamaru.
so Temari is the one? well... okay, he said to himself
"nah...its nothin..."
Temari looked away.
"hey... so this is what you do to relax... that's good..."
Shikamaru, on the other hand, while Temari was looking around, was busing his mind on what to say... maybe it was time he gave admittance a shot...
Shikamaru sat up and looked at temari,
"Hey ... Te...Temari..!"
temari looked at him, confused.
"Yeah?"
Shikamaru gulped,
"I... I...."
Temari Raised an eyebrow
"hmmm?"
"I...I Like you... a lot! I love you and...I..."
Temari just laughed at those words.
"ha.... You dont... dont fool yourself..."
Shikamaru didnt listen.
"I love you temari... And I can prove it!"
"now how are ya gonna do that?"
Temari sat there in surprise when she noticed Shikamaru had went closer to her and leaned to kiss her, Shikamaru didnt realize who had seen them doing this... Ino.
----------
Ino fell to the ground in tears at what she saw...
I... I... I really... dont have a chance.... do I?
She stood up and ran towards the cottage in tears, went to her room and locked the door shut.
----------
Temari looked away just in time, Shikamaru had only kissed her in the cheek. She noticed another presence with them earlier, and she knew who that was.
"Shikamaru... I know what your true feelings are... You dont really love me..."
Shikamaru looked at her in confusion.
"how can you say that when I almost kissed you?"
Temari just laughed.
"hey... I have two brothers, I can tell if a boy is telling the truth or is hiding it... and youre hiding the truth."
Shikamaru fell silent.
"Heh... Maybe youre right... you like me, " temari started again this time making it clearer, "but you dont love me because there's someone else clouding your thoughts..."
Shikamaru looked at the sky.
"and who would that be?"
Temari stood up smiling.
"heh... youre even more naive than I thought... the long-haired blonde.... what was her name again? Ya.. Yamanaka... who?" she said trying to remember a name.
Shikamaru looked at a tulip that was next to him, flowing freely on the wind.
"Yamanaka Ino..."
Temari clapped her hand together
"ah! yes! Yamanaka Ino! You seem to like her, and I think there's something more for the both of you..."
"she likes That Uchiha boy more than me... Its impossible..."
Temari grinned.
"hey... you know... even if you have all the smarts in the world, You cant expect your head to be right all the time... sometimes you have to listen to your heart and set your wits aside..."
Then It hit Shikamaru like an arrow through his heart. She was right. He did love ino...
"hah... maybe youre right Temari... Thanks..." Shikamaru thanked Temari.
Temari put her Hands on her waist,
"hah.... no prob... me and my siblings had enough killing, we wanna treat you folks as friends.... since you have been doing so for us... If you need any help with Ino.. I'll be glad to help out... so see ya!" she said as she walked away, raising a hand to Shikamaru to say goodbye.
"yeah... see ya..."
--------------------
Meanwhile, Hinata had practically begged Ino into helping her prepare the needed Ingredients for her 'Special' Ramen that she'll serve for lunch. Temari also helped out. Ino had been assigned to Chopping the ingredients.
"Temari... could you hand over the Garlic?" Hinata asked to the girl beside her.
"here... Hey Ino! we need the Onions now..." Temari said as she passed the garlic to the navy-haired girl.
But It seemed the onions didnt help with Ino's depressed self.
Shikamaru... geez.. I... cant... stop... crying.... heh, Its because of the onions...
"Earth to Ino! the onions?" Temari poked the daydreaming chuunin.
Ino snapped back into reality,
"oh im sorry... here...." Ino said as she passed the plateful of onions to temari...
Temari looked at the onions.
"hey... these arnt chopped up right... here lemme do this..."
Then she grabbed Ino's knife and Chopped it up with ease. It didnt help ino at all... It made her more depressed. Then they heard someone clap, It was shikamaru.
"hey... nice choppin' Temari..." he said.
Temari smiled as she carried the onions to hinata.
"Its nothin..."
Temari and Hinata were busy in the kitchen. Ino was left to watch... She felt useless... so helpless. She's probrobly the worst cook in all of Konohagure... Even naruto said before that when she cooks he finds it very hard to eat... None of anything she saw, or remembered did help with her feelings. She'll never be a good wife...
Maybe I really dont deserve a genius like shikamaru... Maybe I should stop dreaming of getting married and.... just.... stay single... that's right! I'd have no family to tend to... and-
Her thoughts were stopped by shikamaru, when he sat down on the chair next to her.
"H-Hey... Ino... What's up...?"
Ino didnt answer, There was gotta be something wrong with her.
"Ino... Is there a problem with you?" Shikamaru asked,
"Theres... nothing wrong with me..." Ino said, but her words did not convice Shikamaru...
Shikamaru looked at her with confusion.
"hey... are you sure? you sound like you just dont feel well..." he noted,
Ino stood up,
"THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH ME! Just... Leave me... alone..." she shouted to shikamaru as she banged the table with her hands and Ran away to her room again.
There was something In that moment Shikamaru didnt see before in Ino.... Tears. It was the first time she cried for real. She usually just joked about crying just to tease shikamaru before, but this was different. He didnt have an Idea what was wrong with her.
Naruto Went in, Almost Bumping into Ino as she ran to the door in unnoticed tears.
"hey... what's wrong with the sasuk-idiot? she'll miss the ramen!" Naruto said to shikamaru.
Shikamaru pouted for a moment, putting his head's weight on his arm.
"Hell... Like i had an Idea of what's going on with her...."
Hinata brought the steaming pot of ramen to the table.
"It seemed earlier that she just wanted to...ummm... die..." Hinata told them, The 'die' part had made shikamaru worried. Gaara and Kankuro (Yay I got his name! thanks guys! XD ) came, and started to eat. Ino really didnt come at all...
"hey... Shika... Comeon! EAT! Hinata's ramen is great!" Naruto said to the lazy chuunin as he dug on into the hot soup.
Shikamaru just looked at his food....
"I lost my appetite... I'm going up to check on ino..."
Temari Took Shikamaru's bowl and sat it on a plate so he could hold.
"Take that to Ino... She must be hungry by now...." She said.
Shikamaru nodded and took the food upstairs.
"well okay... ja..."
"ja"
------------
Shikamaru was already in front of Ino's room door. He couldnt get it open because that it was locked shut. He knocked a few times and knocked again. Something was wrong....
"hey Ino! What's wrong with you!? youve been like this all day...! What's the matter?"
Then a voice shouted out, "Shut up... Just leave me alone....! Leave me alone!!!!"
It really seemed like tears.
"Ino, I have food for you... You have to eat or else you'll get Sick...Im-"
Ino didnt give Shikamaru a chance to finish.
"DAMNIT! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE...." She shouted out loud...
this is absolutely troublesome.... geez what's wrong with her?
"im going leave your food on the door, Ino... You hear?"
He placed the Ramen next to the door and left. He was really worried now....
Ino... what's happening to you...? he thought as he slammed the door to his room shut.
------------------
There.... That's the end of sad Chapter 8... Poor Ino...
Shikamaru : geez..... you never let me in on anything do you ino?"
Ino: ....Just leave me alone...
sweatdrops okaaaaay.. Um... here Ino will still be on the next chapter, "why me?". Dont worry, It'll come to a Good ending. And NaruHina fans dont worry, the next chapter will be one of the last Major ShikaIno moment. Then we'll have to go back to NaruHina and then a slight fight and New characters...!
3 girls : Hey! we cant wait already!
Girl 1: Hey... I'm appearing first!!! Horray!
Girl 3: geez... Why do I have to be stuck in this Damned coma?
Girl 2: Hey... No worries... You have to wait for Hinata's medicine...!
Cut it out girls... youre giving away the story... I'll erase all of you if you dont shut up...!
Girls : Sorry Mika-Sama....
Bwahahaha ! anyways, continue to read and review! o;;
