The Revelation

It was a nice sunny sunday morning, two days after the match between Sasuke and Ino.

Shikamaru was sitting underneath a tree, looking peacefully at the clouds. The past two days had been very busy, he had taken Ino to the hospital after she was beaten up by Sasuke, he had made a report of all the genins who had passed the preliminaries and he had visited Ino every day to bring her flowers. After the speech he had given to Sasuke Ino acted a bit strange towards him and every time he visited she didn't say a word about Sasuke or things that had to do with him. She was very kind to him and kept giving compliments to him. Shikamaru knew Ino long enough to know that something was wrong with her and probably it had to do with their relationship. Maybe she'd noticed that he loved her and she didn't wanted to be friends anymore. Shikamaru had no clue of her weird behaviour and he thought that his speech towards Sasuke made her hate him.

The truth though was quite the opposite.

Ino was walking home. She felt absolutely terrible. She had thought all her life long that Sasuke was the one who she'd really loved. And she had hoped that he would give her some mercy. But instead of giving her any mercy that person had beaten the hell out of her. But this situation had one positive side: She knew now who the person was she'd really loved: Nara Shikamaru.

Shikamaru had been there for her so long she could remember. He had always been a friend of her.
But now, after his speech she realised that he was much more than 'just a friend'. She really loved him and she wished that he would become more than a friend. And because she wanted that so badly she decided to visit him this afternoon.

She had no idea what to say when she would arrive at his home, or if she would give him something or not but that didn't stop her from visiting him.

Shikamaru stood up, he had been watching the clouds for three hours and he was sure that his mother would be angry at him when he cam home. 'Life is so troublesome' he thought and he started walking home slowly.

Suddenly a blond haired girl in red clothes (which used to be blue) came running towards him.

'Oh lord she's going to scream at me.' he thought. And again he had it wrong.

Ino didn't doubt, she ran straight towards him and before he could react she gently kissed his lips.

Shikamaru didn't know what to say or do, so he decided to wait till the kiss was over.

After three seconds Ino released Shikamaru from her kiss.

"Erhm Ino," started Shikamaru but Ino pressed her fingers to his lips.

"Shika I'll explain this whole situation to you." she said. "To begin there will be no Sasuke anymore in my life," She looked him deep into his pretty brown eyes. "Thank you for that speech, I think you made Sasuke realise many important things, also if you would not have said those things to him he would have killed me. And." she felt that she was blushing. "You made me realise that Sasuke is not the one who I really love, but you."

There was a long silence after she had spoken those words.

"I'm happy you've realized that." Shikamaru said with a smile on his face.

"Me too." Ino replied.

"But still you have been a nasty vixen to me for many years, I can't forgive you that very easily." said Shikamaru.

"I'll do anything!" Ino answered.

"Anything?" Shikamaru asked.

"Yes, anything." replied Ino.

Shikamaru smiled, he quickly looked at Ino's beautiful red lips and than back into her crystal blue eyes.

Ino knew what he wanted.

"So that's what you want eh?" she said.

Shikamaru smile grew bigger. He closed his eyes and kissed Ino.

Ino did the same. 'Life isn't that bad." she thought when his lips touched hers.
