Shikamaru's consciousness came back to him in the morning. He knew it was the morning cause he could hear the deer grazing outside and the light sunlight hitting his eyes. He would 'wake' up every morning in the same manner. Though he is aware of what he is doing, he refuses to get up or even open his eyes. All too troublesome, sleep was the best option, despite all his vast intellect telling him to get his ass up and prepare himself for quite possibly the worst day ever, his laziness just kicked all that logic away and told him to sleep.

Yet that didn't happen this morning, instead he felt a heavy weight on his body. Like his desk had just fallen over and landed on him. Shikamaru had this bad feeling in his stomach, and he knew that whatever awaited him in the land of vision was definitely bad news. His eyelids lifted slowly, as if weighed down by some magical force. Lo and behold he saw the Sand Ninja on top of her. Shikamaru didn't pay attention to Temari last night, but did she change? She was wearing a nightie. It was almost see through and the ninja could visibly see her bra and panties underneath.

"Son of a...!" The ninja began as he sprang to his feet. The Sand Ninja's eyes snapped open. She's been awake for a long time! She lunged at the Shikamaru, causing him to topple over and fall on the ground. He inched towards the wall, her eyes staring him down.

"Good morning..."

"What... the hell did you do?" Shikamaru screamed. He feared the worst; he was known to sleep like a rock. He once fell off his bed to land on a dull shuriken he had for training. He woke up with a piece of metal imbedded into his ass.

"Oh nothing, I just felt uncomfortable in the middle of the night and changed into something more comfortable... you like it?" Temari lifted he body slightly so that Shikamaru could catch a perfect view of her body. It was unbelievably unscarred, even through all her tough battles.

"Stupid hormones... why must they betray me now?" Shikamaru groaned. The lazy Jouuin was even MORE afraid of what would happen if his mother... or even worse his father barged into him. His mother would just scream at him until her throat was raw, but his father... His dad would NEVER let him live this down. He would poke fun of his own son for having a girl (and not to mention a girl in her underwear) in his room. Shikamaru liked his dad, they were alike but it's just that he pokes fun of him at everything. When he goes off sparring with Ino, he always smirks with the strangest look and always replies with a smart-ass tone.

"Shikamaru...?" Temari grinned slyly, dragging a finger up the ninja's torso.

"Kage Mane No Jutsu!" Shikamaru said, it probably wasn't the most intelligent thing to do, but when a half naked, seductive woman is trailing he finger up your torso with the most lustful look in her eyes, you don't do the most intelligent things.

Shikamaru got up, making Temari do the same. "What are you doing Shikamaru?" the words struggling to get out. Talking was not a leisure you had while under the Shadow Copy technique.

"Sorry Temari, but I got to take a shower, then change, so you'll have to stop what you're doing." He sidestepped slowly, causing Temari and Shikamaru to switch places. He dispelled the technique and grabbed a towel, rushing into the washroom quickly.

As the ninja got in, he slammed the door and clicked the dinky lock on. "Phew..." Shikamaru sighed in relief. He threw his jacket and pants onto a small hook on the door and started to warm the water. His mind was racing at this point, he knew that Temari can bust the door down easily but at the same time he was calculating the factor of his parents in. His father should be waking up in about twenty minutes. His mother should already be downstairs, making breakfast. Temari had twenty minutes to do whatever she wants to the poor Jouuin then make off before Shikamaru's mother sees her (grabbing her son in a very... Err... disturbing manner) she will without a doubt kill Temari.

Shikamaru turned looked at the small window on the far wall of the washroom. He could climb out, and then come back in another way. It wouldn't be too bad of an idea. His mind calculated many different possibilities, but it seemed like this was the best chance to avoid anything too... troublesome.

Shikamaru put his clothes back on quietly. He threw his jacket to make noise, hoping to convince Temari that he was really taking a shower. He was halfway out of the window when Temari busted in the door, with her huge fan in hand.

"Shikamaru! I knew you were going to pull something like this!" The Sand ninja screamed, pointing her finger accusingly.

"Crap!" Shikamaru, completely surprised by this course of action fell through the window. He was going to land on hard, dirty... dirt. He braced himself for the impact but he didn't feel pain in the slightest. In fact he landed pretty well, like the ground was shaped for his body... wait a minute. Shikamaru opened his eyes to see Ino, she had caught him, quite well at that.

"Hi Shikamaru!" She said, her eyes clearly stating her wants and needs.

"God I don't' know if this is any better then my previous situation!" He sighed, he hopped up and landed about two feet away from the purple clad ninja. "Sorry Ino... but you and Temari can keep each other busy!"

"Temari was at your house... how long?" Before she could even ask any more questions, Shikamaru was running away, as fast as he could. He was quite fast, not nearly as fast as some ninjas, but he wasn't slow in the very least.

He had a feeling Temari and Ino would be screaming at each other for at least five minutes, at most an hour.

"Need to find back up!" Shikamaru's inner voice screamed. God damn he wishes Chouji was alive. Many friends' names popped into his name. Sakura? Hell no, she'll probably push him into Ino's arms. Neji? No he won't give a damn if Shikamaru gets horrifically raped in some dark alley. Kiba? No wait! He's on a mission today. Sasuke? Sasuke's still is recovering from using the Level 2 Seal. Naruto? Yes... Naruto would work just fine! Sure they weren't the best of buddies but they still had a mutual respect for each other.

Shikamaru racked his brain for the address of the blonde hair ninja. The visual image popped into his head and he changed course suddenly. He could see Ichiraku's Ramen place. That means he was close, he remembered that Naruto had moved his apartment just so he could be close to his beloved ramen.

"Success!" He exclaimed as he saw the apartment building in which Naruto resided. He was about to jump onto the front door when he felt two cold calloused hands clasp onto his ankles. His world went upside down, everything seem to spin as his vision was tumbling around. All hope of escape was gone; he was in the hands of Ino and Temari.

The two grabbed at the Jouuin at the very last second, at the very same time. He was suspended from a two-story building, the two female ninjas standing on the edge, their grip tightening on Shikamaru. They were eyeing Shikamaru with quite possibly the most deadly glare ever. It wasn't full of hatred or despise. It was full of something more... troublesome. Their eyes seemed to be brimming with lust.

"Crap..." Shikamaru thought about a plan, but everything he thought of lead to him breaking his neck in a fall or the girls getting so angry with him he might never live to see the light of day again.

"Shikamaru... you're supposed to go TRAINING with me today!" Ino said through gritted teeth, her gaze moving to look at Temari. The sand ninja had changed into her usual white attire. She seemed to have changed quickly; her hair wasn't as perfect as it should be.

"I'm pretty sure you said something to me in the middle of the night Shikamaru, something about our undying love?"

"You lying bitch! Shut up!" Ino said, pointing an accusing finger at Temari.

"Oh it's no lie dear, I'm pretty sure when Shikamaru ravaged me last ni..."

"Shut up! No! Shikamaru you didn't do anything like that did you?" The girl gripped the lazy Jouuin's ankle tightly.

"Ech... Of course n-!" He felt Ino's grip loosen but Temari's grip starting to cut the blood off to his foot.

"I'm very sure that you DID!" Temari said with gritted teeth.

"You didn't!" Ino gasped, gripping Shikamaru's ankle tighter.

"Can you girls... please put me in an upright position... all the blood is rushing to my head." Shikamaru begged.

The two girls glared at each other then put their target upright.

"Now... as I was saying..." Shikamaru said, his breath ragged from the entire running and his ankles in a huge amount of pain. "Kage Mane no Jutsu!" His shadow grabbed both Temari and Ino, trapping them.

"Now you two, if I let you go do you PROMISE not to go crazy and attack each other and namely not attack ME?"

The two girls eyes shifted to each other, then back to Shikamaru. Their eyes closed at the same time and contemplated the thought. "Yes." The two said together.

Shikamaru sighed. "Good!" He was so glad to get all this troublesome crap over with. He dispelled the Shadow Copy technique and started for the ramen stand. "I'm hungry, now if you don't mind..." Suddenly something in Shikamaru's head clicked. Women... never...ever... keep their word. He has known this for some time.

The Jouuin gulped and slowly turned around, Temari and Ino were laughing with the same dirty tone. "Aw crap..." Shikamaru didn't even bother to struggle, as he was blind folded and gagged.

Everything was quite disturbing when Shikamaru's blindfold was lifted. Well it wasn't quite as disturbing as he thought. He was in his room, which kind of surprised him but the fact that his mother and father were there, laughing at their son is what really freaked him out. He tried to move, but rope bound him tightly to a chair. "Okay mom, dad help me out here!" He tried moving but the chair seemed to be bolted to the floor or something.

"Sorry kid, but your mom thinks this is a fitting punishment for all those mornings you were late for school. And those many times you skipped your turn of watching the deer."

"Dad you have GOT to be kidding me."

"Sorry son, but have fun with Temari and Ino, they've assured us that you won't go through as much harm as I did when I was going out with your mother."

"But you told me you got that scar on your eye from dating mom!"

"Exactly, have fun kiddo!" Shikamaru's hope of escape sunk as his father and mother walked down the stairs, out the door and onto the street. "Dad... you are a cruel jackass." Shikamaru groaned. This was quite possibly the most TROUBLESOME thing ever.

Then reality hit him, where WAS Temari and Ino? They couldn't be plotting his demise could they? Or worse, planning their date?" Shikamaru was really trapped between which was worse. Spending a good four hours being yelled at by the two girls or having a very dull and rusty kunai forced through his cranium.

Shikamaru could feel footsteps, a lifetime of ninja training told him that there were two people walking towards his room. "Crap..." Shikamaru sighed. Temari and Ino entered the room in their usual outfit, but with a huge graph in their arms.

"Okay what's with the graph?" the lazy ninja asked, raising an eyebrow in suspicion.

"There's only about two weeks left before the Winter Festival. In that time being, you will be going out with movies, dinners, that kind of thing. All of it will determine whom you will go out with in the long run." Ino said, pointing to the graph.

"For the remainder of the week, Temari will have you, that means for the next four days she can do whatever she wants to you... within reasonable terms that we have both agreed on."

"What ARE these terms?"

"We both agreed we shouldn't tell you." Temari grinned slyly.

"Oh you..." Shikamaru held his tongue, afraid of what will happen.

"Alright then..." Ino frowned slightly, but she wasn't too upset, knowing that next week, Shikamaru belonged to her, in a sense. Even Shikamaru's parents agreed to the terms.

Shikamaru almost wanted to cry, his plans for playing Shougi and Go with Asuma washed away, he couldn't nap beneath the clouds or do anything else. He was the most troublesome month of his life.
