What's this? I haven't updated in a week and a half? What's wrong with me? Well the truth is I'm lazy; I won't give you an excuse like "School" because truthfully, it is NOT affecting my life that badly. I'm just lazy and have not found any initiative to write. I don't have writer's bock either, I have a good idea planned out, and I'm just lazy. Well I'm going to write now, hope you enjoy it. Let's see how long I can make it eh?
Shikamaru woke up with a groan; it was unusual for him to wake up by himself. Heck this was probably the first time ever. He tried his best to recall the past events. His body seemed to shudder as his mind remembered. He remembered the horrible event that had happened. Ino and Temari were now staying over at his house. Inoshi was fine with it, seeing that Shikato is his best friend.
"Please
let it be a dream, please let it be a dream..." Shikamaru rubbed
his eye while he muttered the words. He sat upright now and looked at
the floor. Ino was on one side of the bed and Temari was on the
other. "Damn." He cursed. Today was Temari's turn at him, and
he had to sneak out before neither of them woke up. He grabbed his
jacket and tip toed out of the room.
Shikamaru made it out
the house and relaxed his muscles. His laziness kicked and even
though two girls who were probably capable of RAPING him in his sleep
were only a dozen meters away, he was still walking and taking it
slowly. "Well first, I need a place to hide out. Naruto's
probably the best place." Shikamaru nodded to himself and started
for the blonde-haired ninja's place.
Shikamaru stopped in front of Ichiraku's Ramen. He was a bit hungry, and his pants had a bit of change in it. Why not? He went in and got a bowl of rare beef. The lazy Jouuin wasn't extremely fond of ramen, but it was good food. And Ichiraku's was a great place to hang out, most of his friends came here and the atmosphere wasn't that of a murky bar.
Shikamaru was slurping on his noodles when the old man said hi to two customers. The two voices that responded sent cold chills down the Jouuin's spine. He continued to eat his noodles, his mind racking for more solutions. He could only plan so many steps on two seconds...Ino and Temari clamped their hands on Shikamaru's shoulders, gripping his shoulder blades tightly. "Shikamaru..." They both said with a death glare.
The
ninja replied with a sheepish laugh. "Just eating breakfast... how
can I help you." Shikamaru put on the fakest smile possible. Ino
didn't take it and neither did Temari. They both grinned evilly but
they didn't drag Shikamaru out, he knew what was going to happen if
he run, hide, or do anything else but follow them.
"Bah...
You guys are so damn troublesome..." Shikamaru pulled out his money
and slapped it down on the counter, waving good-bye to the owner.
The lazy Jouuin was walking in front of the two kuionichis; they were making sure he didn't try anything in the five-minute walk back to the Nara household. Shikamaru's mind raced for ideas, but settled on the one that would be least troublesome. He put his hands into his pocket like he always did but his left hand snapped a button to his smoke bomb holder. His wrist snapped up in a swift movement and caught a smoke bomb with his fingers.
"Later!" Shikamaru yelled and smashed the bomb to the ground. The area erupted in smoke as the lazy ninja started his escape. Before Shikamaru could even get a proper distance between the two, a startling wind picked up.
"Ninpou Kamaitachi!" Temari screamed as she swung her fan in an arc. The wind blew away all the smoke and tossed the Nara boy into the sky, Ino bounded off a building and caught him in mid-air. If Shikamaru didn't know better, he'd swear these two have been training together just for this.
"Okay this isn't going right! You two are supposed to be fighting each other!" Shikamaru whined.
"Too bad Shikamaru-Kun..." Temari said, dragging a finger off the ninja's chin. "Since you don't want to go back home, I guess I'll take you out on our daily routines now." Temari grabbed Shikamaru and started for the local mall.
Ino wanted to laugh, hell if she wasn't so in love with Shikamaru she might've. Wait? Love? Was that the right word for this situation? She thought that she loved Sasuke, but after he did an evil act, she cast him away as at traitor. No, Shikamaru had done many things to piss her off, but she has never hated him or cast him away. She will always love; yes love was the right word for this. She loved Shikamaru.
Temari was dragging Shikamaru from store to store, asking him to see if she looked good in that, or if she would look fat. Shikamaru felt his legs were becoming jelly. Even in his intense Jouuin trainings and exercises, even during the Jouuin exam and the several Anbu missions he's been on, his feet has NEVER hurt as much as they did now. He felt like several kunais were being shoved into his legs with each step.
"Temari... can't we take a rest?" The Shadow user groaned as he was carrying a good hundred pounds worth of make-up, clothing and other female articles. "Ichiraku's not too far from here. It's my favorite hangout place, so please..." he groaned again.
"Alright I guess... but I have to say it's been a great date!" Temari kissed
Shikamaru on the cheek and grabbed some bags off of Shikamaru. "Lead the way... lover"
Shikamaru had to admit, even through all her bossiness, Temari had her charm. Whether it is the subtle kisses and grabs or the more direct language, Temari had her way with men.
"So you've been living with Gaara all your life?" Shikamaru asked, sipping on his ramen soup.
"Yup, it's wasn't as bad as you think. Kankurou's idiocy sure helped a lot though." Temari threw her head back and laughed. "He has so much pornography under his bed and he thinks I don't know. Hah! When he was 13, his definition of "Porn" was COSMO!"
Shikamaru laughed back and ate a bit of his ramen. "Really? Well you should check out Naruto when we were kids. One of his attempts at the 'Henge No Jutsu' was turning into an incredible hot and naked babe. Iruka-Sensei had blood spewing out of his nose for a good two minutes!
The two continued to converse, enjoying each other's presence. Shikamaru was actually enjoying himself; it wasn't really troublesome at all too. He wasn't being forced into a dark corner while his clothes were being ripped to shreds (God he needs a dream analyst to see what that was about) he was just talking and conversing about each other's funny past moments.
Soon the sun went down and the street lamps were lighting up. Shikamaru looked at Temari and smiled his usual crooked smile. "Come on, we should get home." Shikamaru said, cocking his head in the direction of his house. "Before Ino's heart's explodes." Temari smiled at the joke and lifted her share of the bags.
"You know you aren't half bad of a date?" Shikamaru said. He didn't know why he said it, but it just felt right. 'Stupid hormones... go away' The Nara ninja cursed at his hormones as they started to act up slightly.
"Thanks, you aren't that bad yourself." Temari retorted, keeping her same cocky attitude. Shikamaru could see something in her eyes. He couldn't really tell what it was, there was a tinge of lust but underneath it was something else. Curiosity? No... it was something that Shikamaru had never seen in a girl. He had only seen it in his best friend Chouji a long time ago. It was praise, her eyes were praising him, and they admired him for what he was. Of course she didn't admire him, but admiring someone could also translate into something else. She loved him. No, Shikamaru refused to use such a word, especially this early at time. Hell he wasn't sure if he EVER wanted to use it. Like, yea that was the word. She liked him.
Shikamaru's eyes averted from hers and looked back at the road, his face not changing. The Nara ninja was usually from calm, maintaining his composure even in the heat of battle. But something was making his heartbeat faster, making logic seem more erratic in his mind. Suddenly, Temari dropped her bags and forced Shikamaru into a dark alleyway.
Guess those dreams proved to be predictions of the future and those predictions came true. Shikamaru dropped his bags as Temari forced him up against the wall. Shikamaru couldn't think of anything, heat was causing his brain to malfunction, that's right. There was nothing going on, just an abnormal amount of heat. But where was this heat coming from?
Shikamaru looked at Temari, that glint of adoration was gone. Her eyes were full of lust. She wanted Shikamaru, and she wanted bad.
Ino was sitting at her home, arranging her favorite flowers in the kanji of "Nara". She was doing "Shikamaru" at the moment and all with red flowers. Red flowers always symbolized love, but the kind of flowers that Ino was using at the moment symbolized something else as well. It meant "Determination". She was determined that Shikamaru would be his. She knew that he wouldn't fall for her charms; she'll have to be true to he feelings, really have to try.
Ino's eyes started to water with tears as she was working on the letter "Ka". She touched at her cheek, feeling the salty water stream down her face. Why was she crying? Her heart didn't ache of pain, were these... true tears of happiness? She had never had them before, maybe once from eating something incredible delicious but these tears... she felt something else. A true inner peace, her heart was radiating and all the joy was taking a physical form, her tears.
"Shikamaru... I love you." Ino closed her eyes and prayed and hoped that wherever he was, he could feel her heart felt words.
Shikamaru's eyes snapped open, his mouth was almost wide open as Temari was cramming her tongue down his throat, trying to get as much pleasure in her system. His heart, it felt a slight twinge of pain. He felt this way before, once when he stole a chip from Chouji. It was betrayal, he felt like he was betraying someone, somewhere.
Shikamaru's wrists shook loose of Temari's grasp and took her at the waist. He could've sworn she moaned. Instead of what she desired, the lazy Jouuin pushed her forward. "Sorry Temari... Not now, it's a bit too early." Shikamaru pushed himself off the wall and started back for his house, grabbing all the bags on the ground.
"I'll meet you back at my place Temari!" Shikamaru waved back into the dark alley. Temari was still dumbfounded though; her lips were still wet from her lover's saliva and she still feel his warm fingers on her waist. Yet she was... she felt strange. She felt like she was lacking something. It wasn't the emptiness of pleasure that Shikamaru had denied her. She was in fact, expecting it. She had gotten quite a lot of pleasure just from the Nara ninja to cooperate even slightly.
Smiling, Temari knew why Shikamaru had backed away. Ino, that girl was the reason. He felt like she was betraying him. She smiled, at least he was faithful, another quality the Sand-Nin admired. She wasn't giving up however, cause she knew it was only the tip of the iceberg and from Shikamaru's past actions, he was also confused. He wasn't sure whom he truly loved; sure he enjoyed her presence and companionship. But Ino... well they've known each other for years, Temari can't just break that in a couple of days. No she won't be able to break that, ever.
Temari started back for the Nara household, thinking on her plan. She really did love Shikamaru; he was someone she could relate to. Their intelligence complimented each other and they could talk without feeling that their intellect is getting in the way. They never get embarrassed when talking to each other. Also her cocky bossiness really mixed well with his lazy attitude, but so did Ino's hyperactive bossiness.
Temari chuckled to herself and sprinted the rest away, contemplating on her future. Was it going to be Ino at the altar or Temari? Time will tell, only time.
