GW: okay I'd like to start of with the biggest apology in my life. I need to apologize to everyone whos read the story and the story itself. I was feeling unstable about the story, I felt it wasn't good enough and was running out of ideas for it. So I stopped updating, but after reading the last 2 reviews I just feel terrible for stopping. I'll try and make this chapter a good and long one. And later I'll be making my new fic and an account on now that summer is coming, I don't have anything that'll stop me from updates unless I feel uneasy. Sorry everyone I feel terrible.

Shikamaru was feeling uneasy, Ino was gazing at the movie screen without even a slight glance at him, while he couldn't take his eyes off her. He wanted to kiss her so bad. He was smart, he knew she had some sort of feelings for him as well, but the hard part was making something happen.

"Shikamaru? Aren't you enjoying the movie?" Ino asked when she finally noticed his eyes.

"It's… too sappy, that's all," Shikamaru lied. In truth he had no idea what the movie was about.

"Are you kidding me? This is so violent and gorey!" Ino protested. She figured he wasn't watching the movie. "Why are you staring like that you pervert."

Shikamaru blushed, "Ah, I don't mean to, I can't help it."

Ino blushed just as red. She couldn't help but look away. During this time, the movie was at the part where the guy and the girl are alone in a room, waiting for the monster to come and the guy confesses his love.

Ino slid her hand on top of Shikamaru's. It was surprisingly soft.

Shikamaru felt only the warmth of her hand and smiled. "I thought you liked Sasuke."

"I'm trying to be romantic, you don't have to ruin it!" the blonde lashed back.

"Sorry, sorry," Shikamaru chuckled. "Here, I'll do the rest." He a hand on her cheek. It was so soft and delicate, he gradually moved himself closer towards Ino. His heart beated so loud Ino could hear it.

Finally Ino made the last move and embraced Shikamaru warmly. The two were still kissing by the time the movie ended.

Ino was the first to break the embrace and realized the movie was over and the janitor was cleaning up.

Shikamaru, being a man, tried to kiss again. He was pushed back to the floor. He stood up and swept his clothes. "Ahem, sorry…" he cleared his throat.

Ino giggled. "That was a good movie."

Shikamaru laughed, "Definitely! I give it 2 thumbs up."

Meanwhile, the movie had ended for the others as well, and they were waiting for Ino and Shikamaru.

"I bet they were making out the whole time," Tenten teased.

Sakura was moping around, "I didn't get to kiss Sasuke-kun, since he had switched seats with Hinata for better view."

Neji was standing with his eyes closed like usual, beside Sasuke who was finishing a bag of popcorn(he didn't have any, sitting beside Naruto).

Kiba and Naruto were at the arcade again racing some virtual cars.

"Hey, where's Terra?" asked Tenten.

"She left with us didn't she?" Hinata replied. She used Byakugan to try and see where Terra was, but she was unsuccessful.

Shikamaru and Ino had finally caught up and were holding eachother as they walked.

"Have you guys seen- wait a minute… You two are!" Tenten was too stunned to speak.

Even Sasuke and Neji were taken by this.

Kiba and Naruto came back and stared blankly.

"Yep! We're together!" Ino laughed very happily. She hugged Shikamaru, who was smiling. And came to scream some joy with Tenten and Sakura(who was the only one left for Sasuke).

"Congratulations, but have you guys seen Terra anywhere?" Kiba asked. He sniffed around but could only smell the strong odor of popcorn being made and other people.

"No, we just got back. Didn't she watch your movie?" Shikamaru replied.

"Yeah, but she didn't come out with us."

Neji finally spoke, "She is outside in an alley, Kenta and those guys earlier, they've got her."

"How do you know?" Naruto gasped.

"My Byakugan is more highly trained than that of Hinata's, hurry let's get her quickly."

Meanwhile…

"Mmmm Mmmmph!" Terra had a white cloth tied around her mouth.

"Why don't you quiet down baby? So I can do this a little easier? You were the nicest looking girl from your friends, so I'm gonna make sure you get to ride me train!" Kenta chuckled along with all his buddies.

Suddenly, a shadow came from no where, the sun was dim and Kenta didn't even have a shadow. He took it that this was some jutsu, so he dissapeared into a cloud of smoke.

He reappeared behind Shikamaru who was behind a fence with his jutsu.

Kenta was about to punch with all his strength, but Sasuke stopped him with a kick. Immediately, the two were drawn into a fight. Shikamaru turned around and jumped behind the fence. He would've helped Sasuke if the #1 rookie didn't tell him to stop.

"This is my fight!" Sasuke said.

Neji and the others were untying Terra, who was scared out of her mind.

"It's okay now," Neji said before the girl glomped him.

Tenten couldn't help but feel a little jealous, but now was not the time.

Neji handed Terra to Kiba without hesitation and ran towards the battle going on.

Sasuke was somehow pinned down and struggling just to breathe. His Sharingan was activated and proved useless. This guy was something else.

Neji pulled a kunai from his pouch and lashed it at Kenta.

With ease, Kenta deflected the kunai and appeared behind Neji.

Neji had Byakugan and realized Kenta's movements, making it easier to counter attack. He spun around and attempted a punch in the face. But he was quickly struck in the stomach. It was the most pain he'd ever felt. The Hyuuga most talented was struck down by one kick.

Next was Naruto and Kiba's turn. They both pounced like cats, but were taken down immediately.

"Heh, nothing," Kenta smirked. "Now you ladies see that you should've came with me?" he grinned at the konoha girls, who stared back with slight fear.

"You think we're scared! I bet Shikamaru could take you!" Ino blurted, not listening to her conscious, but her instinct.

"Scrawny with the weird hair? I don't think so," Kenta laughed. He gestured with his hands for Shikamaru to come, "Come on, prove what you got."

Shikamaru sighed, "Ino, I like you and all, but you're a pain in the ass…" the lazy ninja exclaimed. He took a few steps forward. "You got 20 seconds to kick my ass…"

Kenta quickly changed his smirk into a scrunched up expression, "You pathetic bastard, not even fit to be a ninja, not to mention a chuunin level." He took out a kunai and threw it at Shikamaru.

Shikamaru dodged, but Kenta threw another one to deflect the first and direct at Shikamaru.

Still in the air, Shikamaru was caught in a bad position.

"SHIKAMARU!" Ino cried as she witnessed her new boyfriend be stabbed in the chest. Blood spilled everywhere. Suddenly Shikamaru blew up into a pile of wood.

Then Kenta was caught off guard and couldn't move a muscle. He was caught by shadow binding jutsu. "You…. Bastard!" he hesitantly turned his head to see Shikamaru.

"You should learn to fight and not talk," Shikamaru smirked.

Now he was open for any kind of attack.

Neji quickly used his famed 64 points of divinty, right before Shikamaru let go.

Kenta was thrown onto the ground.

Sasuke appeared in the sky and blew a great fireball at the non-moving body.

Then the the body burst into smoke.

"Kage bunshin?" Naruto questioned.

"You're all dead…" Kenta murmured from afar. "But for now, consider yourselves lucky a jounin is here." His voice came from nowhere.

"What?" Sakura questioned. Suddenly Kakashi popped out under a tree like a bat.

"Yo."

"Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto was relieved to see him. "Did you see –"

"Yeah, I see you've met Kenta, #1 rookie from 5 years ago," Kakashi exclaimed. "You would have been better off without meeting him, I'll tell you that." Kakashi smiled under his mask and scratched his head.

"You were here the whole time and didn't help us…" Neji muttered.

"Eheh, sorry about that, didn't want to intrude," Kakashi replied.

"He must not be that strong if you didn't feel the need to help," Sasuke thought out loud.

"I know he wouldn't kill you guys," Kakashi jumped from the tree and landed on his feet. "After all, he is a citizen of our village." His gaze was turned to Terra. "Hello young miss, I hope you're feeling alright."

Terra nodded, very shy.

"What's your name? You don't look like you're from around here," Kakashi asked, considering the blue died hair.

"I'm from the Inuzuka tribe, my parents and I moved here for the time being," Terra explained. "I should actually be going home now, my parents will be worried."

"Hey I'll walk you," Kiba offered.

The two walked, saying good bye to everyone.

"I should be going home too, it's late," Sakura looked at Sasuke, hoping for a walk home with the handsome boy.

"Kakashi, I'd like to know more about this Kenta guy…" Sasuke said.

Sakura fell to the ground anime style () and walked home with Ino and Shikamaru instead.

"I'll walk you home Hinata-san!" Naruto smiled and took Hinata's arms, pulling her to her house.

Kakashi and Sasuke walked off and only Tenten and Neji were left.

"Well, um, I guess I'll be going," Tenten guessed she didn't have much of a choice, but to go home.

"I'll walk you home," Neji said out of nowhere. His eyes weren't on Tenten, but she could tell he was blushing. "That Kenta guy might come again, and I want to be there for you, as a friend."

Tenten smiled, it made all the bad things that happened today worth it. She actually felt that Neji had some feelings for her. "Thank you!" she said delightfully.

And so everyone walked their own way home.

GW: well, hoped that was an okay chapter, I don't think it was long enough, but more chapters to come, summer's coming up, should have lots of time. I'm truly sorry about the delay and the worry. One more thing, I'm sorry. Oh and did I mention I'm sorry? Lol SORRY!
