Welcome, welcome. I see that you have found this short story/ drabble fiction. For the following 20 days, I shall provide you with nothing but Neji/Shika goodness (there's not enough of it dammit!). Each day I will post one drabble up to keep this love drug alive. I hope you'll enjoy this as much as I had writing it.-

Authors Side Note: This is dedicated to the wonderful lil kuma over down at I thank her for making me a huge Neji/Shika fan.

Authors Side Note 2: I am moving very, very soon, and I don't know how long the internet transfer is going to be. So I might be a tad late with the next one. So if you want to keep up, just put me under the Author Alert. Thanks!

I wub reviews:

Mayfaire: Don't worry, I promise there will be a nice lemon towards the end like around Track 18 or so. Sorry if I cheated ya! (Muhahahaha cough ha!)

Sakumagoro: Thanks for the tissues!

Tenshi-Tara: Yeah, with Neji mothering Shikamaru's bad headaches is a good idea, but I already planned something ebil for the two, as much as I hate to write it. I won't give out any hints or clues, all I will say is, Track 17, 18, 19, and 20 will be sad. Very sad. And it will be in chapters! I'm just warning you (and rest of you guys..err gals xD)

JasmineStarlight: lmao. Yeah, just thought of Shika is hott.

Disclaimer: I wish I did own it...but sadly, I do not.

Track 4: Dominance Seme or Uke?

The sun was setting upon the village of Konoha. The sphere shaped ball went behind the Hokage mountain where carvings of the previous leaders faces was shown through the multi-colored lights of orange and crimson red. The streets was busier than ever. New stores and mini shops have been put up on the side of the side walk. Women standing on the corner trying to catch their audience attention with performances or trying to sell expensive perfumes. Three genins went into a local near by restaurant to catch something to eat and to celebrate living for another day. The three ninjas sat down at their favorite spot by the window to see the locals pass by.

"Ahh!" Exclaimed the blonde hair girl, "I haven't been here in ages!"

"That's because we haven't came to this place in one month." The girl laugh nervously as she peeked across the table where her teammate is immediately glancing over the menu.

"Eh, Chouji, slow down. You'll eat soon enough." He put his menu down and began to place his napkin in his shirt creating a bib, and got his Hashis handy. Ino picked up both of hers, and put them in front of her mouth. She smiled devilishly behind them, making Shikamaru startle.

"What?" He said calmly. There have to be a perfect explanation for this, the Nara boy thought. Why else Ino would look at him that way?

The blonde girl kept on smiling and smiling until her grin was ear to ear. She tapped her foot on the wooden floor, thumping a beat in 4 notes.

"There's a rumor going on these days saying that you have a lover, Shikamaru." the teen was taken back a the comment. He looked away pouting in disgust and folded his arms.

"You actually believe in hypocritical rumors?"

"Hmm, I wonder if its true..." Ino said ignoring Shikamaru reply. She leaned in peering over table with her eyes looming at the other teen. Her eyes then narrowed so tiny, that you can barely make out her blue-green eyes. She chuckled to her self and flopped back in her seat. She crossed her legs, putting on arm on the back of the seat. She smiled that devilish smile again and closed her eyes looking from the opposite direction from the window.

"Whom ever you with, it seems that..." She paused. "You're the Uke." Chouji broke his chopsticks at the same time Shikamaru choked on his own saliva.

"Whaa? Shikamaru, you're the Uke?"

"No!" the Nara clan teen snapped.

"Yes, he is!" Ino sang back. "Its written all over your face!" At this, Chouji gazed at Shikamaru for a bit before his he closed his eyes happily.

"I can see it too."

"Chouji!" The blonde haired girl burst out laughing in a ear screeching tone. She held her stomach and wiped her eyes with the back of her soft hand.

"This is too great!" She said, laughing some more. "I'm so glad that I have this woman intuition." The shadow teen felt heat rising up to his cheeks. Whether it showed or not, he really didn't care at the moment. Chouji bit back a laugh while Ino was still going at it.

"You know, Shikamaru, you may think smart and act smart, but you're really not that smart if you can't hide your face." She said giggling. Her laughing manage to stop after a few 'hee hee' and 'tee hee'. She placed her finger on her chin, tapping it thoughtfully.

"I wonder who it is..." she said out loud. Her lips curved upwards as an idea popped up in her mind like a child's game.

/I will find out who Shikamaru is seeing. As a teammate, its my duty. I'm demanding to know, even it is the hard way.../

Meanwhile, Shikamaru was thinking a way to be more possessive around Neji and many other things. But, he need help from a 'little' someone...
