Broken Memory
"Hey Shikato!"
"Hey Inoishi!"
"Come in, let's play Go and drink some sake!"
"Sure."
The two old man got inside the Yamanaka household and started their game.
"Hey, Inoishi! Don't you think that our kids should be dating?"
"Yeah man! When my Ino was born, I just knew that she was made for Shikamaru."
Shikato nodded.
"I wonder what's taking them so long! They're already 17!"
"Yeah!"
The door swung open. Ino and Shikamaru entered.
"Hi dad! Shikato-san."
"Yo pops. Inoishi-san."
"Hi kids." they replied.
Then it hit them.
"What are you doing together?"
Ino looked at her father strangely.
"Erm... we were walking..."
"Together?"
"Yeah..."
"So... you're dating?" Shikato asked.
"Ino and Shikamaru sweat dropped.
"Yeah dad."
"For how long?" The old man Nara asked.
"Erm... about a year or so..." Ino replied.
"A year? Why didn't you tell us?"
"But we did dad!" Shikamaru answered.
"You did?"
Shikato and Inoishi were confused.
"Yeah... you two made a party remember? Invited the whole town in and drank till you couldn't..."
"Oh..." the two elders replied. "Well there's the problem... we drank... a lot..."
They both laughed nervously.
"Well my good friend Shikato, now that we know our children are together, why don't we celebrate?"
"You're right!"
They raised their sakes and drank, filling the cup again.
Shikamaru shook his head. Ino sighed.
"They won't remember this tomorrow..."
Shikamaru agreed.
"Well... we'll just have to remind them again. But for now..." He kissed Ino on the lips. "Let me remind you..."
She gigled. He smirked.
