Zeus and Io Love Affair

Content: Hetero pairings/ love triangle. Hints of sexual behavior. sticks out tongue Swearing

Shikamaru: Zeus, God of thunder/ Lord of all gods OOC

Ino: Io, mortal (instead of being turned into a cow, she's turned into a boar)

Temari: Hera, Goddess of marriage/ Zeus's wife

Naruto: Hermes, God of mischief/ "son" of Zeus (he'll be a friend in this fic)

Neji: Argus, servant to Hera/ one who guards Io (he may not have 1000 eyes on his body, but he has good sight!)

As Shikamaru looks down from a tower in Konoha, he spies a beautiful maiden with pale skin and a charming body. It was love at first site. Even though he was the strongest of all the gods, he always had had a weakness for women, this one was no exception. Her name was Ino.

He decided to go down to express his love ( cough cough) in the shape of a storm cloud since he couldn't show his true and divine self to mortals.

On another note, Zeus's wife who went by the name Temari was aware of her hubby's cough behavior and knew he was up to something dirty. It wasn't to hard to find him as there was only one thunderous cloud covering one spot on a cloudless day. She went down to see what Shikamaru was doing.

Sensing his wife coming close, Shikamaru quickly changes the lovely Ino as a boar. Temari comes down and asks him what he's doing.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOUR DOING!"

"Uh…." The lord sweats as he tries to think up an explanation. "I…found, yeah that's it found, this boar and was going to give it to you as a gift."

Temari, knowing exactly well what he actually did decided to play along, "Really? Since it's suppose to be a gift to me, why don't I take it."

Knowing he could do nothing against his wife's wrath, Shikamaru lets her have Ino. In no time, Temari ties Ino up to a tree in her private garden and ordered one of her most loyal guards to watch the maiden-turned-beast 24/7.

This guard was Neji of the byakugan. With immense chakra in his eyes, he was able to sleep with only one eye closed and the other open. Continuously, he watched the girl no matter how boring it was.

Days past as Neji watched. Shikamaru felt unnerved and summoned his friend Naruto for help. Agreeing, the happy-go-lucky god goes off to accomplish his mission.

Naruto speedily ran to Temari's garden and found the eye sore (pun intended) sitting next to the boar. Grinning his fox like grin, Naruto sits next to Neji and starts drawling on about ramen.

Slowly, but surely, Neji's eyes close from listening to the boring stories the god told about the noodles. He then fell asleep. The god of mischief quickly kills Neji and sets Ino free down in Konoha still in boar form.

The jealous goddess heard of this and sent a gadfly to continuously sting the poor girl.

"Hey you! The one with the sunglasses and bug infestation." She points to Shino. "Go send some bugs on the boar now!" Shino does as he is told.

With the terrible pain on her rump, Ino runs across the world trying to escape the gadfly's sting. She finally fell in exhaustion in a sandy country. Shikamaru was so worried that he gave up his dignity and did the thing he could only do to appease Temari. Beg.

"Please!" "No." "Please!" "No!" "Pleeeeeaaaaaase!" By this time Shikamaru was in tears. Temari smirked, "Fine. But you can never see her again!" The "faithful" husband agreed and the forgiving wife stops the bug (ordered Shino to do it) and returned Ino back to gorgeous self.

From then on, Shikamaru kept his promise to never see Ino again, Temari was feeling normal again, Neji, sadly, was dead, and Naruto got off the hook for Neji's murder. What happened to Ino? She became the queen of the place she was pursued by the gadfly, Sunagakure. Everyone was in awe of her pale skin, which was never seen, and made her their queen until she died happily.

THE END
