Darn that, Shikamaru!He left me, now how could I set my trap easily?DARN IT!Where's he?

Ino is searching for Shikamaru, but failed.

She searched everywhere...but found nothing...nothing at all!

Shika-kun...where are you?

But then when she felt really hopeless she found what she's looking for!

Shika!

But...she saw another one.One that she doesn't expect with her Shikama-...I mean, Shikamaru.

Sakura?

Then her heart was clouded, her soul was devastated, her spirit was tortured!Her beloved Shi-...I mean, Shikamaru is...

flirting?

"Sakura...you're so beautiful, you're so sweet you're so...loveable"

When Ino overheard this conversation...her heartached, her stomach felt like there were butterflies in it, her knees are weakening.She looked down with her wide eyes, her hair covering most of her face.Trying to hide her tearful eyes.When...

"Ino?"

When Ino heard her name, her tears stopped, and she waited for the tears to be unnoticeable.When her eyes were normal.She looked at the two, trying to hide the sadness in her eyes.

"...hello Sakura-chan...Hello Shika-..san" Ino said, she can't control herself, she felt anger.She empahasized the word '-san.'Meanwhile, Shikamaru can't help himself.He even can't hide the shock in his eyes.His eyes represent depression, sadness, downness, regret.

"Is there something wrong, Ino-chan?"

"...No...I'm fine..."

The two wondered...what's with each other?First, Ino-CHAN, not Ino-PIG; Next Sakura-CHAN, not Sakura-FOREHEAD.

Silence occurs, only the wind blowing off the dried leaves can be heard.Then...Ino tried to spring her trap.

"Sakura-forehead..." Ino said, trying to get her 'no-longer-enemy' to not suspect a thing.

"Sasuke-sa-...Sasuke-kun is waiting for you at the Cherry Blossoms."

"...GREAT!I'll go there now to greet MY Sasuke-kun!"

"NO!HE'S MINE, SAKURA-FOREHEAD!JUST WAIT!"

The two acted.They're VERY good actresses.You see...they are both acting.Ino is pretending to be jealous.Sakura is pretending to be anxious...And as for shikamaru...he's flirting with Sakura...That way...Ino can get Sasuke without a fight.

Sakura left.And the two are left alone.All ALONE.

When Shikamaru's about to leave, Ino did an unexpected thing.

grabbed his wrist?

Shikamaru looked back with confusion.His heart beated faster...and faster...and faster!

"Don't leave yet..."

Ino really meant this time.She wants him to stay.PLUS, she noticed that Shikamaru has feelings for Sakura.(But not really!HE's acting!)

"And why's that?"

"Because...because...I'm jealous!" Ino said this...not thinking, she just said what the first thing that popped out of her head.

And with this...he's...surprised, shocked...but at the same time...happy.

"...What did you say?"

"...I said. I. am. jealous." Ino repeated.

Does this mean Ino likes me?Like?LIKE?YAY!...oh wait...Damn troublesome mind!...hmm...Maybe she really DOES like you...wait...ohh...I get it!

"Your jealous because of Sakura and you need my help to get Sasuke back?"

With this, Ino is both frustrated and happy.Why?She's getting frustrated because Shikamaru didn't get it, but the other half, she's happy because Shikamaru didn't get it.She can runaway!

"You know what Ino...I won't help you."

"..oh...it's okay..." Ino managed to smile, which made Shikamaru impressed

Impressive

Shikamaru walked away, as he walked the opposite way where Sakura went, Ino was relieved in two ways!One...because, she managed to not let Shikamaru FOIL her plan, and two...because...Shikamaru is not near Sakura anymore.

Meanwhile,

At the Cherry Blossoms, Sakura saw Sasuke leaning at a tree.

Goodbye...Sasuke-ku-...Sasuke-san.

"Sasuke..."

with the mention of his name he opened an eye, only to see dark ,emerald, innocent ones.

"What do you want?" he asked coldly, while closing his eye.

Sasuke could here Sakura sigh.

"Sasuke-...I would like you to..."

"I don't take orders..."

Sakura got pissed off, for the first time in her life she let her innerself took over.She pushed his shoulders, which made him lose balance and really flattened her back at the tree, his eyes widened seeing those dark, and cold eyes.

"NOW LISTEN HERE, YOU BASTARD!I TALK AND YOU LISTEN GOOD, OKAY!"

She shook Sasuke as she talked, "I ORDER AND YOU OBEY!I WANT YOU TO FORGET ABOUT ME!FORGET!FORGET THAT I LIKE YOU, FORGET THAT I'M A FAN OF YOURS, FORGET THAT I EVEN LIKED YOU!I WANT YOU TO TAKE INO!MAKE HER HAPPY!GOT IT!"

Sasuke stood there, seeing Sakura threatening him.His eyes are wide with shock.Then, he stared at those amazing eyes, full of determination, full of power and might.

Then...he watchd as those eyes turned to the innocent and soft ones.She let her hand slid down and came back at her sides.(iA-yOh: What I mean here is, her hands got down so quick that it brushed itself against Sasuke.Don't get any bad ideas!)

"Please, Sasuke, I just want to-...to make Ino happy."

So she's the one that is giving up...guess I have to start with her!

Sakura?It's Sakura!YAY!GOOD!I KNEW IT!

Shut up, you annoying innerself!

...okay...

I said, SHUT THE HELL UP!

No you didn't!You said, 'Shut up!' not 'Shut the hell up!'

JUST SHUT IT!

He didn't notice, Sakura already left.

No to start my plan...Plan A, Section I, The Hooking up, START!

Ino was looking at a scroll with her plans in it.

She made 16 scrolls about her plans, you know!

Oh wait...this will not work!With Sakura-chan's intelligence, plus, Sasuke-san's sense...They'll SURELY catch what I'm up to!

She crumpled the scroll and threw it at a nearby trash can along with the other 15 scrolls she made then she burned it by placing a match.

FOOM!

Ino's plans was burned, Ino's useless plan!

Damn troubleso-...Shit!I'm being like Shikamaru...Shikamaru...

The name she just mentioned...it kept on echoing in her head and her heart beated FASTER AND RAPIDLY!

What am I gonna do?I NEED SHIKAMARU'S PLAN ON THIS!Or better yet, a SMART person!...How 'bout Naruto?EEW!NO WAY!He won't understand me at all!...Neji?Nah, too busy!Tenten...nah!too busy...Hinata?...nah too shy!...Temari?WAIT, am I OUT OF MY MIND?She'll rather kill me!...Same with her sibs...Tsunade-sama!YES!...wait...I can't do that!She'll NEVER help me!She doesn't want to!She thinks I'm a fan of Sasuke-san!...guess I have to-...wait...HIBANA!...uhh..no...she might be busy matchmaking, and also Kyoko...I GOT IT!

Ino got in a familiar place, a place with no other people in it!Just one.

"MITOSHI!MITOSHI!" Ino banged at the door of an apartment, then she can hear sounds,

CLANG CLANG!

"OWW!"

CLANG CLANG!

TWANGWANGWANG!

FLIP FLIP FLIP!

"OW!DARN!stupid frying pan."

FWOOSH!BRUSH BRSH..

SHOE!SHOVE!SHOVE!

CLANG CLANG CLANG!

"URGH...DAMN IT!"

SHOVE SHOVE SHOVE!

CLANG CLANG CLANG!

TONGK TONGK TONGK!

Then, she heard loud footsteps heading at the door.

BANG!

something(more like somebody) banged itself at the door with quickness.

CLICK

CLICKA

ZHAK!

THZOK ZHOK!

CLICK!

CLICKA!

ZHAK ZHAK!

ZHOK!

CLICK

CLIK

CLIK

CLIKA!

Then the door opened, showing a cute face of a girl.She looked tired.

"Oh-hi, Ino!What got you here?"

"I need to ask you a favor, Mitoshi-chan!"

"...okay...come on in!" Mitoshi opened the door wide and stepped back, signalling Ino to come in.

Ino sweatdropped, she just heard a while ago pans and pots.Now it's shiny and glittering.

She looked back at the wall, to see LOTS of locks!

So that explains the lock sounds!

Padlocks, chains and EVERYTHING!Mitoshi noticed Ino staring so she called her attention,

"You might want to-..ah...sit down for a while!"

Ino looked back to Mitoshi as she sat down a pink couch.Which was odd.

Her whole apartment is in shades of black and her things are in pink!

Then, Ino noticed the kitchen, it has PANS, POTS, PLATES, GLASSES, TABLES, CHAIRS AND EVERYTHING SCATTERED!

ANDthat explains the shoving sounds...

Ino sweatdropped...When Mitoshi noticed she moved herself to Ino's view and smiled big, and her hand straghtened and held the door.Then...

BANG!

She banged the door hard.You could tell she's furious about herself for being untidy!And a picture from hanged at the wall fell down because of the force Mitoshi applied at the door.She slighty moved her shoulders from shocked but continued to smile big as a vein appeared at her forehead.

Mitoshi looks just the same...almost...She's wearing a pink sleeveless top with full sleeved fishnet over it.She's wearing pink knickers with black THIN stripes, that looks liek a fishnet.And she's wearing black sandals with heels and pink outlines.And her hair is tied in a ponytail.

"Where are you off to?" Ino's really curious.Her looks changed...A BIT.

"oh...I've gotta spar-date with Gaara-san!"

"oh?With thsoe high heels?"

"eh...that's my balance test!"

"oh..."

Guess she's busy...

"So...what do you want?"

"...nothing..."

And Ino left.

sigh...It's all up to me now...I gotta THINK BIG!


Then...

"Kiba-kun!Are you sure this is the right way?We're going in circles!"

"No we aren't!"

"Yes we are!"

"No we aren't!"

"Yes we are!"

"No we aren't!"

"Yes we are!"

"No we aren't"

"Yes we are!"

"No we aren-..."

But, before they can continue and got theirselves to another 'We-argue-then-in-a-few-minutes-or-seconds-everything's-back-to-normal', Ino interrupted.

"Hey guys!"

"Oh, Hello Ino-chan!"

"Hello, Yamanaka"

They greeted, then they glared at each other.

Eyes of Hibana: Kiba, be nice!

Eyes of Kiba: And what if I don't?

Eyes of Hibana: If you don't I'm gonna kill you!

Eyes of Kiba: yeah right!like you can do that!

Eyes of Hibana: WHY YOU-...fine!be that way!

And with those kinds of glares they both looked away from each other.Ino sweatdropped.

Why are they always like this?

Ino sighed, as she rubbed her temple, "uhm..you guys busy?"

the two looked at each other, then they faced Ino and answered the same reply, "no"

Ino grinned at this.Now she has a good in Genjutsu and Ninjutsu gal in her front, and she have a skilled matchmaker!In short, she has infront of her, A master in matchmaking and an apprentice!(iA-yOh: In MY story, Hibana and Kiba are matchmakers!Hibana taught him!)
