The Wedding.

After dating, fighting, breaking up and redating for a couple of years, Shikamaru finally asked Ino to consider on marrying him. Ino was speechless, but happy. But at the same time she was unsure of herself. So she went to consult SaHinaTen.

"Guess what you guys?" Ino perked up.

"What Ino-pig?" Sakura rolled her eyes.

"Shikamaru, ask me, ME! Yamanaka Ino!"

"I think we all know your name Ino." Tenten joked in a sing song voice.

Ino glared at her and containued, "He wants me to marry him!"

Hinata gasped of happiness for Ino while Tenten and Sakura just scoffed.

"What's with the scoffing?" Ino looked suspiciously at her other two friends.

"It's just that Ino..."Tenten began.

"..IT WAS SO FREAKIN OBVIOUS!" Sakura finished.

"It was?" Ino was dumbfounded. Could Shikamaru's love be that obvious?

"Pfft, yeah! Have you seen him acting around you? That boy's got the hots for you ages ago!" Tenten laughed.

"..So should I say yes?"

"You mean you haven't said yes yet?" Sakura's eyes bulged.

"Ino-chan, if you truly care about Shikamaru no matter in what situation then you're in love with him." Hinata told her.

"Ino other words Ino, you should become Mrs.Nara." Tenten and Sakura said together making Ino blush as red as when Hinata blushes.

Mean while at Naruto's apartment...

Shikamaru just told Lee and Naruto that he asked Ino to marry him and he'd given her sometime to think, but he wasn't sure if he'll be rejected.

"..So will she say yes?" Shikamaru wondered.

"If you believe all those years of dating and how she loves you then yes! Youthful love shall never be rejected!" Naruto gave a serious speech. "...OMG! I'm starting to talk like Lee-san!" Naruto gasped while Lee gave him his good guy pose.

Shikamaru, why did you ask these two idiots to help you? But...Naruto's right though. Ew...Naruto's actually right!

"Er..thanks Naruto, thanks Lee. I gotta go home now."

"Bye Shikamaru!" Naruto waved.

"Goodluck buddy!" Lee wished.

Shikamaru walked home thinking and wishing what would his life be like if Konoha's most talented kunoichi became his wife? Not to mention the most beautiful. Well, that is, if Ino would say yes. Soon, just as he entered the door the phone rang.

"Honey, get the phone will you?" pleaded his mom.

"Yeah mom." Shikamaru answered reaching for the blue portable phone.

"Heeeellloo." He lazily greeted.

"Shikamaru?" said a voice. Omg! It's Ino!

"Oh Ino, hi."

"Um...Shikamaru I love you and I want to be married to you and become Mrs.Nara. Bye!" Ino nervously answered and hung up.

She said yes...YES!

Shikamaru felt like he could leap up into the air and hug Naruto and Lee for being right! He felt sooo alive! Imideatly he called Lee, Naruto, and Neji to help him plan the wedding. And he sent invites to all the jounins, rookie nine, and the hokage to the wedding. For once, he wasn't a lazy ass anymore! He felt like crushing Ino into a great embrace...but it wasn't a very good idea to crush his bride.

Luckily the wedding was coming very soon because Shikamaru and Ino both could sleep nor eat! Especially at the night before the wedding! Ino couldn't wait to wear the wedding gown that Hinata and Tenten picked for her, she couldn't wait to become Ino Y. Nara, and she could wait for the moment when Sakura would spread cherry blossoms infront of her and Shikamaru. But both of them couldn't wait to say "I do".

The next morning Ino got up as early as she could at Sakura's house while Lee had to punch Shikamaru to make him wake up. The four friends all headed to the assembly hall where the ceremony is supposed to be held then the bride and groom went to get ready.

"Oh Sakura, I can't wait!" Ino sighed happily as she spun around in her white wedding gown.

"Okay okay, I know you can't wait but just stay still! Your dress decorations are completely ready yet!" Sakura complained at Ino threatening to stab her with her sowing needle if she doesn't stay still.

When the dress was finally finished, Sakura let out a heavy sigh and told Ino, "Don't worry, Tenten will be sitting beside Neji in the front row, Hinata and Naruto will do the same. So all of us will be there for you."

Ino smiled with great confidence. She couldn't wait to be with Shikamaru forever and having Sakura spreading cherry blossoms infront of her and Shika.

Mean while Shikamaru looked very stunning in his black tux. He even let his smooth hair down for once! Lee over-obsessively complimented Shikamaru on how good Ino will think he'll look and posed many times of his good guy pose.

Soon the wedding was going to be starting and Shikamaru was finally going to see Ino again after all this preperation! When the two met eyes with each other, both were stunned by how good each other looked. Ino was like a gorgeous golden haired goddess with the more vibrant smile and Shikamaru looked unbelievably handsome in his tux with his muscular built.

Hehe, after today Ino will be my wife!

Shikamaru smiled at Ino.

Wow, Shikamaru looks sooo good! Mmm!

Ino winked back.

Lee looked from Ino to Shikamaru and back, "Okay people! You can have your romances AFTER the wedding! The youthful show must go on!" Sakura just giggled at Lee.

Coming outside to the runway, everyone that was invited came. Naruto, Hinata, Tenten, Neji, Kiba & Akamaru, Shino, Gai, Kakashi, Asuma & Kurenai, Shizune, Anko, Ebisu, Tsunadae, Jiraiya, and even Tonton came! Boi!

The "I do" and the wedding past by happily in a flash, Shikamaru carried the lovely Mrs.Nara in his arms and got in their new house supported by the Yamanakas and the Naras. They had a great chat together, a great dinner together, and a wonderful night together...ahem you know what I mean. And best of all, they were together. Always will be so don't expect Shika and Ino to split at all!
