LHJ: Man, I've been busy this week. Wednesday, I went to Universal Studios, Friday, I went to Disneyland for 12 hours, and I had a basketball game today, which is Saturday. Now I'm writing this chapter because I have a few ideas about continuing from what happened last chapter (Shikamaru being hurt by Ino). So, this chapter will NOT have a sub-story and yeah… that's all I have to say. I'm sorry if you wanted one, but I don't have much time to write this.

The loud boar (Ino): Soo, this chapter is about us?

LHJ: uh, yeah.

The lazy deer (Shikamaru): how troublesome.

LHJ: Hmm. I haven't had you say that phrase that much.

The fat butterfly (Chouji): (is happily eating potato chips)

LHJ: uuuuuhhhh. Can I have some chips?

Fat butterfly: NOO! THESE ARE MINE!

LHJ: ….

Lazy deer: can I have some?

Fat butterfly: sure!

LHJ: Hey! You ju…

Fat butterfly: NOOOOO!

Loud boar: Can I have some too?

Fat butterfly: Of course!

LHJ: THAT'S IT! CHOUJI! YOU'RE NOT IN THIS FANFIC ANYMORE!

Fat butterfly: eep! Uhh here! (Hands me some chips)

LHJ: (snatches chip bag) You don't need these fatass!

Fat butterfly: (suddenly turns into Cartman) You know what! I don't need this abuse! Screw you guys, I'm going home!

LHJ: Oo. Anyways… Shikamaru, Disclaimer. NAO!

Lazy deer: ugh, how troublesome. Longhairedjuice doesn't own Naruto, but if he did I would be sleeping right now.

LHJ: Ah good enough.

-------------------------------------------------Drama!----------------------------------------------

Last time on this fanfic, Shikamaru was hurt because of Ino's What-if question. Now he ran off and Ino can't find him. Now, we go to her receiving comfort from her friends, mainly the girls anyways, and they want to do something.

"Sob, It's a-a-all my f-fault," sobbed Ino. If you haven't noticed, she is crying her eyes out. "He p-probably thought I-I was l-lying when I told him I l-love him! Oh I'm such an Idiot! I don't know much about love! I was being a jerk!" While she kept putting herself down and the other girls saying "No you're not!" or "That's not true," Chouji managed to sneak out and search for Shikamaru, but it wasn't too hard since he knew where he would be. He went to the biggest tree in the park and found Shikamaru staring at the clouds sitting against the tree. He looked sadder than he's ever been.

"I thought I'd find you here," said Chouji.

He took a while to reply. "Go away. I don't care about Ino anymore." Said Shikamaru with a monotone voice. It had a hint of sadness, but not enough for Chouji to notice. Ino might, but not Chouji.

"She still cares about you. She's crying a river over you."

"I don't care. She's sorry because she's inconsiderate or she just wants to play with my heart and she put on this disguise."

"Wow, you're a genius and you can't tell that she loves you." He shifted slightly to a comfortable position.

"Shut up Chouji. Don't be troublesome. Just leave."

"hmph that's your problem," he crossed his arms. "You're too lazy to do anything and you don't want to make things better (or worse but that would be bad, wouldn't it?)

"I said leave." Shikamaru's voice became agitated.

"Fine" Chouji turned and headed back to the lab. Shikamaru sighed and said something.

"Chouji. Tell her that I'm breaking up with her so she can have someone batter than me. I don't deserve her anymore," Chouji's eyes widened and stopped dead in his tracks.

"You can't be serious. She's going to take this really seriously."

"I know. Also tell her I don't deserve her and she's better off with another man than a lazy bastard," He paused and sighed. "Also tell her I hope she'll get someone better than me." Shikamaru got up and left. Chouji stood there for a few seconds and headed back.

Back at the lab, Ino was still crying, but now it was worse. Now some of the boys were trying to comfort her. Nagoya just stood there drinking some beer (Yeah not sake). Chouji then opened the door and everyone turned to face him.

"Did you see Shikamaru?" Said Sakura while holding a crying Ino. Chouji nodded. "What did he say?"

"Well…" He started scratching the back of his head the same way Naruto would except not in a happy way. "He said he thought you were inconsiderate and you were just playing with his heart."

"It's not true!" Yelled Ino.

"He told me to leave and not make things troublesome, but I told him that he was too lazy and didn't bother to make things better." He then paused and looked at Ino, who was tear stained. "I was about to leave when he stopped me. He said that he doesn't deserve you anymore."

'No,' Ino thought.

"He said that he didn't treat you right"

'No,' Ino thought again.

"He said he…" Chouji swallowed a lump in his throat. "He wanted to break up with you."

Those words pierced her heart like a kunai. She never saw this coming. She knew he was hurt, but she didn't know it hurt him this much. Their relation ship was practically perfect. It was possibly the best one out of the group. 'Shika-kun' She started crying again, except it was a lot louder than before. It was so loud, all of Konoha and the Suna can hear it. Speaking of Suna…

Gaara was standing on the balcony of his palace. He was staring at his village, since he was the kazekage. Suddenly he heard something. It sounded like a crying noise. It didn't sound too important to the village, so he just let it go. He then turned around facing the window to the entrance.

"Is the hot tub ready?" asked Gaara.

"Mmmh. Yes it Gaara-kun," said a girl with a sexy voice. She then walked outside in a skimp two-piece. "Come on in. It's empty without you in it."

Gaara smirked and walked to the hot tub. They both got in and took off they're clothes.

Back at the lab, Ino was still crying after an hour and had no signs of stopping. Everyone was now worried. Even Neji and Sasuke had a worried look, but they weren't thinking what everyone was thinking. 'When the hell is she gonna stop. Seriously, she's worse than a banshee!' the two thought. Nagoya even looked worried. He then stepped in. He gave out a fake cough to get they're attention.

"I'll continue this test tomorrow. Maybe you guys can figure this out. Be here by three and we'll start again. You guys can leave now." They all nodded, got up, and went out of the door to the outside.

Ino and Sakura decided to go walk around and get Ino calm again. The crying didn't have any hints of stopping. Sakura was running out of ideas on how to make her stop. Once, she made it worse, but managed to bring it back to how it started.

"Look. Shikamaru probably wanted you to have a better life and didn't want to you to be disappointed by having him in the future. He probably thought his laziness would get you angry." Said Sakura, now getting desperate in trying to make her stop crying.

"I-I was used to his l-l-laziness now. Anyways, I o-only loved him a-a-and only him. Sasuke-e was just a s-s-simple crush. H-h-h-he was the only o-one I loved," said Ino sobbing. They continued walking until they somehow got to Shikamaru's house.

"Why don't we talk to him and work things out?" asked Sakura. Ino nodded slowly. They went up to his front door and Sakura knocked. No answer. Sakura knocked again except it was louder. Still no answer. She tried again, except she shouted, "Shikamaru! It's Ino and Sakura. We want to talk to you!" She kept pounding the door for a few seconds. They waited for a few minutes until they decided that he wasn't there.

"Why don't we go shopping? That should get your mind off of him," asked Sakura.

"Nothing's going to make me forgot Shika-kun." She was now somewhat pale.

"Well we can't keep crying can't we" She said with a happy tone.

"Shut up Sakura." Sakura groaned and dragged Ino to the mall.

Shikamaru was in his room sitting on his bed. He sighed. 'Ino is pretty and strong. She deserves better than a lazy asshole than me.' His thoughts were interrupted by a knock. He didn't feel like company right now, so he just let it go. There was a knock again only it was louder. He didn't answer it. Then the knocks came back, except it was a pounding. There was also yelling. "Shikamaru! It's Ino and Sakura. We want to talk to you!" He didn't really want to see Ino right now. He just sat on his bed trying to think, put the poundings kept going. Once they stopped, he sighed quietly and continued thinking. After a while, he decided to ask this one girl who had an eye on him and give her a try. He picked up the phone and punched in some numbers. It rang and a girl picked it up.

"Hey. Who's this?" said the girl.

"It's Shikamaru," he replied.

"Oh hey what's up?"

"Well, my girlfriend and I broke."

"Oh! You and Ino I'm so sorry."

"Thanks. Hey, do you want to go out with me?"

"Of course I would! When?"

"How about now?"

"How?"

"The jutsu of yours."

"Oh yeah. I'll see you at the mall in about an hour then."

"Okay, sounds good."

"Bye"

"Bye"

They both hung up.

Ino and Sakura were shopping at the mall. Ino stopped crying when they got there and Sakura sighed once she stopped. Ino was still obviously sad and her head was hanging down. Sakura was still worried that she might hurt herself physically is she kept up like this.

"You know, it's not good to be sad all the time," said Sakura.

"I don't care. Without Shika-kun, I just don't feel whole." Her voice was quieter than usual. Sakura sighed.

"Fine. If you get hurt from this, don't come to me then." They kept walking until Sakura felt hungry. "Let's go get something to eat." Ino nodded. They both got to the food court a few minutes later and went to a place where they sold sandwiches and ordered some. When they got their food, they went upstairs to find a quieter table. Once they got upstairs, their eyes widened. Ino dropped her food and ran back downstairs to the bathroom. Sakura ran after her.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT ASSHOLE! WE BREAK UP AND HE GOES WITH ANOTHER DATE!" Yelled Ino. Once people inside heard her yelling, they all quickly walked out of the bathroom.

"He's probably just friends with her and she was in town," Sakura tried to comfort her, but she knew it was true. She was crying again, but you can hear some hints of anger in it.

"Sakura, you know that they're on a date. Don't comfort me with those stuff." Said Ino, kind of pissed off. Sakura knew that nothing would help her now after what seeing Shikamaru and another girl kissing. "Do you think he was cheating on me or something?"

"No way! Your relationship was the best of the group. This is probably the only bad thing in your relationship."

"Yeah still. I can't believe he was with…

---------------------So much frickin drama. It's the OC or Laguna Beach-----------------------

LHJ: Ha! Cliffhanger! Noone can suspect who it was! Okay maybe they can. Anyways, I'm sorry for not putting in any sub-stories in this chapter. I had a mental block for then and had better ideas for Ino and Shikamaru. Well anyways, does anyone of your guys have anything to say?

….

Anyone?

….

Hello?

Kiba: No. We're just anxious on what happens next.

LHJ: Oh. Well, Reviews people. I would love them! On a side note, I lied that updates would not be up until Tuesday. Now it's time to hit the sack.
