Maybe I Was Stupid

by Everlite

Mostly letter fic! When Ino and Shikamaru just hit it off again after many years of no association, it just takes one event to tear it apart. How far will each one go to fix it?

7. How Great Am I?

Dear Temari,

Thanks for the help, Temari. As you may know, I am not all that experienced when it comes to the female feelings. But now I have a pretty good idea about what to do. You see, I wrote Ino an anonymous note and put it in her door slot the other day. She's sure to have picked it up. It just says, "Meet me at the park on Friday." I was sure not use my own handwriting or my name, as I don't want her knowing it's me at the moment. But she will when she comes to the park, oblivious as to who exactly she is meeting. Then hopefully, I can really make it up to her.

Your devious minded friend,

Shikamaru

PS…What do you mean he loved it? What kind of guy is this, may I ask, to love a pottery rose that shines in the light?

STOP! Keep that curser AWAY from the "submit review" box! Before you begin to ridicule Shika's letter, read the next chappie.
