Omg I'm so sorry that it took me so long to update. I'm happy though, my tests went way better than expected. Well, I haven't gotten the scores back, but they were easier than I thought. I was also able to get a lot of writing done. Ok well here's the next chapter. (it's sad, I have no idea what chapter I'm on.) oh well.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. If I did, it would take me my whole life time to get just the first season done. Heck I can barely update my own fanfiction fast enough.
Ino saw Shino at the exact spot that she had told him to meet her at. She looked around and saw Shikamaru with Temari hanging all over him. She walked right by him making sure that he noticed her. Then she jumped on Shino giggling loudly.
Believe me, Shikamaru sure noticed. His blood was boiling just seeing Ino with him. He watched as Ino just flirted with Shino.
"Hold on a second." He told Temari. He made his way to Ino and Shino. "Since when have you two been an item?"
"I don't really know. It just kinda happened." Ino told him.
With that Shikamaru walked away.
Shikamaru gathered up some of his closest friends and took them behind the school. His friends didn't bother asking what he needed. The witnessed the whole thing and knew what he was about to say.
"You guys have known that I've liked Ino for some time now, and now I can't just sit back and watch Shino be with Ino." Shikamaru told his friends.
"Well, why not make her jealous?" Neji offered.
"Does jealousy really work?" Shikamaru asked.
"Of Course!" Naruto yelled.
"How would you know, you and Hinata STILL haven't gotten together yet." Sasuke told his friend.
"So…I still know it works…" Naruto sulked.
"Don't worry Shikamaru, how else do you think that I got Tenten?" Neji reassured his friend.
"I thought you got her because you pushed her up against a locker and started licking her face off." Shikamaru shot back, scrunching his face at the thought of it.
"That was after all the jealousy and I told her how I really felt." Neji said while turning a very deep shade of crimson.
"Whatever, but what about Temari?" Shikamaru asked.
"Use the wretch! You don't like her anyway." Sasuke reminded his friend.
"Ok, thanks guys." Shikamaru said and walked off.
"Good luck." Said his friends.
Shikamaru and Ino had both already gone to their first block. They were both on their way to Health class. Ino was the first to walk into the classroom, Shikamaru followed soon after.
"Hi." Ino said.
"What's up?" Shikamaru asked.
"Nothing. You?" She said in a perky voice.
"Nothing." He said.
"How's life with Temari?" Ino asked.
"Good. What about you and Shino?" Shikamaru asked with a hint of jealousy.
"Pretty good. He's so sweet! We're going to the movies tonight." Ino said.
"Really, well Temari and I are going to the movies too. She's so-" Shikamaru was cut off by a person who walked in the door.
"Shikamaru, I need to talk to you." Said the teacher.
"What'd you do now?" Ino asked nosily.
Shikamaru sighed and walked over to the teacher. Ino watched as the teacher handed him a piece of paper. Shikamaru walked back to his desk after thanking the teacher.
"So what was that about?" Ino asked.
"I got my schedule changed." He handed Ino his schedule. He kept looking at her, trying to see what she's thinking. After some time of Ino looking over his schedule, she finally said something.
"You have all of my classes now, except for my first block." She said in disbelief.
(A/N: I totally forgot if I gave her a 6 block schedule or a 4 block…oh well from this point on Ino now has a 4 block schedule.)
"Is that a bad thing?" He asked.
"Well, kinda." She replied.
"Why" He asked, trying to get a rise out of her.
"It just is. Shino might get jealous." Ino said lying through her teeth.
"Why, cause you're going to be with me?" He said in a husky voice.
Ino blushed lightly, "I'm not the one who'd be getting jealous, so ask him!"
"Whatever." Shikamaru said trying to drop that conversation. "So Asuma teaches molecular biology?"
"Yup."
"What's he like?" Shikamaru asked trying to keep a conversation going.
"Well, he's kinda annoying, he's tall, has black hair, normally smoking when not teaching, has a black beard, and is normally talking about Kurenai." Ino explained.
"Interesting." Shikamaru said.
Ino and Shikamaru went most of the class having small talk. It was awkward for the both of them.
Finally the end of the block came and the bell rang.
"Can you take me to class? I have no idea where the room is." Shikamaru asked.
"Sure." Ino said. She grabbed her things and began to walk out of the door. Shikamaru followed after her.
'Man does she look hot.' He thought. 'Why does she have to be going out with Shino.'
"Are you ok?" Ino asked. "You just look flustered."
"No, I'm fine." He smiled.
"Ok, well, here's our class." Ino told him.
"Hey look, Sasuke and Neji are in this class too!" He exclaimed.
"And so is Shino!" She squealed as she ran over to him.
'Wonderful, he's here too.' Shikamaru thought sarcastically.
Ino sat by all her friends. Sakura and Hinata sat in front of her, Tenten and Kagome sat behind her, and Shino was her lab partner.
Before class, Ino had a talk with Asuma about her plan. You see, secretly Asuma wanted Shikamaru and Ino to get together, so that's why he kept his mouth shut when he saw Ino hanging all over Shino.
Asuma sat Shikamaru by Ino. The bad thing about that was that Shikamaru's new lab partner was Temari.
The whole block Ino was leaning on Shino. Shikamaru saw Ino hanging on Shino so he started to flirt with Temari more. Ino saw this, so she leaned further into Shino The cycle went on and on. By the middle of the block, Asuma saw what they were doing. His students were starting to worry about him when he started giggling, for what his students thought, was for no reason.
"Asuma-sensei, are you ok?" Sakura asked.
"I'm fine." He giggled. "Why do you ask?"
"Because you've never been this…giggly." Sakura said.
"No reason. Just get back to work." Asuma said still laughing.
Sakura, along with everyone else in the class just sat there the rest of the class. (Of course Shikamaru and Ino were still trying to make each other jealous.)
Finally the end of class came.
"Come on Sakura, lets go to lunch." Ino said.
"Um…I'll catch up. You guys go ahead." She told her friends.
"Are you sure?" Tenten asked.
"Of course!" Sakura said. "I'll be done in just a minute."
"Ok, see you there Sakura." Hinata said.
"Yup, bye guys." Sakura said.
After all of her friends and classmates had left Sakura sent up to Asuma to ask him a question.
"Sensei, now can you tell me why you were laughing?" She asked.
"Sakura, do you know why Shikamaru is hanging all over Temari?" He asked.
"Of course, he's going out with her." She answered.
"Wrong, He's doing it to make Ino jealous." He told her.
"How do you know?" She asked wide eyed.
"He's always looking at Ino, and whenever he sees her flirting with Shino, he tries to flirt more with Temari." Asuma explained, rather enjoying this whole situation.
"I can't believe I haven't noticed!" Sakura exclaimed. "I have to go tell Tenten and Hinata! Thank you, sensei." Sakura yelled while running off towards the food court.
Sakura got to the court and ran to Ino, Tenten, and Hinata. Without any warning, Sakura grabbed Tenten and Hinata's arms and dragged them out of the lunchroom.
"Sakura, I was still eating!" Tenten yelled as soon as she got her balance back.
"You can go eat in a second, that is, if you're still hungry." Sakura said.
"What's going on?" Hinata asked.
"I'm going to need you guys to go and steal Sasuke, Neji, and Naruto away.
"I'll get Neji!" Tenten exclaimed.
"Please, no making out this time. It was so disgusting seeing you two." Sakura said. "I'll go get Sasuke. Hinata can you get Naruto?"
"Sure." Hinata said.
Sakura, Tenten, and Hinata all spilt up and grabbed each of the guys that they were assigned to by the arm. (Quite roughly might I add.)
The girls brought them back to the hall way.
"I was still eating!" Neji yelled.
'He and Tenten really are the perfect couple.' Sakura thought. "The reason we have brought you here is because something big has come to my attention. Shikamaru likes Ino, and Ino likes Shikamaru. None of them have come to realize that the other likes them back. Our job his to help them become a couple."
"You're telling me that they both like each other, but neither know about it?" Sasuke asked.
"Yup. That's exactly what I'm saying." Sakura said.
"Well let's get brain storming." Tenten said.
"Well, Shikamaru is going to the movies tonight with Temari…" Naruto said.
"Ino's going to the movies too. What movie, and what time?" Sakura asked.
"I think that it's called 'When Zombies Attack!'" Sasuke said.
"Ino's going to that one too. I don't get why though, sounds like any other kind of scary movie." Tenten said.
"Yeah, true. Well you guys know what this means right?" Sakura said, smiling. You'd think it'd be impossible of her lips to stretch that far.
"Trouble?" Neji said.
"No, it means that we have to follow them." Sakura explained.
"Well then, let the fun begin." Tenten said.
Once again, so sorry that it took me so long. Please give me your honest opinion on my update. Flames and all. Also, pleas tell me if this was long enough for you. Well hope you enjoyed.
