Ino and Shikamaru ran out to the schools abandoned courtyard. They stood there taking in their surroundings. It was a cold, cloudy afternoon. The courtyard's plants had barely any leaves left on them. In the center, there was a rather large fountain made of cobblestone.
Ino and Shikamaru finally started to breath normally again. Ino was the first to speak. "Why did you save me Shikamaru?" Ino asked, blushing slightly. Shikamaru looked away and said, "The creep had it coming to him. I'm not just going to sib back and watch girls get taken advantage of." "Oh" was all that Ino managed to squeak out. After that, there was an awkward silence. This time it was Shikamaru to speak first. "Well I guess I better go now." "Wait…um…about the other night…" Ino was cut off by Shikamaru. "I meant what I said Ino, no matter what you say or do, what's happened has happened." With that Shikamaru walked away.
I'm sorry Ino, but I've realized that if I get to close to you then someone's going to try to hurt you. I do have feelings for you Ino, and that will never change. Please wait for me, Ino. Thought Shikamaru tears filling his eyes. As Shikamaru waked away Ino began to cry as well. Instead of following Shikamaru into school, she left for the rest of the day. Ino was determined to get Shikamaru to take back what he said.
Once she got home she went right up to her room. She thought no one was there but her, but what Ino didn't realize was the Temari was crouched down under Ino's bed. She was so desperate to find out Ino's feelings for Shikamaru, that she had waited there since Ino had left for school in the morning.
Ino jumped onto he bed, somewhat crushing the rather large 'bug' underneath it. Owwww thought Temari cringing from the pain. Ino grabbed her diary from the top drawer of her nightstand. Ino wrote about her day for about 30 minutes. After that she put it back into her drawer and left to find Shino. She had to let him know that she wasn't gong to use him anymore.
Temari on the other hand was still in Ino's room, but now she was sitting on her bed. She grabbed Ino's diary from her drawer and began to read. She began to get angry after she saw that Ino kept writing about Shikamaru. "I'm going to get her." Temari growled under her breath.
Ino finally found Shino sitting under a tree in the park. "Um…hey Shino." Ino said nervously. "Hey, Ino. I haven't seen you around lately." Shino said, still looking at his bugs. "Yeah, well I've been kinda busy." Ino pulled out and envelope. "Here's the rest of your money."
"But I thought…" he was cut off by Ino's sobbing voice, "I gave up on him, since he gave up on me." She began to cry uncontrollably now. Shino moved to comfort her, but before he could get to her Ino ran off.
Ino was running in no particular direction. Suddenly, Ino bumped into someone's shoulder. She never glanced back to see who it was, she just kept on running.

Shikamaru looked back to see who bumped into him. "Ino?" Shikamaru felt enraged once he saw that she was crying. He began to walk in the direction that Ino came from. He found Shino sitting on a bench.
Shikamaru walked right up to Shino and grabbed him by the collar. "What'd you do to Ino?!" he yelled. "Why would you care?" Shino shot back. "Answer my question. Shikamaru's grip tightened.
