Ino and Shikamaru were upstairs, away from the party. After seeing Gaara and Sasuke having sex, they wanted out. I would've.

Anyways, Ino was cleaning the guest bedroom with Shikamaru because Guy happened to rape Sakura in there. Eeeeew. Shikamaru broke the silence.

"When's your dad coming back?" he asked.

"He isn't," Ino replied.

"WHAT?"

"Oh. Sorry, I didn't mean to freak you out. My dad said this house was too fancy and big and whatever, so he got a house on the edge of the village to 'settle down'. This is my house now."

"Hang on," Shikamaru stalled. "WHAT?!"

"I know. Why would my dad want to 'settle down'?" Ino thought aloud as she took the sticky sheets to the laundry basket.

"Still it must be nice to live in this giant house," Shikamaru pointed out. "You live a pretty good life." They were walking to the master bedroom to just talk now.

"GOOD?" Ino exploded. "I LIVE BY MYSELF, MY ONCE TRUE LOVE Is NOW A GAY BASTARD, NEJI HAS BEEN WITH TENTEN FOR 3 YEARS, AND MY DAD HAS LEFT ME HERE! I'M BACKED IN A DAMN CORNER, SHIKAMARU, AND THERE'S NO FUCKING WAY OUT!"

"Ino…" Shikamaru panicked to calm her down.

"SHUT THE HELL UP SHIKAMARU, I'M NOT IN THE MOOD FOR YOUR 'TROUBLESOME' SHIT!"

She was mad.

Meanwhile…

Hinata was interrogating Lee. He deserved it. "Just how did you come across those 'steroids', Lee?"

Lee began in a whimsical voice. "Well, I was raiding your house to find your bras, Tampax Pearl, and menstrual relief pills when I saw that bag of yours. I had an injector thingy and a bottle of a liquid/powder kind of substance, so I was like, 'Oh boy! Steroids!' Aaaaand… Here I am!"

"Since when do you need menstrual relief?" asked Kankuro.

"Nevermind," Hinata said. "Just take the rest of this bag."

"May I, Guy Sensei?" Lee asked eagerly.

Guy popped out of nowhere. "YES, Lee, and just remember that as long as you drink enough vodka, use enough steroids, and have sex with enough women, you will truly be a splendid ninja!"

Lee started crying with joy. "Thank you Guy Sensei!"

"Now if you'll excuse me," Guy started. "Lady Tsunade is awaiting my handsomely perfect naked body."

Author's Note: GUY IS A VERY, VERY CREEPY MAN. : -O Meanwhile again…

"Shikamaru, I'm just a little messed up in my life right now. I'm so sorry I snapped at you!" Ino cried.

"Ino, It's okay. I've been thinking about Neji. He's with TenTen. How? He's had such a bad porn problem that he's had to go through rehab a few times. He drinks way too much. How does TenTen fall for that kind of person?" Shikamaru was thinking aloud, but Ino was listening intently. "Sakura still has no idea that Lee has 14 other wives with at least 7 kids each. Ever since she found out about Sasuke's problem, she's been blissfully unaware of Lee's sexual life. Even if they're married or whatever, Lee still thinks she's just another stepping stone to becoming a splendid ninja."

"Lee's not right in the head though," Ino answered.

"That as SO true," Shikamaru replied with sarcasm. "I've been wondering if he is even any good at sex. Those probably aren't even his children."

"Probably not," Ino laughed.

"Who do you think you'll chase after next, boyfriend-wise?" Shikamaru said. He suddenly wished he didn't. It just came out.

"I don't know," Ino answered calmly. "Naruto's not my type, Neji's with TenTen, nobody listens to Kabuto, Lee has a few wives already, and Choji is already dating the buffet table. I need to find a smart, handsome, funny guy who…"

Shikamaru was staring at her. Not creepy-like, just a blank stare. Ino took notice.

"God, what am I THINKING? I was chasing SASUKE?" Ino was talking to herself.

"What? Who is- Oh!" Shikamaru realized. "Are you sure? I don't think I'm ready for that."

"Sure you are!" Ino told him. "Don't think I haven't notice you staring at me on missions and whatnot! You love me and you know it!"

"I guess you're right. Are you sure you're up for that kind of thing?" Shikamaru asked to be sure.

"Ready if you are," Ino finished simply.

Something more was about to come. Come very fast.

Okay. Not my best work. If you think the end was rushed, you're right. It was. That's because it wasn't the end. There will be a sequel, and another sequel.

A few notes:

The sequel will be in the same story. The Next title will be "Something More, Something Less". In other words, I'm changing the title and continuing.

I'm going to change the rating from T to M. Content reasons.

There may be pairings you don't like in here, but don't flame me for it.

The 2nd Genre will be changed from Angst to Humor. Again, this is a content thing.

Thank you to anyone who reviews in the future, and anyone who has reviewed. Bye!
