From Now And On: IV
The afternoon sun shown over Kohona, Beautiful quiet…except,
"Shikamaru Nara! Akimichi Choji! I am sick and tired of you two! Day in and day out it's, Ino!! Get Me More CHIPS!! And, Ino! You troublesome woman!! I'm so tired of hearing guys yell at me and tell me what to do! I HAVE HAD IT!! ONE OF YOU IS MOVING OUT!!" Ino yelled from her apartment. Her team had lived in her apartment for almost a year and Ino had it!
"…"
"…" The boys didn't know what to say. Choji went to his room mumbling that He'll move in with Alana… His girlfriend. Ino went into the kitchen and grabbed a plate of cake. She sat at the table eating the cake, she looked up to see Shikamaru starring at her.
"What?" She said with a bit of cake in her mouth.
"Your not supposed to be eating cake. You have a problem…Trou…" He was cut off,
"DON'T YOU DARE SAY 'THAT' WORD!" Ino got up and threw the cake at him. Shikamaru had cake all over his face, when he got it out of his eyes he saw Ino slamming the door to the bedroom.
"Ino." Shikamaru said leaning against the door.
"What do you want?" She said from the other side of the door.
"Come out, Choji is leaving now." He said.
" BYE CHOJI!!" Ino yelled, which caused Shikamaru to fall down, his head closest to the door. He mumbled at 'Troublesome' and Ino opened the door to hit him on the head. Choji chuckled and mumbled a 'Good Luck.'
Ino stepped out of her room; she plopped on the couch and crossed her arms. Shikamaru went and sat next to her. Ino looked over and slightly blushed, the way his hair looked when it wasn't in a ponytail made him look pretty cute. His hair reached his shoulder, and his bangs covered one of his eyes. Ino bent over to get the remote and switched on the TV. She flipped through the channels until she found a channel she liked. It was giving the Kohona version of Laguna Beach. (What ever is in Italics is the show, and what ever is underlined is Ino)
Ami- Like, I don't get it! Sasuke should be like, all over me and he should like, be all 'I LOVE YOU AMI MARRY ME!! Don't you see how short this skirt is and how tight this tube-top is?

(Sasuke walks by with his arm around Sakura)
Ino- HAHA!! I KNEW IT!!

Sasuke- This 'Thing' has a name and it's Sakura, and we're dating.

Kali- Yeah Ami, just like, let them like go.
Ami- Like you know what, like how about you go run after like Josh and like leave me alone you like wanna' be! Sasuke-Kun!
(Sasuke left)
"Ino." Shikamaru said from the kitchen. Ino looked over, "Dinner." Ino turned off the TV and walked towards the table. Shikamaru brought out two plates of chicken, rice and a salad. Usually it was normally loud… but tonight all you can hear is forks hitting against plates.
"Um… That was good. Thank you." Ino said getting up taking her plate to the sink.
"Ino. I know why you're like this." Shikamaru said getting up.
"Like what?" Ino said averting her gaze.
"This is the day your brother died."
"SHUT UP!!" Ino said with tears she ran to her room and shut her door. Shikamaru went to his room, which is next to Ino's, and went to bed.
During the night, Shikamaru could hear sobs and some one muttering the name 'Soto'. With a sigh he got up rubbing his eyes and knocked on Ino's door. He noticed Ino didn't lock her door, he opened the door to see pictures scattered on the floor with Ino and a boy that looked older than her. He had golden blond hair that was spiked and the dark blue eyes. And he had smile that made any person smile. Shikamaru went up to Ino and put a hand on her shoulder. She turned around and went back to looking at a picture in her hands.
"Ino. Come with me." Shikamaru said. Ino slowly got up. Shikamaru brought her to his room and told her to sit on his bed. He went into his closet and took out a box. He sat next to Ino and opened the lid to the box. It showed a lady in a white dress with blue flowers on them. She had long Black hair and a beautiful smile.
"She's so beautiful…" Ino said, she looked over to Shikamaru; he looked like he was about to cry. "Shikamaru?" Ino said.
"She died… giving birth to me." He said with tears going down his face. Ino looked back at the picture. She turned it over and it had writing on it. "Miashi. Loving wife and friend. R. I. P" Ino stood up and stood in front of Shikamaru. He looked up to see Ino looking at him.
"We'll get through this together." Ino said. Shikamaru looked up at her and smiled. He lay down in bed and Ino joined him. Ino looked up to see that Shikamaru painted clouds on his ceiling.
"You have Stolen My Heart"
