A/N~ Okay this is going to be the last chapter for a day or so, cuz I am sick and am supposed to be resting. But I figured I would give you guys a chapter and not wonder why I was not writing daily like I said I would. So I will try to post again on Sunday if I am feeling up to it.

After Ino and Shikamaru got out of the shower they got dressed. "I am going to go to the store." Ino said.

"Okay love, I will see you soon." Shika said, kissed her goodbye and handed her some money. Ino left with a smile on her face. "Okay time to put my plan into action." Shika whispered to himself then the damn phone rang. "troublesome." He muttered as he went to the kitchen to answer it.

"Hello?" he asked a bit harshly.

"Hello Shikamaru, I am sorry to interrupt your honeymoon, but you are needed back in the Village for a mission, it will be you and Naruto, I will give you the rest of the details when you get here." Tsunade replied.

"We will be home when the sun sets…if Ino gets back soon." Shika replied softly then hung up because he heard the dial tone.

About an hour later Ino walked in with a bag in her hand. "Ino, love I am sorry but Tsunade needs me to go on a mission with Naruto, apparently it is of up most importance, so we have to leave, I will take you on a second, longer and more private honey moon when I get back from the mission." Shika said as he started to pack the stuff Ino bought.

"Okay, promise me you will be okay." Ino replied.

"Yes, my love I will be just fine, come on the carriage should be at the gate as well as Gaara." Shika said, sounding upset.

"Shika wait, before we go listen to me. It is not your fault you have to go on the mission,l we both knew that there was a possibility this would happen before we got married, I am not upset and you should not be either, I love you so damn much, so be happy." Ino said as she pulled Shiki to her for a passionate kiss. When they broke apart Shika gave a big smile and they walked to the gate hand in hand.

"I am sorry your stay was cut short." Temari said when they got to the gate.

"I am sure you are." Ino replied while giving her a glare that would give Gaara a run for his money. Shika squeezed her hand letting her know that he loved her and not Temari.

"Thank you for the wonderful place to stay, maybe we will come back here for our second honeymoon." Shika said to Gaara.

"I am glad you enjoyed your stay." Gaara replied with a very small almost unnoticeable smile.

Shika and Ino got into the carriage and headed home. "Ino I love you." Shika said out of the blue.

"I love you too so much." Ino replied. Shika pulled her to him and kissed her very softly on the lips. Eight hours later they arrived home.

"Go Shika I will take the bags home, I love you and please be safe." Ino said once they got out.

"I love you too, I will be safe." Shika replied he kissed her then headed off to see Lady Tsunade and Naruto.

Ino walked home slowly with the bags. When she got home she unpacked everything they took to Suna plus the stuff she bought. When she finished she picked up the phone to call Sakura.

It rang three times before she heard, "Hello you have reached Sakura and Sasuke Uchiha, please leave a message and we will get back to you. BEEEEEEEP" "Hey Bill-board brow, just calling to chat, Shika had to go on a mission and I am lonely. Call me when you get this. Bye." Ino said then hung up the phone. "I guess I will watch a movie." Ino mused she then picked up a DVD and put it into the player. She went to her and Shika's room to get a pillow and a blanket. She settled down on the couch and fell asleep shortly after the movie started. She dreamed of Shika and of how he would come home perfectly fine…or would he?
