Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto just the plot, if I did Shikamaru and Temari would be married by now and have three kids.

Author's ramblings: I have found out another important news flash:

Do not tell cats that your allergic to them they take it as an insult, it's okay with dogs because they're not as smart as cats ( no offence to you dog lovers out here, dogs are loyal and playful, cats are caring and smart).

The phrase "no offence" can excuse you from anything! Such as "No offence mate but your wife is the ugliest looking cod I've ever laid eyes on but no offence".

You may notice that in this chapter there is a lot of junior swearing usually against Temari but don't worry it's all because Ino is a jealous bitch (sorry for all you fans out there) I hate her guts, Infact I hate her guts so much I want to rip them out and paint a picture on the wall with them… HEEHEEHEEHEEHEE!!!!!!!

ooooooooo

Ino had been walking down the street trying to find Shikamaru for about an hour now, she had just about given up when she walked past a small café and through the clear glass window she saw that oh so familiar spiky black pony-tail. Finally, she sighed to herself as she walked through the entrance. She was just about to call him over when she saw another girl sitting with him! Quickly she hid behind a plant so they wouldn't notice her. Is this the girl we were talking about? Ino questioned herself, shit! I thought he was just joking about her. God damn it, I knew I should have done something sooner to sway him away from other girls, couldn't he just wait for me. Wait they could just be friends I mean no one has ever wanted to go out with him before.

The girl sitting with Shikamaru leaned forward and kissed him on the mouth. That SLUT! Ino thought filled with rage, what a bitch! Wait a second now I recognise her she was that sand bitch I think Temari was her name, oh yeah real classy miss first you try to kill him then kiss him!

Ino was brought out of the rampage in her mind by Temari standing up from the table and walking towards her hiding place. Oh shit, Ino thought frantically as tried to conceal herself more in the plant. But thankfully Temari walked past her and out of the shop.

A smile creeped on to the face of Shikamaru as he scratched his head. Don't you dare smile, Ino shouted at him mentally, Oh god does he really like her… if he does that bitch is going to pay.

ooooooooo

Temari had just left the café and was about half a block down the road when she heard fast footsteps coming up from behind her, she decided to ignore them because if they were any threat then they would be stealthily.

"Hey, sand bitch!" Her follower called out. Temari turned around after hearing this insult a frown of annoyance on her face.

"Do you have a problem with me, eh… what's your name?" Temari asked.

"Oh yeah real funny, and my problem is you know the guy you just kissed if you do that again your going to regret it… and my name is Ino, I-n-o," Ino retorted in what she thought was a smart manner (yeah right).

"Oh my god are you like stalking him," Temari jaunted, "Oh I see."

"See what?" Ino said slightly panicking.

"You have a sad little crush on him, don't you?" Temari laughed, "And you're scared that I'm going to take him away from you. How sad, and just to say the way we kissed there wasn't any other girl on his mind." Ino stepped forward to slap her but Temari bent down and punched her in the stomach. Ino staggered backwards, winded.

"Look if you really want to fight me then I'll meet you at the training grounds tomorrow at 7:00 am. Don't be late." Temari challenged the glaring Ino. What a moron, Temari thought, I almost feel sorry for her.

ooooooooo

"Why exactly are we here?" Shikamaru asked Sakura.

"I'm here because Ino's my friend and you're here because Temari's your girlfriend and just in case you forgot this fight is about you," Sakura answered calmly.

"Wh-Who told you Temari was my girlfriend? Because she's not! And how did you know about this fight" Shikamaru stuttered his voice dripping with panic.

"Oh please, it's obvious you like her. And I found out about this from Ino's pouting," Sakura informed him, "Now be quiet or she'll find out were here."

They looked at the impatient Ino, waiting for Temari in the training grounds. She was just about to turn around and walk away when Temari's silhouette walked towards her from out of the sunrise.

"Wow I didn't think you were stupid enough to actually come," Temari said, "Well let's get this show on the road," Temari stood with her arms apart waiting for an attack.

"Don't pretend to be so sure of yourself," Ino said, her voice rising, "I'm stronger than you think I am!"

"Well I won't know how strong you are unless you come at me, ya wimp," Temari said, winding up the fuming Ino.

"Bitch!" Ino shouted it like a war cry as she ran towards Temari a kunai (is that spelled right) in one hand. To low, Temari thought as she easily jumped and avoided the attack. Where the hell did she go?! Ino asked herself.

"Ha! Did the little scared sand bitch run away!" Ino taunted, trying to lure her out.

"At the end of this fight you'll be the one running away!" Temari's voice said. Ino quickly looked around to try and find her and started to draw a weapon.

"Too slow!" Temari said as she suddenly appeared beside Ino, knocking the weapon out of her hand, Temari pulled the fan off her back, still closed, and shoved it in Ino's gut. Her victim coughed up blood as she hung balancing on Temari's unopened fan completely defeated.

"Wow, I knew Ino had no chance against Temari but for her to go down without Temari even opening her fan and Temari won so fast!" Shikamaru said quietly to Sakura.

"Either Temari's an amazing fighter or Ino's a really bad-," Sakura added but stopped suddenly as Temari's voice rang out towards them.

"You can come out now, Sakura… Shikamaru," She said. They stood up out of their hiding place clearly embarrassed, "Sakura you can go home now and take Ino with you, Shikamaru I would like a word with you," Temari ordered. Sakura picked up Ino and walked away obediently. Shikamaru remained where he was.

"Temari, what was it you wanted to talk about," Shikamaru asked.

"May sound strange but I wanted to talk about Ino," Temari said quietly her face growing red as she thought of the approaching question, "Do you… umm …like her?"

"Well yeah, sure I do I mean she is my teammate," Shikamaru answered bluntly.

"No I mean do you …love her?" Temari rephrased her question.

"Love? God no!" Shikamaru laughed as Temari's face filled with relief that she was trying to hide, "I don't love anyone else except-," Shikamaru stopped.

"Except who?" Temari asked slightly worried.

"You know what never mind," Shikamaru said as he turned to leave, "If that was all you were worried about then I gotta go, so bye," Damn, why do I always chicken out when it comes to talking about my feelings, Shikamaru thought, especially around her.

I wish I knew what he was going to say, Temari thought, I wonder who he was talking about.

ooooooooo

Ino was rampaging down the street holding on to her bandaged wound on her stomach. That sand bitch! Shikamaru is mine and no one will take him from me EVER!

Ino saw Shikamaru trailing down the road and she quickly hid herself against the wall. There he is, what's with that dopey look on his face? Ino thought, let's see where he's going, and if he's going to see that Temari well then I can interfere a bit.

She followed Shikamaru until he reached the hotel district. What's he doing here? Don't tell me he really is going to see that sand bitch? Ino fretted to herself. Shikamaru entered a hotel after some time, Ino followed shortly afterwards. Let's see what their up to, she thought slyly as she sneaked in after him. Before she could follow him up the stairs the receptionist stopped her.

"Excuse me miss, but may I ask you what your business is here?"

"Oh I'm visiting a friend," Ino replied as she watched Shikamaru disappear up the stairs. Damn! Now how will I catch him?

"May I have the persons first name, please?" the receptionist asked.

"Temari."

"Okay, she's in room 206." she said cheerfully. Ino felt embarrassed at herself for not thinking that the receptionist would tell her where Temari was.

"Thanks!" Ino said gratefully as she started towards the stairs.

"Oh, hold on a second," the hotel worker said, "She's just sent me a memo to not let anyone disturb her," she said as she stared at her computer screen.

Oh my god that slut! Ino thought viciously as she walked out the door, I guess I'll have to find some other way to spy on them…

Ino walked around the back of the building searching for another entry. Unfortunately for her there were no more entrances. Ino jumped onto a edge around the building and counted the number of window sills until she reached Temari's window. She leaned down to get a better view of what she was doing. Oh my god! That SLUT!

ooooooooo
