Disclaimer: If you think I own Naruto, who am I to tell you other wise. A/N: I don't know whether this was a request or just a suggestion but here it is. Shikas' POV. Hope you like it.

Shikamura POV:

"Shikamura come back here." Sigh. Why? So you can throw more at Shuriken me?

"Ino. We were dismissed."

"You think I'm an deaf?" That would explain why you're so loud. "I know what Asuma said." Then leave me alone. "We need to train." You need to train. Sigh. She stomped her feet and yelled louder." Shikamura you lazy bum" Did she just get louder? "Give me one good reason you can't stay."

"I have to meet someone."

"Chōji wont mind eating alone" Ino… Unlike you I do have other friends. Sigh.

"It's not Chōji." If you paid attention you would have notice he left about an hour ago. A whole hour with out you. He turned to leave and Ino was right behind him.

"Where are you going? You live that way." She pointed over her shoulder. Thank you, Ino. I would have never noticed if it wasn't for you. "Who are you meeting anyway?" Dam you woman. Shut up. "Shika, don't ignore me." Is that even possible?

"I'm meeting Tenten at the academy"

Ino stopped walking and glared at him. He felt her eyes on the back of his neck so he stopped and turned to face her. Guess I'm gonna be dogging Shuriken after all. Mine as well get it over with.

"Why is it you can go all the was across the village to meet her but you wont even open the door when I come to you." Sigh. One, I'm hoping you'll go away. Two you only want to hit me. Or yell at me. And three…

"The door is never locked" oh lets not forget the fact that I don't want to hear how great Sasuke is.

He felt someone else glaring at him. He looked around and spotted none other then Neji Hyūga. His white eyes were shooting daggers that would have frightened almost anyone. But not Shika, he wasn't even nervous. Not because he was brave or trying to be bold. The truth of it all was he didn't care. Sigh. Why can't he just let it go? She doesn't like him any more. He smiled inside.

"Ino. I have to go" he walked away leaving the loud and angry blonde behind. Why don't you and white eyes throw Shuriken at each other?

20 minutes later

He walked around to the back of the academy. He knew if Tenten was still there she'd be in the back practicing with her weapons. Just like I though. Throwing sharp objects at defenseless pieces of wood. Well at least she's not throwing them at me. He took a seat under a shady tree and just watched her practices. Luck for me Ino isn't that good. Watching her work made him tired. He put his hands under his head and He dosed off.

There were fingers on his neck. Someone was taking his pulse. He half opened his eyes and saw Tenten smiling at him. Her cheeks were slightly flushed. He began to sit up but she pushed him back down.

"Go back to sleep." She looked at the sky it was sunset. "Your breathing was shallow," She looked at him and smile. "Just wanted to make sure you were alright"

He took one hand from under his head and held hers. He yawned (giving her a good look at all his teeth) and mumbled "Thanks".

"Nice bracelet"

"Thanks" She smiled before adding "Nice teeth"

Did she just say nice teeth? He could help but look at her funny. And people think I'm weird. Oh well. At least she's not trying to nock then out. He sat up and took a good look at her.

"What?" She laughed "Shika, your being weird again."

He let out a heavy sigh. "Sorry." I'm not doing it on purpose. Believe me.

"Don't worry about it. I like you best that way"

He continued to look at her. After a while she looked back to the sky. He laid down and closed his eyes. He'd come to a decision. It went against everything he believed. But it was the only thing that made sense.

Maybe… Maybe they're not all troublesome. Maybe.

I love them... Thanks for reading. Feel free to make suggestions on future parings. -Ela
