A/n: oh my God… a miracle just happened.. I… UPDATED! Wow.. lol, just joking (though I am surprised I updated). I am so sorry I took so long, though I swear I had an excuse. I busted my wrist and family issues arose. I can say no more, and I won't delay you so here it goes. I hope this story was worth the wait. To everyone who reviewed I love you! Here a gift bag to you all! (passes gift bags). Please review again, thanks so much!

"Oh my God…." Sakura and Shikamaru said in unison as they walked into their house. They slowly turned and looked at each other, both going pale before shouting "I CAN'T BELIEVE I DID THAT!"

"What the hell was I thinking? Touching Ino's hand, I'm just asking for trouble!"

"What the hell was I thinking, I bit Sasuke's hand thinking it was popcorn! Do I want to be killed!"

Shikamaru blinked, "You BIT Sasuke's hand? Cause you thought it was popcorn?"

Sakura blushed, "Yea.." His sweat dropped, Sakura blushed harder. "It's not like I meant to! It was dark, I reached into the popcorn bucket for popcorn and out popped Sasuke's hand!"

"Hint Sakura… if the popcorn has fingers, seems heavy, and is attached to something… then chances are.. it's not popcorn and.. don't eat it.."

Sakura blushed harder, "Oh sh-shut up Shikamaru! At least I wasn't holding Ino's hand the whole freaking night in front of her boyfriend!"

"If you did I would think you're a lesbian." Shikamaru ducked as Sakura threw a shoe at him. "But no, you were the one who was nibbling on her boyfriend's hand and then holding it all night!"

Sakura's jaw dropped, "YOU SAW!"

Shikamaru nodded. "Damn straight, your lucky Ino didn't see you."

"Well your lucky Ino's BOYFRIEND didn't see you!"

The two glared at each other for a moment before sighing in defeat, "I'm sorry Shiki it's just that…I know I really screwed up! And I have no idea why! Sasuke isn't even my type and yet.. it's like I drawn to him!" Because she sounded so disgusted by that fact Shikamaru chuckled and rubbed her back, "Well I'm sorry too. And believe me, I know the feeling. I screwed up too."

Sakura curled up close to Shikamaru, "You know what? This sucks!"

Shikamaru laughed, "Amen to that!" He held her silently as they began to fall asleep.

The clock struck 6 am when suddenly, "HOLY CRAP!" Shikamaru shot up so fast he sent Sakura flying off of him. He stared at her sprawled form on the floor shouting, "WHERE WAS GAARA AND TEMARI DURING THE MOVIE!"

Sakura sat up scowling, she could feel a bump on her head growing. She glared at the cause of her pain. "I don't know! Somewhere behind us, now I'll be nice… I'm giving you 5 seconds to tell me why you threw me off of you before I dismember you!"

Shikamaru rose a brow at Sakura's threat, "I thought you wanted me to give you nieces and nephews?"

Sakura shrugged, "You could always adopt… now.. back to that explanation.."

Shikamaru rolled his eyes, "What ever… I was just wondering cause at dinner I noticed Gaara and Temari growling. They were muttering something about damn romances, newcomers and popcorn."

"Popcorn? Romances? Why would they be muttering about any of that?"

"I dunno, that's why I'm asking. You don't think they saw us right?"

"No, I don't think so…. I hope they didn't. If they did then Sasuke and Ino would be…. Dead…"

Shikamaru nodded, I agree.. I mean after the movie on our way home they were really quiet…"

"Quiet? What's weird about that? Gaara's practically a freakin mute!"

"I know that but Temari and Kankouru? They're no where near mute. If anything they have trouble shutting up!"

"That's true… you don't think they know something do you? I mean if they do then…" Sakura shuddered.

Shikamaru frowned, "I don't know and that's the problem, I'm worried.."

Sakura nodded, "I know, the feelings mutual, but … can we worry about this in the morning?"

"It is morning."

"Zip it!"

"Idiot."

"I'm warning you Shiki.."

"Warning me about what?" Shikamaru asked innocently.

Sakura glared, "I'm warning you, shut up or I'm calling Temari and saying that you love her."

Shikamaru paled, "You wouldn't!"

"I have her number on speed dial!"

"How can you be so mean? You're my sister!"

"I'm your annoyed sister that's why! Now shut up and sleep!"

Shikamaru scowled, "Ok… but really you don't think the sand siblings would .." Him and Sakura looked at each other frowning before they shook their heads. "Nahh… the sand siblings are too nice.."

On the other side of town… "We are so mean!" Temari cackled, once this plan gets set in motion Ino will and her little snot nosed pals will leave town for good!" She sighed dreamily, "Then Shiki- baby will be all mine!"

Gaara ignored her, staring off into space mumbling, "My Sakura… she'll be safe.."

Kankouru sighed, hugging the ken doll he had specialy made to look like Asuma, "My Asuma… he'll be all mine!"

Gaara and Temari slowly turned their heads to Kankouru, "Um, Asuma's not your. He's married already."

"No!" Kankouru snarled, "He's just pretending that that thing he calls a wife in me!"

Gaara and Temari shook their heads, "But he isn't endangered by Ino- pig and he snotty friends. Shikamaru and Sakura are."

"Yea I know, I just felt like I had to say something!"

Gaara and Temari's seat dropped. "Whatever.." Kankouru giggled, Temari frowned, "Please, please tell me we have different fathers!"

Knakouru frowned, "You know… that's a good question.. hmm.. lemme think?" Temari eyed him in exasperation. Gaara eyed him like he was stupid.

In a hotel miles away…. Ino blushed, she felt stupid for thinking this but.. she didn't want to wash her hand. Shikamaru had touched it and held it. She sighed. She was so confused. Around Shikamaru lately she had felt odd and she didn't know why. She thought she was over him but instead she was getting these emotions and she was getting quite shocked to realize that she like Shikamaru….. still.

She growled, this wasn't the way things were suppose to be. She had spent years in boarding school pinning for Sasuke, desperate to get over her small crush on Shikamaru. She had had that crush since she had first met Shikamaru when she was little. After going to boarder school she was so sure that crush had been over but instead she was finding herself liking Shikamaru again! Damn it how could this happen? She was so sure she was over him but now… damn it this could not happen! She had spent the last 3 years trying to get Sasuke, the hottest guys in school. She had spent three yrs trying to fit into Sasuke gang and now that she finally had Sasuke and was his gang… all she wanted was Shikamaru. All she wanted was her best friends, Shikamaru and Sakura, back.

Again she sighed. She had no idea what to do but if things kept going the way they did she's make Sasuke hate her for sure, she wasn't sure she'd be able bear it if he hated her. And damn it she didn't even know how Shikamaru felt, in her mind she was sure he hated her. Why shouldn't he? She left him and then didn't speak to him for so many years! Him and Sakura had every right to be angry, she didn't want to admit it but it was true. Damn she was screwed.

"Damn… I don't want to like Shikamaru but I do. What am I gonna do now?" She sighed once more before heading in, never noticing the eyes that watched her from afar.

A/n: I have no idea if this was worth the wait, I'm sure it was. I couldn't get a hold of a beta at the moment and I didn't have time to check for mistakes so I'm sorry for any mistakes. But I hope you'll review anyway and if you have any questions, suggestions, or idea I'd love to hear them! Thank you!
