Pregnant. He got her pregnant. They're crazy. I can't believe that—never mind. It's been done. Shikamaru's never gonna give her up anyway.
Shikamaru was bound to come home. And if he looked at her directly, she wouldn't be able to resist the urge of slapping him. Staying inside the flower shop was the only thing prevententing her to do so. It was empty and not many costumers purchased flowers. She stood behind the counter just impatiently wanting time to go by quicker. Surely no one would come in anymore. A huge yawn escaped her mouth as she found herself getting drowsier.
And drowsier….
"Ino!" Sakura attacked the door open intruding her peacefulness. "Ino! Quick! Shikamaru's in coma!"
This was the second time she had announced this. It's as if Team 10 was suffering the most drama. The kunoichi skipped a heart beat, but immediately followed Sakura out to the hospital.
"Sakura-chan, he's gonna be okay right?" Ino asked. Sakura shrugged.
They stood beside his bed and both ogled at him. He was all decked out with wires and creepy objects that Ino would never understand. But standing right beside him, just like what had happened Chouji brang back all those feelings for Ino.
It's his life that's on the line tonight. I only make it complicated. 'Troublesome' as he would say it…
"Tsunade-sama said that he'll wake up" Sakura announced faintly "But his brain might have problems…"
This news wasn't relieving to Ino and Sakura immediately seized her self to prevent her talking. That murky look on Ino's face told her to stop.
"I should probably leave you now" she suggested. Ino didn't say anything. But when she heard the door slowly shut behind Sakura, she pressed her head top his chest and waited patiently for a heart beat.
Damn it. Don't you dare die tonight! You can't do this to me. I'll kill you...if you're not dead that is. Come on! Wake up!
Nothing. She could hear nothing. She could do nothing.
I can't believe I'm gonna say this…
She then whispered, "I understand that you're in coma" She took a deep breath and let it all out. "And when you—if you wake up... I'll be gone"
More deep breaths. "Don't chase after me anymore because I won't chase you back. You've already gotten Temari pregnant and you deserve her...just like she deserves you" The rims of her eyes suddenly filled with tears. "I'm gonna leave you and Temari alone…once and for all. You can marry her without hesitating" The tears stopped. "Like I said before Shikamaru" she lectures the unconscious man "Don't break her heart"
Ino stopped whispering in his ear and slowly walked to exit out the door. As her hand reached for the door knob, it suddenly spun without her having to. And there she stood.
"Hello Ino" Temari simply greeted. She turned towards Shikamaru's bed. "Oh god" she cried underneath her breath.
"Temari" Ino suddenly spoke up. "Shikamaru loves you." Temari felt a little awkward hearing this from Ino. None of them admitted it, but they secretly disliked each other for no reason.
"Uhh..." Temari stuttered "I hope he does..."
"I loved him too" she quickly confessed "Remember that time he was badly injured from his mission? Yeah. I loved him then"
"Why are you telling me—"
"I don't love him anymore" Ino explained "You win. Take him. I'm leaving" Temari jaws nearly dropped as she heard this. The words coming out of this kunoichi's mouth weren't from Yamanaka Ino. Admitting defeat was an unlikely thing for her to do.
All that could come out of her mouth was "Thank you…" I think.
"And I promise," Ino swore "He won't break you heart". Temari nodded in more confusement. I'm trying to understand... she thought.
Just as Ino nearly walked away, she said "Thank you".
"You're welcome" Ino sweetly replied.
Temari then shut the door behind her and walked over to Shikamaru's bed. She stared at him for a moment. The constant beeping of the machines were worrying her. Her eyes lingered on Shikamaru's face.
About an hour later, as she nearly gave into sleep, his eyes slowly opened.
"Shikamaru!" Temari threw her arms at his awakened fiancé. Shikamaru just gaped there, not saying anything. He still felt cramps on his head
"Temari"
"I'm so glad you're okay!" she exclaimed
"Temari"
"I was so worried…"
"Temari"
"I had a talk with Ino and—"
Ino.. Shikamaru remembered I heard Ino! She said she was leaving and—
Shikamaru took a firm hold of Temari's arms and said "Temari if I don't say this now, we'll both be miserable!"
Temari backed down. "What is it?" she asked nervously.
