Disclaimer: I hate these, so I'm not doing them anymore. I don't own Naruto and I never will!

This is one of my fave chappy. I love it.

Shikamaru ran a hand through his lose hair. It was hot and he needed to pull his hair back. Now he knew why Sasuke put so much gel in his hair. Everything was at it's worst. Ino was late every day, Sakura and Sasuke couldn't stop fighting, Temari had dumped him, Naruto and Hinata weren't talking, Tenten had almost killed Neji and Shikamaru couldn't find his cigarettes. The day could hardly get any worse. Well, at lest no one was dieing.

Ino had her head on the table. She was going through a major hangover and it wasn't helping that she hadn't eaten breakfast. She looked up at Shikamaru, "Is it over yet?"

"No. The hell has just started." She sighed and stood up. Almost instantly vomit poured from her throat. Shikamaru jumped up, "Ino? What's with-" he could smell it. The alcohol. It was vodka, "Have you been drinking?" she shook her head.

"No… I'm just sick. I should go home." she stumbled out the door. Sakura had called a janitor. She looked at Shikamaru.

"Well?"

"She's sick… that's all… no big." He sat down and picked up the papers. All of them were homework. He tapped the papers to straiten them. A receipt slipped from the stack. It was from the local liquor store. Seven packs of cigarettes and three bottles of vodka. Shikamaru tried to grab it, but Sasuke got it first.

"Heavy drinking?" Shikamaru nodded.

"Yah. One was for my parents. The cigarettes are gone, but I've got half a bottle left." Sasuke shook his head and handed over the paper. Shikamaru ran from the room. Ino's backpack and his own over his shoulder. He didn't think she'd go this far.

----------------------------------------

Ino lay on her bed. Five empty vodka bottles were on the floor and empty cigarette cartons lay all over the bed. Her whole body was soar. She had never done anything bad to her body. She'd never sipped wine, or tried to smoke. She had her whole life a head of her. The drink and drug made everything worse. Nothing was helping.

"Ino?" she knew it was Shikamaru. He opened the door, "What the hell? You don't drink. You hate alcohol." She smiled and shook her head.

"I'm sorry. I should have left you be. Your life perfect." Shikamaru walked towards her, "Go away." he froze. She wouldn't change her mind. She wanted him gone. He started to leave. No. She needs help. The alcohol is effecting her. he turned and went to sit on her bed. She glared at him, "Fuck off!"

"Ino. Please. Stop this." he cupped her cheeks. She started to cry, "Shhhhh. Hush, babe. Your fine." She sobbed and sobbed. He just held her to his chest and let her mumble apologies. He knew this would happen. Ino looked up.

"Shikamaru. Can you take me to the doctors? I don't feel good." He lifted her up and carried her to the hospital. The doctors took her to intensive care. Shikamaru sighed, he'd call Sakura. He turned on his phone and dialed the number.

'Hello?'

"Sakura? Ino's in the hospital."

'WHAT! I'll be right there!' the phone clicked and Shikamaru looked to the door. He didn't care for anything at the moment. Ino was dead drunk and her world was crashing down.

----------------------------------------

"Shika. Shika! SHIKA!" Shikamaru jumped up. Sasuke looked down at him, "How long?"

"An hour. She's been in there an hour. She fucked up, by drinking more vodka then she can handle. I just figured it out. How is she?"

"Her stomach needed to be pumped and she's got major organ damage. Their doing surgery on her intestines. Other then that… she's fine." Shikamaru groaned and fell back. He was damn tired. He landed on something soft. Looking up he noticed Sakura sitting down.

"Hi Sakura." she smiled.

"Sleepy? How long have you been here?"

"An hour… I think." Sasuke sighed.

"She has to stay over night. We were told to stay here. If she wakes up, they want us here." Shikamaru glared at Sasuke.

"Like hell I'm staying! That bitch hates me anyway. If she asks for me I'll come, but I'm going home." he stormed out of the hospital. Sakura shook her head.

"He's the first person she'll ask for."

"And she won't see him." Sasuke sighed and pulled Sakura close to his chest, "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. When did our world turn into hell?"

"The second Ino said yes to Kiba." Sasuke kissed Sakura's neck. Life was become less sheltered for them all. Normally this would be stuff they saw in movies and on T.V. Not in real life. A doctor stepped in front of them.

"She's awake."
