Shikamaru or Sasuke?

Author's Note: Hey guys! I decided to write chapter 2 because I'm bored and I didn't have any homework to do;] .

Summary: And there it hit her. Ino was stuck between two loves. A lazy bestfriend that she knew for a very long time, and a cold-hearted guy that she thought before that he was just an 'emo bastard,' but actually he showed her his real sensitive side. Both guys confessed their feelings for Ino, but she has to pick one. Who will she choose? Is it Shikamaru or Sasuke?

Ino waited for her teacher to stop lecturing about college. She glanced at the clock if it's time to go. Just then, the bell rang. Everyone in the class rose up from their seat and walked out the classroom for 2nd period.

Ino sigh happily and walked out of the classroom as well. As she was walking, she held out her schedule and looked at it. She had Health Class next. She folded her schedule slip and placed it back inside her bag. She found her class and walked inside.

"Ino!" She heard and she looked back. She saw a girl with two brown buns on her head walking towards her.

Ino squeaked, "TenTen! I missed you so much!" She ran and hugged her tightly.

TenTen hugged her back and pulled away. She took a good look at the platinum-blonde, "Damn, Ino.. you sure got hotter."

Ino laughed, "Same goes to you."

TenTen walked to her seat with Ino behind. All seats were a big long desk that can fit two people in. "I saved you a seat next to me." TenTen hinted.

Ino took a seat next to TenTen beside her. She put her cross-body bag on her lap. "Thanks."

"Aah, don't mention it." TenTen responded. "Sooo, how was-… WOAH …." TenTen stopped her conversation when she saw a smirking raven-hair coming inside the class. "Whos that cutie." TenTen asked as she drooled over him.

Ino looked at the 'Cutie,' and she rolled her eyes. 'Not her too.' Ino thought. She saw a lot of girls adjusting their hairs to make it perfect for Sasuke to notice them, but it didn't work. He ignored them and took a seat next to Neji.

She averts her eyes from Sasuke and faced another fan girl. "That's Sasuke. He's new."

TenTen smirked, "Soo another hottie that goes here." Her eye's widen and quickly covers her mouth with her hand.

Ino raised an eyebrow and glance at her sporty brunette friend, "Another hottie?" She thought about it and she smirked, "Who's the first hottie?"

TenTen blushed and looked away from her, "Eehh? Uhm, no one." TenTen lied.

"But-…"

TenTen quickly cut her off. "Hey look, Kurenai Sensei is here!" She said as she pointed at her.

Kurenai Sensei walked towards her desk and settled in her seat. She smiled and waved, "Good morning class, I hoped you had a great summer vacation." She greeted her class. "I know it's the first day, but you all have a project to do today."

Next thing you know, everyone in the class groaned.

Kurenai Sensei laughed, "I'm sorry class. But the good thing is that I'm assigning you guys' partners."

Ino groaned inwardly even more. She hated working on a project with a partner. She's okay with working with a girl, but a guy? No. She cannot work with a male classmate. If it's someone that she knows that's a guy then she's perfectly fine with that.

She continued, "The project is very simple. All you and your partner need to do is take care a baby doll. If it cries, nurture it. Change the baby's diaper too even though… something didn't… come out. I'll give you guys a day to keep the baby and then bring back to school tomorrow. If you succeed then you'll have an easy A. Okay, so if I call your names please come up and I'll give you your baby."

Aw crap. Ino's mind began to buzz annoyingly. She looked around the room if her guy friends are here. She only found Neji, Choji, and Kiba. She prayed if she could at least get them as her partner. She also prayed that she wouldn't be assigned to Sasuke. 'Please, don't be Sasuke.' Ino thought.

"Yumi Tei and Choji Akimichi."

Please, don't be Sasuke.

"Sayuri Sato and Kiba Inuzuka."

Please, don't be Sasuke.

"TenTen Kei and Neji Hyuga."

Please, don't be Sasuke.

"Karou Mizuki and Shino Abrume."

Please.

"Ino Yamanka-…"

Don't.

"and-…"

Be.

"Sasuke Uchiha."

Sasuke.

Ino shut her eyes in defeat. She was going to be stuck babysitting a fake baby with Sasuke for 2 whole days. She'll rather work with Shino. But why him. Out of all people, it had to be Sasuke.

Ino saw Sasuke walking towards Kurenai Sensei's desk to get the baby. She sighs and rose up from her seat and followed him. Once she got there, she stands beside Sasuke.

Kurenai Sensei smiled, "Here you go." She said as she placed it on Sasuke's hands. "Take good care of it."

Ino nodded and she heard her partner saying "Hn." She walked back to her seat with TenTen next to her.

"I'll give you five minutes to work out how you will meet with your partner outside of school." Kurenai-sensei said as she sat back down on her chair.

Ino looked around for her partner and saw him staring at a window with the baby plopped on his desk. She rolled her eyes and pulled herself out of her seat.

"Sasuke?" Ino said standing in front of him.

He turned his head and faced the blue eye blonde. "What?"

Ino crossed her arms and she fumed, "What? What do you mean about 'What?' We have to talk about where we'll meet for our project."

Sasuke stared at her for a moment before sighing and flipping his notebook open. He grabbed a pen and he started writing down something on his paper.

Ino looked at him who was confused at what he was doing. She waited when he was finished writing whatever he wrote.

Sasuke put his pen down and ripped his paper from his notebook. He handed it to Ino, "Here. It's my address. We'll do our project there."

Ino took the paper and read his address. His brows furrowed as he looked over her face. Ino felt a soft blush threaten to creep over her cheeks. He continued, "After school today."

"Okay." Ino answered quickly. "But you're keeping the baby the whole day." She heard him rejecting it, but she turned and retreated back to her seat.

"Your Five minutes is up! Take your seats." Kurenai Sensei asked cheerfully. "Now, we'll be learning …."

Ino closed her locker shut and walked towards the cafeteria. She saw her friends already sitting in a table so she sat with them. She saw an open seat next to Shikamaru so she took it. "Hey guys." She greeted.

They all greeted her back; saying stuff like "Hi," or "Hello." Everyone went back to their conversation.

She glance at Shikamaru who's head is down on the lunch table. "Shikamaru." Ino said feeling annoyed that she had to wake her lazy best friend up. "Lazy Bum." Ino repeated poking him in the head. The sleeping male grumbled something and swatted her hand away. This made Ino even more annoyed. "Shikamaru, get up. I want to tell you something." She hissed poking him once more.

"Whaddyawan?" he asked groggily picking his head up off the table. He had a slight drool on his face and his eyes looked tired. He scratched his head and faced Ino.

Ino chuckled, "Aww, it's cute seeing you waking up."

Shikamaru was now fully awake. Cute? She thinks that he's cute?

"What's your purpose for waking me up?" He asked as he grabbed her apple and took a bite of it.

"I wanted to ask you something.." Ino replied as she grabbed her apple back.

"Ehh? What is it?" He questioned, rubbing what remained of his nap from his eyes.

"Well, umm… today I was… ugh I'll just get to the point. I'm going to Uchiha's house and I was wondering if you could drop me off there." Ino pleaded.

He raises an eyebrow at her. Uchiha? Who the hell is Uchiha? Does she mean Sasuke? "What are you going to do at Sasuke's house?" He asked with a concern tone.

Ino's face turned red, "Hey! It's not what you think. Were supposed to do this lame project…" Ino said. "And Sasuke said we could do it at his house."

"No way! Ino you're doing it with Uchiha at his house?" Both Ino and Shikamaru turned around to see who it was. They saw Kiba and Sasuke behind them.

Kiba continued, "If you're going to have sex then make sure to bring prote-…"

"Idiot. It's not what you think." Sasuke said interrupting Kiba from speaking. "We have a project and were doing it at my house."

Kiba laughed, "Oh then woops." He took a seat next to Ino. He faced Sasuke, "Yo Sasuke, take a seat next to Shikamaru. Don't worry he won't bite."

"Hn." Sasuke replied taking a seat next to Shikamaru.

"Sooo Shikamaru whatcha say?" Ino asked.

"Whatever." He responded.

Shikamaru pulled his car over to the sidewalk.

Ino looked at the house… wait scratch that, it's a MANSION? "Wow, I know Sasuke is rich, but I never knew he was this rich!"

Shikamaru grumbled, "Yeah, yeah whatever can you go now?"

She huffed, "Why so mean?" She stepped out of the car and waited for an answer.

He ignored her question, "Sorry, I'm just tired. Have fun. Bye."

Before Ino could reply, he was already driving away. "Weird." She said. Ino walked towards the big mansion and she rang the doorbell.

When the door opened, Ino responded quickly, "Look Sasuke, let's just-…. Wait you're not Sasuke?" He looked like Sasuke, but it certainly wasn't him. He looked much older and much taller.

The man chuckled, "He's inside. You must be his girlfriend. I'm Itachi Uchiha."
