I don't own Naruto…..blah blah blah!

-The Festival!! Currently just beginning, time around 7:30 p.m., almost dark-

The streets were packed with people, all round fun and games. The colorful lanterns making patches of rainbow light on the ground lighted up the streets. There were ramen stands, game stands, and karaoke stands too!

"Is everyone here?!!" Ino shouted to the group, "When I call your name, say present or something!! Naruto!"

"Hey!"

"Sakura? TenTen? Hinata?"

"Hai!!" They said in unison.

"Sasuke? Kiba? Shino? Chouji? Lee? Neji? And Shikamaru?"

"…yeah" Sasuke grunted. "Yo!" Kiba shouted. "…here…" Shino replied. "Yup! Here!" Chouji said, into his first bag of chips, "Here!" Lee called. "Yeah whatever," Neji sighed, but Shikamaru wasn't there.

"Shikamaru? Shikamaru? Where is Shikamaru?!" Ino shouted, looking at the group. Everyone just shrugged. "Everyone go on a head! I'll go look for Shika!" Ino shouted to everyone, running off in her new yukata.

Ino eventually came to Shikamaru's house, she started banging on the door bu there was no answer.

"If your looking for Shikamaru, he is up at the Hokage monument, all by himself," said Shika's dad behind Ino.

"Oh," Ino sorta jumped, he just randomly showed up behind her. "Thanks!" Ino headed off to the monument.

Ino made it up to the monument, and she seen Shikamaru laying down, looking up at the stars that were out. "Shikamaru!! You were suppose to meet up with us about 20 minutes ago!!"

Shikamaru looked over at the furious Ino, "sorry…I got distracted…"

"That's isn't an answer!!…Why are you are alone?" Ino trailed off from her usual yelling.

"Why does it matter?" Shikamaru asked back to Ino, sitting up.

"You shouldn't be up here all alone, you should be down at the festival with everyone else having fun," Ino said to him, sitting beside him.

"So why did you come get me? I thought you were going to be with Sasuke…" Shika mumbled, looking back up at the sky.

Ino gave Shika a confused look, "why do you always try and but out Sasuke when I talk about him…I mean he is my friend…I think…and plus Naruto got a hold of Sasuke's love, its not really so much about Sasuke anymore, I just want someone to be there even when I scream at them, or if I'm crying that they would be there to cheer me up."

"But you've always had that someone," Shikamaru looked at Ino.

Ino looked at Shikamaru, "…"

Shikamaru leaned over to Ino, and his lips meet hers.

Ino sat in shock, Ino was losing her balance, and then Shikamaru put his hand around her neck to hold her steady.

Fireworks started going off and flashes of colors lit up the sky.

Shikamaru and Ino parted after about a minute of their long passionate kiss.

"I love you Ino, and don't ever change!" Shikamaru told Ino straight up.

"I won't!!" Ino gave Shikamaru a big hug.

"We should get down and find the others, they're probably worried about us," Shikamaru said, helping Ino up.

Ino nodded, holding Shikamaru's hand as they walked back down.

One Ino and Shikamaru got back down; they heard a loud crowd by the Karaoke stand. They went up to the crowd to see Naruto and Sasuke kissing.

Ino went up on stage, and broke up the kissing, "Do that somewhere else! Its time to have some fun!! Not draw an audience!!"

Naruto fell off the stage in embarrassment and Sasuke, he was blushing and mumbled something to myself.

The rest of the night they played games, Chouji beat Naruto in a ramen eating contest, Ino, Sakura, and TenTen won "the best girl group" prize in the Karaoke Contest, and Hinata finally confessed her love to Naruto but he rejected her for now. Hinata won't give up and is still going to try to win Naruto's heart.

-8 years later-

Its 8 years later…today is the day when Ino and Shikamaru got married, and waiting for a loving life together.
