A/N: New chapter! n.n I know, it's been too long since I've updated! But I wanted to give my other stories updates, too. I've decided to set a goal for my story! I won't update until I reach 6200 hits for the story (About 500 more), 400 hits for the chapter, or 75 comments. I'm evil.

ALSO! I want to take a vote. In the review, tell me who you want Shikamaru and Sakura to end up with? Should it be each other, or Sasuke and Ino?

Disclaimer: You know the drill.

It seemed like forever that Ino and Sakura stood there. In Shikamaru's mind, Ino screamed frantically. This was not part of the plan. She was going to have to get out. But what about Sasuke? He was going to burst in any moment and--

Ino's thoughts were interrupted by a small hand on Shikamaru's face. It then moved up to his hair. Ino gasped, in tun opening Shikamaru's mouth. Sakura pulled back, a wide smile on her face.

"Wow, Shikamaru. I never knew you were such a good kisser!" Sakura's cheeks were a light shade of pink. Then, the unthinkable happened. She closed in for another kiss. Her face moved closer and closer to Shikamaru's. Ino wanted to reach out and push her away. She moved her hands, but instead of pushing her away, Ino caught Sakura right around the waist.

With a twitch of her mental eye, Ino thought, 'When did she get so skinny?' Ino opened her mouth to make a rude comment, but right as she opened her mouth...

"INO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Sasuke burst in the door, glaring at Sakura. "The plan was to--"

"Ino? PLAN?" Sakura turned her angry green eyes on the newcomer. She glared at Sasuke and pulled on her black gloves. "What is that supposed to mean, Sasuke-kun?" A psychotic smiled erupted on her face. Sasuke backed away, looking from Sakura to Shikamaru. He had a confused expression not usually found on the face of the Uchiha.

"You're not Ino..." He responded dumbly. He glanced over at Shikamaru. From Sasuke's point of view, it looked like he wanted to make a dent in his forehead with his palm. It then dawned on Sasuke.

"You're Ino!" He said, pointing at Shikamaru. This was confirmed by a large slashing motion in the air by the latter, trying to get Sasuke to shut up. But Sakura turned just in time to see one of the large x-motions. Sakura made her way over to Ino, and smacked her hard in the cheek. It hurt terribly. And the superhuman strength wasn't helping.

The angry green eyes were to creepy to bare for Ino. "Dispel!" Shikamaru yelled, making the hand motion. In less than a minute, Ino's soul was back in her body, and she was running as fast as possible away from the house. Shikamaru's head raised after being slumped over.

"Ugh... My face..." He gingerly rubbed the place on his face where Sakura had slapped him. Hand still on cheek, he glanced over at Sakura and Sasuke. With a look of horror on his face, Shikamaru's brain quickly came up with a solution.

"Ino and Sasuke came to break us up, and Ino took over the wrong body. Now she has fled, and Sasuke wants to leave. But our love will conquer all. That's what happened, right?"

But only in perfect world could that happen. "Sakura, are we breaking up?"

Instead of answering, Sakura walked up to him, and kissed him on the cheek. The cheek that she has previously hit Ino. She backed away with a smile. "What do you think, dummy?"

While Shikamaru and Sakura were having their mushy moment, Sasuke quickly fled. He ran like he never had before, and was hit by Lee. Lee's foot hit him square in the back of the head, causing Sasuke to fall on his face. He then felt to pair of feet trample over him, followed by Naruto's voice ringing out through the night.

"SASUKE! I WILL DEFEAT YOU! LATER!"

Sasuke groaned, and lay like that for a long time.

The next day, Sasuke awoke to the loud screaming of fangirls. He was lying face up, and he wasn't in the street anymore. He was in a very large house, by the looks of it. He tried moving his left arm, but it wouldn't budge. He glanced over at it. It was strapped down, as were his other arm and two legs. There was also a strap around his stomach and neck. He was strapped to a very large, round table type thing.

"5 dollars to see the great Uchiha for two minutes! Sasuke Uchiha, the one and only, right here, right now! Limited time offer! He can't run away! 10 dollars to touch him. 50 to kiss him!"

Sasuke's eye twitched. That was Shizune's voice. Tsunade was trying to make money of of him. The fangirls crowded around, oogling him. There were ANBU guards there, holding the people without the touching passes back.

One girl came up with a pink pass instead of the normal yellow pass. He could plainly read the word KISS on it. That could only mean one thing...

'Oh shit. Oh crap. God, save me! Naruto! Anyone?!'

The girl walked up to him, her lips curving out. Sasuke tried to pull away. She came closer, and closer. In an act of desperation, Sasuke knocked himself out with a bang on the back of his head.

At that moment, Sakura and Shikamaru walked by, laughing abut something. They had just got back from lunch at the ramen stand. Shizune waved Sakura over.

"Sakura-chan, could you please save Sasuke-san? I think Tsunade-sama is taking a little too much liberty to pay off her debts." Sakura sighed.

"What did she do this time?"

"Well, she's selling tickets to people. I don't know much else, but it doesn't sound good. I would go in, but then the money would be left unguarded, and we need to pay off the debts regardless of how she gets the money."

Sakura threw a cautionary glance to Shikamaru. He nodded, signaling he didn't mind her rescuing Sasuke.

"Okay, I'll do it." Shizune handed Sakura a pink pass. She didn't bother to read it.

In her own mind, Shizune was laughing manically. Ever since she and Kakashi had started going out, they had been planning to get Sakura and Sasuke together. Now it would work.

Sakura walked through the crowd. Sasuke was strapped to a bullseye. "Tsunade-sensi, you've gone too far."

"STEP RIGHT UP! Ah, a yellow pass! Let her through, boys." A brown haired girl walked up with wide eyes. She touched his face. When she pulled back her hand, she squealed.

"I'm NEVER going to wash this HAND!" She cradled it near her face. Sakura rolled her eyes. Tsunade spotted her apprentice with the pink pass. Her eyes narrowed. Why is she here? Did she break up with Nara? God, I hope not. I don't have enough to pay Kakashi...

"Well boys, it looks like we have a pink pass! Sakura, it's your lucky day!" A ninja came beside her, and pulled her toward the unconscious boy.

"Tsunade-sensi, just let him go." She looked at her sensi. The amber eyed women smiled.

"I wouldn't want you to waste fifty dollars, Sakura. Go ahead, you can kiss him. Then I'll left him go."

"KISS HIM?" Sakura looked down at the pass Shizune had given her. It did indeed say kiss in big, bold letters. The ninja dragged the pink haired girl toward the raven haired Uchiha. Sakura was trying frantically to pull back. What had Shizune done?

Outside, Shizune looked at the lazy ninja. "Sakura sure has been in there for a while. Maybe you should go check on her..."

"I think I will, Shizune-san." Shikamaru walked in, pushed through the crowd, and saw his worst nightmare.

He walked in right as Sakura was being forced to kiss Sasuke. The Uchiha came to just as the pink head moved toward him. His eyes widened in shock, then found their way to the bewildered Nara. He smirked inwardly. He had won, and Nara knew it.

Seeing Sasuke conscious again, Sakura pulled apart, and turned to where he was looking. She saw a green vest turn, and leave. Shikamaru...!

"SHIKAMARU!" She yelled, completely forgetting about the Uchiha behind her. All he could do was smirk.

Shikamaru stalked out of the building, head angled so there was a shadow over his eyes. Shizune grinned to herself: Her plan had worked. But the grin was soon replaced by a fake shocked face.

"Shikamaru-kun?" He just brushed past her. A few minutes later, Sakura ran out. The pink haired girl was flushed, and had a worried look in her eye. "He went that way, Sakura-chan." She pointed to the retreating back of the Nara.

As Sakura ran after him, Kakashi appeared.

"Good work, Shizune. I like your style. Pick you up at 8, okay?" Shizune nodded, and Kakashi disappeared.

"I have a date tonight! It's all thanks to you, Sakura-chan." The woman then returned to advertising the Uchiha for Tsunade-sama.

A/N: Shizune and Kakashi, on a date? Shikamaru upset at Sakura? Sasuke strapped to a bullseye for money (Not in that way, perverts! Dx)? What will happen next?

Review, please! It'll get you a new chapter faster!
