A/N: here's my 2nd chappie! im glad ppl like it!

disclaimer: i don't own naruto... if i did ino would have been with shikamaru way in the beggining, ino would be the main character for the girls instead of sakura and temari didn't like shikamaru.(ppls... just to remind u... i do not hate sakura. i don't like her but i don't hate her. same goes for temari. i only hate orchimaru!)

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

Shikamaru headed to his favorite cloud-watching spot to think about what he was going to do with his problem. He stared at the clear, blue sky, it's soft layer carpeting above; it reminded him a lot of Ino.

She had these beautiful cerulean eyes that he could stare at for eternity. And the sun was as golden as her long blond tresses. If only he knew a way to get her back...

"If only…" Shikamaru muttered to himself. Suddenly a paper blew over to him. It read:

Have problems?

Need help getting a girl you like?

If that's you…

We could help!

Just call this number: 555-8888 (A/N: That' a real phone number people so don't call it! Its hunger hotline My sister once did and it was so funny! Don't try it though! LOL.)

We wish to help you with your problems: Team STH

Shikamaru stared at the flyer, reading over the words again.

"Should I try it?" The lazy-nin wondered out loud. Maybe I should. I wonder if they could help me. Oh well, maybe I could get Ino back with the help of these people."

Shikamaru stood up to leave, glaring at the ground under him. "This is so troublesome" He muttered.

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

When he got home, he headed to his room. He didn't even care what his mom was saying to him about being late.

When Shikamaru reached his room, he picked up the phone and called Team STH.

"Um… hi there, I saw your flyer and well I need your help." He said with sigh.

This is so troublesome.

"Team STH at your service!" The voice boomed through the phone, cheerfully. Shikamaru held the phone away from his ear for a second, "So, tell me: what's your problem?"

"Okay, there's this girl on my team I like and she has just recently got a boyfriend. I really like her and I want her to somehow notice me again but I don't know how!" Shikamaru paused for a second before taking a breath before continuing.

"It's really hard for me and even though a genius like me would never have problems like this, I really don't know what to do!"

The 200 IQ genius came to a pause again, slamming his fist to the wall and gently sighing. " And I just want her back again."

"Aww! That is such cute story! Team STH will definitely be on the case!" the girl on the other line reassured Shikamaru, through a loud,cheery voice.

"Thanks… anyways, who is Team STH? Are you one of them?" Shikamaru asked, curiously with a hint of suspision.

"Yep! I'm Haruno Sakura the rest are…" The kunoichi was interrupted when Shikamaru's shocked voice rand through the phone.

"Haruno Sakura! Are you fucking serious! It's Nara Shikamaru! You're Team STH!" Shikamaru shouted, shocked that it was Sakura who was helping him.

"Oh my God! Shikamaru! And yes I am on Team STH. So are Tenten and Hinata! We made it up together! I cannot believe you having girl troubles! Wait 'till Tenten and Hinata hear that you our next customer!" Sakura shouted, wickedly.

She couldn't wait to help Shikamaru with his girl problems.

"Yeah." Shikamaru said with a sigh. Great, a bunch of women are helping him. " Troublesome."

"So… who's the lucky girl?" Sakura said, trying to surpress her giggle.

"I-it's… um… well…" He stuttered, his cheeks burning a bright red.

"Well spit it out! I do have to know!" Sakura said with curiosity in her voice. She really wanted to know.

"It's… its-Ino." Shikamaru finished off, embarrassed about the situation.

"HOLY CRAP! You like INO? Yamanaka Ino? Oh my God, Shikamaru, I knew it!" Sakura exclaimed while, screaming excitedly.

"Sakura! Would you not scream in the phone! My eardrums feel like their going to burst. This is so troublesome." Shikamaru said in annoyance at the girl screaming in delight.

"And yes, I do like her."

"Ok, so the girl you were talking about this whole time was Ino,right?" Sakura asked,as if she didn't know.

"Duh. " Shikamaru replied, bluntly in a monotone, slightly annoyed.

"Yeah I know but I was just checking if I actually heard you right!" Sakura said with a hidden grin on her face. "So…what's he like? Her new boyfriend I mean" The medic-nin asked, mischief filling her tone of voice.

Shikamaru flinched when he heard the word boyfriend and could feel his tomach twist in knots again.

"His name is Kenji. He has short browm hair, hazel eyes and tanned skin. He's also half a foot taller than Ino so I guess he's the same height as me." Shikamaru explained, boredly, answering Sakura's question.

He didn't really feel like talking about Ino's boyfriend.

"Ohh! He sounds like a hottie! When Ino breaks up with him and goes out with you, I'm going to ask him out! Hell yeah!" Sakura said with a giggle, her Inner Sakura braking out.

Now she really wanted to help Shikamaru to get Ino back now!

"Sakura! Would you focus! What about me!" Shikamaru told Sakura, slightly irritated that she would go off topic and winced when Sakura referred to Kenji as a hottie.

"Don't worry, don't worry I wouldn't forget about my customers! Well… come to think of it, you're my first customer! Isn't that funny!" Sakura said,with a forced giggle.

"Yeah, yeah whatever, so how are you going to help me?" Shikamaru asked, annoyed, trying to stay on topic and also curious of what there actions were going to be on helping him get Ino back from Kenji.

"Well I still need to plan that out with the rest of the team so you can't know until tomorrow. Meet us at the mall at 12:00,okay?" Sakura explained to him, specifically.

She couldn't wait to help him! This was going to be Team STH's first time with matchmaking!

"Ok, see you then; Bye." Shikamaru muttered, glumly as he hung up the phone. Maybe Team STH could help him, even though he was there first customer, they were Ino's girlfriends so they probably know a lot about her but what would they do to get him with Ino?

"Tomorrow is going to a long day..." Shikamaru muttered to himself while plopping into bed, stuffing his head through his pillow.

Suddenly, an image of Ino and Kenji flashed through his head and he abruptly sat himself up on his bed.

Shikamaru took his pillow and fisted his hands. Frustrated, he threw the pillow angrily into the wall.

He sighed to himself as he started to lie down, closing his eyes.

"Troublesome."
