Chapter 4: Guesses and Secret crushes

Normal POV.

Shikamaru was walking home from the long day at the mall with Sakura, Tenten and Hinata. He was in deep thought so he didn't realize when he bumped into someone which sent them straight to the ground. "Hey! Watch where your-oh-S-Shika-kun?"

"Ino?" Shikamaru said as he recognized the voice and responded by holding out his hand to her as she took it. "Sorry about that. You okay?"

"I'm fine but, I will feel a lot better if you treat me to Ichiraku for dinner" Ino said with a mischievous grin plastered on her peach-colored face.

Shika smiled and chuckled a bit. "Troublesome but sure, why not." They then made their way to Ichiraku's ramen.

"So…Shika how have you been these days?" Ino asked, looking up at him as he looked at the clouds.

Shika POV.

"You know… the usual." I said leaving out the part about Team STH. Now that would be troublesome if she knew… "What about you?"

"Well, you know how I'm with Kenji-kun? Well he's so sweet! I really think he could be the one for me!"

While I heard these words I felt that same hint of jealousy come back to me. Chouji was right.

"I see." I said as I clenched my fists, trying to hide my anger and jealousy.

"I mean he's really sweet, caring, really romantic, and well… he just perfect!" Ino said with a dreamy sigh.

Go to hell Kenji! The inner Shika was saying as he boiling inside, burning up a Kenji doll. I tried my best to keep my emotions inside me.

"Well enough about me, what about you Shika? Have anyone special? Cause you know…these days you always look like there something on your mind…so spill" Ino asked smirking.

I didn't want to say it was her, yet another side of me did and wanted to sweep her off her feet and kiss her right there on the spot. But no, I couldn't do that; I wouldn't want her mad at me. For only god knows if I'll be able to survive. Instead I said, "Yeah…I do…"

Normal POV.

"Tell me?" Ino asked obviously interested.

"No…why do you want to know?" Shika said, and he smirked a bit.

"Fine, I'll guess then" she said playfully ignoring his question.

"Why not but I'm only answering yes or no questions"

"Fine but remember you owe me!" Ino said as she spotted Ichiraku and dragged Shika over there to an empty chair.

"Well hello there! What would like today?" Ayame asked.

"Miso Ramen" they both said. (A/N: thxs Aki for finding me a ramen!!! Lols!!! It was rly hard!!!)

"Ok, 2 bowls of ramen Miso Ramen coming up"

"Ok Shika where were we? Oh yeah! To guess the girl!" she said smiling.

"Go ahead"

Ayame came back and gave them there ramen and went to tend another customer. They stated eating there ramen when Ino asked a question.

Ino POV.

"Is she brunette?"

"Fortunately not"

"Blond?"

"Yes"

Hmmm she's blond…wow just like me!

"Bossy?"

"Troublesome but I like that about her"

I laughed as my brain was thinking. So blonde…bossy…hmm…

"Lazy?"

"Definitely not"

Hmm…not lazy eh?

"Cute?"

"No, hot"

I laughed again.

"Does she like pudding?"

"What kind of question is that? But yeah she does…"

I laughed at my stupid question. So she likes pudding! Ha-ha! So do I…hmm…

"So what do you think she would be doing right now?"

"That's not a yes or no question but if you really want to know…she would be having dinner with me right now."

I stopped eating, shocked. Could it be that the person I've been guessing about all this time me!? No it can't be but all the clues lead to me! I looked at his face. He looked serious. I bit my lip. "Shi-Shika?"

"Ino I want to show you something and there I'll explain."

"Fine but you promise to?"

"Yea"

Shikamaru paid Ayame and took my hand and guided the way. My head was going in circles. Omg! So the girl he was describing was me! He thinks I'm hot! Omg what am I going to do! I have a boyfriend! Why does this have to happen to me! I mean if I tell Shika-kun off he might not be my friend anymore and if I break if off with Kenji-kun he might think that I'm one of those girls who just plays around with guys and dumps then every time a new, hotter guy comes along! Holy crap! What am I going to do!

Shika POV.

I took Ino's hand guided her to the place we knew best. The most special place for both us. The place where we first met…
