Chapter 6: First kiss

Shikamaru POV.

Flashback

I sighed. Finally a break…it's so peaceful out here…thank god for no noise... I looked up at the sky as cheery blossoms fell around me. The cherry blossom festival is too troublesome to go to…too many troublesome people… I sighed again as I closed my eyes enjoying the peace until a voice pierced the silence.

"Shika-kun!" I jolted awake as I heard someone call out my name. Of course I knew who it was without even looking. It was that troublesome Ino Yamanaka… I sighed. 'So much for my peace…

"What is it, troublesome woman?" I said as I lied back down again not even bothering to look at her.

"Well, I was wondering what you were doing out here? Aren't you going to the festival with everyone else?" she asked while plopping herself down beside me. "I mean its going to be a lot of fun!"

"Nah…it's too troublesome" I replied in a monotone, closing my eyes again. "What's the point in going?"

"Aww come on Shika-kun! Please!" she pleaded.

"No"

"If you won't go with me then I'll force you to!" Ino then grabbed me by the arm but since I was stronger than her I ended up pulling her down making her fall right on top of me. I blushed and so did Ino. I never looked at her until now. She was wearing a lilac blue yukata (A/N: it's like a kimono if u didn't know) decorated with white cherry blossoms. Her hair was up in a bun with a few strands loosely around her face. She looked gorgeous. My lips were inches apart from hers. As I about to let my body take over and kiss Ino, they were interrupted as she spoke. "I-I'm sorry Shika…"

Ino POV.

Ohmigosh! I cannot believe I just did that! I'm such an idiot! I can't believe I'm in this situation right now! Our lips are like inches apart! Oh god he probably hates me now…I shouldn't have forced him too…I sighed. I guess I just wanted him to have fun with me…I started to get up off Shika when I felt his hands stop me and pull me down resuming our position.

I felt my face go hot again as Shika struggled with his words. "Ino-chan… um…y-you look really pretty in your yukata." I felt as though my heart was doing summersaults. My face grew even hotter.

"Thanks Shika-kun…"I said, still blushing. I looked at him. He was blushing too. He looks so cute… I sat up as he did also. I looked away, but I then felt his hand on my face as he turned my face to his. I couldn't help but notice how close our faces were, and that he looked so much better up close. The next thing I knew he pulled me into a warm and tender kiss. At first I was so nervous that I forgot to close my eyes, but it was so warm and welcoming that I closed me eyes, wrapping my arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. I lost all my thoughts of where we were, and what we were doing. I was lost in a world of just Shikamaru and me. The kiss lasted longer than it should have, even though it felt short. After we stopped reluctantly to catch our breath, I saw the cherry blossoms were falling around us...I then looked at Shika's blushing face. I blushed too as I spoke. "Shi-Shika-kun? Th-that was my first kiss…"

"Mine too…"Shika said, wrapping his arms around me as I put my head down on his shoulder. The festival was long forgotten.

End of flashback

"Shika-kun? What did happen between us? I mean, didn't you love me?" I asked as I bit my lip, a nasty habit I resurrected when I am nervous.

Shikamaru POV.

"We just got really busy sometimes…not being able to see each other, especially when I had to be an examiner for the chunnin exams. You have to teach at the academy. We just got really caught up in our own lives…Then one day you and Sai went to a mission together which really brought you guys together…after that I was always there for you, supporting you from the sidelines as you went off with other guys…I was your best friend, always being there for you…back then I just didn't notice how important you were in my life or how much I loved you until Chouji finally told me…" I explained it to her as she absorbed every word I was saying. I then remembered when I was at the mall and about Kenji. Should I tell her? She would get so heartbroken, but I guess it would be even worse in the end when she finally realizes it… "And Ino…there's one more thing I haven't told you…"

"What?" she asked.

"Well Kenji… he's not as sweet as you think he is…" I watched her expression change into a confused and hurt one, tears were starting to well up in her eyes. I couldn't bear to see her like this, but she had to know…

"Wha-what do you mean!?"

"Well…I heard from Ami that she used to date him and the whole time he was cheating on her…" tears were now falling down her face…damn it!

Ino POV.

Is it really true? Is he cheating on me?! No he would never do that! Right? Tears were now falling down my face. "Ken-Kenji-kun would never do that to me! He loves me very much! So you shouldn't talk crap about him" I turned around and started running. I heard him call out my name but I didn't bother to turn around. He didn't bother chasing after me for he knew nothing would come out of it.

Was Shika-kun lying to me? Is Kenji really cheating on me? I can't take this anymore! Who can I trust! My boyfriend or my best friend… but who's ever right… I can't handle with this right now…
