Shikamaru paced around the old Team 10 training grounds. He had ask Ino to meet him by noon, but he got there early. Within ten minutes, he started to pace because he became worried that he might say something stupid to her again.

He has no idea how long he began to pace, and he looked around frantically to see if she was coming.

Why was Shikamaru so nervous? Well, just two weeks ago, he found out he was in love with Ino. How did this happen? Well let's look back on the events to what had happen.

1: He followed Ino to see her getting stronger, but always got caught by Harume, but that didn't stop him from continuing to see.

2: He was ticked off that Kiba confronted him about Ino.

3: He missed her long hair.

4: He felt hurt when he saw Ino and Kiba being around each other all the time.

5: He took the hit of a kunai for her, protecting her.

6: He didn't like the way the prince was looking at Ino.

Six reasons why he suddenly fell inlove with Ino.

Shikamaru stopped his pacing and looked up at the clouds that threaten to rain. Well geez, rain usually ment something sad. Well you know what they say, karma is bitch, and Shikamaru had finally been hit by it.

Shikamaru turned his head to see Ino coming towards him. His breathing began to be off, he felt his heart pounding rapidly, now that she was here, how will he start?

Ino stopped in front of him by a few feet, she stared at him, and he stared back.

"So why did you call me out here?" Ino asked.

Shikamaru opened his mouth, but closed it. He had to start out slow. "I....I want to...apologize, for being such an ass towards you. I'm sorry I don't know what I was thinking, and -"

"It's okay."

"What?"

"I accept your apology."

Shikamaru was quiet for a moment, "Thank you." He said. Ino nodded. They both stood there, and then Ino took a step back to walk away, however, Shikamaru stopped her from leaving.

"You want to tell me something, don't you?" Shikamaru asked.

"It's not really important so-"

"Just tell me."

Ino stayed quiet for a good full minute, trying to get the words out of her mouth. "Shikamaru I..... I...."

"You what?" The sky began to rain, lightly pouring Ino and Shikamaru. "Well?" Shikamaru asked, wondering why Ino is hesitating so musch.

"I...I love you Shikamaru!!" Ino shouted. Shikamaru widen his eyes at Ino, completely forgetting how cold it became as the rain began to pour harder on them. "I've loved you since before you pushed me out of your life! I tried and tried to get over you, but I couldn't because I love you too much to let you go!! Ino cried, ready to say more, but lips smashed her's to shut her up.

Shikamaru pulled away from Ino and pulled her to his chest. "You troublesome woman. And here I thought I was going to have a hard time saying it. But now I can without struggling. I love you too Ino, and I desprately want you back in my life. I was stupid to have pushed you out of my life, I was an idiot about not thinking twice about what I've done. I want you back Ino."

Ino felt over joyed hearing him, she pulled away from his embrace and kissed him with full passion and love, and he returned the same. They pulled away in desprate need of air. Shikamaru wrapped his arms around Ino and began to walk her home, both not caring how hard the rain was wetting them.

About few minutes later, Ino opened her door and walked in. Shikamaru stood by the door way, and Ino stood in front of him. Both just loked into each other's eyes.

"I want to take you out tomorrow." Shikamaru said.

"I'll gladly go." Ino replied.

Shikamaru leaned down to kiss Ino, and said goodbye to her. Ino closed her door, and smiled happily.

(1 week later)

Harume's eyes were wide like sausers. She was walking down the street untill she spotted Shikamaru, with his arm around Ino!?!?!

"A WEEK!? AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME!?!?! HOW COULD YOU INO!?!?!" Harume screamed, well once you realize it, she most likely wailed.

"Sorry, I thought you might be mad."

"OF COUSRE I'M MAD! YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!! I DON'T CARE IF YOU DATE HIM OR SOME OTHER DUDE, BUT YOU GOTTA TELL ME!!!"

"Okay stop screaming! You're hurting ears." Ino rubbed her ears.

"My bad. Anyway I gotta go. Got another mission in an hour. See ya later! And congradulations!!" Harume ran and waved goodbye.

"Well that was interesting." Shikamaru said after a moment of an awkward silence. Ino giggled.

She was happy, and nothing could break her anymore, for her heart began to heal. This was just the begining of their relationship, and both wanted to spend their happy lives togther.
