I Can't Get You Off My Mind

Author's Note: Hey guys! I love you guys for reviewing!:) I was bored so I decided to write chapter 2! Enjoy:P

Ino's pov:

'It's been a week since Shikamaru and Yoshino were living with us. Shikamaru's room was across from mine and of course Yoshino is staying at my dad's room. In the first couple of days I was living in hell, but I pulled it off and made his home as hell too. Today's was the wedding day. I already arrived at the wedding with Yoshino, but I haven't seen Shikamaru.

Shikamaru's Pov:

Shikamaru and Choji arrived at the wedding in time. It was taken place outside, with chairs all over. It had nice decorations and they're lots of camera guys to take pictures. It was nice grassy area.

"I wonder where Ino at." Choji asked.

"Hn, she's probably here by now…." Shikamaru replied. He looked around and he saw a familiar faces and unknown faces. Those familiar faces were his relatives and those unknown faces were Ino's relatives.

Choji elbowed him, "Hey, is that… her?" He pointed at the girl.

Shikamaru looked to where he was pointing at and his jaw was wide open when he saw Ino. 'No way, that can't be Blondie… is it?' He glances at Ino up and down and he had to admit, she was beautiful. She was wearing a purple tube dress that was up to her mid-thigh. So it showed off her legs that Shikamaru can't take his eyes off of them. She put her gorgeous hair down that was up to her belly button and it was curled. She clipped her bangs to the side with a fake purple rose. Shikamaru couldn't help thinking that she actually looked perfect today. She was flawless.

He shook his head because Ino was coming his way. He stayed cool and tries not to resist her.

Choji smiled, "Wow, Ino… you look good."

She smiled back, "Aww, thanks Choji; you cleaned up good." She glances at Shikamaru. She had to admit he looked cute, but she didn't want to tell him that. "You look, umm nice."

Shikamaru surprised that she said that. "Thanks I guess, you look beau-… err nice too."

She smiled and thanked him.

Shikamaru was already seated with Choji at his right and Ino at his left. He should be listening to the priest talking, but he was staring at Ino's legs. 'Damn, why can't I take my eyes off Blondie's legs? They're attractive. Kiba and Naruto were right, Blondie had sexy legs and-… ugh I'm turning in to a perv.'

Now the wedding was in a different area, but it was still outside filled with nice tables. Shikamaru, Choji, and Ino were all sitting in one table. Ino was sitting across from them. It was getting dark, probably it was midnight.

"So you don't mind if I talk to your cousin?" Choji asked his lazy friend.

Shikamaru groaned, "Choji, for the million times; I don't mind. Go ahead, go talk to her."

Choji smiled and he got up from his seat, "Thanks Shikamaru, but what; what's her name?"

"Ami."

Choji smiled once more and got up to talk to Ami. After a long time being gone, Shikamaru realize that he was alone with Ino. He prayed that Choji will hurry up and come back to his seat.

"Hey Shikamaru-.." She interrupts his thoughts. 'What does she want?' He looked up at her, listening to what she's about to say. "It's rude to stare."

'I was staring at her? Since when?'

She continued, "I know it's hard to stop staring at me, since you know, I'm beautiful." She laughed.

He smiled, "Actually, I was staring at you because you got some green stuff in your teeth." He lied. "You should clean that you before people think that you don't brush your teeth." He started to laugh.

Ino frustrated at his little comment, "Shut up, idiot." She took her mirror out and she saw her reflection, but she didn't see any green stuff in her teeth. She closed her mirror and glance at him, "Hey I don't have-….."

She got cut off by a voice behind her, "Hey princess."

Ino looked behind her and saw a white guy with white hair and blue eyes. He took a seat next to Ino and put his arm around her chair.

Shikamaru rolled his eyes, "What do you want, Suigetsu?"

He smirked, "Now now, Cuuuzz; I just want to have a nice conversation with Miss Sexy." He winked at her.

Ino rolled her eyes and she took his arm that was wrapped around her waist off of her. "Sorry, I have a boyfriend." She said with an annoy voice.

He smirked, "And I have a math test tomorrow."

Ino had a confused look and Shikamaru hearing this didn't know what he was talking about. "I don't get it." She said.

"Aren't we on the same page?" Suigetsu questioned. "You know naming things that we both can cheat on."

Shikamaru chuckled at his comment. 'Still the same old Suigetsu I knew.'

Ino anger at this kept her cool. "I'm not planning on cheating on my amazing boyfriend nor am I interested in you."

He laughed, "Hmm, I never go rejected, but oh well." He stood up about to leave, "Whoever this guy is, he's a very lucky guy." He walked away from them.

Shikamaru cleared his throat trying to get her attention. She looked at him. "He's my cousin, he was being stupid."

"Maybe he got his stupidness from you." She teased him.

"Hmm, that's a first. Last time I checked my report card, I made sure I got straight A's." He replied.

"There's no way you got straight A's, what's your IQ?" She asked.

"200."

Her eye's widen, "Damn, I never knew you were that smart. Maybe you should tutor me sometime."

"Yeah, yeah whatever." He said sarcastically.

Just then, they heard loud music. It was a slow song, causing all the lovers to the dance floor to dance. Shikamaru looked around and find his chubby pal dancing with his cousin, Ami, together, close. Everyone was dancing except for him and Blondie.

Ino feeling uncomfortable about this decided to leave the table, "Umm, I'm going to the bathroom." She walked away, but someone stopped her. "Uncle Mel?" He was in front of her.

He smiled, "Ino, it's been too long; I haven't seen you for a while."

"Yeah, same here." She replied.

He looked around and back at her, "How come you're not dancing."

"Oh, I don't-…"

He cut her off and pulled her arm back to the table she and Shikamaru were sitting at. "Hey, why won't you dance with this young man?" He asked her.

Shikamaru hearing this looked at them, "Umm sir, I don't-… Hey what are you doing?" Shikamaru was being pulled by Uncle Mel making him stand up.

Ino seeing this turned red. 'This can't not be happening.' "Umm, Uncle Mel; I really need to-…."

He cut her off again, "Here, Ino I found you a dancing buddy." He pulled Shikamaru and pushed him towards Ino making them close together. "It's a slow song, so you guys should dance hand in hand." He gently grabbed Ino's hand and placed it around Shikamaru's neck and he grabbed Shikamaru's hands placed it around her waist. "There, that should do it." He walked away leaving them blushing. 'I'm the best Uncle ever!' He laughed and walked to his wife and he dance with her.

Ino looked away from him and he too looked away from her. But they still dance. 'Damn, I wish this song could end soon.'

Shikamaru was feeling uncomfortable about this. His hands were touching Ino's waist and her hands were around his neck. 'This song is taking forever to end. I wonder what Sasuke will think if he found out I'm dancing with Blondie.' Shikamaru looked at Ino's face. 'At lease I could see her face up close.' He smiled when her face was red. 'She looks pretty cute when she's blushing.'

Ino notice he was staring at her and that is causing her to blush even more. She turned to him, "Baka, s-stop staring at me."

He rolled his eyes, 'Why the hell are we even dancing if I can't even stare at her? This is so troublesome.' Shikamaru gently pushed away. Ino didn't know what he was doing so she took her arms away from his neck and back to her side. "I don't want to dance with you."

Ino hearing this turned really mad. "Oh, so you think I wanna dance with you? I rather dance with Choji!" She yelled at him and went back to her seat.

Shikamaru walked somewhere far away from Ino. He found a nice peaceful place. It was under a tree and there was a bench. He took a seat and look at the sky. 'She is too troublesome.' Suddenly, he received a text from his phone. He smiled and he read the text.

"Hey Shikamaru, how's the wedding? I hope Ino not causing any problems, is she?(:"

From: Sakura

Shikamaru couldn't help, but kept on smiling. If anyone sees him like this, they might think he's a weirdo because of his freaky smile. The reason why he's acting like this because he has a little crush on Sakura. He had a thing for her since 9th grade. Right now, he's in 12th grade and he still hasn't confessed to her. The only person who knows about this is, of course Choji. He didn't tell the others because he wanted only one person who he can trust to know. And that is Choji. He quickly replied his text.

To Sakura:

"The wedding is great. Lot's of ppl there. Blondie and I only had a small fight, but it's no big deal. All I need to do is stay away from her. So what are you doing?"

After he sends it, he put his phone down and he waits for a reply. He looked around and views the nice area. There were nice rich flowers everywhere. "Sure is nice out."

"You got that right." A voice behind him said. Shikamaru turned around to see who it was. He looked closer and he sigh, "Choji? What are you doing here?"

Choji took a seat next to him and relaxed with him, "I should be asking you the same thing."

"I just wanted to be alone." He replied. He heard his phone go beep and he quickly grabbed it. He flipped it and read it.

"Let me guess." He smirked, "It's from Sakura."

"Yeah we have been texting." He starts typing.

"What did she say?" Choji asked.

Shikamaru sigh and he starts reading the text message out loud. "It says,"

"Lol, instead of staying away from her, get to know her. :D Anyways, I'm texting you… and I'm texting NARUTO!3333"

From: Sakura

Shikamaru felt pain when she's talking about Naruto. He remembers Sakura telling him that she had a crush on Naruto. Shikamaru pretended he didn't care, but really he was a little upset.

Choji notice his friend was frowning. After when he read 'I'm texting Naruto,' he feels upset about that. He patted his back, "It's okay man; you can still win her heart."

He sighs, "And how do I do that?" Shikamaru asked.

Choji thought about it. Once he got the answer he finally spoke. "Easy. Make her jealous."

"Jealous?"

"Yeah, you know; go out with another girl."

"How is dating a girl going to make her jealous?" Shikamaru questioned.

"By holding hands with her, having fun with her, and when Sakura realize how romantic guy you are she'll start liking you." Choji said.

Shikamaru thought about it. Using a girl just so the girl of his dreams will fall for him? 'Should I do it? It might actually work. If I could show Sakura how fun I would be around a girl then Sakura would probably feel jealous. But there's only one problem. Who will be the girl?' He turned to Choji, "I'll do it, but who will be the girl?"

"Hmm, what about TenTen?" Choji asked.

"I think she has a thing for Neji." Shikamaru replied.

"Hinata?"

"Nah, Kiba said that he likes her."

Choji got up from the bench, "Well, I don't know any more girls, so you're on your own of finding the perfect girl." He looked at his watch to check the time. "We should get going, it's cake time."

Shikamaru smiled, "Right, let's go." The two boys went back to the wedding to grab some cake.

Shikamaru waved once more to the happy couple. They were in a limo and headed towards the airport. They were having their honeymoon at Hawaii for a week. So that means he will be home alone with the annoying troublesome blond for the whole week! He asked his mom if he could come, but of course she said no. He watched as they were driving away. He remember what Inoichi told him when he was about to leave.

Flashback:

While Inoichi and his new wife were already seated in the car, he pulled his window down. "Shikamaru!" He yelled out.

Shikamaru hearing this walked up to him. "Yes?"

"We'll be gone for a week-…"

"I know my mom told me." He cut him off.

Inoichi looked straight to his eyes, "Listen here, son. When I'm gone I want you to take care of my little princess. Make sure she doesn't bring any boy at home especially her boyfriend. I don't trust him, yet. I trust you and I'm putting her in your hands."

Shikamaru gulped, "Y-Yes sir, I'll make sure she's safe and sound."

He smiled, "That's good to hear."

Shikamaru turned back, but Inochi kept talking. He stayed and listened.

Inoichi continued, "And if something bad happen to my little angel then… you lost my trust."

Shikamaru gulped once more. He heard him laughing.

"Well bye Nara. Remember take good care of my daughter."

End of Flashback

Shikamaru walked to his car and starts driving home. He kept thinking about what Inoichi told him. You lost my trust. 'What if something did happen to Blondie? I'm responsible for her? She better not cause any problems.'

Author's Note: Hey Guys! Phew, I'm tired writing chapter 2, but it was worth it. Inoichi was kind of harsh to Shikamaru, but that's his job. Lol. So who will be the girl that Shikamaru will pretend to go out with? Hmm, I guess you have to find out in the next chapter. Thanks for reading and remember review! More reviews, more chapters:) !

Here's a little SNEAK PEAK for chapter 3:

"Where do you think you're going?" Shikamaru asked walking towards the blonde girl.

"It's Saturday, I have a date with Sasuke." Ino replied while grabbing her purse.

"Get the hell away from me!" Ino screamed her loudest, but it was no use. No one could heard her. She tried to escape, but she was pin against the wall.

The perverted man looked at her, "Now, now, there's no use of screaming. Be a good girl tonight." He said stepping closer to her. He was inches away from her about to tear her dress out, but something stopped him.

"You heard her, get the hell away from her."

"S-Shikamaru?" Ino stuttered.
