Ino was sitting behind the counter at her families flower shop, flipping through a magazine that really held nothing of interest for her, as she had read it many, many times. 'Today is a slow buissenus day' she thought, idly flipping the sleek page of the magazine. 'Ding' She sat up straight and put on her polite smile. "Good afternoon! Welcome to the Yamanaka flowershop, just let me know if there is anything I can do for-" she stopped when she saw who it was. "Oh, its just you forehead. How ya doing?" Ino asked, giving her friend a happy smile. "Oh, I am fine Ino-pig, I was just woried about you, since you were so upset last time we talked...but you seem okay right now. Anything I should know about?" Sakura asked, leaning against the counter, giving her best friend an inquiring look.

"Oooh, nothing really. Except that I got a boyfriend!" Ino squealed out. "You got him!? You got Shikamaru?!" Sakura asked, green eyes widening at Ino's nod. "Yesterday you were going on about it like you would never get him! What happened?" the pinkette demanded enthusiasticly. "Well, Last night Shikamaru came to my room to bring me to Chouji's house, he had eaten himself sick again. And Shikamaru walked me back and helped me carry my things. When we got to my house we climbed back up to my bedroom window and he went and lay down on my bed while I put all my stuff away. And all I could think was 'shikamaru is in my room and laying on my bed...OH. MY. KAMI!' Then I took off my robe and when I turned around I realized he was checking me out!" Sakura leaned forward, completely into the story. Ino took in a gasp of air so she could keep talking. "Then I was like 'are you okay shikamaru?' and he was like 'yeah' so I sat down on the edge of the bed and was like 'you sure look cozy' or something like that and he was like 'yeah I might just have to steal your bed.' And I said 'No, anything but the bed!' The nhe sits up and looks up at me and says 'anything?' and I was like 'what!?' Then he leans over and kissed me! We actually made out for a while and no, we didnt have sex!" Ino added when she saw sakuras nervous look. "Anyway, there was kissing, rubbing and stuff like that...I never felt so good in my whole life than I did in that moment with Shikamaru. Then this morning we went over to his house for breakfast with chouji's family as well. We told chouji and he was suprised. Did you know Shikamaru has liked me for two whole years?"

Ino was out of breath after telling her story. Sakura was in shock. "Wow, Ino! I am so happy for you! This is great! What do you guys parents think?" Ino smiled sheepishly, "Uh, well they dont know." Sakura frowned. "Why havent you told them?" Ino huffed. "Because we have only been together one day. We will tell them eventually, just when we are ready for them to know."

"Oh and guess what that jerk did last night also?" Ino grumbled. "What?" her friend asked. "This!" Ino pouted as she pulled back her hair from her neck. "Daaamn." Sakura murmered when she saw the mark. "I was wondering why you were wearing your hair down, usually you dont. Heh heh" Sakura laughed at the end. "Its not funny! My dad almost saw it this morning!" Sakura just laughed even harder. "Bitch." Ino muttered. Sakura smirked at her "No need to go and call me names, come on Ino, its funny!" she paused, "Hey, did you ever think to use your medical ninjutsu to heal it?" Ino's eyes widened "Why the hell didnt I think of that?!"

2 weeks later

Ino was smiling as she made her way to the Nara household. She and Shikamaru had been dating for two weeks now, and they were both very happy with their situation. So far the only people who knew were Chouji and Sakura, and the young couple were trying to decide when they wanted to come out and announce their relationship to their family and other friends. "Well, that line of thoughts can wait for later" she said to herself, with a smile.

She and Shikamaru had taken to getting together when their parents were out of the house. They would go over to whichever house was currently unoccupied and watch movies and talk, which was more of Ino talking and Shikamaru listening and commenting occasionally, and Ino's favorite, snuggling. Shikamaru could be suprisingly snuggly and affectionate, which suprised Ino, but she loved it. They would also go out on dates, inconspicuosly ofcourse, but dates all the same.

As she got to her boyfriends house she knocked three quick raps on the door and stood back, waiting. A moment later the door opened and she saw man of her thoughts standing there and smiling at her. "Hey, come on in." he said as he gently pulled her in and shut the door behind them. "Hey Shika!" Ino chirped and stood on her tiptoes to press her lips against his for a quick kiss. Shikamaru kissed her back then pulled away smiling. "How are you doing?" he asked as he pulled her up the stairs to his room. "Oh, good, fortunantley the flower shop wasnt very busy today so mom let me off early. And I am with you, so it is an even better day now!" Ino said smiling brightly. Shikamaru, just rolled his eyes and smirked. "So what do you want to do today?" he asked when they reached his room. "I think I want a relaxing day. Sitting around and doing nothing."

"Sounds good to me." he said in his normal monotone voice. "Of course it sounds good to you! Your lazy-boy!" Ino giggled out. Shikamaru just scoffed teasingly. Shikamaru went and collapsed onto his bed and threw an arm over his eyes. Ino shook her head, then walked over and snuggled up beside him. "Mmm, your warm." She mummbled as she laid her arm over his torso and rested her head against his chest. "Hn." was the reply she got. Pursing her lips she tried to think of something that would get his attention on her. 'Aha' she thought as a smirk made its way on her face.

She scooted up slightly and leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on his throat. He jumped slightly and moved his arm off his face and raised an eyebrow at her curiously. She just smiled and leaned in and nipped along his jawline. Shikamaru shifted so he was leaning over her. He sought out her lips and pressed his against hers and their lips moved back and forth along eachothers. Shikamaru prodded her lips with his tongue, then slipped it in when she opened hers. "Mmmm" she moaned as his tongue tangled with hers. She moved her lips from his and started kissing down his jaw to his neck, then his collar bone where she nipped sharply. "Unn!" shikamaru grunted in pleasure and sighed gently when she soothingly licked the spot. Ino slowly slipped her hands under his shirt and ran them across his well defined chest, she scraped her nails lightly across his stomach, smiling when she felt his muscles ripple from her touch. Slowly she slipped a finger under his pants waistline and felt him stiffen. Sliding it along the waistline she slowly streched it back and then let it snap back into place. Shikamaru let out a hiss at the pleasure-pain feeling. "Hmmm" Ino hummed amused. Shikamaru frowned slightly, then smirked deviously and decided to get even. He moved his hand under her own shirt, and teasingly ran his fingers up her stomach to her bra. He softly rubbed his thumb over her clothed nipple and smiled when she let out a hum of pleasure. Slowly, he started slipping his hand under her bra. Ino stiffened. They had never gone this far before. "Its okay, everythings fine" he murmred lovingly in her ear and placed a quick kiss on her nose and pressed his lips to hers again. His hand moved under he bra again and brushed over her nipple again. At her soft sound of approval, he gently tweaked it. "Ooh" Ino cooed at the feeling. Shikamaru pulled his hand away and chuckled at her whine of displeasure. He grasped the edge of her shirt and pulled it up to under her braline. Looking at the petite woman underneath him, he waited for a sign that he could go on. She nervously nodded and lifted her arms. He slipped it off of her and stared at her newly revealed form. She was wearing a dark purple bra that had sheer black lace sewn over the purple. His eyes drank in her form, all the way from her only slightly revealed breasts to her firm yet soft stomach and down to her covered hips.

Ino was getting self consious with his staring and moved her arms over her chest. Shikamaru shook his head at this action. "Ino, dont hide from me, you are beautiful. Perfect." he whispered to her. She moved her arms from her chest and smiled softly at him. He really was an amazing guy. Shikamaru smiled back at her then placed a kiss on her belly button. "Oh!" she gasped in suprise. He looked up at her eyes and smirked, then continued his minstrations. He pulled her thigh up around his waist and pressed his hardened manhood against her heated center then kissed all around her stomach, leaving small lovebites every so often. When he got to her skirtline Ino sucked in a sharp breath. He ran his tongue along her waist and she moaned at the feeling. Slowly, Shikamaru trailed his tongue wetly up her torso, and paused when he reached the tops of her covered breasts. He placed light kisses over them and then raised his lips to her throat, sucking heavily, leaving a large mark that he continued to make darker by nipping and sucking some more. "Aah...ooohhh..Mmmm" Ino was moaning and gasping heavily as he kissed and sucked her neck and rubbed her inner thigh with his thumb. She ran her fingers through his hair, as his hair tie had come out quite a while ago. She gave a light tug and shikamaru let out a groan and started kissing under her ear. "Oh Shika, mmmm!" She murmmerd loudly.

"What the hell?!" came a shocked voice, that had Ino and Shikamaru whiping their heads around. At the door was standing a very shocked Shikaku. "Dad!" Shikamaru winced, and sat up off of Ino, who was sitting up now as well with Shikamaru's sheet covering her chest. They were both panting heavily and looked very disshevled. "What the hell is going on here?!" Shikaku asked, eyes wide. "Uhh..." was Shikamaru's genius reply. "Were you two about to..." he trailed off. "What? Oh! No, no! We wern't!" the young Nara exclaimed while shaking his head. "What are you doing back...you were supposed to be gone for another..." shikamaru glanced at the clock, "...hour?"

Shikaku frowned "Well it sure looks like you were! What the hell do you think you are doing?!" He stated, ignoring his sons question. "You...I...ugh. Get up. And Ino, get dressed. You better be dowstairs in two minutes, you hear me? I am going dowstairs...Damn, your mother is going to have a fit..." Shikaku growled out as he walked quickly out of the room. "Fuck!" Shikamaru said angrily. "Oh my kami!" Ino cried out softly as she slipped out of bed and put her shirt back on. "Shika, I am so sorry, This is my fault! If I hadnt gotten us started then-" She was cut off my Shikamaru pulling her to him gently. "It is not your fault Ino. They came home early...it couldnt be helped." he sighed out. "Come on, lets go get this troublesome thing over with." Ino kissed him softly, "You dont think they will try to make us break up, do you? Because I will not let that happen!" She said determinedly. "I doubt it, dont worry." He muttered as they made their way downstairs quickly and nervously.
