Best Friend
In a small town called Konoha, two young teenagers were best friends. One of them was a male and the other one a girl. The girl's name was Ino Yamanaka. She was 17 years old, she had long blond hair, and blue eyes. The guy's name was Shikamaru Nara. He was 18 years old, he had long brown hair tied up in a pony tail like she did, and brown eyes. Even though Shikamaru was a year older than Ino, they had been friends since they were little. Both were from very rich families so they both knew what it was like to have busy parents.
Shikamaru had picked up Ino for school. Ino's parents didn't let her drive so Shikamaru picked her up every morning but he didn't mind.
"This is stupid. I'm 17 years old! I'm not a baby," Ino said as she frowned.
Shikamaru chuckled but otherwise he stayed silent.
"Why are you so quiet?" Ino asked.
Shikamaru slightly looked to his side where Ino was and smiled.
"No reason," he said.
He looked back at the road.
"You're killing me!!" Ino yelled, making him laugh.
"You sure are talkative today," Shikamaru said, smirking.
Ino rolled her eyes and looked out the window. She didn't know why she was best friends with this guy. He was lazy, selfish, and sometimes, he was a jerk but she loved him. Not like a brother like she wanted to, but like a man. That's right: Ino Yamanaka was in love with her best friend and she knew he didn't like her at all. Shikamaru was one of the hottest guys in their school. There was no way he liked plain, old her. (A/N: I know it's suppost to be the other way... but I like making some changes... it makes them special)
They had finally gotten to their school. Ino took her backpack and walked to class with Shikamaru. They both sat next to each other in their first class while one of the cheerleaders sat on the other side of Shikamaru and started to flirt with him. Ino rolled her eyes and looked away. She hated when girls hit on him. All of the sudden, a girl with long black and blue hair sat beside Ino.
Her name was Nurico Nara. She was Shikamaru's cousin and Ino's other best friend.
"Hey girl!" Nurico greeted as she smiled at Ino.
"Hey," she said, faking a smile.
Nurico raised an eyebrow and looked behind, Ino noticing why she was acting that way.
"Oh boy," Nurico sighed.
"I know. It's not even 8 and they're already all over him," Ino said, rolling her eyes.
Nurico laughed, quietly, to herself. She found it really funny that her cousin and her best friend were in love with each other and didn't do anything about it.
"What's so funny?" Ino asked.
"Oh nothing," Nurico said, still smiling.
"Okay..." Ino said, confused.
At that moment, the teacher came in and started the class.
OoOoOoOoO
Ino was about to fall asleep when the last bell rang, making her jump in her seat.
"Stupid bell," Ino murmured to herself as she picked up her stuff.
She walked to her locker, hugging her books, closely, to her chest.
"Hey," Shikamaru whispered, making her shiver as his hot breath hit her neck.
"Shika you idiot! You scared me!" Ino exclaimed, glaring at him.
"Sorry. Anyway...So...there's this party tonight. Are you going?" Shikamaru asked as they walked back to Shikamaru's car.
"You know I don't like parties," Ino said, rolling her eyes.
"Come on Ino. It would be fun," Shikamaru pleaded.
"You know what happened last time. It's not a great idea," Ino said as she got into Shikamaru's car.
"Please?" Shikamaru asked, putting his puppy eyes on.
Ino glared at him and then flicked his forehead.
"No," she said.
"Geez! Fine, fine," he said and drove Ino to her house.
When they got to Ino's house, they both got out of the car and went directly to her room.
"I am so tired!" Ino said, throwing herself onto the bed.
Shikamaru chuckled and slowly laid himself next to her. Shikamaru slightly looked at her from the corner of the eyes and smirked and before she knew he was on top of her poking her belly,
"Shikamaru, what the hell are you doing!!! Get off!" Ino yelled, pushing him off the bed.
"You didn't need to push me," Shikamaru said, glaring at her.
"Well, who the hell told you you could jump on me?" Ino yelled.
"Don't yell at me!" Shikamaru growled.
"Don't you yell at me! You asshole!" Ino said as she looked away, pissed.
Shikamaru sighed, loudly, and hugged her from behind.
"I'm sorry," Shikamaru said.
"I'm sorry too. I don't like when we fight," Ino said, hugging him back.
Shikamaru smiled as he secretly smelled her hair. He loved the way she was with him. They might fight all the time but man that woman kept him right on his feet.
"Let's watch a movie," Shikamaru suggested.
"Aren't you going to that party?" Ino asked.
"Oh damn it! Right. Well...I'll see you tomorrow okay?" Shikamaru said as he jumped off of Ino's bed.
"Okay. Please call me when you get home after the party," Ino said as they both made their way to the front the house.
"I will. Well, see ya," Shikamaru said.
He walked to his car and drove away.
OoOoOoOoOoO
That night, Ino decided to see a movie while she waited for Shikamaru to call her. All of the sudden, her phone rang.
"Hello?" Ino asked.
"Ino, its me, Nurico. Can you come and look for my cousin? He got drunk and I don't think he can drive," Nurico said.
"Ugh! I knew something was going to happen. I'm on my way," Ino said and hang up.
Ino jumped off her bed and walked to her closet. She got out a pair of jeans, a white shirt, and black jacket. She jumped down her balcony like she did every time she went to Shikamaru's house.
"Stupid Shika! Getting drunk and making me walk to get him," Ino murmured to herself as she made her way to the party.
The girl's house (Where the party was held at) wasn't very far.
"Now where can he be?" Ino asked herself as she got to the house.
There was a lot of drunken people around and Ino did her best to stay away from any drunken, horny guys. It didn't take long to find Shikamaru, but what she saw made her heart ache. Shikamaru was in a corner of a room, making out with the same girl from the first class that morning. Her eyes started to water as she stared at the two teenagers, kissing hungrily.
She was about to turn around and leave but she couldn't leave Shikamaru alone. She went directly to the two teens and pushed the girl away from him.
"Sorry, but I came to take you home," Ino said as she grabbed Shikamaru's hand and started to pull him away.
"Hey Ino!!! Woooo this party is so great!!! Let's dance," Shikamaru said drunkenly.
"No. Come on Shikamaru. I'm taking you home," Ino said in a quiet, sad voice.
She kept pulling him until they got to his car.
"Where are your keys?" Ino asked, turning around to face him.
"Uh... in my pocket," he said while grinning.
He took out the keys from his pocket and smiled.
"I'll drive!!" he yelled and started to dance around.
"Shikamaru GIVE ME THE FUCKING KEYS AND GET IN THE FUCKING CAR!" Ino yelled, making him stop.
Shikamaru stared at Ino for a while and gave her the keys. Shikamaru got in the back seat while Ino went into the front seat and drove back to her house.
OoOoOoOoO
"Do you think you can climb?" Ino asked as they both stood next to the tree that was beside Ino's bedroom.
"I think," Shikamaru said, getting normal again.
Ino nodded and started climbing the tree. When they both stepped in Ino's bedroom, she helped him walk quietly to her bed and lay him down.
"Are you ok?" Ino asked, sitting next to him.
"Yeah... I'm better. Sorry about tonight," Shikamaru said as he looked down.
"Don't worry," Ino said.
Silence filled the room as they both didn't know what to say.
"I really did it this time. She's never going to like me again," Shikamaru said.
Ino stared at him in confusion.
"What?" Ino asked.
"The girl I like. She saw me kissing Kin. She's going to hate me. If I had the smallest chance with her its gone now," Shikamaru said.
This hurt Ino even more. So he liked someone that wasn't her. There was no point. There never was.
"I don't think so. If she likes you, she'll understand. You were drunk after all," Ino said.
"You think so?" Shikamaru asked, looking at her, staring her in the eyes.
"Yes... I'm sure," Ino said as she faked a smile. "Go wash up. You're making me sick," Ino said as she wrinkled her nose in disgust.
"Alright," Shikamaru said and jumped off of the bed.
Ino watched him make his way to the bathroom. She was trying so hard no to break right in front of him so as soon as he closed himself in the bathroom, she started to cry.
It hurt her so much. Even if she always knew he didn't like her, it still hurt.
"Ino?" Shikamaru said from behind.
Ino quickly turned around to find Shikamaru staring at her. She looked away and brush away her tears as quickly as she could.
"What's wrong?" Ino asked as she tried to cover her voice.
"Why are you crying?" Shikamaru asked.
Ino stayed in silence as she thought of an excuse. All of the sudden, she felt someone sitting in front of her. She looked up to find Shikamaru, waiting for her to answer his question.
"It's nothing really," Ino said as she gave him a fake smile.
"Don't you give me a fake smile and tell me it's nothing. I know you. Tell me what's wrong," Shikamaru said.
"It's nothing ok!" Ino yelled.
Shikamaru stared at her for a few minutes before he smirked.
"Ino... how do you really feel about me?" Shikamaru asked.
Ino looked at him in surprise and then looked away.
"Like my best friend," Ino said.
"Really? You know I was kind of hoping you could tell me the truth," Shikamaru said.
"What truth? That is the truth," Ino said.
"No it isn't. You know you can stop lying. I know you love me," Shikamaru said.
Ino stared at him once again, then glared at him.
"Where the hell did you get that?" she asked angrily.
"Because I know you. I know you too well. What hurts me is that you don't know me enough to know that I love you too." Shikamaru said with a smile.
Ino was shocked but then she glared at him again.
"That's not funny!!! You don't say that to people! That's just mean!" Ino yelled.
"What?! I'm telling the truth! Seriously... I don't kid about this stuff Ino. I really do love you!" Shikamaru said.
"Yeah right....if you do have feelings for me then prove it! Kiss me and I'll believe you," Ino challenged him with a smirk.
Ino thought that since he was just bluffing she couldn't tell him why she was crying. He was only going to give up... but she was wrong. A gasp escaped her lips as soon as Shikamaru's lips met her's. Shikamaru took this opportunity and kissed her deeply. He wasn't going to miss this one. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to his chest as soon as he felt her kiss back.
When they both parted away, Ino stared at him with surprise while he had a smug smile on his face.
"Now do you believe me?" Shikamaru asked and Ino answered with a nod.
He still had a firm grip on her waist and kept her close so he could see her face.
"Tell me that you love me," Shikamaru said.
"For what you already know I do," Ino said with a blush.
Ino was still in shock. She couldn't believe how their relationship of friends could be gone so quickly.
"I want to hear you say it," Shikamaru said as he traced his nose against her cheek, making her blush even more.
"That's stupid. I can't say it," Ino said.
"Tell me! I want to hear it!" Shikamaru demanded.
"No... it would sound stupid," Ino said with a frown.
"I don't care! Say it!" Shikamaru said.
"Fine!! I love you!!" Ino said, glaring at him.
Shikamaru smiled.
"That sounded so... sexy. Say it again," Shikamaru said.
"You're a weird person," Ino said as she giggled.
They both smiled at each other. They were happy.
OoOoOoOoO
"I better go before my parents notice that I'm not home yet," Shikamaru said as he stood up, making Ino stand up as well.
"Ok," Ino said softly.
They both walked to Ino's window and looked at each other.
"I'll see you in the morning, ok? I love you," Shikamaru whispered that last part in her ear while he hugged her.
"I love you too," Ino whispered back with a smile.
"Man, I don't think I'll ever get used to that. It drives me crazy," Shikamaru said, making Ino giggle.
"I'll see you tomorrow," Ino said as she rolled her eyes.
Shikamaru smiled and leaned down to give her a kiss and then jumped out of the window.
Ino smiled, happily, to herself. She couldn't believe everything that had happened. She couldn't wait for the next day.
OoOoOoOoO
The next morning, Ino panicked. She didn't know what to wear.
"What if he laughs when he sees me with make up. But if I don't put anything on he might think I don't want to look good for him!!! Aww man this is too hard," Ino said to herself as she looked at herself in the mirror.
After a while of fighting with herself she decided to put on just a little eyeliner. When she was about to open the door to leave, she saw Shikamaru over the window, standing beside his car, waiting for her and once again she panicked.
"How am I supposed to act!? Should I kiss him? Or just play it cool? What should I do? This is to weird, to awkward...maybe if I walk to school I won't see him and the first awkward moment alone won't happen," Ino said.
Ino turned around to leave out the back door when she bumped into her mom who was listening to her.
"What are you doing? Shikamaru's right there! You're not going to walk to school. He's being waiting for you over an hour there," Ino's mom said as she opened the door and pushed Ino outside, making Shikamaru notice them.
"Don't let her go. She was planning on walking to school. The nerve of this girl," Ino's mom said, angrily, as she pushed Ino towards Shikamaru, making him catch her quickly, and then she stomped off into the house.
Shikamaru looked down at Ino.
"Walking to school?" Shikamaru asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"I don't know what it is she's talking about. I was getting some... milk," Ino said, nervously.
"Ino... you hate milk," Shikamaru said as he rolled his eyes.
"Uh... right! I forgot," Ino said.
"Ino, you were planning in skipping out on me weren't you?" Shikamaru asked.
"No! What makes you think that?" Ino asked.
"It was either that or you would run from me as soon as you saw me," Shikamaru said with a chuckle.
"You know me too well," Ino said in defeat, making Shikamaru laugh.
"Ok. So let's get to school," Ino said.
She was about to get into his car when Shikamaru cornered her.
"What's the big idea!?" Ino asked.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" Shikamaru asked.
"... Am I?" Ino asked, confused.
"Where's my good morning kiss?" Shikamaru asked, making her giggle.
"Right. Sorry," Ino said and kissed him.
"Mmmm. I want one every morning," Shikamaru said as he licked his lips.
"And if I don't want to?" Ino asked with a smirk.
"You will. You are addicted to my lips as I am to yours," Shikamaru said, getting even closer.
This made Ino smile.
"True. But I have more willpower," Ino said and brushed her lips against him and got in the car before he could kiss properly.
She heard him chuckle from the outside which made her smirk. She couldn't wait to have more rush with him.
Her Shikamaru, her lover, her best friend.
Well that is the end.
