(A/n: ok I know I haven't updated in like months but I'm going to be more frequent because the summer is here!! Yay summer! But anyway I'm really sorry.)
(Ino's POV)
“What in the world is taking him soo long?” I asked no one in particular. I was standing in front Shikamaru's apartment waiting for him he was suppose to come with me so we can pick up a suit for him to wear for Sakura's wedding because I can't trust him to dress on his own because knowing him he'll come in his shinobi attire. But he's taking forever!
“He'll be out in a sec.” Tenten told me from a window.
“I'm counting,” I told her and she pulled her withdrew her head quickly from the window. I can't say I understand that girl half the time that's probably why we don't talk much except for the occasional times where Sakura plans a get together and we're left alone for a second.
“Okay I'm here.” Shikamaru said walking out of the house in his usual bored tone except you could sense the fact that he was annoyed.
“So lets get going you lazy…” I paused for a second to study his pants. “ Shikamaru” I said in a teasing tone “those are some nice pants you have on * snicker * do they come in my size?” I said while pointing to them.
“What are you talking abo… OH GOD!” He said realizing that in his rush to get outside he threw on Tenten's purple sweat pants. After that I couldn't contain my self and soon I was on the floor panting from laughing so hard while he rushed inside to change. This was going to be an interesting day.
(Meanwhile at the Uchiha manor)
“ I'm going to be a crazy cat lady” Karin said to no one in particular lying on the couch. She was petting a kitten Suigetsu found. He named it Fuzzybutt.
“Do you love me Fuzzybutt?” Karin asked but the kitten just ran off to the kitchen.
“ Hey what do you look so down about?” Suigetsu asked walking out off the kitchen he was holding the kitten.
“Oh, your back” was all she said not even looking towards him. He had gone into town earlier to pick up some food.
“Ok then…I picked up the ten foot licorice you asked for,” He said trying to get her to talk. Normally he would just say something insulting to her to get her to talk to him but something told him now was not the right time.
“Thanks” was all she said in a blank tone grabbing it from his hand and walking into the bathroom with it.
“What are you going in there with that for?” he said following her into the bathroom. He watched her throw the licorice over the shower curtain rod and then make a knot in the shape of a noose. It took him a second to realize what she was doing before he said something. “What are you doing? Because if it's trying to kill your self it certainly is a creative way to do it,” He said leaning against the wall nonchalantly. She ignored him and climbed onto the ledge of the bathtub.
“You know I don't think the candy will hold your fat ass.”
“Oh well if it breaks then I'll crack my head on the floor” She retorted.
“You know it's just Sasuke he's not that great, I saw him picking his nose once.” The shark toothed boy said in attempt to talk her out of it.
“He was the only person I ever loved.”
“You said the same thing about Kabuto when you were 12 and then Kimimaru when you turned 14 ”
“You can't talk me out of it Suigetsu so just forget it!” Karin yelled. “Alright whatever you say Lolly pop, I just can't imagine Sasuke 's reaction when I tell him how you died boy are you going to look dumb. I'll be in the kitchen making a penut butter sandwich if you change your mind” Suigetsu said and headed into the kitchen. He began to make two sandwiches when the kitchen door opened behind him. “Oh hey Karin what brings you here?” he said turning towards said girl handing her a sandwich. “Just shut up!”
“Why do you care…” she paused to take a bite of the sandwich. “If I live anyway?”
“Personally I need someone to help pay for the food in the house. You know since we're not allowed to go on missions and all I have is a job at a ramen shop that pays minimum wage …although that blonde boy does leave good tips.” The ex-Mist Nin explained.
“Oh, that all” Karin asked her gaze moved toward the ground.
“Pretty much what were you excepting? For me to proclaim my secret undying love for you because you've definitely got another thing coming.”
“NOBODY ASKED FOR YOUR IMP LOVE SUIGETSU!!” Karin yelled as she pushed him against the wall so hard he hit his head (A/n: talk about alliteration!) and slumped to the floor. “Ouch…” the boy said faintly and Karin went to help him in a panic “You know I was joking with you Karin I actually…” he didn't finish because Karin interrupted “Your bleeding!”
(With Shikamaru and Ino)
“Would you just pick one already!” Shikamaru hollered now losing his patience with the blonde they had been looking threw every clothing store in Konohagakure for hours already because Ino claimed that none of the suits “spoke” to her.
“Just hold a second I found the perfect one!” A muffled voice called from a clothes rack.
“I honestly don't know how this could take so long I mean THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME FOR GOD'S SAKE! He told the Yamanaka. “Sometimes I wish all you girls can be un-troublesome like Tenten she's…” he started but stopped himself when Ino's head suddenly popped out of the clothes rack with a knowing look.
“ Wait don't stop now lover boy, you were saying,” She said with a huge smile. She moved closer still holding the suit.
“No never mind it wasn't important let's just get the stupid suit and go,” Shikamaru said heading toward the cash register in a surprising rush for a lazy guy. “No no no you say for the first time on earth that a girl is not troublesome and except me to drop the subject! No way! You must like-No! You LOVE Tenten don't you?” Ino began to rant. “I should have known the longing looks you gave, all the times you blew me and Choji off for her, the fact you have an attitude when ever Neji's here- Oh wait Neji she likes Neji I don't see why though…” She paused for a second.
“Are you fin-…” Nara started but was cut off by the girls sudden out burst “ I help you!” The Yamanaka said throwing some money on the counter while grabbing the suit and pulling Shika out of the store, “You'll be my date to Sakura's wedding and Tenten will see us get jealous and find out about her hidden love for you! It's a plan pick me up at eight see you then. Bye!” And then she was gone.
“Me and my big mouth” was all the poor boy could say.
