Shikamaru trudged down the main street of Konoha, hands in his pockets. The wind blew stronger, but it seemed that he alone wasn't affected by the cold. The lights of the many buildings winked at him knowingly, as if they knew something he didn't. The crowd around him thinned, each person making their way home and hoping to get out of the wind and cold. On and on he walked, mind thinking about everything that happened.
D**n...I hate that Naruto guy...what's the point of dragging me out on a mystery date? I don't even know who I'm meeting. Hell, I don't even know if I'm dating a girl. Horrified, Shikamaru pushed that out of his thoughts. It had to be a girl or he would gourge Naruto's eyes out. Okay...maybe not, but I'll do something bad to him. This date is so troublesome. We were supposed to meet outside Ichiraku Ramen, yes? On top of that, I'm not sure if I've ever met the girl in my entire life...What a drag...
So thought Shikamaru as he made his way towards Ichiraku Ramen. He was already ten minutes late, having refused to get out of bed until Naruto's Kage Buushin forced him. Like his thoughts, he had no inclination to meet a girl he had probably never met in his entire life. As if this couldn't get any worse. But aha! It could! Naruto, Sasuke, Neji, anyone even, could tease him about the date. Sure, Shikamaru was teased many times before, but this time it would be something he wasn't proud about. [/blockquote] |

A shower turned off and a blonde girl got out of the bathroom. She dried her hair off and wrapped an other towel around herself wondering about why she had accepted Sakura’s proposition to go on a blind date. She wasn’t that desperate right? She grabbed her hairbrush and started to brush her hair. She was still debating about if she should let them down or not. After a few moments, she decided to let them like they were. Hopefully she wouldn’t get to date someone… ewww… she shuddered about the many possibilities she could’ve been dating in Konohagakure. There were just too many and strangely enough, she knew it wasn’t going to be Sasuke.
She went over to her closet as her hair brushing was done and wondered about what she could wear; certainly not her ninja outfit. It wasn’t appropriated for a date her gaze landed on some skirt and a matching top. This would do she thought changing herself and looking at herself in the mirror. Perfect she thought posing and smiling at herself. At least, if her date was a lame she could go off flirting with some other boys.
She went out and looked at the clock before heading over to Ichiraku. They were supposed to meet there. She was somehow excited wondering about who it might be. The sound of her heels could be heard down the street as her hair followed her movements and the breeze blew slightly into them. She slowly approached to the restaurant as her heart was beating faster. Dieing to know who it’d be… |

This is the first and last time anyone is going to see me in jeans, Shikamaru promised to himself. Yep. The lazy cloud loving guy was wearing jeans, courtesy to none other than the Uzumaki Naruto. How he hated that orange weirdo. He was wearing sneakers instead of Ninja Sandals, and his top was replaced by an open-necked T-shirt. It was surprising how the cold didn't affect him, even while wearing these clothes.
If I ever get hold of Naruto... Shikamaru's thoughts trailed away as Ichiraku Ramen came into view. There was nobody there that looked as if they were waiting for someone, except...Ino? What was she doing here? And dressing so beautifully weirdly too. It must have been troublesome picking out those clothes, he admitted in his mind. "Oi! Ino!" he called, raising a freezing hand as a sign of greeting. "What are you doing here?"
Maybe his date was even later then he was. Somehow, Shikamaru found that unlikely. Or maybe it had been a whole trick and there was no mystery date at all. Shikamaru sighed. He never wanted to go on dates, especially blind ones. It was always so troublesome. His eyes closed slightly, scanning the area for any sign of the girl before crossing the road and walking over to Ichiraku Ramen, and Ino. |

Ino started to walk faster and faster wanting to see right away what would be her date. She arrived near Ichiraku but she didn’t see anyone. She frowned until she saw Shikamaru… what the hell was he doing there? And wearing jeans? She thought he thought it was a pain to wear jeans. She blinked confused of seeing him there and stopped her track, waiting for him to join her.
“And what are you doing there?” she asked back unsure if she wanted to tell him that she was having a date. What would he say if he knew that it was a blind date? Probably find her troublesome for being so desperate to even think of being on a blind date to find love. She looked at him from toes to head thinking that he didn’t look bad at all dressed like that.
All this was going to be weird and she had the feeling that her date wouldn’t show up soon… grrr huge forehead would pay for this one she thought as the inner her lifted her fisted into the air cursing the pink haired girl for making her dress like that for no reasons. |

Shikamaru stood with his hands in his pockets, a dazed expression on his face as he thought. It was possible that this was all a joke. He wouldn't put it past Naruto to do something stupid and troublesome like this. The cold stung, and he made up his mind. He wasn't going to play along with Naruto's stupid game any more. Five more minutes, and if the girl wasn't going to show up, he would go home where he could sleep in peace.
Shikamaru scowled slightly at Ino. Why did she always refuse to answer his question? Nevertheless, he realized now wasn't the time for arguing. "I was..." he hesitated. Ino was so going to tease him for the rest of his life if he told her now he was going on a blind date. Shikamaru scowled slightly. Troublesome. But what could he say? He could at least start at the beginning. "Well, this is all Naruto's type of joke. He told me to come out here and meet some sort of girl. I was supposed to be here ten minutes ago, if you want the truth, but it was so..." he yawned. "...troublesome," he finished. |

Ino crossed her arms over to her chest and waited for Shikamaru to answer to her question. After all, what on earth would he do dressed like that here?! She arched an eyebrow noticing that he was hesitating. Why would he hesitate to tell her why he was there? This whole thing was getting weirder and weirder… she thought but suddenly her eyes widened at what he said.
Her expression switched from horrified, to surprised and to stunned… he couldn’t be her date! Meet some sort of girl , now she was sure he was talking about her! She mentally wanted to shoot herself for being and idiot and accepting Sakura’s suggestion for a date. Argh and Naruto was involved with it! He would pay for that, Hokage or not. She thought as she gritted her teeth.
“Sakura-chan convinced me to go on a blind date…” she said not finishing her sentence being too pissed off to do so while at the same time sighing of relief since it wouldn’t be some freak. But still Shika… she could’ve pick a better choice… |

What was Ino going to say? He was stupid to have even thought of that, let alone agree to it. Well, it wasn't his fault Naruto could produce so many Kage Buushins. Where had he learnt them anyway? The day before he couldn't even do Buushins and the next day he just turns up, hopping around with one leg and bragging about doing Kage Buushins. Except he actually could do it...Ino was so going to tease him about this forever...and that wasn't exactly the life Shikamaru had in mind.
He read her expression somewhat accurately. After spending so much time with Ino, how could he not? Something along the lines of surprised, yes? "What is it?" he asked irritably, not in the mood for one of Ino's jokes, especially considering how cold it was. "Sakura-chan convinced me to go on a blind date..." Shikamaru's mind immediately matched two and two together. "You mean...we couldn't...that bas**** Naruto!" he muttered, staring at her. |

Ino blinked at first then growled at the idea of having to go on a date with Shikamaru… c’mon it was Shikamaru and not a hot Sasuke! Ino was sure that big forehead had done that to keep her away from Sasuke. “Grrr, she’ll pay for that.” She said raising her fist. “ d**n them! d**n both of them! We’ll have to find something to get them back or else I’ll be in a really bad mood!... er sorry..” she then said looking down at her feet finding them suddenly interesting.
She had to admit that all this stuff was getting a bit awkward…too awkward for her taste. How could she possibly date Shikamaru Nara, one of her closest friend?! It was almost impossible but now that they were there… “ Let’s just go on our ‘date’ already they’ll annoy us if we don’t at least have dinner together.” She muttered under her breath. |
