[F] Love Me

[kayi]

[b]<span style="color:#FF0000">CHAPTER 1
The world is full of dangerous women. Sometimes they are close to us, sometimes we don't even know them. But usually, they are the women we least suspect. Unluckily for him, Shikamaru knew several dangerous women.

The first was Sakura Haruno. She used to be one of the weakest kunoichi, but now you had to run miles if you even saw her reach for her black gloves-she now was like Tsunade. Strength of an elelphant, but healing powers of a Queen. She was deadly to anyone who stood in her way.

The second was the teacher of Sakura Haruno-the fifth Hokage. Tsunade was the original Queen of evil and cunning. As well as failing at gambling, always miserably and terribly, costing those who helped her thousands of yen. Stronger then her elephant-student, Tsunade also had amazing healing powers stronger than anyone he had ever met, making her a formidable ally and a strong kunoichi.

The third was Hinata Hyuuga. She was shy and seemed innocent, but could be as sly as a fox. Her amazing powers kept her head of the Hyuga Clan, second to nobody who stood in the way of her position, even her own cousin, the fate-beliving Hyuga Neji. She could defeat him now almost too easily, rather then end up near death like she had in the Chunin exams.

The fourth was Tenten. An orphan from China, nobody even knew her second name. But with her weapon expertees and deadly aim, nobody wanted to even go near her in case of instant death, apart from those smart enough to trust her as a friend like the rest of the ninja he knew.

The fifth was Anko. Evil psychotic bitch of a woman. No explanation was needed for her.

The sixth was Kurenai. Well she just got in the way of training, which made her okay-ish, he supposed. It saved him from using troublesome effort to work, as she kept Asuma pre-occupied. So yes...he knew many dangerous women. Especially two he had not yet thought about.

And I won't hear what you say so...

The seventh was Temari. She was why he was here right now, lying on his favourite spot of grass in his favourite field, under his favourite tree, which was his favourite shade from anything troublesome while he watched the clouds. Except he was crying. The dusty-coloured blonde of the sand-nin's hair, the way she smelt like green tea...he hated green tea. Why was he crying? She had hurt him sure, but now he had come to think about it...did he ever even really like her? He didn't really feel upset about her leaving him, just hurt she didn't give a crap what happened to him. She had shouted "I don't give a crap about you or your stupid shogi or stupid clouds. I hate you, I never loved you!" Sure that had annoyed him, but that wasn't why he felt hurt probabaly. Thinking about it, he probably felt hurt because she had called him stupid. He wasn't stupid. He had and IQ of over 200.But he still felt hurt about something. He knew it was then the eighth and most dangerous woman. The one with the looks of a fallen angel-she looked disgraced and hurt, lonley and usually heart broken because of some idiot, but to him-she was still the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. But now he had hurt her, and she probably wouldn't talk to him ever again. He had hit her.

Ino Yamanaka, the eighth and most dangerous woman. The troublesome beauty. He had hit her. She had been crying and crying over and over and something inside him had just snapped. He didn't care what Sai did to her. His hand swung out automatically and connected with her shoulder, making a sickening cracking noise. She cried out in pain. He looked at his blood-covered hands to her blood-covered shoulder, not believing what he had just done. He had lashed out at an innocent woman. Rather than scream at him like he had expected her to, she had mearly looked hurt and walked away. She was no longer crying and crying over and over about some idiot called Sai who had broke her heart. She was crying because he had hurt her, and she had trusted him. Why would he just do that to her for no reason? Even he couldn't answer it. He made himself upset. He felt a tear escape his eyes and roll down his cheek. He wasn't a woman beater. Why had he hit her? Why? He had meant to hit Sai! No...why would he think that? He didn't care who she dated, nor her him. Or did he? He shook him head and looked at the spot next to him where she had been sitting the previous day. Little red dots were staining the murky green grass. He touched the strands withthe scarlet liquid on gently, feeling confused. What did he care who she dated? Why did he care? He was supposed to like Temari, wasn't he? No, he had never liked her. He was lying to himself. He had a good habit of masking his feelings like this since he was young.

A mask like that of Haku. A mask like that of the ANBU. When he was five years old, he met Ino Yamanaka. It had just been a childhood crush he had never told her about. She would laugh anyway. No, she wouldn't now. He almost forgot he had hurt her. When he was twelve, he had tricked himself into liking Temari. Now he was fifteen, he knew had liked her when he was twelve and masked his feelings to himself like he had done to her since he met her. He liked her as more than a friend then. He still liked her as more than a friend now. But he had hurt her. Becuase he had wanted to hit that Sai *******. He hated himself for it. How could he hurt her? Another tear spilled messily down his cheek, joining the pool already making a damp spot on his shirt from rolling off his chin. His eyes stung. Sitting up and looking away from the clouds, he saw the figure of a woman coming towards him. His favourite troublesome woman. She saw him there and began to turn away and start walking back the way she had come from. Hurt and pain was etched unto her face like a bad dream she had never forgot.

Can you take this lonely girl?

I pick her up from off the ground

'Cause there's no pride to be found

When you follow sheep around

And no future here, no future

For us in this town

Her started to run after her. She began to run. She was too fast for him, but now it seemed she was running slow enough for him to catch her on purpose. She had sympathy for him, wheras before he had none for her. Now he did. He arm was broken and in a sling because of him. He had saved his sympathy, it was now time to swallow his pride and stop hiding in the shadow of happy and un-energetically handicapped people like Sasuke (Shikamaru cursed the chicken-butt head's name) and Choji. For some reason he always cheered Ino up when he would not. He nearly smiled to himself. They were a bunch of misfits. The lazy one, the slob and a angelically gorgeous loudmouth that he had fallen in love with. Did he just think what he thought? It was time to break his mask, time to admit it. He was in love with Yamanaka Ino.

He wanted her to say she loved him too.

"Shadow possesion jutsu!"

Ino stopped in her tracks and uttered a barely audible sob. Not again, he couldn't hurt her again, not again, please, no, she didn't know why it hurt so much, it wasn't the pain in her arm that hurt her though.

It was the pain in her heart, the pain inside. She didn't understand it. She didn't like it. It hurt too much for her to bear.

He slowly walked forward and wrapped his arms around her shaking body.She was hurting herself now from sobbing so much. Hiccups were stealing her breath, she had began to cough and her head was hurting. Her eyes were blotchy and red, tears stained her cheeks. When she felt his arms surround her, she stopped crying. It made her feel safe. How can the boy who just hurt her so badly just do that? How could he make her feel safe? She felt his warm breath on the back of her neck. She felt the shadow posession turn her around. They looked at each other. Even though she hated it, she felt her face drawing closer towards his. His face came closer to hers. Then it happened. He released his shadow posession, but she didn't even realise.

They kissed.

She pulled away in shock and he just looked at her sadly.

"Ino, I love you."

Hundreds of emotions rushed through her mind and body. She knew he had liked her since she was five, but she had never told him. She wanted to protect her feelings and heart, but mostly his. But then she thought why it had felt so good and right and touched her lips. She knew he hadn't been the only one weating a mask. She had too.

"I love you too, Shikamaru Nara. I would do anything to make you happy. But I don't think I could do that-I couldn't make you happy."

She looked away almost sobbing again then began walking off again, but he grabbed her wrist. She stopped in her tracks.

"You made me happy when you said you loved me too."

Yes, the world that Shikamaru Nara was living in was dangerous and it was full or dangerous women. But if we dig deep enough, sometimes we see these women are dangerous to protect themselves and their hearts, to get each other back, but mostly to protect others. Defending those close to you for all dangerous women is important. Escpecially those they love. As Shikamaru Nara knew, even though Ino Yamanaka was a dangerous woman, it was just because she was defending her heart-but mostly him and how she probably knew he had felt all along.
