  -I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top, she's got a body like an hour glass, it's ticking like a clock-

"Oh, god! Will you shut the hell up already?!" I yelled at the blonde girl who talked about nonsense. Shikamaru had his head resting on the table in front of him as Ino glared at me. I gladly returned the glare, but then a smirk spread across her face. "Hey, Shika. Can I have a kiss?" She asked, which caused my anger to flare. She knew I liked Shikamaru, and she still asked him out a few months ago. She liked Sasuke, for crying out loud! Did she hate me that much that she would date my crush, just to make me miserable? Of all the things I regretted in my life, this has got to be the one I regret the most. Telling Ino my crush.

-It's a matter of time before we all run out, when I thought he was mine, she caught him by the mouth, I waited eight long months-

Shikamaru sighed and sat up straight before pressing his lips against Ino's lightly. "There. Happy?" He asked and laid his head back down. "Very." Ino stated and looked at me with a devious smile on her face. I shook my head and tried to hide my rage with a small smile before I stood up and walked out. Damn her! I hate her so much, and I hate myself for telling her I liked Shikamaru! If I hadn't, she'd still be chasing after that damned emo boy, Sasuke. What's with girls and him anyway? He's not all that. Anyone could act cold and emotionless.

-I waited eight long months, she finally set him free, I told him I can't lie, he was the only one for me-

A few weeks had passed since that day and I was walking down the street. "Just shut up, will you?! Do you realize how annoying you are?!" I heard Shikamaru yell, and then Ino's sobs. "It's over, Shikamaru." She said as I turned a corner to see an angry Shikamaru and a saddened Ino. The blonde girl ran away with her hands on her face, and I instantly felt pity for her. "Shikamaru, what was that about?" I asked, approaching him. "Just leave me alone." Shikamaru said and walked away. I snarled but turned and followed Ino. Even though I didn't like her, I felt bad for her and I had to see what was wrong. "Ino, wait!" I shouted.

-Two weeks and we caught on fire, she's got it out for me but I wear the biggest smile-


I was pretty mad at Shikamaru for yelling at her. She didn't do anything, except talk... a lot. But I was also mad at Ino for not sticking up for herself. She's a bad role model because she just ran off crying like a wuss. Shikamaru apologized to her a week later, and Ino forgived him. They got back together two days later and now I was stuck in the same situation. Watching my crush date my rival, and I was helpless. I didn't even think Shikamaru liked her, because he always acted so annoyed whenever she was around. Well, there's nothing I can do about it now.

-Woah, I never meant to brag, but I got him where I want him now, woah it was never my intention to brag, to steal it all away from you now-

Ino had invited me to lunch, as well as Shikamaru. She probably invited me just to torture me by kissing him again. Why did she have to be so annoying? "...So the squirrel jumped on Sakura's head and started pulling her hair, and that idiot starts screaming!" Ino said and threw her arms in the air. I sighed and looked out the window as Ino continued to talk, and Shikamaru nodded when nessecary. "That's nice." His voice came. "Yeah, Sakura's hair was a mess when we got the squirrel off her. She tried to chase after it." Ino said and crossed her arms over her chest. "Why was the squirrel attacking her in the first place?" I asked.

-But God, does it feel so good, 'cause I got him where I want him now, and if you could then you know you would, 'cause God it just feels so good, it just feels so good-

Ino shrugged and closed her eyes. "I'unno. Guess it just liked the color of her hair." She said and smiled. "I can't blame Sakura for trying to chase that stupid squirrel though. I'd do the same thing if it tried to rip my hair out." She said and giggled slightly. I rolled my eyes and averted my gaze back to the window as many people passed by. "Ino, can I talk to you for a second?" Shikamaru asked, standing up. Ino smiled and stood up as well, taking his hand. "Yeah, lets go." She said and dragged him outside. I sighed and laid my head down on the table, then looked at them through the window as they crossed the street.

-Second chances, they don't ever matter people never change, once a whore you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change-

By the looks on their faces, it seems that it wasn't a very pleasant conversation. Ino's face turned to one of confusion, then sadness and then anger. Shikamaru's was apologetic and pitiful, like he had done something bad. The two turned back and walked back into the store before resuming their places at the same table I was at. "Have a nice conversation?" I asked, taking a sip of my drink. "No." Ino said and I looked at her. "What, Ms. Talkitive has nothing to say?" I asked and she shook her head. "No, I'll see you guys later." Ino said and left the shop. Shikamaru sighed and laid his head down on the table once again.

-And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged, I'm sorry honey but I'm passing up now look this way-

I looked at him with a confused expression as he sighed once again. "What was that about?" I asked and set my drink down. "Nothing. I broke up with her, that's all." He said and sat up straight, putting his arms behind his head with his eyes closed. "Why?" I asked, slightly happy that he was now single. "Because she was just too talkitive and stuff. Besides, I like someone else." He said and opened one eye to look at me. I sighed and shook my head. "Let me guess, you were only dating Ino to make the other girl jealous because you think she doesn't like you?" I asked and closed my eyes.

-Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you, looking as innocent as possible to get to who, they want and what they like, it's easy if you do it right, well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse-

Shikamaru sighed and opened his eyes once again. "You could say that. But it didn't work very well." He said and crossed his arms over his chest. "Don't get me wrong, I like Ino. But I only saw her as a friend and nothing more." He said as I opened my eyes. "So you used her to get to the girl you like." I said, though it was more of a question then a statement. "Yeah..." Shikamaru answered. I shook my head and stood up. "Shikamaru, you're an ass, you know that?" I said and walked toward the exit of the shop. "Wait!" He said and followed me. "What if I told you that girl was you?" He said and smiled slightly.

-Woah, I never meant to brag, but I got him where I want him now, woah it was never my intention to brag, to steal it all away from you now-

I slapped Shikamaru and growled. "For someone who has an I.Q. of 200, you're pretty stupid!" I shouted and turned around. "You're such a retard! You think I would be happy that I was the girl you used Ino to get to?!" I yelled and shook my head. "You have a lot to learn about girls, idiot." I said and walked out. How could he use Ino like that and then smile about it?! Men are so stupid! I was looking for Ino as I walked down the streets, leaving a dumbfounded Shikamaru still in the doorway of the shop. He is such an idiot, I swear. “Ino!” I called, looking around. “She’s at her parents flower shop.” I heard someone say.



-But God, does it feel so good, ‘cause I got him where I want him now, and if you could then you know you would, ‘cause God it just feels so good, it just feels so good-



When I found Ino, she was at the counter in the front of her flower shop. “Ino, I heard what happened.” I said and walked over to her. “Yeah. Why aren’t you with the ass right now?” She said and turned away. “Because guys who use a girl to get to another one just piss me off. I’m sorry about what he did to you.” I said and leaned against the counter. “Hm. Whatever.” She said and looked at the different flowers on the shelves. “Shikamaru is an ass. Just forget about him. I hit him for you if it makes you feel any better.” I said and smiled slightly. Her lips twitched and she let out a giggle. “He deserved it, so I don’t feel bad at all.” I said and giggled as well.



-I watched his wildest dreams come true, not one of them involving you, just watch my wildest dreams come true, not one of them involving…-

A few weeks had passed after that day. Ino and I had became friends, and we both developed a grudge against Shikamaru. Though, I still had a crush on him, but I wouldn't let Ino know that."Hey, Ino. Let's go get something to eat." I said as I set a vase full of lilies down. I helped her out in the flower shop once in a while. "Okay. Let's go." She said and told her Mom where we would be before we left. "So, how was your last mission with Shikamaru?" I asked after a few moments. She groaned and shook her head. "Dreadful. It was quiet the entire time, and I couldn't stand to be around him!" She said as we walked into the shop.

-Woah, I never meant to brag, but I got him where I want him now, woah I never meant to brag, but I got him where I want him now -



Shikamaru was sitting at our table with his head down. “Um, Ino. Let’s go somewhere else.” I said as I stared at the sleeping Shikamaru. Ino looked at our table then sighed. “No, lets see what he wants.” She said and dragged me over to the table. Ino kicked his leg to wake him up and sat down on the opposite side of him with me next to her. “What do you want?” I asked, glaring at him. Shikamaru sat up and rubbed his eye, looking at the both of us. “Um, hey…” He said and looked down. “I want to say I’m…sorry. It was wrong of me to use Ino like that to get to you.” He said, looking at me. I shook my head and looked at Ino.



-Woah, it was never my intention to brag, to steal it all away from you now, but God does it feel so good, ‘cause I got him where I want him now-

Ino looked out the window with an annoyed look on her face. "Don't apologize to me. Apologize to her." I said, pointing at Ino. Shikamaru sighed and looked at her. "Ino, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have used you like that." He said and lowered his head in shame. Ino shook her head and looked at him. "Shut up and go back to sleep. I'll forgive you eventually." She said and stood up. "Diddo." I said and stood as well, both of us walking towards the door. I heard Shikamaru sigh and then his head hit the table. "You're really planning on forgiving him?" I asked, looking at Ino. "Yeah. When you forgive him, go ask him out. He likes you a lot." She said and smiled. I smiled back and nodded.

-And if you could, then you know you would, 'cause God it just feels so good, it just feels so good-
