Seventh Stage: Some Answers

Boruto and Shikadai were mayhem in the purest form. By the time Ino came back from having lunch with Shikamaru the house was a mess with dancing pictures. Inojin was having so much fun laughing about with the twins. Ino saw this as a dream come true. Her son playing with Shikamaru's kids.

'I have to save him, this is the future that was meant to be.' Ino thought with new determination.

What she didn't know is that those same twins ransacked her office for anything regarding their parents. They found some useful information on their mother and planned to share it once they were out of the house.

Shikamaru hung around a bit more to listen to his former friend ramble on about how things were since he left. It was what Shikamaru predicted except the part with Shino and Lee. With how obsessive he was with Sakura he thought he would still be chasing her tail. Turns out he went to the other team. Ino looked into her cup of tea solemnly and gave Shikamaru a worried look.

"Shikamaru what really happened when Naruto showed up?" She asked quietly. Shikamaru pressed his lips to his cup and hummed for a bit. He smiled then after and tapped his finger on the table.

"He first showed up on our latest search mission for him." He started. "He had one of his fox summons deliver me a scroll before we headed back to the Leaf. That thing burned a hole in my pocket. I was so anxious to see what he wrote and I could barely keep myself in check. A part of me knew I should have said something to you guys but I couldn't get past the fact that he gave it to me. If it was meant for everybody then he would have to fox give us while we were together instead of having it wake me up in the night."

Shikamaru stared into Ino's eyes but the Yamanaka knew her friend wasn't seeing her. He was looking back into the past. "When we got back to the village and were dismissed I ran into the Nara forest and pulled it open. It let out a lot of smoke so I threw it away from me. And Naruto emerged looking at me. I was surprised, he was so hypnotic that before it could even register I was in his arms." Shikamaru snapped his eyes close and when he opened them back he was blushing. Ino found this weird but allowed Shikamaru to gather himself.

"He raped me." Shikamaru said breathlessly. But it wasn't one of those bad breathless moments it was one of the lust filled ones when your partner was hitting a good spot that made you go crazy. Ino's eyes widened as it hit her right in the face. Shikamaru was extremely aroused and he didn't seem to care that she was witnessing him getting riled up.

"S-Shikamaru-" She didn't get to finish the sentence as Shikamaru closed his eyes and continued.

"He ripped me open, made me bleed yet somewhere in the back of my mind I was happy. Happy that he was giving me attention even though it was the wrong type. I cried and screamed but he shut me up real good. At one point he even snapped at me. 'If it isn't a moan then shut the hell up!' Strangely enough I went limp in his arms but in the depths of my mind I was so turned on. After he was done I passed out. When I woke up I was covered in a blanket and the weight of what he did horrified me. I cried in the bathroom while I watched the tub turn pink with my blood." Shikamaru pulled out his ponytail and began playing with the strands. He was sitting straighter now and looked over at Ino with glazed eyes. 

"Shikamaru are you getting aroused just remembering this?" Ino said as she started shaking a bit, she placed her cup down and knotted her hands together.

Shikamaru gave her a sultry smile. "Is it that obvious?" He chuckled as he picked up back his cup. "I was so in love with Naruto to the point I buried it under the guise of being a good friend. Apparently Naruto knew since we were kids, he just never acted on it till later. So imagine getting recognition from the person I truly loved."
