AN: Hey guys! I am here yet again to start another songfic collection. But this is going to be slightly different from my other songfic collection. Ino is going to be actually singing in this one. The others will be like my other oneshot songfics. These are all probably going to be Ino finding out that her and Sasuke's (or some other random character's) relationship is not working out, and Shikamaru comes into the picture. This first one was inspired by the song "Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood. I was actually looking at the songs that I am going to do next, and realized that most of them are country. I am not a big country fan, but in the car earlier I was with someone that loves country, and these songs just screamed Sasuke breaking Ino's heart. Ages are early 20s. All right, so here is the first one!
Warning: ShikaIno goodness ahead. Sasuke is not a hero, and is a pervert. Oh, and a make-out scene. Note the T rating!

Dedication: To my reviewers of The Horrors of a Fan Club! I got my 75 reviews, so here it is!
Ino threw her purse on the floor of her apartment and stomped into her room. It was the day her current boyfriend, and nearly lifetime crush Sasuke, had come home from his most recent mission. You would think that she would be happy to see Sasuke after nearly 3 weeks of his absence, but she had been dreading this day since the week after his departure.
Flashback
Ino was behind the counter at her family's flower shop, her chin placed in the palm of her hand. She sighed. There were no customers right now, and she was depressed. It was exactly a week since Sasuke had left on his most recent mission. They had only been going out for a few days before his departure, but she was still upset that he was gone.
Not only that, but Sakura was supposed to get back from her mission today. She hadn't seen Forehead-girl in weeks, because the day she had gotten back from her last mission, Sakura had been sent off. She had been wanting to catch up with her newly acquainted best friend, and also to tell her about Sasuke. As if right on cue, Sakura came barging in the shop.
"Ino-pig! I have something I need to tell you!" Sakura was flushed in the face from running back here. It was obvious she had come straight to see Ino after once arriving within Konoha.
"Forehead-girl! No hello? Not a nice, 'Well how have you been Ino?' We haven't seen each other in nearly a month!" Ino couldn't help but toy with Sakura. They may not be rivals anymore, but they both still had a crush on Sasuke. Unfortunately for Sakura, Ino had beaten her to him.
"Sorry, but I have good news I wanted to tell you before this last mission!" Sakura was smiling. Poor girl, she was going to have her heart broken again.
"Oh, so do I! You missed something while you were away on the mission! Go on; tell me your news first!" Ino wanted to hear what had made Sakura so happy all of a sudden. That and she wanted to get that news over with so she could spill about Sasuke.
"Alright, well a few days before I had to leave for this mission and you came back…Sasuke-kun asked me out!" Sakura's face was so full of joy. They had both agreed that whoever got Sasuke got Sasuke, and they would still remain friends no matter what.
Ino's eyes widened in shock. "What!? But he asked me out a little over a week ago, a few days before he went on his most recent mission!"
"What?!" Sakura yelled. She was furious! How dare he two-time them…with each other!
"I'm serious! I am so sorry Sakura! I thought that he…I didn't know…" Ino was ready to cry. She thought she was depressed earlier.
"Oh, that Uchiha is gonna get it once he gets back…" the girls said in unison after a few moments. They grinned evilly at each other. Sakura then walked over to Ino and whispered something to her. Ino grinned and nodded her head in agreement. She then walked over to the door and put the closed sign up. She didn't care if her mom found out, this was much more important and worth any punishment she would receive.
End Flashback
Ino was now getting ready to start her and Sakura's grand master plan. Sakura had come up with the original idea, and Ino had added to it and fine tuned it. Hanging out with Shikamaru must have rubbed off some strategy on her. That lazy-ass was good for something after all!
She walked into her closet and started throwing things onto her bed. Ino had about 2 hours before she was to meet Sakura at the bar, and still needed to shower and pick out her outfit. Perfect. She thought as she spotted an article of clothing she deemed fitting for the performance later. She then grabbed a towel and headed into her bathroom for a nice, long shower.
Ino stepped out of the shower and quickly grabbed her towel. She walked over to the mirror and brushed out her long hair, then inspected herself. Satisfied, she returned to her room to put on her outfit. It fit perfectly for what Sakura and Ino were going to do tonight. She grabbed her make up kit and…done! Ino grabbed her purse and headed out the door.
Uchiha Sasuke, the heart-throb turned traitor turned heart-throb again was sitting in a bar with Naruto, Neji, Kiba, and Shikamaru. Sasuke and Naruto had gone on a mission together, and after some persuading, Kiba had gotten them all to come to the bar for a few drinks to their successful mission. He then noticed Shikamaru's cell phone going off. What was even stranger than this was that Shikamaru actually picked it up and excused himself for a few moments. Shikamaru usually deemed it too troublesome to answer his cell, unless it had gone off a few times.
Sasuke was curious and listened to what Shikamaru was saying.
"Yeah, he's here. Alright, troublesome woman, I will make sure he stays. Fine. Bye."
That meant that Shikamaru was either talking to his mother or Ino. Those were the only two people that would call him, and that he would deem a Troublesome Woman. He guessed Ino. All Sasuke hoped was that Sakura didn't show up tonight. Well, he figured that those girls were so vain that they would fight each other rather than yelling at him. He smirked. Life was good. He was going to repopulate his clan in no time. Screw social etiquette and proper family life. As long as he had kids, who gave a shit about who the mothers were?
Ino was close to the bar, and was calling Shikamaru to see if the plan was still going. Shikamaru was in on this, along with Kiba and Neji. They had even told Naruto. She was to call Shikamaru, the only reliable and non ice cube out of the group, and see if the target was in position. The fact was, she wasn't just nervous about the plan, but about what she planned to do after completing it.
"Shikamaru?"
"Ino, you almost here? I don't think the Uchiha is going to stay much longer. He looks bored."
"Even more bored than you?" she had a smirk on her face. He deserved that one.
"Ha-ha. Very funny. Troublesome woman."
"Well, is he in position."
"Yeah, he's here."
"Okay. I'll be there in a moment. Just make sure he stays!"
"Alright, troublesome woman, I will make sure he stays."
"Thanks Shika-kun! You're such a great friend! Oh, and make sure Naruto doesn't blab!"
"Fine. Bye."
"Bye, Shika-kun, and thanks so much!" she then flipped her phone shut. She walked into a back door and met Sakura in the dressing room.
"Well?" Sakura asked, adjusting her top a last time.
"It's show time!"
That's all I am. A great friend. Dammit! Shikamaru sighed. How could I ever think that someone like Ino would ever fall for someone like me. I'm too lazy and boring for her. This is all I'll ever be to her: a friend. Well, I guess it's better than nothing.Shikamaru sighed. .
It was quite obvious to those around them that Shikamaru and Ino were really close, and that Shikamaru, who deemed all women as troublesome, had fallen for the most troublesome of them all. Ino was, of course, oblivious, and continues to treat him as her best friend. Nothing more, nothing less. It was a shame that they were the only ones that wouldn't see that they were made for each other. They belonged together.
Sasuke was just sitting back down when the DJ called the bar's attention.
"Alright, we have 2 lovely ladies that are gonna sing for us tonight! Let's give them a round of applause!" The bar went wiled, with whistles and cat calls as the 2 girls got on stage. Sasuke's jaw just dropped.
There were his 2 main targets for repopulating his clan. Together. Smirking. At him. But, damn! Why did they have to look so sexy while doing it! Sakura had her long pink hair tied up in a ponytail with her bangs framing her face. She had on a tight black mini skirt and a blood red V-neck top. She wore black boots that came to her knees. Ino wore a denim mini skirt and a dark purple tank top. Her long blonde hair was tied in a low ponytail that rested over her right shoulder. She wore a white jacket and white knee-length boots.
The song began to play, and then Sasuke finally realized something: he was screwed.
Right now he's probably slow dancing with a bleach blonde tramp, Right now, he's probably up behind her with a pool-stick, showing her how to shoot a combo... And he don't know...
And she's probably getting frisky...
Right now, he's probably buying her some fruity little drink cause she can't shoot Whiskey...
Ino started singing her heart out looking directly at the man who had broken her heart. But, surprisingly, it didn't hurt as much as it should. A thought came to mind, and she smiled for a second before becoming serious again. That would be part of her plan later.
That I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive, Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.
Carved my name into his leather seats...
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights,
Slashed a hole in all 4 tires...
They were both singing the refrain now. Looking directly at them. The place was silent except for their voices. Sakura had already found love, and tonight was Ino's night to show Uchiha Sasuke that you don't cheat on a Yamanaka and get away with it.
Right now, she's probably up singing some That I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive, Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.
White-trash version of Shania karoke..
Right now, she's probably saying "I'm drunk"
And he's a thinking that he's gonna get lucky,
Right now, he's probably dabbing on 3 dollars worth of that bathroom polo...
And he don't know...
Carved my name into his leather seats,
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights,
Slashed a hole in all 4 tires...
Oh, it was so true. They both knew that this wouldn't faze the almighty Uchiha Sasuke that much. He would find another girl, but hopefully…
Might saved a little trouble for the next girl, Oh, you know it won't be on me! Ohh... not on me... Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats. Ohh.. Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats... Ohh... before he cheats...
Cause the next time that he cheats...
Cause I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive,
Carved my name into his leather seats...
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights,
Slashed a hole in all 4 tires...
Now, it was time that the Uchiha got something he deserved. After the applause had slowed down, Ino and Sakura simultaneously spoke into the microphone, their clear voices ringing through the crowded bar.
"Sasuke, we're through!"
It was true. Sasuke had received some glares and a few slaps from other girls, but was currently walking home some bleach blonde girl that looked strangely similar to a certain sand ninja. But, now was time for part 2 of Ino's grand master plan, which Sakura didn't even know about. She had realized something very important these past few days, especially with all the planning to get back at Sasuke. Someone had always been by her side, and she needed to let them know how she felt.
Ino slowly walked over to the remaining guy's table. Sasuke had of course left, and Naruto and Sakura were currently enjoying a dance on the other side of the room. Neji had been forced into a dance with Tenten, and Kiba was flirting with a nearby waitress. That left only one ninja.
"Shika-kun?"
"Hn?" Shikamaru turned around to face Ino.
"I-I just wanted to thanks you for helping me with this." She sat down in the chair next to his.
"No matter how troublesome it was that Sasuke-bastard deserved it. I heard him talking about how he didn't give a shit who the mothers of his children were, as long as his clan was repopulated." Now, this was news to Ino.
"How could that bastard! Just to…" she couldn't finish her sentence. Contrary to popular belief, Ino was a virgin and wished to remain that way until she found her special someone. For some strange reason she just couldn't give it to Sasuke after their first date when he had clearly had plans to…
Shikamaru was one of the few people who actually knew about this. It was odd that one of the few people who knew the most about her was a male, not some female best friend like most girls have.
"Alright, well if you are done, I'll be leaving this troublesome bar." he couldn't take this anymore. He had to get out of here. He couldn't allow himself to see her get angry, that would be scary. Plus, she had to tell Sakura that information once Sakura was done with Naruto. He stood up from his chair and started to walk away.
"Wait!" Ino ran over to him and pulled on his arm, turning him to face her. She gasped at what she saw in his chocolate orbs. There was something there that she hadn't noticed before. How could she have not…
It was so tempting to just lean down into the luscious lips of Ino, the way they were parted slightly. And her eyes, which were wide and blue like the sky that he loved so much. The way she held onto him firmly. His mind, for once in his life, went blank. She was too tempting, and he was ready to give in.
"Please. Don't go. I—" She couldn't finish her sentence because Shikamaru's lips crashed down on hers. She gasped at the sudden lip contact, but quickly got over her shock and closed her eyes, kissing him back. Shikamaru's hand wound their way around her waist, pulling her closer. Ino slid her arms up his chest and finally around his neck, pulling him even closer. She ran her hands through his hair, pulling out the elastic band in his hair. She could feel his shoulder-legnth locks slightly tickling her face. The attraction had always been there, and their need for each other was finally being released in this mind blowing kiss. Shikamaru's tongue licked Ino's lips, begging for entrance. She eagerly replied, and soon their tongues were in a battle against each other. Ino moaned against his lips. They wanted to feel each other all at once, and this wasn't enough, but there was a thing called breathing, which they currently needed to do. They reluctantly pulled apart, panting heavily, and leaned their foreheads against one another's looking deeply into the other's eyes. Ino almost didn't recognize Shikamaru without his hair tie. It was weird to see him with his hair down, but definitely a good weird. And she had thought he was attractive before…
"I love you Ino." he whispered before capturing her lips again. It was just as passionate as before.
"How long?...Why didn't you…tell me?...I love you to!" She whispered in between quick kisses.
"Because I didn't think you loved me." He replied before taking another quick kiss from her. "I guess I was wrong. A genius makes mistakes sometimes." They leaned in for one more passionate kiss.
"Let's get out of here." Ino whispered after their latest kiss. She could feel some odd stares from the people around them. Luckily all the others were too busy with their lovers that they didn't see this new occurrence. Ino quickly grabbed Shikamaru's hand as he led her out of the bar.
Well, Sasuke, I guess that it was a good thing that you did cheat on me. But I definitely know that I will stop you, before you cheat again.
Ohh... before he cheats...
