Summary: All Shikamaru ever wanted was a nice, quiet life. He couldn't understand why it had to be filled with so many troublesome women. His mother, Ino, Temari.
Oh, and her.
Tsubaki Chika, transfer kunoichi from the Village Hidden in the Ruins. Sometimes he just wished she would go back. Bossy, demanding, stuck-up. There's no way she would ever be able to have a conversation with him without saying something rude. Probably wouldn't give him the time of day once the uniform was off.

Story notes: This is probably going to be my 'head-canon' for how Shikamaru and my OC, Tsubaki Chika, start to develop feelings for each other. The story takes place a few years after the war.
They met about a few months ago, but that was more mission/work related, and I don't want to do too in-depth with mission and the like. This story focuses more on what happens back in the village, kind of like their personal lives as opposed to their lives as shinobi.
Also there seems to be a theme of doing 'Bingo Books' whenever you have a long-running story on TONFA, so I might have a go at that later on. It depends how far I get into this. 1. Chapter One by EnsignIago [Reviews - 6]
(465 words)This one is quite short, and no OC-ness just yet. Also, I'd like to point out that because Shikamaru is slightly older, his phrase has changed from 'Troublesome' or 'What a drag' to 'What a pain in the ass'. It just works better for me. I like it when he says stuff like that in the anime or manga, but for some reason it irks me a little in fanfiction.
Anywho, hope you enjoy this one and give us some feedback on what you think, ne?
2. Chapter Two by EnsignIago [Reviews - 2]
(666 words)Still no OC-ness, right now I'm just setting the mood, I suppose.
I really prefer to have something short and well written then pack it all together and bore you guys with details.
Also, it all depends on the flow and where I think it can end nicely , so in the next chapter I can jump along a little bit. So, for now, short chapters. Baby steps.
3. Chapter Three by EnsignIago [Reviews - 2]
(829 words)Well, there is a little bit of OC-ness at the end of this one, so look forward to that.
I notice now that my chapters are steadily getting longer, so hopefully I'll set a traget around 1000 words for each chapter from now on and stick to that as best I can.
