Sakura the clueless.

My words took her by surprise.

Hearing those words come out of my mouth like a poem, he froze for a moment with nothing else to say.

It is not usual for someone to congratulate you like this.

"Wow(wow) Yuu, what nice words. Where did you learn them?"

Seeing her give me that kind of surprised look, I nearly fell over backwards.

"I think this would be a drawback of being friends, she objectively sees me as a friend making her feel different from me *sigh*, but I won't be discouraged."

"Well, I didn't learn it from anyone, I just saw the situation and expressed it with words, nothing more"

"Enough is enough, you will make me regret it"

She tells him with a smug tone as she smiles sweetly.

"..."

'With that cheap acting now you're not going to fool me, I know that inside that pretty face is hidden someone with a bad temper, narrow-minded and other things that I'm not going to mention, *grr*'

"Well, today I had a good time with you but it's already late, so I'll come see you later"

Her words brought me out of my thoughts.

"Oh yeah, I'm going too"

Then I realize that the sun is already setting.

"Then see you tomorrow Sakura"

So I say goodbye as I watch her leave.

"I think she spends a lot of time with her today, but I couldn't tell you if my planes with her moved in the direction I wanted"

"I have a 'you'll make me blush', that counts, right?"

But in response I only hear the wind blow.

"Okay, I'll try again tomorrow"

So she directed me towards my house.

...

I am sitting in the classroom thinking about what I should do.

Then suddenly an idea occurred to me.

'I know, why don't I ask a person who knows many things?'

So I look around looking for someone and then I find my target.

So I quickly got up from my seat and went to greet him.

"Hello Shikamaru"

Then he raises his head and returns my greeting.

"Ah, hello Yubeng"

I respond with little spirit.

"Hey Shikamaru, I came to ask you something"

"Mn, why me?"

"Because you are the smartest in the class, of course"

"I think she beats me at the position"

She says pointing to Satsuki that she's at the desk next to us.

'It may be, but you lack experience in this, right now I need the opinion of a very wise man'

"Come on Shikamaru, it will be fast"

I say in a persuasive tone.

I look at him with pleading eyes.

He watches my performance and decides to relent.

"*sigh* Bummer, okay, what do you want?"

"Good..."

I move closer to him to whisper softly.

"*Whisper*"

"..."

So I'm done with my question.

"What? Do you want me to give you flirting tips?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down, someone might hear us"

"*you go down*, do you want me to tell you how to arouse someone's interest?"

"Yeah"

"And why do you ask me? Do I have the face of knowing these things?"

Shikamaru answers me with his eyes rolling (it's an expression, not that he really has them).

"Come on Shikamaru, you're the best tactician in the class, there must be something in that head of yours"

I say in a tone of insistence.

"I don't know anything, get out of here, I'm tired"

"Oh you're a killjoy, don't be like that"

"No, stop bothering me"

Then he snuggles into his arms while he closes his eyes with his back to me.

'*Sigh* Well, at this point there is no other choice'

"Well, what a shame, the other day I remembered that Sakura was looking for some strategy to get closer to Satsuki, hey Shikamaru you weren't the smartest in the class right?"

The moment he hears my words he jumps up from his place.

"Hey, you're not serious, are you?"

"Well, maybe his words will convince you more than mine"

I then turn my body in the direction to address Sakura who is sitting quietly.

"Stop right there, okay, I'll help you but don't bring that crazy woman to me"

He says it in a rushed tone with a bit of panic in it.

I then return to my original position with a smile on my face.

"You see it was easy"

"You are a headache"

He tells him as he rubs his forehead.

"Now you can enlighten me with your knowledge"

"From now on I warn you that I have no idea about this but who is the person to begin with"

"That's a secret, but I would say that he is someone close to me"

"Mn?, so in the end you decided to go for Naraku"

"What, no-, how do you come up with those things, I'm still not interested in my children coming out hyper"

"Then who? Ino? or Sakura?"

"You are going for the good way"

"But the fact that I know your relationship with Ino is not enough to say that they are friends so don't tell me...you're crazy, are you really going after Sakura?"

For a moment I was surprised at how quickly she figured me out.

"Come on, don't judge me"

"Won't Ino be mad?"

"Mn? Why?"

"You know, lately you guys have been together"

"What are you talking about?"

"You know, on the street"

The moment I heard the street immediately a spark ignites in my head.

"..."

"..."

"Did you see me on the street?"

"Well, with how often they walk it would be weird not to see them"

"..."

"..."

"Shikamaru friend, you know, I still remember the day I met"

"Yes, a tile almost fell on my face"

"..."

'Certainly now I remember that, we met by chance while I was walking on the roof where in one of those I suddenly stepped on the wrong foot and slipped causing some tiles to move falling down where Shikamaru was resting'

"Oh come on, that's not the point, the point is that from the moment I saw you I knew you were a person-"

"I don't promise I won't talk"

"Come on Shikamaru, I had no choice" I put on an expression of having no choice.

"Go with your partner's enemy"

"Wait, wait, wait, I think you're confusing things, let me explain..."

I quickly explain to him certain things that I just made up.

"So you're telling me that Ino isn't happy that Sakura is so happy with Satsuki so you decided to make her envious of her relationship?"

"Come on Shikamaru, I had no choice, lately she talks about how happy Sakura is with Satsuki, it's gotten to the point of getting bored, I had to"

"...You do know that if you do that you'll most likely end up getting hit by Sakura if she finds out about it right?"

"Don't worry, everything is under control" I nod with a confident smile.
