teamworkverse relationship rambles...
Not about Team Seven, but about other pairings in the fic I'm not even sure everyone caught on to. XD; I'm not even sure anyone WILL, because Teamwork is incredibly team-seven centered, in that the kids are so busy with their own life and sentimental problems and I find the rest of it so useless to the plot -- like "oh, Sakura goes out with Ino and eats with her parents sometimes" or "Naruto plays with Konohamaru and visits Iruka" -- okay, life goes on around team Seven, I know that, but how does it FIT with the rest of the main fic without looking like pointless filler? It doesn't. The one time I tried to shove in an Iruka scene, it looked so out of place I cringed.
(or maybe that's just because I utterly suck at writing anything Iruka. >_> Yes, this sounds likely.)
I could use them in a sidefic, but frankly I don't have a plot to showcase the issues, and I DO have enough sidefics to complete as it is. XD; So far, those are just things I know about the characters.
I'm pretty sure it's not even that obvious from the main fic that Kiba and Hinata arer dating, despite them appearing for the first time when Sasuke burst in on them in the middle of a date. It was Sasuke POV, so he had no goddamn reason to actually notice or care they were on a date. After that, Naruto did mention that they were together now once, but it sounds like such a throwaway comment. XD;
Hinata and Kiba have been together for two years, since they were 15-16, but it isn't a "that's it, they're together forever" couple. Hinata likes Kiba a lot, and loves him tenderly, but she isn't in love with him. It's more like he's familiar and safe, and she knows he will always treat her well, rather than she feels the irrepressible desire to be with him. Also some of the traits she loves in him are traits he shares with Naruto, which doesn't help much with Kiba's "second best" status. Hinata is mostly over Naruto by now, but she still gets twinges of regret from time to time.
Also, Hiashi is okay with letting her date outside the clan -- he does care about her, so he wants to let her be happy for a little bit -- but the elders would really hate it if she married an Inuzuka. They consider the Inuzuka as beneath them, and the bloodlines don't even compliment each other harmoniously blahblahblah mannerless peons blah. So she'd be encouraged to either marry in the clan, or marry into an allied clan whose bloodline does match. (I would make it NejiHina because I like the pairing, but frankly I think Hyuugacest would deserve to be treated with more attention than "narusasusaku ANGST ACTION narusasusakuSEX FUN SEX and then Hinata married Neji, by the way blahblah narusasusaku.")
I'm not going with an EVIIIL interpretation of the Hyuugas, so if Hinata were really crazy in love with Kiba, Hiashi could and would force them to accept it (though there would be lots of failsafes placed on her and on the eventual kids, and lots of unhappy bitching), but she isn't, so she doesn't feel totally torn on doing her duty to the clan. So eventually she'll probably end it and marry some OC. Sorry Kiba. XD;
ShikaIno/ShikaTema. Prrt. This one I feel a lot more interested in. >.>
Mostly because at some point they will have a threesome. *_* And seeing how Ino is connected to Sakura and girls gossip (more than Kiba would talk with Naruto about his relationship with Hinata, that's for sure. XD) it has more of a chance to come up in the narration. But I still need to drop hints here and there so it doesn't come off as a total surprise... Hmmm.
Ino starts off as being in denial about finding Shika as even remotely attractive, but when she sees him interacting with Temari, she knows one thing; she sees him as HERS. She can't help but be jealous of Temari -- Temari is bitchy, smart, prideful, and powerful, in a very "in your face" way, but she isn't manly and unsexy for it. Ino compares herself to Temari and finds herself wanting. Sure, Ino's field is more recon/spy work than all-out combat, but she still realizes she could be better/more dangerous/more skilled, and she isn't, because of her interest in things that are, in the end, pretty shallow. Ino likes being shallow and girly, but that's not all she is.
And she wants to be proud of other things -- like she's more attractive than Temari because Temari doesn't diet and does hard work that gives her muscles and doesn't care much about makeup and her hair is unmanageable, but... Well. Temari still wears pretty, functional-but-elegant things, and even with her bushy hair she still manages to be hot. So even on the appearance side, Ino feels challenged.
And then she sees her Shikamaru chuckling and having smart conversations with Temari and she's all HISS. (by then, Shika and Temari are still just... sort of flirting/enjoying each other's company) So she starts being more possessive of Shika, and at some point he asks her what's up and she kisses him. Shika is -- well he does like her (even if he'd never say so), and he's a healthy teenage male so he did have quite a few wank sessions with her in mind. Ino doesn't want to talk about it, and Shika is all "ahhh so troublesome, maybe if i just lay here and pretend it's normal, it will BECOME normal and thus not to be thought about too hard", so... They're not really dating since Ino still doesn't know what she wants, but she ambushes him a couple of times and they make out.
But then at some point Temari hits on Shika too, and Shika is a little "uhhh is it cheating on Ino or not... are we even dating -- oh hey, hand on my ass, nice -- uh, wait."
Ino and Temari are both with Shika -- much earlier than he'd planned them to ever meet face to face again, he tries to broach the subject of WTF is going on here because he's losing control of the situation and he'd rather adress it before one of them gropes him and it ends up in a bitch fight. He would have adressed it before and separately, if he'd thought it would come to a head that soon, so those are not optimal conditions in his point of view, but there's no getting around it.
And then, well, they all end up in bed. >.>go temari go.
At first, Ino tells herself "it's fine, Sakura is in a threesome and it works!" Intellectually she doesn't have that much of a problem with the idea. It can't be a full-time threesome because Temari is still in Suna half the time and Ino isn't placed on Shika's team whenever he's sent over there, but it could be a timeshare with occasional group molesting and that would be fine with her.
But really, apart from the sex, which is utterly amazing, she hates it. She feels like "the other woman" and she wouldn't mind that too much, except that for once she doesn't think she could win the man if she tried to make him choose, and she's always twitchy and jealous around Temari. She wants to blow up at her and fight it out, but she knows that Temari would win and she really dislikes the idea of losing to her, so in the end she restrains herself pretty hard to keep from bitching her out and that makes her tense and unhappy.
Eventually she accepts that her whole wanting to keep Shikamaru is much more a MINE! BACK OFF reaction aimed at Temari than a real "I'm in love with Shika". She likes him and he's hers, and okay he's good in bed, but from start to finish the whole thing was more about Temari than about Shikamaru.
Then she realizes that the sex being amazing is more due to her competitions with Temari (both in the Shika molesting area and the molesting each other area) than to Shika himself. He could be Chouji (though, a slimmer Chouji) and the sex would still be the same kind of amazing.
So in shock, she breaks it off and runs.
Ino: ... sakura I think I'm a lesbian ;_;
Sakura: ... >_> You're what?
Ino: A LESBIAN T.T
Sakura: ... -__-;; *presents picture of naked sasuke*
Ino: :DDD -- uh. Ahem.
Sakura: So. Lesbian?
Ino: ... nevermind. ^-^;;
Then she tells Sakura everything, and Sakura is O_O because she had no idea, and they have a "you can tell me everything so why don't you!!" "you were so busy with your own problems damn it!!" heart-warming bitchfest, and then, I don't know. Ino breaks it off with both Shika and Temari for good, but after that, i'm not sure.
Naruto might hear about Ino being into girls at some point and be all :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD about it. >D I don't know what would be better, that he suggest ask Ino if she ever thought of Sakura naked, or that he turn into the sexy no justu and ask if that gets Ino hot. Oh, probably both. He'd get KILLED. XD
... And then I dunno. .__.;;
... I really need to find places in teamwork "canon" for that inoshikatema thing to happen. XD
