Hinata+Shikamaru: Shadow vs Pulse

Shikamaru

Troublesome heiress... you're blushing just because I called you cute.

Hinata

Shikamaru-kun, someone might hear...

Neji

Nara. Step away from my cousin.

Shikamaru

What's wrong, Neji? Worried I'll corrupt your precious princess?

Neji

(Eight Trigrams: Air Palm!)

Hinata

Stop! Both of you...

Hinata

(This is exactly what I feared... dating Shikamaru-kun means challenging the whole Hyuga clan's expectations.)

Shikamaru

Heh... your family's even more troublesome than I calculated, Hinata.

Hinata

(My ribbon...)

Shikamaru

Heh... surrender flag?

Neji

Don't mock the Hyuga.

Shikamaru

(Troublesome... why did I do that?)

Hinata

Neji-nii-san, I won't run anymore.

Neji

(She's changed...)

Shikamaru

Troublesome woman...

Shikamaru

Guess I'll have to get stronger than your entire clan.
