***FanFic History***

I had this story in mind for about a year with no real plans for writing it, but because of the problems I have had trying to rewrite a chapter of Bittersweet Sixteen, I really needed to work on other things for a little while. This one had new life breathed into it as a result. At the end of Butt Out, I wondered what challenges a secret affair between Ino and Shika might pose, and this is one of the ideas that popped out.
