Aww you're too sweet. Though I have come across a lot of HP fans recently who are all about the canon romances. It boggles my mind...urgh.

The SasuHina was done before the events of Shippuden. Hell, I was going to back and refresh myself with Naruto's events up to when Sasuke left since that's still all a huge blur. Was there an incident in Shippuden that allowed Sasuke and Hinata to cross paths? And a lot of folks in my workshop class were talking about how lame Naruto ended and how the ending sucked ass. I tried to tune it out as best I could. NaruIno would be nice, plus they could all go on fun double dates I don't see Sasuke going on double dates, even with Naruto and Ino. Though the images are enough to make me audibly chuckle. XD I'd be happy to try either pair down the line though, you know I can't stray from a challenge...aka all the pairs!

And glad you liked my plan, I played off some some of your suggestions too. :3 Sakura and Shikamaru will surely be put on spot quickly. Ino is gonna ask them all sorts of questions like how long they've been dating, etc. Hopefully not long so Sakura can quickly say they're not comfortable showing PDA. Ino is gonna be pretty interested in the sudden romance and I'm sure that's what Shikamasu is after...for the time being. XD
