Clock showed 8 pm, a blonde girl was waiting nervously in front of restaurant.
"This has been over than an hour." The blue eyed girl grumbled.
From the distance a shinobi appeared, rushed toward her and waving, "sorry I'm late; Ino must have waited for a long time."
Yamanaka girl's face instantly cheered when he saw the young man she was waiting for. "Ah, never mind. Sai must have late because an important reason, I understand."
"Actually, I had just from the library to read and lost the track of time, sorry." For some reason this shinobi was incapable to read the situation.
'SAI, how could you keep me waiting FOR THAT REASON?' Inner Ino screamed.
"It's okay; I understand Sai really like to read." She said, pretending to smile.
The couple of shinobi was greeted when stepped into the restaurant, "Welcome."
"We need desk for two." The 10 team members ordered.
Waiters approached them, took them to their desk and provide list of menus.
"So, what kind of business Ino wanted to discuss with me?"
"What?"
"Sakura told me to come here because Ino have things to talk about."
Ino paused; she did asked help from her pink haired friend to arrange a date for Sai and her. But it looked like her best friend just told Sai to meet her. Even worse, now the blond girl had to find a reason to give for the newest member of Team Kakashi in front of her.
"Should we order first?" Yamanaka girl was trying to gain time.
After ordering food, they chattered. When Ino started asked about Sai, the young anbu are reluctant to talk about him selves.
"So, what kind of business Ino wanted to discuss with me?"
"Well Sai, I want to ask you a favor."
"The book said friends should help each other. What can I do for Ino?"
The blue eyed girl thought hard until finally she gets an idea, "Sai, I wanted to learn how to paint."
Of course Ino does not have any interest in painting, but she had to give a reason. Fortunately that reasons could be used by her to get closer with the pale-skinned shinobi. In the remaining dinner Sai talk more, he describes the art of painting to a girl who actually just want to spend time with him.
