insert something creative in here. i doubt in canon that ino's mum

At the age sixteen, there were a few aspects that one Uchiha Mikoto had begrudgingly accepted. The first of which being that no matter what she said or did, she would end up marrying some sixth cousin (or something to that affect) who happened be a massive five years older than her. Along with the fact she was stuck on a team with a perverted sensei, an incorrigible boy who she shouldn't be in love with and another boy who was actually somewhat tolerable. And yet another of these aspects was that she be subjected to accompanying her best friend on a shoe-hunting expedition whilst said best friend attempted to psychoanalyse her.
"Nrgh. Why do you need another pair of kami-damn shoes? You have, what, sixteen pairs sitting in that closet of yours?" Groused Mikoto, the dark haired shinobi rather unimpressed by the prospect of spending several hours searching for the holy grail of the shoe world.
"Seventeen. Inoichi and I are going out for our anniversary, of course I need a new pair. And what is with you today?" Came Hanako's far too enthused response.
"Perhaps the fact I came back from six day mission at two thirty this morning and am now being forced to traipse around the shops?"
"Hah! Don't play smart with me, missy. What has he done now?"
"What makes you think it's something to do with him?" Feinted bewilderment decorated Mikoto's voice.
"Number one; you've consumed an excessive amount of Dango this morning, something you only do when you angst over him. And you're that shirt?"
"I don't angst over him. And what is wrong with this shirt? It's nice, comfortable, I guess it's stylish…"
"It's black! Colour of depression! Of emo-ness!"
"Hn. Whatever."
"So what happened?"
"Nothing. Look, there is a nice of shoes. Go try them on."
Just keep telling yourself that Mikoto.
