Hey guys, my first story to be posted! Since this doesn't fit in with the continuity of any of my other 'collections' I'm posting it as a stand-alone. Inspired by a fanfic I read which referred to Ino "looking like she had an eating disorder".
Well, I suppose that if I want to be any good, I should start by copying other authors. And what's the first thing they do? Why, to disclaim ownership of the fandom (and characters) of course! And that's just what I'll do! . . . (walks away)
It was just after Ino had chastised him again for eating so much of the fatty, salty, generally anti-nutritious food (some silly nonsense about his health or some such) that he had rolled his eyes at her and mumbled that not everyone had tiny, easily-filled stomachs like her.
"Excuse me?!" she very nearly screeched at him, Shikamaru rolling his eyes from beside her "hah! I bet I could eat you under the table!"
Choji just had to chuckle at this and knew he couldn't pass up such an easy shot, "Fine. You're on. Winner gets to dictate the other's diet for a week."
It was while he was staring down at his twenty-fifth serving (and was it just him, or were the pieces multiplying?) that he started thinking that this might not be such a good idea... and if he didn't know better (he knew he didn't) he'd think that maybe that queasy feeling and slight gag-reflex at the back of his throat might mean something.
She then thrust her plate forward, demanding "more please."
"But Ino..." Shikamaru kind of sweatdropped, "that's your fortieth helping..."
Even Shikamaru couldn't help but being a little scared at the glare she gave him mixed with a voice that could freeze water to ice "but. I'm. still. hungry!"
And that was it for Choji.
Shikamaru and Ino watched as Choji ran off, footing them with the bill.
He then drifted his gaze back to Ino, though he still maintained a cautious distance "Is there something you want to tell me?"
"What?" she tossed her hair over a haughty shoulder, a slight smirk of victory on her features, "I have a high metabolism."
pst… hey, you know what all the cool kids are doing? (shifty eyes)
They're hanging out with Go and smoking Review in back alleys… You should try it!
