I acknowledge that I don't own Naruto in any way shape or form, unfortunately, and that this is all in good fun. Please read and Enjoy!
Chouji and Ino are making plans for our two strategists... what will become of them. Read and find out!
"Chouji, do you think Shika likes Temari?" Ino asked as Chouji continued to eat his BBQ.
"Temari and Shikamaru?" Chouji asked as he looked a crossed the table at his teammate.
"Yeah, I mean look at how they act around each other."
"What are you talking about, Ino" Chouji asked around his food. "As far I've seen it's nothing more than polite interaction, maybe professional admiration."
"Well I guess you had to be there. I mean you should have seen how they acted during Mission Return the Favor, as you guys like to call it. They were working so well together that it was almost as if they could read each others thoughts," Ino sighed remembering it.
"Hmph, not that surprising as they are both strategists, Ino," Chouji said not really caring, 'Mmmm, Food,' he thought and promptly dived back for more BBQ.
"Chouji…. Save some for me," Ino whined, "Any ways, why aren't you helping me with this?"
Chouji sighed and looked at the blonde in front of him, "What do you want from them, Ino?"
"Well, I at least want them to be better friends."
"And how are they not friends now?"
"Psh- They don't do anything out side of missions. Even when she's visiting Kohona they don't do much, besides bicker."
"How can they, when they're from two different villages. Besides not everyone can have the same friendship we have with Shikamaru." Chouji noted pointing his chopsticks at her.
Ino fell silent as she ate some of the BBQ, pondering their problem. Chouji sighed hoping that one day he could talk to Ino about who he liked. As for the whole Shikamaru/Temari thing, he knew that his childhood friend liked the sand kunochi but would never act on it, even as friends.
"They could do some correspondence I guess…," Chouji murmured.
"That's it!" Ino Shrieked, causing Chouji to cringe a little. "They can talk on-line!"
Chouji couldn't help but smile at Ino's enthusiasm.
"And how are you going to manage that?" He asked.
"Well, I have Temari's name as well as Shikamaru's. I can give her his name saying, that this person's good to talk to. She's always telling me how bored she is in Suna, so this will be a solution for that. And you can give Shika her name!" Ino exclaime, happy with her plan.
"And you think Temari will be willing to talk to a 'stranger'?"
"Sure why not," She shrugged, "Besides it will allow them to get to know each other without knowing it."
Chouji smiled at her before replying, "Ok, I'll help,"
As Ino continued to babble on about something, Chouji could help but think, 'Wonder how long it will take the two of them to figure out who's who.' He then went back to paying attention to Ino's scheming.
And so it begins...
