Jessica walked down the street, running her hands up and down along the corrugated metal of the park fence. She was contemplating, contemplating what to do. She didn't notice the young man and his dog following her, ducking behind telegraph poles, trying to control their chakra.

Suddenly, Jessica was jolted out of her thoughts by a large rush of escaping chakra and a loud curse word.

"SHIT!"

Jessica sighed and spun around on the spot, placing her hands on her hips.

"What are you doing, Kiba?"

Kiba came out of his rather lame hiding spot, a sheepish expression on his face, followed by Akamaru, head bowed and looking rather embarrased.

"Well?"

Kiba sighed, and rubbing his hand on the back of his head, he began to explain.

"Well, you see, what happened was. The Hokage sent us to follow you to see if you were ok after Hinata got hurt, that's all!"

Jessica looked at him with a dumbfounded expression on her face.

"That is the lamest excuse I have ever heard coming out of your pie hole, Kiba Inuzaka!" Her inner self fumed.

"Ok, ok! I just wanted to ask you on a date!!"

There was a pause and suddenly, Jessica was rolling on the ground, laughing her head off.

"Is that all you wanted to ask? HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Kiba kicked the fence and shouted "It's not funny!!!!! I'm serious!"

Jessica's laughter stopped and she jumped up, dusting herself off.

"Really? You're serious?"

Kiba nodded.

"Well in that case, TAKE ME OUT TO DINNER, DOG BOY!!!!!"

Kiba perked up. "Ok! Where do you want to go?"

Jessica paused, with a thoughtful expression for a minute then her eyes lit up mischievously.

"To Carlito's!!"

Kiba's jaw hit the ground and his eyes bulged out.

"That-that's the most expensive restaurant in town!! It's almost $150 for a small dinner!!"

Jessica ran away, giggling.

"Sucks to be you then!!"

Kiba ran after her, yelling out abuse while Akamaru raced ahead, barking happily.

In some bushes nearby, the rest of Team 8 watched the happy chaos below, smirking like crazy (except for Shino. He had a neutral expression on his face) and laughing to themselves.

"She fi-fi-finally got what she wa-wa-wanted!!" Hinata said happily.

Kurenai turned to her and grinned. "Took him long enough!!"

She exclaimed.

They turned back to the chaos below, all thinking of how they could sabotage the date.
