CHAPTER TWO
"Oh, it's really you!" she squealed. Itachi did nothing but gave a weak smile.
"You're going to China too?" she asked, "Is it for a filming?"
Itachi ignored.
"Sheesh, I was just asking," Ino sat back on her seat.
Finally, the plane started to take off. Ino screamed.
"Ahh!! It's taking off already!!" she whined loudly and grabbed Itachi's arm. Itachi moved his arm away from Ino but her grip was too strong. She wouldn't get off.
"This is how we live," Naruto lied as Sakura cleaned up the place.
"Good to hear," the agent said as he took a look around.
"No defects…" he mentioned and Naruto nodded.
"Is it correct?" the agent asked as Naruto counted the money. He replied with a simple 'Yes'.
"So you can move everything out?" he questioned and Naruto nodded once again.
"We'll be counting on you," he continued, "So if you'll excuse me…"
Naruto and Sakura nodded and the agent left.
"27, 28, 29, and 30…" Sakura counted as she walked back to the living room.
"Sakura-chan," Naruto scratched the back of his head, "don't you think we're going a little too far with this?"
"Uh.." Sakura thought about it for a second, "let's just pray that Ino will forgive us. I'm sure she will."
"Right…" he sighed.
"Look! There's a plane!" Sakura ran to the window.
"Ino, gomenne…" she said, looking up at the plane.
"Gomenne, Ino," Naruto repeated, "Are you on that plane, Ino?"
"Ino, gomenne," Sakura said again.
Meanwhile, Ino was eating on the plane. Itachi stared at her strangely. She was eating so much so fast! He looked disgusted. Ino kept eating. She'd ask him if she could have some of his lunch and sometimes she'd even ask for a trade for food. He just stayed quiet and gave it to her. By the time Itachi's finished eating, she'd be on her seconds. For the rest of the time, Ino talked and did unnecessary things while Itachi ignored her.
"You're staying at the Rubina Hotel too?" she asked.
Itachi moved away, but Ino was still staring at him. "What are you looking at?" he asked.
She didn't answer. She just kept asking questions.
"This is my first plane ride," she said, not caring whether Itachi was listening or not. "Do your ears hurt?"
Itachi sighed.
"They said you should swallow hard to avoid it," she continued, "like this--"
Unfortunately, Ino swallowed too hard and suddenly threw up on his arm. Itachi was about to throw up himself.
"Oh! Gomennasai!!" she apologized.
Itachi ran to the washroom and washed off. He took off his long sleeve sweater and headed back.
"Excuse me, but are there any unoccupied seats?" he asked the stewardess.
"Sorry, but there are none left," she replied.
Itachi sighed, "Souka."
He sat back down at his seat and found Ino sleeping. He sighed once again.
