It has been the mandatory 72 hours since Temari was taken to the ANBU Black Ops HQ. She was banned from the village and Ino is still a little shook up from the whole ordeal. Shika and Ino just finished eating and they moved to the living room and sat on the couch.
"Ino, it's okay, she is gone and no longer welcome in the village." Shika said as he wrapped his arm around his wife's shoulder.
"Shika, do you think Choji hates us for getting his girlfriend banned from the village?" Ino asked while resting her head on her husband's shoulder.
"No love, I think if Temari would have hurt us and Choji saw it he would have gone off and gotten her banned because for Choji his friends and family always came first." Shika replied.
"Yeah your right, I love you." Ino said in response.
"I love you too." Shika said.
Shika placed his lips to Ino's and he nibbled on her lower lip. Ino parted her lips slightly. And they broke apart after a minute or so.
"Shika we have been married for four years today." Ino said suddenly remembering their anniversary.
"You're right it is July 15th." Shika replied. He got up and walked to their bedroom and came back with a small box. He handed it to his wife of four years.
Ino opened it and saw a charm bracelet with three charms on it. "Awww Shika this is so sweet." Ino said as she held her wrist out so Shika could help her snap it closed.
"Well, the charms represent you, me and our baby." Shika replied. Ino left once the bracelet was on her wrist. She came back moments later with a small box.
"Sorry it is not much." Ino said when Shika opened it. It was a picture in a very elegant frame. The picture was of him and Choji at the theme park eating cotton candy.
"Ino this is lovely, I did not know you even took this picture." Shika said.
"I was saving it for something special because that was the day we completed our first mission without Asuma." Ino replied.
Shika pulled her into a tender kiss. Once they broke apart Shika placed the picture on the mantle of the fire place. They went to the kitchen and had a small lunch.
"Ino there are supposed to be a lot of fireflies out tonight, so you want to go to the park and watch them?" Shika asked.
"Shika, that is what you said when you first asked me out, yes I would love to." Ino replied. They got a picnic basket together and a blanket ready. Then they sat on the couch and watched their favorite movies until it was time to go watch the fireflies.
They are now sitting on the blanket in the park watching the beautiful fireflies. "Shika, it is so pretty." Ino said while watching the fire flies.
"Not as pretty as you are." Shika replied.
"This brings back memories of one of the greatest nights of my life, our first date." Ino responded.
"Yes it does." Was Shika's short reply. He then placed a gentle and tender kiss on the lips of the girl he loves so much.
"Shika it is getting late, let's go home." Ino said. Shika nodded and they packed up and walked home hand in hand. Once inside they sat on the couch.
"Shika, I love you so much, I just wish Choji was here…so we could brag about or date just like we did the day after our first date." Ino said.
"I know what you mean the look on his face when we told him we were dating and then described our first date, was priceless I wish we could have snapped a picture of it." Shika replied.
Ino and Shika shared a laugh. "Shika lets shower and go to bed, I am beat." Ino said trying to suppress a yawn but failing.
"Okay love" Shika said in response.
They went to the bathroom and took a quick shower. Shika and Ino both put on one of Shika's shirts and a pair of his boxers. Ino and Shika climbed into bed and got under the blankets. Ino put her head on Shika's cheat and Shika wrapped his arm around the love of his life. Ino fell into a peaceful slumber with Shika rubbing her stomach and the sound of his heart beat. Shika watched the sleeping beauty before him for a little over two hours and he too fell into a peaceful slumber.
