this chapter Chouji/Kagome
Chapter 7: And the winner is?
Admittedly Ino was not sure whom to give her affections to as a younger child, she really hadn't been all that into boys growing up until it became a competition to out-do her friend and rival Sakura. Then she had set her sights on Uchiha Sasuke, again mostly because Sakura had, and had allowed them to stay there until they had graduated academy and she had not been placed on the Uchiha's team. Again she had lost to Sakura and she hated that but she found herself surrounded by Shikamaru and Chouji all the time, as they were on her own team. The Nara was about the laziest thing she'd ever seen, and Chouji… well he only moved if there was food involved.
It was slow to manifest, that any other male could due instead of the Uchiha, but she had wanted him for a very long time. Then he ledft and was a traitor to them all and that had really opened her eyes. Again she had looked at all those around her and had thought that perhaps she could fall for the Nara. Sure he was lazier then sin, but with enough work she could fix him so that he was the perfect boyfriend, and maybe someday more. That plan though didn't fall into place as she had wanted it to mostly because the Nara had fallen for the Kazekage's sister.
Not that she blamed him or anything, really they were a totally cute couple, spiky hair and all. She'd allowed herself a bit of 'Me-time' after that more or less to get her head on straight and had eventually set her sites on the other member of their team, but again found herself too late. Someone had taken him from her as well. And again she couldn't be angry because the girl was just too damn loveable. She had come to them from no where, lost and afraid, having no clue about ninja's of their kind, blooded, broken. Many were not trusting of her but she'd made friends fast.
Neji had attempted to woo her, as well as many other Heirs, some going better then others, and as far as Ino new Kagome still wasn't on speaking terms with Kiba, but as it turned out the humble little thing had fallen head over heals for Chouji. And they were such an odd couple. She was alluring, graceful and all around open and airy, anything most ninja were not, she was small and petite in every since of the word, but as she and Shika sat across from them and watched them battle for the pork on the grill. The teasing playfulness in both their eyes, along with that gleam of someone that would stab you with a chopstick for the food.
Ino found she couldn't really be mad about the fact that Kagome Higurashi, girl from no where, without a home, had taken the man she'd decided would be her own. No, Ino couldn't be mad when Kagome made Chouji smile like that, or when Kagome defended his honor when it came to his weight, or anything of the things Kagome did for him. She was a loving woman, and she loved Chouji, more so it was clear to Ino that he loved her too. She sighed contently as they eventually shared the 'pot' and kissed sweetly afterwards, at least with them getting married soon, she'd be an Auntie! She didn't know how long it would take but she couldn't wait to pinch those sure-to-be-pink-chubby-cheeks.
Giggling to herself she wondered if she'd be able to find a love as sweet as theirs, and decided that maybe she'd set her sites on someone else. After all, there were far fewer Kunoichi then Shinobi, so for a male that wanted a female that knew the lifestyle she was still prime for choosing. Smiling as she and Shika decided to leave the love birds alone they both left. The kissing pair still unaware that they were now a bit more alone. Neither seem to notice, or care, and that was just fine with them.
AN: The pairing might not seem like its there b/c of who's POV the fic is from but its there. Though i dont mind writing another Kakashi/kags. But I'm going to go through all the males i like before I put up another Kakashi/kags. Kakashi/kags was Chapter 2. :3
