Yea I haven't written in a while because I'm pissed. No one is reviewing. It's making me mad. I don't care what you say, just say something. I feel so unloved.
On with this story
Chapter 9
Its ok Shikamaru
Ino woke up early. She went out in the camp and built up the fire. She knew Shikamaru would b the next one up. He always was. What should I do what should I say he'll be out here any minute "think Ino think" she mumbled.
She heard footsteps coming from the stream. She jumped and turned around. Shikamaru was coming up the trail with a towel over his shoulder and a bar of soap in his hand. He was looking down at the ground. I hope Ino doesn't bitch at me or start crying. Shikamaru looked up. Ino was looking down at the grown, her bangs hanging over her eyes. Shikamaru silently passed her.
"Shikamaru"
He stopped walking. He could barley hear it but he knew she said his name. Shikamaru glanced over his shoulder Ino was still looking at the ground. Maybe it was just the wind or my mind playing tricks on me. Shikamaru was about to start walking again but then he heard it again but a little louder.
"Shikamaru"
Shikamaru turned around this time, but Ino still hadn't moved. "What is it Ino"
"Shikamaru, I'll be fine. Go ahead don't let me get in your way. If you truly love her don't let her get away" she said holding back tears.
"Thank you Ino"

"We should reach the gates of Konoha in a few minutes" said Shikamaru looking around.
"Good I'm hungry" said Naruto picturing the Ichiraku noodle bar.
"We have to go see Tsunade-sama first" said Sakura
"aw but can't you guys go without me" wined Naruto
"NO" shouted every one at the same time.
Naruto sweatdroped and scratched the back of his head.
The gate came into view. Everyone cheered.
"Hey Naruto I'll race you to the gate" yelled Sasuke
They both diapered in a cloud of dust.
"Every one seems to be in a good mood today" said Choji smiling at his comrades.
"It's because were so anxious to get home" said Sakura smiling "lets catch up with Naruto and Sasuke."
They all started to run to catch up with Naruto and Sasuke, who where already at the gate waiting.

The group was climbing up the stairs to the Hokages office. They all were smiling. They completed the mission without a scratch and in less than a week. Tsunade-sama would be very proud of them all, but still something felt wrong. Why had Tsunade made it such a high level mission if it was so easy to accomplish. Maybe it was because they were dealing with the Sound Nins and Orochimaru, but still. Only one person had attacked them and she was very easy to beat. Maybe this was all part of Orochimaru's plan.
"Do you have an appointment with the hokage" asked a guard that was standing in front on the door.
"No but we have just came back from a mission and we must talk to her" said Shikamaru in his lazy voice.
"ok you may enter"
XxxxxxxX
"Back so soon I didn't expect you back for a few more days" said Tsunade smiling at them.
Good she is in a pleasant mood today"Well we would have been here earlier but we took the long way around to avoid attacks" said Shikamaru.
"Oi, Temari, Kankuro and Gaara. Welcome" said Tsunade as they entered the room.
"Our father thanks you for letting us stay here while the war is going on. He said he will pay you as soon as he can" said Temari in a friendly tone.
"No need. I am happy to do it. Have you made friends with them" asked Tsunade pointing to the konoha teens
"Yes we have" said Kankuro smiling politely.
"That's why I sent teens to fetch you and not adults so that you could make some friends in the village" said Tsunade.
"I have a qu-question to ask please Tsunade-sama" said Hinata
"What is it my dear" asked Tsunade.
"Were will our friends stay" Hinata asked. (she always thought of others over herself)
"I saw just about to say that" stated Tsunade "Naruto you have a spare room in your apartment right"
"Well yes but there's no bed or anything, and it's full of boxes" said Naruto.
"Well it's empty now and there are three beds in there" said Tsunade.
"So we will be staying with Naruto then" asked Temari.
"Yes if you want, or you could always stay in a hotel some were" said Tsunade.
"Naruto's house will be fine I suppose" said Kankuro.
"Ok good you all are dismissed" said Tsunade
XxxxxxxX
The group was walking toward Naruto's apartment.
"Hey guys how was the mission" yelled a boy running towards them.
The boy stopped in front of them and smiled his huge white dog at his side. He hugged Hinata who blushed and glanced at Naruto who didn't seem to mind.
"Hello Kiba-kun would you like to come with us" asked Hinata
"I don't have any thing else to do. Why not, where are we going" he asked
"We're going to my place to hang out" said Naruto.
"Cool" Kiba said.
They continued to walk down the busy Konoha streets until they reached Naruto's apartment. Naruto pulled the key out and opend the door.
