Hinata smiled at the picture in her hands. It was a photograph on Ino, taken by her mother while Ino was helping Mrs. Yamanaka with her garden. Ino's long blond hair ran down her back and Ino's blue eyes stared brightly into the camera as she gave a huge grin.
"She was beautiful." Sakura smiled fondly.
"Yeah, I know. She never would admit it, though," she said, giggling. Hinata giggled a bit and handed the photo back to Sakura with her free hand. The other was lightly clasped with Naruto's, who had been previously talking to Lee. Now he looked at Hinata and smiled. It seemed almost impossible that it had been a few months since Hinata couldn't see. Now she took everything in as if it was still her first time seeing it. But of course, Naruto thought, Things like that change people. Then again, I think maybe Hinata was always like this…
"So I heard there's gonna be a lot of new kids next year," Kiba told the group, leaning back in his hands with his legs splayed out in front of him, "What do you think they'll be like?" Sakura and Sasuke shrugged.
"I don't know."
"I don't care."
"Troublesome."
"YOUTHFUL!"
"What he said."
"Erm, n-nice…"
Kiba glanced around the group at the couples and huffed.
"Hmph, everyone's starting to date now," he stated, "Well, at least I got Shino. Right, buddy?"
"Actually, I have a date Saturday with a girl from my science class," Shino answered coldly, "It seems she is interested in bugs almost as much as I am." Kiba frowned.
"Whatever. Lee, buddy? You're still single, right?" Lee jumped up and hit his chest with a fist.
"I am sorry my youthful friend, but it seems I have a date tomorrow with the lovely lady from my English class who also enjoys taijutsu!" Kiba groaned and hit his forehead. Sasuke snickered, and Sakura elbowed him in the ribs.
"Well, at least Shikamaru's still single," Kiba stated, "There's no way anyone would date a lazy guy like him." Just then a girl with sandy blond hair tied in four ponytails approached and placed her hands on her hips. Shikamaru, who lay in the grass with his hands behind his head, cracked an eye open to gaze at her.
"Well, well, if it isn't lazy ass Shika," Temari smirked. Everyone other than Shikamaru glanced around at each other in confusion. Shikamaru sighed.
"Stalker," he greeted. Temari glared at him, and he sighed.
"Fine, troublesome woman. Temari. Happy now?" Temari smirked.
"Ecstatic," she replied, "But before I forgive you completely for being an idiot, you have to do something." Shikamaru sighed. He had expected this.
"And what would that be?" Temari's smirk grew.
"You have to take me on a date." Shikamaru's eyebrow raised. Hadn't been expecting that. Everyone else looked around at each other in surprise, before looking back at the pair. Finally Shikamaru sighed.
"Fine."
"Eight o'clock Saturday. Don't be late, lazy ass."
"Fine."
"See ya, lazy ass."
"Later, troublesome woman." Temari walked off, and everyone gaped at Shikamaru. He sighed and closed his eyes, leaning back.
"Women are troublesome," he muttered, then cracked an eye open to look at Kiba, "But it's better than without."
"Shut up…" Kiba muttered, growling under his breath. Everyone laughed at his expense, and Sakura gazed up at the sky. A smile graced her face. We're all ok, Ino. It's all ok now.
"You're gonna have to go dance alone!" Naruto burst out in laughter, and Kiba shouted before trying to attack him. Sakura giggled and rolled her eyes at the boy's antics, making Hinata laugh. Finally Kiba settled down, but not before hitting Naruto on the head with a textbook.
"Oww," Naruto whined, hiding behind Hinata and pouting, "No fair!" Hinata giggled and proceeded to check to see if he had a bruise, which in turn led to him stealing a kiss and making her almost faint. Yep, they were all alright.
