*Cries* Look at the reviews. I'm so happy. Thank you all so very , very, mush. I love all of you! Well...no, I love Shikamaur, not you people. =P. Here we go!
"Are we there yet?"
"For the hundred time Naruto. NO!"
Naruto was starting to get on everyone's nerves, but he was driving Saskue crazy. The bouncing blond was in lead of everyone for the first hour, but with the sun that was beating down at the children Naruto started to slowly slow down. Now he was behind Sasuke dragging his feet asking very three seconds if they were there yet.
"Boy! It's getting hot."
Kiba announced and started to unzip his jacket. He pulled down his hood to relive a head of messy brown hair. Poor Akamaru was panting like crazy, with his head poking out of Kiba's pack.
"Who less thinks we should take a break?"
Naruto looked around at everyone's else.
"It wouldn't help any of us if one of us passed out from the heat."
Sakura said while flapping a hand in front of her face to try and cool herself down. Soon everyone dropped their packs and sat down in the grass. Hinata also looked like she was about to pass out, and unzipped her jacket. Kiba looked her way, and she blushed like crazy and decided not to take it off.
"Chill out. You have an undershirt."
He gave her a toothy grin. She thought about that. True, she did have a white T-shirt like Kiba under her jacket and Shino (who now his own rain over coat off) so she took hers off too. He smiled a bit and looked down at the ground. Kiba rolled his eyes.
"I should have worn a tank top today."
Ino said as she tied her hair up into a bun so the heat from her long blond hair bring down on her neck.
"Hehe. Now were twins Shika-chan."
She said in a smile looking at him with closed eyes.
"Uh?"
He looked up at her to see her hair was up on top of her head like his little ponytail was. He blushed a bit and looked down at his hands.
"Yeah. Cute."
'Smooth Shika. Smooth. Did I just say cute? Oh man...'
Ino took of her arm band cloths and put them into her pack. She wouldn't need those anytime soon. Sakura tied her dress flaps around her waist so now her legs were bear. Sasuke had to look at that for a moment, before he sharply turned away. Ino saw that and had her jaw to the floor. Sakura looked her way and stuck her tongue out at her.
Inner Sakura-'Gasp! He looked at me with my dress up! Hell yeah!!'
Inner Ino-I can't believe he would look at her legs! My legs are much prettier!"
"Sooooooo...Does anyone have a plane, or are we just going to keep walking?"
Naruto asked with his own jacket at his feet. Chouji looked up at him and nodded to everyone else, as if agreeing with what he just said.
"What does the map look like?"
The team leaders pulled out the maps and looked at them. There were nine little dots all next to eachother, and now there were mountains that were starting to appear behind them, and a little in front.
"We will have to keep going forward until we cover some more ground, then we will have to spilt up if we want any chance of getting to the Mage."
Sasuke said with his almighty wisdom. Ino sighed.
"Your so smart Saskue-kun."
Sasuke raised an eyebrow at Ino, and turned back to the map. She blushed slightly, and looked down. Shika rolled his eyes.
"Ok then! Let's get moving then."
Kiba stood back up, already full of energy and stuffed his jacket into his pack nearly crushing Akamaru if he didn't jump out of the way and onto Hinata's head.
"Bark! Bark! Whimper."
"Yeah, yeah. I know. Live with it."
Hinata giggled slightly and petted Akamaru on the top of his head.
"What already? No way!"
Naruto said and crossed his arms in front of him. Kiba got an idea, and leaned down to his two teammates to whisper something. Shino and Hinata nodded, and Kiba leaned back up.
"Ok. You guys can stay here...My team's just going to get the item first! Haha!"
Team ten ran away from everyone else.
"Damn it."
Sasuke muttered under his breath. He yanked Naruto by the collar and was soon dragging Naruto by the neck behind him and Sakura. Chasing after Kiba.
"Come you guys!"
Ino said happily and chased after everyone else as well. Shika shrugged at Chouji and then the two boys ran after their own leader.
"This is were we spilt up suckers!"
Team Ten ran off to the left, with Kiba's voice ringing out,
"First one to find the Mage, bring back the item! Whoo!"
And then the three of them were gone. Sasuke smirked to himself. So this is how it's going to be. It was Kiba's funeral. Sasuke turned to Sakura.
"Well take the high road, ok?"
She blushed, and nodded.
"Right, Sasuke-kun!"
He smiled at her, and then Team Seven, while dragging Naruto, ran into the open fields of wheat.
"Looks like we go right guys."
Ino yelled while looking over her shoulder to her team mates. Chouji was struggling behind them, but he still kept up. Shikamaur was now right behind Ino. Without thinking, he grabbed her wrist and pulled to a direction.
"Come on. We can cut them off if we head up this way."
Ino nodded and let herself be lead by Shika.
"Wait up guys!"
Chouji yelled as he ran after them.
***
"Kiba-kun, do...do you know were we are going?"
"Nope."
Hinata was not expecting that answer, so she didn't answer back. They stopped running and were now walking through a moist jungle.
"What I wanna know is how the scenery changed all of a sudden."
One moment they were walking in a tall grass field, now it looked like they were in the Amazon. Shino looked peaceful enough. All the cricket and bug noises coming from everywhere made him smile.
'Home sweet home.'
Shino thought as they kept walking.
"It's probably because of that Mage. I won't be supprised if it changes again."
Shino said looking around. Kiba nodded. He pulled out there map and gave it a look. Three dots were in the middle, moving up. Three dots were to the left, coming closer to the middle dots to the left. And then the other three dots that were standing still. Words started to appear as well. 'Kinoku Path' appeared in front of the middle red dots. 'Unborn Wise.' was to the far left dots. And 'Tunkin Mids.' was were Kiba and his team stood.
"Huh. Well, I guess we can keep going forward. Not much choices here."
Kiba put the map away again, and started to walk.
"You better no get us lost Kiba, or I'm not going to be too happy with you."
Shino said with his normal expression that was hidden behind his sunglasses and trench coat. Kiba gulped and kept going.
***
Shika let go of Ino, and she pulled out their map.
"Hey you were right. Were in front of them. Way to go, Shika."
Shika gave a small smile.
"Yeah, well...you know. Whatever."
Ino smirked back at him.
" How are do you think Chouji is?"
"By the way we were running, I bet he must be a few minute behind. Plus with those two stupid bags of his."
Ino nodded and looked around.
"Wait a second. What happened to the grass field we were in."
Shika also took this to note when he looked around. The tall grass filed was replaced with a wood forest with a babbling brook next to were they were standing.
"Huff. Huff. Huff. You guys could have, huff, slowed down a bit. Huff."
"About time Chouji! Come on. Its a small stream, and it hot I need a drink."
The three of them walked to the small little river, and sat down by the ridge. Chouji sat a little bit farther away from the two because he saw a fish bob up from the water. Chouji licked his lips at the sight of fish under a fire, and went over to see it a bit closer. Shika was left sitting next to Ino who was dipping her feet into the cool water. She let out an 'eep' when she stuck a toe in and the rest of her foot followed.
"Ahhh...must better."
She flung her head back at the great feeling from the water and laid down with her arms behind her head. Shika looked over her as she laid next to him. She was so pretty laying the brushes of leafs, and branches, with a very peaceful expression on her.
"Hey Shika."
He jerked up to hear her voice enter his ear.
"Yeah."
"What are you thinking about?"
'Say bunnies! Wait no. Tea? No, noodles! Yeah, maybe training. Or-'
"You."
"What?"
"Uhh! You-gr-nnin."
She sat up on her elbows and looked at him.
"What's a You-gr-nnin?"
"Umm...It's a type of..."
He looked around and saw his savior.
"Flower. It's a type of flower."
He leaned over and picked up a blue and green tulip type flower with red dots on it and placed it in Ino's hair. She blushed as her hand reached up to touch it.
"Wow. It's very pretty. Thanks."
"Uh-uh."
She leaned back up and leaned into Shika a bit to ask a question.
"How did you know it's name?"
Shika was looking at the water when she leaned in, so when he turned to face her to answer her question, they were nose to nose.
"Uhhh...I kinda..."
He tilted his head a bit to the side, and Ino came a little closer.
"I...."
He closed his eyes, and so did she.
"Yes...?"
'SPLASH!'
They both snapped out of it, and yanked back there heads from each other.
"Haha! Hey guys look! I caught it!"
Chouji indeed caught the fish, and was now soaking wet as he jumped in the water to get the stupid fish. Ino didn't look at Shika and stood up to full height stretching to the sky.
"Nice on, Chouji."
She happily/annoyed said as she walked over to her other partner to help him out of the water.
'Damn it! I was so close. Chouji I'm going to get you for this.'
Shika stood up as well, and picked up Ino's shoes, and the walked over to them. He handed Ino her shoes without looking at her, and then put his hands in his pockets. He took them and put them back on her feet.
"All right guys. If we want to caught up to Sasuke-kun!"
She announced and walked off knowing the two boys would follow her. Chouji placed the fish in his bag, and looked up at Shika.
"You ok, man?"
"Huh? Yeah. I am. Let's go before she gets lost."
Chouji nodded with his chubby little (cute!) face and they walked off again. ***
So close Shikamaur, yet so far away! Sorry man, but you can't have your moment yet. I'll give it you, but I'm going to let you suffer first. Sorry! Now if I get more reviews, then I will give Shika his moment in the light. No reviews means that Shika is going to be stuck. Can you live with your self by doing to that cute bastard!? Can you!? HUH!? *Ahem* Sorry about that. Review! Anime Huggler lover praise. ;)
*Cries* Look at the reviews. I'm so happy. Thank you all so very , very, mush. I love all of you! Well...no, I love Shikamaur, not you people. =P. Here we go!
