Feels own wrist. What the- I'm alive! Huh, that's weird. Since I haven't

updated in over....three freaking months! Sorry but school and my computer

got sick and I had to pay a VERY high doctors bill for it, and then I got new

shoes and I had to stare at them for like three hours because their so new

and shiny. =D Here we go!



Soon the moon was bright and high in the sky, looking over the three groups

of children. Ino was lying in the grass again looking up in the moon.

"Ever hear of the man in the moon, Shika?"

Shikameru was sitting near the fire he and Chouji made, a few feet away.

"Huh? Oh. No."

It was quite then Chouji asked out of the blue,

"What about it?"

He said well ripping the fish he got apart and talking with his mouth full.

"Well. My mother told me that if you make a wish to the moon when

it's like this, then the Man in The Moon grants you a wish."

Like clock work, Shika and Chouji looked up at the big white ball in the star

filled sky. Chouji opened one eye, and snorted.

"Cool. I guess. Oh well. I'm tired. I'll see you two in the morning."

Chouji stood up and went over to his bag. He pulled out his sleeping bag

that had a Leaf Ninja symbol on it, and slipped in, soon falling asleep.

"Shika. Come here a sec."

Ino's voice broke the silence of the night. Shika looked back over his

shoulder to see the top of Ino's blond hair.

"*Sigh* Fine."

He stood up and was soon sitting next to Ino looking up into the sky with

her. She pulled herself up, and then pulled her knees into her chest. She

tilted her head to face him but was resting her head on the top of her arms,

that were on her knees.

'He's kinda...cute in the moonlight.'

"You know... Chouji ruined the moment before."

Shika looked over at her with a raised eyebrow.

"What do you me-"

He was cut off when Ino pulled him into her lips. She closed her eyes and

held the sides of Shika's head in her hands, pulling him in as close as

possible. Shika's eyes were as wide as they could go without falling out of

his head. But soon they half closed, and then closed all the way as he

himself sunk into the kiss. He found his own hand resting on hers. Ino

looked deep into Shika's eyes when they pulled apart. Her hands still

cupping his face. He looked back at her, with the most careful look.

"Good night."

Ino quietly whispered. She got up and walked off to her own sleeping back.

Shika kept sitting were he was, and looked back at the moon.

"Thanks."

He said to the moon, but more to himself. He made sure she was asleep

before he got up and went to his own bag. When he did, he could tell that he

would have a great night of sleep.

I know. I'm so lazy. Really short story, and I haven't updated in over three

months. I'M SO SORRY! Not only did my computer get the blaster virus,

but I have school, and other junk going on. =P I just don't have enough

hours in the day to do all my stuff. I need more then 24 hours!! Oh

well...review. Give me ideas, I'm out of them.
