How can I tell you? - Chapter 6
Returning to memories of sweet ramen.
-----------
It was early dawn, and they were not even halfway yet to Wind village. Sasuke knew he was pushing himself too much, He was Tired, exhausted from running. He Punched himself in the face earlier, swearing to his comrades, neji and Chouji, that they should have taken the Carrage. But Like Naruto and Him, they knew If Orochimaru's heir were running loose like Hokage thinks he is, He could Kill Sasuke and the others inside with ease. He knew it would be better off to run in the open where they could see where exactly they were going.
"Damit... were not even near Iwai or Wind village... This's killing me!" Neji complained.
Chouji seemed to have lost some weight and was barely catching up to the two.
"Hey!.... Sasuke! Why not eat! Im Huuuuungryyyy!" Chouji Said to the raven haired leader.
Sasuke stopped the group for a moment.
"we could rest... but we could not stay safe like this for long... here, chouji!"
Sasuke gave chouji the remains of his Instant ramen filled bag.
"Neji... Chouji's finished all our supplies..." Sasuke said to Neji who had slumped into the floor.
"heh... its ok... I have some Soldier pills... here take one."
Neji passed a pill to Sasuke and they both swollowed it. Moments later, their fatique faded away and their chakra seemed to have increased their stamina.
"Chouji! Youre done with those food?"
"Yeah! good grub! lets go!" Said chouji as he wiped the ramen soup remains from his mouth.
Neji looked sternly at Sasuke.
"hey... do you think it was a good Idea to let chouji have 30 bowls of instant ramen?"
"He seemed to have enjoyed gulping them all at once... after all he didnt break naruto's record of 50 yet..."
Neji let out a laugh and patted sasuke on the back.
"youre not bad at all Uchiha... that Haruno must have given you some witch medicine or somethin' "
Sasuke didnt mind Neji's joke and just started to run on the path, Neji had followed too, but Chouji? well... I might say he wasnt moving... Sasuke and neji found this out and looked back.
Neji looked at Chouji.
"hmm... I had a hunch this would happen..."
Sasuke crossed his arms.
"damn, how are we going to go to wind village with him like that?"
"hey... I can still move!" Chouji said moving his feet and arms.
Neji looked at him sternly.
"this Is bad.... the sun'll be up any minute and we havent even reached halfway..." neji said.
Sasuke looked at chouji's fat face.
"hey... remember the time you and Hinata joined us in our Picnic?"
Neji tried to rememeber.
"well... I remember vaugely... All I remember was Hinata was Trying to Give Naruto her Ramen..."
Sasuke tried to look back.
------------ The Picnic -------------
It was a wonderful sunday afternoon. Naruto, Sakura, Ino, Shikamaru, Chouji and even Sasuke were enjoying the day in a picnic that sakura and ino had planned again. They also Invited hinata and Neji this time, but it seemed that they will be kinda late. Sakura had brought some sandwiches, Ino had brought some curry that her mother made. Chouji had brought a sackful of food (It was for him... obviously...), Shikamaru...and Sasuke (whom sakura pushed into coming) Didnt bring anything, they had the same attitude of thinking bringing something was a bother. Naruto was Enjoying the food, when Hinata and Neji finally arrived.
"Say! Neji! Hinata!" Naruto waved to them, "How come you're late!?"
Hinata became nervous.
"umm... I... I..."
Neji raised an eyebrow and decieded to help her sister talk to her all time infatuation.
"heh... She cooked ramen for you naruto..."
Hinata showed a wheelbarrow that had carried a big pot of steaming hot Ramen. Everyone could smell it's sweet aroma... however... naruto was the first attracted to it. Naruto took his bowl and passed it to hinata.
"eh.. hinata... could ya give me some?" Naruto said as he held his bowl at one hand, and his other on his head.
Hinata blushed madly and smiled as she opened the pot and poured some ramen into Naruto's Bowl.
"Yahoo!! Hinata has ramen!!! Yay!" Naruto Cheered as he waited for his ramen.
Everyone, and even sasuke Giggled at the sight. It was so cute to everyone. They agreed that It was a miracle Naruto was too clueless to notice Hinata's obvious feelings for him.
Sakura laughed.
"heh... Hey Naruto! Dont finish all of hinata's Ramen!" she laughed.
Naruto Looked at Sakura with his 'closed eyes and lower out' face as He Took the Ramen-filled bowl from Hinata's 'near-to-shaking' hands.
"and why not?" he smirked as he sat on his place on the floor.
Ino evilly laughed.
"hahahah... Youre not Hinata's husband to grobble up all her cooking you know...hahah..."
Hinata was overhearing those as she closed the lid of her pot and sat next to sakura (facing Naruto... o), She blushed a little and tried out one of sakura's sandwiches.
Naruto snarled at sakura's comment.
"Hey... Dont fool with me while Im eating Sasuk-idiot..." He Said as he used his chopsticks to slurp the noodles into his mouth, "hey... these are better than the ramen in the Ramen shop!"
Neji smirked at Naruto.
"that's because it's her own recipe... Dobe..."
Naruto gulped down the bowl and asked for more. Shikamaru and chouji got their share of ramen from hinata and gobbled them up.
"Compared to Ino's cooking... This is godsent..." Shikamaru commented.
Ino ran behind Shikamaru and gave him a slight whack on the head. Giving him a small bump.
"ow.... "
"Never comment like that Nara Shikamaru If you dont want to get killed..."
Shikamaru put his bowl down and sweatdropped.
"hey! hey! Your highness! Dont get all angry! Im sorry ok?"
Sakura and Sasuke were having time of their own too... It was a really kawaii sight when you see Sasuke letting sakura wipe his mouth dry after he drank the ramen's soup from his bowl.
"here sasuke.... let me wipe you..."
"not... here sakura...!" he whispered.
"hey... Im in charge here... now I have to wipe your dirty mouth...!"
Sasuke blushed a little as he slighly push sakura away from him, thinking others may see them like that. But sakura did so anyway and wiped his mouth with her hankercheif.
Naruto was enjoying his 4th bowl. He had to eat fast if he wanted more. He was globbering up as Hinata was looking at him giggling to the sight. Hinata stopped giggling when she saw naruto stop eating.
"hey Hinata!" Naruto said to get Hinata's attention.
Hinata blushed a little and looked at naruto.
"Y-yes naruto?"
"this ramen's great! I'll have to eat at your place some time!" he playfully said to the shy Medic-to-be.
Neji Laughed at them.
"Well... umm... okay..." Hinata said to naruto as she twiddled her thumbs like she usually does.
Naruto Smiled.
"all right! free ramen at Hinata's place! horray!"
He was about to return to his food when he saw it gone from his hands. he looked to his right and saw chouji eating his ramen.
"Heyyyy! Give that back!"
It was too late... Chouji had ate Naruto's food. It made Naruto quite mad.
"Hey! That was my food!"
"You were letting it get cold! Hinata! one more please!"
Naruto stood up.
"hey! You ate mine already!"
"so?"
"The last servings are mine!"
"so what? I'll eat them for you...!"
"grrr.... Why... Y-Y-You... P-P-"
Everyone stopped to watch and Sasuke and Shikamaru carried the two far from the food so they wont do what they think chouji will do.
"PIG!" Naruto finally said after Sasuke and Shikamaru pushed them afar.
"you call me a PIG??!" Chouji said as he inflated himself and became a round ball. Rolling and rolling around, chasing naruto he was running. Hinata took the last two bowls and ran towards them, hoping that her plan would work so they could stop fighting.
"hey GUYS!" Hinata Shouted from a safe distance, "dont fight! Here! Take these ramen!"
as soon as Chouji and Naruto heard this, They both came to hinata all puppy eyed. Hinata gave them their bowls and smiled as she saw them eat happily.
"Hey... Hinata's not bad at this... first she found a sure cure for colds, now she found a remedy to Naruto and Chouji's Unbearable hunger...." Shikamaru laughed at the sight. Sasuke agreed with him. Meanwhile...
Naruto looked at Hinata, he seemed to have heard her stomach growl.
"Hey hinata...youre still hungry arnt ya? wanna share my ramen?" he asked.
Hinata felt her stomach growl for a while, but she denies that she is hungry.
"H-hey... I'm okay... go ahead and eat naruto..."
"suit yourself...." Naruto Smirked as he gulped his Food down.
---------Back to reality------------
"I got it!" Sasuke thought aloud... "hey Chouji you..."
Neji was surprized at Sasuke's Idea.
"are you Damned crazy?! Chouji will-"
"that's why Im doing this Damned Idea Neji!"
All this gibberish caught Chouji's attention. "what?"
"PIG!"
"what did you say?" Chouji asked to make sure what Sasuke said was what he thought is was.
Well... It was....
"PIIIG!!!!!!"
then Moments later, Sasuke and neji found themselves sprinting for their lives towards the wind country. Well, you gotta hand it sasuke... His idea did work...
Neji laughed as he ran and dodged some of Chouji's Small-but-deadly Bounces.
"hey.. how long do you think this will last...?"
Sasuke was too busy fixing his chakra on his feet.
"If we dont stay careful, we'd be pancakes... just run damnit.."
Chouji kept rolling.
" Horray For Fat People!!! " he Proudly shouted to the two as he rolled, and bounced. Following them on a really fast pace to Wind Village.
