It was morning; the sunlight shined through Ino's window and slowly heated her face. The blond hair girl covered her face with her pillow. She tried to return to sleep but a loud knock hammered at her door. She sighed and got out of bed and opened it. "For god sakes Dad I'll be done in a minute" she shouted. When no answer came she looked up from the ground and there stood Shikamaru with his bag and everything. He stared at Ino in her PJ's but asked no questions. Ino stared back blankly at him for a while until she released she didn't changed yet. Her face flushed up in red, then she let off a high pitch scream and she slammed the door on him. Shikamaru just quickly took a step back and avoided a world of hurt. As she began to change her clothes she yelled through her door. "Don't scare me like that Shikamaru! How you get in here anyways?"
"Your parents gave me a spare key remember? Anyways they're out on a mission or something and we need to go visit Tsunade today," Shikamaru said as he sat down "So troublesome." He waited for 3 hours as she changed, showered, blow-dry her hair, comb it… eventually he just gave up thinking about it and just fell asleep. Ino kneed down and poked Shikamaru's face and laughed. "Alright alright I'm done okay? You happy now sleepy head." He woke up to see her leaning on his shoulders again. He stood up but she fell over and banged her head against the ground. She rubbed it and punched Shikamaru in the face. "You had to move didn't you?" They made their way down the stairs and left the house. As Ino went to lock the door she found a note sticking out of her mailbox. It was address to her so she grabbed it and stuffed it in her pocket without looking. They headed along the main road, which lead them past the Hyuuga's house. Neji and Tenten walked out from the door in time to see Shikamaru and Ino pass by. They followed them from behind. Ino slowly moved closer to Shikamaru and then suddenly hug his arm. Tenten saw this and slowly move closer to Neji. Neji stared down as they walked and raised one of his eyebrow. "What are you doing?" he questioned her. She gave him no respond but she backed away from him.
They continued to walk towards the bottom of the cliff where they saw Tsunade's new office. Naruto and Hinata greeted them at the enterance. "HEY SHIKAMARU, INO, TENTEN, NEJI OVER HERE" Naruto shouted. Ino quickly whirled around and saw Tenten and Neji. She looked at Shikamaru with a clueless face. "umm when did they get behind us" Ino questioned. Shikamaru sighed "if you weren't so busy holding my arm you would have noticed they came out of the Hyuuga's house when we walked past." "you don't have to be so detailed Shika … and here I thought you were completely lazy" she laughed. "You two were holding hands on your way here?" Hinata face blushed as she question Ino and Shikamaru. Naruto dragged Neji into the office. "For godsakes Naruto what is wrong with you" Neji shouted at Naruto. When both of them were gone Hinata walked up to the group.
"Naruto is really happy you know, Tsunade had them open a ramen store inside of there" Hinata smiled. "But why did he have to drag Neji, shouldn't you have gone with him Hinata" Tenten questioned. "Well… umm … it's kind of embarrassing but….um.. Naruto-kun…um couldn't pay for the ramen and I don't really… have a lot on me right now" Hinata stuttered out. "Why are you so shy about that? It's not like we didn't know Naruto eats too much" Ino giggled. "god… everyone just has a question for everything, so troublesome" Shikamaru thought. Moments later they heard a clash of sounds ringing inside the building. Naruto flew out the door and Neji walked out with his hand in his pocket. He stared at the ground as he walked. Tenten walked up and grabbed Neji by the shoulders and raised his face with her gentle hands. She fell back with shocked. Everyone else stared at Neji's face for a moment and then fell to they floor laughing. Hinata tried to hide it by covering her mouth with her hands but eventually gave in too. Neji's face went red and let of a loud yell. After a while Tenten finally calm down a little. She smiled and poked Neji in the forehead. she laughed " why.. why.. are you crying Neji," right after she just back and burst into laughter. Neji looked at her and wipe the tears from his eyes. "He.. he… he… used.. used.. HE USED IT ALL" he screamed. He took his hand out of his pocket and showed the emptiness. A moth flew out of one his pocket. The group stared and wondered how it got there. "Don't worry Neji" Ino patted Neji on the back "it's not like you can't get it back from him." She used her thumb and point at the orange shirt boy with his head stuck inside a log. Neji stared down again "it's not like that.. that was 4 months worth of money I collected throughout the missions. It was suppose to be for Tenten's present money and for this totally new cell phone." "A present? For me? Oh Neji…." Tenten smiled with glee. "A… a .. cell-phone?" Ino's mouth dropped. "What? It's a very nice phone it's got voice mail, a camera, comes in across village communication…" Neji went on describing. Ino pictured Neji with a pair of geeky glasses on and explaining stuff like a nerd. "Oh my, Neji I never you were like this" Ino laughed "you better hope Tenten doesn't find out about this." "Okay okay, god you people are so troublesome, let's just go in and meet up with Tsunade already." Hinata pulled Naruto's head out of the log and took him back inside the building. "Hey Tenten, you can stop dreaming of what Neji will get you already" Ino said as she slapped Tenten gently in the face. Tenten rubbed her cheek and went to grab Neji's arm like Ino did with Shikamaru. The four walked inside the building finally.
