"Ahhhhhh! I'm full!" Naruto leaned back on his chair with a happy grin on his face and an extremely satisfied expression.
"Of course you are, Naruto... you ate 10 ramens..."
"Hun?" Naruto opened his eyes and stared at Neji. "10? I thought I had 5 more! Hey! Old man! I want more 5 ramens please!"
Neji sweatdropped. Lee checked his watch.
"Hey guys, shouldn't we be checking on the girls?"
"Dude, relax! I don't think they'll get away." Kiba said while picking his theeth with his nails.
"I wouldn't bet on that, Kiba." Shikamaru said while supporting his head on his hand that, by turn, was on the counter. "Ino already abbondoned us a few times..."
Chouji nooded vigurously, agreeing with his teammate.
"Shyeah." Naruto started talking with his mouth full. "I meansh, shish uane shime, Shakura shishtched shme... shyea!" They all looked at Naruto that seemed extremely offended.
"Look, dobe, no one cares that Sakura ditched you. As a matter of fact, it was something to be expected! Now finish up the damn ramens and lets go get them!" Sasuke told while droping some coins on the counter and getting up.
Naruto lifted his middle finger in a 'friendly salute' to his teammate, but did as told and finished up his ramens... in one bite!
When everybody finished their meals, they left in search of the four girls.
The four kunoichis entered into what seemed to be a fancy restaurant but, judging by the menu outside, it wasn't pricy, wich was a good thing!
The place was almost empty, it only had two young couples and an old man by the window. That was probabily because luch time was almost over.
The waiter greated them and led them to a four sit table. They sat down and started reading the menus.
"Wow! All this sounds so good!" Sakura said.
"Yeah!" Tenten agreed. "French cuisine always sounds and looks so tasty! Listen to this: Veau aux champignon!"
"That sounds nice!" Ino agreed. "Look here! Dindon aux truffes! This looks great!" She shared some of Tenten's enthusiasm.
"It sure sounds nice..." Hinata agreed.
"Much better then Ramen, right?" Sakura winked at the pale eyed girl, who smiled in response.
Just then, the waiter aproached them.
"May I take your order, ladies?"
The girls looked up and smiled. The waiter was very handsome. Ino smirked and whispered to Tenten.
"He can take my order, my arm, my leg, my everything if he wants!"
Tenten laughed and agreed with her friend.
The girls ordered their food and talked while it didn't arrived. Sudenly, the door of the restaurant opened and four boys came in. The girls stoped talking and stared.
"Oh, cute!" Tenten said while checking one of the guys. He had brown hair, short in the back but with some long bangs falling on his face. His eyes were light blue. He was wearing blue jeans and white t-shirt.
"Hmm, hmm..." Ino agreed with Tenten and checked out another of the four boys. This one had blonde spiked hair and brown eyes. His outfit consisted of black shorts and a black shirt.
"Maybe we shouldn't be staring..." Said a blushing Hinata while she stole some glances in the boys direction. The one guy she was cheking out had long blue hair, hanging loose around his shoulders, and green eyes. His jeans were black and he had a red, sleeveless t-shirt.
"Oh come on Hinata, it's not like they'll mind..." Sakura looked at a guy with long black hair tied in the back. His eyes were also black, or at least very dark. He had a green shirt over some army camuflage loose jeans.
The boys saw the girls and smiled at them.
"Are those the girls?" The blue haired guy asked his friends.
"Yes they are. Let's go." The blonde one answered.
The girls saw them smile and blushed.
"Oh! They're coming over!" Sakura squeeled. "Act normal girls!"
Ino grabed her glass of water and took small sips at a time. Hinata stared at her plate and played with her fingers, Tenten started sharpening a kunai and Sakura was playing with her hair.
"Excuse me girls," The guy with the brown hair asked, "Me and the guys were just wondering... are you, by any chance, alone?"
The girls nooded. The guys smirked.
"Would you mind if we joined you?"
"Not at all!" Ino was the first one to answer. The rest of the girls nooded.
----
"Man! Where the hell are they?" Naruto asked to no one. "Shikamaru! Where are they?"
Shikamaru stoped sudenly and stared at Naruto. "How the hell should I know?"
Naruto stoped. "Well duh! You're the genius!"
Shikamaru sighed. "I don't know! But... well, they're probably at a fancy restaurant! I mean, they're girls..."
All the guys agreed to that.
"There's a fancy restaurant!" Lee pointed.
Sasuke snorted. "Yeah, like they'll be right in the first restaurant we spot, that is surprisingly close to the Ramen stand we were in!"
"There they are!" Kiba shouted while looking trough the window's glass.
Sasuke sweatdroped. "It figures..."
"Hey! Why the hell are four guys sitting with them?" shouted Kiba.
All the guys ran to the window and stared inside. Kiba laughed.
"Ah, ah! Cought you guys! There's no one there with them!"
Naruto stared at Kiba. "Duh! Yes there are! Four guys, just like you said..."
Kiba's eyes eyedened. "Whaaaaaat?" He stared again. "Damn!" Akamaru shook his head.
"I'm going in." Sasuke stated and opened the door to the restaurant, letting himself in. Neji followed put.
"Erm..." All the guys looked at each other.
"Sigh... Guess I'll go to." Shikamaru entered after Sasuke and Neji.
"Wait for me!" Naruto yelled and ran after them.
"Er... should we go?" Kiba asked.
Shino sat by a bench. "Nah. Don't worry. I bet they'll be kicked out in two minutes..."
Lee stared at Shino in disbelif. "By the guys?"
Shino snorted. "Of course not. By the girls!"
"Oh..." The guys sat and waited patiently.
----
"Oh Akira! That's so funny!" Ino and the girls laughed. Akira slid his hand trough his blonde hair and smirked.
Then the restaurant door opened up and Sasuke, Neji, Shikamaru and Naruto came in. The girls stopped talking sudenly and the guys that were with them eyed the four leaf ninjas suspiciously.
"What are you guys doing here?" Asked Tenten, a bit annoyed.
The four shinobis looked at each other. Why were they there anyway...?
"We're here to get you. We've got stuff to do remember? We're not here on vaction!" Shikamaru said, trying hard not to glare at the guy next to Ino.
Ino, on the other hand stared right at him. "Well, we're still eating!"
"No you're not." Naruto said while staring at empty dessert plates. "You're just flirting with these poor folks here. Can't you see the look on their faces? It reads 'Stop with the yacking woman!' all over!"
"Naruto..." Sakura's voice was low and threatening. Even Sasuke gulped. Tenten cracked her knuckles, Ino clenched her fist and Hinata, well... she actualy blushed!
"Oh you are so gonna get it!" All the guys gulped while being stared down by the girls.
"Help...?" Whimpered Naruto helplessly.
----
Outside
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Naruto came flying from inside the restaurant and landed on his nose. Shikamaru came running with is hands on his head and screaming for Ino to stop beating him. Neji and Sasuke came out unharmed but they were a bit paler than usual.
"What happened?" Kiba asked.
Neji sat down on the bench, very stiff. "They're still eating."
"Oh damn! How long they'll be?" Kiba wasn't one to wait.
"They're still eating! Didn't you hear?" Sasuke stated, a bit histericaly, while seating next to Neji.
Chouji sighed and stuffed some cookies that he had bought at some store on the way to restaurant, down is throat. "Aw man!"
Kiba looked inside the restaurant trough the glass windows.
"Dude! They don't have anything on their plates! They're just talking!"
"They're still eating!" Sasuke's voice came out a little higher than usual.
"But guys!" Kiba insisted. "They don't have anything on their plates, that means that they're done!"
Naruto raised his bloody head form the floor.
"Look you dog freak! They're eating!" Then he let his head bump back into the hard ground. "Ouch..."
Kiba sat down on the bench and crossed is arms. "I don't know why you guys are so afraid of those girls..."
Akamaru barked in agreement and sat near Kiba's feet.
"Nah, you're just lucky you have Hinata in your team! Cause if you had Ino... oh man..." Chouji shuddered. "You'd be a dead man walking!"
Shikamaru nodded slightly.
"Ino? Ah! That's nothing! You should see Sakura when she's pissed off..."
Naruto raised his head again to agree with Sasuke. "Hear what the man says... he's right!"
Then his head fell down again. "Ouch, god damnit!"
----
After one hour the girls came out of the restaurant. They were all laughing and they all seemed to be having a great time. Even Hinata.
Each one of the girls had their arm linked with one of the guys.
"Well then, we'll see you guys tomorrow!" Sakura said. The boys nodded and said their goodbyes.
Then the girls gathered around the boys.
"Ok, guys, we're back."
"Tomorrow...?" Chouji asked while munching on another chip.
"Yes, tomorrow!" Said Ino while crossing her arms and staring at Shikamaru in defiance.
"We're on a mission here. It's not like we can waste our time." Well, it seemed like Shikamaru had taken the challenge.
"For your information, Shikamaru, we just found out that there's a bus leaving for Sand country in two days." Tenten said.
Sakura nodded and continued. "That means that we can get there faster and better yet, we won't have to walk!"
"Hey... that's not a bad idea!" Said Naruto, who was now sitting on the bench with the rest of the guys.
"Who told you that?" Sasuke asked, his tone of voice harsh, as always.
"The guys we were with..." Hinata answered shyly.
"We're not going on that bus." He said.
"What?" Ino snapped. She had grown accostumed of the idea of not having to walk trough forest and desert.
"We don't know if they can be trusted. What if is fake information?" Neji said while getting up.
"It's not!" The girls said.
"Why don't you guys trust us?" Sakura's voice had a tone of frustration in it. "It's not like we're babies! We confirmed the information with the waiter."
"We're not incompetent babies, you know?" Ino said, also frustrated.
Shikamaru got up and crossed his arms. "I still don't trust those guys. Somehow I think we shouldn't get on that bus."
"Oh, shut up, Shikamaru!" Sakura said. "You're just jealous beacuse Ino here fancied Akira boy!"
Ino blushed. "No I didn't!"
Shikamaru's expression remained stoic. "See, she didn't. Troublesome woman... all of you!"
Then he turned his back on them. Sakura giggled.
"So, come on guys, we have to find a place to stay for two days."
The guys sighed and got up. Once the girls got something onto they're heads, there was no turning back.
After a while they found a Inn on the town. It was small, but it seemed cozy. And on top of that, it was the only one they found.
They entered and were waiting in the lobby while Sakura talked to the employee at the counter.
"Whaaaat? You only have two rooms?" Sakura's voice ecoed in the empty hall.
"Yes, miss. I'm sorry but everything else is filled..." The girl behind the counter was young and seemed to be very shy.
"How can it be filled? There's nobody else here!"
"Miss, they're all out on a tour. They're tourists from Europe. Belive me miss! I'm telling the truth."
Sakura calmed down a bit.
"Exactly how many beds the rooms have...?"
The employee smiled. "Oh, they're actualy our biggest rooms! One has two couple beds and the other has one couple bed and one single."
Sakura sighed and returned to meet the rest of the gang.
"Ok guys, I have some good news and some bad news."
"Spit it out!" Ino said.
"Well... we have a place to stay here, and that's the good news. Now the bad news... There's only two rooms..." Sakura played with her hands. "One room has two couple beds and the other has one couple and one single."
"That's not such bad news." Naruto said.
"Well excuse me if I'm not too interested in sharing a room with boys!" Sakura said while blushing.
The girls nodded, agreeing with her.
"But... well, we could be in the same room..." Hinata started. "The four of us." She said mentioning to the girls.
Tenten sighed. "Yeah that would be good, but then the boys wouldn't have anywhere to sleep since the other room is smaller."
Ino nodded. "Maybe the best thing we could do is split into teams..."
"Well," Neji started. "We have nowhere else to go."
The boys nodded. "So, how about team 7 and 8 in one room, and the rest in the other?"
Everybody nodded.
"Oh, wait!" Lee said. "Who gets the bigger room?"
They looked at one another...
"Well..."
... Seconds later...
"ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS!" Lee and Naruto yelled.
"Oh damn! Not fair! Another one!" Naruto scremed.
"Naruto," Lee started. "I won! You guys get the small room! Now bye!"
Sasuke sighed. "Dobe..."
Naruto's eyes turned to flames. "Like you could've done better!"
Sasuke smirked. "Sure I could!"
Sakura sighed and left them arguing with each other. Then she turned to the lady behind the counter.
"Lady, we're staying!"
