A/N: Hi there! waves

Here's my next chapter and I hope you'll enjoy it (and hopefully review – you know reviews make me update faster hint hint)

Chapter two

In the next morning when Ino woke up she felt much better though she was still mud-covered since they didn't bother to clean her before they put her to sleep. Rubbing her eyes the blonde noticed that noticed that Shikamaru was sleeping in the chair instead of his bed above to her and he was mud-covered as well. Silently she went into the bath and took a shower. When she came back she saw Shikamaru was up as well. She wanted to thank him but he was to busy with other things though he muttered a morning so Ino decided to thank him later. Then her eye fell on her and she thought that she should better get clean blankets if she wanted to sleep there again. She wrapped them just when Shikamaru left the room most likely to get himself cleaned.

Ino heard a knock at the door and went to open it. When she had the door half-open a certain pink-haired girl flung her arms around her neck screaming how happy and relieved she was that Ino wasn't dead. At first Ino was dumbfounded, surprised that Sakura was actually worried about her but then she realized that she herself would react the same way if something like this would happen to Sakura. Mentioned one let go of Ino and smiled saying "Never frighten us like that again or you'll be in serious trouble." Ino smiled back nodding. Then Sakura told her that they would meet at nine a.m. at the old oak (A/N: Man, they're always meeting there - what's up with me? lol) so Ino had five minutes left to prepare herself. Sakura waited for her and then they went there together starting to be the friends they were years before.

Thirty minutes later they were all there impatiently waiting what would come next. "Alright everyone!" Gai shouted over the heads of the other shinobi. "We have great news: Since we are all so happy that our youthful Ino was found to go to the attraction PARK ALL together! Okay follow me!" With that he started running and so did Lee but the rest of them including the other jounins didn't even move. Then Kakashi started speaking. "Those who do not plan to run like mad ones can go there by bus."

They arrived at the attraction park fifty minutes later and – with the silver-haired jounin as the driver – alive. Finally there Kiba didn't bother to wait any further explanations and just head off for the first roller coaster. And he didn't miss much because the explanations were all in all not to destroy and not to leave the park. They would meet at the bus again as Anko already told the students in the bus. During the explanations Shino sneaked silently to an attraction called 'Bug world' and at the same time Shino decided to leave Naruto too couldn't wait any longer. "Man what are you talking why can't we just go and have fun!" the foxboy shouted annoyed. The copy-ninja sighed as if he had expected Naruto to do this and made a gesture for them to leave then. Naruto punched in the air and stormed off dragging Hinata with him. (A/N: Poor Hinata being dragged all the time… eg) Naruto ran full speed when a sign caught his attention. It said: NOODLE-SOUP-EATING-CONTEST! The winner gets enough ramen for a whole year! With a speed even an ANBU would be proud of the blonde was ready for the contest.

During the contest Hinata was behind Naruto cheering on him while he ate one bowl of ramen after the other. Seeing this the people around started whispering and the white-eyed girl could catch sentences like "He can't be human" and "No one can eat that much". She giggled silently knowing that Naruto would surely win the eating-contest. He was even better than a huge guy next to him. Compared to him the foxboy was only a little fly so the audience was shocked to see the kid eating the 56th bowl and winning with that the contest. After that Naruto wasn't able to move anymore otherwise he would simply puke. So Hinata got him some medicine. Nevertheless they spent the rest of the day in the meadow talking or sometimes just taking a nap.

With Ino and Shikamaru

"Hey Shikamaru! C'mon let us try the Ferris wheel!" Ino suggested happily. He looked at the wheel and nodded slowly. They went there and Ino jumped into a cobalt blue cabin with Shikamaru behind her. The man starting the Ferris wheel smirked seeing the two of them for they really looked like a couple. Their cabin slowly went up stopping when it reached the highest point. And it didn't start moving again. After twenty minutes Ino became impatient. "Hey Shikamaru why aren't we moving?" He looked down to the people on the ground then to the iron bar where the cabin was fastened and said "It looks like they have technical problems and we're stuck here." Ino mouth dropped. "And what are we going to do now? Just waiting is so boring!" Shikamaru sighed, "Ino we are ninjas we can easily climb down or we can do cloud-watching at the top of the cabin." The blonde girl thought for a moment but then said smiling "I would prefer cloud watching." Shikamaru smiled back and so they both climbed at the top of the cabin with only the fluffy white clouds above them.

At the ground the park-manager was screaming at top of his lungs. "Hurry! The kids climbed out of the cabin, they must be scared to death!" employees running up and down shouting and screaming like mad. Tenten looked up and saw two forms sitting on the highest cabin of the Ferris wheel. "Neji, can you see who's up there?" She asked pointing up to the wheel. Neji activated his Byakugans and looked up, too. "It's only Ino and Shikamaru. They seem to enjoy the view." With that they turned away when Tenten saw a horror-house. "Hey Neji, why don't we go there?" The Hyuuga prodigy raised an eyebrow but then headed there with her. The entrance was a giant white skull with yellowish teeth. "Well, well a hunchbacked old man said. "Are you prepared for the scariest experience of your lives?" The Hyuuga raised his other eyebrow while Tenten simply ignored the comment – and the man. They went into a dark tunnel with spider webs all over the ground and fake-spiders hanging from the ceiling. Suddenly something white appeared in front of the two. Tenten shrieked immediately clutching Neji's arm before she noticed it was just a fake-skeleton. Again Neji raised his eyebrow in question so that Tenten loosened her grip but tightened it again when the ground broke away and they fell through a trap door. They went down a long slide with green, glibbery slime on it. Tenten shrieked and laughed at the same time. Suddenly there was nothing but darkness around them and they continued falling.

Since Tenten was clutching him anyway Neji decided that he could carry her as well. He took her (bridal style) and with his Byakugans he could see that there was water beneath them so he collected chakra on the soles of his feet and landed easily. Then he walked over to the shore. Putting Tenten down he heard her giggle. She was definitely enjoying the 'horror' trip. After a few rooms - the next one with many flames everywhere – the trip was over though they went in a second time. The man at the entrance was surprised that they actually came out dry. (Ninjas usually didn't visit their park.)

At the highest point of the Ferris wheel Ino and Shikamaru were still cloud watching lying on their backs. Ino turned to look at Shikamaru who noticing her gaze looked at her as well asking "What?" Ino looked at the clouds again but then turned back to Shikamaru with a small smile forming on her lips. Her sky-blue eyes directly looking into his dark ones. "Shikamaru" she said sitting up while Shikamaru also moved into a sitting position. "I know that you rescued me when I've been lost but I didn't had the chance to thank you till now." He shrugged. "You don't have to thank me, it was nothing…" Ino shook her head, which made her long, silky hair fly in the wind. "Without you I would have died there. Thank you, Shikamaru." With that she kissed him on the cheek on which he blushed a little. Ino giggled which made Shikamaru blush only more. He muttered a 'troublesome' and laid back. As Ino laid back too they grew silent again just enjoying each others company.

Ino never thought that cloud-watching was actually fun. The blonde pointed towards the sky "Hey Shikamaru! This cloud looks like a deer!" He nodded smiling and pointed to another cloud "If you look at it this way" he turned his head slightly "it looks like a boar." She nodded excited already searching for the next cloud when they both pointed at the same cloud saying at the same time "This looks like a butterfly!" Ino and Shikamaru stared at each other dumbfounded and blushing a little but soon they started laughing.
