The woke that morning feeling enegized but a little down. The trip had taken its toll on emotions of many in the groups.

"we need more food." Chouji said tip all th eempty bags over.

"well reach city at high noon." Shikamaru said looking into the clouds.

"shino what does she look like?" ino asked stepping from her tent to sit and join the boys at breakfast.

Shino looked to her, she had taken an intrest in his love life highly sence she found out about it that night at the party. She was like a friend telling you to go for it and ask yor big crush out. He found it odd.

"hair is a black,blue tinted in the sun. her eyes, they are like the ocean they go on forever." His smile was hidden by the high collar.

Ino was sitting chin rested on her hands. "wow, that's so romantic." Shika turned to look at ino surprised at her comment.

"a hinata can you get some water," chouji asked handing her a few containers.

Kiba walked over grabbing two containers from her. " ill help you."

Hinata blushed. "o-ok kiba-kun. She looked around a little than pointed into the forest. " this way." Then the walked toward the direction.

" keep going" ino insisted to shino.

"a…."

"tell me more." She leaned forward ready to drink in the words she found so romantic for any boy to say.

"ino maybe you should leave him alone now." Shika said pulling her to standing postion and away from shino.

" no.its romantic for someone too say and I want to hear him talk about her. I wish someone would talk about me that way." She folded her hands toagther and looke dup like she was praying.

"its too troublesome to talk about girls like that." He shook his head.

"well maybe if you did you wouldn't be alone like you are." She pulled away from him.

"she has a point. " chouji added still pilling his mouth with chips.

" shino please talk more." She turned to face him.

"maybe another time." His scratched his head and walked to his tent to pack and get ready to move out soon.

" what do you mean alone?" shika protested turning ino back to face himself. " im not alone."

"yes you are." She looked away. " you don't even try to watch the girls. You don't even care."

"why does the guy always have to watch why cant the girl watch?" he threw his hands in the air he turned around walking to help pick up the tent . "what girl would be watching me anyway?" he mumbled.

"I know one" she looked down . he turned around quickly, did she like him he thought. Has she been waitin gfor me under the cover of a love for sasuke?

"what do …" she walked away to clean her and hinata's stuff.

Chouji shook his head. As kiba and hinata returned and passed back the water to its owners.

"you were gone quite some time for water?" shino said.

Kiba blushed a little as well as hinata did.

"we should move out soon, if we are to make it." Chouji said standing up.

Much of the group was quiet till they got to the capital city, in thunder country.

"look at all the colors." Hinata said gazing around at the flower stands. She smelled a few. " mmm.."

"we can split up and meet there tonight to say what weve learned today." He pointed to a hoptel. " ill get rooms now.

" look at the food-," chouji walked down a street. " later." He said as he began to order food.

"don't forget to look for any hits ,ok?" shino then began toward the hotel.

"clothes! " ino cheered walking toward the opposite road of the others.

"need a bag boy?" shika scratched his head.ino turned around smiling.

"bag boys cant complain at all. I don't think you can do it." She giggled.

"where too." He asked. Ino then dragged his down the street into a clothing shop.

"want those?" kiba asked he was watching hinata smell the same flower over and over again.

"a… its….im fine." She smiled looking to him.

"then lets scout if you have no other plans today." He moved closer to her.

"can we go to the park. It seems they are setting up for a festival."

kiba looked around "shure." Placing her hand in his she pulled him gently toward the park.
