Dear readers,

This is the THIRD chapter! Last time, Ino got mad at Shikamaru and flirted with Neji' just to be turned down. Shikamaru helped Ino because Chouji was talking "nonsense." Shikamaru would sit beside Ino for a meal.

The two teams have just arrived at a Chinese restaurant. They were lead to a table and sat down. While they waited for their food, they heard someone talking to one of the waitresses. They were at the table behind the kids.

"Extra spicy, please. By the way, can you throw in your phone number too?" The person said.

Shikamaru turned his head around to see who was making all the noise. He quickly turned his head the other way and sunk down into his seat.

"Hm? What's the matter Shikamaru?" Ino asked.

"Look over there." He whispered back.

Ino turned her head and turned it back to Shikamaru.

"Chouji." She whispered to the impatient boy beside her, who was so hungry, he slammed his head off the table repeatedly. He stopped and turned to Ino.

"What!" He snapped. Obviously he was cranky because he hadn't eaten since that morning.

"look."

Chouji turned his head.

"ASUMA!" He screamed.

Asuma turned his head. The three kids, Shikamaru, Ino and Chouji, quickly hid their faces.

Asuma walked over to the table.

"Keep it down." He said calmly, then walked back to his own seat.

(In case your confused, Asuma left his students at Gai's house because he had a special mission. He had told his students not to bother anyone and not to leave Gai's house. He wanted them to keep a low profile. Don't ask why, you'll just have to wait. Okay, so Gai let his kids go outside but Asuma's students were kept inside. They decided to sneak away. So they think Asuma is on his mission and if he knows they snuck out, he would kill them. You'll understand later.)

Asuma heard the table he had just left start to talk. He wondered why Gai's team was here, and who those three other kids were. He began to think of his students, training and being cooped up inside. He felt bad for lying to them and dumping them at Gai's.

Asuma began to hear a gulping sound and a little bit of loud chomping. It sounded so much like Chouji. He then realised that he only fed Chouji breakfast! The poor kid was probably starving to death! He ran to get his coat and tripped on a chair leg. As he grabbed the back of the chair and pulled himself up, He noticed a vest hanging over it. He recognised it! He looked over the chair to see Shikamaru get up and begin to lean back on his chair. He looked over at who was sitting beside him. It was Ino! And beside her was a busily eating boy, CHOUJI!

" Four on the floor!" Asuma told Shikamaru.

He turned around.

"Your not the boss of…." He paused.

"You three are in big trouble! And Chouji, don't eat that much, or you won't be able to control your chakra!" Asuma scolded.

A man waitress came over to Asuma and told him to be quiet and sit down at his own table. They began arguing.

Ino stared at Shikamaru. Shikamaru mumbled a plan to himself. Chouji ate and ate. A few minutes later Chouji stopped eating and whispered:

"Ino. My tummy hurts."

"Serves you right for eating so much!"

"But, I eat that much everyday as a snack."

"I don't care!"

"Ino I….."

Chouji suddenly began to expand, growing out. He made the table go flying out of the restaurant doors. His head popped in and he was turned into a boulder.

"ASUMA!" Ino screamed.

Outside the restaurant, Gaara's team walked by. Gaara looked.

"Can we join?" Asked Kankuro

"Yes." Replied Gaara.
