Author's Note: Sorry if Chouji, and some other character's seem OoC ;;. Please don't hate me for it. Sorry for the mistakes in the other chapter…I wrote it at 3 AM…All right, no one asked for it, but here it is…Chapter #2…Enjoy.

"All right…but before it's a done deal, I need you to do something for me," Tali said lifting her head back up.

"And what would that be?" Chouji asked, his face still red from the moment she asked him. Though he didn't sound excited, in reality he was. He hadn't been this happy since he had first met Shikamaru, but Shikamaru was dead. Chouji put the thought away for now.

"I don't know where everything is, so could you ask Kakashi for a pass to let us go look around the school?"

Chouji nodded a yes, and stood up quietly, and walked over to Kakashi, "Kakashi-sama…can I have a pass to show Tali around the school?"

Without answering Kakashi pulled out a pass, and signed it, "Stay out of trouble," Kakashi added while going back to his book.

Tali walked out the door waiting for Chouji to follow her. "So first, where is the cafeteria?"
Taking her downstairs, and going down a couple of hallways he lead her to the large cafeteria. The smell of food hung in the air, making Chouji's stomach growl. Pulling out his chips he began to eat those, seizing the opportunity to eat without being berated by his fellow classmates. He held the bag out to Tali, offering her a chip.

Tali took the chip with a giggle, "Thanks Chou," she wrapped her arms around him, and gave him a hug, "your just like a teddy-bear, you know that Chou?"

Chouji blushed. A girl hadn't been this close to him before, and he returned the hug. "S-so where do you need me to show you next?"

Now it so happened that Ino was skipping class again, and that's when she saw the two hugging. She didn't know why it bothered her so much, but all she knew was that someone was with her fatass…Her face turned red as she took a sharp turn the other way. "Why am I so annoyed by seeing them together?" she asked herself quietly, and tried to shake the feeling off, but for some strange reason she couldn't. She frowned…she had always been the jealous type…

"Well," Tali said letting go of Chouji, "Where's the library Chou?"

Chouji liked this…he liked this a lot. The positive attention, mind you, as he hadn't had it from somebody in awhile, and again his thoughts lead to the death of Shikamaru. 'Why do I keep thinking of that? He's gone…and crying wont bring someone back Chouji', Chouji thought to himself before answering, "It's this way," a small frown forming on his face.

"Something bothering you Chou-kun?" Tali asked, though she already knew something was.

"Oh…No I'm alright. Well the library is over here," taking Tali's hand and walking the opposite direction of Ino. The library was small, and the books were old. On top of that it smelled like something had died there. Oh, and did I mention the computers where as old as the librarians?

"Not a very good one is it?" Tali asked quietly, holding here nose.

"Yeah, people rarely come in here, and if they do it's to escape a teacher," Chouji answered her with a shrug.

"Okay, and where's the Gym?" she asked leaving the smelly library.

"The opposite way," Chouji answered following her. He sighed, the gym, one of his least favorite places in the world. Not only would the students berate him, but so would the teachers, and of course Chouji was too nice to get any of them in trouble.

"Well, Chou…I really don't feel like going back, and doing that worksheet…so let's just act like we're still looking," Tali said with a grin, and wrapping her arms around Chouji's soft chest.

Chouji's face went red again as he answered, "S-so where to?"

"Does it matter?" Tali asked resting her head on the Akimichi's large shoulder.

"W-well, we could always just go look around at where your classes are," Chouji answered.

"Well, problem is I left my schedule in class, so let's just walk around for a bit," Tali answered letting go of him finally. Taking Chouji's hand, she awaited him to lead her around the school.

Chouji and Tali spent the rest of day looking around the school…the teachers didn't mind though. The two had a pass, and Tali was a new student, so they paid no attention to the two.

"This ladder leads to the roof," Chouji said pointing to it with his free hand.

"Wanna go up?" Tali asked with a grin.

Chouji answered, "If you want to."

Tali let go of his hand and began to climb up the ladder, and opened the hatch to the outside. Today was a cool day, the smell of rain in the air. The clouds looked normal, aside from the tinge of purple. Chouji looked around making sure a teacher wouldn't see them, and followed her. Sitting by each other they continued to talk about what they liked, and other things.

"So Chou…why're you so down?" she asked curiously. Suddenly Chouji's smile disappeared.

"I don't really want to talk about it…" Chouji answered quietly.

"Why not Chou?" Tali asked wrapping her arms around him, her eyes fixed upon him. After not getting a reply, and feeling Chouji tremble a little, she knew she had hit a soft spot. She regretted the decision to bring it up greatly. "Never mind, you don't have to tell me," she decided resting her head on his body.

Chouji thanked her and wrapped one of his arms around her. He looked at her, and she stared back to him. Then without warning both of them leaned in for a kiss. Initially it was a small one…until Tali's tongue asked for entrance, and Chouji gladly accepted. Finally after their tongues brushed against each other for about a minute, then they parted. Chouji of course was tinged red again, and Tali giggled at him.

"W-we…" Chouji never finished, and just kept stuttering.

Tali giggle again, wrapping her arms around him again, "We should just go to class, and get our stuff since the day's almost over? Is that what you wanted to say?"

Chouji managed to answer, "Y-yeah…"

Now, Ino had been following them this whole time, so of course she had seen them kiss. Oh, and how it made her furious, to see Tali and him together… "He's mine…" Ino said to herself, clenching her fists. She would deal with Tali later…but first she needed to get Chouji away from her…

Chouji walked hand-in-hand back to English class, as the bell rang signaling the end of the day. As they walked into class Kakashi looked up from his book and said, "Oh, good you're back. I was about to take your stuff to the office," he said quickly, going back to his book. The two grabbed their things and walked back out of the class, holding hands of course.

"Do you just want to come to my house until the dance begins?" Chouji asked a little nervous.

"Yeah, let meh just call my parents and tell them…your dad'll be there right?"

Chouji nodded as she pulled out a cell phone. The call was short, a simple hello, a simple question, and a simple good-bye.

"He said yes!" Tali said glomping Chouji.

Chouji, almost falling over, said, "Great. Well c'mon, before we miss the bus…unless you feel like walking in the rain."

"Walking in the rain doesn't sound so bad," she said with a giggle, "But let's take the bus."

Chouji nodded in agreement, and walked past the crowded hallways, and found himself on the bus sitting by his new…well technically he wasn't her boyfriend yet. Tali rested her head on his shoulder, and closed her eyes. Chouji took his hand and moved some of her hair out of her face, she smiled back in return. Chouji smiled and looked out the window, it was raining…hard. Finally the bus reached his house, and he got off the bus, doing his best to cover Tali from the rain. It wasn't very big, but it wasn't small either.

Walking in a little wet Chouji said, "Hey Dad. This is Tali. Tali this is my dad, Chouza."

"Hello Chouza," Tali answered with a wave.

"Well it's good to meet you Tali," his father answered with a smile, "So, are you guys hungry? I can make something if you like."

Tali answered with a smile, "I'm fine, thank you."

Chouza turned his gaze to Chouji, "And what about you?"

"No thanks dad, I filled up on the chips I had," he answered rubbing the back of his head.

At first it was a shock to his father, but he said, "Alright just tell me when you are ready, or if you change your minds about the food."

Both nodded in reply and decided to go to Chouji's room. The room was like the house…not to big, and not to small. There was a dark colored couch in front of the television that could also be used as a bed. The walls were plain white; though Chouji had always wanted to do something with them…he'd just keep forgetting. Both planted themselves on the couch, Tali using Chouji's stomach as a pillow, laid down, while Chouji sat up. At first, Chouji was skeptical about this girl, but at this point he began to really like her, and was glad he would be taking her to the dance.
