TenTen had another drink. That was her 8th one, and she was starting to see spots. She didn't care much. All the better when in bed, she always thought.

Ino ran into the empty bar, panting and having a physical and emotional breakdown. Then she saw TenTen. "Darts, TenTen?" she asked, exhausted.

…………………………

Choji had another set of ribs. This was his 9th set, and the chef was mad at him, but he didn't care. The fatter, the better, he always thought.

Shikamaru, wheezing and tired, ran into the restaurant. Then he saw Choji. "Choji, do you want to go cloud watching?" he asked, out of breath.

………………………….

"I don't believe it, TenTen, how did you get a bull's-eye? You look more drunk than Jariya!"

"I have perfect aim when sober, I should have perfect aim when I'm drunk," TenTen said, straining to stay on her feet. "Aim is good for more than just darts you know. You wanted to talk to me about something, Ino?"

……………………………

"Yeah, Choji, I did want to talk. You remember the party, right?" Shikamaru asked.

"Duh! Free food!" Choji yelled.

"I went upstairs with Ino, and I…"

……………………………

"…Think I had sex with Shikamaru by accident."

"How does that happen on accident?" TenTen wondered.

"I was drunk, but I can't remember what actually happened. Plus, I was naked," Ino explained.

……………………………

"What do I do?" Shikamaru asked Choji.

"Why Are you asking me? It's not like I had sex with Ino. What's the big deal, anyways? Ino's hot! She's perfect for you! Have you seen her gynourmous boobs?"

"Choji, be serious," Shikamaru pleaded.

……………………………

"I am, Ino," TenTen stammered as she threw another bull's-eye. "He's the right guy, you know? He actually treats you like you exists, unlike emo, gay Sasuke."

"But Shikamaru might be out there, wondering where I am, when I don't think our relationship, if there is one, should be taken to that level so fast! TenTen, what do I do?"

"Do it again," TenTen said simply.

……………………………

"Again? Are you nuts, Choji? Do you know how it feels to have that burden on my shoulders? For all I know, Ino could be pregnant or something, and it's all my fault!"

"I don't see how it's all that different from my love of food, Shikamaru. You love Ino, right?"

……………………………

"Yeah, but I…"

"No excuses, Ino, you've had that sort of invisible bond to Shikamaru the day you two met. Even you've been telling yourself you like Sasuke, it's not true!"

"I know I love him, but this is going too fast!" Ino cried.

"HOW DO YOU KNOW?!" TenTen yelled.

……………………………

"Because it's my problem, Choji, not yours!" Shikamaru raged.

"Fine, you can handle this yourself then," Choji finished. He left.

"There goes my emotional support," Shikamaru sighed.

……………………………

TenTen left for another table and ordered another drink.

"There goes my emotional support," Ino sighed.

Thoughts were racing through her head. She remembered TenTen's 'advice'.

Do it again.

Maybe She should talk to Shikamaru about this… Nah.

……………………………

Shikamaru remembered Choji's words.

Do it again.

Maybe he should talk to Ino… Nah.

Shikamaru started to walk. Nowhere in particular; he was just walking.

……………………………

Ino left the bar, looking back at the dartboard with six bull's-eyes in it. She walked away, but nowhere in particular. She just walked on ahead.

She ended up at the Hokage Rock Faces. She stared up at the great ninjas. When she looked back behind her, she was shocked.

Shikamaru was stopped and stared up at the Hokage Rock Faces.

When he looked down, he saw Ino and went into a state of bewilderment. Utter Shock.

There she was.

There he was.

If you don't mind, please review. It feels wierd to write a story and nobody reviews, you know. I might stop writing if you don't!
