A/N: Well, here we go. Last week was having a glitch that didn't allow me to add and this week my internet is being a real pain in the you-know-where.

When Shinjin got up the next morning, she checked her cell phone to see if it was really the right time for the group to meet. When she was satisfied, she stepped out of her room…

Only to be pulled into Hinata's room, where Ino, Sakura, Tenten, and Hinata were.

"We're going to keep him waiting this morning," said Ino, evil grin on her face. "And we texted Shino; he knows to wait an hour."

Hinata looked worried. "B-but maybe…maybe we shouldn't be doing this."

"Oh, stop worrying," Tenten said. "It's all in good fun. Besides, he had it coming!" Sakura and Shinjin nodded.

"So, how long are we gonna keep 'im waiting?" inquired Shinjin.

"Only an hour," Sakura replied. "Just like he did with us."

ONE HOUR LATER

"Well, I guess we should go now," Tenten said. The girls opened the door and immediately started laughing when they saw Rob had been waiting for them the entire time.

"Oh, so this is my punishment?" he asked. "We're already behind, so Hinata, Shino, off to breakfast you go. But really. Not funny." Though he said it wasn't funny, he was laughing along with them.

Shino and Hinata left, Hinata waving to her friends as they hurried to a car. They both sat down at the booth in the restaurant.

"Are you having a good time here?" Shino asked.

"Yeah," Hinata replied. "I really…enjoyed getting out and getting to know everyone but. A-and I think Shinjin is a good friend too…"

Shino flinched. That was the second time one of the girls brought up Shinjin. Were they all trying to tell him something? He finally decided not to worry about it. Maybe they just liked to talk about their friends a lot.

"Believe it or not, I've actually liked being here," said Shino.

"H-huh? How come?" she asked.

"It's just been fun," he said quickly.

"I'm sorry," she said.

"Sorry? For what?"

"I…I shouldn't have…asked. It's none of my business," she whispered.

He shook his head. "No. You had every right to ask. You need to stop worrying about what everyone else thinks and think about yourself. You're worth it."

Hinata instantly blushed and looked away. In all the time she had known Shino, he had never been the kind to say anything like that. But she felt good. He had said she was worth speaking her mind and not worrying what others though. Her childhood crush Naruto never said anything like that to her.

What? Why did she compare Naruto and Shino? She shook her head to get the thoughts out. It wasn't like she even felt that way about Shino. Or did she? Hinata really didn't want to think about that.

WITH THE OTHER GIRLS

"I've got but one thing to say," said Shinjin.

"And that one thing is?" Ino asked.

"I'm going to be content with whatever happens here," she said. "I've been a no-fun, worrier this ENTIRE time and now that I've made friends, I'm a lot happier than before. And besides, I'm young. There are plenty of people out there for me. Shino isn't the only one."

Upon hearing this, the girls let out a sigh of relief on the inside. They thought she would always be as annoying as at first. She was finally starting to understand that not every romantic attraction she felt was going to be true love.

In a sense, their little Shinjin was growing up.

LATER

The group was all together again, ready for the last date of round two.

"Alrighty," Rob said, "you have less time to think about it today, seeing as we only have a group dinner. Try and think about it during your date with Sakura. And don't forget to have a good time."

And they left together.

His second date with Sakura. Shino had to admit that she was really nice and he still didn't want to send her away. In fact, there was someone else he felt that he wouldn't ever be happy with and she didn't seem to want him either. Soon, she would be gone.

Shino and Sakura were-of course- going to a movie after they ate. This was Sakura's first movie on the trip, but it was Shino's third and he had to admit it was getting old.

Still, he couldn't complain and he went to lunch with Sakura, conversed slightly, and went to the movie. This one was by the same person as the one Shino watched before and it had a more complicated plot. Abby isn't the play type but when Brock comes from his all boys school to her all girls school to help them perform a fantasy pay he wrote, she auditions to show everyone what she's made of. She inevitably falls for Brock, though she constantly claimed she didn't need him, and then something happens. She finds out that the play, which is about a girl who needs to save the world, is real and Brock was looking for that girl. In the end she saves everyone and can be happy with Brock.

Sakura thought it was a really sweet movie that Tenten would have liked. Tenten would have loved the fact that the girl was the hero that had to defend the boy. She made a note that Hikari Midorikawa films were worth watching.

That was really the extent of what happened on her date, which seemed fairly boring for a TV show, but she was getting to do all of this without paying, so who was she to complain?

The group separated to do their own thing before the group dinner where Shino would make his announcement. Yet again he knew exactly who was going but he knew that next time would be a lot harder for him.

They were all gathered around a table, Temari included, as they waited for Shino to say who was gone and end round two.

"Alright," Rob said, "it's time for you to tell us who you're not keeping."

"Ino," said Shino simply and that was that. This now ended episode five and round two.

A/N: Sorry it ended so abruptly. I'm really getting bored with this and would rather move on to my next chapter fic but I made a commitment. Okay, so this was late because of my internet. I had written it on another computer and emailed it to my computer and my internet wouldn't let me save the file. I finally figured out how to. However, we will not have a chapter this week. I was too busy worrying about getting this one up to worry about writing another.
