Noon
Tired from walking the way back, feet still aching, they took a break at a street side restaurant.
As they walked inside, they were thankful for the shade it brought from the heat outside. Kenshin found a table, and pulled the chair out for her.
"Thanks, Kenshin-kun."
As Kenshin and Hinata ordered lunch for two, they were unaware of the eyes watching them a few tables away…
"Choji, will you quit slurping your soup, I can't hear what they're saying!!!"
Choji was halfway through a particularly long noodle, when he heard her say this.
"Well, excuse me, but what the hell do you do in a restaurant?!?" said Choji.
"YOU EAT!!!" he yelled, getting him the attention of the entire restaurant.
"Get down!" Ino yelled, pulling him back down into the booth.
"If you guys were planning on spying, you should attract less attention…" said Shikamaru, perusing the menu intently.
"And what's the point of this anyway?"
Ino's eyebrows shot up at the statement.
"The point? The point is that they've been together for a month!" she replied.
"So?"
"No opposites last that long! The exciting guy gets bored of the wallflower he's dating and looks for someone else that's exciting!" she reasoned.
"I heard that opposites usually attract…" said Shikamaru, looking about for a waiter.
Ino watched Kenshin and Hinata eat, and found it too boring to watch. She went back to Choji and Shikamaru, and found Choji asking for his fourth bowl, and Shikamaru had finally ordered something.
