“Ino,” Choji started, “Why are we doing this again?”
Ino turned around and glared at Choji. “Quiet!” she hissed. “You’ll blow our cover.”
“What cover?” Choji looked around. They were hiding behind two trashcans.
“They’re leaving!” Ino grabbed Choji and started to quickly walk forward. “We have to see what they’re doing.”
“Ino,” Choji began, “This is called stalking.”
“WHAT?” Ino screeched before covering her mouth and looking around. Satisfied that no one heard her, she whispered, “This is not stalking. It is just two teammates concerned over the welfare of their friend. Now, they went into that restaurant.”
Choji groaned. “I love food, but this has been going on for three hours! And I haven’t been anywhere near the food except the stuff they throw out.”
“So?” Ino shot back, “We are making sure that Shikamaru does not get attacked by that….T….T…Tempest…”
“Temari,” Choji corrected, “And why would she attack him? They are working on the Chuunin exams.”
“It might be a trap!” Ino replied.
“That’s just an excuse,” Choji retorted.
“What’s an excuse?”
Ino froze when she heard that familiar voice. Looking up, she saw Shikamaru and Temari standing in front of her. They had raised eyebrows and were looking curiously down at her.
“Oh, nothing. Just looking for…my kunai!” Ino grabbed her weapon from her boot, thanking god that she put it there this morning. “And I’ve found it! Come on, Choji, let’s go!” With that, Ino quickly ran off, dragging Choji behind her.
Panting, Choji told Ino, “I think we’ll stop, right?”
Ino nodded in reluctantly in agreement. “No more following Sand-girl. I’ll trust her.”
(Until a month later, when Temari visited again.)
A/N: And here’s the next one. Hmm…short, I know, but I wrote it on a whim. I’ll make the next one a little longer (or at least, try to when I think of it).
