Ino smiled as she finally got the girl to talk. Leaning back on her elbows, the blonde smirked, turning her bright eyes to the sky. She spoke in a sing-song voice, a light smile gracing her lips, eyes dancing. "Come on, Hina-chan, speak up!" She looked over at her, still smiling that carefree and gentle smile, open and friendly. Like Ino wasn't a girl filled with all sorts of insecurities and nightmares, and memories about what it was to scramble out of a dying body (Stop thinking about that Ino, it doesn't matter, you killed him to protect your village, to protect your teammates--). It was too happy and too innocent to be the smile of a girl grown up too fast, a girl trained to manipulate and lie and cheat and kill. "I just pay attention, is all," Ino answered cryptically, flipping her hair over her shoulder as she stretched. Reaching out and plucking a dandelion, Ino raised it to her eyes, examining it calmly. "We have some great chrysanthemums coming in. I was wondering if you'd want to help us out sometime this week. I haven't been able to press a lot of flowers lately, and they've been selling like explosive-tags..." Ino trailed off, and blinked, suddenly remembered Shikamaru was there. He almost looked asleep...Ino tickled his nose with the dandelion, watching the seeds disperse from the flower. "Pffft, you alive, Shika-kun?"

Krimson looked at her drawing. "I like this one better then the last one" she said to herself. she looked at the picture and looked at the girl. "The closest I can get to her" she said with a sigh

Shikamaru's nose twitched and he sat up fast sneezing. h\He turned to Ino with a dull gaze and his eye twitching.
" Yea. I'm alive. I'm just concentrating on something."
He laid back down looking at her and Hinata and din't even bother to listen in. He reallydidn't care what the girls were talking about. He stretched his arms out and put them behind his head looking at the sky with a dull look again. he was already drifting off into his own little space.
' That girl over there keeps looking over here drawing.. I wonder what she's drawing.' He thought to himself while closing his eyes. 'It's probably some flowers on a moonlight sruck lake or something. Something a girl would like to draw about.' He took a deep breath and let out a sigh opening his eyes and looking at Ino. ' She is acting so nice toady that it's starting to freak me out. I guess i should be nicer too. Atleast for today..' He sat up and looked at Hinata and Ino both acting interested in what they were talking about. But for some reason his eyes kept drifting off to the girl drawing in her sketchbook.. 'What's up with her?'

Krimson was so bored. she did not know where her team was so she decided to bug them. she got bored of that and she decided to draw them. now she had nothing to draw. she grabed her head with both hands and thought of something. 'Hmmm......I should draw a crow...now that is something!' she thought to herself. she bit her tounge and continued to draw

Hina-chan smiled softly, before laughing a bit at Shika-kun's reaction. They seemed so close, Ino-chan and Shika-kun, but Hina-chan wouldn't say anything about it, afraid she'd spark that oh so familliar Yamanaka anger. Then SHika-kun seemed to be getting slightly annoyed but she also noticed his gaze flickered from them to the girl, very little interest in them but alot in the girl and what she was doing. "I-I'd love to h-help." She tried to talk a bit louder, succeeding, only in the least though.

Ino laughed brightly as Shikamaru sneezed, her eyes locked on the seeds that exploded away from the flower. Wow...he had gotten them all. She had never been able to do that... She dropped the flower in his lap, pushing him lightly. "Well, make your wish! And make it count, or I'll have to maim you severely! I've never been able to blow them all off, so I'm living through you." Her eyes gleamed dangerously for a moment, before she returned her attention to Hinata. Ino breathed a sigh, but smiled nonetheless, poking the quiet girl in the shoulder. "Well, that's a bit of a start, And good! I was starting to get worried that I'd never be able to get the flower presses done!" Giggling, Ino flopped back entirely, one of her hands resting subconsciously on her kunai holster. She had gotten the feeling of being watched for a while...it had passed, but still...she was slightly worried. "I wonder how Chou-kun's doing..." Random. Or is it? O:

He lookedat Ino and Hinata and pondered to himself.. ' A wishhuh??.. I wish that a certain person would be this nice for more than one day.' He closed his eyes laying back again. He yawned and let out a sigh. He stretched his arms out and got into a relaxing position.
" Ino. You and Chouji seemed to have gotten really close over the time I was gone on that mission. You actually worry about him more. What's that about?"
He spoke with his usual expressionless tone and looked at her with one eye closed. He yawned once againand put his hands behind his head taking a deep breath of fresh air. 'No training. No laps. No nothing. Days like this are perfect.' He smiled to himself while talking to himself in his head.

Krimson had been doing her drawing pretty fast this fine day. "hmmm I must be in a good mood..." she said to herself. she looked up to see two of the three were occasionally looking at her. "you know..." she started as she colored in the bird. "...I can move away if I'm making you guys nervous or something" she said looking up at the slightly

Hina-chan fell silent. That's right Chou-kun was away, like Kiba-kun and Shino-kun were. She heard the girl and looked up sharply, shaking her head quickly. "Y-You don't have t-to. S-sorry.." She replied, fidgiting a bit before letting her hands fall to the ground beside her, acting as the force to hold her up. Other than that she remained silent, and listened to that around her.

Ino's fingers had threaded themselves into her hair, pale gold spilling over her gentle hands like cool water, and she had closed her eyes, smiling into the crisp breeze. For a moment, she felt like she was falling into oblivion, drowning in blue and green and a thousand different emotions. And yet, the falling was freedom, and for one moment, there was an emptiness in her mind. A calm...a quiet. How ironic that Shika-kun should be the catalyst for her return to the mundane. Chou-kun... The name drifted through her mind like the butterfly she had come to associate with her friend. Gentleness and kindness, and an incredibly tolerance for Ino's thoughtless remarks and cruelty...
Ino spoke without thinking, her bright blue eyes half-lidded. Had she been less tired, more in control, she would have never let this slip. This was one of the secrets of her heart, guarded and kept under lock and key.
"I suppose...after seeing what happened to Chou-kun...on the mission to bring back the traitor..." Which could only be Sasuke, the bastard. "I...I was...afraid. I thought you two had left me all alone, screwed up the dynamic...when he was in ICU...I don't know, I just...realized I'd been a pretty bad friend...okay...a horrible friend, the worst teammate for you two...and...it's selfish...but I couldn't bear the thought of losing either of you two, and having been so...cruel. Chou-kun just...he just understood that, I think. Ever since..." Ino stopped then. She had forgotten Hinata was here, that she was admitting her weakness and insecurities. Clamming up, Ino rose to her feet, cracking her back in a semblance of casualness. "I'll...I should head back to the shoppe."

"o.k." she said to the girl as she looked back at her drawing. for some reason she started to feel sad. it puzzlled her and then it hit her. "Inugami was right..." she said shaking her head in disbeliefe. depression had finally hit her but this was only the beginning of it. "maybe I should not of burnned down the farm...." she said to herself.

Shikamaru sat up slowly with his hands on his head still. ' For some reason I just can't concentrate. Somethings bothering me I guess' He thought to himself while opening both of his eyes. He heard what Krimson said and looked at her with a dull look.' She's been drawing us probably. She's been looking over here alittle too much.'
" You can stay if you want. Your not troubling me."
He yawned and leant back looking at krimson still. He then looked at Hinata and Ino. He listened to what Ino said and couldn't help but be flattered in a way. He looked at her with a slight smirk.
" I don't mind the attitude that much. I got used to it. That makes you, you after all. I wouldn't want you any other way."
He nodded to her and saw her stand up. ' Now she is leaving when we were just starting to connect?? She's acting really weird today. More caring.' He shrugged it off and looked up at her.
" Ino.. Your acting strange today. Are you ok?"
He spoke like he actually cared and actually looked at her with a semi-caring look.

Hina-chan had zoned slightly, remembering everything that had went on since the time he left (it was hard not to see, Naruto-kun had become a great deal annoyed and determined, as had everyone else it seemed), but then a small feeling of being in the way washed over her. She looked at Ino-chan standing, getting to her feet as well. "I-Ino-chan, i-if it's all right, I-I can take o-over at y-your sh-shoppe?" She asked, trying to not stutter. SHe smiled before continuing with her reasons, "S-so you can spend t-time with Shika-kun." SHe blinked, looking at Shika-kun, smiling at his apprent caring before turning back to Ino-chan to see what her answer would be.

Subconsciously, Ino fiddled with one of the silver hoops that pierced her ear...one that Shika-kun and Chou-kun wore as well. The habit gave her some comfort, some strength, and Ino squared her shoulders, closing her bright eyes against the world. When they opened, they were hard and determined, strong enough to keep everyone at an arm's length. "I'm fine. Nothing's wrong." Ino could taste the lies on her tongue, no longer slipping out like honey, but congealing like blood. She wondered if she was going a little crazy, but reckoned all of them were a little screwed up in the head. Her fiddling with her earring grew more pronounced, the only fidget she allowed herself. "No! No...look, I don't want to bother you. Daddy has a particular way he likes things, and I need to set up the traps and..." More lies and bullshit, all intended to keep everyone away, from prying in. Ino couldn't bear the thought of people seeing her fears, her insecurities, her ugliness. She stopped fiddling, and began to walk briskly away, her golden hair swinging like a hypnotic pendulum, obscured by secrets and hidden beneath the many masks she wore.

Krimson sighed. it was time she should go and find her team. she looked at the three and sighed. she turned and headed toward the gate. depression was one of the worst things that had happened to her. she shoved her stuff in her park and walked off
