{I hope this is okay, and erm... allowed. n_n;;;}
The blonde-haired girl wasn't exhausted, not one bit. They'd been on the road for several days and she was as upbeat as ever. This was actually not a very hard mission at all for these two ninjas. The Naras and Yamanaka's fit like fingers to gloves when sent on spying missions. It was easy as well as silent and they often came back with accurate details.
Their mission now was to spy on a certain organisation that seemed to be smuggling medicinal herbs and then selling them to rogue nin. No, it wasn't Akatsuki, but it was certainly something Tsunade was concerned about, because if missing-ninja got the medicine's then, she could only do so much for her patients, especially her own shinobi.
Thus, Ino and Shikamaru had been assigned to track them, get all their information and take them out if they could- but if they couldn't, then the information was accurate, then Tsunade would perhaps send a Jounin as a backup.
"It's strange doing a mission in a pair, but I guess we have to get used to it. I normally do missions in threes, fours or alone," Ino chattered, as she laid to rest near a brook.
She took off her sandals just briefly, sensing no malevolent chakra and dipped her feet in the water and washed her face. They had been on the run for days, and they were almost there, so it paid to be refreshed for their eventual fight. Yes, Ino was determined to not only get the information, but kick their asses too. She was just like that.
"The water is really good, Shikamaru! Take your eyes off the sky and look on the earth for once," Ino requested more than ordered, her eyes softening at the water lily's that resided there.
"Wow, this is a pretty place too, there are more beautiful things than clouds. What's so interesting about them anyway? All they do is float..."

(Deciding to try out your way of rping. XP)
Shikamaru yawned, having been on the road with Ino for three days. After getting the mission, which was to spy on an organazation smuggling medical herbs, the pair was sent almost immediately. It was odd to go without Chouji, usually the three liked to tackle missions together, and they worked so well together too. But then again, the Nara and Yamanaka families worked very well together, and their jutsu even more so.
Its just that Chouji was always the 'muscle' to their team. Without him, Ino and Shikamaru had to be even more careful with who they picked their fights with. The lazy chuunin chuckled softly to himself. "Man things sure have changed..." He muttered as the two stopped near a steady stream. As soon as he could, Shikamaru plopped on the ground, staring up at the sky and the clouds as he rested his hands behind his head.
It really was peaceful, and it got his mind wandering again. "It's strange doing a mission in a pair, but I guess we have to get used to it. I normally do missions in threes, fours or alone," Shikamaru chuckled as Ino said that. He kind of thought she said that because she was on a mission with him.
"The water is really good, Shikamaru! Take your eyes off the sky and look on the earth for once," Shikamaru rolled his eyes as he heard a slight splash of water. He prefered to just gaze at the clouds, it was more special to him. But he decided to do this just once for Ino, and he slowly and lazily went to the water and sat down, taking off his own sandals and dipping them in the water. She was right, it was kind of nice. He then splashed some water on his face, but then one mishap with a splash, and accidentally splashed Ino in the face.
"U-Uh, I didn't mean that..." He started.

Ino's eyes narrowed as the water tickled her face and hair, her mouth immediately curling up in disdain as she looked ready to hit Shikamaru again.
"U-Uh, I didn't mean that..." He started.
Her eyes widened, the anger gone as she stared at his face and the way he'd said that. He looked almost scared and Ino burst into peals of laughter.
She pointed at him, snickering at the boy. She splashed some water on him, making sure to get it on his ridiculous topknot as well and laughed.
"You should have seen your face, you liked like I was about to crucify you!" Ino laughed.
Well, it wasn't really all that ridiculous a thought, as knowing Ino- she could blow up at sometimes the smallest of things. But perhaps, perhaps she wasn't so angry because he'd listened to her and budged off his bumb to freshen himself up and her feet were in cool water. No wonder her anger was at bay, besides, even though she was upbeat and energised, physically she was a little tired, the nonstop journey she'd made sure that Shikamaru endure would be enough. Unfortunately, she'd forgotten she'd not taken as many snacks and they'd gone at a more relentless pace without the mild manner of Chouji to persuade her to take a break.
"You got any food? Low fat, obviously, I'm on a diet," Ino affirmed, not that she needed to. Shikamaru knew she was always on some sort of diet.
"I think Sakura might be getting a slimmer waist than me!" Ino thought, scandalised at the thought. Sakura was also getting some very suspicious curves, but she didn't really involve Shikamaru in that topic, knowing he wouldn't care.

(hope you dont mind me)
Keiji had been down the road.His mission was same as thiers.Although for some reason he was supposed to get the rest from the Chunnin.Wondering who was he supposed to Pair with he sighed.
The good days when he was a chunnin were over.Nowadays he was a Jounin....making his days go by.Where are these Chunnin.He said to himself seeing no sight of life.
Jumping Into a few trees he finally caught sight of them.Jumping Down he walked over thier and looked at them.Widening his Eyes he said,"Ino Yamanaka..Nara Shikamaru.I am Keiji Fuzashi..Tsunade has Dispatched me as the Jounin of this Mission.She also told me you can tell me the Information."
Not having any emotion in his face he cracked his neck and started to circulate chakra all throughout his body to show them he was powerful for his Age.I hope they are as good as the others say...He said with a sigh.

Shikamaru looked away from Ino as she laughed, and then was about to argue when she splashed him and his hair too. "You should have seen your face, you looked like I was about to crucify you!" He simply shrugged his shoulders as a response, grumbling slightly. It was true, Ino could be very dangerous to deal with when she was mad, I mean really mad. Shikamaru remembered the many times he had to deal with her when she got that way, although him and Chouji usually just let her get her space till she felt better.
"Whatever." Was all he said as he continued to splash his face with water. He then heard his stomach growl slightly. Shikamaru and Ino were both hungry, he could tell she was. "You got any food? Low fat, obviously, I'm on a diet," She had said. Shikamaru nodded his head and dug into his pockets. He sighed, then walked back and opened the pack he had brought along for the trip.
"Man this isn't good, we're low on food." Shikamaru told her, taking out the remaining things they had to eat. It was really odd, with Chouji around, they usually never had to worry about food, he always brought a pretty huge amount with him wherever he went, and usually snacked on a bag of chips most of the time. Now the pair was low on food supplies, which would hinder their trip in the long run.
Shikamaru's head instantly shot up, reaching for his pouch as he heard someone jump down from the trees. He was about to throw a kunai, but then seeing someone also wearing the konoha headband, he relaxed. 'I guess they didn't think we could handle this. What a bummer...' Shikamaru thought as the jounin had introduced himself.
"Ino Yamanaka...Nara Shikamaru. I am Keiji Fuzashi...Tsunade has Dispatched me as the Jounin of this Mission. She also told me you can tell me the Information." Shikamaru nodded his head. 'I knew it, they decided to send a higher ranking ninja to make sure we stayed on track.' Shikamaru thought with a slightly annoyed look. He knew him and Ino could take care of this mission by themselves. But the hokage's decision was one they wouldn't argue. If she decided to send somebody with them, they would just have to deal with it.
Shikamaru was the first to notice Keiji's chakra signature, and how it flowed evenly and strongly throughout his body. (I think that's what its like) He was partially surprised, it almost added up to his own. "Guess they're not taking chances even on a lower ranked mission...that's right, I'm Shikamaru Nara." He introduced himself, then glanced at Ino. Since she was the team leader, he'd leave it to her to give the mission details.

"Guess they're not taking chances even on a lower ranked mission...that's right, I'm Shikamaru Nara."
Ino was looking sour as she caught Shikamaru's gaze but turned ot keiji and offered him a polite nod. How could they think she was not capable of this mission? Ino frowned, scrutinising him and realised she had seen him before in Konoha, and he didn't look like he was going to harm them.
"We have to gather information on a certain organisation that's been smuggling herbs and selling them to nuke-nin. They've been steadily moving up to the valley and their next attack, by our estimates was Tsuki no Kuni," Ino grinded out, trying to act nonchalant but was really put off.
The man was young too, not even a man really- perhaps even their age, but his chakra was incredibly steady. Ino hurriedly slapped on her sandals, got up and then stalked off to her pack, because she was more than annoyed at people underestimating her. She rifled through it, and then a smile seemed to grace her face. She'd conjured a plastic box and opened it.
"Yay! Baby tomotoes!" She brought out the small, red fruit and then washed it in the stream- she knew it was hygenic as it was a river, not a still lake.
She split it in half and then offered the half to the two boys while taking one half to herself. "Well, you two could eat these, they're yummy!"
Ino always loved small tomatoes, she didn't know why- perhaps their softness on her tongue, or perhaps the way they could add a dash of colour and flavour to anything, even though they were so simple. Ino nibbled on hers, rather content for the moment, which was very good for the boys.

So this is the well known blondy...He said sighing out of annoyance.Although he did see that they were slightly getting mad.At him? No...they probably think they can do it on thier own.Keiji didnt know what would happen so he stopped flowing his chakra and made very little to show.
Taking off a backpack he dropped it on the ground before them.Opening it up he pulled out some chips and said,"I brung enough food that should last you guys."Sitting down on a log he put both hands in a fist and waited.
This is extremely wierd...I am Dispatched one such a low ranked mission...Man i wish i was a Chunnin again.Standing up he looked towards Ino and shuke his head telling her he didnt want them.
Standing up he walked to the stream and put his hand in it feeling the water."I could've been home...Man i hate this baby missions.."He said outloud not caring if they heard him.Moving his hand in it he flicked some water up in annoyance of being stuck with them,although they were known...he woudnt care.

"We have to gather information on a certain organization that's been smuggling herbs and selling them to nuke-nin. They've been steadily moving up to the valley and their next attack, by our estimates was Tsuki no Kuni," Shikamaru nodded his head, and added. "We were just stopping for a bit to rest and re-cooperate." Honestly, he thought now that the jounin was here, that they'd have to get moving again. 'Man, so much for a break.' He thought with a frown.
He then watched as at the same time, Ino had brought out some baby tomatoes, and Keiji, some chips. "Yay! Baby tomatoes!" Ino had said. "I brought enough food that should last you guys." The jounin offered as well. Shikamaru shifted his eyes away. They were both good offers, but he decided to just have the food that was in his hands. At least that way he wouldn't offend any of them if he declined. He then watched as Ino offered him one.
"Well, you two could eat these, they're yummy!" Shikamaru decided to take it anyways, nodding his head. "Thanks I guess.." He then bit into it, watching the two. He was partially wondering if they would get time to rest before continuing to travel again. He watched as the jounin walked over to the stream, then surprised a bit as he had yelled.
"I could've been home...Man i hate this baby missions.." Shikamaru rolled his eyes slightly. Despite the fact this was a low-rank mission, he didn't have to complain...too much. Shikamaru chuckled, that was exactly what he was doing before him and Ino left Konoha, and he got smacked outside the head good for doing so.
"So, when do we head out." He asked, his question directed at both of them.

Ino did not like the sound of that sigh, it was not a swoony sigh-- it was like the frustrated exhalation of air she took when her teammates were lazy or when she was annoyed. Her eyebrow twitched.
"Calm... we're being calm today... no explosions, okay?" Her brain reminded her.
"I could've been home...Man i hate this baby missions.."
Ino bit into the tomato as if she was biting off the Jounin's head when he said those next words-- too loud for her liking. She ground the poor fruit, making sure to chew it and swallow it whole. "... yum."
She took a bite out of Shikamaru's food too, apparently the baby fruit had been unenjoyable to her tastes. Her glare wasn't masked when she impaled the jounin with her stare. If it wasn't for Shikamaru, Ino would have kept on glaring until she'd burned a hole through his head. She turned back around.
"So, when do we head out."
She was glad he was on this mission- she didn't think she could stand that haughty attitude any longer (the hypocrite).
"How about now?" Ino suggested.

Keiji Looked back at Ino Glaring at her and raising his Chakra Signatures to levels higher then both of them.Stopping he turned to Shikamaru.A Chunnin he was.Same as Ino...He coudnt stand the fact that he was placed on this Mission.Looking to Ino and Shikamaru again he once again raised his Chakra Signatures sky high.
"Oh...And if you guys didnt know.I dont care about this mission at all.I would rather be at home watching Tv or playing my gameboy.For some reason Tsunade-sama dispatched me to help a measily team of Chunnin Only for me to find out its Nara Shimaru and Yamanaka Ino.I didnt train hard as hell to become a Jounin at this age 17 for nothing.I done too many A ranked missions for this to happen.
And You Ino...I think you have a problem about the way i act.Incase you dont know i dont talk that much..its a waste of time.I heard of your hyper-activeness and i seen you at the...Nice going passing out when the Sound Nin attacked.Atleast i had my share of kicken some ninja ass.By the way good job losing to Sakura."
Closing his eyes once again he jumped onto a Tree Branch hanging from it with his own legs.Swinging on it he sat there almost falling asleep mid-air.

"... yum." Shikamaru glanced at Ino. He could tell that she was getting ticked at the jounin. It was obvious, on how loud she was chewing. To be honest with himself, Shikamaru was getting a bit annoyed with Keiji too. All he's done so far is complain and whine about how he was sent on such a low-ranking mission. Then, something almost made the chuunin choke as he listened.
"Oh...And if you guys didnt know. I dont care about this mission at all. I would rather be at home watching Tv or playing my gameboy. For some reason Tsunade-sama dispatched me to help a measily team of Chunnin Only for me to find out its Nara Shimaru and Yamanaka Ino. I didnt train hard as hell to become a Jounin at this age 17 for nothing. I done too many A ranked missions for this to happen.

I heard of your hyper-activeness and i seen you at the...Nice going passing out when the Sound Nin attacked. At least i had my share of kicken some ninja ass.By the way good job losing to Sakura."
Shikamaru then stood up, annoyed by this guy as he went up into a tree. He took a quick glance at Ino. He knew that that could really trigger her to become...dangerous and angry. He didn't want her to do that, so he quickly looked up at Keiji. "Hey watch it. I don't care if you are a jounin. And I really could care less with how much chakra your showing off to us. All your proving is that your a snob." Shikamaru said simply as he chuckled and closed his eyes.
"And I really think you shouldn't have went there, Ino has a knack for...giving people permenant headaches when going too far." He said, crossing his arms, his shadow wavering a bit. "Also, you don't want to get on my bad side either." Was the last thing he said before becoming silent. He couldn't believe he just stood up to a jounin. 'This guy better not have a readied counter-attack...if he does, I'm just not going to say anything.' Shikamaru thought.
