"I don't remember any of that," he tells Ino, "But I'm glad I was here for you when you arrived." Like she is now, on her way to him.

"I will. See you soon." Chouji senses her before he sees her too, neither of them bothering to try and mask their signatures. He readjusts his direction of movement to line up with hers, his smile widening to a grin as soon as she comes into view.

Chouji and Shikamaru didn't hug, but for Ino, considering how long she's been here without him, it doesn't seem like a bad idea. She's always been the most demonstrative member of the team. He opens his arms slightly in a silent offer. It's as much for him as for her. Chouji can't comfort her for a loss Ino doesn't even know about, but a part of him is trying to.
