A/N: I don't own Naruto


The sun rose in the beautiful blue sky. Birds began singing there happy tone. Everyone in Konoha was getting up from a wonderful rest to start the new day, almost everyone at least. Naruto sighed to himself in his small bed. 'What am I going to do?' the blonde teenager thought to himself. He slowly got himself out of bed and slowly walks to his small bathroom. He looked at himself in the mirror.

"Okay Naruto today is the day you tell her!" He shouted at his reflection. "But…What if she doesn't see me the same way again?" He asked himself while getting in the hot shower. Once he was done he walked back into his room, trying to find some clean clothes. Soon he found some clean ones on his dresser and quickly put then on. He sat on his bed grabbing a picture of him and his long-time girlfriend, hugging closely together with huge smiles on their faces. He smiled softy remember that day they took the picture.

"Ino…" He said to himself. It took him awhile to finally admit his feelings to the hyper blonde but about a year ago he finally told her and was extremely happy to find that she has had the same feelings for him as well. They became inseparable ever since. He knew that one day when they're older he would ask her the big question and that she would accept it. But that was years from now and he was only 16yrs old so he shouldn't be thinking about that right now. He laughed to himself and made his way towards the kitchen to find something to eat for breakfast. Naruto sighed in disappointment to find that the only thing he has in his kitchen is a bottle of orange juice and one slice of bread. 'We'll I guess I'm going to have to make due' He grab the bread and the orange juice and began eating his small breakfast. Why is it that I told everyone else about the Nine-tailed Fox but her?' He asked himself. He's been planning on telling her for so long but feared of what she would say or what she would do.

He didn't want to ruin their relationship but he has to tell her eventually but the thing is when he is going to tell her. He got up and began to walk out the door.

"Maybe a walk around the village would help me clear my head" He said, locking his door behind him, then walk done the stairs off his apartment building. As Naruto began walking, he started thinking that maybe he should keep it a secret 'I mean what she won't know won't hurt her, right?' his thought were interrupted by the sound of Akamaru's loud barking. Soon Akamaru appeared in front of the blonde. On his back was his master and best friend Kiba. Holding on to Kiba was none other then his shy girlfriend Hinata. Naruto smiled friendly at the couple. "Hey, Kiba and Hinata!" he greeted loudly.

"What's up Naruto" Kiba jumped off of his huge dog and waved at Naruto.

"H-Hello Naruto" He greeted while trying to get off of Akamaru's back. Kiba gently grabbed Hinata's waist and helped her off of his dog.

"Hey what are you guys doing up so early" Naruto winked, causing Hinata to blush uncontrollably and even Kiba had a small blush on his face.

"Hey we weren't doing anything you pervert! I just wanted to take Hinata out for breakfast!" Kiba shouted defensibly. Naruto laughed loudly.

"Hey Kiba don't lose your hair, I was joking I know Hinata wouldn't let you try anything funny" Naruto said patting Hinata on the back causing her to blush even more. Naruto looked at Kiba, who was glaring at him, confusingly 'Boy he sure gets jealous fast' Naruto retreated his hands to his pockets. Kiba breathed then gently grabbed Hinata's soft hands and jumped on his furry back. "We'll I guess I'll see you two later then!" Naruto waved to the happy couple.

"Later Naruto!" Kiba shouted to the blonde with a huge grin on his face.

"G-Goodbye Naruto" Hinata waved slowly then held on to Kiba as Akamaru began moving. Naruto walked the opposite way and getting back to his thoughts 'I remember when I told those two about the Nine-tailed Fox' When Naruto told Hinata and Kiba he wasn't expecting them to not accept him, Those two have to be the friendliest ninja's in the entire village so he knew that they were not going to shun him like most of the villagers used to do. He smiled a bright smile thinking about his friends . He smiled even brighter seeing his favorite ramen stand is open. Once he got there he realized that he left his wallet at his apartment. He frowned then grinned when he saw that Shikamaru, Choji, and Sakura sitting silently while eating their food. He quickly walked toward them, smiling childishly.

"Hey guys how's it going?" He asked while sitting next to Choji. Sakura looked up to see her smiling teammate.

"Oh hey Naruto" She smiled.

"Hey Naruto, how's it going?" Choji said but Naruto couldn't understand him with the food filling his mouth and all. Shikamaru nodded, acknowledging his presence. Naruto sighed 'He still hasn't got over it has he?' Ever since Shikamaru found out about Naruto's growing feelings for his teammate he's been speaking to Naruto on friendly terms. That's when Naruto found out that Shikamaru has been having romantic feelings for the blonde beauty and felt a sting of jealously hit his heart. Ever since then they have been arguing and fighting for Ino's heart. But it seems that Naruto has won, causing Shikamaru to isolate himself from Naruto for almost a year.

"So Naruto why are you up so early" Sakura asked putting her chop sticks down.

Naruto looked at the table for a bit then looked at the others "Well the thing is that I'm planning to tell Ino that I'm a Jinchuriki" They looked at him with surprise.

"You mean you haven't told her yet?" Choji asked. Naruto shook his head. "Why?"

"Well it's just that…I don't want to ruin our relationship with the fact that I have a demon inside me. I don't want her of all people to see me as the monster that almost destroyed Konoha, you know." Naruto explained.

"Geez Naruto give Ino some credit I mean…she's shallow but not that shallow" Sakura got up and patted Naruto on the back. "Naruto I can personally say that Ino loves you a lot and the fact that you are a Jinchuriki isn't going to change a thing" Sakura smiled at Naruto.

"B-But what if she does think that I'm a freak? What if she thinks that I should be lock up with chains on my wrist and ankle's begging for food?" he questioned the pink haired kunoichi.

"Asshole…" Shikamaru mumble but Naruto understood him.

"Hey who are you callin an asshole?" Naruto questioned the sleepy ninja. Shikamaru got up and glared at Naruto.

"I said that you are an asshole for thinking that Ino would ever think that lowly of a person…especially some one that she cared about since the moment she saw him!" He said then walked off in a rage. Choji ran off to go find his friend, leaving Naruto and Sakura alone. Sakura sighed to herself and slowly got up.

"Now I have to deal with a pissed off lazy sloth. This mission is going to suck!" She said putting the money down on the counter and waving goodbye to a stunned Naruto. 'I don't think of Ino that way at all…don't I?' He began walking out of the ramen stand, completely losing his appetite. He started to remember when he told Choji about the Nine-Tailed Fox. Choji surprisingly laughed saying that he knew something was special about him. For a celebration for Naruto telling him he said he'll treat him to some Korean Barbeque. Sad thing was that Naruto had to pay for the whole meal (and you know how Choji eats). Sakura and Shikamaru figured it out and yet they didn't shun him or ridicule him. Naruto found himself in the middle of the training grounds.

"How did I get here?" He asked himself but quickly dodged a kunai that was thrown at him. He turned to see who threw and saw Tenten, Lee, Neji, and Shino walking towards him.

"Sorry Naruto I didn't see you there" Tenten apologized to the blue eye ninja. Neji shook his head.

"Tenten you should really pay more attention or you can get someone killed" Neji said while pulling the kunai off of the tree.

"Hey you were the one who distracted me you jerk!" She shouted at the calmed Hyuga prodigy. Shino just sighed then began walking back into the forest that surrounded them. Neji soon followed after leaving Tenten and Naruto. Tenten sighed then began walking the same direction.

"Hey see you later Naruto!" She shouted then ran go to catch up with the others. Naruto sat down under a tree and started remember when he told them. Like the rest of his friends they accepted him completely. Shino said that he can understand how Naruto feels, feeling like freak and a weirdo just because of the fact that you're a little different then the rest. Naruto smiled remembering Shino's words. 'Maybe Sakura's right…If everyone else can accept me then so can my girlfriend!' Naruto quickly got up and jumped on one of the branches then jumped on another until he reached the top of a building. He quickly ran to the flower shop that Ino's family owns. Once he reached the small shop he quickly walked in seeing his beautiful girlfriend rearranging flowers on the counter. He smiled mischievously and slowly walked towards the beauty. He then wrapped his arms around the blonde then resting his head on her right shoulder. Ino jumped a little then relaxed in Naruto's arms.

"How's the most beautiful girl in the fire country doing?" He said as he began nuzzling in Ino's shoulder. Ino giggled lightly.

"Pretty good how about you" She said getting out of Naruto hold, to Naruto's disappointment.

"Actually I was going to buy some flowers for someone" He said looking around the shop. Ino quickly turned her head in surprise. "Yeah how do you think she'll like these?" He said pointing at a bouquet of red and yellow roses (I don't know if there are yellow roses because I don't really think about flowers all that much or at all). Ino grabbed the flowers roughly and charged them.

"That would be $10. 50!" she shouted but stopped when she felt Naruto's warm lips on her soft cheek. Naruto, while kissing Ino's cheek, moved the flowers into her hands.

"They're for you sweety" He said with a grin and blush began appearing on his face. Ino quickly softly pressed her soft lips onto Naruto's lips. Naruto automatically kissed back. It was a short kiss but it had the passion of a long one. Ino giggled into her hands.

"They better be for me or I would have clocked you" she said playfully punched Naruto's shoulder. Naruto laughed childishly at her antics. "I'm going to go put them in a vast, I'll be right back." She said them made her way into back of the shop. Naruto's smile slowly faded when he can to a realization. I'm going to tell her today' he decided in his head. Ino quickly opened the door seeing Naruto with a serious face. "Hey what's wrong Naruto?" she asked.

Naruto shook his head and faked a smile "Nothing Ino…Hey you wanna go for a walk?" He asked.

"Okay let me just let my parents know first." She said then cleared her throat "HEY MOM I'M GOING OUT OKAY?" she shouted.

"OKAY INO!' Her mom responded. Naruto looked shock. 'I can't believe Ino can shout that loud' He thought, while grabbing Ino's hand. They began their walk at the Konoha Park, which was a beautiful place to walk at. The trees were huge and shielded the residents from the sun, the grass was a beautiful green, that in the morning, glitter like green gold. Naruto and Ino were walking in silence, enjoying each others company. Naruto stopped walking, pulling Ino bad.

"Okay Naruto what's wrong?" She said with her hands on her hips.

Naruto paused for a second then looked at her with seriousness written on his face. "Ino…there's something I have to tell you…"

"What is it Naruto?" She said while pulling Naruto to the ground to sit next to her under a large tree. Naruto quickly took his hand out of her hand and sighed.

There's something about me that you don't know Ino….Remember when the village was attacked by the Nine-Tailed Fox 16yrs ago" Ino nodded confused about why would the nine-tailed fox have something to do with her boyfriend. Naruto continued "Well it wasn't killed…it was actually sealed into a baby…and I-I was um…the baby" He stopped for a second then began again "Ino…I'm a Jinchuriki…The Nine-tailed Fox is inside of me…" He finished ready for her to scream and run to some unknown destination but she just sat there with shock and understanding written on her face.

"Does it hurt you Naruto" Ino asked. Naruto shook his head then his eyes widen when he felt her arms wrapped around his body. "Is that why all those villagers were so mean to you? Oh Naruto…I'm so sorry that I didn't make it easier for you" She sobbed in his shoulder. Naruto wrapped his arms around her and he started to laugh, causing Ino to look up at him.

"Don't apologize Ino, It wasn't your fault." He hugged her tighter. "So… you accept me Ino" Naruto asked.

"Well off course I do!" She shouted in his shoulder. "Why would you think I wouldn't?" She giggled then quickly kissed him on the lips.

"I-I don't know I just thought that you might think of me as a monster" He said, while still holding onto Ino's waist.

"Naruto… I could never think of you as a monster….But I do think that you're the nicest, kindest, strongest, and most handsome guy that I know that would do anything for a friend or anyone in need and that's the total opposite of any monster that's out in the world" She giggled and hugged him tightly.

"I-I feel the same way about you Ino…without you…I would be nothing" he said locking Ino in a passionate kiss that felt like years has passed by. When they finally broke the passionate kiss, mainly because they were losing breathe, they started giggling. Soon they both got up form the ground and walk towards the flower shop.

"Naruto…" Ino said

"Yes Ino…"

"I love you!" She kissed his cheek, causing Naruto to blush.

"Hehehe…I love you too!" he said kissing her on the tip of her nose. Suddenly a thought came to Ino.

"Hey you never paid for those roses did you?" She shouted angrily at the male ninja.

Naruto laughed nervously "I-I thought it was on the house."


A/N: This is my very first one shot and I'm so happy that I finished it. I kind of thought of this on the way home from school so I Immediately decided to write it just to get it off my mind. I was actually thinking of making it a two-shot to show how Shikamaru accepting Naruto and Ino's relationship that's for you to decide so…Let me know!
