Why did love have to have such horrible taste; did it not care about shape or size? Honestly, if Ino was cupid she would match all good looking guys with good looking girls. Shallow? Ino didn't care. Ino saw her way and only her way as correct. So why was cupid so cruel to her? What had she done to make the diaper wearing god so angry? (1)

She had loved Sasuke-kun, but then he went away and with him her love. So the Yamanaka was left without a 'future lover'. That was until Sai showed up. Ahhh...Sai; handsome, intelligent, though socially dense, he would have been a great boyfriend. There was just one little problem, she didn't love him. Of course, Ino didn't care because she should love him; she'd learn to love him. He was handsome, intelligent, and sweet; what wasn't to love? At first, she had pretended to love the socially stupid boy, but then...

Then cupid played a cruel trick on her. Making her fall in love with someone she shouldn't be in love with, making her physically attracted to a boy she shouldn't want so badly, making her stutter at the mere mention of her once beloved family friend and teammate, Chouji.

Over the years he'd lost his baby fat and gained a hell of a lot of muscle. Not only had he magically obtained mucle, but Chouji also magically got taller, a lot taller. Oh, and he's the epitome of patience. He's like a fucking saint! He's a ninja, he's not suppose to be fucking saint like! As if to infuriate Ino even more, Chouji doesn't even get upset when she calls him fat anymore.

Though he'd lost weight, a lot of it, he was still a bigger man for a 16 year old. His facial features seemed gentler now than before. Chouji became, even though Ino would never admit it, a perfect gentleman and was slightly cute.

So, why shouldn't Ino love him?

Why wouldn't Ino admit to loving him?

Her first and only excuse was…

He's my teammate and a friend of the family.

For some reason, only Ino knew, this made him unavailable. It was somehow wrong. The truth is… Ino's a coward.

She, like most people, is afraid of rejection. Usually the florist had an impenetrable barrier of confidence, but a little too much was at risk. The thing at risk was her and Chouji's friendship.

If she were to tell her teammate her feelings one of two possibilities would happen. Either he would think this was some joke and uncharacteristically get mad at her or laugh and tell her off.

Ino's mind was seemingly torturing her as it made her remember a long ago forgotten memory.

"Chouji, you really need to lose some weight or you'll never get a girlfriend," Ino stated confidently, "People won't find you attractive."

Oh, the irony of it all!

Ino had news for Neji, he wasn't the only one Fate hated.

What was a hopelessly love struck teenager to do?

Ino had a plan, a very simple, easy plan.

Ignore it.

Ignore the weird feelings she got around her slightly over weight teammate. Should be easy, right?

(1)- In my mind I've always pictured Cupid as a baby with little white wings that wears a diaper, ok? Yes, he even has a little baby bow and little baby arrows (that aren't sharp. Baby safe you know? lol)

Other chapters are going to be longer. It's just this is the prolouge and other chapters are going to be written a little differently than this one.
