Yay! Two new posts in one night! Huzzah! This is gonna be a multi-chapter, AUfic. If this is cliched, I apologize now.

Warnings for this chapter: Bad language. Broken hearts. Possible OOCness.

Since its AU, it will take place in highschool. Naruto and the gang are 16. Neji, Lee, and TenTen are 17. I used 'kun' because it just fit. That's the only Japanese that will be used. I am not fluent in the language, and therefore I do not want to insult anyone fluent in Japanese just because of by lack of knowledge.

Pairings: Obvious in this chapter. The next will have a list of pairings.

"talking"

'thoughts'


Prologue:

"Don't you think this is kinda cruel, Sasuke-kun?" a soft voice asked hesitantly. Emerald eyes searched obsidian ones.

"Aren't you getting annoyed by Naruto asking you out every day? I know I'm annoyed with Ino."

"But isn't there another way?" the girl opened her mouth to speak again, but was cut off as a pair of soft lips descended on hers.

Chapter 1:

"Guess what, guys! Sakura-chan asked me to meet her after school under the oak tree near the parking lot. I think she'll actually agree to go out with me finally!" The exuberant blond literally skipped all the way to his tablemates.

A teen with short, spiked brown hair grinned at his best friend. "Seriously? It's about time she agreed. You've been pining for her, for what? 5 years now?"

Naruto smiled. "It all paid off though, eh Kiba?"

"Congrats, Naruto."

"Thanks, Chouji." The chubby boy nudged their final friend sitting at the table. Lazy brown eyes regarding the cheerful blond boy.

"Just be careful." Naruto paused in eating his sandwich.

"Eh? Whaddya mean, Shikamaru?"

"Forget it. Troublesome idiot." Naruto shrugged and continued eating as more students entered the bustling cafeteria.

----------------------------------

Ino stood at her locker, fiddling with the combination. "Yes." She announced happily as it popped open.

"Ino." A deep voice pulled her away from taking out her history book.

"Sa-Sasuke-kun." She stuttered slightly and blushing.

He smirked, and she felt as though her insides were melting. "Meet me after school today under the tall oak near the parking lot." With that said he turned and left, ignoring the random girls who swooned as he walked past.

"Sasuke-kun…wants to meet me after school!" with a squeal, she grabbed her books and slammed her locker shut. "I can't wait to tell Sakura!"

--After School--

Naruto finished putting all of his books into his dark orange backpack. Straightening his clothes, he turned to Kiba. "How do I look?"

Kiba circled his friend, and eyed his outfit critically. Faded jeans hanging off his waist held up by a belt. Orange and navy stripped polo unbuttoned. A white-tee barely visible. Dark blue sneakers.

"Well..?" Naruto prompted.

"If I was gay, I'd take you off to a corner and have my wicked way with you."

Naruto growled and punched Kiba. Hard. In the jaw. "Be serious, bastard."

Kiba scowled, rubbing his sore jaw. "Can't take a joke, can ya?"

Naruto looked ashamed. "It's just…I really like Sakura…and I want to impress her."

Kiba's glare softened. He had known Naruto for years and the blond had never looked so nervous as he did now. "You look fine."

Naruto grinned and waved as he began walking towards the exit. Kiba smiled, but remembered Shika's earlier words. 'What if she is just gonna break his heart?' Turning, Kiba called out. "If she doesn't give you a chance. She's just a moron who doesn't deserve you. There are plenty of other fish in the sea."

Naruto slowed and began walking with a renewed vigor.

-----------------------------

Ino excitedly smoothed her violet skirt in the bathroom mirror. Her friend Sakura had disappeared after the final bell. Studying her reflection in the mirror, she pulled on her denim jacket over her white tank top. Brushing her pale blonde hair, she smirked.

"Sasuke has finally come to his senses. He's realized I'm the perfect girl for him." With an arrogant flip of her hair, she tightened her shoelaces and headed out the door.

------------------------------

Two blondes arrived at the same exact at the same exact time. Ino raised an eyebrow when she saw Naruto before exiting.

"Don't you have detention or something?"

Naruto rolled his eyes. "Shouldn't you be stalking Sasuke or something?"

"Humph."

Both pushed the doors open at the same time and headed towards the parking lot.

"So, what are you doing without dog boy and that lazy ass and Chouji." Chouji was a childhood friend like Shikamaru, but she didn't have the heart to nickname him like she did Shikamaru.

"I'm meeting someone."

"Me too."

Both continued to walk, until they turned into the parking lot and the tall oak tree. Walking even closer, they saw two figures step forward.

When they were only 10 feet away, the two figures were identified.

It was Sasuke and Sakura.

Kissing.

"What…" Ino uttered. Naruto realized what happened first.

"They planned this…they wanted to hurt us."

With one kiss, two hearts were broken. With one kiss, two loves were scorned.

With one kiss, one vow was made.

"They will pay." Naruto and Ino decided.


Yes, short. But I can't help it. I also couldn't help adding the Kiba & Naruto interaction part. I love those two.

Review and tell me what you think of this story and/or what you would like to happen. Otherwise I'll continue happily (C-Chan: cluelessly) typing this story!

C-Chan: Would you really want that?
