In The Next Ten Years…
Chapter 1
Both Ino and Sakura sat in the downpour on a bench in the park. Ino's Shitzu dog, Daisy, sat in between them.
"So Ino, have any bright ideas to get us out of this mess?" Sakura snapped.
Ino had just got into an argument with her boyfriend who had kicked them out of their apartment.
Sakura moved in with Ino and her boyfriend about 3 months ago.
"I have an idea! We came crash at the boys' apartment for a while!" Ino exclaimed.
The boys, Shikamaru, Sasuke, Rock Lee, and Naruto, the group they hung out with in high school, 8 years ago (which makes Sakura 26.)
"Ino we can't! I haven't seen them in 8 years!" Sakura yelled.
Then Ino gave her that look and she finally gave in.
There they were Leaf Village apartments, in front of a blue door with the number 412 written in gold.
Millions of questions popped into Sakura's head, what would they think of her job or would Sasuke still be single? The door creaked open pulling Sakura from her thoughts. "INO! SAKURA!" Naruto yelled. He was as hyper as he'd ever been.
"Shut up Naruto and let us in already." Ino rolled her eyes.
Naruto invited the girls into his warm home.
"Sorry but the others are out tonight." He explained.
"May I ask where?" Ino questioned with that flirtatious look in her eyes.
"There aren't any women involved if that's what you're asking." Naruto said pouring himself a glass of milk.
"Ok fine ruin my dreams. So where are they?" Ino replied slightly disappointed.
"Sasuke's working overtime at the police station, Lee is at the gym, Shikamaru is also working overtime as a paramedic, and here I sit in front of you waiting for my fiancée to call." Naruto replied.
"You're getting married and didn't even decide to tell us!? So who's the girl?" Ino playfully took offence.
"She's a regular at my restaurant. Her name's Nevaeh and she's a real sweet girl." Naruto was clearly head over heels for this girl.
"It must be nice." Sakura smiled. Naruto just smiled back.
"Oh by the way, why are you guys here?"
Ino explained the whole story and agreed to let them stay in the extra room as soon as it was clean.
So tonight it looked like the living room for the two girls.
Because of Sakura's early hours she made her self a bed on the couch and fell asleep.
About an hour later the other boys came home.
They were talking and making lots of noise when they walked in causing Naruto and Ino to shush them (Ino and Naruto were eating ice cream and watching the Wizard of Oz which I also don't own.)
"Ino why are you here?" Sasuke questioned.
Ino shushed him again and pointed at Sakura. The group went into the kitchen to talk.
"My boyfriend kicked us out so we decided to crash here." Ino explained briefly.
"And Sakura, she…" Sasuke couldn't finish.
"She definitely has bloomed. Oh and by the way you two can come help me retrieve our stuff from my old apartment tomorrow." Ino said pointing at Sasuke and Shikamaru. Sasuke agreed and went to bed. Unfortunately Sakura would be on his mind all night.

A/N: Yay, one chapter down! I the title is in the next ten years… but I made it eight years for if I make a sequel, which I probably will. Eight is practically ten right?
Anyways, in the next chapter there will be some memories. It'll be kinda on the short side. Then again this one was also kinda short. Well if you want the next chapter please review.
