Ok, let me start by saying I am DEEPLY sorry that I have not updated any of my stories in like forever. So truly, deeply sorry.

And let me say sorry about this chapter I know I haven't put anything up so I decided to put this up. And let me say it is definitely not my best work. It was in the moment and right not I think it isn't that good. It's basically gonna be a series of drabbles with Naruto and Ino around modern time concerning soccer practice and whatnot. So enjoy and I'll upddae as soon as possible.

AGAIN VERY SORRY!!

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

Soccer practice was something that the kids at Konoha elementary school really looked forward to. Especially the fifth graders in Mr. Iruka's class. Believe it on not most of the kids in his class were all in the soccer team.

Even thought he only had 15 kids in his class12 of them were on the team. The kids had went home to get the soccer clothes and equipment. Unfortunately Naruto had forgotten to tell his grandfather to pick him up since his parents had to work late. Fortunately for him, Ino lived right next to him so her dad come and pick the both of them up.

So there Naruto was, sitting on the corner of the sidewalk in front of the school right beside Ino standing, getting his ear talked off about God knows what.

Ino knew when Naruto wasn't listening to her and when she did she always hit him on the back of his head, and she did so.

As Naruto rubbed the back of his head where he swore a lump was being formed Ino huffed and sat next to him glaring.

Naruto put his hands down and started right back. "You never listen to me you know," said Ino.

Naruto shrugged while saying, "You never say anything important anyway so why should I listen"

"Well, you never know what I might say. I might have said that Sakura has a crush on you."

"Funny Ino, like she would ever say that"

"Yet you still go for her don't you."

Naruto shrugged again, "What can I say I'm hardheaded, speaking of Sakura, what's going on between you two, you haven't been talking to her lately, another fight I think."

Ino nodded, "Bingo Naruto, believe it or not I was defending you, again."

Naruto looked at her, "Again? What did she say this time about me?

She huffed, "The usual, that you were an idiot, you always were too energetic, and some other mean stuff. You know Naruto you shouldn't keep up this fac-fac-faca-

"Facade," said Naruto.

'Yeah that." Ino smiled

5 minutes passed until anything was said until Ino moaned, "Where is my daddy at?"

"It's only been ten minutes Ino he'll be here. We have 3 hour till practice started anyway. Why did you join anyway?"

Ino stared at the ground, "I don't know, everybody was in it and they looked like they were having fun, especially you and my Sasuke."

As she dreamiy said Sasuke, Naruto gagged a bit, "Oh please, you and every other god forsaken girl in fifth grade."

"You're right, like I have any chance with him right? He's too...perfect." She stated oh so happily.

Naruto couldn't stop staring dumbfoundedly at her smiling dreamingly until he figured that this might be the worst soccer practice to date. Ino stopped from dreaming to notice her father coming towards school.

"Look there's my dad. Come on time to go Naruto." Naruto got up slowly with a hint of dis-array in his step. Ino saw this and smiled, "You know Naruto you're not so bad looking yourself". She winked and giggled as Naruto's face turned red with embarrassment.

Inoichi, Ino's father opened the car door for Ino and Naruto. He saw Naruto's face and turned to Ino and said, "What's wrong with him."

Ino giggled, "Oh nothing, probably confused right now."

So yeah I know kinda horrible for my taste but I was like I have to put something on so ummmmmmmmmmmmm TADA!!

(God I feel horrible right now)
