Well, this is more of an introduction chapter. Can you guess who the couple is going to be? Ha. Enjoy.

"Sasuke! Coming for dinner? We're having Oden and Ramen! Your fave!" Sakura yelled across the hall to Sasuke's room. He was taking a nap, as usual.With his nonstop training with Kakashi and Naruto, he was worn out all the time.

Sakura scurried down the hall and knocked on his door. "You up? Come one...You aren't skipping dinner again tonight! I slave over a hot stove every day for you and your oh-so-helping friend Naruto. Ino and I barely get time to ourselves!" She pounded on the door furiously. "GET UP!" She yelled again, and ran back into the kitchen.

Sasuke groaned, as he rolled to the other side of his bed. "Yes, honey." He said, mocking her housewife-like qualities. He opened his eyes just a bit, but then quickly shielded them from the blasting sunlight beaming into his room.

Naruto, in his bed across from Sasuke, sat up, eyes closed, and felt his way out the door. Sasuke sat up, yawning, slipping on his house shoes. He shielded his eyes, as he walked towards the window, to close the curtains. He opened his eyes, continuingly blinking. And slipped on a black shirt, and some white shorts that went to about his knees.

"Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww..." Said someone, coming from the kitchen.

"Is this cooked dog?!" Naruto screamed.

"GAH!!! YOU INSOLENT BAKA!!! YOU TURNED OVER THE NINIKA!!!" Screamed Sakura.

"Ninka? What the hell is that?"

"MY GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GREAT--SOMETHING GRANDMOTHER'S RECIPE!! I'M GONNA KILL YOU"

"Oh-Oh no. NOT INNER SAKURA!!"

There were rapid footsteps continuing down the hall.

The door flew open, and the yellow haired boy flew through the air.

"SASUKEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" Yelled Naruto as he pounced on Sasuke. "HELP!"

"GAH!!!!!GET OFF ME! YOU SMELL LIKE WET DOG!"

"THAT'S SAKURA'S NINPOO..NINLALALA...COOKED DOG!!" Yelled Naruto.

Sasuke kicked the beast off of him,stood up, and brushed himself off. "You shouldn't have turned it over. Idiot." He said.

Sakura burst in after him, and pounced on Naruto, beginning to beat him as she normally did for his foolish pranks.

"YOU STUPID- IDIOT- UNDERACHIEVER-..." She mumbled, being drowned out by Naruto's screams.

Sasuke shook his head, and walked out of the room.

He walked into the kitchen, only to see Ino stirring something in a bowl.

He walked behind her and sniffed. "What's that?" He asked.

She smiled. "Oh..Just some soup. Nothing strange like..." She looked down at the floor, at the dog shaped hunk of meat. "Like Sakura's Ninika." She said with a smile.

Sasuke grabbed a plate from the stack in the cabinet above Ino, brushing his hair against her cheek, making her blush.She turned away from him, hiding her face.. "Heh..U-uhm...Well..Everything's ready!" She said. She walked to the kitchen door. "Sakura! Naruto! Come on, we're ready to eat!" She yelled through the hall.

Sakura walked out of Sasuke's room, with a contented look on her face. "Let's eat!" She said, as she entered the kitchen.

Naruto limped out of his room, and down the hall. "Eh..." He groaned, and entered the kitchen.

They all got their plates, and gathered at the table. They all, 'dug in' .

"So...Ino-Pig..Not getting in control of that acne problem I see." Naruto said, sending small contained laughs around the table. Ino sighed. "Naruto. Must you be so immature? Pimples go away. Bad grades and poor attitudes don't." She said, and took a bite of her Oden.

Sakura made a loud chuckle, but noticing the akward stares she was getting, she shoved some Ramen into her mouth.

"Hey! I get good grades! Just because I don't get straight A's like you three, doesn't mean I'm stupid!" He yelled across the table.

"I don't think D's and low C's count as good grades. Meerly passing ones." Sasuke said, without emotion in his face.

" I wouldn't be so confident Sasuke. You got an F on that exam Kakashi gave us. Naruto got an A." Sakura said.

" Are you aiming to be a scholar or a ninja, Sasuke? " Ino asked with a chuckle.

"Shut up. One test doesn't make him better than me. " He said with frustration.

"Can we change the subject, please?" Sakura said.

"Fine with me." Ino said, finishing her Oden.

Chopsticks chimed on the bowls and plates, more vibrant in the akward silence.

Finally, someone spoke up.

" Kakashi let me read a bit of that strange book he always reads.." Naruto said awkwardly.

"Make-Out Paradise?" Ino said.

"I guess...Really strange...And...Gross.." Naruto said.

" He's a perv." Sakura said with a smile. "I think I saw him eyeing Hinata the other day."

"SICK!" Naruto yelled.

Ino laughed. "Don't be jealous, Naruto. I'm sure they haven't did anything...yet. Every girl in Konaha has had a crush on him at least once." She said, smiling.

"Yes..He's pretty cute." Sakura said.

"SICK! SICK,SICK,SICK!" Naruto said, standing up. "I'm leaving!" He said, walking away.

Sasuke stood up. "I'm done too. I'm going to take a shower." He walked out.

"I'll get the dishes, Sakura. You should go get ready for your date with Neji." She said, smiling. "Awh, really? Thank you. I'll do them for the rest of the week, I promise." She said, giving Ino a small hug. "No problem." She said. She got up, and did the dishes.
