It's kind of funny. You think you know someone, but then fate does it twists and turns then reality hits you right in the face. I have been fooled many times. But I have had my chance of fooling everyone. In people eyes, they see: A Hyuga- strong, selfish, cold-hollow, bitter, warriors, fighters, and control freaks. But if you ask some close they say something totally different.

"Hey Ino what do you think about Hinata?" This very question surprise the blue eyed beauty, as the loud mouth blonde asked this to her no doubt. She cast a curious yet confused look at him. As if thinking why-do –you- ask? Maybe it was hopes for her friend, it surprise for the loud mouth to ask about their cute shy friend, especially when Hinata kind of has a thing for him. A crush no doubt that been hidden ever since preschool.

"Just want to know what you think?" he asked kind of confused by the look she was giving him. But this was Naruto the clueless blonde so it no surprise, to her at least. Ino licked her lips, she placing a finger on her cheek side in thought. Something she always does when thinking, you could even say it's a habit of hers.

"Well Hinata's a sweet- hearted person. Shy, unselfish, caring, motherly, happy, well there's really nothing bad I would say about her." She said casting a glance at the blonde. "Huh? Really, then are you sure she's a Hyuga?" he asked. That question was resolved with a punch on the head. "Hey! What you did that for?" He asked aiding his newly formed bump. Ino, slapped her forehead telling herself.

Should have known it was too good to be true.

Going back to her work in tending the many flowers that were placed on the rolls of shelves in the shop that her parents own. The shop was quite too many young couple, wedding planning, funeral arranges, and congratulations gift. Her glace cast to the still use seat that being occupied by the loud. Letting a small sigh, she dared to ask.

"Why are you here Naruto?" The response was no surprise came with him scratching his head dumbly way. Taking the hose as placing her finger over the mouth of the rushing water, small sparkles or water shouted out of the hose, giving Mother Nature children the health and life they need in this hot summer day. Her eyes sparkled at the sight of the new baby flowers sprouting out of it roots. The flower were daffodils, some of the mature plants had its petals, sun kiss yellow color fading to a sunny yellow.

"So you like flowers?" the voice surprise her, as she looked faced to face, with blue aqua eye's like her , but maybe his are bluer. The close distance, was slightly uncomfortable. His face close to her, as she placing a hand on his face, pushing him away to make the distance at least breathable. Possibly to get the embarrassing blush off her cheeks. "They're pretty...What flower that?" Naruto shouted pointing to a violet petal flower with a tilt of yellow on the bottom of the petal that sprouted out newly blossomed. Ino eye's soften to the flower, her sky blue eye's looking at it, as she took one out of the bucket of soil. "This is an Iris, the flower of compliments." She said to the blond placing the flower in his hand. "Compliments? " Naruto glanced at Ino with confusion written all over his face. He wasn't really the expert type at this or many other things. Fighting was the only thing in him and other shinobis mind, including his rival the lone Uchiha.

"Flowers have meaning; every flower has its own meaning. It's a way of expressing one's feeling without words." She said picking up a red lion like flower, the petals spread to the very core of the flower. "This is an Aster, flowers have meaning and history in them, like this one. "She said spreading it petals out of the droplets of water. "If the Aster petals were burned, the perfume of the flower would drive the evil serpents away. It referred to as the flower of Patience." She said walking away from the blonde who now had the Aster in his hand, glancing at the flower. His eye's traveled to Ino, who played with a small white petal flower. The flower looked familiar. Sakura always looked at those flowers, but yellow once. Remembering them exactly.

- (Flashback) -

"Sakura-chan what are you doing?" he asked his bubblem gum haired teammate, who had about a dozen, flowers in her arms. In returning from their mission from the snow village (which was now secured with their princess.) Even the Sasuke gave a question full look at her, but being the mysteries and cool like ninja, he look uninterested in knowing as long as it didn't have anything to do with him.

"There for Hinata, her birthday is tomorrow!" she said smiling, at the thought of the shy shinobi face when she sees the flowers, she got her. A thought came into her mind.

"Naruto why don't you get her some?" she said to him. Naruto scratched his head. " Naw, Hinata's to boyish for that kind of stuff, beside only a boyfriend suppose to do that kind of stuff." He said looking at some flowers, next to a weird looking plant, snatching the plant and flower up, he rush to Sakura.

"For you Sakura." He said holding the flower up to her, Sakura looked at it in horror. Backing away from him. While Naruto scratch his arm, head, then his face, then his leg, and before anything he was on a scratch fest.

"Idiot, that poison ivy!"She shouted walking forward, shouting at Sasuke to wait up for her. Leaving him to scratch and chase after them. Kakashi chuckled under his mask, his nose hidden on his book.

- (End of Flashback) -

"That a daisy right." He said walking up to her. Almost positive of the flowers name. Ino nodded, truly surprise that he guess the flower name right. "Yes, impressive guess forehead actually taught you something." She said to him. A cheesy grin appeared on Naruto face. As he walked around the shop letting Ino do her job. As he walked around, he stopped at the rose section of the flowers, and then skipped off the lilies. One flower in recognition hit his eye sight. "INO!" he shouted causing Ino to let go of a vase or arrange flowers hit the ground glass shattering all over the flower.

"NARUTO!" she shouted, at the mess he provoked her in doing. Grabbing a broom, she went over to the loud mouth idiot." Look what you made me do!" she shouted at him, as Naruto rushed to her with a flower in his hand, his face glowed. Sweat running down his face, as if he was looking at a miracle.

"What was the shouting about!" she said to him, hitting his head with the broom. That surely did the trick, waking him out of his crazy tantrum. " This…This..this..flower!" he babbled pointing at flower on his strong grip. A beautiful, and almost half death flower, which Ino snatched from his grip. "Don't grip the day light out of it!"She shouted putting the flower in a plastic cup of water. The blonde waved his hand like a maniac. "No-no...You don't get it, what flower is that!" he said demanding her. Shaking her shoulder, as if it was a life and death situation. " It..t..t's.. a..a.. Chrysatemum..m..now stop shaking me..e" She said hit his head once more to make him stop shaking her like a ragdoll. Naruto aided his head, crouching on his knees. "What the big deal!" She said placing her hand over her chest, wanting answers." What the meaning of the flower?" Ino massage her forehead, really not getting this guy at all. His reason had none. It was serious giving her a head ache." It has three meaning, by color..White means Truth, yellow means small love- and there is other she shouted at him. The look of horror on his face was priceless, even made Ino chuckled. He was jumping out of hyperiness, that it almost looks like he was going to pee his pants." Teme…Teme...has that flower!" he shouted at her. Ino eyes widen at this, but regain itself to her original look when reason came to mind.

"A fangirl probably got it for him." She said to him reasoning with him. She lost her love for the Uchiha a long time ago. It was childish; Sakura was still in love with him. That girl would never learn. Naruto shook his head at him.

"Teme got that flower, I know!" he yelled at her. Ino looked annoyed by this she and every villager, knew that Sasuke Uchiha, the village heartthrob does not love. It was impossible.

"Ok so you want me to believe that Sasuke got a flower for someone." She said to him. Bursting out laughing, holding her stomach at this." It's not funny!" he shouted.

Ino regain herself looking at him. "Naruto..Why would he-"I was with him, it was only three days ago. We were coming back from a mission in Sand village." He tried to regain his breath and cool, becoming serious. Serious is not something to take in Naruto, but seeing his face like this, made her cheeks heat up.

"We were coming back, and ended up camping out. Teme went out to get some firewood; I helped getting fish from the river. Then I noticed him looking at that flower, Ino you would believe me if I told you but he was smiling." He said to her.

This really caught her attention now. "What color was the flower naruto?" She said slowly to him. Naruto scratched his cheek remembering. "Red" he said, Ino eyes widen wide, then sound of Naruto shouting her name was heard over the shop. She fainted.

The next day, Both Ino and Naruto team up for an impossible mission…

Operation: Mrs. Uchiha in action
