Well, here's a really short one-shot about SasuIno! It also gives my opinion about the other Naruto couples...

Enjoy!


Ino was humming quietly to herself when her pink-haired friend/rival opened the door and let herself in, ignoring the 'closed' sign.

"Hi!" Sakura greeted, sitting on the counter where Ino was rearranging a vase of pink and white roses.

"Hi forehead! What can I do for you?" Ino asked, looking up and smiling.

Sakura sighed and leaned towards her friend. "As you very well may know, the winter festival is coming up."

"Yes..."

"And you are going to the festival with Sasuke."

"Yes..."

"Then why, despite the fact that there are MILLIONS of SasuSaku fans out there, are you going with him?" Sakura asked, looking a little bit pissed off at the blonde's calm reaction.

"Well, you see," Ino started. "If you have been following the manga and anime episodes, it'd quite clear that ShikaTema will happed, thus leaving ShikaIno OUT. As for KibaIno, since NaruSaku is what is obviously going to happen," she ignored the pinkette's scowl, "Hinata's chances with Naruto are nil, so her second choice is our dear friend Kiba. Sai and I are never going to be together because the only actual scene we have together that suggests something beyond mere friendship is when he calls me 'gorgeous', but after that we have no more interaction. This leaves me and Sasuke single. Understand?"

"But..." Sakura frowned. "What about Karin? She has to count for something!"

"There is A LOT of Suigetsu x Karin love out there. And Sasuke never does show any interest in Karin."

"But why YOU?"

"Because," Ino huffed impatiently. "I'm one of the main characters of the series, and I need someone to be paired off with. Sasuke is also a main character, so who's better than him?"

"Oh... I GET IT!" Sakura squealed. Then she frowned again. "But..."

"Yes...?"

"What about Chouji?"

Ino gagged. "ChoIno? Are you kidding me? ChoIno... bah!"

Sakura folded her arms across her chest. "That wasn't a very good explanation, Ino-chan!"

Ino balled up her fists and yelled, "SASUKE AND I ARE MEANT TO BE BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS WIN, FOREHEAD! YOU ALWAYS, ALWAYS WIN! IT'S MY TURN NOW!"

Sakura sweatdropped and left the store with a ranting Ino still in it.

"NaruSaku..." she mumbled. "It even sounds good!"
