Valentine's Day. The most hated/loved holiday in Konoha. Of course the ladies loved the holiday. The red and white, the cute couples, the chocolate, etc... Everything about the holiday was perfect. This year was no different. The most exciting event seemed to be the dance. The slow dancing, the cutest couple contest, the fun. Everything was just so perfect about the holiday.

Well, except for the couples. It's very nerve-wracking to be asked to go to the dance. But this was also an opportunity at it's finest. At least, that's what Sakura keeps blabbering about.

"I'm telling you guys, Sasuke will have to ask me for a dance when he sees my dress." Sakura exclaimed. She gave a dreamy sigh as she looked up at the roof. "I can just imagine the expression he'll have."

Ino snickered. "Please, I doubt he'll even come."

"He's obligated to." Tenten stated. "Everyone is forced to come until 3. The dance ends at 5 though."

Sakura scoffed. "What Tenten said. Sasuke will have to come. And he'll have no choice but to ask me for a dance."

Ino quirked a brow. She turned and faced Hinata. "What do you think Hinata?"

"M-Me? I d-don't know..." Hinata replied while fiddling with her thumbs and looking down at her lap.

"Hinata, don't be nervous. I'm sure Naruto will ask you to the dance." Tenten announced, causing Ino and Sakura to laugh. Hinata blushed and shook her head. "Well, at least for one dance for sure."

Ino rolled her eyes. "This is so stupid. Why are we talking about the dance? It's tomorrow anyway."

Sakura gasped. "It is not stupid! We have to discuss what we'll wear and everything!"

"Let me guess," Ino said while stretching. "You're all wearing red, aren't you?"

"Well, yeah. It's valentine's day." Tenten said with a roll of her eyes.

Ino smirked. "Just wanted to make sure."

Tenten was about to ask more when suddenly a hand plopped onto the table. The four girls looked up to see Neji looking down at Hinata with a serious face. "We've gotta go."

Hinata nodded and bid her farewells. The three girls waved her away while watching the two walk to their next class together.

"That Neji... He's so..." Sakura tried to look for the right word.

"Mysterious?" Ino suggested.

"Sure." Sakura shrugged. She immediately returned her attention to Ino. "So, do you think you'll get asked to the dance?"

Ino scrunched up her nose. "Hard to say."

"What do you mean?" Sakura asked. "It's easy. I think Sasuke will ask me."

Tenten scoffed. "Keep dreaming."

Sakura glared at Tenten while Ino snickered. Ino took a glance around the courtyard. Sasuke was leaning against a tree while Narute tried to annoy him in any way possible. Kiba was running around and rolling in the fields with Akamaru. Shikamaru laid on the hill with his eyes closed. Chouji sat next to him munching on a bag of chips. Shino was kneeled at a bench, possibly studying a bug. Gaara was standing in a sandbox with his arms crossed in front of him.

Ino sighed. None of them seemed interested whatsoever in her or any other thing related to girls. Except Naruto of course.

"Sakura! Hi!" Naruto shouted with a large wave.

Sakura turned her attention away from her argument with Tenten to look over at Naruto. She rolled her eyes. "Hi. Oh, hey Sasuke!"

"Hmph." Sasuke replied. Ino met his gaze and it felt like she was being electrocuted. He wouldn't look away, so Ino turned around in her seat so she could face Tenten and Sakura. Honestly speaking, Ino lost her feelings for him back when she was 14.

Naruto skipped over to the three girls with a wide grin plastered on his face. "Hi Tenten, hi Ino."

The two girls waved. Naruto looked over at Sakura. "Sakura, I was wondering if you'd like to go to the dance with me?"

"No." Sakura answered with a touch of annoyance.

"Come on! I'm not an all bad dancer. And I think we would be a good candidate for best couple!"

"I said no!" Sakura shouted.

Naruto flinched, and the two other girls watched as Naruto's shoulders began to sink and his smile was replaced by a frown. Ino glared at her friend. "That's harsh Sakura."

"When will you get it through your head Naruto? I don't like you. I like Sasuke!" Sakura continued.

"Sakura!" Tenten shouted, covering the pink haired girls' mouth.

Naruto gave Tenten a sad smile. "It's okay. There's always tomorrow."

"Naruto..." Ino mumbled as he turned his back and left the three girls. Ino decided to follow the blonde boy. "Naruto! Why do you keep doing this to yourself?"

"Huh?" Naruto seemed genuinely confused. "Because no matter how much she rejects, I still have hope."

Ino shook her head. "You're a hopeless romantic."

Naruto chuckled. "Yeah, I guess I am. Save me a dance?"

Ino smiled. "Of course!"

"Great!" Naruto grinned and waved goodbye as he turned around to run home. Ino watched him with a sad smile. Poor Naruto...

Suddenly something ran into Ino, knocking her down. Something wet picked her face and Ino shrieked with laughter.

"Akamaru!" Kiba called, grabbing the dog away from Ino. "Sorry Ino, he got a little excited when he saw you."

Ino smiled. "That's fine! I love playing with the big guy."

Ino reached out to pet Akamaru, which was very welcomed by the dog. Kiba chuckled.

"You going to the dance?" Kiba asked.

"Of course I am!" Ino plastered a fake shocked face. "I have my dress and everything. Now I just need a date."

Kiba grinned. "Mind going with-"

The warning bell cut him off. Ino gave Kiba a disappointed look. "Darn. Can we talk after school?"

Kiba gave a small smile. "Sure, of course."

Ino smiled and walked past Kiba. As she was walking, Sakura found her way next to Ino. "Oh. Em. Gee. What was that?"

"What?" Ino asked, genuinely confused. "Kiba and I were talking, but we were interrupted.

Sakura shook her head. "You're so dense. He was clearly asking you to the dance!"

Ino's jaw dropped in realization. "Thanks Sakura, now I feel guilty!"

Sakura held her hands up in defense. "I wasn't the one who shot him down and didn't realize it."

Ino shoved Sakura away as she entered her classroom. Her eyes caught Sasuke's once again. The same feeling electrocuted through her. She quickly looked down and found her seat.

AN: Hey :)

So this idea is so weird. I don't have a main plot for this just yet. It's just gonna be all fluffy and Ino-centric. So everyone will love Ino. But I have an important question;

WHO DO YOU WANT WITH INO?
