The Simplest Story Ever Told

By LB

Disclaimer: If we all owned Naruto, then would be really confusing. So I'll just leave it to Kishimoto-sama.

Warning: If you haven't realized already that this is a fic by moi, then obviously it's going to involve yaoi.

Summary: One boy is a seme. He has a crush on an uke. Any questions?

Pairing: KibaNaru, Fluff, Yaoi, all that good stuff.

A/N: I'm back kids! And this idea has been sitting on a piece of paper in my binder for far too long, I decided, so I'm going to type it and see if you like it. And please, feel free to critique my writing. It helps me improve for your reading pleasure. As long as you don't flame me, I'm happy. Read on!

Chapter One

"Prologue"

It was a hot summer afternoon that found the two kunoichi at the house, drinking tea and sharing stories of old times. They were both visibly retired ninja, their faces had seen many battles and hardships, and many changes and dramas that had deepened the creases on their skin. One kunoichi was sitting in a chair, staring out the window at the whiskered face on the Hokage monument-the Rokudaime.

"Hey Sakura-chan." One of the women piped up. The ninja who was staring out the window turned around quickly, rubbing the back of her neck and sticking out her tongue comically. Her blonde companion smiled, remembering how she used to do that all the time in her genin days.

"Sumimasen, Ino-chan. I was just…"

"Thinking?"

"Yeah."

"Let me guess, when we were kids?"

"How'd you know?"

Ino chuckled.

"You've been staring at Naruto-sama's face for about five minutes now."

Sakura blushed slightly, until she decided to change the subject.

"Hey Ino, do you remember that one time?"

Ino rolled her eyes.

"No, Sakura, I don't. Especially since there's been a lot of 'times' when we were alive."

Sakura smiled.

"No, I'm talking about the incident with Naruto-sama and Kiba-kun."

Ino's eyes lit up.

"OH! You mean that one time?"

"Exactly!"

"I think I was on a mission that one time."

"So you don't remember that one time?"

"Well, tell me how I could remember it if I wasn't there."

"Good point."

"Tell me the story, Sakura-chan."

"Um, I don't think I remember it that well."

Ino got up from her chair and knelt before Sakura, clasping her hands and giving her the age-old puppy dog eyes.

"Pleeeeaaaase?"

"Damn, how is it that that old trick still works today?"

"Yay!"

Sakura got up and paced around a bit, trying to organize her thoughts. After circling the room twice, uttering random syllables, she finally sat down, smiling.

"I've got it!"

"Now, let's see…I think it happened in spring…no, wait, it was winter. Yeah, Winter. And unless I'm mistaken, it was a year after Sasuke-kun left the village. Naruto was left very depressed, as you know, so he would usually sit on the top of the Hokage monument all day. Although, this particular day, he was too far up to hear the warning cries coming from the village. As it so happens, there was a terrible blizzard on it's way from the East, or as Shino predicted. His creepy bugs tipped him off, you know. And everyone started believing it when the Inuzuka's dogs started acting strange too…

LB: Sorry about the shortness, but well, it's only a prologue. I had to stop myself before I started getting into a full-length chapter. I promise you we'll get into the action next chapter! And it won't be told by Sakura, it'll be in third person. I just wanted to start like this, because, well, for some reason, I like stories that start with someone telling the tale. Ah, don't you just love non-fangirl Sakura and Ino? I do. It makes them seem…a whole lot less annoying. Anyways, review and critique, guys, and tell me if you like it so far! Ciao!
