Wow. Within 30 minutes of posting my story, I had over 20 hits and a review! This is where I will discuss reviews if I have the time. This chapter may have been posted really closely (timewise) to the first, but high school is leaving me little time to update, and lots to think about. I'm sorry if updates are few and far between at times, but sometimes that just can't be helped.

Darkryus: Thanks for being my first reviewer! And yes, I am planning on updating soon.

Dark Gothic Lolita: Thanks, that was a major boost to my inner writer's esteem.

A/N: I got a puppy today. Soooo cute!

Disclaimer- I don't own Naruto. If I did, Kisame would wear nothing but a pink leotard. (Admit it, you secretly find that uber sexy!)

Currently, Naruto and Ino had a little break time, when Inoichi had to go and help out with an interrogation at ANBU headquarters. The greenhouse was up, filled with newly planted plants, and a state of the art watering system.

Ino, however, was deep in thought.

'Should we use a light pink and cream mix or a light shade of mahogany?' Ino wonders.

"Hey Ino, I have an idea. What do you think about baby blue?" Naruto calls.

"Let me see." Ino says, and starts taking inventory of all colors in the room. 'Well, it does match all of the furniture, countertops, and even the sign!'

"It's perfect, Naruto!" Ino squeals. She honestly had no idea how he has any sense of color picking. She put that information to the back of her mind.

"Really?" Naruto asks. "To be honest, I suggested that color 'cause I think that would bring out your eyes."

Ino instantly wore a "where the fuck did that come from?" face.

Naruto noticed this and added hastily, waving his hands. "Not that I don't think your eyes aren't pretty, it's just I thought-"

Ino was trying so hard not to giggle out loud, but Naruto seemed to take notice of this fact.

"What's so funny?" Asked Naruto.

"You are kinda cute when you're flustered!" Ino says, and then turns beet red and covers her mouth.

'Did I just say that?' thought Ino.

Naruto locked up, like a Neanderthal in an ice block.

The door opened up and Inoichi walked back in, and saw Naruto staring into space and his daughter red and covering her mouth. He instantly realized something awkward had just been said, and sloooowly went back out of where he came from.

The sound of the door closing snapped Naruto back into reality.

"Umm Ino, I have to go." Naruto says abruptly.

"Wh-" Ino begins to ask, but all she hears is the door shutting again.

'I wonder where he needs to be.' Ino thought. She then got her normal clothes back on along with her sandals and left in pursuit.

30 minutes later

Ino found him training with his Kage Bunshins on what appeared to be some odd style of taijutsu. She watched as he made seemingly random and sporadic twists in mid-flight, using his clones as a springboard for the next attack.

"Like what you see?" A voice says right behind her.

"HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!" Ino screams.

A sound of mad cackling fills the air around her. Eye twitching, she turns around to a laughing Naruto.

A shirtless laughing Naruto.

She didn't stand a chance. One quick glance at the chocolate-bar shaped abs, and blood flew out of her nose, propelling her backwards into a small stream.

Naruto, being the caring guy he is, followed her into the stream and pulled her out. When she looked back, she saw a shirtless and now wet Naruto, with his body glistening and golden hair dripping.

Ino once again shot off with concussive force with a massive nosebleed.

Naruto was bewildered why Ino kept getting nosebleeds. Then, he looked down. 'So what, I'm not wearing a shirt. Oh..'

Naruto mentally slapped himself.

Putting a shirt back on, he went to find Ino.

50 minutes later

When Ino came to, all she could think about was Naruto.

'Yummy!' Ino squealed in her mind. Then a feeling of horror fell over her.

'Do I like Naruto?' Ino thought suddenly. Sure, he was hot, but she inwardly snorted at the thought of dating him. Then, she remembered what he said at the shop about her eyes.

'Well, maybe I could give the guy a chance. He is a real charmer, even if he doesn't know it yet.' Ino thought. 'But I thought he liked Sakura?' Ino instantly banished the thought at the sight of a now covered Naruto approaching her.

"Hey Ino, you need some help cleaning up?" Naruto asks, with a shit-eating grin on his face.

Ino turned almost as red as the blood on her shirt from the sequence of nosebleeds.

Before she knew it, she was being carried towards the stream again, with Naruto. And one thing she noticed was how fast he was going. Trees went by like a blur. She had seen some of the ANBU that worked with her father, and they weren't even half as fast as this!

"How are you going this fast?" Ino asks.

"Easy, I pump chakra through my legs." Naruto explained.

Ino mentally facepalmed. Why hadn't she thought of that?

They arrived at the stream, where a trail of blood could be seen passing over the stream on both sides.

'Did I really lose that much blood?' Ino thought.

Ino was snapped back to reality with a yell and a giant SPLASH!

Coming back up to the surface, Ino glared at Naruto, who was standing on top of the water, completely dry.

Naruto smirked and offered her a hand to get up. That proved to be a bad idea when she yanked down on his hand, and swept out his legs from beneath him.

Once they both got back up to the surface, they both scowled at each other for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

'I haven't had this much fun in a long time!' Ino thought.

Then, she decided to turn this up a notch, buy getting her hand behind her, and pulled it forward as fast as she could with her arm underwater. The wave of water slammed down on Naruto, but he exploded in a poof of smoke, and she saw a shadow approaching from behind her. It was a giant wave! Ino shrieked and started swimming, and then realized she was being sucked up by the wave before it approached her, and then the water slammed down around her..?

"What the hell?" Ino wondered out lound.

"Wind manipulation, Ino." Naruto replied with a smirk behind her.

She turned around, but had to hold her nose to stop the nosebleed. He was shirtless, again!

"Put your shirt back on or I'll-"

"Do what, Ino?" A husky voice asked from behind her.

Ino turned around to see Naruto looking right into her eyes, with a cheshire grin on his face.

"Well, in your case…" Ino says grinning, and yanks his head down, joining his lips to hers.
