Disclaimer - I do not own Naruto at all. If I did, dude, Sasuke and Ino would soooooooooo end up together. lol. Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto. This ish a fan-made story :D
Summary - What happens when Ino finds her former best friend smacking lips with her boyfriend? How about her other best friend leaving for France? Can Ino Yamanaka get her payback? Or will she get caught up and fall in love again with someone else?
Rated T for some language xD Who knows how long this will be ^-^ I guess it will depend on the feedback o.o xD Sooo REVIEW :D After you read of course ._.
And also sorry for any spelling/grammar mistakes =.=''
Anyway. ON WITH THE STORY
Last Time
The girl nodded, before turning her back to the class, taking off her hoodie, revealing long, platinum blonde hair. She had a slender body, nicely developed so well that it turned a few heads in the room. She turned around, scanning her sky blue eyes around the classroom till it stopped at the group of her old friends, and one new student there. 'His hair looks like a chicken's ass…' But next to the raven-haired boy was no one else but Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno. Naruto's eyes met hers for a moment, and at that exact moment, he could feel the tension her gaze was holding. Her gaze hardened for a bit before she put on a smile for the class.
"Hi everyone! Like Gaara said, we went overseas to L'Ecole D'Arts to study. I was there to study in being a singer and dancer. My name is…Ino Yamanaka. Please take care of us this school year!"
Sakura grew wide-eyed as she swung her head back to the front of the classroom. It was like déjà vu. "Ino…"

Chapter Two : Chicken-Ass Shaped Hair Guy
Everyone replied with a "Welcome back you two!" or "Oh my god's" as they saw it was Ino under the heavy clothing. The blonde hooked her arm with Gaara and smiled brightly, showing their closeness, which, to his dismay, Naruto grew jealous of. Sakura just kept staring, fearing that if she blinked, Ino would disappear again.
Kakashi clapped his hands, getting everyone's attentions. "Well, Gaara, Ino, Welcome back. If you don't mind, I'm sure the rest of your class would love to know what you two have learned while being in France and at the prestigious L'Ecole D'Arts, am I right, everyone?"
Most of the girls squealed a "Yes!" with the guys hollering "Oh yeah! Gaara, dude! Teach us some stuff you learned!" and other comments. Ino and Gaara looked at each other, Ino blinking a bit.
"Uh…What do you exactly want us to do?" Ino asked, looking at her classmates. "Gaara doesn't have any instrument to play. We sort of lost our luggage, so that's why I haven't been able to change and why we can't go practice later—"
Suddenly a spunky blonde girl with deep green eyes busted in, earned the attention from everyone. "AH! Mother shiz niz! That freakin' hurt!"
Kakashi coughed, interrupting the blonde girl's rant.
She stared back at everyone, blushing a bit. "Uh…this isn't the music room…is it…Eheh…My bad—Ah! But Gaara! You're here! Oh and Ino! HA! I TOLD YOU TWO YOU WOULD BE IN THE SAME HOMEROOM!"
Gaara sighed. How could his sister be so…like that? Ino giggled at Gaara's expression. "Ah, well I guess that's fate. We now have Gaara's guitar! So now, Gaara, Temari, and I will give you a special performance.
"Eh?" Temari exclaimed. "Why me?"
Ino looked at her, smiling innocently, yet with a devilish glare. "Because. I. Said. So." The devious look in her sky blue eyes faded off before anyone else could see, but her smile grew a bit more. "Besides, you have your bass with you too. Come on."
Temari eyes widened for a second and then she laughed nervously, scratching her cheek with her index finger. "A-Ah…Well…in that case…"
Sakura saw it all. So did Naruto. The pink-haired girl and blond boy both saw how much Ino had changed. The way her body was proportioned, how much longer and silky looking her hair was, the authority in her voice, her poise, her posture. A lot has changed about her, except the gleam in her eyes. They were still sparkling, yet hypnotizing.
The two teens started preparing for the performance as they tuned the guitar and bass up and checked that everything was good.
Ino smiled, turning to her class after finishing helping Gaara with his tuning. "Okay everyone, as you already know, I am Ino Yamanaka, that's Gaara Sabaku on the guitar, and that is his sister, Temari Sabaku on the bass. We'll be performing for you a song I write back during my first year or two in France. It's called "Myself". "I hope you enjoy it!"
Temari and Gaara started playing, as Ino stood, breathing until she started.
doushite doushite suki nan darou
konna ni namida afureteru
[Why, oh why do I love you so much?
My tears overflow this much]
ano koro ha ushinau mono ga oosukite nani mo utaenakatta
sukoshi hanareta basho soko ga watashi no ibasho datta
[Back in that time, there was so much to lose that I couldn't sing
anything
A place just a little ways away--That was where I was]
kimi no hitomi no oku ni ano hi samishisa wo mitsuketa
futari niteru no kana?
kitsukeba itsu mo tonari ni ite kureta
[That day, deep in your eyes, I saw the loneliness
Are the two of us really alike?
If I'd realized it, you were always by my side]
doushite konna ni suki nan darou
kimi no koe kanshii hodo hibiiteru yo
ima made nani ga sasae datta ka

[Why do I love you so much?
Your voice rings inside me so much it makes me sad
Just what it was that supported me so much
From afar, I realize it now]
nakinagara sagashi tsuduketa maigo no kodomo no you ni
kedo soko ni ha eien nante aru wake nakute
[Like a lost child, crying and searching
But there was no such thing as forever]
"dare ni mo shinjinakereba iin da yo" tsubuyaita ne
futari niteru no kana?

["It's okay if you don't believe in anyone" you whispered
Were the two of us really alike?
And I decided then I would protect you]
doushite konna ni suki nan darou
toosugite chikasugite todokanai yo
"wasureyou" tte omoeba omou hodo
kimi ga ookiku natteku yo
[Why can't I turn them to memories
You're too far, too near for me to reach
The more I tell myself "I will forget"
The larger you loom in my thoughts]
doushite konna ni suki nan darou
kimi no koe kanshii hodo hibiiteru yo
ima made nani ga sasae datta ka
tooku hanarete wakatta yo
[Why do I love you so much?
Your voice rings (inside me) so much it makes me sad
Just what it was that supported me so much
I realize it now from afar]
doushite konna ni suki nan darou
kantan sugite kotae ni naranai
[Why do I love you so much?
It's so easy I just can't answer]
Ino sighed softly, closing her eyes, as the sounds of the bass and guitar slowly fade off.
The entire classed erupted into a roar of clapping and cheering.
"Damn Ino! You're such a hot singer!" Kiba hollered.
Hinata and TenTen were squealing like crazy. "Ah! Ino, you were so great!"
"Gaara! You looked so cool!" "Dude. That was so sweet." Came other replies.
Even Shikamaru had stood up, clapping for his long-time girlfriend. Temari spotted him and smiled, waving at him. "HEY SHIKAMARU! I MISSED YA!"
Everyone laughed at a now-blushing Shikamaru who was mumbling something about a "troublesome woman." But he smiled, clapping still. Kakashi, Neji, and Sasuke were clapping as well, looking very impressed. The only two who were trapped in a daze were Naruto and Sakura.
"Ino…You've changed so much…I never would've thought you would come back this year. Or even be in my class this year…My god…Ino…I've missed you so much." Sakura thought. Tears were on the brims on Sakura's eyes, but they never overflowed. It wasn't good for her image to be crying in public.
"Ino Yamanaka. What in God's name made all this shit happen…" Ino grabbed Temari's hand after she had enough of the spotlight, and let everyone clapped for her; and after Temari, Ino brought up Gaara, and did the same for him. To everyone's surprise, except Gaara and Temari for some reason, Ino kissed Gaara's cheek, causing everyone to gape at them. Naruto's thoughts went wild as the class erupted into another round of applause and "Aw's" and "Ooh's." "What the hell was that?! Ino Yamanaka! I am your boyfri—…No…I'm not anymore. I blew it four years ago…But damn it! If she knew the real thing that happened, she would still be my girlfriend right now. I'm going to talk to her right now."
Naruto stood up, making his chair have squeaky noises, catching everyone's attention. "I have something to say!" He definitely had everyone's attention now, and of course everyone pretty much knew about what had happened four years ago. Naruto was a dumbass, Sakura acted like a slut for kissing someone else's boyfriend, and Ino was the innocent runaway. Of course there were many variations, like Naruto and Sakura had been going out way before he and Ino every hooked up, and he was just using her for a fun ride, or that Sakura and Ino had a big fight, and so Sakura got back at her for making out with Naruto, or the one that everyone just went with. Ino and Naruto broke up four years ago. She moved away, and Naruto and Sakura just started dating. End of story.
Naruto stared at Ino. Ino, Gaara, and Temari stared back at him, along with most of the class. Sakura sat in her chair; completely taken off guard that Naruto would do something so irrational. She knew it in the pit of her stomach that he still loved Ino. At that moment, the memory from four years ago came into mind.
Sakura sighed deeply as she kept thinking. She was leaning against the wall of the school, waiting for Ino to hurry her ass up so they could go to the Pavilion for the after-party. Eighth grade year ended so quickly. "Eh…High school is going to be up next. I wonder what it'll be like. I want to change into someone better. Like Ino…She's pretty, even without make-up, she's popular, her parents are great entrepreneurs and yet she can be so humble and frugal with her money, a great singer and dancer, and she's even great around guys, I mean she has Naruto."
'WHY CAN'T I HAVE THOSE THINGS?!' Her inner self screamed. Well she did have those things. With Ino's help at least. Ino helped all the bullies when they were younger, and helped Sakura be comfortable with herself. Ino helped Sakura become pretty. Ino made Sakura her friend, earning Sakura some popularity, of course. Though Sakura was always frugal with her money because her parents didn't have that much at all. Sakura got into the school by scholarship, and that's how it always been. Every school wants a brainiac to up their school's standards or whatever they're staying these days. Really, it's because of Ino and her father who's helped out her family in times of financial trouble. Sakura could dance and sing too, just not as good as the platinum blonde.
Ino's also the one to help the pinkette get friends, guy friends, but Sakura still wanted one thing. She wanted Naruto, but she's completely loyal to her friend.
"Naruto…" She softly said.
"Yo." Sakura made a 180-turn and came face to face with a blond boy. "Did ya call me?"
"N-Naruto." Naruto chuckled a bit, ruffling her hair. "Aw, was Sakura-chan just day-dreaming of me? I'm sorry! But I already have someone else! Unless you wanted to have a fun time with me…" A stupid grin passed his face, his teasing grin. Naruto always teased Sakura, and Sakura knew he was only kidding. But what she didn't know was the edge of the sidewalk, and how if you didn't know it was there, you would trip and fall against the wall.
Of Sakura tripped, but in front of her was Naruto. Everything was moving in slow-motion. Naruto had lowered his body a bit to catch Sakura before she had touched the ground, but he was slammed against the wall along with Sakura, their lips meeting.
Sakura blushed a bit, but kept the kiss going. She heard Naruto's phone vibrating in his pocket, but she never broke the kiss.
They stayed in that position, till they heard something drop to the ground.
Sakura quickly unlocked her lips and turn around to be met face-to-face with her best friend.
"Ino…" She breathed out, needing the air.
Her green orbs stared at Ino's sky blue ones. Tears were beginning to form.
Naruto smiled a goofy grin at the pinkette, ready to throw another tease at her again, but before he could say anything, he saw Sakura staring at something. Or someone…
He slowly turned his head, and for a second, he couldn't breathe. After a few moments of staring, he finally was able to speak again. "Ino…Let me explain. It's not what it looks like…"
The blonde girl shook her head. "I-It's not what it looks like?! How can it not look like this? You're kissing my best friend! Y-You idiot! How could you do this to me!?" She screamed at the blonde boy and pinkette.
'I never seen her like this…She's always so happy…" Sakura thought. That was when it happened. Tears welled up in Ino's eyes and she kept crying. She felt the blond boy move from in front of her towards the platinum blonde girl. Shoes were thrown at Naruto, and that was their last meeting with the sky-blue eyed girl.
'Ino…'
Naruto took in a breath. Ino crossed her arms waiting for the blond boy to speak.
"Ino Yamanaka, I—"
Ring. Ring. Ring.
First period was over. Chatter erupted from the class cutting Naruto off. Ino rolled her eyes and grabbed Gaara's arm and pulled him out of the classroom, heading for the Courtyard for break time.
Naruto sighed, falling into his seat. "Damn it." He cursed under his breath. Sakura touched his arm lightly, earning a small smile from the blond.
"Don't worry Naruto…We can talk to her soon. Come on, let's go find her right now. It's break time anyway."
Naruto nodded, Sakura encircling her arms around Naruto's arm walking along with him out of the classroom.
Neji and Sasuke got up, hands in their pockets, watching Naruto and Sakura stroll out of the room.
Neji sighed, shaking his head. He was the only one who knew the truth behind everything. Naruto stupidly gotten drunk by breaking into his dad's mini bar, and Neji caught him walking around the streets near his place. Naruto spilled the beans that night about everything that happened. "It's going to happen now. A big fight…"
Sasuke cocked his head to look at Neji, "What do you mean? Do those three already know each other?"
Neji shot a look back at the raven-haired boy. "Oh yeah, you weren't here for middle school, huh?"
Sasuke shook his head, "Nope. Got here freshmen year of high school. So what's the deal with those three?"
Neji started walking up towards the front of the classroom and towards the door, Sasuke following closely behind. "The two blonds dated back in junior high. But then something happened, she moved. You've heard the stories remember? Ino Yamanaka?" Neji questioned.
Sasuke blinked, looking at the big crowd gathered in the courtyard. "That's the Ino Yamanaka you guys were talking about?"
Neji nodded. "Mhm."
Meanwhile…With The Crowd
Temari, Ino, and Gaara sat smiling, laughing while sitting in the middle of the courtyard, telling their stories to all their old friends gathered there. Hinata, Kiba, Shikamaru, Chouji, TenTen, Lee, and Shino.
Temari laughed loudly, still telling her story. "…Oh yeah! And then that's when these two kids right here got caught alone in the music hall by some of the other contestants, so they pretended they were two other students having a good time while they were actually they were just practicing for the big concert. They are sooooo lucky that the other people were perverted and gave them their privacy while they made their moaning sounds." Temari joked, pointing at Ino and Gaara, laughing again.
Ino giggling, both her and Gaara blushing lightly; Ino retorted, "Hey hey now! It was for a good cause! We did win the best duet for the concert! But unlike us, I wasn't caught out late, past curfew just so she could get on the roof of the Academy to call a certain…Shikamaru Nara!" Ino began to laugh, as did everyone else besides Temari and Shikamaru. Both were blushing madly.
Naruto and Sakura, walked up towards the crowd, arms linked. Ino caught sight of them and her smile disappeared from her face, a frown replacing it. She groaned, and Gaara looked over to her direction and saw the blond boy and pinkette.
Naruto and Sakura stood there, a good distance away, Sasuke and Neji had caught up with them as Ino stood up and walked over to face them. Everyone behind her watched intently at what was about to happen. They all knew the stories, but they didn't know what really happened.
Sasuke fixed his eyes on the scene, thinking about what Neji had said. 'So this is Ino Yamanaka they all talked about before, huh?' Sasuke flinched as he saw Ino slap both Naruto and Sakura on their cheeks.
Everyone gasped at the scene.
'Oh god…Not the jerk again...' Temari screamed in her head, getting up to stand next to Ino.
"Ino…Don't do this here…" Temari warned. Ino shot her a glance that made even Temari flinch. 'Damn…This jerk definitely changed Ino's attitude.' "Okay, okay. I get it. But I have the authority to take you back if you do anything too bad, 'kay?"
Ino nodded, turning her eyes back to the blonde and pinkette. They both had their hands on their throbbing cheeks, tears brimming their eyes.
Sakura turned to face Ino, her hand still on her cheek. "Ino…I-I—"
"SHUT UP! I don't want to hear it Sakura!" Ino scolded, her arm raised and ready again to attack. But before she could slap again, Sasuke suddenly caught her wrist, catching Ino off guard.
"Hey now. Students shouldn't be fighting during school hours, okay, Miss Ino Yamanaka?" Sasuke smirked slightly, still holding Ino's wrist in his hand.
Ino blushed for a second, feeling the electrifying feeling as the raven-haired boy touched her. 'What the hell was that?'
Gaining her composure again, the small blush disappearing before anyone could see. Thanks to the timing again, the bell sounded, making it time for second period. Ino sighed, cocking her head towards Naruto and Sakura. "You're lucky Mr. Chicken-Ass Shaped Hair Guy saved you."
Sasuke's eyebrow twitched hearing the new nickname. His eyes suddenly getting caught by Ino's stare. "Look here, Chicken-Ass Shaped Hair G—"
"The name is Sasuke. Sasuke Uchiha."
Ino rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Don't get in my way again. Bye Chicken-Ass Shaped Hair Guy." Ino smirked, knowing he would be annoyed with the name, and unlatched her wrist from his grip and grabbed Temari's wrist along with Gaara's arm and started walking away.
Sasuke's eyebrow twitched again, sighing with the new nickname, knowing he wouldn't be getting rid of it so soon.
Naruto erupted into a bit of laughter, so different from his previous depression and pointed a finger at Sasuke. "She's so right! Your hair does look like a chicken's ass!"
Sasuke shot a glare at Naruto, making him shut up.
"Just shut up dobe. I wasn't the one who got slapped by a girl."
Dang. x.x''' I dunno if that sucked at all but yeah. Ahah. A case of writer's block, and then today with the not-able-to-sleep disease came up and so I just wrote. Or typed...Haha. So yeah.
