Hey everyone. Here's chapter three. Im doing my best to keep it coming. :) I hope all my past readers are still reading and liking. Anyway. ENJOY. :)


"Stupid boys coming over so early in the morning!!" Ino said as she mumbled angrily to herself, she was rearranging (more like messing up) her drawers. She was digging through to find some form of casual, light house wear other than her PJ's. "This SO is not in my good side."

When Ino found something she like she dropped the clothes on her bed then stomped to her desk. She sat down then pulled her drawer open. She took out a sheet of paper and started to mark it. In the paper, on bold red lettering it wrote 'BAD' and it had all the names of the boys listed on it. When she took out the paper from her drawer, another piece of paper exactly the same but instead the lettering said 'GOOD'

Kiba- I
Gaara- I
Neji- I
Sasuke- I
Shikamaru- I

So she kept track of the good and bad impressions the guys had on her, it was okay. It was a 'competition' after all…

Then she slipped the paper back in her desk drawer and shoved it close after angrily scribbling on the once clean sheet. Ino then stood up and grabbed the clothes she chose to wear. It wasn't what you'd call the usual Ino style but it was hella casual.

She chose beige colored cargo pants, a white short sleeved shirt with a hood that had a pretty low v-cut and a tank top under that. She also slipped on a pair of white sneakers. She looked at herself in the mirror and thought she looked really laid-back, she tied her hair up into a messy ponytail, grabbed a thick blue bangle and ran downstairs.

When Ino went upstairs…

"Well, that was quite awkward." Kiba had the guts to say. Inoichi put on a stiff smile.

"As long as you're not thinking about her in a disrespectful way…" Inoichi started to say trailing off—sounding a little over protective, then the boys started waving their hands frantically. "no, no, no…" they all started explaining to him.

"No way!"

"Never…!"

"Of course, not!"

Assuring words from her soon to be boyfriends. Inoichi nodded in approval. The boys shot him a smile.

Then an awkward silence. Inoichi let out a sigh, "I don't want you boys to feel uncomfortable around me." He stated. The boys all looked at him. "I know now that Ino can make decisions on her own, and it was her own decision for me to be part of this…I only want the best for her…and for five of you to do this…" he trailed off.

The boys chuckled, "wow, you must really like her then." He finished. The boys all gave him a smile, they weren't so uncomfortable now. They were able to breathe better. Inoichi got through to their tight situation.

"And, I applaud you for being able to put up with her." He acknowledged. The guys started to chuckle. "Ino can be a handful sometimes."

The 5 of them nodded. "Especially you, Sasuke. For being the longest with her…" he noted the Uchiha. Sasuke gave the hopefully future father in law to be a gratifying smile. Inoichi returned it. "So boys, don't try any funny stuff with me. I know that there'll be some flops with this plan of hers but I pondered over it and it will be a good way to get to know you boys a bit better…" Inoichi told them.

"And to see who's really right for my princess…" he said to them in a stern voice.

They all nodded, now a bit intimidated.

Then they heard a faint sound of footsteps going down the stairs. It would be the princess herself.

"Hey guys!" Ino greeted them cheerfully, "So…what have ya'll been saying about me?" Ino asked in a mock demanding tone. The men inside the Yamanaka house all just shot her a big nice, white, toothy grin. Plus fangs for Kiba…

She walked towards her living room looking at the group, "you better not have been talking smack about me…" She said eyeing all her ex-boyfriends. Inoichi didn't mind, that's how he knew his teenage daughter talked. It was her slang. She didn't mean disrespect, really. Although to other adults that would have been pretty impolite.
