Day 3
The sun shined over her apartment and through to her room. Ino could feel the sun baking her body within the blankets of her bed. So with that she flung her blankets off her body to reveal a very sweaty body. Her tank top and shorts clung to her body from the sweat. She glared up at the ceiling; this was why she loved the fall. It was windy and less heat was circulating around. Sweat rolled down her forehead before dissolving into her hair. With a tired sigh, Ino got herself up from her bed and headed towards her bathroom.
"A nice ice cold shower will get me cooled off and wake me up." She mumbled to herself before opening the door to her bathroom. It was a fish theme. Being that fish covered the walls, her shower curtain, and the drawers to under her sink. The walls were also painted a light blue to match with the sea creatures that took over the bathroom. Ino looked at herself in the mirror before hastily running a brush through her long blond hair. She then turned on the shower before dropping her shorts and underwear along with throwing her tank top to the ground.
She entered the shower with a smile. The cold water felt great against her overheated body. Her hair cascaded down her back getting the nasty sweat out of her hair with the sweet cold water. Ino grabbed her shampoo and conditioner before rubbing them both into her hair. She scrubbed her hair before rinsing it out of her hair. She then got her sponge and rubbed the soap to it. Once suds were coming out of the sponge she rubbed it over her body.
Going over her shoulders, down her neck, around her breast, and down her stomach. Ino gently rubbed her long legs till she reached her toes. She moved the sponge to her back and scrubbed as much of her back as she could reach. She then quickly rinsed her body before turning off the shower head. Her towel was then wrapped around her body and another wrapped up in her hair. She cleaned her face then got dressed…
Ino stepped out of her room with dry blond hair up in a ponytail with her purple top, black shorts with her purple skirt over it and her fishnets on her elbows and knees. She smiled at her reflection before heading to the kitchen.
"Let's see, what to eat what to eat?" Ino looked through everything, trying to find anything that was edible. To her luck the cereal wasn't stale so she could eat that plus she had brought milk after visiting her mother's grave so that was her breakfast for the morning…
Sakura walked down the street. Lee had called everyone to a meeting. Well the ones who were in on the bet meaning no Neji, but no Ino either. Sakura wondered what her boyfriend was up too, but would only find out if she got there. The meeting was being held at their apartment. She wasn't so happy about that but knowing Lee called them here for something important, or at least he said so then she would allow it for now. Sakura opened the door to her apartment to see everyone there.
Temari was sitting on the couch with Shikamaru next to her. Naruto was leaning against the wall as Sasuke who came because he wanted too was sitting on the window sill. Tenten was on Kankuro's lap, surprise surprise there huh. Kankuro also was sitting next to Shikamaru. Shino, Kiba, and Hinata who was also here because she wanted too were standing around. Hinata was stuck between Naruto and Kiba who both looked contented with themselves, they should shouldn't they? Sakura then saw her boyfriend Lee leaning on the kitchen counter that was near the front door as the living room was.
"Okay Lee I'm here. What is all this about?" Sakura closed the door and leaned against it. Lee smiled to her then nodded.
"Yes, well this is about the little challenge Ino is doing. Do not any of you think it is wrong?" Sasuke grunted gaining everyone's attention.
"Ino's only living up to her reputation of using guys. She's just feeding the fire to the rumors about her." Lee nodded as everyone else. They all had heard rumors about Ino using a guy for this and that. Shikamaru frowned and shook his head.
"As you say Sasuke they are rumors, I know Ino longer than anyone and she is nothing like that." Sasuke smirked then.
"So you happen to know she's a virgin or not. I heard she isn't." Shikamaru glared at Sasuke ready to attack when he felt to it. Temari placed her hand on his shoulder before looking back to Sasuke with the same glare.
"So Sasuke are you a virgin? I heard you let a few girls in your pants." Temari said with a smirk when the sentence slapped his smirk right off his face. Shikamaru mirrored Temari's smirk with one of his own.
"Please everyone I just want to know if you think it is wrong." Lee interjected trying to gain their attention.
"Um…I believe it's wrong." Everyone looked over to Hinata who was between Naruto and Kiba. They both looked down at her.
"Yes Hinata go on." Lee urged her on. Hinata nodded with a smile.
"Well…I know Neji isn't the most e-easiest person to be around, but it's wrong to use him. Ino…she doesn't know what he has been through." Tenten looked down, she understood what Hinata meant. It would hurt Neji badly if he was used for some challenge and then dumped to the side.
"I agree with Hinata. I and Lee know it would kill him inside even if he doesn't show it, something like this could really hurt him." Kankuro rubbed Tenten on the back. She gave him a small smile.
"Okay what Ino is doing is wrong, but I am only going with it because of a theory of mine." Sakura said gaining everyone's attention. Sasuke raised an eyebrow.
"What would that be?" He asked the question that was playing in everyone's mind. Sakura nodded before going on.
"Well what I believe is this. Ino like most girls except Hinata fell for Sasuke for his handsome angry ways. So Neji is basically like that, if not more. I know one reason Ino chose him was because she wanted a challenge and Neji would be hard to…well you know get him into her bed." Lee raised an eyebrow.
"But what does this have to do with your theory Sakura?" She smiled.
"I'm getting to it Lee. Now I believe that the closer Ino gets to Neji the more…well she'll like him. The more they'll get to know each other. I know Ino and if she doesn't get him to like her before the 9th day she'll stop and we win. But if she did succeed, I don't think she would go through with it. She's not that cold hearted, and yes Sasuke she is still a virgin." Lee thought about it before a smile merried his lips.
"I see where you're going Sakura." Naruto looked confused.
"Really cause I don't." Everyone in the room sweat dropped hearing this. Shino who was almost invisible stepped in to speak.
"What she is saying Naruto is that if Ino falls for Neji she won't drop him like trash, and if she doesn't succeed in liking him but he likes her she'll lose the bet on purpose to protect him." Naruto thought about before nodding then smiled.
"Wow Ino's actually pretty nice to do that. Is that really what she's doing?" Kiba decided he would help his buddy out.
"No Naruto that's the theory. And I say we make a bet among ourselves." Everyone looked to Kiba who had his wolfish grin. Hinata blushed when she saw it. Lee frowned his brow creasing.
"What would that be Kiba?" He smirked.
"It's not that bad Lee jeez. I say we make a bet on Ino's decision. If she decides to go through with it or not?" Temari shook her head.
"No, that's basically what she kind of is doing. How about if she falls in love with him or not?" Kiba smiled even more.
"Better than my idea. What do you say guys, Lee?" Lee looked down, he hated bets. It was just gambling with money and a terrible habit to get into. Sakura placed her hand on his shoulder.
"How much do we bet Kiba?" Sakura asked looking over to the dog nin. He nodded thinking about it.
"How about 100 like for Ino's bet, but starting today and it goes up 10 till her birthday." Everyone thought about it before all nodding to the idea.
"So…Who is for what? Well go around and you all say if she will fall in love or not." Sasuke waited before calling out someone.
"Shino you go first." Shino rolled his eyes behind his sunglasses. He then thought about it before letting his answer go.
"She will fall in love. I have this feeling she will." Sasuke nodded. Sakura wrote down the votes. Kiba looked at everyone before shrugging.
"Hell I say she doesn't." Sakura wrote his name down before looking to Hinata. She blushed and fidgeted a little.
"Um…I think she'll fall in love. I know she'll like Neji…" Naruto smiled placing his hand on hers. He then looked to Sakura with a smile.
"Yeah, she'll fall for him." Naruto had a feeling too, that and he knew agreeing with Shino would gain him some big money. Lee shook his head to everyone.
"I will not take part in this bet. Sakura your decision is?" She smiled to Lee. It was something she loved about him. He could always resist what ever he wanted, but her.
"It was my theory, so yeah she will." Temari shook her head.
"I might not know Ino like you all, but I have a thought of how she is. So no I don't think she'll for in love, but I also don't think she'll go through with the bet." Shikamaru shook his head.
"She will fall for Neji." Sakura wrote down their names before stopping by Kankuro and Tenten. Kankuro raised his hands up like he was going to get arrested.
"Whatever Tenten chooses is my choice as well." Tenten smiled before thinking about it. She then nodded to herself.
"I do think she will for in love, but I don't think Neji will return her feelings. He already has a hard time letting people in; I don't think he will really let himself fall for her." Sakura wrote down their decision before Sasuke came into the light.
"Hn, you know me she won't fall in love and I think she will go through with it." Shikamaru glared at Sasuke but didn't say a word. Sakura looked down to her paper before everyone else.
"Okay its all set. I hope you all work hard for the next couple of days, cause if any of us looses not only do we either pay Ino or not, but the among ourselves too."
'I vote that Ino will gave up this game in love or not.' Lee thought as everyone got up to leave….
Ino raced to the training spot Neji was to be at. That is if he didn't change his damn spot again. Chakra pumped through her legs to her feet to help her move tree to tree. It was a lot quicker doing it this way than running. She looked up a head hoping to see Neji there. But as before he wasn't even there. Ino frowned angrily when she saw no one around.
"God damn it Hyuuga! Stop changing you're training spot." Ino then willed herself to stay calm. Maybe he took her advice and wasn't going to train today. She then shook her head, yeah right like he would. Ino then did her seals and dug them into the ground. She traced around, but couldn't find anything. Including that his chakra was being blocked as well.
"He's just making this so much harder isn't he?" Ino growled under her breath before thinking of another way to find him. She could always find Hinata and ask her to use her Byakugan to find him. She then decided against it, Hinata probably heard about her bet so she wouldn't be so happy about it at all. Ino thought about it, where could Neji be?
'Hm…what was it Kiba always said about Neji and his training? Something…what was it? Think Ino!' She thought about Kiba. He said one time he was walking Hinata home from their training, before they got involved. He told her about Neji training some where…
"Behind the Hyuuga compound in the woods! Thank you Kiba I could kiss you on the lips!" Ino then back tracked till she was out into the streets again. She jumped roof to roof now. She wanted to avoid the crowds and get there quickly. She never really had been there before too. Ino remembered going by the Hyuuga compound when training with her teammates, but they never actually went there neither had they ever been inside. She then pushed the thoughts away as she soon ran out of roofs to jump and continued with branches of trees.
Ino jumped through the leaves that were swaying to the wind. She jumped down from the tree she was in when the compound was up ahead. She preferred walking near there instead of looking like a spy. So she walked closer to the compound. The walls were very high keeping their privacy…well private that was for sure. Ino whistled to herself to get the uneasy feeling curling around her stomach to go away. She glanced at the entrance to the gate. It didn't look so welcoming like she would have thought, then again from what she heard about the Hyuuga's she should have known it wouldn't.
Ino walked past it and moved further into the woods, now if Kiba was right then if she walked further into the woods in the outback of the compound then she should hopefully come upon Neji.
"Will you please leave you're trespassing Yamanaka." Or maybe he'll find you. Ino turned around to see Neji glaring at her. His arms were crossed with his brows creased into the glare he was presenting her with. Ino rolled her eyes before placing her hands on her hips.
"Well Neji I did say I was going to see you today, so you shouldn't act so surprised." Neji rolled his eyes at that.
"I'm not. Now leave before I force you too." Ino raised an eyebrow. Oh another challenge she was ready for this. Neji didn't like that look on her face, or the smirk that was flittering to her lips.
"And what if I don't leave Neji?" He then copied her smirk with one of his own.
"Well Miss Yamanaka I'll just have you kicked off the property considering you are trespassing and aren't welcomed either." Ino frowned seeing that he had some good points. She thought about what she could do to make him let her stay. She needed to get to know him; he money is on the line here! It then clicked into her mind. What does he do all the time, train!
"I came because I want to train with you Neji." Ino then said waiting for his answer. She almost slapped him when she heard a chuckle come from his throat. His smirk was still there with amusement within his lavender eyes. He then shook his head laughing off handedly.
"Really now? You want to train with me? You wouldn't stand a chance against me, you probably can't stand against for more 5 minutes." Ino glared at him her hands forming fists. Oh that arrogant, jackass! He thinks he is so good and smart!
"Yeah well I bet I can!" Neji raised an eyebrow the amusement dancing within his eyes still. It egged her on.
"I bet I can and if I do last 5 minutes then you have to let me train with you everyday!" Neji cocked his head to the side in thought. Though she was pissed Ino couldn't help but think the way he looked was cute. His hair falling to the side with a slight smirk playing on his face.
"Fine, and if you lose then you will leave me alone. Got it?" Ino nodded before sticking her hand out. Neji looked at it before glaring, he then sighed before gripping her hand with a stiff shake. Ino with held the pained look in her eyes when he squeezed her hand a little too hard. 'Oh boy…I'm in even deeper shit now! Me and my stupid mouth!'…
And then the third bet of this story was started. Will Ino last 5 minutes with Neji? Will he get his peace from this crazy blond who keeps finding him no matter where he goes? Well you'll just have to see next time…thank you all and please review…show some love for me with reviewing…
I'm out…
