Naruto and Ino: Hidden Love, Hidden Feelings

I Won

After the intense kiss from Ino, he couldn't stop thinking of her, wanting to taste those luscious lips again.

"Damn her!" he screamed in his room. He paced back and forth trying to think of something to get rid of her from his mind, but nothing seemed to be working. So finally he gave up and lay on his bed. He closed his eyes to see her oceanic blue eyes with her soft colored skin, her long blonde hair, and those beautiful lips.. he opened his eyes immediately and shook the thought of her away.

"Stupid Ino…" he said in a low tone and rubbed his head. He has to stay away form her, or else he would probably give in. there has to be a way… a way for him to end up wining this useless game, this pathetic war of hers.

"Geez! It was just a stupid peck on the lips and she makes it seem like her whole reputation is on the line… damn girl…" he murmured under gritted teeth. He sat up and washed his face with cold water hoping it would help relax him. He looked into the mirror and smiled at himself.

Hm… I got an idea… he said to himself as his smile grew wider into a grin. He grabbed a towel and headed back into the bathroom to take a nice warm shower. He couldn't help smiling because he had thought up a plan to get her to kiss him so then he won.

"If you think you won Ino then you're wrong!" he exclaimed laughing to himself before walking into the steaming air.

The next day was cloudy as if it would rain any minute. She was in the flower shop sighing to herself.

"It's so freakin boring…" she said as she looked out of the window where the door was. She could tell that it was getting dark so early meaning rain could be coming any minute.

Damn… no customers and now… it's going to rain… she thought sighing once more. She headed to the back to where the pots and all were on the ground.

"Well… I guess I should put these things away…" she said bending down to pick some off the floor. She headed over to where the pots were to place the new ones next to them. She then heard the bell above the flower shop door ring.

"A CUSTOMER!" she screamed excitedly running over to the counter.

"Welcome to…" she begun to say but noticed Shikamaru standing there, "… oh…"

"Oh?" he asked with no expression of surprise.

"Hey Shikamaru, what's up?" she asked giving him a smile. He just watched her for a bit before he asked a question that was on his mind.

"Ino, I heard that you kissed Naruto…" he stated before lifting an eyebrow, "… did you?"

Ino just stared at him for a moment before laughing causing Shikamaru to sigh.

"You did," he answered his own question looking away from the blonde smiling at him.

"Don't worry Shika! It meant nothing anyways," she assured him patting his shoulder. He just took another glance at her before facing her.

He nodded and crossed his arms in front if his chest as he sighed once again.

"We have a misson in two days, so you should be prepared," he insisted knowing Ino whould take forever.

"Okay," Ino said smiling in reassurance, "… thanks for telling me before hand. Oh by the way..."

He waited interested in what she had to say. She leaned into his ears to whisper what her plans were with the blonde friend.

Naruto arrived at the flower shop when he noticed Ino leaning into Shikamaru, but what are they doing?

Is she… is she nibbling his ear lobe like she did to him? Is she playing a game with him too? Is there something else than friends between them…? Naruto couldn't help but envy Shikamaru… he was a genius and he was a true leader and he is so close to Ino… Naruto stopped himself and erased everything from his mind. Why in the world was he thinking of her? He has to get it together for his plan to work. He looked at them once more and noticed a smile upon Shikamaru's face. He then walked out saying farewell to his best friend. Naruto watched as Ino waved bye standing at the door.

For some reason, he felt angry, or was it jealousy…? He jumped down from the branch after Ino walked back into the store. This is it… he has to get it together and execute his plan. He walked into the store to see Ino's back.

"So you came…" she said softly before placing the trimmers down.

Does he think I'm stupid? I knew it was him! He let a bit of himself be sense…! She told herself smiling. He walked around the room a bit confused as to what he wanted to do. It seems like his plan to make Ino kiss him just flew out of the door once he entered her territory.

"Um…" he began to say looking around at the flowers.

So many flowers… pink, red, white… his eyes kept wondering around the room as she gazed at him.

"Naruto…" she said as she walked closer to him, "… why'd you come? Did you want to kiss me so soon?" she asked giving him a seductive smile.

He wanted to wipe the smile off her face and do so many things to her, but he mentally slapped himself for thinking of such things. He put on his 'A Game' face on and gave her a smile of his own.

"Maybe Ino, but I can tell that you want to kiss me," he said smirking at her slight blush upon her cheeks.

"Oh and how do you know that?" she asked trying not to lose her cool. He just kept smiling at her as she moved closer to him.

"Because I do…" he said giving off his usual grin that he is so famously known for. She couldn't help but smile before moving closer.

As she did so, she was only centemeters away from him, but then she felt a kick to her shin causing her to fall foward catching Naruto's lips and only to see Naruto's eyes. She couldn't speak because their lips were together and touching meaning… they were kissing.

She quickly pushed Naruto off her. Flames exposed it's self in her eyes as her hands begin to closed itself into a fist. Then she realized that she had won, so instead she gave off a happy smile.

"I won," she said smirking at Naruto who kept smiling.

"Nope, I did," he stated laughing at her confused expression.

Geez, these two... what can we do? LMAO!
