Ino spent the rest of her weekend dwelling on everything she said. There were some regrets she had, but for the most part, she got her point across. She ignored the calls from everyone, and isolated herself for a little while. But now It's monday, which means back to school.

Ino stood in front of the main doors, giving a sigh. She was nervous beyond comprehension, but she can't hide forever.

"Ino!" Naruto called, waving at the girl, while racing his way to her. "Where have you been all weekend? No one could get a hold of you."

"Oh, I was just around... I just needed time to think." Ino replied with a smile. Naruto stared at her cluelessly before giving her his signature grin. Ino found she liked that grin, she'd like to see it more often. Wait... what? Ino shook out her thoughts.

"Well I was wondering if you wanted to get some ramen with me? My treat. I owe you one from the other day."

"Did someone say treat?" A husky voice asked, interrupting the two blondes. The voice belonged to none other than Kiba. The dog boy smirked at Naruto, playfully grabbing the blonde boy in a headlock while ruffling up his already messy hair. "If you're treating, count me in!"

"Hey, mutt, I'm only treating Ino. If you're coming, you better pay!" Naruto growled.

"What?!" Kiba let go, giving Naruto a shocked face. "You wanna battle on it?"

Ino laughed at the sight. Naruto and Kiba going after each other is not someth- wait, it is something you see everyday. But that doesn't make it any less amusing and enjoyable.

Kiba was so straight-forward, sometimes cocky, funny, caring, friendly, He really know how to bring the best out of you; just by being himself. But most importantly, he was comfortable in his own skin. And for a guy who hangs around a dog everyday for hours on end, he smelled really good. And he had a nice body- Shut up Ino! Ino once again shook her head at her strange thoughts.

But her mind didn't take her side today. Instead it went off to Naruto. Naruto is such a kind guy. No matter how much people hurt him, he makes sure to never hurt them back. He's extremely strong, mentally and physically. And like Kiba, he had a nice body and tan- Okay, stop it. Ino started making funny faces to stop the thoughts.

"Ino, w-what are you doing?" A voice startled Ino from her faces. She jumped at it, her face turning a crimson red. She sounded like Hinata when she opened her mouth.

"J-just trying to s-stop my thinking." Ino laughed nervously, scratching the back of her neck.

Hinata nodded as if she understood, although Ino could see the confusion and concern behind the nod. Thank goodness Kiba and Naruto were still playing around long enough to miss that embarrassing scene. Although one person saw it, and he walked past the group.

"What immature rats." Sasuke muttered while passing Kiba and Naruto. The two boys stopped fighting and turned to Sasuke.

"What did you say?" Kiba asked, anger boiling in him. "You wanna go at it, goth boy?"

Sasuke huffed. "I don't want to get charged for murder."

"Lucky for you, I'll be the one getting charged." Kiba retorted.

"You're a waste of breath." Sasuke turned away and left without another word.

"What was that?" Kiba asked after the raven haired boy left the scene. "Ino, I think what you said really got to him. It's like he's a totally new person. But not in a good way. He's attitude is worse than ever. I don't even know him anymore."

Ino stared after Sasuke's back. Kiba was right, no one really knew Sasuke. But from Ino thinks she knows, he's not cold-hearted. He's just been through too much, so he shut off his feelings. And he won't let people in because he doesn't want to hurt again.

Ino looked between Naruto's solemn face and Kiba's concerned one and her thoughts wandered to Sasuke. In the future, would she want to roll around in fields with Kiba and Akamaru, or be eating ramen with Naruto, or... It was too hard to think about what she could do with Sasuke.

Or maybe none. Maybe none of them like her, and she's being an idiot thinking about her future with 3 men who think of her as a close friend. Well, 2 men. Even if Sasuke is distant, there's that mysterious factor to him. And all the girls like him because they feel like they can be the one to open up his heart. And Ino was one of those girls.

On the other hand, Naruto has been trying to change him since forever. He won't quit. That's also something amazing of Naruto; he doesn't give up on the people he loves. (Except Sakura. He better give up on her.)

An arm placed itself on Ino's shoulder. Kiba pouted at Ino. "Ino, tell Naruto he has to take me too."

Naruto bumped Kiba away, taking his place. "Ino, tell Kiba I only invited you and I'm not made of money."

Ino smiled at Naruto. She turned her head to Kiba. "Sorry, Kiba. But Naruto is taking me on a date."

"What?!" Naruto and Kiba asked at the same time. Kiba glared at Naruto, and the blonde boy blushed heavily, staring at the ground.

"What," Ino got right in Naruto's line of vision. She raised a brow at the boy. "Are you just going to bail on me after asking me?"

Naruto shook his head, causing the blonde girl to smirk. "I thought so. See you after school for our... date."

Ino winked at Naruto and smirked at Kiba, taking Hinata's hand and skipping off.
