Yo! I have actually no idea if you are reading this or not...but weirdly enough I don't really care. Well, I hope you do though...:p

Are you ready for some InoX~? :3

When I asked you, a lot of chapters back, what pairings you wanted, I got Ino together with two people...Do you want to know who I chose in the end?

Read and (maybe) find out! XD

W...O...W

Steps got heard down the stairs, a person with shining blue eyes and beautiful blonde hair popped her head through the door that led to the living room, "Mom, I'm leaving now."

As in cue her father popped his head out from the kitchen-door, in the same way as her. "Please tell me you're not wearing that." he plead.

Ino raised her brow, "please tell me? I'm wearing this whether you like it or not, dad."

She did a pirouette to prove her point, making the plain black dress of hers move a bit more up her thigh. It suited her body perfectly, and she wore blue earrings and necklace to make it more than perfect. And with high-heeled black shoes she knew she looked good.

"Not in my house," he said making her roll her eyes, "Dad, I'm over twenty. Besides, I'm not actually living here. I just sleep here because some idiot managed to destroy every fucking furniture and some of the walls in my apartment with an axe."

"I still can't believe you were together with him."

"I still can't believe you still think I'm a child!"

"Honey, let her go now. The party starts in less than an hour."

"Thanks mom, bye dad!"

Ino flew to the main-door, and she opened it just to see Sai's finger mere inches away from the doorbell.

He blinked, "Hi, Ino." He said before casually putting the hand down. The movement made her see he was wearing black pants and a nice, white shirt, making his pale skin not so pale anymore.

Now it was her turn to blink. "Hi, Sai."

The silence that passed was so 'loud' they could hear insects chirp somewhere.

"Um…why are you here?"

"I came here to be your date for tonight."

His answer was, as it always were, blunt. Ino made an 'oh' sound. Another silence passed.

"Ready to go?"

Ino opened her mouth to reply him, "you fucking bastard!"

Coming storming through the small gate forming the garden were none other than Kiba, his face was all red and his fist was raised to hit someone. His anger was directed to Sai and he would have hit him if it weren't for Ino stopping him.

"Kiba, what's wrong?"

"That fucking bastard," he growled, pointing an accusing finger at Sai, "he poisoned Akamaru's food!" It looked like he would hit him again, and yet again Ino stopped him with her hands.

"Kiba, calm down…tell me what happened."

"That bastard heard I was going to ask to be with you during the engagement-party, he wanted to be your date to so he made a beef by the ink of his and Akamaru ate it! He has a horrible stomach-ache thanks to you!"

Sai ducked a hit and Kiba's fist hit the doorbell.

"Honey, someone ringed!" Ino could hear her mother call from wherever she was, the daughter rolled her eyes yelling, "I've got it!" before slamming the door behind her. Now she tried to understand the situation. She had begun to breathe heavily she noticed and really hoped her cheeks weren't red.

She could see some blood come out from Kiba's fresh wounds.

"You idiot," she said while summoning chakra to heal them. Kiba remained quiet, sending a smug face towards the painter, who didn't look so happy.

"Now, Sai," Ino said, being done with the bruises, "…please tell me why you made Akamaru eat it."

"I want you to go out with me," he answered before adding, "beautiful."

The Yamanaka blushed, Kiba coughed loudly.

"You okay, dickie?" Sai asked, innocently…

"You little-!"

Just then her mother and father opened the door, seeing the strange sight of two young men with looks wanting to strangle each other while their daughter stood beside them, rose-cheeked and shaking her head.

"Ino…?" it sounded like they didn't really want to ask.

She jumped; Kiba and Sai broke apart their gaze within a breath.

"Y-yeah…?" She uncomfortably moved her legs a little, making the two friends of hers take further steps apart from each other, looking at her with worried glances.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I…I…" Ino looked up at the dark sky, wondering what to say, "I…I…"

"What are Kiba and Sai doing here?"

"Umm, they are…here because…"

"I'm here to be her date." Kiba and Sai both said at the same time, they glared at each other.

"Oh…" her mother and father looked at each other, to then point at the men, silently pointing out the person they wanted her to choose.

Ino inwardly groaned, "We're going now, bye!"

With no further said she took a good grip of each of the boys' elbow, dragging them away from her quite, in her oppinion, annoying parents.

She had not a single clue which of the boys to choose; she liked one of them as much as she liked the other one. She had known Kiba the longest, being a child-hood friend of his since she was very little. He was not good giving compliments to anyone other than his dog, while Sai easily could call her 'beautiful' as he did earlier tonight. She hadn't known him as much as Kiba and she had troubles, sometimes, knowing what he felt. He was very good at hiding his emotions.

She really hoped the upcoming future would help her in to make a decision…

The three companions walked through the many streets, the blonde always between them keeping them at bay. No one said anything, the mind-reader knew whatever she did would end in them fighting.

Then they heard it.

"KIIIBA!"

It came from the opposite side of the village, far away from them.

"Dang it..." the owner of the name muttered, he had recognized the voice and after thinking for a bit Ino knew who it was to.

"...freaking sister..." he mumbled, confirming her thought.

"..." they waited for something to happen.

"KIIIIBAA!" it came out louder than before, making said man cringe of the height of it.

"WHAT!?" he screamed back.

"GET YOUR SHITTY ASS HOME, YOU DORK!"

"DON'T CALL ME A DORK, I'M GOING TO THE-"

"HANA, KIBA, SHUT YOUR MOUTHS!"

". . .YES, hag..."

"I HEARD THAT!"

"Ooh, crap..." Ino didn't doubt his sister said the same. "KIBA, GET HERE IMMIDIATELY!"

"YEAH, DON'T LET ME FEEL THE WITCH'S WRATH ALL ALONE!"

"HANA INUZUKA!"

In the street on the total opposite direction, two young persons in their early twenties looked at the third. "...Kiba. I think you should leave and find out what it is about."

He sighed, not happy. "...fine. You should go ahead, I'll catch up with you easily." He glared at the guy, "..don't try something, you hear me? I'm keeping my eyes on you..."

The Inuzuka stomped away. The man and woman began to walk.

Ino sensed someone staring at her, "what is it, Sai?"

He shook his head but still replied, "...and you don't regret taking him with you?"

She blinked, "oh my, are you jealous?" she just couldn't believe it.

"...no..."

She raised her brow, "really?"

"..I'm not."

"Sai..?"

The painter thanked the night for hiding his cheeks new colors...

Hmm... I have to say I didn't originally plan this chapter to end this way. It was supposed to stop way before the last scene, but I wasn't happy with it and instead simply wrote more...

What do you think of the ending? Did you understand what Sai meant when he said "and you don't regret taking him with you?" ?

Is Kiba very OOC?

What about the chapter in general?

I will see you soon in the last chapter... O.0

Do you have any idea(s)/suggestion(s) for what to happen in it, in Naruto and Hinata's engagement-party? A sentence a character to say? For example: Sakura saying "biatch" to a certain someone... again, O.0

No more words needs to be said; XD
