A/N – Did you know that I've been named an asshat by one of my fans. LMFAO! And it's because of a cliffhanger!

THAT IS THE MOST HILARIOUS-

DISCLAIMER – I do not own Naruto

The most… interesting thing about me and Ino talking again was the fact that nothing changed at all. After that night of drinking, we started working out together again, drinking on Fridays if we were free, and just enjoying our mornings.

I don't know how else to put this… but it was also confusing at times.

There were times where we honestly enjoyed the others company and others where it was like I stepped on a single nerve Ino preserved for not stepping on; Half the time I didn't know I was stepping on it, so half the time I couldn't tell what exactly I said to get her so on edge.

One moment we are laughing.

The next moment she is storming off and mumbling something about how she will be right back.

What the hell was I doing wrong?

Besides Ino being fun to be around but confusing, Tenten seemed to be getting better with each date. I found out she wanted to travel Europe too, backpack and all. We spent hours on and after our date simply talking about life and anything we could think about. Sometimes we didn't go out at all, just played video games at her place. And while half the times I laughed hardest with Ino, the other half of the times I laughed hardest was with Tenten.

She was just an amazing all around girl. Her passion was knives, which convinced me that one wrong move would cost me my head. I can't tell you how many times she pulled one out just to flip me the fuck out. Every bet we had was set on darts, so obviously every bet I lost.

But when Friday rolled around and Ino was with Kiba, and I with Tenten, I made a huge mistake.

I didn't notice, but Ino had been brought up in a lot of my conversations with Tenten. No I didn't get my fingers chopped for it, even though I wished I had. As soon as Tenten noticed the connection with me and spilling so much about Ino, a bet was placed. If she won a dart game, she got to meet this mystery girl.

If she lost, it'd never be brought up again.

"Aw jeez," I panicked as Tenten picked up her darts. Funny thing is she had a play set in her very apartment, which means there was no way in hell I was winning way back then on our first date, "Do you honestly want to meet her?"

"Well she sounds really nice to be around, so why not?" Tenten replied as she walked back to the line tapped across her carpet. I watched her get in her stance nervously, not knowing what to say.

Her first dart hit in the middle. Wracking my brain, I stuttered out, "Well I mean she is, but she's probably completely swamped."

"When?" she teased as she threw her second dart, landing in the middle also. With a smirk, she continued while looking at me, "All the time?"

I blinked. She threw her third while forcing me to squirm as she stared right into my eyes.

Smack dab in the middle.

"Oh come on!" I complained as she laughed in my face. I pointed at the dart board, "I mean, you made that one without even looking!"

Tenten only shrugged as she walked slowly towards the board, picking off the darts before walking back to me. She placed them in my hand while giving me a smooth smile, "Try not to hit the wall, alright?"

After all three of my darts missed the middle- one indeed hit the wall- Tenten walked over, kissed my cheek, and murmured to me quietly in my ear, "I'm going to enjoy meeting this Ino character. If you didn't win to stop me, obviously you are excited about me meeting her too."

I blinked, because that kiss was our first one, and because I just signed myself a death note. I stumbled out jumbled words as she slid her finger across my back while she passed me. It didn't matter that what I had just said didn't make any type of sense, because she wasn't paying attention to me anyway. Instead, she had gotten her beer and took a sip while throwing me another smile, "So, ready to get your ass whopped in Call of Duty? Or should we turn it down a notch."

I opened my mouth, wanting to press the current issue further. But, just like a brick wall, it hit me that I wasn't going to win. Then, it hit me again that Tenten wasn't the type of girl I could win with. I could see my future now, arguments would always be hers, truths will always be told, I would be fearful to ever be caught even interacting with another girl.

Her smile turned knowing as she put her beer back down and walked towards me. Taking my hand, she held it gently as she slowly pulled me back to the living room, "Don't worry. I'll go easy on you."

She couldn't have been talking about the game. She just couldn't have been. Tenten was too clever, too quick, to slip anything past her. I think she knew exactly what I had just realized, and I think I knew she was reassuring me that it wouldn't be as bad as it seemed.

But, that future didn't look bad at all. Actually, it looked appealing. I had no problems having her rule the relationship completely, absolutely none. She was the type of girl who didn't take the bull shit, and I respected that completely. I might have been the guy in the relationship, but she was the girl that had me whipped.

Of course I ended up dumbly following after her. Her eyes were steady on mine, and mine steady on hers. I don't know how, but she ended up lying back on the couch as I carefully climbed on top of her. And as she tugged my waist down against hers, I was left slipping my knee between her legs and kissing her on the lips for the first time.

Hey, the whole meeting each other awkwardly thing, props to Alexser. Oh, and props to again to Alex for kindly asking if I could do two more updates by the end of the night.
