Now Please Read On!
Previously:
He wanted this to last forever; it was quiet and he felt comfortable around her. He knew it in his heart that this girl was the one for him, that whatever happens she would obtain his heart no matter what. He developed the courage to grab her hand into his and rubbed it soothingly. He is indeed in eternal bliss...
Naruto stood outside of the building at the gates waiting for Ino. She had asked him to wait for her so they could walk together.
Flashback:
"Hey Naruto," Ino said causing the spiky blonde to pull his attention to her, "… do you mind waiting for me after school?"
Naruto just stared and for a moment nothing entered his ears, but after another a few seconds, it came through ringing clear inside his ears. His eyes widened and his lips twitched into a large smile.
"Of course," he said shortly as he squeezed tightly for a brief moment with his hand in hers. She smiled at him and couldn't help the feeling of wanting to be needed by someone who would be so devoted to her.
"Okay then," she said softly, "… lets meet in front of the gates okay?"
"K," he responded with a smile as he stared deep into those light blue eyes. She smiled back and the alarm rung for class. He felt a bit sadden by their departure, but he was also excited because he'd be able to see her again.
End Flashback
He couldn't help the smile that stayed in place, the excitement beating in his chest, and the nervousness in his mind. He kept looking around anxiously for any signs of her beautiful blonde hair or mesmerizing blue eyes. For a second, he heard his name called and thought it would be the blonde, but saw his buds walking to him instead. He looked crestfallen for a second before his smile replaced it.
"Hey guys," he said waving slightly at them, "… what's up?"
"You," Kiba said with a smirk, "… so… you and the 'Goddess'… together?"
Naruto blush a deep crimson and his friends just smiled at the reaction. Kiba couldn't help the smirk forming his lips.
Naruto deserves this… he thought happily until he realized the other part, even if we may die in the process…
"Congratulation Naruto!" Lee exclaimed happily as he ran up to Naruto to give him a side-hug. Lee is a happy man and seeing his friend find love is something to be celebrated!
"Thanks Lee…" Naruto said scratching the back of his head sheepishly.
"Are you sure you want this?" Neji asked to be sure, he was worried and has the right to be.
"This may just bring trouble…" Gaara emphasized.
"Yeah," Naruto breathed out smiling genuinely at them.
"HEY BLONDIE!" a voice shouted out as it neared said person.
The guys turned to see the man from earlier, Kai who picked a fight with him earlier and Gin who he had gotten hurt from. Naruto immediately sent glares and curled his hands into fists. Kiba recognized Kai and copied his blonde friend; Neji, Lee, and Gaara looked at their friends only to understand their pose.
"What did I tell you?" Kai had said once they reached them. His lips held a wicked smirk while Gin stared at the others.
"So, is this your posse?" he asked dubiously with an eyebrow arched.
"What the hell do you guys want?" Naruto asked out angrily ready to attack.
"Isn't it obvious?" Gin asked laughing while Kai continued, "… I owe you a spar didn't I?"
Naruto could see the anger in their eyes as their fists begin to take its form. Naruto is ready now and since that bastard Gin doesn't have his stupid friends to hold him back, then he would punch him out. Kai also didn't come with anyone and that made the blond suspicious.
Why isn't there more? He wondered but kept his face straight.
"If a fight is what you want, then let's do it!" Kiba seethed out with a smirk across his face. The brunette wants to rip them to shred and would do much more unbearable things that a weak appetite wouldn't be able to handle. He wanted to jump and plant a fist in either one of their faces, but something about the way Naruto's stance slacked a little caught him off guard.
"Come on, what are you waiting for Blondie?" Kai ushered on willingly, "… are you that weak?" he finished with a look of disgust.
"Maybe he thinks he's too good for us because he's going out with our Goddess," Gin assumed cracking his knuckles.
"Oh, maybe…" Kai said amusedly, "… we'll if that's true, then you can have her," he said with a look of hatred toward Naruto, "… because she is just a slut."
Slut… Naruto heard that word and his fist immediately found itself in the face of Kai's. Kiba also threw his punch at the other and both tumbled backwards holding their lips and cheeks.
"Don't… you dare say that!" Naruto screamed out taking deep breathes.
The two men just smirked knowingly at one another as they laughed at their opponents. It was as if there was an inside joke that they didn't know.
"You have no idea how much of a…" Kai started, but before he could finish his face collided with Naruto's fist once again and then stretched to hit Gin as well.
"What did I…" Naruto started but before he could finish, he saw her hair in the corner of his eyes. He turned sharply with his eyes wide praying that she didn't see what he had just done or hope she heard what they said so it wasn't his fault. But as his eyes met her blue ones, all he saw was confusion and a hint of regret.
What have I done… he thought to himself as he turned back to the guys then back at his lover.
--
She was running late meeting him only because Winry wanted to speak to her about something and it took much longer then she would've liked. So she hurried over to the gates saying her farewells to her classmates, friends, and acquaintances. As she head over to the spot, she noticed a large crowd of people hovering at a certain side.
At first she thought it might have been someone falling or something else, but she never wanted to think it would be a fight. She didn't want it to be someone she knows, and she never expected to see golden blonde spiked up as patches on a head.
Naruto… she thought.
She walked a bit into the circle, but not toward the front quite yet. She needed to make sure if it was him and when she saw the anger in those dark blue eyes and his fist flying, she realized that it was indeed a fight. Ino was confused at what had just happened and wondered if it was Naruto who had started the whole thing. She didn't know who he hit, but she sure saw blood spilled and that was enough to make her feel differently for the blonde.
Then his eyes met hers and she couldn't help but stared confused. She didn't realize the sadness and the embarrass features running across his eyes until he looked at her once again. She remembered a time when the persons she loves had a fight… she regretted it, though it had no connection to him.
Flashback:
"Roi!" a man with a bundle of hair tied behind his head called out angrily. The said person turned to face him with a solemn look that read 'What the hell do you want.'
"What the hell did you do to her?!" he screamed grabbing his collar.
"To who?" he asked bemused and made the offender more on the edge.
"You bastard… you freakin used her you dumb…" he seethed out until Roi interrupted.
"Shikamaru, you should calm down," he said with a smirk as he spotted a beautiful blonde far away, "… it won't be good."
"I don't care if it's good or not! You bastard, you think you can use her like a piece of trash?!" Shikamaru asked angrily pulling his face in closer, "… I'll show you to not do that to her!"
"Oh yeah? What are you planning to do? Hit me?" he asked amused and it snapped Shikamaru into punching him square in the face and continued by punching him a couple more times as he laid there taking in the beating.
"Shika…" a small voice caught his attention and he turned to see wide blue eyes. He then looked at the beaten face of Roi only to see a smirk appearing on his face.
"Bastard," he mumbled before grabbing Ino lightly on the wrist and pulling her away.
End flashback
Its happening all over again and she felt the immense déjà vu occurring. So as she looked into his eyes, she felt regret. It wasn't because of Naruto, nor was it because of Shika or Roi. She just hates fight and she just hates blood in general. Her eyes focused again to see Naruto's head drop so she walked closer curious of who he fought with. The crowd backed away slowly as they noticed the popular blonde walking through. Some stared at her with surprise and others stared in annoyance. She ignored them all as she continued through the crowd only to see two men she fairly knows.
"What is going on…?" she asked a bit more confused then she hoped to.
"Ino…" Kai said as he rubbed his swollen cheek, "… I don't know what is going on…" he said innocently.
"My beautiful Goddess," Gin said bowing honorably to her.
"What are you doing here?" Ino said causing him to stand back up. He just stared at her sadly with an obvious frown upon his lips.
"W… what?" he started, "… you still haven't… forgiven me…?" he said sadly and Naruto wondered what he did.
"What you did…" she begins, "… is something I can't forget…" she said lowly as her memories rushed back.
Flashback:
"You are so beautiful," the pierced man said. Ino just looked at him with a soft smile upon her lips.
"Thank you," she returned, "… you don't look too bad yourself," she finished with a wink and a playful smile. His hands touched hers and she could feel the electric shock running through her veins. She couldn't help looking into his eyes that shines and his rugged edginess that draws her to him.
"I love you," the words came out softly from his lips.
Ino blinked a couple of times before the words actually hit her. The heat ran up to her cheeks and her lips quirked upwards.
"Really?" she asked questioningly.
"Of course," Gin said as he leaned in to kiss her. She accepted it and kissed back. She wonders if maybe she could fall for this man like he had done with her already. She smiled into the kiss and hoped that it'll last…
End flashback
Ino couldn't help the frown appearing upon her face as she looked away. She thought that maybe Gin could be the man she would spend her lifetime with, but was she wrong. She never knew how obsessive, how threatening, how crazy the guy was. He was forcing her to let all her friends go, for just him. She would never leave her friends, NEVER.
"Ino…" a voice called through her thoughts and she turned to look at who it was.
WOW! This was a long one huh? Lol We'll I guess to make up for the long wait :]. I do feel sad for Gin because hey, he's so in love with her that he wants her all to himself… :] kinda crazy, but hey…
Questions:
1. Did Naruto misinterpret Ino?
2. Who called out her name? (hint: it isn't Naruto… sadly :[ …)
3. Now, why would Kai call Ino a slut? Is it to anger Naruto or is there something else?
4. Is there a happy ending to this story…? Lol(and I'm the author… pssh…)
