Well, I've finally posted some Naruto up here. Go me.
Thanks to a certain group of people, I've come to love crack pairings. And I decided to write this, because I find it quite possible. Neji is like Sasuke in a lot of ways, after all.
Tori is an OC who will not be appearing for more then a few paragraphs at a time after this.
I do not own anything but Tori and the plot. Don't sue.
"Sasuke is fighting Neji tomorrow."
Ino glanced up at the casual voice. Shikamaru and Chouji had both temporarily left, Chouji to get more ramen, and Shikamaru to help him carry it to their table. Now Shikamaru's seat was occupied by Yoshino Tori, a nin with a habit of knowing a little too much. Though, she rarely felt the urge to grace people with her knowledge.
"At dawn, in one of the training circles..." Tori grabbed a napkin, and looked around for something to write with. "I can draw you a map...Or just follow one of them to it."
"..." Ino blinked. Was she missing something? "Er. Why are you telling me this?" She asked. It was obviously about Sasuke, as she and Neji had yet to really acknowledge each other's existence. Except for that one time during the Chuunin exams...
Tori sighed exaggeratedly, the poor soul among idiots. "You want to prove to Sasuke that you truly love him, by encouraging him in all his activities. Show him that you'll always be there and support him, and he'll realize that you are his one true love!" She grinned, warming onto her subject.
Ino quickly glanced around. Shikamaru had a habit of knocking down Tori's rants, and Tori had a habit of murderous tendencies to anyone who interrupted her. Luckily, he was chatting with Chouji and another nin that had appeared, hands holding steaming ramen.
"Listen, Ino-chan. At a young age, Sasuke was cut from his family in a rude, abrupt manner. He lost all things that he placed trust in. He's out there, lost in a sea of bitterness, with nothing to hold on to and keep him afloat. Prove to him you are his rock, and he will cling to you." Tori informed me passionately, standing up, though leaning on the table.
Ino couldn't help but feel motivated to continue her pursuit of Sasuke whenever Tori talked to her. She remembered what it was that kept her continuing after him, no matter how much he denounced her. She grinned, feeling far more motivated then any of Shikamaru's drabbles about how Sasuke was NOT boyfriend material had. "You're right, Tori-chan!" The younger girl told Tori, standing up, her hands in determined fists. "I can't give up on Sasuke, that's what everyone else around him has done! I'll show him-"
"Yoshino Tori, what have you done?"
Shikamaru and Chouji stood there, smoke curling around into the sky, curtsey hot bowls of ramen. Shikamaru was looking disgusted, and Chouji looked bored. "Why do you plague us so?"
"I am merely helping out a friend." Tori informed him, smirking in her all-knowing manner. She took her leave quickly after.
Shikamaru resumed his spot, and Chouji sat besides him. Ino received her ramen, and they started to eat.
She forgot to tell me exactly where Sasuke-kun and Neji would fight. Ino thought, frowning.
