(A/N Thanks everyone for the reviews, they meant a lot! Also I'm glad that a lot of you loved the boob judging scene, poor Ino I just keep making her suffer. This chapters no different! Oops did I just reveal something, aw well. Like I promised this chapter will have a big fight scene and hopefully this chapter will be long. Enough of my banter enjoy chapter 16!)

Last Time:

Everyone was so busy laughing that they didn't hear Sakura softly whine in sadness. "Ino-chan...." She muttered softly to herself, but Ino heard her loud and clear.

Deciding that Sakura had enough to drink she slowly picked Sakura up bridal style. She was shocked by how light the young girl was, but in the end she was happy that she was this light or she would be screwed.

"I'm taking Sakura home. She's had enough to drink tonight and I'm sure she's as tired as I am." Ino told the others. She started walking to the door when all of a sudden Tsunade ran in front of her and put two white pills in her hand. When Ino looked at the other blonde in question she explained herself.

"It'll help her hangover in the morning." With that she opened the door and Ino started walking to their apartment.

The young blonde looked down at her best friend to find her peacefully asleep. Ino couldn't help but go awe at how cute Sakura looked while she was sleeping. The pink haired girl was lightly clutching the front of Ino's shirt and was snuggled up against her chest. "Ino-chan." The girl softly said in her sleep.

Ino smiled down at her friend before transporting them to their apartment.

'Inner Sakura'

Chapter 16: Club Night!

"This is soooooo boring!!!" exclaimed Yamanaka Ino as she lied upside down in the chair in the living room.

"For the last time Ino, I know!" yelled a very annoyed Haruno Sakura who was currently petting her cat Fubuki behind the ear.

Ino huffed in frustration as all her blood rushed to her head. "Its been two fucking weeks since the play ended and we haven't had ONE mission. Not even a freaken babysitting mission!"

"That's because I've been busy at the hospital and you've been working at the flower shop all day since they sent your Dad on that one month mission." Sakura explained for what had to be the twentieth time to the stubborn blonde.

Giving up with her argument Ino just sat there in silence. Even though she was working at the flower shop still she refused to make amends with her father in turn making him request a one month mission. No one even knew that they were fighting, well not really fighting but simply Ino refused to talk to him. She decided not to tell her friend for fear that the pinkette would get pissed off at her.

After sitting in silence for thirty minutes Sakura looked over at her friend to realize that her face was completely red due to all the blood that was rushing to her head. "Ino you know that can't be healthy."

The blonde grunted at her friend. "So there's nothing else to do!"

"You could read a book."

"Ewwwwww who in their right mind would want to do that?"

Sakura glared at her friend feeling very offended right now. "I would and most of the people in Konoha for that matter."

Ino snickered at her. "Yeah only the boring people." She made sure to stress the word boring to infuriate Sakura.

It worked like a charm as a vein appeared on the pinkette's forehead and she stood up from her seat sending Fubuki onto the floor. "I am NOT boring!"

"Yeah you are." Ino said sticking her tongue out at her friend.

"Well at least I have a larger vocabulary than you." The pinkette retorted crossing her arms over her chest.

Ino just sat there for a while before she realized what Sakura meant by that. She jumped up from her spot on the couch fighting back the dizziness that washed over her mind. "Are you calling me stupid!"

Sakura gave a look of complete shock. "By Joe the pig got it!" She exclaimed before she started laughing at her own remark.

"You know what I don't need to be here if all you're going to do is poke fun at me. I'm leaving." Ino yelled at her friend walking towards the front door, but before she could get out of the room Sakura grabbed her wrist.

Suddenly her wrist flared up at the place where her friend was holding her and Ino wondered what that feeling was. "Come on Ino don't be like that I was joking." Sakura explained a smile still on her lips from earlier.

"I know I'm just so frustrated right now." Ino sighed and ran a hand through her blonde locks which wasn't pulled back at the moment. "I've been stuck in this village for almost three months now! I just want to get out of here for a while."

The pinkette put her hand on Ino's shoulder. "I know how you feel, but what are we supposed to do about it? Our teammates already went on a mission without us and since we're both busy with our other jobs there's not much we can do. All we have to do is wait it out."

"That's what we've been doing for the past two weeks! It's not fair that Naruto, Shikamaru, and Chouji get to go on a mission together but were stuck here dying!"

"Ino we're not dying."

"Yes we are! Sakura don't you feel it!!" Ino exclaimed grabbing the pinkette's shoulders.

Sakura looked at her best friend thinking that she'd finally lost it. "Do you mind telling me what we're dying of?"

Ino dramatically threw her hands up in the air as she announced to the whole world. "OF BOREDOM!!!" Sakura sweat dropped at the blonde before walking away from her and sitting back on the couch.

The blonde was about to join her when the doorbell suddenly rang. Ino brightly smiled and practically flew to the door with the way she was running. Throwing the door open she wrapped her arms around the person fortunate (cough*unfortunate*cough) enough to ring the bell.

"TENTEN YOU JUST SAVED MY LIFE!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!" Ino screamed as she slowly squeezed the life out of the poor girl. Hinata, who was also with Tenten, walked into the apartment a little afraid of her friend's behavior.

The Hyuuga took a seat by Sakura who looked extremely annoyed at the moment, as Ino continued to slowly choke her friend to death all the while screaming at the top of her lungs.

Finally fed up with her best friend's antics Sakura stood up and walked over to the two. Tenten was slowly turning blue and Ino was still acting insane. "INO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD YOU WEREN'T DIEING, BUT KEEP IT UP AND I WILL PERSONALLY KILL YOU!!!!" When that didn't work the pinkette screamed in frustration before pulling the two apart with her insane strength.

Instantly Tenten gasped for air and ran over to where Hinata was scared out of her mind. Ino looked at her friend who was holding her up by the back of her shirt and started to pout. "You don't have to be that mean Saku-chan." Ino decided to use her charms on her friend hoping that she wouldn't kill her.

Sakura smirked at her friend making the other look at her in shock that her pout didn't work. "You seriously think that the puppy dog eyes will work on me? Ha you're mistaken missy cuz I invented that look." She then let go of Ino who thankfully didn't land on her butt. "But I won't kill you today. Though the next time you piss me off I might consider it." She finished in a joking manner.

Before Sakura could walk away Ino threw her arms around her neck and screamed into her ear. "THANK YOU FOR SPARING ME!!!" Then she quickly let go and ran over to her spot on one of the couches.

"Fucking pain in my ass." Sakura muttered clutching her head as she felt a headache starting to form. She went into the living room and took a spot on the other couch, her head in her hands.

Ino looked at her friend in concern before turning her attention to her two friends on the couch. "So what brings you guys here?" She asked wondering if it was an important event or something.

"To be honest we were bored as hell." Tenten stated leaning back in her seat. "And a little frustrated at the same time."

"And why are you guys mad?"

Hinata decided to answer for her. "Both our teams left on seperate missions while we were stuck here."

The blonde looked at her two friends in surprise. "Your teammates left you guys too! Here I thought that Sakura and I were the only special ones in this outfit!"

Sakura started to groan in pain as she held her head tighter. "Must you scream Ino?" She questioned in a very annoyed voice.

Ino smiled sheepishly at her friend before turning to the other two. "Sorry about my grouchy cherry blossom she's just in a bad mood."

"Only because you don't know how to shut the hell up." Sakura retorted as healing chakra started to emerge from her hands and slowly soothed her aching head.

"Well enough of her complaining. So what do you guys want to do?" Ino said earning a glare from her friend.

The other two just shrugged their shoulders, not really caring what they would do, as long as it was something. "We could watch a movie?" Hinata suggested but that was quickly shot down.

"How about we train." Tenten said to the girls.

"Okay you hang out with Neji way too damn much. How about we do something fun and exciting!" Ino exclaimed trying to think of something to do.

Sakura rolled her eyes at her friend as she made a sarcastic remark. "How about we go clubbing at the local bar."

Instantly the blonde's eyes widened in happiness. "Sakura that's a brillant idea!!"

Hinata and Tenten looked at each other then at their crazy friend. "It is?" They both questioned.

The pinkette slapped her forehead at giving her friend such a stupid idea. With the way she was jumping around it looked like there was no backing out of it. She could still try though. "Ino you can't possibly even consider this. I mean you have to show your ID, since we're under aged they won't let us in."

Ino's smile started to falter in sadness as realization hit her, but Hinata quickly lifted her spirits up. "Ummm....Sakura what are you talking about you always have fake ID's on you all the time."

Sakura's eyes widened at being found out as Ino looked at her friend like a lion ready to attack its prey. "Saku-chan you've been holding out on me and here I thought we were best friends!!"

"It's not what it sounds like. I haven't used those ID's in months ever since I started training all the time." Which is code for, she stopped having fun after Sasuke raped her and killed her mom.

Tenten decided to add her two cents. "And what did you use those ID's for anyway?"

"For what normal teenagers do: buy alcohol and sneak into clubs. I used to go with Hinata and Naruto all the time." Sakrua explained with a shrug of her shoulders.

Ino and Tenten quickly whirled around to face their other friend who found the floor very interesting at the moment. "You have a fake ID too!" Ino screamed, surprised that even Hinata of all people sneaked into clubs.

Hinata blushed a little at her friends stares. "I never really drank ever since I got really sick that one time, but I do like dancing and meeting new people."

"You got wasted!!!" Tenten shouted her whole image of the innocent girl quickly crumbling down.

Before Hinata could reply Sakura went over to her and wrapped one arm around her friend. "Yeah it was a once in a lifetime thing. Actually it was Naruto's fault that she got so drunk in the first place, what with him buying shots like a madman. Poor Hinata tried so hard to stay sober but it was no use. Luckily she was staying the night at my house at the time. Hate to have to send her drunk ass back to her house what with her father and all."

"You never told us that!" The two shouted at their friends.

"You never really asked." Hinata said to the two a small smile on her face.

"Well now I want to go clubbing because I've never done it before!" Tenten declared walking over to Ino's side and standing beside her.

Hinata looked at her pink haired friend then back at her other two friends before giving in. "You know the idea does sound very tempting."

Sakura looked down at her blue haired friend. "Not you too!"

"Come on Sakura its been ages since we let loose on the dance floor. One night couldn't kill us. Besides I know you miss it."

"Yeah come on Sakura quit being such an old bat and have some fun!" yelled Tenten wrapping an arm over Ino's shoulder.

A wave of jealously hit Sakura full force at the sight in front of her. 'Who the fuck does she think she is trying to touch my Ino! WAIT DID I JUST SAY THAT!!!'

'Yes you just did.' Inner Sakura remarked a sly smile on her features.

'Oh sweet jesus not you again! Can't you leave me alone for like a day!' Sakura screamed in her head not realizing that the other girls were looking at her in confusion.

'Bet you wouldn't be saying that to your Ino-chan as you oh so nicely put it. Though I don't blame you that panda bitch is wayyyyyy too close to her.' Inner Sakura said to her other self.

Sakura couldn't help but giggle at how her inner described her friend. 'You're wrong I don't think of Ino like that.'

'Surrrrrrreeeeee you don't. Here's a word of advice why don't you listen to your heart instead of your brain and I promise you you'll be loads happier.'

'Wait what do you mea.....' Before she could finish her sentence a hand suddenly waved in front of her face causing Sakura to jerk backwards and bash her head into a wall. Instantly her headache came back causing the girl to moan in pain.

Suddenly she heard a giggle and faced the person that was laughing at her. What she saw was Ino standing way too close to her for comfort. "Sakura even after all these years you're still the biggest clutz I know." She said poking her best friend in the forehead.

For some reason Sakura couldn't help but blush causing Ino to look at her in confusion. 'Why the hell is she blushing so damn bad? I mean she looks very cute when she blushes but......WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST SAY!!!! There's is no way in hell that I like Sakura like that! I AM NOT GAY!!!!' Ino screamed inside her head as she turned away from Sakura as if the girl physically struck her.

"Okay so are we going clubbing or not?" Tenten asked her patience flying out the window.

Before Sakura could respond Ino cut her off. "Of course! Now lets get dressed ladies!"

"You do realize that you or Tenten have no fake IDs right?" Sakura stated with a smirk as she crossed her arms over her chest.

Hinata decided to help convince Sakura to go. "Sakura you know that one habit that I told you you can never do again or I would kill you?" In response the pinkette nodded her head. "Well if you get the IDs and come with us I'll let you do it just for tonight."

Instantly Sakura's eyes lit up in delight. "Reallllyyyyyy!!!!! You have no idea how hard it was to go cold turkey just like that! I love you sooooo much Hinata!" With that the pinkette ran out of the living room and into her bedroom.

Ino and Tenten looked at each other then at Hinata in confusion. "Ummmm....what was that all about?" Tenten questioned the young Hyuuga.

All Hinata did was point to the hallway that soon revealed Sakura lighting up a cigarette that was placed in her mouth. Once it was lit she took one big puff and slowly blew the smoke out, all the while sighing in pleasure. "You have no idea how bad I needed a smoke." Sakura said more to herself than the others.

The blonde looked at her best friend in horror. "SAKURA YOU FUCKING SMOKE!!!!" She couldn't believe that Sakura of all people smoked, she's a freaking doctor shouldn't she know what that shit does to her body.

The smoking pinkette decided to ignore her best friend and took extreme pleasure in filling her lungs with the lovely nicotine.

Ino looked at Hinata demanding an explanation. "It's all Temari's fault that she got hooked on smoking in the first place. About a year ago all three of us were on a mission together with Naruto and Shikamaru so while we were taking a break Temari pulled out a pack of cigarettes. Back then Sakura was like you shouldn't smoke its not good for your health, but Temari quickly waved off her comment and asked her if she wanted to try it. Of course she said no but Temari called her chicken and you know how competitive she can get. Well to sum it up Sakura's now addicted to cigarettes and I've been threatening her to quit. Though she did do a pretty good job at staying away from smoking. How long did you last this time?"

"Five long terrible months. I'm surprised your even letting me smoke after all the threats you made against me." Sakura said as she grabbed her phone and dialed someone's number.

"It was the only way to get you to come with us." Hinata replied with a shrug of her shoulders.

"Hello......yea it's me...........can you make me two fake IDs?..........no I still have mine, but its for Ino and Tenten.......yea we're finally going clubbing..........fuck off I do to know how to have fun...........just get them ready for us in an hour.........ya ya I know..........okay see you in an hour.......bye." Sakura hung up the phone and took another drag from her cigarette.

"Who was that?" Tenten asked before she walked into the kitchen to grab a bite to eat.

Sakura hung the phone up and sat down on the couch, lighting up another cigarette in the process. "My supplier. It'll take about 30 minutes for him to get them and another 30 for him to get here. I swear he's soo fucking slow."

"Sakura must you smoke?" Ino questioned already not liking to see her best friend smoke. Sure she was used to Asuma smoking all the time, but she never really could stand other people who smoked, especially her friends.

"Sorry babe, but I've been without cigarettes for a long ass time so I'm going to enjoy myself." The pinkette replied sounding strangely like Temari.

Tenten started laughing at Sakura's remark as Ino started to turn red in fury. "You sound like Temari! You know I wonder where Temari is anyway? I'm sure that she would have wanted to come with us." Tenten said more to herself rather than the others.

Hinata decided to answer Tenten's remark cuz Ino looked ready to kill her friend, who had a look of pure bliss on her face. "She had to go back to Suna for a while because Gaara needed to speak with her. Oh and Lee went with her too."

"Why did she have to go all the way back to Suna just to talk to Gaara?" Tenten exclaimed.

"Who cares about people who are not even here right now!!! Let's just focus on getting that damn cigarette out of Sakura's mouth!!" screeched Ino staring intently at the burning paper.

Just to piss the blonde off Sakura walked over to Ino, took a big puff of smoke, and blew it in her face. Hinata and Tenten both gasped at the display already planning their friend's funeral.

The reaction was slow, but soon Ino realized what Sakura did. She clenched her fists and stood still, trembling in fury. Then out of nowhere she roughly grabbed Sakura's hand and practically dragged her into the pinkette's bedroom.

"Hinata, Tenten get ready in my room!! Use whatever you want of mine!!! You have 10 minutes!!!!" Ino screamed before she slammed the door. Quickly the two ran into Ino's room, afraid of her wrath.

Once Ino and Sakura were in the room the blonde threw her best friend onto the bed and ripped the cigarette from her mouth, not caring that she was burning herself in the process. Then in all her fury she slapped the girl across the cheek with her right hand causing Sakura's head to go to the left.

"If you EVER smoke again I swear to god that I will make you suffer!!" Ino threatened in a cold tone. "I refuse to have my best friend die of lung cancer cuz she was stupid enough to smoke."

It was completely silent in the room with Ino standing over Sakura and Sakura still not moving an inch. After a while though Sakura's shoulders started to shake and she slowly lifted her hand to cover her mouth.

Ino felt her heart break at what she was seeing. She hated to see Sakura cry especially if she was the cause of it. Quickly she sat next to her and wrapped her arms around the sobbing girl, bringing her body into her own. Sakura laid her head on Ino's right shoulder as the blonde started to rub the pinkette's back soothingly. After a while the young Haruno started to calm down and just stayed there in Ino's arms, loving the way she made her feel safe.

"I'm sorry." Sakura muttered into Ino's shoulder causing her friend to smile down at her.

"It's okay just never smoke again." Ino said kissing the top of her head making Sakura start giggling.

"Was that a laugh?" Ino joked, pulling away from Sakura and poking the girl in the forehead making the girl laugh some more. "Holy crap I made her laugh!" Ino exclaimed as she pushed Sakura onto the bed.

Sakura laughed at her best friend's antics. "Inooooooooooo why are you being sooooo mean!" The pinkette decided to play along.

Suddenly an evil idea popped into Ino's head. With quick movements Ino sat on top of Sakura, stradding her hips. Ino leaned forward so that their faces were inches apart. "If you think that's being mean then what I'm going to do next will be pure evil." Ino smirked evily at the scared look on her friends face.

Sakura shuddered at the feeling of Ino's body on top of her own, but she held back the blush that started to burn at her neck. "What are you going to do to me?" She said in a surprisingly calm tone.

Ino started to lean closer to Sakura. When it looked like she was about to kiss her she quickly moved to the right so that she was by her ear. "Tickle you till you beg." She whispered huskily making the pinkette shiver in pleasure until she realized what Ino just said.

"Wait.....what the hel......hahahahahahha!!!" Sakura started laughing hystrically once Ino started tickling her sides. She tried to push the blonde off of her, but Ino quickly put a stop to that by pinning her hands above her head with her left hand while her right continued to attack her sides.

"Come..........on......Ino......STOP!!!" Sakura cried out in between giggles. The one thing that sucked about having a best friend like Ino is that she never forgets things, for instance Sakura is extremely ticklish around her sides.

"Not until you say that Ino Yamanaka is the smartest, strongest, prettiest, and bestest kunoichi in the world!" Ino sang out enjoying the way Sakura's hips grinded against her womanhood.

"NEVER!!!!" Sakura shouted at the top of her lungs. Her face was beet red and she was finding it extremely difficult to breathe.

"Come on Sakura give up there's no chance in hell that you can escape." Ino said a huge grin on her face because she knew that she had her friend trapped.

Sakura took that comment as a challenge and if there's one thing you should know about Haruno Sakura, it is that she refuses to be beaten. Maybe that would explain the next thing that she did because how else could you explain it.

Using all her strength Sakura managed to lift her head up so that her face was inches away from Ino's. She fought back the urge to laugh as a cocky smirk graced her lips. "Sorry Ino-chan but I can't lose to you." Then she closed the distance by placing her lips softly upon Ino's.

The blonde's eyes widened in shock and she loosened her grip on the other girls hands. She tried to pull away but she found that against her better judgement she was KISSING HER BACK!

Sakura pulled her hands out of Ino's grip, but she didn't stop the kiss there. Oh no! Instead she placed her left hand on the blondes cheek while her right was placed on the back of her head, pushing her face closer to hers.

Ino moaned at the feeling of their bodies so close together and the way that this kiss made her feel. She knew that her arms were about to give out on her since they were propping herself up so she grabbed Sakura's shoulders and pulled her up. Now they were both sitting on the bed. Ino wrapped her arms around her friends slim waist and brought the girl even closer to her.

Just as they were about to really get into it the door suddenly opened. Hinata walked in all dressed up and ready with a smile on her face. "Hey guys I was wondering if......you.......were................done....." Hinata finished as she realized what she just walked in on. She stood there with her mouth hanging open in shock as she saw her friends jump away from each other like they were on fire. Well maybe they were what with the way their faces were all red.

"Hinata this isn't what it looks like!" Sakura shouted out, getting off the bed and walking towards her closet. She'd never felt so embarrassed in her entire life.

The dark haired girl closed the door behind her and crossed her arms over her chest with a look of disbelief. "Then tell me what it does look like cuz to me it looked like you two were making out."

Ino waved her arms in the air and shook her head violently from side to side to prove that the other girl was wrong. "We weren't making out at all. You see we got into a tickle fight and things kind of escalated....."

"Into kissing." Hinata finished for her. "Look guys I don't care if you're dating each other. Really I'm happy for you two, just don't lie to my face okay."

"BUT WE'RE TELLING THE TRUTH!!!" Both girls yelled pissed that Hinata didn't believe them.

Hinata smirked at the two. "Yea sure and Lee isn't straight. Okay I just came in here to say that Tenten's almost done getting dressed so you two get a move on." She turned around and opened the door, but not without saying. "Oh and please control yourselves." All you could hear after that was Hinata's laughter.

Both girls glared at the door, hoping to burn a hole right through it. "You know I missed the shy Hinata that didn't say anything." Ino commented taking her shirt off.

Sakura quickly covered her eyes with her hands. "INO WHAT THE FUCK!!"

Ino looked at her friend in confusion. "What?"

"Don't take your clothes off in front of me! No wonder Hinata thinks we're gay!"

"Well its not my fault you kissed me."

"You started it!"

"Oh, real mature Sakura."

----------

So after thirty minutes of picking and choosing between different outfits, (mostly Ino forcing Sakura what to wear) they were finally all dressed and ready to party.

"Okay so Sakura tell me again who this person is and why he's sooooo FUCKING LATE!!!" Ino screamed at her best friend while she was sitting down on the couch, her right leg crossed over her left giving the others a little view under her tight light blue mini skirt. She started clicking her black heels in impatience as she waited for her friend to reply.

Sakura glared at her friend from the kitchen, but she couldn't help but stare at her cleavage. Damn she just had to wear a shirt that showed way too much skin. Ino's top was to say the least stunning, being a strapless, dark blue that showed her shoulders and midriff. "He's always this late so deal with it pig!" She shouted out.

Ino sighed at her friend's response, apparently she was still mad about having to wear what she was wearing. Truth be told Sakura looked extremly sexy in her tight spaghetti strap top. The blood red color bringing out her hair and the v-shaped neck showing a lot of cleavage. Thanks to Ino's force in her wearing a real bra instead of a training bra (an arguement that is better left untold) it showed how big her breasts really were. She could give Tsunade a run for her money!

The pinkette walked into the room, her high heel boots clicking on the floor, and sat down next to the blonde. She was wearing tight black pants that hugged her hips nicely, but Ino was disappointed that she didn't want to wear a skirt or anything.

Reaching her hand out she grabbed a piece of her friend's locks, being worn like it usually was, straight and down. "You know Sakura you could have done something with your hair." Ino exclaimed.

Sakura slapped Ino's hand away from her hair and huffed in annoyance. "At least I took my headband out of my hair! What the hell are you talking about anyway your hair is up in a ponytail. Again!"

Hinata walked up to the two of them clearly looking irritated. "Guys can you stop arguing for like ten minutes. That's all I'm asking of you two." Unlike her two friends Hinata decided to dress modest (well she was the most covered out of all of them). For some reason she decided to wear her winter coat but left it unzipped so that you could see her loose fitting purple tee. To finish off the outfit she was wearing tight faded jeans that showed off her curves.

(A/N About Hinata's clothes, she may have gotten over her shyness but it's still Hinata she's not going to be showing any skin. She HAS a boyfriend. lol)

"Yea come on you two be nice or we'll have to seperate you like a couple of 5 year olds." Tenten said in agreement with Hinata. The brown haired girl decided to leave her hair in her signature buns, but unlike Hinata, Tenten was dressed in a similar fashion than her two friends. With a tight green tank that left nothing to the imagination and a short white mini skirt, Tenten could be described by one word: SEXXXXXXYYYYYYYYY!!!!

(A/N Hahahaha looks like Tenten doesn't care if she has a boyfriend or not she's here to parrtttyyyy!!! lol)

"She started it!!" Both yelled out at the same time pointing to the other, then realizing that they said it at the same time, they huffed in frustration and turned the other way.

They managed to spend the next thirty minutes in relative silence. Ino was beyond irritated, Sakura was reading a book, Hinata was playing with Fubuki, and Tenten was sharpening one of her kunai's.

Suddenly there was a light tapping at the window. Everyone except for Sakura jumped in fright at the random noise. "Well looks like he finally showed up." The pinkette muttered getting up from her spot and making her way over to the window. She opened the window and the figure practically flew into the living room.

Once Ino layed eyes on the person she jumped up in shock and aimed her index finger at him. "Ka.....Kaka........Kakashi!!!!" Then she turned to face Sakura. "He's your supplier!"

Sakura shrugged her shoulders before turning to her sensei. "I presume you have my goods?" She asked in a serious tone making the others look at this like a drug exchange.

"That all depends do you have my demands?" Kakashi questioned back.

The young girl started to smirk a strangely perverted grin. "I have even better than that." She reached into her back pocket to reveal none other than...............

Kakashi's eyes widened in shock and the background behind him changed to pitch black with blue lightening strikeing down on the ground. "Is that......is that......" He reached out with a shakey hand toward the object in Sakura's hands.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME THAT'S............" Ino, Hinata, and Tenten all screamed in disgust not believing their friend would have something like that in her possession.

Sakura's left eye glinted in the light as she smirked triumphantly. "That's right folks, the brand new book in the Icha Icha series, titled Icha Icha Romance. This book is sooooooooo new that it won't be released in book stores for another 4 months." The other girls fell down anime style at how proud Sakura sounded right now.

"How in the world did you manage to get it this early!" exclaimed Kakashi amazement in his eyes as he stared at the book like it was some sort of god.

"Well you see Jiraiya owes me because I helped him with his research on this book. For his gratitude he sent me twenty copies all personally signed by him and it comes with this little cute frog keychain." Sakura explained before she pulled out a mini version of Gamakichi as a key chain.

"Sakura I thought you were afraid of frogs?" Tenten questioned knowing how much the pinkette was scared of them.

"Oh, I got over that phase years ago." Sakura said laughing at such a stupid question.

Kakashi didn't want to waste a second longer so he threw Ino and Tenten their fake IDs and Sakura handed him the book. Once he reached the window he turned to face Sakura. "You have no idea how proud you made me today Sakura. Knowing that at least you're following in my footsteps." And with that he disappeared into the night.

Sakura faced away from the window and towards her friends. "Now that that's done lets roll." She said walking to the front door.

"Hold it! Since when did you become like one of them!" Ino shouted at her retreating figure.

The pinkette stopped in her tracks, she turned her head to face Ino and slowly smiled at the blonde.

"I've always had a thing for romance and sex comes with romance I can't help it." She said good naturally before opening the front door and walking out.

"SAKURA YOU PERVERT!!!!!" Ino screamed running after her friend.

Tenten sighed at her two friends. "You know if I didn't know them personally I would think that they have a thing for each other." Then she left right after them leaving just Hinata by the door.

"Oh Tenten you have no idea." Hinata replied as she shut the lights and the door behind her not realizing how crazy of a night she was going to have that night.

------------------

The girls walked up to a building that was emitting loud techno music and smelled strongly of cigarettes and beer. Lights flashed through the windows giving the girls a little light so that they could see. At the entrance was a large man, with too many tattoo's to count, blocking the door.

Haruno Sakura smiled at the emotions she was feeling at being here again. 'Man it's been way too long since I've let loose.' She thought to herself as the group of girls approached the man.

When the man laid eyes on the girls his eyes lit up in excitement. "Sakura, Hinata it's been a while. I see you brought some friends with you this time." Then he noticed that one member of the group was missing. "Hey where's Naruto?"

"Oh he's on a mission so we ditched him to come clubbing." Sakura responded with a wave of her hand.

"Oh that's too bad. He was always really funny when he got wasted and tried to dance." The man responded making Sakura and Hinata laugh.

"So are you two going to introduce yourselves to Steve or not?" Sakura asked her friends making them jump a little at being talked to.

"Umm......I'm Tenten."

"I'm Yamanaka Ino!"

Steve looked at the two girls before chuckling to himself. "Well I can see who's going to give Sakura a run for her money on the dance floor." He checked all their IDs before he responded again. "Okay ladies you are free to go in. It was a pleasure meeting you two and Sakura please control yourself I don't want to kick out anyone today."

As the girls were walking in Ino turned to her best friend in confusion. "Sakura what's he talking about?"

Sakura blushed in embarrassment before Hinata answered for her. "Um....well Sakura has...oh how do you put it....certain assets that drive men over the age. The last time we were here things got way out of hand. Like ten guys were fighting over her so Steve and a few of his friends had to break up a huge bar fight."

Ino and Tenten's eyes widened in shock. "Did that seriously happen?!" They both exclaimed in disbelief.

"What are you talking about Hinata that never happened. You must have been drinking that night cuz I don't recall that happening." Sakura stated laughing to herself hoping that the others didn't think she was lying.

The building was divided into two different sections. Towards the walls were tables where people who either didn't want to dance or were too tired to dance anymore sat with their drinks. The dance floor was huge with bodies rubbing against each other to the beat of the music and the DJ watching all of them dance their hearts away to the music. The bar was in the middle and boy did it look busy with all the people surrounding it and the bartenders dancing on top of the bar. Wait....hold up they were actually dancing on top of the bar. Never in her life had Ino seen something that wild.

(A/N Apparently Ino don't get out much. hehehehehehe.......)

The young Haruno noticed her friend glancing over at the bar and took it the wrong way. "Don't worry Ino once we find a table we can drink as much alcohol as we want."

Ino looked at her friend realizing that she caught her staring. "Um....actually I don't plan on drinking tonight Sakura. I really can't stand the taste of alcohol."

Sakura slapped a hand on the blondes shoulder, pushing her in the direction of their table.

"Nonsense. No friend of mine isn't drinking tonight. You dragged me out here so you owe me so I want to get you trashed." She replied with a giant grin.

"But someone has to be sober to take us home." Ino explained really not wanting to get drunk. The last time she got drunk was with her teammates and that turned out horribly.

"That's what Hinata's for." Sakura said pointing over her shoulder at the white eyed girl.

Suddenly out of nowhere some man slapped Sakura's ass. Now what Ino expected to happen was Sakura chasing after the guy and beat the living shit out of him. What she didn't expect was for her to do this.

"Hey buddy there's more if you can handle it!" Sakura shouted at the man who walked up to the girl and wrapped his arms around her shoulders.

"You know I alway's liked my girls a little frisky." The man said before he proceeded to slap the pinkette's butt again.

As Ino watched the scene before her unfold she felt a tight clenching in her stomach as her vision slowly started to turn red. 'If he lays one more slap on MY Saku-chan's ass I will personally rip his arms off!!!' Ino thought in her mind not caring that she was being a little over possessive.

Apparently Hinata must have noticed the killing intent emitting from Ino because she quickly grabbed Sakura's hand and pulled her away from the man. He was too drunk to even care that she was gone so he went to another girl dancing a few feet away.

When they reached the table a server came up to them from out of nowhere and they placed their drink orders (more like Sakura telling them what to drink). Once the server left Hinata rounded on her friend. "Sakura we haven't even been here for more than five minutes and already you're flirting with men. Why do you always do this?"

Sakura smirked at the girl and leaned her head on her right hand. "Because it's fun to watch them squirm."

Tenten couldn't help but laugh at the way Sakura was acting. "You know if I didn't know any better I would think I was partying with Tsunade not Sakura."

"Well looks like the student has surpassed the master."

"OH NO SHE DIDN'T!!!" Ino shouted slamming her hands on the table. Now she was really dreading her idea about coming here. It's not like she knew Sakura was going to be a fucking party animal.

Sakura scooted over to her friend using her right hand to hold Ino's left. She started to rub her thumb over the top of the blondes in circles. This caused Ino to slowly relax but she was still mad that that guy touched Sakura like that.

"Ino-chan are you mad that that guy was interested in me not you." Wow, way to totally piss Ino off again.

"ARE YOU CALLING ME SHALLOW!!!!" Ino screamed losing all patience with the girl no matter how much she cared about her.

Waving her arms frantically in front of her Sakura smiled nervously at her companion. "No I didn't mean it like that. What I meant to say was........." Before she could finish Ino interrupted her.

"THAT I'M A WHORE?!!!"

"No not like that! I mean........"

"THAT I SLEEP AROUND WITH OTHER MEN!!!!"

"No what I meant was........"

"THAT I LIKE DICK A LITTLE TOO MUCH!!!!!!"

"Dammit Ino let me finish my........."

"THAT I SUCK IT DRY EVERYDAY LIKE A FUCKING VACUUM!!!!!!!"

"Ino if you don't let me finish I will..........."

"I GET PAID TO BL.........." Before she could finish her sentence Sakura slapped a hand over her mouth. That seemed to have snapped Ino out of her daze but as she laid eyes on her best friend she gulped in fear.

Ino knew better than anyone else that above all the things she hated, Sakura despised getting interrupted. As she looked back on their conversation the blonde realized that she interrupted her friend a lot. Her eyes widened in shock making Sakura smile evilly at the taller girl.

She leaned close to Ino's ear, whispering softly. "Now that I can finally get a word in what I was going to say was......." As Sakura was trying to finish her sentence the waitress came back with their orders.

"Here are your drinks ladies." She replied happily not realizing that she just drove a pink haired girl over the edge.

"GOD DAMMIT WHAT'S WITH ALL YOU FUCKING PEOPLE AND YOUR CONSTANT NEED TO INTERRUPT ME!!??!!!" Sakura screamed at the top of her lungs. Just as she was about to scream at the poor unsuspecting server a song came on that seemed to make Sakura's mood do a complete 180. "OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS SONG!!!! INO YOU MUST DANCE WITH ME!!!" With that the pinkette grabbed her best friend and practically ran (dragged in Ino's case) to the dance floor.

The server looked at the two other girls, whose bodies seemed to mend with the chairs.

"Ummm....what's up with her?" She asked.

Hinata paid for the drinks and tipped the girl ten dollars because she felt bad that she had to bear the witness of Sakura's short temper. "Please don't ask, just keep the drinks coming." She said taking a long drink of Tenten's long island iced tea.

Tenten looked at the girl in shock. "I thought that you weren't going to drink tonight?" She asked the Hyuuga.

"With the way this night is going I'm going to need a couple of drinks." Hinata muttered placing her head in her hands.

-------------

Ino and Sakura reached the middle of the dance floor just as the singer in the song started singing.

Take me now baby here as I am
hold me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed

Both girls started dancing to the music not even registering the fact that they were rubbing against complete strangers.

Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take my hand come undercover
They can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now

It was at that moment that Ino realized that they were way too far apart. She placed both hands on each side of the pinkette's hips and slowly brought her closer to her own body.

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

Ino was enjoying the way that Sakura's body moved to the music, it felt so great. Being a ninja does have its advantages.

Have I doubt baby when I'm alone
Love is a ring, the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our beds till the morning comes

After a while though Sakura's shirt started to ride up causing Ino to come into contact with skin. Instantly the blonde started to blush and tried to pull away but Sakura quickly grabbed her hands and placed them back on her hips.

Come on now try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand as the sun descends
They can't touch you now
Can't touch you now, can't touch you now

"Don't be so nervous Ino just give into the feeling that the music's giving you. Besides its not like you haven't touched me there anyway." Sakura told her friend wrapping her arms around her neck.


Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

As the song came to an end Ino couldn't help but look at her friend curiously. 'What's with her today? It's like she wants me to touch her like that, but that can't be it, Sakura's definitely not like that and neither am I. But what's up with her?'

Just as Ino was about to pull away another song came on that both girls knew very well. The duo looked each other in the eyes and grinned. The crowd had no idea what they were in store for.

Pop, pop! Pop, pop!

I hate to say it but they play this dance song in every club
But it's me so I'll show love
But it's me so show me love

The reason the two girls knew the song was because they heard Naruto of all people singing it and after a while the song kinda grew on them.

When I walk into the room people stop and stare
It's like nobody else is there
You know it's me not you
Who said anything about you

Sakura started to softly sing the lyrics as Ino shook her hips to the beat.

Boys and girls pretend to know me, they try so hard
And I get what I want, my name is my credit card
Don't try to hate me because I am so popular..

Pop, pop, popular! Pop, pop, popular!

Men started to drool at the two girls dancing, hell even some girls were looking at the two like they were a piece of meat. Everyone actually stopped dancing just to watch the two girls dance, but the other two were so wrapped up with each other that they had no idea.

Most guys I dated got intimidated
So now I date up
If you know what it means so they shut up
If you know what it means so just shut up

'Cause I don't wanna give half away
On the date we don't make up
If you know what I mean when we wake up
If you know what I mean when we break up

Ino looked at her best friend. She looked so stunning with her eyes glowing in happiness and her hair flying back and forth across her face. It was at this point in time when the room got ten times more hotter than it was before.

Boys and girls pretend to know me, they try so hard
And I get what I want, my name is my credit card
Don't try to hate me because I am so popular..

Pop, pop, popular!

Sakura looked at Ino and couldn't help but grin at how much fun she was having right now. It was intoxicating watching as the blonde's chest went up and down to the rhythm of the music.

You always wanna be around me
So you know what it's like
When the world is at your feet
And you're VIP tonight
You've either you got it or you don't
And I'm sorry you won't
Get there by using me
Just go & do your own thing

Boys and girls pretend to know me, they try so hard
And I get what I want, my name is my credit card
Don't try to hate me because I am so popular

Random bodies rubbed against them but at this point in time the only ones that mattered were each other. How long had it been since they had fun like this? With missions given to them all the time and Sasuke's attack the two never really got the time to let lose.

Pop, pop, popular!

Boys and girls pretend to know me, they try so hard
And I get what I want, my name is my credit card
Don't try to hate me because I am so popular

Ino knew that once the song was over they couldn't touch each other like they were now. It brought a pang to her chest knowing that eventually Ino would have to let go of the young Haruno even though she didn't want to.

Pop, pop, popular! Pop, pop, popular!
Pop, pop, popular! Pop, pop, popular!

Pop, pop, popular!

Once the song came to an end some guy pushed Ino away from Sakura. The blonde was about to retort when she heard what the guy said. "Hey beautiful saw you rocking the floor and I was just wondering if you could dance with me?"

Ino laughed at the guy's poor choice in words. 'Are you kidding me! That has to be the worst pick-up line ever created! Sakura would never fall for something as cheesy as that.'

"I would love to." Sakura replied making Ino's jaw drop. Suddenly Sakura realized Ino was still there so she looked over the guys shoulder. "Ummmm....Ino do you mind if I dance with him?" She asked politely, but it pretty much meant 'get the fuck away'.

"Of course I don't mind. I'm just going to sit down for awhile. All that dancing can tire a person out."

Then she left without a reply from her friend. 'Why do I feel so betrayed all of a sudden. I mean its not like we're dating or something, I should be happy that Sakura's finally getting over the whole Sasuke attack. Still I would be much happier if she was getting over him with me. Wait......no I didn't mean it like that!' Ino's mind was definitely in some turmoil.

Once she reached the table she could tell that Tenten was gone and so was her drink. Great now she was going to have to carry at least one of her friends home tonight. When she looked at Hinata she sighed in frustration. "Hinata I thought you weren't drinking tonight?"

Hinata giggled at her friend before burping uncutely. "Well I wasn't but.........you two drove me to it. SO BLAME YOURSELVES!!!!!!" She rudely shouted causing everyone around her to glare at her.

The young Yamanaka took a seat by her friend who was still giggling uncontrollably. Really not wanting to deal with her right now she looked at the dance floor.

The music was some type of sex crap that she really didn't care for so she was pretty happy that she sat this one out (she really couldn't handle everyone rubbing up against her). The only problem was that Sakura was still out there with that asshole.

She spotted Tenten over at the bar and well lets just say she was doing more than just dancing. Poor Neji, now Ino understands why he doesn't let her drink; she's fucking crazy!

It was then that she spotted Sakura all nice and cozy with that guy. Even she had to admit the guy was very good looking with his blood red hair and piercing bright blue eyes. He was wearing a black dress shirt and tight faded jeans that clearly showed his wonderfully shaped ass. Well if Sakura can pick them she can pick them.

Apparently Hinata must have noticed her staring because she oh so rudely pointed out. "You have a thing for Sakura."

Startled by the question Ino turned to the pale eyed girl. "Why do you keep insisting that I have a 'thing' for Sakura."

"Because you do." Hinata stated flatly taking another swig of her drink.

"Hinata let me tell this to you now and I will stress every word. I'm not gay!"

"You don't have to be gay to love Sakura you know."

"Oh god I hope your not saying I'm bi cuz I'm not!"

"No no no. I didn't mean it like that!"

"Well then what did you mean ? I swear, answer wrong and I will shove that drink up your nose. Don't ask me how I just will."

Hinata paused slightly to think over her answer while Ino fumed silently to herself. After about two minutes she finally spoke again. "One thing that you don't really know about me is that I don't believe in sexual orientation. You can't just label a person straight, gay, or bi sexual. I mean there's a lot more to it than that. What I do believe in is soulmates, love at first sight, etc. because you can't label them simply as that, they're much much more.

"Ino you have to believe me when I say that you and Sakura have a relationship deeper than just best friends. How else could you explain the way you're reacting to her dancing with a man." Hinata was about to continue but Ino interrupted her.

"What are you talking about I'm happy that Sakura is having fun." Ino lied through her teeth.

The Hyuuga gave Ino a look that clearly said 'yeah right whatever you believe'. "Okay so that's why you're practically glaring daggers at the guy. Face it Ino you want Sakura to be happy, but you want her to be happy with you."

Those words seemed to slap Ino across the face, not realizing that they would affect her so much.

"You're not drunk are you?" The blonde asked knowing for a fact that Hinata would not be thinking rationally if she were drunk.

Hinata smirked at her friend taking another sip of her water. "Nope I just needed an excuse to talk to you about your feelings because god knows Sakura's way too damn shy to act on her own."

"Well she doesn't seem to be very shy right now what with that bastard grabbing her ass." Ino stated bitterly too depressed to enjoy herself.

"You really got it bad don't you?" Hinata rubbed Ino's back in comfort understanding how it feels to know that the one you love might not love you back. Of course Ino hadn't admitted to anything yet but in due time she would. It was easy to see the love and concern the two girls shared with each other, but both were too damn blind to see it.

"I don't have a crush on Sakura, I just can't." Ino muttered into her hands knowing that her fun night was officially ruined.

"Who says you can't?" Hinata questioned knowing how hard this must be for Ino to understand.

"Because it goes against how I was brought up and she's a girl. Plus she's my best friend." Ino responded trying to get her friend to understand her point of view.

"Who cares. All that matters is that you love her and that should be enough. Do you think it was easy for me to date Naruto knowing that my family hated him because of the Kyuubi? No but we both got through it together because our love was enough."

"But what if it's not enough?" Ino whispered feeling very vulnerable right now.

Hinata wrapped Ino in a tight hug and gently whispered in her ear. "Don't worry, because the love you and Sakura share is enough."

They held each other for a while as Ino slowly started to realize that maybe she did have a crush on her best friend. 'It can't be that bad having a crush on your best friend that's a girl and most likely is hundred percent straight. Yup not bad at all. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ME!!!!'

Ino's mind was a whirlwind of thoughts at the moment as she tried to grasp onto the fact that she had harbored more than friendly feelings for Sakura for god knows how long.

There was one question on Ino's mind and she had to ask it. "Hinata."

The other girl pulled away from her friend to look her in the eyes. "What is it?"

"Why do you think that Sakura and I are like that? You know, more than friends."

Hinata smiled lightly at Ino before turning to look at the people dancing. "At first I just thought you two were a friendship gone wrong. I truly believed that even after the Chuunin Exams because even though you two got past Sasuke you weren't as close as you'd used to be. Then that incident with Sakura four months ago completely shut her off from the world, she wouldn't even talk to Naruto that much! But then you two were forced to live together and for some reason you got through to her. Naruto and the rest of us tried for four months to get back the old Sakura and you managed to do it in less than a month."

Ino still looked at Hinata in confusion. "So Sakura has always been more comfortable talking to me about her problems than others. It's always been like that."

"Exactly! You go from being the best of friends, then to hating each other, and back to being the best of friends again. You didn't have to do anything except be there for her and she welcomed you back with open arms. Ino do you any idea how stubborn Sakura can be?"

Smiling to herself Ino couldn't help but agree with Hinata about Sakura's stubbornness. "Still that just shows how good of friends we are, not anything more."

"But isn't friendship the foundation of a healthy relationship?" Hinata retorted with a small smirk knowing she was slowly winning her case.

"Okay I give you that but I've never thought of Sakura as more than a friend." Ino shot back not liking the fact that she was slowly losing her battle.

"Then what was with the way you reacted when we played truth or dare? Ino you were practically raping Sakura with your eyes when she gave you that lap dance. Might I add you couldn't keep your hands off of her when it was your dare. I said just make out with her not grope her boobs and butt!"

"Okay so maybe I was a little caught up in the moment but that's it."

"Ino for the love, what about that kiss today! There was no one daring you to do it and if Sakura indeed started it then you could have just pulled away!"

"Yea but that was a....."

"Don't treat me like I'm stupid I've seen the looks you give each other when the other is not looking. I've noticed your hidden smiles and when you touch for no reason! Face it Ino you love Sakura!" Hinata shouted pounding this information into the blondes head.

Before Ino could yell back at Hinata the subject of their discussion just sat down next to Ino. "Man Ino you should have been out there it was a blast!" Sakura shouted her face red from dancing so much.

Suddenly Ino found it extremely difficult to speak as she watched the pinkette's skin glisten with sweat. 'God she looks so hot right now! STOP IT INO!!!! WE'RE TRYING TO PROVE TO HINATA THAT SHE'S WRONG!!!' She lectured herself but for some reason she couldn't break eye contact with the other girls body.

"*cough*Told you so.*cough*" Hinata coughed out making Ino turn to the other girl and glare at her.

"Hey hot stuff brought you your drink." The red head from earlier spoke. He was standing with two drinks in his hands and a light smile.

Now Ino was beyond pissed. "What the hell is he doing here?" She spat at her best friend who just shot her a glare.

"Ryo don't mind her she's just mad that I got a guy tonight." Sakura replied with a smile towards him.

Ino couldn't stop the hurt look that appeared on her face or the tears that slowly welled up in her eyes. Either Sakura didn't notice or didn't care because she let that bastard sit next to her. It wouldn't have been that bad but that would have been if he didn't put his arm around her shoulders.

'HE'S GOING TO FUCKING DIE!!!!!!' Ino screamed gripping the edge of the table really hard.

"You know Ino I have a friend here that might be your type. I mean if you're that upset about beautiful and me." Ryo said a little to cocky in Ino's opinion. Oh how she wanted to rip this guy apart for even considering him and her beautiful together.

Suddenly a song came on that Ino thought was very fitting to how she was feeling at the moment.

When all is said and done
And dead does he love you
The way that I do
Breathing in lightning
Tonight's for fighting
I feel the hurt so physical

"Don't worry about it I don't really want to associate with any of your friends." Ino replied hating every minute Sakura was close to this guy.

Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around come around no more
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around no more

Sakura looked at her friend in shock. "Ino quit being so rude. Ryo's only trying to help."

She spreads her love
She burns me up
I can't let go
I can't get out
I've said enough
Enough by now
I can't let go
I can't get out

Ino looked at Sakura in anger. "No he's only trying to get rid of me so that he can get in your pants. He's nothing but a manwhore."

Wait till the day you finally see
I've been here waiting patiently
Crossing my fingers and my t's
She cried on my shoulder begging please

"Ino what's up with you today? Why are you being so mean, I thought we were having fun earlier?" Sakura asked, not understanding why Ino was getting this upset over something like this.

Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around come around no more
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around no more

Ino laughed harshly before she looked Sakura directly in the eyes. "Do you really want me to answer that one for you?" Then she got up and started walking away.

She spreads her love
She burns me up
I can't let go
I can't get out
I've said enough
Enough by now
I can't let go
I can't get out

"Wait Ino! Don't leave like this!" Sakura yelled getting up to chase her friend when Ryo stopped her by grabbing her wrist.

What is it you really want
I'm tired of asking
You're gone I'm wasted

"And where do you think you're going, beautiful?" He replied with an evil smirk making Sakura realize that her friend was right about him. All he wanted was to get in her pants.

When I showed up and he was there
I tried my best to grin and bear
And took the stairs but didn't stop at the street
And as we speak I'm going down

"I'm going after my friend so let go!" Sakura shouted trying to get out of his grip, but he only tightened his hold on her.

Cause she spread her love
And burnt me up
I can't let go
I can't get out
I've said enough
Enough by now
I can't let go
I can't get out

"I don't think so. Besides I wasted too much time on you to let you just chase after your pmsing girlfriend." Ryo said getting up from his spot and towering over Sakura.

Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around come around no more
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around no more

"SHE SAID LET GO!!!" As the song came to an end a punch was thrown right across Ryo's face making him let go of Sakura and sending him into the table, breaking it in the process.

"Ino!" Sakura shouted out in surprise at seeing her best friend not only punch a guy across the face, but grab her hand and drag her out of the club.

Ryo wiped the blood from his cheek as a look of rage washed over his features. "They're so going to pay for that." He muttered getting up and chasing after them.

The server from earlier came over to their table with a grin on her face, but once she saw the destroyed table and blood her jaw dropped in shock. She looked at Hyuuga Hinata in shock. "What the hell happened here?"

Hinata sighed in frustration and slowly rubbed her tembles. "Just put it on my tab." She answered not really wanting to go into details. The server walked away as Hinata silently muttered to herself. "Oh the things I do for love."

---------------

"Ino where are we going?" Sakura yelled as they turned another sharp corner on the empty streets.

"You'll see." Ino shot back. Actually to be honest she had no idea where they were going, she just wanted to get as far away from Ryo as she could. There was something in his eyes as he was clutching Sakura's wrist that didn't seem right.

After a while all that running brought them to the Konoha park that they used to play at when they were younger. This park was also the place where they first met.

Sakura must have realized this too because she smiled at Ino and made her way over to the tree that the blonde found her at years ago. Slowly she lowered herself down to a sitting position at the spot where she cried her eyes out years ago.

Ino smiled back at Sakura as she made her way over to the girl so that she was standing in front of her. She leaned forward so that their faces were centimeters apart. Sky blue eyes stared directly into sparkling emerald as Ino did something that the two girls didn't do when they were younger.

Leaning closer Ino closed her eyes and gently kissed Sakura on her forehead. The young girl's eyes widened in surprise, but she found it to be a pleasant surprise, not a scary one.

The blonde pulled away from her forehead but still remained close to her face. Using her right hand Ino gently cupped Sakuras cheek smiling as the pinkette leaned into her touch. With her left hand the young Yamanaka ran her fingers through the Haruno's silky pink locks. Gently she ran her right thumb in slow circles, loving how peaceful the young woman in front of her looked.

It was then at that moment in time that Ino realized something about herself. She was head over heels in love with her best friend. Thinking about it now she cursed herself for being so stupid to not see it earlier.

"Sakura remember when you asked me if you were still a bud?" Ino asked out of the blue.

The pinkette shivered slightly as she felt Ino's hot breath on her face. She didn't trust her voice right now so she just nodded her head. She loved the way Ino was making her feel right now, it was unlike anything she'd ever experienced.

Ino leaned forward so that their foreheads were touching. She placed her left hand behind Sakura's head as she whispered to her friend. "You definitely blossomed into the most beautiful flower in the world."

Tears welled up in Sakura's eyes. Ino's words were so heartfelt that she believed every single word, but there was no reason for her to lie to Sakura though. "Ino-chan." Sakura whispered slowly leaning closer to the blonde's lips.

At first Ino was startled by her actions, but in the end it didn't matter for they were inches away from kissing. Both girls closed their eyes, but just as they were millimeters from kissing Sakura heard something in the trees.

It sounded like a whirling sound like........the pinkettes eyes widened in realization. "INO GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!!" Using her super strength Sakura pushed her friend away from her just as the fish wires with shurikens wrapped around the tree tieing Sakura to the trunk.

"SAKURA!!!" Ino screamed from her position on the ground. What could have gone so wrong? They were just about to kiss and then this happens.

A male's laughter echoed throughout the area making Ino take out a kunai and ready herself for the attack that was soon to come. She looked back to her friend. Blood leaked out from the cuts that were appearing due to the fish wires. The only spot that wasn't completely held down was Sakura's neck and head.

"Come out and show yourself you coward!" Ino stupidly shouted out. She heard Sakura gasp in pain as the wires slowly tightened around her body.

"Hahahahaha........I'm the coward? You're shaking so bad that its hard to believe your a ninja." A dark figure imerged from behind a tree. He slowly walked towards the light to reveal himself.

Ino gasped in surprise at the person, her eyes slowly narrowing after the shock died down. "You fucking bastard! You're a member of Sound!"

Ryo smirked evily at the young blonde. His Sound headband was wrapped around his upper left arm. His outfit changed a little what with his dress shirt only being buttoned on the bottom, showing off his nice chest. Also he changed his pants to black baggy pants with a weapon pouch strapped to his right leg.

Looking at him made Ino's skin boil. "So this whole time you were playing with Sakura! I will take so much pleasure in killing you! You piece of shit!"

"And what can you actually do without yelling? Not much I bet." Ryo taunted.

Just as Ino was about to lunge at him Sakura's voice made her stop. "INO!!......He's only trying piss you off. Don't let him get t........SHIT!!!!!" The pinkette cursed as a kunai was lodged into her left arm by Ryo.

"SAKURA!!" Ino screamed running to her friend, but as soon as she moved towards her the wires tightened, ripping into the girls skin.

"If I were you I'd stay away from her." Ryo explained bringing out another kunai.

"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO HER!" Ino screamed at the top of her lungs. She wanted to run to Sakura so bad but if she did the wires tightened.

Ryo shrugged his shoulders in a carefree manner. "It's nothing personal babe its just my mission. Bring Haruno Sakura to Sound alive." Then he brought the kunai up to his lips and licked it slowly in a sexual manner. "Though they never said anything about harming her."

Before Ino could respond Sakura beat her too it. The girl was panting slightly, the wires already cutting off some of her air. "What does Sound want with me?" She coughed up some blood and cursed herself for not seeing this earlier.

"Sasuke-sama requests you to bear his children. Since he already accomplished his other goals." Ryo explained pride in his voice.

Sakura glared at the red head her blood lust slowing raising. "I will NEVER bear that bastard's children!"

"Well you really have no choice in the matter, do you? Sasuke-sama is my leader so I will listen to his orders. Either we do this the easy way or the hard way. To be honest I really want it to be the hard way."

"Wait so Itachi's dead?" Ino asked not believing that Sasuke of all people could manage to kill someone who wiped out his entire clan.

"Yup and he easily killed Orochimaru too." Ryo finished with a huge grin at the Uchiha's victory.

"So Sasuke's in charge of Sound huh?" Sakura said more to herself than the others. This was great with Sasuke wanting her and him being in charge of Sound he would send a lot ninjas after her.

Suddenly another kunai was thrown at Sakura this time stabbing into her left side. The pinkette bit her bottom lip in order to stop herself from screaming out loud.

"Less talk more fight." Ryo stated disappearing and then reappearing in front of Ino. Caught off guard Ino couldn't block the punch to her stomach or the kunai slicing across her right arm. When he was about to kick her in the stomach, she grabbed his leg and threw him over her shoulder.

With cat like reflexes Ryo fliped over and landed on his feet. Quickly he did a couple of hand signs. "Fire Element, Dragon Flame Blast!" He covered his mouth with his right hand after this was done a stream of fire shot out pointed directly at Ino.

"Shit!" Ino cursed before she did a series of hand signs herself. "Earth Element, Earth Style Wall!" A huge piece of land shot up from the ground just in time to block the fire blast. As the earth was melting Ryo appeared out of nowhere and managed to punch Ino in the face, making her fly to the ground.

"INO!" Sakura shouted wincing when the wires tightened. 'Dammit I have to get out of here Ino's getting hurt! These wires are getting on my last nerve. I don't care what happens to me anymore so long as Ino-chan is safe.'

Summoning all her strength Sakura started pulling on the wires, biting her cheek to forget the searing pain. After a while though she was getting nowhere or so she thought.

The pinkette fell back against the tree looking down at her blood covered torso. Those cuts looked so nasty. They would only get worse once she pulls the wires out of her skin. She moved her hand toward her chest surprised when her hand easy slipped out. That's when an idea hit her full force.

Looking to her right Sakura realized that she pulled so hard the wires managed to carve into the tree. So once she stopped putting on force, the wires went back to normal giving her enough room to move. She figured it was because Sasuke-bastard told them to keep her alive.

Reaching for a kunai Sakura smiled when she found one inside her left boot. A ninja must always come prepared she recited in her head as she cut the wires that kept her to the tree. She healed the worst of her cuts but decided to leave the rest to save her chakra. When she stood up she staggered slightly due to both being a little drunk and blood loss. Not the greatest condition to be in but it would have to do.

Ryo was standing over Ino, who now was suffering from several cuts and bruises, ready to finish her off. "Looks like I was right you can't do anything except for yell. Maybe if you spent more time training instead of sleeping around then maybe you would have lasted more than ten minutes. Aw well I'm going to enjoy this." Ryo said in a mocking voice getting ready to stab Ino in the heart with a kunai.

But just as the blade was three feet from Ino's body another kunai managed to stab Ryo in the arm, making him drop his kunai. "FUCK!!!! Who did that!!" He shouted clutching his arm in pain.

Ino wasted no time in causing him more pain. With her left leg she kicked up and managed to land a hard blow on Ryo's private area. The red head screamed in pain again as Ino ran over to Sakura.

Both girls looked at each other's appearance, neither liking the injuries that the other sustained.

Before they could talk Ino wrapped Sakura up in her arms. "Are you okay?" she whispered in the pinkette's ear causing the other girl to blush a bright shade of red.

"I'm fine, but how are you?" Sakura answered as she hugged the blonde beauty back.

"It doesn't matter how I feel. All that matters is that you're alright." Ino stated breathing in the scent of Sakura's shampoo.

"RAIDEN WHERE ARE YOU!!!!!!!!!" Ryo shouted bringing the two girls out of their little world.

They turned their heads to see Ryo on his knees in pain. Then out of nowhere another boy appeared right beside him. The young man looked almost exactly like Ryo except that his hair color was an electric blue and it was sticking up in the back. Strangely it looked similar to a chickens ass which reminded both girls of Sasuke. He was wearing a blue button shirt that was opened at the top showing off his chest and blue baggy pants with a sword strapped to his side. What startled the girls most were his eyes which were a blood red instead of a normal color.

"YOU IDIOT YOU LET HER ESCAPE!!!" Ryo screamed at the other boy.

The blue haired boy flinched at the tone in his voice. "Nii-san I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention and......." Before he could finish Ryo punched him in the face.

"WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION!!! RAIDEN IF WE CAN"T CAPTURE HER SASUKE-SAMA WILL HAVE OUR HEADS!!!" Ryo stood up and towered over his younger brother.

"I'm sorry!!!" Raiden cried out not really wanting to get his ass kicked again by his older brother. He just stopped watching the girl for a minute and she managed to escape. Dammit she was going to pay for making a fool out of him.

"Whatever. You're just lucky that I need you alive. Now lets just get this mission over with." Ryo stated disappearing into thin air again with his brother following right behind him.

Quickly Sakura got into a defense position. "Ino stay on your guard. We have to last till ANBU gets here."

"Hahahaha.......you mean those ninja that I already disposed of." Raiden said appearing right behind Sakura. He unsheathed his sword and was about to stab her when Ino got in the way. She managed to block the blow with the kunai in her hand but she wasn't sure how long she was going to last.

'Dammit I'm not a close range fighter. Arg! This is such a drag. Great now I'm starting to sound like Shikamaru.' Ino thought in her head as she slide to the side to avoid the shuriken being thrown at her. 'Shit! How the hell am I supposed to fight when the only thing I have is long-ranged jutsus. This wouldn't be a problem if Shikamaru and Chouji were here. They give me all the time I need in order to perform my jutsu, but there's no way I can do it with Sakura.'

All of a sudden a huge fireball was sent their way. Almost as if its second nature Sakura did some very fast hand signs and shouted. "Water Style: Waterbullet Jutsu." A huge ball of water, the same size as the fireball, appeared right in front of the girls and collided with the fireball. Steam covered the area giving the girls enough time to come up with a plan.

Sakura quickly turned to Ino with a serious look on her face. "Okay Ino, I know I'm not as smart as Shikamaru but I came up with a plan."

Ino nodded her head in confirmation, allowing Sakura to go on. "Now the plan is to get rid of one of them because their is no way we can defeat both at the same time. I know that you're a long-range fighter and I'm a close-range fighter so that works perfectly. Ino I want you to hide really well and wait for the right moment to use your mind confusion jutsu."

That was when Ino decided to put her two cents in. "Why not use my mind transfer jutsu?"

"Remember the last time we fought someone from Sound?" Sakura waited for Ino to nod her head before she went on. "In the end the teammates didn't give a rats ass about each other and you managed to get hurt. Also the chance of you missing one of them is even greater without Shikamaru. So we should play it safe till help arrives."

Ino did agree with what Sakura was saying. She remembered all to well when she took over Kin's body and was almost killed by the girl's so-called teammates. When she thought of that her eyes quickly glanced at Sakura's hair. Even to this day she couldn't believe that she cut her hair off to protect her teammates. Well actually thinking of the Sakura standing in front of her now made her believe it. Never in her life at the time did she witness someone so willing to sacrifice something so important to them.

"So what do you plan on doing?" Ino asked her best friend.

Sakura smirked confidently before she responded. "Me? Well I'm going to go up against them one on two."

Her mouth dropping in surprise Ino couldn't help but shout out. "Are you kidding they'll kill you!"

"Shhhhhhh.........Relax I've got this under control. I'm used to this so don't worry."

"Sakura you're injured and a little bit drunk. That's not really the best thing to do. Besides we don't even know what the other guy's abilities are! How can we fight half assed like that?"

"Ino we have no choice in the matter. It's only you and me here fighting for our lives. Either we put up a fight like true kunoichi of the Leaf Village or die like cowards. Are you a coward?" Sakura retorted trying to bring back her friend's fighting spirit.

"Of course not! I'm a kunochi of the Leaf Village." Ino responded without even thinking.

"Good, then now hide." Sakura ordered lightly pushing Ino away from her and towards the trees.

Ino started walking away from Sakura, but she stopped suddenly and looked back at her friend.

"Hey forehead."

"What." Sakura shot back glancing at her friend in confusion.

"If you manage to die I'll never forgive you." Then with that she turned away from her.

"Same to you!" Sakura shouted back.

Both girls smiled to themselves preparing for the upcoming fight. Sakura stood proudly as the steam started to clear. 'As long as Ino's safe my life doesn't matter. I'll protect her with my life.'

Ino slowly went into a crouching position to make herself disappear. She decided to hide behind a huge bush, thinking that she wouldn't be seen as easily if she hid behind a tree. 'I'll never forgive myself if Sakura gets hurt. I better end this soon. Don't worry Saku I'll protect you with my life.'

Finally the steam cleared up revealing the pinkette to the two brothers. "Lets get this party started." Sakura replied before all three shinobi disappeared into thin air.
