Secret Friends: Chapter 10
Ino's WHAT!?
Disclaimer: I own nothing but this odd idea that came to me.
A/n This is about six months after Ino and Sakura broke up. It's late November, early December.
Naruto shoved his hands further in his pockets as the cold surrounded him. Sasuke had to stay after school today to talk to the teacher so Naruto waited for him. He pulled his coat tighter around him and was thankful he wore the hat Iruka had bought him from his honeymoon with Kakashi. Naruto was lost in thought when he heard someone calling him. He looked up to see Ino.
" Naruto. I need your help!" Ino stated in a serious manner.
" Why should I help you after what you did to Sakura?" Naruto scowled.
" Because I know you're not that petty and because it's important," She looked close to crying.
" What is it, Ino?" Naruto took his hands out of his pockets and placed them on her shoulders.
" I... I... I'm...I'm Pregnant," She said and then burst out crying.
" Oh dear," Naruto hugged her and patted her back.
" What do I do? I can't tell my dad. He'll kill me and Shikamaru bailed on me when I told him. He said he wasn't ready to be a dad. If I could prove it was his call him. Oh my god!" Ino cried.
Sakura...
Sakura held Temari's hand tight for the warmth. Even though they were dating now they had never kissed or even gotten over the first date awkwardness. They walked to where Naruto was waiting for Sasuke to talk to him. That's when they saw Ino.
" What's Ino doing talking to Naruto?" Temari asked.
" I don't know but it looks like she's crying," Sakura pulled Temari over to them.
She is crying. I wonder why. Maybe it serves her right for hurting me. No That's wrong, never wish bad on others. Sakura strode up to them and looked at Naruto.
" What's wrong Ino?" She asked kindly.
" Sakura! Oh I was just talking to Naruto about something. I'll message you later Naruto. Thanks," She hugged him again and left.
" Why was she crying Naru- Chan?" Sakura asked.
" I can't tell you. She will when she's ready," Naruto said.
Temari slipped an arm around Sakura who indulged in the warmth it provided.
" Let's go home," She smiled.
" Hot chocolate awaits," Sakura smiled.
" Lead the way," Temari laughed.
" Bye Naruto," they yelled as they walked away.
Naruto...
Naruto could not believe what Ino had just told him. She was only seventeen. He had to find a way to help her, had to talk to her. He would wait for her message. Then his phone buzzed. There was a text.
Naruto, Thanks for listening to me. I know you want to help so can we talk to Iruka. I'd feel much better if you were there.
Thanks Ino.
Naruto smiled and answered yes. He looked up from his cellphone that he held in his gloved hands to see Sasuke walking towards him. He smiled as his boyfriend kissed him gently while wrapping his arms around his waist. Naruto wrapped his arms around Sasuke's neck. They smiled when they broke apart. The tips of their noses touching. Silently, hand in hand, they walked to Naruto's house. When they got there they found a note from Iruka and Kakashi that they would be late from work. Naruto boiled water for Hot chocolate remembering Sakura's idea. Sasuke smiled as he watched his dobe move around the kitchen silently. He snuck up behind him and hugged his body to his.
" I love dobe," He smiled against Naruto's hair.
" I love you too, Teme," Naruto murmured closing his eyes and taking in the wamth.
Sasuke kissed the back of Naruto's neck gently, Leaving the whispered ghost of a shiver behind. Naruto concentrated on the water waiting for it to boil. He smiled as Sasuke swayed a little as if some silent song was playing and they were dancing a little. Naruto saw the bubbles rising to the surface and told Sasuke he would make the drinks now. Sasuke let him go so he could. They sat together on the couch and drank their hot chocolate while watching television. Naruto's cellphone vibrated again and he answered it. It was a text from Ino saying she would come tomorrow after school. Naruto sent a reply saying okay. Sasuke looked at him curiously when he read the message but Naruto shook his head. Iruka and Kakashi came home just in time for dinner which Naruto made. Sasuke said goodbye to Naruto and got ready to leave.
" Oh Sasuke it's cold. Won't you stay for dinner and I can drive you home later," Iruka offered
Sasuke smiled hesitantly but accepted. He sat next to Naruto and smiled as a plate was set before him. He ate silently listening to the conversation buzz around him.
" So Sasuke, How was your day today," Iruka smiled kindly at him.
" Well it was kind of boring. I mean I learned and all but other than that it was uneventful," He answered honestly.
" Well this Saturday we are having a family night out to a restaurant and a movie. We were wondering if you would like to come with us?" Kakashi grinned.
" Uhmmmm that sounds like a good idea. Thanks!" Sasuke blushed.
He had never been out with a family before. This should be interesting enough. When dinner was done Iruka offered to drive Sasuke home, which he gracefully accepted because it was now snowing out.
Naruto helped Kakashi clean up and then got ready for bed. He drifted off to sleep and dreamed about Sasuke.
The Next Afternoon...
" Thanks so much Naruto," Ino said as she walked next to him.
Sasuke was on his other side clueless as ever. He kept quiet though. When they got there Iruka was cooking. He smiled when he saw them.
" Hey kids. How's it going?" He asked.
" Ino needs to tell you something," Naruto announced,
" Well what is it?" Iruka kindly asked.
" I want to tell you because I know you won't freak out or judge me. I need to tell you I am pregnant by Shikamaru," Ino informed him.
He stepped away from the stove and hugged her. She smiled at him.
" I know you and Kakashi might want a baby and I decided to give it to you guys because I can trust you. I mean look at how well Naruto has been brought up," Ino said.
" I feel honored that you would feel this way. But are you absolutely sure it's what you want?" Iruka looked at her.
" Yes. I am to young and I know if it stays with you then I cans till visit. Right?" Ino smiled.
Sasuke finally understood all the secretiveness yesterday.
" If it's what you want we will accept your offer," Iruka said as Kakashi smiled behind him.
" Thank you so much," She cried.
" It is absolutely no problem at all," The men said.
" Well I should get home," Ino shouldered her bag.
She stood to leave and when she was gone Iruka hugged Kakashi close.
" Now we'll have to babies," He smiled at Naruto.
" Awww. I'm not a baby," He protested.
Kakashi smiled over Iruka's head and the boys settled in for dinner again.
