"S...Sasuke..?" Ino said, as Sasuke had her pinned against the refrigerator. He leaned his head closer to hers. "You're not leaving me..." He aggressively whispered, and he pressed harder on her stomach, causing her to wince. "Stop it!" She yelled, but Sasuke slammed his hand across her mouth. Ino's eyes widened. She struggled to get free, but Sasuke continued to hold her down. "You won't leave me Ino...I swear it...I have a secret on you..." He said, with a smirk. Ino's eyes softened, and she felt a wave of fear ache through her body.

"Why is he saying this...?"

Sasuke smirked again, and chuckled. He pressed his lips up to hers tightly, and she winced, but gave in.

Naruto yawned, and stretched, as she walked down the hallway, to the kitchen.

Ino's eyes widened..She heard footsteps coming nearby..Her hair was down now, and Sasuke was kissing her neck. His hand was no longer on her mouth, but now on her waist. Even though she was enjoying it, she had to get out of this situation fast. "S-Sasuke-Kun...Stop.." She whispered, tilting her head down a bit to let him hear her better. He went lower, to her collar bone, biting from time to time, sending chills down her spine.. "Sasuke.." She said again, a bit louder. He still refused to break this moment, and moved to the side- her shoulder. The footsteps got closer, and Ino got tense, more than she already was. She got frustrated, and shoved him away. He stumbled back a few feet in front of her, and simply stared, but his face soon filled with anger."What the fuck are you doing?" Sasuke shouted to her, waving his hands in front of him.

"Uhm...Sorry...I'll just...Go..." Naruto said, as he stood in the doorway, with an empty glass. Ino's glance fell over to Naruto. "No- It's okay, don't go! " She said, forcing a smile. "Here-gimme." She said, reaching her hand out. "I'll wash it." Naruto's eyebrow went up, and he slowly held the empty glass out in front of him. "Uhm...Thanks..?" He said, as he turned around and left. Ino walked over to the sink, and set the glass in the bottom. She turned around and leaned against the counter, and stared at Sasuke. She was nervous, and a bit frightened.

Sasuke stood, staring at the floor. His facial expression made it clear that thoughts were racing back and forth through his head. He didn't look at her anymore that morning...And they avoided each other, in an akward silence..


"Hyuga Hinata!"

"Here, Sensei!"

"Kiba!"

"Here.."

"Aburame Shino!"

"Eh..."

Iruka flipped a page in his role book...

"Hyuga Neji!"

"Here!"

"Nara Shikamaru!"

"Yeah..."

"Uzamaki Naruto!"

"Believe it!"

"Haruno Sakura!"

"Present!"

"Yamanaka Ino!"

"Here!"

"Uchiha Sasuke!"

"Here.."

Iruka slammed his book closed, and stood up at his desk. He crossed his arms with a huge grin on his face. "Welcome, class! Today, we'll be taking an exam, to see how much you've actually learned this year! Kakashi and I, will be watching over you to make sure none of you cheat..." He trailed off, as he began to glare at Naruto. Naruto's face went red, as everyone stared at him, and small contained laughs went around the room. Naruto stood up in his seat.."Hey, old man! You got a bone to pick with me!?" He yelled, slamming his hand on his desk. Iruka's face filled with anger. "OLD MAN??" Iruka yelledslamming his hand on his desk. Naruto chuckled, "Yeah, OLD! OLD, OLD, OLD! Just like Kurenai thinks your to old for her, so stop asking her out!" He said, laughing, causing the class to laugh also.

Iruka's face turned blue, and his eyes widened..."How...How did you..." He said, but was interupted by Tenten yelling, " It's so obvious, Sensei! You blush, and get all..." She began to wave her arms around, "Nervous, when she comes around! And plus, Shino and Kiba tell us everyday at lunch time about all the mushy gushy things you say to her!" She finished, laughing. Iruka's glare left Tenten, and went to Kiba and Shino. The two's eyes widened, and they sunk down in their chairs...

Naruto laughed, "Yeah! Like, 'Kurenai...I think about you night and day...Your beautiful crimson eyes are the window into my love for you!" He said, making the laughter in the room rise. Iruka's eye twitched. "SHUT UP YOU!!" He said, leaping half way across the table, but Kakashi pounced on top of him, struggling to keep him calm. "I--Iruka! We can't attack the students!! Settle down!" Kakashi yelled, holding the angry sensei down. Iruka began to sob, "How do they all know?!" He said, crying, barely audioble.."Uhm...Well...I don't know, Iruka...Maybe you shouldn't go after her just yet..Eh?" He said, trying to be comforting, which wasn't exactly helping.."Just...Let's continue, okay?" He said, pulling Iruka to his feet, and forcing him to sit in his seat.

Kakashi cleared his throat, and began to speak, " Okay class, we'll just go ahead and get started! Neji...Will you pass out the papers. please?" He said, walking back beside Iruka, who had his head down on his desk. Neji stood up from his seat. "Yes, Sensei." He said politely, and walked down to Iruka's desk, and picked up the stack of papers, and began to pass them out.

"Pssst...Ino!" Sakura whispered, waving her arms at Ino. Ino glanced over at her, with an odd look on her face..."What is it..?" Ino whispered, getting a bit annoyed. Sakura smiled, and held her arm out, with a folded note in her hand. "Here! Read it and write me back." She said, shaking her hand a bit. Ino looked over to Kakashi and Iruka, who weren't paying any attention to them, and she reach her hand out and grabbed the note. She opened it up , and began to read..

Ino-Pig,

Okay..I need major help with Sasuke! What do I do?? I really like him! I think...Well, I may

sound stupid...but I think I'm in love! Seriously! He's soooo dreamy! I swear, I'd KILL

any stupid whore that tried to steal him away from me! Anyway, about the Neji thing...

I'm breaking up with him today!

eek! g2g, Iruka's gone mad!

Love Sakura.

Ino was filled with anger...She clutched the note in her hand...And gave Sakura a glare, who was flirting with Neji, like nothing was even happening..But she was no better...Shikamaru was sitting next to her, hugging up against her...kissing her from time to time..

She took peaks back at Sasuke...Who was staring at her...Constantly...Normally, she'd be flattered...But now...It made her scared...
