Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

Ino sighed as she searched for Naruto. For her plan to work on Sasuke, Naruto was the only one that she could use. She couldn't use another girl; for fear that Sasuke might like them. Naruto was the perfect candidate, being that he probably knew Sasuke the most, since they were on the same team, and because they were really close, best friends type close.

"It's the only way to get Sasuke-kun to fall in love with me! I'll just simply posses Naruto's body, and tell Sasuke that I love him. While Sasuke is shocked, and very disgusted at the fact that a boy liked him, (thinking its Naruto telling him) I'll run off in Naruto's body, and then come back in my own, and comfort Sasuke! It'll work perfectly! It's so flawless, I'm actually proud of myself for thinking of such an amazing idea!" Ino giggled as she searched for Naruto.

"Come on Naruto! Where are you? Oh! There he is!" Ino said to herself as she approached Ichiraku. She should have known Naruto was always there! It was around lunch time, and that would normally mean Naruto went to go get lunch, since he barely knew how to cook anything but instant ramen, which wasn't really cooking because all you had to do was pour hot water into the instant ramen cup.

'Is ramen the onlything Naruto eats'?' Ino wondered. Oh boy, if she only knew.

"Hi Naruto!" Ino said as she sat down next to Naruto. Trying to be cheerful and nice, but failing quickly. Naruto blinked and starred at her as he kept eating his ramen. He and Ino never really spoke to each other. So why was she doing this now? It only meant that she wanted something from him. Whatever it was, Naruto was not going to give it to her.

"What do you want Ino?" Naruto asked. He didn't really mind Ino though, they had become friends after they took the chuunin exams together the second time and both passed. He just hated when people took time from him eating his precious ramen.

"Naruto, I'm sorry about this. But it has to be done! I really hope you won't be angry with me after this!" Ino said as she began performing her Shintenshin no jutsu.

"Huh? Sorry about what Ino?" Naruto asked as Ino's body fell limp and unconscious onto the counter. Ino, who was now in Naruto's body, jumped up in happiness. She was ready to put her plan into action.

"Yes! This is definitely going to work! Now, off to find Sasuke-kun." Ino ran as fast as she could away from. She didn't want to leave her body lying there for too long. No telling what would happen. Or who would touch it. Then again, the owner of Ichiraku would probably think she fainted, and send her body to the hospital.

'Sasuke? Where are you Sasuke?' Ino thought to herself. This time of day, Sasuke would probably be taking a break to eat from his daily training. However, she had no clue as to where he would be.

"Hey!" Ino yelled out and pointed at Kiba, she was trying her best to act like Naruto, so no one would be suspicious.

"Kiba, do you know where that Sasuke-kun is?"

"Naruto, are you feeling okay? You're acting a little weird." Kiba responded.

"I'm fine! Where's Sasuke?" Ino tried asking again. Hoping that Kiba would mind his own business and just tell 'Naruto' where Sasuke was.

"He's in the forest training. I think he's eating lunch right now." Before Kiba could say anything else, Ino went running towards the forest. She had to get to Sasuke before he began his training again.

"Sasuke!" Ino yelled out. Sasuke looked up from his meal to stare at 'Naruto'. The blue-eyed ninja seemed a bit happy today.

"What is it dobe?" He asked calmly.

"Well, I...uh...Sasuke, the thing is, that I...I love you." Ino muttered out, the last three words were hard to understand. She knew her plan would work, she was just nervous for some reason. There was no way it would backfire. It wasn't as if Sasuke loved Naruto back, or anything weird like that.

"What?" Sasuke asked. He was unable to understand the babble of 'I love you'.

"I said...that, I love you! I have for so long! Since we were 12. I was just too nervous to tell you. I thought you'd hate me, or be disgusted at the fact that I, a boy, love you. And I know I'm hated by so many people in this village, so I didn't know how you'd react…I'm sorry, you hate me now don't you?" Ino said, jumping against Sasuke in attempt to hug him.

Sasuke starred at 'Naruto' in disbelief. Did he actually confess his love? It was about time! They were 15-year-old Chuunin. They knew each other since they were in the Academy. And now, Naruto was finally confessing his love.

Ino smiled. The plan had worked! Sasuke was surprised, and most likely disgusted. So now, all she had to do was wait until the boy broke down, and then she could run back to her body, and come back as herself to comfort him.

'Ha! Take that Sakura! Sasuke is all mine now.' She said to herself.

"It's about time dobe." Sasuke replied, smirked, walking closer to 'Naruto', causing Ino to blink in confusion.

"W...what?" Ino said. What was wrong with Sasuke? Why was he starring at 'Naruto' with such love and happiness? What was going on?

Suddenly, and surprisingly, Sasuke wrapped his arms around 'Naruto's' body.

"I love you too dobe. I have for a long time, but I never told you, because I thought I'd never stand a chance with you." Sasuke said.

Sasuke had cared for, or rather, loved Naruto for quite some time. However, there was no way he was going to be the first to confess. It just wasn't in his personality to do so. But he wanted to let Naruto know so badly. He already knew that Naruto felt some sort of attraction toward him. It was so obvious, and it was cute how Naruto was trying to hide it. Sasuke couldn't help but think how cute it was. Naruto tried so hard to keep it a secret, and he was failing badly. Which was the whole reason why Sasuke started to throw some hints towards Naruto, but the dobe was so naïve when it came to love. He didn't pick up on any of the signs; instead he thought Sasuke was just very friendly.

Ino's eyes widened as her brain processed what Sasuke had just said.

'What...No, Sasuke didn't...NO! It can't be true! He loves Naruto? Why would he love Naruto...what's to love about Naruto?' Ino asked herself as she starred wide-eyed at the Uchiha boy. She couldn't believe it. She just couldn't believe it! How could Sasuke love Naruto?

Ino's eyes widened at Sasuke's response. Her mouth, or rather Naruto's, opened and closed many times in attempt to say something. She tried to say something, but the shock was just too much for her.

Ino felt Sasuke tighten his hold on Naruto's body, pulling him closer. Ino melted in his embrace, completely forgetting that she was in Naruto's body. Her mind almost shut down. She always wanted Sasuke to embrace her, to feel his warm body against hers. Sasuke rubbed his hands over the other shinobi's back, rubbing up and down gently.

"Sasuke, I'm so happy!" Ino said, completely forgetting everything. She just loved the feeling of Sasuke's arms. She nuzzled into the Uchiha's neck. "So, does this mean we're going out now?" Ino asked. It was her dream-come true! She was finally going out with Sasuke.

"Whatever you want, Naruto," Sasuke replied, pulling 'Naruto' closer'. At this, Ino's eyes widened. She pulled away from Sasuke so quickly that she fell to the ground. She starred at Sasuke for a few moments before running off.

"Naruto, wait!" Sasuke yelled. He sighed as he watched the boy run off quickly. What was wrong with him?

"Dobe...you must be shy. Well, that's okay, it'll be gone soon." Sasuke said to himself as he ran after his new boyfriend. Boyfriend. Heh, who would have ever thought the great Uchiha was gay? Then again, how could anyone think he wasn't? He had a choice of so many girls. Yet, since the beginning, he only liked Naruto. When he was still a Genin, and still being trained by Kakashi, he didn't really talk to Sakura, and it was Naruto's life he saved.

[Scene Break]

'No, no, NO! Now Naruto's going out with Sasuke, and he doesn't even know. He's going to kill me! And...damn it! I'm the one who loves Sasuke. Not Naruto!'

When she reached Ichiraku she quickly performed her jutsu for the last time, before running off again. She didn't even stay to explain anything to Naruto, she was way too embarrassed. And she knew it would be too difficult to explain to Naruto anyway.

"Huh...what happened?" Naruto sat up quickly. What had happened? He couldn't even remember. All he remembered was Ino mumbling some jutsu, and then everything went black. And now, all he saw was Ino running away in a panic.

Sasuke approached Naruto, panting slightly as he slowed his jog to a walk, and stopped in front of the confused blonde

"Dobe, why did you run off like that?" Sasuke asked him. Naruto starred at him, confused. He had been sitting there the whole time...eating his ramen. Sure, he blacked out, but not for long...right?

"Run off? I didn't run off!" Naruto yelled, standing up.

"Don't play games with me dobe." Sasuke replied in annoyance, crossing his arms against his chest.

"Games? What are you talking about! I'm not playing games! Damn it Sasuke-teme, I don't even know what you're talking about. I was just sitting here, eating ramen, and you're bothering me now!" Naruto said, clenching his fists in annoyance.

"You're shy aren't you? Yes, that's it. It's kind of...cute." Sasuke said softly. He placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder, in attempt to calm him. Naruto looked at the hand. It was moving slightly, in a comforting manner.

"Uh, Sasuke?" Naruto began, his eyes shifted over to Sasuke's 'comforting' hand, which was now gripping onto his shoulder, his fingers grabbing the cloth of Naruto's shirt.

"It's okay, dobe," Sasuke whispered as he leaned into Naruto. Sasuke was so close, that Naruto was able to feel the taller boys' breath on his cheek. What was Sasuke going to do? Naruto's heart was pounding in his chest. Why was he so nervous?

Sasuke's hand went from Naruto's shoulder, to his cheek, which he began to stroke lovingly.

"What's okay?" Naruto asked nervously.

"The shyness will go away with time." Sasuke responded to the blond boy.

"S...Sasuke?" Naruto asked calmly as Sasuke placed his lips against Naruto's. It was a quick kiss, and very gentle, filled with love and admiration. Before Naruto could even respond Sasuke pulled away.

"Wha...Sasuke, why did you...?" Naruto was puzzled. He and Sasuke had kissed only once before, and that was by accident. But now, it sure didn't seem like an accident, and Naruto highly doubted that it was. Why would Sasuke want to kiss him? And why so suddenly?

"It's okay dobe...I mean, we are going out now."
