3 Weeks Pass...

My team and I start to near the village. I see a blur with blonde hair. Shikamaru speaks. "Is that Ino?"

I nodded. "I think so. But who would she be greeting here today? Neji has Tenten, you have Temari and I know that she doesn't like me, I know it."

We walked through the gates and Ino came over to me. She was smiling. I smiled back. "Hey Naruto, how was your mission?"

"Good. But Ino-chan why are you here?" Her smile wasn't as bright now.

"I was thinking about what you said a few weeks ago." Ino was rocking back and forth on her feet.

"And?"

"Well, I was wondering if we could go on a date, like the one you asked me on a year ago."

"Okay Ino-chan!" She smiled. "I'll pick you up soon. Just let me get ready."

"Okay! I'll get ready then." She ran off, and all I could do was smile. I got what I wanted.

Time Passy Thingy

Thought it took so long I got what I wanted. I got the girl of my dreams. We married and boy was if a huge event! Practically everyone from town was there. Ino said there was nothing wrong with people, even if we didn't know them that great, to celebrate our new found happiness. Because Ino had made so much time pass before she let her feelings out, we had a little tension, but we loved each other so much that the tension was good. It gave us both, the loud mouthed blondes, room to ourselves and room to grow on each other. And our love seemed endless. We never seemed to fight, not once during our engagement or first year of marriage, and that was fine. We did get in a few disputes, but we solved those quickly and learned to get used to them. Ino loved me and I loved her. We were a match made in heaven and everyone knew that. I was happy I was forced to wait, otherwise I don't think we'd be in as deep of a love that we are today.

This love came at prices, some good and bad.

The first price I had to pay was losing Ino to Shikamaru.

The second price was a harder one to pay. It hurt many of the people in the village. The second price was losing my best friend for her.

The third price I had to pay for her was letting her grow, and leaving her to do that, with out me. This one killed me the most.

It seemed that the fourth price was the hardest to pay because, I had the chance to tell her how I felt but I didn't. I just told her the truth, that I was here and if she ever needed anything I was here. But 

because I left her when she was open and alone I gave her the chance to fall in love with me; and that was truly all I wanted, was for her to fall in love with me.

Time was all that she needed, so that's what's I have her. I did not want to have had to wait long, but I did anyway. I waited and waited and finally got what I wanted, but it came at a price, I price that upset me to pay.

Time, my worst enemy, but at the same time my best friend. Time...time.

So..tell me what you thought. I hoped you liked it, i can't wait to write the sequel. i hope you will stay tuned for that, because, well it has the remaining ideas from this story. heh...wow...anyway..thanks again for reading! please review! Luv Ya!
