Ino chewed on her lips and fussed with her silky blond locks of hair while watching the door of the barbeque house for Choji and Shikamaru. It had been close to a month since her and Sakura had agreed to come out to their close friends. However, neither of them had mustered the courage to do it yet. Earlier in the week the two of them had made a bet over who would do it first. The winner would be the first to try out the dildo that Sakura had crafted through some ingenious ninjustu combinations. The blonde had declared three days ago that she would most definitely win. Now she was having second thoughts, wondering if submitting to Sakura's fucking would be preferable to divulging her greatest secret. She sighed and pushed the cowardly thought from her mind, scolding herself for the moment of weakness. She began bracing herself as the door opened to allow Choji's large frame to pass through it. Behind him was Shikamaru, his faced pinched into a grimace of boredom. The two boys took a few minutes to find where she was sitting and order some pork to be brought there.

When the boys were settled enough that Shikamaru had begun to whine about the stresses of his job and Choji was dutifully surveying the cooking pork, Ino quietly cleared her throat. Both boys focused most of their attention on her. She summoned her courage and began speaking. "Guys, I have something really important, but also really dangerous for me, to tell you. You have to swear to keep it among the twelve genin around our age." She waited for both boys to swear and then continued. "You remember that bet from a couple months ago, right Shikamaru? Well I fulfilled my end of it, and well Sakura liked me as well. Now we are together. We want to spread the word, but not to bigots or either of our patents. I was hoping that you guys could help us spread the word. Just among our close friends, though." She finished, looking at the two boys who just looked at each other with a stupid grin spread across their faces.

"Don't worry Ino, we'll keep it quiet among friends. Congrats though, things really turned out well for you though. I bet you're glad you lost the bet, huh?" Shikamaru said, feeling triumphant. Ino almost yelled at him, but instead she bit her lips closed and glared at him. By the look on Shikamaru's face, though, it looked like it only sweetened his victory.

"I hope things work out for you two, but I'll do my best to make things less socially complicated. Tell Sakura that she can always come to me for help and support when it comes to dealing with you." Choji grinned, dishing the barbeque onto the plates as unevenly portioned as the others would allow. All three ate and chatted of idle things, soothing Ino's stress until she was fully relaxed

Naruto where are you taking me?" Hinata asked mildly as she trailed behind Naruto.

"You'll see when we get there." Naruto replied leading her into the denser part of the forest. He guided her through a confuddled maze of small trails and passes. Just as Hinata began to get hopelessly lost, Naruto stepped around a bush and allowed her to see a small clearing that had been hewn from the woods. Strung around the trees were unlit paper lanterns. In the light of dusk, she could see a table big enough to comfortably seat two. Naruto quickly escorted her to the chair on the left. She smiled and thanked him. He nodded to her and moved to the middle of the clearing. He went through tiger and snake hand signs and then all the lanterns lit up. They cast a dull, vaguely red, glow about the clearing, illuminating just enough to clearly see the table. Naruto moved from the center of the clearing the table and sat facing Hinata. "I know that I said once that our dates wouldn't involve Ichiraku's , but he was the only one that I could think of that would do this." He said with an apologetic half smile. Hinata smiled back at him, speechless. She'd never the blond boy to do something so special just for her. Just as she was regaining her voice,, the jingling of bells was heard from beyond the clearing. It grew closer until footsteps and heavy breathing were heard as well. After a few minutes Teyuchi emerged carrying a portable ramen stove. Behind him his daughter emerged carrying two five gallon water jugs. The old man ser the stove down and began messing with a few of the valves and dials before he struck a match and lit the flame below the cooking plate

Ayame poured water from one of the jugs into two of the four pots. The old man fanned the first flame to perfect temperature then began working below the second pot. His daughter put two screening nets into the pots and then walked over to Naruto and Hinata.

"What'll it be you two?" She asked sweetly.

"An order of pork ramen for me and some miso ramen for the lady if you please." Naruto ordered, hoping that Hinata didn't mind him speaking for him. He glanced over at her, finding wonder and exitment etched into the features of her face. Her smiled at her as the young woman returned to her father and the now heated grill. Both the old man and the young woman began pulling ingredients from the cupboards below the pots in the stove and kneading them together to make dough. When the dough was satisfactory, it was put through a strainer that cut it into smaller strands. These noodles were dumped into the pots with seasonings. Teyuchi left Ayame to watching the noodles while her began grilling the pork and Naruto for the ramen. A few minutes later the young woman carried the bowls with chop sticks over to the table. Both Naruto and Hinata thanked her before breaking the sticks apart and beginning to eat. Naruto and Hinata chatted lightly between mouthfuls, discussing small gossipy rumors that had been passed around before that brought up a subject that they got more engrossed in.

"Ino and Sakura together? No way, I asked Sakura about that she said," He paused to take a mouthful of ramen. "that they were just friends."

"Well I heard it from Kiba, who said that Choji told him, it sounded more like they wanted to keep things quiet. Apparently they only want the three squads from our class and Gai's squad to know." Hinata answered.

"I guess it would make sense, but that means Sakura would have lied to me. Why would she do that? Its not like she can't trust me." He pondered aloud.

"Maybe she was just scared. Not everyone is as accepting as you, and her parents don't seem to be the most understanding people. She could have been afraid to tell anyone in case her parents would find out." Hinata interjected, blowing on the noodles she had wrapped around her utensils.

"That makes sense." Naruto answered with sudden realization. "You're so smart!" He praised the small girl.

"I'm not, really." She protested, her face turning beet red.

"You are, but now I'm kinda wondering what changed, ya know. Why did they decide to come out now?" Naruto questioned, staring into her bowl thoughtfully.

"Well, Ino is so flamboyant sometimes, maybe she is tired of hiding behind closed doors or not being able to talk about her relationship. So she could have convinced Sakura to come out to us, but no one else so that she would someone to talk to or so she could be affectionate around someone." Hinata replied.

"Geez, you know so much! How do you figure all this stuff out?" Naruto asked, awed by her knowledge.

"It's really not that impressive. I just listen to people and try to remember and understand what they say. Then I just put the pieces together to figure things out. Its like a big puzzle." She answered, beginning to eat again to avoid talking, Naruto drained his bowl of ramen broth before her responded.

"That sounds so difficult, though. That must be so much to remember." Naruto rubbed his head while she finished her ramen.

"Its not really difficult, its really easy after a few days." Hinata deflected.

Naruto stood up and pulled out his wallet, he took the bowls to the portable stove that the Ichirakus were feverishly packing up. He passed the contents of his wallet to the oldman and said good night. He walked back to the table and offered his hand to Hinata. She stood and took his hand. He took her back the path they had followed to the clearing, this time much more slowly than they had previously traveled. "You know, it's a long walk back to your compound, maybe you should just tay at my aprartment tonight." He offered.

"I don't think my father would like that very much, but thank you for the offer." Hinata replied graciously. "If you are tired I can walk home by myself."

"I wouldn't dream of abandoning you to the streets of Konoha." He replied, sounding hurt. She smiled at him and leaned into him as they walked along the narrow path through the woods.

Tsunade smiled as she leaned back against the wall with her clay bottle in hand. Shizune snuggled up to her side, holding a cup of instant ramen. The blonde carefully sipped the sake from the bottle and savored the taste. "You should stock more food here, there's nothing to eat." Shizune complained.

"I eat free at any restaurant in Konoha. Why would I keep food in the house when I could just go out?" She asked.

"Well we can't go out together, it would be suspicious for you to come over and have a candle lit dinner at my place with everyone looking in the windows, so you're going to have to stock food if you want a romantic dinner date." Shizune replied.

"We could go out and get dinner and save the romance for when we get back to my place. " She returned.

"I doubt that you would keep you hands to yourself for an entire meal." Shizune challenged.

"What makes you say that?" Tsunade asked deviously.

"The fact that I can't get through an hour without being ambushed." Shizune taunted.

"Well that's a different circumstance altogether." Tsunade replied her voice dipping lower. "How am I supposed to keep my hands to myself when we're alone in a small room and all I can see is these," She gave Shizune's breast a squeeze for emphasis. "bouncing around as you pace back and forth, lean over me and lets not froget those moments when you innocently open you kimono, because its hot, and reveal to me the upper most portion of you most guarded treasures?" Shizune turned her face away from the blond, attempting to hide her blush. "Now ,you dressed formally, in a large roomful of people. Far less appealing to simply grab and undress you than if we were in the office."

"So you're saying that I should stop worrying and just let you jump me in the office?" Shizune asked.

"That might be a little counter productive, and if I remember correctly, you've jumped me before as well." Tsunade answered smugly.

"Once, and you liked it." Shizune bit back shamelessly. "We're arguing about nothing now, back to the point. I don't think it would be a good idea to eat out together."

"I disagree. I think that it would be better idea to eat out than to keep food here and make meals." Tsunade protested.

"I think us going out together would create rumors, it would make more sense to stay in and have a romantic dinner here." Shizune reaffirmed.

"It would create more rumors if we locked ourselves into my house and refused to tell others what we were doing." Tsunade shot back.

"Well, I don't think we would do it that often that people would notice. This is the third tim I've been here since we began dating, one of them was less than an hour. It would be much more suspicious if we went everywhere together, here, restaurants, and my place." Shizune recovered. Tsunade blew out a breath and put her hands on top of her head.

"Can't we just go out to eat and not complicate things?" She asked, defeated. "Just once to see how things turn out?" Shizune held up her hand to signify that she was thinking. Tsunade waited silently as the brunette mulled the idea over. While she thought, Shizune began sipping at the cooling ramen in her hand, drinking it like soup.

Tsunade leaned herself more closely against Shizune, enjoying both the warmth of her body and the sensation of being so close to her lover. Finally Shizune drained that cup and snuggled closer to Tsunade. "I don't think I could go out to eat and just relax. I'd be too nervous to enjoy it. Right now, I have to say no." She confessed, picking nervously at her Styrofoam cup with her fingernail.

"I was afraid you'd say that. I guess we're just going to figured something else out then, huh?" Tsunade responded.

Ino did her best to refrain from slamming Sakura into the closed bedroom door as she backed her up, searching for the elusive piece of raised metal on the knob that locked the door. Her lips clashed against Sakura's, peeling them back and giving her access to her mouth while her fingers fumbled with the lock. It finally clicked closed after a few terrorized seconds. Sakura moaned as Ino knotted her fingers into her pink hair, tugging on it to make her move to the bed. She knew Sakura could feel the heat and intensity of her arousal as they pressed closer together. "Where is it?" She demanded, pushing her lover onto the bed.

"Not yet." Sakura answered. "I'm not ready yet." Ino nodded, beginning to trace her kisses down Sakura's face and neck, pulling her shirt out of the way until it became enough of a problem that she had to remove it. Once the shirt was out of the way, Ino began working on removing her bra, kissing at the crease between her breasts. As soon as the clasp loosed, the blonde quickly moved the bra and wrapped her lips around her nipple. Sakura whimpered and arched her back a little bit, resting her weight on her shoulders. Ino nipped lightly at the girls nipple, drawing a louder moan from her. Sakura grabbed her hair and towed her face back up to her's. Ino let herself be pulled into a kiss, reciprocating Sakura's passion with subservience.

Sakura began pulling Ino's shirt up, until it was over her head and off. She smiled, seeing that the girl wasn't wearing a bra. Ino turned her head to the side, a slight blush lighting her face. "I didn't have anything clean." She offered. Sakura hummed and rolled Ino over, straddling her waste. Her hands began traveling up her body, trailing along her curves. She squeezed everywhere she could get a handful of flesh, her lips crushing Ino's. Her sex crushing against her belly. Ino sat up and pushed Sakura to the side, grabbing her wrists and pushing them to the bed. "You're ready." She observed. "Where is it?" Sakura closed her eyes, arching her back as Ino slid on top of her. "Where is it?" She asked, gently pressing her lips to Sakura's.

Sakura turned her head and looked at her bedside table. "To activate it you need to channel using sheep." She added quietly. Ino kissed her forehead and smiled appreciatively. She reached over and opened the drawer, feeling around and grabbing the first phallic object she felt. The dildo she pulled out was light brown, as thick as a bamboo stalk, about eight inches long with two heads. "We can use it as a link later on, but not now. We're not experienced enough." Ino pulled her shorts down and carefully inserted one of the head into herself up to an inch past it, leaving around six inches for Sakura. She put her hands into the sign of sheep and let it slowly come to life as part of her body.

Ino whimpered as she felt the throb of her new erection with that of her body. The air around the phallus irritated her, making her want to enter Sakura even quicker. The pink haired girl wrapped her hand around the base of the shaft, stroking it tentatively with her thumb. Ino whimpered and jerked her hips, bringing the dildo closer to Sakura's face. Ino quickly shimmied up Sakura's body, presenting it to her. Sakura grunted as its crown touched her lips. "Please, Sakura, please." She begged. The girl opened her mouth and took the head inside of it, sucking gently on it. Ino moaned, thrusting her hips forward slowly. Sakura tilted her head up more, taking more of the shaft into her mouth. She suckled on it, enjoying the sounds that the blonde girl made as she varied the pressure on the phallus. Ino scooted forward, pushing more of the dildo into her mouth more and beginning to gyrate her hips. Sakura let out muffled whimpers as Ino moved, distressing her. Soon she adjusted to Ino's actions and could comfortably suckle as she moved.

Ino bit her bottom lip as she felt her stomach begin to twist itself into knots. She pulled back, wrapping her hand around the shaft protectively. Sakura looked confused as Ino sat down beside her and leaned into kiss her, beginning to use her other hand to pull her shorts and panties down. Sakura kissed back, aiding in shedding her clothing. When her shorts had passed her ankles, Sakura spread her thighs apart for Ino to get between them.

Ino carefully positioned herself at the opening, thrusting slowly into Sakura. She moved in in one slow, fluid movement until she felt Sakura's labia brushing her own. She leaned down and kissed the girl, smiling as she wrapped her legs around her. Sakura pulled herself closer. "How's that feel?" Ino asked.

"Kinda full, how's it feeling for you?" Sakura replied

"Like someone has my insides caught in a warm vice." Ino whimpered, moving to pull out for the next thrust, but Sakura caught her and gyrated her hips, allowing her to feel the fluttering of her inner flesh around the surrogate. Ino pressed back, wiggling her hips, enhancing the pleasure. Sakura moaned into the crook of Ino's neck as she began to kiss there. Ino ran her fingers through Sakura's hair and wrapped the other around her, drawing her closer. Together they writhed, bringing mutual pleasure until Ino could no longer take it and her body tensed, convulsing for a few seconds before turning to jelly. Followed shortly after, Ino's spasming body thrusting the phallus into her body. After Sakura climaxed, the girl's lay together in a sweaty heap of flesh.

Sometime afterwards, both girls began to doze, still stuck together like dogs, but so comfortable that it seemed impossible to say awake. Just as Ino lost consciousness, a loud was heard on the door followed by Sakura's father's voice. "You girls have been in there for awhile, is everything okay?"

"Yeah, dad. We're just talking." Sakura called back, shaking Ino to wake her up.

"Well I'm coming in, so make sure that you're presentable." He said.

"Wait dad, just give us a few minutes." Ino woke and Sakura pulled away from her, motioning for her to hide the dildo and find her clothes.

"To do what?"

"Uh, fix our hair. We got pretty bored." Sakura lied, hoping it would work. Ino hid the phallus under a blanket and scrambled for her shirt.

"You'll be fine., I used to dress you, remember?" Sakura cursed under her breath as she pulled her shorts on and pass Ino's to her. The sound of the lock turning from the outside worried Sakura because Ino was bottomless and she was topless. The door opened on Ino struggling to pull her shorts up, knocking the dildo onto the floor. As soon as Sakura's door opened, everything stopped. Sakura's dad looked around, taking them in and they watched him to see what he was going to do. After a minute of this stalemate, he exploded. "What the fuck is this, you whore?" He demanded motioning from Ino to the dildo. "What kind of freak are you?" He crossed the room in less than a second, grabbing Ino by her throat and lifting her from the bed. "Is this the problem, this demon, come to lead you to her lair? " He threw Ino at the wall but hit the window instead, sending her through it and down a full story before she hit the pavement below.

The shouting and breaking glass drew a crowd, in this crowd were Azuma, Kurenai, and Kakashi, all returning home from some time in Kakura Town. Azuma pulled off his shirt to wrap around Ino's uncovered lower half and picked the lifeless girl up. Kakashi jumped into the window and punched Sakura's father square in the face, knocking him out. Sakura, who had been cowering beneath him, soaking up whatever abuse he wished to dish out, stood up and thanked Kakashi in a shaky voice. "Get dressed. Get what you need. You're staying with me tonight. You're never coming back here." Kakashi ordered her. Sakura, in shock, wordlessly complied.
