Hey everybody. Its been a while since I last posted a lot of work. And sorry for a short chapter, but I've been working on another story. I plan on posting it today! Hope you enjoy the rest of the story and please review!

Oh by the by, I've been forgetting to say this but...(I don't own Naruto in any way)

Sakura was in a nearly drunken rage by the time she woke up the next morning. She had nightmares of Ino being fucked by Naruto. Naruto would plow into her and then look over his shoulder at her with that goofy grin. Sakura pulled out a tuft of her hair in exasperation. Then her second self said, Tell Inoichi about them. But Ino said that she told her parents. What if she was lying. Inoichi would permanently ground Ino and he would never let her near him again. Besides, even if she did tell them, Inoichi would be pissed to know they had sex, or made out, or... That's right, Inoichi was always so overprotective. He was even mad when Ino held hands with her boyfriends.

Sakura made herself presentable. Then she headed off towards Ino's house. She didn't feel bad that she was going to embellish the story a bit either.

Ina was tending the flower shop when she saw Sakura walk in. Sakura looked very... haggard. As though she had been sleeping badly. Sakura grimaced when they made eye contact. Ina knew she was about to be told something she didn't want to hear.

However Sakura didn't want to tell Ina first. She wasn't sure what her reaction would be, but her father's was guaranteed. Inoichi was stunned when Ino's friend Sakura told him that she had been dating behind his back, He was further dismayed to learn that the boyfriend was Naruto Uzumaki. However those feelings paled in comparison when Sakura told him that they had sex, and that Naruto was abusive and mistreated his daughter. The moment Sakura finished speaking he rushed out the door, passing his wife without a word. He went to hunt down Naruto.

Sakura smiled impishly. She didn't realize that he had no intention of punishing Ino. He was set on maiming Naruto.

Naruto was sitting against a tree near training field 10. Ino was snoozing. Her arms were wrapped around his shoulders. His arm was around her. Her perfume wafted up into his nose. She smelled of lavender and honey.

Neither of them had time to react as he was pulled to his feet. Ino was startled into wakefulness. Inoichi had Naruto by the neck. Naruto felt his windpipe weaken. He fortified it with chakra and tried to loosen his grip.

Inoichi saw them there, lying up against a tree. Sakura was right, He saw the bruise on his daughter's arm. From where she said Naruto had hit her. He charged across the clearing and grabbed him by the neck, lifting him into the air. He wanted to kill Naruto, but first he would scour his mind. Every time he found a memory of Ino being hurt, he would injure the boy again.

He launched a mental probe deep into Naruto's mind.

He was in a dank cage of some sort, At first he thought this was a mental defense of some kind. Then the red mist rose around him. He felt the hatred and Malevolence. Pain filled him as he felt his mindshape being shredded. As he was forced out of the boy's mind he saw the Nine Tailed Fox snarl at him.

Inoichi dropped Naruto and fell limply to the ground. Naruto held his throat. That hand had gotten tighter and tighter. Ino didn't rush to her father, Instead she went to him and clasped her healing hands on his neck. He breathed easier. when she was done she moved to her father's side.

Inoichi was completely normal, without a single scratch. He breathed easy and seemed to be asleep. Ino looked up at him, Naruto, What did you do to him? She sounded worried. I didn't do anything. He pushed his thoughts to the back of his mind. He asked Kyuubi, What just happened?

The fool tried to pry into you most closely guarded secret, unfortunately he succeeded. He appeared right in the middle of my cage. I tore his mindshape apart. He got away in time, but I doubt that he will wake up soon. I did a lot of damage to his mind.

Naruto said, Apparently he came face to face with Kyuubi and got his ass kicked. Ino looked terrified. She asked, Is he going to be alright. Naruto nodded, Kyuubi said that he'll eventually wake up. But it might take a while. Ino was glad. Naruto helped her take him to the hospital. It took a while to explain what had happened and if effectively ended the secrecy of their relationship.

It was three weeks since Temari had left to return home to the Sand Village. She hadn't felt bad about releasing the rumor about Ino and Naruto as well as Naruto's "abilities". Since then she had come back to the Leaf village with new documents and a longer planed stay. This time around she would spend a full month at the village embassy. It was slightly unsettling when she got a letter inviting her to the Hyuga compound the same day she arrived.

The message was written on stiff scroll paper. She didn't recognize the handwriting. She thought, Maybe they want to have a branch group in Suna? Temari was currently walking up the steps to the compound. As she approached the main gate, one of the guards moved to intercept her. He asked, What is your business here?

I have been invited to a meeting by one of your clan. The guard pulled out a notebook. He flipped through it till he came to the appropriate page. Ah, your Temari of the Sand Village right? That's right. She was off put by the formality. Shouldn't they just let me in. At last the guard stepped to the left and opened the gate.

Negi waited on the other side. She hadn't seen him for a few weeks. And she hadn't spoken to him in months. He smiled and led her inside.

There was food for three laid out on the main table inside. Hinata had just placed food on them and sat down. She didn't look very happy at the moment. She has a serious crush on Naruto. Hmmm, she must be pretty sad. Negi said, The rest of the clan is out on business at the moment so were the only ones here. Temari placed her giant fan next to the door before she seated herself. She thought it impolite to broach the subject of the invitation until Negi or Hinata spoke of it.

Instead she began to eat. The food was delicious, but when she complimented Hinata the girl made no comment. Negi ignored his depressed cousin. The two of them made small talk for a while. Negi brought sake after they finished eating. They were shocked when Hinata poured herself a huge glass full of it. Hinata said nothing but slugged the whole thing. She coughed and rose to leave the table.

When Hinata made her escape the mood returned to a more pleasant tone. Temari was amazed how much Negi had come out of his shell. He seemed as though he had matured in reverse, becoming more witty and friendly. She quite enjoyed his company, but she was getting tipsy and wanted to get business done before she had the chance to hiccup.

She said, So Negi what did you want to talk to me about. Negi took a moment to collect his thoughts, Well I actually wanted to ask you out on a date. He grinned, but then again, I suppose that I shouldn't have used official means to ask you out. He what?! Negi moved his chair closer, He said. I've had a crush on you for a while and I wanted to ask you right after you broke up with Shikamaru, but I thought that would be rude.

She thought, Oh so that's it? Well it explains a lot. Like why he offered sake. He wanted me to be in a better mood and needed it himself. Perhaps to bolster his courage. She said, I'll have you know that I require more than just affection. You're going to have to show me you have what it takes.

Negi choked, You mean that you accept. Sure! But there will be conditions. Temari stood up, a bit wobbly. For one you will prove that you are good in bed. Negi's jaw dropped. She smirked, That's right. Now if you want to be my boyfriend, Prove it!
