Authors note: I'm actually planning on making two alternative endings for this...Or more...I don't know just a idea...Thank you so much for the follows! This us the most follows I have ever gotten!...Anyway please review and enjoy!

"Nothing, nothing! And I made sure it stayed that way, though you were sure as hell trying!" he snapped at her, trying to defend himself. Naruto took a breath, and calmed down.

"Sakura sent me to check on you because you were drunk, but, you were trying to get me into bed. You…actually seemed sad, for moment, there…I think you just needed someone…"

Ino frowned and looked away in shame "sorry about that…I guess I can't control my actions when I'm drunk…" She muttered "oh and you don't need to freak out I must have a hangover so I feel too shitty to slab you in the face right now…." She responded getting out of her bed and heading to the kitchen to see a bunch of sake on the table, she signed at her own ignorance as she began to clean everything up.

Following her to the kitchen, Naruto saw her cleaning. Moving to Ino's side, he reached out, and took a light hold of her wrist.

"Ino, stop. Something's wrong, and it's not just about you getting drunk."

Naruto placed his other hand on the blonde girl's cheek. "Come on, talk to me. We're friends, aren't we?" Naruto implored for her to speak up, his blue eyes showing deep concern for the young lady.

The Yamanaka avoided Narutos gaze, even though she wasn't sure what the heck he was talking about she knew she had to confess some truth well drunk. Everyone has haven't they?

"What are you talking about….?" She replied getting out of Narutos grip and turning back around to sweep up a broken bottle of sake.

"You said you were depressed. That that was why you were drinking," he said, as he let her clean, and began to pick things up alongside her. "Then you said, when you act like you hate me, that it's just an act, to hide how you really feel."

She gasped how could she openly say all that? "Note to self never get drunk again…" She whispered to herself even though she was probably going to ignore it in the near future "I-I-I did…?" The female blonde questioned.

"Well, yeah. I mean, you were drunk, so, I wasn't sure if you really meant it, ya know?"

His voice softened the more he talked, as he started to feel guilty for bringing it all up so suddenly. So, he knelt down, and kept cleaning up, picking up a couple more bottles.

"Uh, where did you want me to put all these?"

Ino turned around to answer the young Uzumakis question and pointed by her doorway. "There should be a recycling bin by the door if I didn't already knock it over…" she answered then turning around to continue sweeping.

Naruto followed where she pointed, and put the bottles in the bin. Naruto gazed at the blonde female for a time, her words from the previous night racing through his mind. Could she have meant it? Even though his mind was preoccupied with that thought, it hardly seemed to matter at the moment. Naruto could imagine that she must have felt embarrassed, to be seen like that.

Embarrassed…

"Hey, Ino? Remember when I pissed my pants at the class trip? Or that really crappy Transformation of the Third? Or when I farted on Kiba?"

Naruto blushed, as he brought up some of his own moments of humiliation. "You've seen me do a lot of embarrassing things. So, you being drunk…it's nothing compared to that, ya know?"

Ino turned to look at him she was in shock from his little comment he just made Ino couldn't help but smile she then laughed lightly before stopping herself.

She put the broom against the kitchen counter and came up to Naruto she gazed at his sparkly blue eyes for a little bit before pulling him into a small embrace. she blushed slightly, lucky for her he couldn't see her face "thank you Naruto…" She whispered.

She felt bad about how mean she had been before when she was a ninja...Yeah...Thats right...Ino Yamanaka was a ninja drop-out.

~FLASHBACK!~

Ino was training at the training grounds as usual she half trained and half admired Shikamaru from afar as he put his sweat, blood and tears into his training, she would do anything to be with him to have his soft manly lips touch her strawberry lip glossed ones. "Okay lunch break!" Chouji announced. "What Chouji!" Ino complained "can't you wait another hour!?" Chouji shook his head "of course not..."

Ino signed "Chouji! You gotta get up on your training! Not waste your time eating chi...!" She said before she was interrupted. "Give it up Ino..." She heard Shikamarus chiseled voice command "let Chouji do his thing and Chouji will let you do your thing!" Ino looked at him and listened to his commands and went on with her training.

"Hey Ino I know this must be a drag but wanna have some ichiraku ramen with me...?" He questioned. Ino looked at him in disbelief until she got back to earth "oh, um yeah sure..." Ino mumbled."Shikamaru!" She heard a familiar voice call she saw a certain dirty blonde ninja jump out of a tree and land on two feet perfectly.

"today is our third monthadversary!" Shikamaru look at her in uncertainty "huh...?" Temari rolled her eyes "we have been boyfriend and girlfriend for three months now Shikamaru and every time we have a monthadversary you totally forget! I thought you would at least have caught on by now!" She said waking him with a mini fan.

Shikamaru signed "your so troublesome, but your worth it..." Ino gasped "you two are..." The blue eyed female was immediately interrupted by Temari. "A couple...? Yes! I can't believe you haven't told your teammates yet, you lazy ass!" Temari hit Shikamaru with the mini fan again. "I know..." Chouji mumbled, Why? Why wouldn't Shikamaru tell Ino? Was Ino not important enough to him?

She felt tears develop in her eyes and tried to blink them out. Ino could not believe this was happening to her! It was so unfair! She would never forgive Temari or Shikamaru! Why would they hide this from her?

Did they know she had a crush on Shikamaru and they just hid it from her to torture her! What was wrong with the world! "So where you taking me. Nara...?" Temari asked. "Oh!" Shikamaru turned and look at me slightly behind his back "I was just on my way to ichiraku..." He muttered putting his arm around Temari's shoulder as he exited the training grounds with no regard for Ino at all!

No he was not on his way to ichirakus! He was on his way to ichirakus with HER! She wanted to cry she wanted to die! She never wanted to see Shikamarus stupid little face again! She hated him and forever would!

1 month later...(still in flashback by the way!)

"Ino Yamanaka...I have become aware of how many missions you have been passing down...Shikamaru and Chouji have also reported you missing from the training grounds for the past month...Ino is there something I should know...?" Tsunade questioned giving the Yamanaka a stern look.

"Lady Tsunade...I have no time for training or for stupid missions!" Ino exclaimed she looked at the blonde in shock as if she were joking...But the thing is...SHE WASN'T! She was dead serious! This was no laughing matter! She had been depressed for days! NO make that WEEKS! Because of the whole Temari incident.

"If you continue you WILL be kicked out of Konoha..." Tsunade threatened, Ino rolled her eyes and crossed her arms "then do it! See if I care! I don't want to be a ninja anymore anyway!" I shouted as I left the room slamming the door.

I ran all the way back to the Yamanaka resident now not only was her father gone but Shikamaru was to! She was so done with Konoha and all there stupid jerks! She roughly packed her cloths not caring to fold them gently like she usually would be but instead pushed everything in the bag violently.

She waited until about one o'clock in the morning to leave so no one would take any notice and try to stop her. She began walking down the steps of the place Sasuke was heard to leave the village. I heard foot steps behind me. "Ino-pig...?" She heard a pinkette question.

Ino turned around "Sakura...?" She seemed to be holding a backpack too "are you on a mission?" Sakura asked. Ino couldn't lie to her so she looked down and shook her head "me, ether..." Sakura replied. I looked up eyes wide.

"Are you leaving...Forehead?"

"Are you leaving...?"

"Yes..."

"Why..."

"Because I have found love for Shikamaru but then I found out he was with Temari...I was so upset he didn't even tell me!" Sakura looked at me sadly "man that is a good reason...I'm leaving because...Because my family hates me for threatening to burn down Konoha one time when I was upset with my parents...Ever since Sasuke left I felt like I've wanted to die..." Sakura confessed.

"I feel ya sister..." The blonde Yamanaka said "lets leave...Together..." Ino announced as the girls walked side by side to the gates of Konoha.

~END OF FLASHBACK!~

Now Ino and Sakura were living in a apartment and Ino accidentally started texting everyone in Konoha and Sakura drunk texts. Sakura had the guts to call Naruto and ask him to check on me! All the way from Konoha! Thats a long drive!

Now she lived life unsuccessful and it was all Temari and Shikamarus fault...They probably didn't even care! All Ino could do now was live in a life of regret...
