Summary: Alternat seires of events set after the Sasuke/Naruto fight at the Valley of the end - If Naruto won.
Disclamer: I do not own Naruto, or anything else of value. It is not worth mugging me.
Chapter 5 - Ramen? I think not.
- - - Ino's POV - - -
Saturday. Every week on Saturday Sasuke-kun trains with Naruto. I also have to mind the flower shop.
"Ino, Hey"
Great, its Sakura. She stopped calling me pig after her first date with Sasuke-kun.
"Help me, Ino." she whispered "I want to know somthing about Sasuke-kun"
Geez, Naruto really knows her well, he scripted this conversatoin out last night after Sasuke-kun told us what he did.
"Oi, Bilboard-brow, your thinking of searching his house, arent you?"
"How?"
"I know, because I already DID, yesterday while you were on a date with Sasuke"
"! What happened to the '-kun'?"
"The only interesting thing I found was Naruto's dairy."
"Ino? Are you OK?"
"Fine, but Naruto caught me reading the dairy - sorry, journal - "
"What did he do?"
"He told me off for invading his privacy. Then I asked him on date."
"YOU DID WHAT ?"
"Well, theres no way I can get Sasuke now, Naruto is the only guy Sasuke even acnowledges, so the only thing I can be for Sasuke is a friend.
I have more chance of achieving that if I'm closer to Naruto. Plus he was reeeally sweet in his dairy. I told him, after he accepted, that he
had to drop the idiot act, or at least while on a date with me."
"So, your dating Naruto to get closer to MY Sasuke-kun!!!??"
"Partly. Also he's cute."
" . . .whens the date?"
"Tommorow, you have one with Sasuke on Monday, don't you?"
"Yeah, how did you know my date?"
"Sasuke was bragging to Naruto"
"Oh . . ."
"Sakura"
She left witthout another word. I just hope Naruto doesn't ever find out that I called him cute. The rest was his script, but I added the cute, and I meant it.
I know Sakura will still search Sasuke-kun's house. Thats why Naruto gave the scrolls to me to keep here, untill Sasuke needs them - excusing my visit as
calling for Naruto for a date. He might be almost as smart as Shikamaru - no where near as lazy though.
- - -Sakura's POV - - -
That bitch, who does she think she is. How can she just use Naruto like that?
BETTER THAN IGNORING HIM, LIKE YOU DID.
Thats different . . .
YEAH, ITS WORSE, BECAUSE HE SAVED YOUR LIFE, SO MANY TIMES
Shut up! This has nothing to do with . . .
HE CHEERED YOU UP SO OFTEN. AS SASUKE SAID, HE GAVE UP HIS HAPPINESS
He . . .but . . .
DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY.
Naruto . . .
HE LOVES YOU, YOU KNOW.
I . . .I know . . .now . . .
--- The next day, Ino's POV ---
Why am I nervous? Its only a date with Naruto. Still, a date is a date, and this was my first.
knock knock knock
"Hi, Ino-chan"
It was Naruto. Why wasnt he wearing orange? He actually looked . . .as good as Sasuke.
"I guess its ramen lunch, then?"
"Nope, Ino-chan."
