Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. Sorry for any OoC-ness in advance!

As the door to the bathroom swung open, Ino spun around to face Sakura. "What are you going here with HIM? He's MINE, Sakura!" she shouted, hands balled up into fists. Her face was turning red with anger, and the other women in the bathroom were staring in interest.

"Well, it shouldn't matter to you. You have Sasuke. You don't need both," Sakura said coolly, knowing it would tick Ino off even more. And it did. Ino looked as if she was about to explode.

"YOU DO NOT NEED SHIKAMARU! ARG!" Ino's forehead vein was pulsing dangerously again. As the two bickered and argued back and forth, Tenten laughed, but neither of them heard.. She had been standing in the corner since the fight began.

"This should be juicy gossip. Ino and Sakura: Fighting over Shikamaru," She said to herself, and made her way to the door. As she passed the other two ninja, she smiled. "You two better be getting back to your dates before they start to wonder. Unless they haven't already heard you. These bathrooms aren't soundproof, you know." And with that, she left. The door swung back to the closed position. Ino and Sakura had stopped arguing, and had turned to face each other.

"What if they did hear?" They said in unison. They both tried to run through the door at the same time. "Let me out first, forehead!" "No, me first, pig!" "Billboard brow!" "Boar!" Their shoulders were rubbing against each other as they tried to make their way out. Sakura made her way out first, and turned to stick her tongue out at Ino. They collided, and fell backwards.

"Oww! Why were you stopping, Sakura?" Ino rubbed her nose, and stood up. She extended a hand to help her rival.

"Why did you move forward, Ino?" Sakura rubbed her forehead, and took Ino's hand. "I guess rivals can be friends."

"Shikamaru's still mine. Dump him."

"Never."

"Arg! You... AH!" Ino looked at her with a frustrated face. They split to go back to their different dates.

"So, Ino is jealous?"

"You heard?"

"Every word, Haruno. Every word."

"Tenten was right; those aren't sound proof." Sakura turned to look back over at the other couples. She just now noticed their drinks had arrived. She took a long sip, and then looked back over at the menu.

"N-now that Sakura i-is back, may I t-take your or-order?" Hinata took back out her order pad, and looked at the couple.

"I'll have some anko dumplings and a side salad." Sakura handed the menu over to Hinata, who wrote down her order and turned to Shikamaru.

"A-and for you, sir?"

"You don't have to call me sir, Hinata. Shikamaru will do just fine. I'll have the ---" His sentence was cut off by a loud boom at the front entrance. Sakura up and immediately saw Shikamaru with his head turned.

'Wow, he looks gorgeous...' she thought, but immediately shook her head to rid herself of such thoughts. "I'm supposed to like Sasuke, remember?" she said aloud.

"Yes, I do. Why do you think I can't remember, Sakura?" Shikamaru looked at her quizzically as she started to turn red from blushing.

"Uh, no reason..." Luckily, he didn't notice her blush. He was too busy looking at the source of the commotion.

"I'll do it later, Shizune!" Tsunade came around the corner, running through the restaurant. Shizune was close behind, clutching a handful of paperwork.

"YOU WILL NOT!"

"Hokage-sama, you are going to need to pay for hat broken wall. Why didn't you just use the door?" Shino's voice carried across the room.

"I'll pay for it later, Shino!" Tsunade yelled, still trying to get away from Shizune.

"You will not!" Sakura and Shizune yelled together. Tsunade and Shizune stopped, then turned to face the pink haired ninja. Sakura was standing up now, pointing at Tsunade.

"You'll never pay for the door, and you know it! You've got other debts to pay before that one!"

"Eh... this is troublesome." Shikamaru had his head propped on his hand, looking between Sakura, Tsunade, and Shizune.

Tsunade looked between Shikamaru and Sakura. "You two are on a DATE? Sakura! How lovely. And you chose a good one two. Not Naruto..."

"HEY! I don't like you saying that!" Naruto came up from no where again, glaring at Tsunade.

"I don't appreciate you talking to your Hokage like that! Bow down before me!"

"NEVER!" came the reply.

Shikamaru leaned across that table. "Ino and Sasuke are leaving. Let's follow them, okay?"

"Alright, Shika-kun." Sakura got up, with Shikamaru following. 'Shika-kun? Since when do I call him Shika-kun...?'

'Shika-kun? Who calls me Shika-kun..?' He shook his head as they moved from their booth.

"H-hold on! D-do you not w-want your fo-food?"

"No, just charge it to Hokage-sama," Sakura responded. Tsunade and Naruto were still arguing, and Shizune was trying to break up the fight. None of them noticed Sakura just added more onto Tsunade's humongous debt.

"O-okay. Bye, Sakura and Shikamaru!" Hinata smiled and waved, as she was supposed too. The couple left, still stalking Ino and Sasuke.

"Sasuke, where should we go next?" Ino asked, giving him a charming smile.

"Sorry, Ino. But I've got to get back now... We can set up our next date later," Sasuke replied in his cool, collected voice. And then he did the worst thing for Sakura to see: he leaned in to kiss Ino, right in her line of vision. Sakura almost died, she turned to run away, but ran into Shikamaru.

She didn't move. She just stood there, crying into his shirt. He put his arm around her. "Sakura... it's okay. It's only a kiss." He wanted to say something about kisses being troublesome, but he was feeling as much pain seeing Ino get kissed. But as he held Sakura, some of the pain dissapeared.

"No, it's not! It NEVER will be!" At the sound of her voice, Sasuke broke off his kiss with Ino to turn around and look at her.

"Did you two follow us here?" He questioned, choosing not to look at Sakura.

"I HATE YOU!" she screamed in response, pulling away from Shikamaru to turn and face him. Then she took off down the street. Shikamaru mumbled something about troublesome crying, then took off after her.

Sasuke glared at Ino. "Damnit, Yamanaka! I thought you said that dating you would make Sakura jealous! How am I supposed to go out with her if she hates me?" Ino looked downward.

A/N: What does this mean? Ino and Sasuke were planning, too? Stay tuned!

As always, review! ILU all.
