Naruto and Ino: Key to My Heart
Summary: Like magnets, no matter how far they were, they would always be pulled back to one another.

Dear Ino,
I know I have been lucky when I met you. Ever since we met, I knew you were the one for me. Call it love at first sight or whatever they call it because I love you. It was tough for me to just let you go and I may have come on a bit rude, but could you blame me? I love you too much. I wanted you to stay here, but you had to leave. Sometimes I think that the world is against me. Every time I get the chance to be with you, something always happens that pushes us away further away from one another. But I know that you and I would make it. I love you for everything you are. You are beautiful and perfect and maybe that is why I am so afraid to lose you. So many other guys would kill just to have you in their life, and I guess I'm just paranoid. I trust you, I do, but I won't be there to protect you. I know your father is there, so of course he would take care of you, but I want to care for you and be the only one who loves you. I'm probably rambling on, so I should end the letter here. Please be careful and know that I love you.
Love,
Naruto
Ps. Kiba says I'm starting to sound like a woman… I hope he is wrong.

Dear Naruto,
How are things lately? I know you weren't happy with not being able to see me, but I hope that I could see you soon. What are your plans? Are you planning on going to the beaches with your friends or possibly mine? I miss you Naruto, I miss you so very much. I still want to thank you for everything that you have done for me. You saved my life Naruto that much is true. If you weren't there, I really don't know what or where I would be. My father appreciates you, you know that don't you? He was a bit angry at first, but after I told him what you've done for me he knew that he wasn't able to stay mad. You have a way of doing that. No matter how mad someone gets, no one could stay mad at you for too long. I love you. I love you more than I ever thought I would, so please Naruto, do not break my heart. I love you, please be happy.
Love,
Ino

Dear Ino,
I miss you already, each and every day. How are things there where you are? I know you are probably busy settling down and finding your place, but if you don't mind, please write to me. I look forward to it every time the mail man comes by, but still no letter. Is it because it takes longer for the letter to get to me because you are far? Or maybe you haven't gotten the chance to write? It really doesn't bother me if it was both or neither, I will wait for you letter still because that is the only thing I live for Ino. I love you and please be careful and stay beautiful.
Love,
Naruto

Dear Naruto,
Hi. How is it there? How are your friends? Are you busy enjoying life without me? I miss you Naruto. I miss that beautiful smile and that adorable blush that you get. I dreamt about you last night. I was drowning and everything was dark around me. I tried to reach for something, anything but found nothing. I was about to give in the suffocating liquid, but then I felt someone grab me out of the water. I remember everything was blurred and once I could see clearly, I saw you. Those beautiful eyes and your gorgeous smile just made me realize something. You are my hero Naruto, don't forget it. I love you and miss you still. Don't forget to write.
Love,
Ino
Ps. Daddy says hello and to not hurt me. You know how fathers are…

Dear Ino,
Did I do something wrong? Did I write something stupid? I know we are far from one another, but can you tell me why you haven't written? I can change if I need to because I miss you Ino. Please tell me what happened because I can't bear to see us fall apart. I know we can grow stronger from this distance and please don't say I am a fool for believing it. This is probably my seventh letter I sent so far, I mean I forgot to keep track. I hope we could still be together because I love you Ino, please don't do this to us… to me.
Still waiting,
Naruto

Dear Naruto,
What did I say in my letters that made you not send me any? Well, maybe you are busy with other matters. I know Hinata had told me you have been preoccupied it seemed, so I can forgive you for that. Please don't forget to write me though, I wait everyday for your letters because they always make me laugh and remind me of you. I want you to know that this is my tenth letter I sent out to you, am I being paranoid? I just miss you. Shikamaru told me that you have a new friend. I am glad you made new friends. He also told me you are very close to her and I have to say that I am a bit jealous, but I know that that is how you are. You are an emotional character with so much to give and that is why I can't help myself but feel so joyous when I am around you. Please Naruto, if you get the chance, please write to me even if it is a few words. I love you.
Love,
Ino

Ino,
I'm sorry, I don't think I can do this anymore. It hurts every time I think of you because my heart would just ache. I loved you so much, but why do you have to blow me off? Why do you not write to me at all? You promised me that you would write to me, so what is wrong? If you didn't plan on writing to me, then why didn't you send me a simple letter saying so? I met Hinata the other day and she told me she received a letter from you and it just broke my heart. I was your boyfriend wasn't I? I tried to be a good boyfriend and handle this long distance relationship, but I can't anymore. I'm the only one trying to make this work and it just eats me up inside knowing that you never loved me the same or ever. I do have to thank you though, for being in my life those short times. They were the best moments of my life, that much is true. I love you Ino, write to me if you want to work us out.
Broken hearted,
Naruto

Dear Naruto,
I honestly don't know how to start this letter. I love you so much Naruto, but why does my heart hurt so much? I know it's busy there because of it being summer and all, but why haven't I receive any letters at all? I do not believe that I said anything wrong in them, did I? Hinata had told me you have been getting close to your female friend and I feel as though things between us are not as strong as we once thought they were. Even Shikamaru had told me that he saw her kissing you on the cheek and you didn't stop her. I almost cried, but I told myself the Naruto I knew would never do something like that. Yet, without any other knowledge about you, I don't know what to believe. I miss you Naruto, I thought we were in love, but I guess I was wrong. Please don't tell me that this is the end, and if it is, I need to know from you and no one else. Please write to me and tell me what is on your mind. Are we still together?
Confused,
Ino

Prom. Something many seniors looked forward to and he felt a bittersweet moment. Everything looks nice: music was good, girls and guys dressed up for the occasion, and even the snacks were tasty. He looked toward his date who ushered him to the dance floor. She has such beautiful long raven colored hair and her eyes were very pretty. The dress she wore suited her personality and figure nicely.
"Come on Naruto-kun," she smiled, "... one more dance please?"
The blonde nodded softly as he wrapped his arm around her waist as they swayed with the music with people bumping into them. He could see it in her eyes that she was enjoying herself and he had to admit that he was also. Why wouldn't he be? She was pretty and he was lucky. Putting aside that she was his friend's cousin, it was nice having her in his arms. Without noticing, the music ended as she pulled away from him. He headed back to the table to take a seat, but his date insisted on dancing. He apologised and excused himself out of the building.
I need air, he told himself as he took in the fresh clean air outside the noisy building.
he walked around the area for awhile trying to clear his head. He looked down at his watch as he continued his walk to notice that the dance was about to be over in a few minutes. He looked up to see the darkness of the sky overclouded with stars. He stood in silence for a minute hearing people walking toward the parking lot where their cars awaited them. As he turned, he can tell that the place where the occasion was held, may start to become empty soon as he notice many people, more like crowd, heading his way.
Guess I should head back, he told himself as he walked against the gradient to the building where his date waited for him.
What he didn't realize and didn't expect was to see someone else waiting to, someone he thought he forgot.
Hello everyone. I know it has been a very long time since I have written anything, but I hope to stay for as long as I can this time around. The next chapter I hope to bring more dialogue because I wanted this mini-chapter to be a short preview of letters that Naruto and Ino wrote to eachother and to bring up the reason for the way they feel. Also, since it has been 9 months, it brings us to Prom and that is where I would like to continue the story. I hope you all stay for the ride and continue reading.
Love,
Kiwi
