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.
(Author's Note: I apologize for the long wait, I will not be writing any notes at the end or questions, hope that is alright )
Something was itching the back of her throat as if urging her to speak, but she bit her tongue. The look, the stupid look he gives her makes the inside of her blood boil. Why? She knew about the two, but how can she not be jealous? He loves her; he's always there for her; he would sacrifice himself for her and she hates it. Hate it to the fact that just looking at the two of them makes her green with envy.
The smile he so rarely gives her was so easily given to the blonde beauty; the insecurities were taking over every little part of her being and she wanted to lash out with anger, but it would be the worst move she'd ever make.
"Temari," the blonde beauty called out with that awfully sweet smile.
"Hi," she answered biting back the anger.
"How long did you wait?" she asked innocently and something in the dirty blonde's mind twist a wheel.
"Just got here," she lied knowing that she'd been watching the two.
"Oh," the smile from the blonde was aimed at her once again.
"We should be going," the male who continue to be her entire world spoke.
"Ok," the blonde beauty nodded, "... You ready?" her eyes were on hers now.
"Yeah," was the only thing she could say before they walked off.
Why won't he talk to me like he does her? Why does he give all his time to her? Why must I always question everything? Why? She thought as she continued her steps to there destination.
"I have good news," the brunette with long hair spoke with a small smile.
"What kind of news?" the raven headed bowl cut asked.
"About Ino," he leaned back against his chair smiling with a knowing knowledge.
"Ino?" the blonde perked up.
"By the look of your smile," the red head pointed out, "... Must be good."
"It is," the pale eyed male smirked.
"What is it?" the blonde asked with unhidden excitement.
"Neji, what is it?" the best friend of the blonde asked with a hint of curiosity.
"I've heard from my cousin," Neji started, "... That Ino," he paused.
"You doing this on purpose," Gaara glared at his friend after waiting a few seconds.
"Of course," the smirk grew a bit wider.
"Neji, tell me what news you got about Ino," the blonde pleaded with a pout.
"Ok," Neji started, "... Do not make that face ever again," he shook his head from side to side in short lengths, "... Ino was happy to see you."
A blush stuck itself upon the blonde's cheeks. Knowing that the female who he loves was happy to see him, after all the miss-haps that occurred, caused a bubbly feeling in him. He had to look away as his heart continued to beat faster and faster. He just couldn't help himself for what he was feeling. Every part of him was reacting over just that and he wondered if a heart attack would happen if she said more.
"You look cute when you blush," he felt the breath against his ears. The blush grew brighter and he felt like he could pass out any minute. Naruto wasn't sure if it was all in his mind or was the closeness of her near him true. It took him every power to hold down his excitement as he looked over his shoulder slowly.
There she was. Bent over slightly to whisper in his ear stood the beautiful blonde he wanted and needed in his life. He almost fell over by such a captivating creature. He felt blessed to be in the presence of hers and wanted to grab a hold of her, but someone ruined his moment.
"Excuse me," the waiter apologized, "... How many?"
"Three," a male voice caught Naruto off guard, but only for a second.
"Ok," the waiter reached for some menus, "please come with me," and he walked away.
"Let's go," the male with him said as he and the dirty blonde haired woman followed the waiter.
"Wait Shika," the woman of his dreams called out, "... Gotta go," she smiled toward them noticing her friends not stopping for her and took off.
"Naruto," Kiba gritted out, "... Don't you dare follow her."
"Naruto, it isn't the right choice," Gaara tried to get it through the blonde's thick head.
"Naruto!" Kiba called out pulling his best friends arm, "... Stop!"
Naruto couldn't necessarily hear what they were saying, or didn't care. He wanted to follow Ino and talk to her like they did the other night. He missed it and he felt down right guilty for substituting his love.
You were using Kimi then, a voice in his head stated.
N... No, I love her too, he stuttered.
You just put yourself down with guilt, the voice stated once again.
I meant... he stopped unsure how his conscious got the best of him.
"Naruto," he heard someone say his name and he blinked a few times for his dry eyes to become moist again.
"Huh?" he voiced.
"Unbelievable," Kiba shook his head, "... She still got you hooked!"
Her dark hair was lightly blowing with the breeze. She intake an air of coolness letting it run down her throat. Her body was tense and she could feel her back aching with pain. She stood tall as she looked at the wooden targets in front of her. She huffed out a large breath and glared at the woods hatefully. If they were alive, they wouldve shrunk down with fear.
"My son," a tall male with silver hair walked through the door.
"Something wrong father?" the younger version asked concerned noticing his father's features.
"The woman," his father started, "... The one with the red hair that you knew..."
"Karin?" the young one asked.
"Yes," his father nodded, "Kabuto..." a sigh escaped as he reached out his hands to hold his son's shoulders, "... Her body was taken to the morgue 6 months ago..." his father paused trying to think of what would be best to say.
"What is the problem father?" Kabuto was afraid but he knew something was wrong if his father is hesitant like he is.
"It's missing," the seriousness in his eyes and voice threw the young male off.
"What do you mean?" Kabuto was a bit angry, a bit scared, and a bit confused.
"Her body," his father started and a chill ran down his spine, "... It..." a squeeze on both his shoulder were felt, "... it is gone."
"What?" a loud scream echoed near the small lake.
"What's wrong?" a bobbed head of blonde could be seen from afar.
"Y... You..." the female pointed a shaky finger accusingly, "... M... Marriage..."
"Seriously Naruto!" his best friend questioned, "... You're still young and... And getting married is like... Like..."
"Prison," the red head finished.
"Yeah!" Kiba nodded in agreement.
"I don't mind being imprisoned with her," Naruto breathed out with a smile.
"You don't get it," Kiba tried again, "... She will own you and... And everything you do has to get approval from her first!"
"How is that bad?" the blonde questioned.
"You will have no life! That's why!" Kiba fling his arms dramatically to emphasis his point.
"I think it's a great thing!" the one in green spoke up, "Naruto is only officially admitting his youthful love to the lovely Ino."
"I agree with Lee," the pale eyed male announced.
"Me too, it's sweet," Kiba's girlfriend smiled dreamingly with both hands clasped toward her chest.
"You gotta be kidding!" Kiba yelled flabbergasted.
"What's so bad!" his girlfriend retorted.
"Life as you know it will be over!" he barked back.
"Life will be better because you're with the one you love!" she yelled.
"But you can just be together and not be married with someone you love!" he screamed.
"Stop," Kimi called out before the debate continues, "... Naruto," she looked at him and almost melted in those damn gorgeous eyes, "... Are... Are you serious about this?" she saw him nod with a pleasant smile, "... What if she declines?"
The smile faded into a frown. Naruto knew someone was going to bring it up and though he went through it a few times, he couldn't find anything that would make her say no, or truthfully he wouldn't. He could still feel her breath tickling his insides and her natural smell seeping into his nose wherever he goes.
"Wipe that smirk off your face already," Kiba looked and felt disgusted.
"Kiba," Neji spoke up, "... Shouldn't you be happy for him?"
"No," he didn't hesitate, "... not when he's throwing his life away for a woman," Kiba huffed with his arms crossed, "... Especially a woman like Ino."
