A/N: Thanks for the reviews everyone. I am really putting a lot of effort in this story. So hopefully things will turn out as planned. As always enjoy.

To say that Ino was concerned about whatever Naruto had planned was putting it lightly. She knew all too well how eager and unpredictable the blond male was.

"I have a really bad feeling about this." She thought to herself.

"Hey Ino where are you right now. You look like you're a million miles away." Sakura spoke.

"Yeah she's right Ino what's going on?" TenTen asked.

The blond kunoichi took a sip of her tea. She wasn't really sure how she should answer her.

"Ino-chan is everything okay?" Hinata wondered.

The four girls had met up today to have some tea and spend their day together. She knew that today was better than any to put her plan with Naruto into action. There were witnesses around so they could all see this "so called relationship" come to a start.

"Guys I'm fine really. I just have some stuff on my mind that's all."

"Oh." TenTen nodded knowingly. "Boy trouble huh." She nudged the younger girl in the shoulder.

"Come on TenTen you know that Ino-pig is single. What boy trouble could she possible have?" the pink haired teen teased gently.

Ino glared daggers at her friend.

"So are you forehead. The only people here who would have boy problems are TenTen and Hinata. How are things with Lee and Kiba anyway?"

"Lee and I are fine." The brunette said confidently.

"Y...yeah. Kiba-kun and I are doing g…good." Hinata answered.

"Hear that Sakura you better get a move on if you want to catch up to these two."

Sakura narrowed her eyes as she sipped her tea.

"Oh yeah well what about you? I don't exactly see your social calendar full."

Ino stood up placing some money on the table.

"I don't need a man to define me." She said proudly as she walked out of the tea house.

"Spoken like a true desperate single girl. Hey Ino-pig wait up."

The three girls followed after their friend. All Ino could really think about was what Naruto had said the day before. It was the only thing on her mind.

"Just what the hell is he planning?" She wondered.

"Ino hey wait up."

She waited for her friends to catch up to her.

"So what do you guys want to do now?" Before anyone could say anything else Konohamaru's voice was heard.

"Ino nee-chan!" he shouted.

The platinum blond turned around to see the young boy running towards her. He was carrying a bouquet of orchids in his hand.

"Konohamaru-chan what's going on?"

"Hiya Ino-chan. I have something for you." He smiled his toothy grin as he handed her the beautiful bouquet. She blinked as she took the flowers from him.

"Thank you Konohamaru who are they from?"

"There's no card." Sakura noticed.

"I'm sorry Ino nee-chan I was only told to give them to you. I got to run though see ya."

The three teens waited until the brown haired boy was gone before turning their attention to Ino. They were definitely curious as to why she had those flowers.

"What's up?" Ino asked.

"Looks like Ino-pig has an admirer." Sakura spoke in an amused tone.

"What? I do not. Konohamaru was probably just playing a trick or something." She decided that this was most likely the answer. Ino said no more to her friends as she started to walk away.

"They are pretty flowers Ino-chan." The blue haired girl told her.

"Yeah I wonder who they're from."

As the girls continued walking they continued to share their theories on whom it could be. Ino's eye twitched she couldn't take this another minute longer.

"Well it definitely wasn't my Lee he wouldn't dare disrespect me like that." TenTen said.

"Hey maybe it was Shino?" the pink haired teen suggested because she knew it would piss Ino off.

"Bug Boy!" She shouted. "Get real you three. I'm telling you that it was probably a joke." She turned around facing her friends with a displeased look on her face.

"Okay Ino geez relax."

"INO-CHAN!!!" a very loud voice was heard.

"What the….."

Ino, TenTen, Sakura, and Hinata looked to see Naruto jumping from the roof of a building. He landed in front of the more than surprised blond kunoichi.

"Na…Naruto?" she questioned in disbelief.

Sakura suddenly punched the blond male in the head. He instantly fell to the ground.

"Ow Sakura-chan?" he whined.

"What the hell we're you thinking jumping from the roof like that baka. Were you trying to freak us out? Not to mention you probably could have hurt yourself."

"Naruto-kun are you okay?" Hinata asked.

He shook his head trying to regain himself after that nasty blow to the head.

"Hai I'm fine." He nodded giving her the thumbs up. He then turned his attention to Ino. He smiled for her. "Ino-chan did you like the flowers I sent for you."

"You sent them!" TenTen and Sakura said together.

"Yeah Ino-chan." He dropped to his knee taking her hand. Ino stood with her mouth open. She could form no words. She was in complete shock mode right now. How the hell could he pull something like this? And she had no time to even prepare for his little stunt.

"Ino-chan you are so beautiful. Will you let me take you out?"

TenTen, Sakura, and Hinata each stood in shock, awe, and bewilderment. This wasn't seriously happening right now. None of this seemed to make any kind of sense. Ino pulled herself together letting the shock disappear from her face.

"Naruto…" She began.

"Come on Ino-chan you'll have a great time. Its not like your busy anyway you've got plenty of free time."

She looked horrified at his insult. Ino pulled him up dragging him away.

"We have to talk now in private you baka!" She growled.

"Ino-chan not so rough we haven't even had out first date yet."

The platinum blond hit him over the head and he saw nothing but stars.

"I'll be right back." She told her friends as she continued dragging Naruto along. Once she was sure that they weren't within earshot of anyone else she let him go. "Naruto what in all hell were you thinking? What happened to being convincing? Don't you think that you went a little overboard?"

"No way wasn't it great Ino. When have I ever been quiet about anything I've done?"

"You got a point there." She agreed as she sat down besides him. "Seriously though how are we supposed to recover from this "brilliant" idea of yours."

"I'm glad that you thought it was brilliant too." He smiled confidently.

"I was being sarcastic Naruto."

"Oh." He whispered as he scratched his hair. "I knew that."

Ino put her hand to her chin as she thought to herself. Naruto simply closed his eyes. He didn't feel like sitting around waiting for her to come up with some sort of plan.

"Ino just follow my lead alright. Come up with anything you want to say."

He started walking from behind the wall. He could see the other three kunoichi still standing in view. Naruto knew that he had to make this convincing.

"Come on Ino-chan how can you just say no to me like that?"

Ino thought for a moment before she spoke. "Well you haven't really given me any good reason as to why I should say yes." She fired back with her hands on her hips.

"Didn't I promise you all the ramen that you could eat? What more can you possibly want?"

Ino only looked disgusted for a moment. "Ramen is not the way to a girls heart you moron." She sighed. "I'm out of here but thanks for the flowers."

"Okay Ino-chan but I'm not going to give up." He shouted after her giving her two thumbs up.

"Whatever you say." She continued on walking until she was standing with her friends again.

"Ino what the hell was all that about?" Sakura asked first.

"I don't know." She shrugged her shoulders. "Don't ask me why he was acting so weird. I have no idea what the hell goes on in that crazy brain of his."

"No." the pink haired female shook her head. "I mean what was that back there. Did we really just see Naruto of all people ask you out? It doesn't really make any sense."

Ino paused. She knew that this would probably happen. She was trying to make Naruto understand that they needed to plan this out carefully. Ino knew that she had to salvage this mess somehow.

"Yeah I mean I thought that he liked Sakura still." TenTen said.

"Well maybe he decided to try his luck with other girls. It doesn't seem that forehead was willing to give him the time of day. So you can't really blame him for setting his sights on someone as beautiful as me." She spoke in a confident tone.

Sakura put her hand up to her chin as she seemed to be in deep thought. "No." she shook her head. "No that doesn't sound right."

Ino's eyes turned white as she fell to the ground. How dare Sakura make a rude comment like that?

"Oh…Ino-chan are you okay?" Hinata questioned as she helped the blond up.

"Hai I'm fine. What was that forehead! Are you saying that I'm not good enough for Naruto? Well if he's really all that great, maybe I'll just give him a chance."

She looked at the expression on the other three teens faces. It was hard to tell what each of them were thinking. But at the same time she felt that she had control of the situation again.

"There I think that takes care of that." She thought. "I have to go. I'll see you guys around."

"Right later Ino." They all waved.

The blond teen breathed a sigh of relief. She felt better that she had managed to at least fix a bit of the damage that Naruto had caused.

"Damn him for causing such a scene."

Although she hated to say it she had to admit that it was very sweet of him to give her flowers. And she could definitely say no boy had ever jumped off a roof for her. She couldn't help but to feel just a little flattered, even if it had all been for show.

"I knew that this wasn't going to be boring but I wasn't expecting him to give me flowers, or for him to come falling down a roof. I need to talk to him." She decided.

That night the blond girl found herself outside of Naruto's window. She had to do some asking around to find out where he lived though, other than that it wasn't that much of a challenge. She peeked inside to see him fast asleep. She tapped on the window he remained asleep.

"Damn he looks like he sleeps like a rock."

She tapped on his window hoping that he would hear her. Naruto only shifted in his sleep not bothering to wake up. "Naruto you idiot wake up!"

Ino tapped harder this time. Naruto turned around opening his eyes. He turned his attention to the window. "What the?" he blinked running the sleep out of his eyes. He was trying to make sure that he was really seeing Ino out there. He got up and opened the window.

"Ino?" He yawned. "What the hell are you doing out here?"

Ino came into his apartment leaning herself up against the window sill.

"I came to talk to you." She stopped when she saw the black night cap that he was wearing. "What the fuck is that on top of your head?" she pointed.

"It's what I always sleep in."

"And here I thought that your fashion sense couldn't get any worse. You've managed to out due yourself this time for real."

Naruto found that he was too tired to reply back to her at that moment. Another yawn escaped him. "Maybe I'm dreaming. Okay dream version of Ino I'm going to sleep now. You can see yourself out."

She sighed heavily before hitting him in the back of his head.

"Damn that felt real." He groaned in pain.

"Are you up now you moron? Do you finally realize that this isn't a dream?" She shouted.

Naruto nodded as he sat down again. He could see that there would be no sleeping for him, not as long as Ino was standing there. He thought that it would be best to just let her talk.

"It's more like a nightmare." He muttered.

"What was that?"

"Um nothing Ino-chan what did you want to talk about?"

"I just thought that I should let you know that I managed to fix some of the damage you caused earlier. I still don't know what the hell was going through your mind. You took it way too far. Sakura and the others were completely unconvinced by your display."

Naruto smiled apologetically up at her.

"Uh I'm sorry." He shrugged his shoulders. "So what happened after I left?"

"Well after we had out little confrontation. Sakura was curious to say the least. I tried to suggest that you asked me out because you wanted to try your luck with other girls. You know maybe play the field a little. Also I might have mentioned how beautiful I am." She spoke in a slightly amused tone.

"Yeah, yeah whatever you say." Naruto brushed off that last comment. "Then what happened?"

"Hold on I'm getting to it."

"Come on Ino-chan you woke me up at least finish the story sometime tonight."

Ino pouted resisting the urge to hit him upside the head repeatedly.

"Anyway to make a long story short I ended up telling them that I might consider giving you a chance?"

The spiky headed blond fell over landing on the floor.

"Get up you idiot. I saved our plan from being completely destroyed."

"Eh Ino-chan I don't get it. How did saying that save things."

"Don't you get it? I said that I might give you a chance. Now all you have to do is ask me out again and after some persuasion I'll say yes. Then we can really start putting this "relationship" into action got it."

Naruto nodded as he realized everything that Ino had explained to him.

"Okay Ino I got it."

"Good well I'm going to go home now. You seem to understand what to do. I'll see you around."

Naruto rose to his feet as Ino was leaving.

"Hey Ino wait up. I'll walk you home."

She blinked curiously turning around to face him.

"No really you don't have to." She tried to convince him.

"Yeah I know but it's late. It's not that big of a deal I'll walk you. Besides if we want to be convincing we have to spend some time together don't we." He asked her as he put on his jacket.

"Yeah you're right. Thank you though."

"Sure no problem." He gave her a smile.

There was an awkward silence as they walked to Ino's house. It was mainly because neither one of them knew what to say at that moment. After awhile Ino decided to speak up.

"Hey Naruto?"

"Yeah?" he asked turning his attention towards her.

"Those flowers they were beautiful. You didn't really have to give them to me."

"I'm glad that you liked them Ino-chan. It was all a part of the plan. I guess I didn't screw up everything huh?"

"No I guess not. Just promise me no more crazy ass stunts like that."

"Ha." He laughed. "I promise nothing."

"Yeah figures he would say something like that." She rolled her eyes.

The two blonds came to a stop in front of Ino's house.

"Alright Ino-chan home sweet home I guess."

"Yeah thanks again Naruto so I guess….."

Before Ino could say anything someone's voice was heard. This caused the both of them to turn around.

"Ino what are you doing with Naruto at this time of night?"

A/N: Oh cliffy. I wonder who saw them. R and R plz.
