AN: Thanks for more reviews. They were very nice. Tomorrow, I will be going to my sister's house and I won't be back until Monday. And she doesn't really believe in these websites, so no posts til Monday… But alas, I will post… two chapters today. The third one would be posting, but I have some work to do on it (sigh). Again, read Naruto's Narrator, it's really funny. Here's chapter 7…


Temari smiled, as she jumped through the trees, or rather Ino smiled in her body. Temari was cursing a lot, as Ino was in control (just in case, you can't guess, Ino used her jutsu dealie on Temari). Eventually, when Ino had decided Temari was far enough out of Konoha to not be found, she released the jutsu and returned to her body, which was in a tree in Shikamaru's yard.

She jumped out of the tree and knocked on Shikamaru's door. Shikamaru opened the door.

"Temar-oh, it's you." He tried to close the door, but Ino stuck her foot in it. She invited herself in.

"Where's Temari?" she asked. Shikamaru had a hurt expression.

"Why do you care?" he asked.

"I heard you and Temari broke up." Ino said, trying to look sad, but failed and ended up looking smug.

"How did you know? We just broke up a second ago." Ino faltered for a second.

"I was just passing by and I couldn't help, but overhear." Shikamaru glared at her. "Listen, Shikamaru, she wasn't good for you."

"How do you know?" Shikamaru asked.

"She would probably say anything to get you back." Ino said, grimly. "She's just a big liar. And she cheated on you and her husband."

Temari burst through the front door. Shikamaru looked hopeful, but a little speculative.

"Temari?" he asked. Temari panted, trying to catch her breath.

"Ino had me under her jutsu deal!" Temari yelled, walking quickly toward Ino.

"See! See! I told you!" Ino yelled, hiding behind Shikamaru.

"Who are you going to believe, me, or that scheming little—" Temari cussed.

Shikamaru looked from Ino to Temari, torn between his long-time friend and his long-time love-interest…

Meanwhile…

Naruto laid unconscious in the basement.

"What should we do with him, Master?" Sakura asked. "Shall I go fetch Sasuke?"

"No. We need to wait, until nightfall. If the blonde girl comes back, again, make sure she leaves quickly, but don't act suspicious and play your role." A sinister voice said from the darkness. Sakura bowed.

"Yes, Master." Sakura stepped back and exited. She walked up the stairs and proceeded to the kitchen, almost walking into Ino, who was looking p.o.ed at the moment. "Ino?"

"Sakura! It didn't work! My plan was so perfect! But he still picked Temari! And then, she tried to kill me!" Ino raged.

"What are you talking about?" Sakura asked, in a dumb voice. Ino explained her plan.

"See, it was perfect! Not a single flaw! I'm so mad!" Ino shouted, pacing around the kitchen.

"I'm sorry." Sakura said, politely. "Hey, Ino, I'm-uhm-cleaning, you know? Can you come back later, maybe tomorrow?" she asked, knowing that by tomorrow, everyone in the house would be gone. Ino looked at her, suspiciously, before shrugging and rummaging through the refrigerator.

"Well, I'm gonna get frickin' wasted, you sure you don't wanna come?" Ino asked.

"I have to watch after Sasuke, I can't get drunk." Sakura explained, quickly.

"He seemed fine yesterday."

"Well, he's got a cold, now." Sakura explained, patiently. Ino shrugged and left through the door. As the door closed, Sasuke came stumbling down the stairs into the kitchen.

"Sakura, I can't remember what's been going on. How long have I been here? The last thing I remember is fighting—" Sakura put her finger to his temple. He fell limp into her arms.

"We'll have to fix that, again." She muttered, before carrying him upstairs.
