Wow it's been a good amount of time since I uploaded, SORRY! I kind of got wrapped up in some trouble at school but thats fixed. Not being expelled TODAY!

On a Wednesday, the sun was hot and the sky was a bright, light blue. There was a slight breeze in the air and the songs of nature danced around Sakura. She laid on a lawn chair under the big oak tree in her yard. The cool shade covered her body with th expection of her feet. Sakura was reading a magazine with a glass of water on a table next to her. All while her Chihuahua slept on the ground byside the chair. "Sakura, the phone's", called her mother from inside the house. "Please be Sasuke, please be Sasuke", she hopefully thought to herself. Her mother called again- "Al- RIGHT", she responded with a hint of aggrevation in her voice. This awoke her puppy who followed her to the kitchen.

She pulled back the slideing door and picked up the phone her mother left on the counter.

"Hello?" she asked anxiously.

"Sakura? It's Naruto", the voice said on the other line. Sakura replied with a sheeplishy "No" while petting her puppy. Naruto asked whats wrong but that was answered with a "nothing". "Anyway, I don't think I'll be able to make our date today. Something has come up and I can't reschdule". Sakura had a unnoticible reaction. She just hummed a song whilist putting food in her puppy's bowl. "It's okay. Me and Aimi will stay here, bored and read "Persons" all day" Sakura said. Naruto apoloigized and said goodbye then hung up the phone.

Sakura looked at her puppy once more and said "It's alright, Naruto. I also have other plans."

Sakura got dressed in casual clothes and headed out the door and down the street. I should go downtown, she thought to herself. She walked about a mile before stopping at Ino's family flower shop. Looking through the clear glass round the various display flowers, she saw the blond behind the counter with her face buried in a gossip magazine. What a poor employee. The only reason she works here is because she is Inochi's daughter. I bet she uses cheap shampoo- "HEYY INO!" They embraced in a hug.

"SAKURA! You came by!" replied Ino.

"You look great!" said Sakura.

"You too. So how is life in the flower shop?"

Ino yawned and leaned against the counter. "Well you know. Fall asleep, get yelled at, wake up."

"How boring"

"You need to get laid."

Ino eyes opened wide and put her index finger to her lips and made a shushing noise. "They're in the office". Sakura apologized and asked Ino what are they going to do later on.

"I'm going to that club downtown. What about you?" asked Sakura. "Work."

"I told you, you was boring." Ino filled her finger nails. "No not boring. I'm 16, single, and works in a flower shop. I'm not bored, I'm depressed." Sakura laughed, turned and headed out the door.

Time Skip

Naruto stood with Shikamaru at the bar and ordered a drink. They moved to corner table and scooped the scene. "Alright listen, if you see a guy randomnly standing around witha 'my rival stole my girlfriend' look that means a couple things, 1) he's looking for someone 2) it may be a gang hit 3) it could be Sai" Naruto looked at Shika and questioned him, "was that a joke?" he asked. Shika blinked, "Was it funny".

"A little..."

"Well alright then"

They were approched by a small number of girls but most of them were throw aways. Then Ino walked up on Shika from behind and put her hands across his eyes. "Guess who?" she said. "Uhh... Mom?" Shika said. Ino let go of her grasp and stood in front of him. "Oh-yeah. Ino! I-I totally knew that. Um-hum ab-sol-utly" Ino and the Shikamaru talked while aruto gazed around the bouncing heads in the crowd. He began to be borec when, he saw Ino, who was now seated, taking glances at him when Shikamaru looked away. At first he brushed it off as merely conversation mannerisims until one time, he knew she smiled in his direction. He snapped his head her way and she was pulling Shikamaru out the seat toward the dancefloor. They had their backs turned. What was that all about? Was she really looking at, ME? NO! Of course not. I always overreact. Ino looked back at him, smiled, and waved. What. The Fuck?!

He saw them dance for awhile and Shika came back and said he was wasted and would sleep in the car. Sai would go too to listen to the morning crowd chatter. When he saw them leave, Ino jumped in the seat across from him. "Hello, Naruto!" she said with a big smile. He jumped back and scrathed his head. "H-hello Ino."

"How good of a dancer is Shika" he asked. "Lik a manniquin." She said and they shared a laugh. They sat there a entire hour and traded jokes with each other. Ino asked about Naruto's night, which he shrugged out a okay. "Okay? That can't do." she got up and sat close by Naruto. "How well do you dance"

"Lik a crab"

"How well do you drink"

"Lik a crawfish"

"smoke?"

"Lik a lobster"

"What does that mean?!" Ino said laughing. "I don't know!" They laughed again. "Whats your phone number?" asked Naruto. This surprise caught Ino off guard which caused her to blush. "Why do you need it" she said. Naruto played with his hands on the table. "So we can continue our conversation later." Ino begin to questioned this but Naruto pushed a paper out at her. Once she finished, he pocketed it and ran to the dancefloor.

I KNOW THATS LEE! Naruto punched the figure down with his fist hard to the point he tought he heard a crack. He looked down and saw Rock Lee, lying on the floor wiping blood from his lip. He looked up and saw Sakura with a tear picking Lee up. He turned around and saw Iruka signaling two people to Naruto. When they arrived, they grabbed him and rushed him outside. When they got out, the sky was still black and people where still waiting in line. They turmed to the parking lot and saw Sai sitting in the passenger seat with the door opened. They screamed at him to move and they put Naruto in the back seat. Shikamru was moved to avoid being hit. Iruka ran and hoped in the driver seat, starting the car and drove off.

Naruto sta looking out at the stores through the rolled down window. A cool wind from the car hit him and the noise drowned out the racket of the radio. Naruto looked down and saw his best friends blood on his shirt.

Sorry for the late post again. I will try to upload more frequently for now on! Seeya LATER!
