Wow three chapters in one day. I AM ON A ROLL! So I've realized this story is going to have to be more than my original five chapters. I've also learned I seem to write in a lot of detail. But I love detail so whatever! Have fun reading!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO

What's with the green spandex

Naruto sighed he was in his friend Kiba's basement; Kiba was cool and all but his house smelled like dog, given Kiba's family owned a pet store that only sells dogs. There were other guys in the basement to, there was a guy named Shino who was obsessed with bugs, another by the name of Chouji, and lastly the weirdest of them all Rock Lee. Don't get him wrong Naruto enjoyed his friends but they were just so weird; he truly missed his old friends. He rarely heard news about any of them anymore given they all severed ties with him and each other. The only reason he did hear things about the gang was through his weird friends; you see Kiba and Shino were friends with Hinata, the three of them use to go to school together and Kiba knew a little about Sakura also. Chouji knew Shikamaru and Ino they all use to live in the same neighborhood until Ino moved to Sakura's neighborhood and Lee was good friends with Neji and Tenten for they were all on the soccer team in school plus Lee had an unhealthy obsession with Sakura. At least he was able to hear tidbits of what his friends were becoming; unfortunately he never heard anything about Sasuke if he did it was what party he went to and what he did while he was there. Naruto shook his head his life was a mess and so was everyone else's it seemed.

What it takes

Ino and Shikamaru were sitting with Hinata; they were conversing about the old times and even laughed bitterly about them. One memory came up which was funny at the time when Hinata said it but after a few minutes she looked down sadly. She wished she never mentioned when Naruto had asked her out at the coffee shop, some memories were too painful.

Flashback

"Sakura-Chan I can't do it."

"What do you mean? Of course you can it's just a girl!"

"Yeah a girl I really like."

"You never had a problem asking me out!"

"Yeah but you're Sakura she's HINATA."

"Well suck it up Naruto she'll be here soon."

"What how do you know?"

"She called Hinata idiot; you even watched her do it."

"Shut up teme no one ask you."

"Hn. Dobe."

"Sakuraaaaa-Chaaaaan make him stop."

"Shut up Naruto-baka!"

GASP

"Naruto she's coming down the street this instant! RUN SASUKE!"

"Uhm Sasuke you wanna uhm run?"

"Why am I friends with the two of you? One's a complete loud-mouth idiot and the other one is a pink-haired freak."

SNAP

"EXCUSE ME?"

RING RING GOES THE DOOR

"Yo forehead Hinata is in the building!"

"What the heck! Sakura were you planning on spying on me?"

"Uhm NO! It was Ino's idea I was just went along with it!"

"Who else is in that booth?"

"Chillllllll Naru it's just the rest of the gang."

"Ino how can I chill when-wait HINATA IS HERE?"

"U-uhm Naruto did y-you need something?"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA UHM ME WHAT?"

"Dudeeeee chilllllllllllllllllllllllll."

"Fuck you Ino just FUCK you."

"Naruto your mother needs to wash your mouth with soap… bitch."

"Tch so does yours Ino."

"Shut up forehead."

"Do you want to go?"

"FREAKIN. BRING. IT. HOE."

"STOP! JUST ALL OF YOU STOP! ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS ASK HINATA OUT ON A FREAKIN DATE!"

Chirp…

Chirp…

"Way to go Ino-pig none of this would've happened if you didn't pop up!"

"Sakura-Chan I think it's time for everyone to leave…"
"Okay bye Hina-Chan have fun!"

Insert suggestive wink here-

"Uhm…"

-Insert awkward silence-

"So Hinata… Wanna go on a date with me?"

"Sure Naruto, I'd love too."

End of flashback

Hinata looked at her hands then at the booth where Naruto asked her out; gosh she still loved him but she just couldn't believe what he did! He betrayed Sakura and everyone else by standing by Sasuke's side doing nothing.

Ino looked over at Hinata she looked like she was having fight with her inner self. Then Ino looked at Shikamaru he was also observing Hinata. "You know Hinata it's not all Naruto's fault." Shikamaru spoke.

Hinata looked a bit perplexed at the voice and turned to Shikamaru; she gave the look that asked what he was talking about. "For one Hinata he was struggling with himself because while you said nothing to Sayuri; Ino and Tenten did. You also have to remember Sasuke and Naruto have been friends for a long time, he just can't abandon a friend for some girl."

"O-oh that's so true..."

"Hey Hina-Chan you still like Naruto right?"

"O-of course Ino!"

"Kay well I got a plan why don't we go call Naruto?"

"Ino Yamanaka what's up your sleeve now?"

"Nothing Shika-kun, all we're gonna do is get the gang back together!"

Ring, Ring, Ring goes the phone

Naruto looked at his phone it was actually vibrating and the person whose calling was Ino; something must be up or it's a prank because Ino didn't even give a second glance at him. "Uh hey Ino; is something up?"

"Naruto-baka I, Ino Yamanaka princess of the land am coming over to Kiba's house. Don't even deny that you're not there I checked with Kiba and if you think about running away I'll sick Hinata on you."

Naruto swore he heard a 'hey that's so mean Ino' in the back round but shook it off he nodded to the phone the slapped himself because duh she couldn't see him. "Yeah sure Ino I'll be here."

"Kay now don't be leaving me."

"I promise I won't… pig."

"Naruto shut the fuck up."

"Whatever you say princess."

"Damn straight you listen to the princess!"

Naruto laughed and ended the call he hadn't had that much fun in a while. He sure missed fighting with Ino; but what was bugging him was what she wanted, did she want to be friends again? He knew she was with Hinata did Hinata want something? Oh no did Hinata get into a fight with Neji? All these problems were going through his mind he didn't noticed Ino coming in with Shikamaru and Hinata.

Ino rolled her eyes she knew Naruto was a mess but not this bad; she guessed it didn't help that she left him hanging and never told him what she wanted. "EXCUSE ME NARUTO-BAKA PRINCESS INO IS HERE!"

Naruto knew that voice anywhere he looked up and saw Ino in her usual blue shirt with jeans and sandals she also had her hands on her hips; she looked and acted the same. "Hey Ino what's up?"

"I have the coolest plan ever you'll love it!"

"The last time you said that we got grounded for two months."

"You loved it though!"

"True what's your plan?"

"We're getting the gang back together!"

"Including Sasuke?"

"Yep, my idea is brilliant!"

"Not really…"
"Do you have a better solution?"

"Not really…"

"Exactly!"

"So what's the plan?"
"Okay we're going to need your other friends, peanut butter and jelly, and parts of the old gang back."

"That won't be hard but what's the peanut butter and jelly for?"

"Duh I'm going to get hungry."

Like it? Hate it? You should review it!

So again not many characters like I hoped and not much going on with Sasuke or Sakura they get mentioned a few times but really they rarely talk in the present. They will eventually maybe by the next chapter it just depends on what I feel like writing… Well I hope you liked this and I shall update ASAP!
