Added some lyrics to this chapter, for reason to me it fits nicely. I don't really like doing songfics, but it is what it is I guess. Let me know what you think.

I don't always have someone to read over this, so if my grammar/punctuation/spelling/whatever is off, sorry. Please Review after reading, good or bad I really like to know, so please spend a few seconds telling me what you think. Enjoy.

Chapter 7: She loves me, She loves me not.

Naruto couldn't think straight, too much was happening around him and the alcohol wasn't helping. He spent the past few hours dodging Ino, after what happened back at his apartment he wasn't sure what to do. He had enough, this was pointless…he was tired of running. He found her in the corner of the room with some guys he had never seen before. He clenched his fist as he walked up to her.

"Ino! I need to talk to you!" He tried to yell over the music.

"What? I can't hear you!" she continued to dance with her drink in hand.

"Come with me for a sec!" He yelled in her ear. She followed him upstairs and into what seemed to be, one of the many, guest bedrooms. He was glad she wanted to leave the party to talk, it was too noisy, there were too many people around and Naruto wanted this to be private. He brought her here for one simple reason. He wanted to know why. Why did they lie to him? He couldn't wrap his mind around the idea that all of his friends would just outright lie to him about this. Naruto couldn't help but notice the song playing in the background, he felt like it was being played from his mind, for everyone…and her to hear. Sadly he felt as if it was giving him confidence.

~Got a big plan, his mind's set, maybe it's right
At the right place and right time, maybe tonight
In a whisper or handshake sending a sign
Wanna make out and kiss hard, wait never mind

Late night, in passing, mention it flip to her
Best friend, it's no thing, maybe it slipped
but the slip turns to terror and a crush to like
when she walked in he froze up, leave it to fright"

It's cute in a way, till you cannot speak
And you leave to have a cigarette, knees get weak
escape was just a nod and a casual wave
Obsess about it, heavy for the next two days

"Why did you and everyone else lie about us? I don't remember everything, and maybe that's a good thing, but I was going to remember at some point. I don't get it…why not just tell me…"

It's only just a crush, it'll go away
It's just like all the others it'll go away
Or maybe this is danger and you just don't know
You pray it all away but it continues to grow

I want to hold you close
Skin pressed against me tight
Lie still, and close your eyes girl
So lovely, it feels so right

"I remember all those feelings…and I know you do too…"

I want to hold you close
Soft breath, beating heart
As I whisper in your ear
I want to fucking tear you apart

Then he walked up and told her, thinking maybe it'd pass
And they talked and looked away a lot, doing the dance
Her hand brushed up against his, she left it there
Told him how she felt and then they locked in a stare"

They took a step back, thought about it, what should they do
Cause there's always repercussions when you're dating in school
But their lips met, and reservations started to pass
Whether this was just an evening or a thing that would last

Ino walked up and pushed Naruto up against the wall. "You really want to know why…" she asked. Naruto nodded, she began to kiss him.

Either way he wanted her and this was bad
Wanted to do things to her it was making him crazy
Now a little crush turned into a like
And now he wants to grab her by the hair and tell her

I want to hold you close
Skin pressed against me tight
Lie still, and close your eyes girl
So lovely, it feels so right

I want to hold you close
Soft breath, beating heart
As I whisper in your ear
I wanna fucking tear you apart~

Naruto's mind ran wild as she slowly slid her shirt off above her head. He knew he shouldn't have drank anything, especially what Kiba was feeding him. But it didn't matter now, any and all questions he had, were thrown out as soon as she made contact. She pulled him in for a final kiss before pushing him onto the bed.

"Still wanna remember?" she asked.

Naruto grinned in response. She smiled as she walked over the door and locked it, and soon the lights followed.

Naruto slowly took a sip from his cup of coffee as he sat in back patio with Kiba, Chouji and Shikamaru. It was early in the morning, and none of them could explain how or why they were up this early. Naruto slowly leaned in and slugged Kiba in the arm.

"What the hell was that for!?" he exclaimed.

"For making me drink that shit last night…" Naruto replied. "So… I started to remember some things." The boys gave a light cheer. "I wanna talk about something first…namely Ino."

Kiba and Chouji laughed, Shikamaru sighed as he pulled out a cigarette. "The first thing you remember has to be the most troublesome memory…" Naruto snagged the freshly lit cigarette out of his hands. "Since when?" he asked.

Naruto smiled. "During my travels…We all have our little secrets. Besides it's nothing to be worried about."

"Mmhmm." Replied Shikamaru. "Continue already."

"First off I wanna say I don't remember everything...but it all started yesterday..." Naruto went on smoking the cigarette and recapping everything that happened yesterday, not leaving out a single detail."I don't have to remember the conversations to know I've asked you guys this before...but what I am going do?" The guys sat in silence not really knowing what to say. Naruto laughed from the awkward silence.

"Tell her you love her." Chouji said, killing the silence. The other three froze up in surprise. "Seriously. Whether you remember or not, you've done nothing but say "Sorry"."

"Chouji…" Shikamaru sighed. "When did our lives turn into a romance novel?"

"Yeah, but what about Sai? Hinata has said some things but nothings been set in stone yet. Anything you wanna share Shikamaru?" Kiba grabbed the smoke from Naruto. He waved his hand around to silence them before they could ask. "Blah, blah, secrets blah."

"From what I hear, Sai wanted to have a family and Ino to settle down. Ino of course, being as proud as she is, freaked out and protested. This went on for a few days and she finally just called the marriage off out of anger, of course, but he didn't leave for that reason alone. There's a power struggle going on in ROOT, even as we speak, and he had to return. So whether they are actually divorced is still unknown, though her sleeping with you does raise some questions. Chouji has it right, if you love her then lay it on the line and tell her. The smart move would be to research it a bit and then tell her, but knowing you…well…" They laughed as Naruto grumbled to himself as he slowly stood up and wiped the ground crap off of his clothes.

"Good luck." Was the last thing he heard before he began to head to Ino, he had made up his mind, he was going to tell her. Naruto walked up to her room quietly as to not wake anyone else up in the house, when he heard sobs coming from behind the door.

"I…I don't what happened! We were talking; he's telling me he remembers things I said to him and the next thing I know I'm on top of him. I love him Sakura…I truly do…but with everything that going on…and Sai! Oh god Sai…I can't do it…I just can't do it."

"I can't believe you Ino…this is going to kill him, you know this," Sakura responded sternly.

"I know…"

"God damn it!" Sakura yelled. "I'm seriously sick of dealing with this. I'm sorry to say, but enough already. You need to pull yourself together and figure out exactly what you want." Ino cries became muffled. She must have been crying on Sakura. A hand was carefully placed on his shoulder. Naruto turned around to see Sasuke.

"We have to talk." He whispered.

Naruto frowned as he shook his head, but followed him regardless.

Maybe it's because I'm writing this, but I feel like this is wearing thin and getting worse, or even that I'm repeating already said things. My head really starts to hurt and honestly keeps me from writing more often…I really need to have someone to read this over. Either way thanks for still reading, while I have a mental breakdown. ^_^
