Suteneko: Naruto! risen truth ruthless lies wanted me to give you this ramen!
Naruto: Really? Tell her I said thanks! *immediatly starts gobbling up the ramen*
Sasuke: *sweatdrop* She's not going to do something awful to me again will she?
Suteneko: No she said she was going to prank someone else. I saw her earlier with a bottle of blue hair dye earlier though...
Sasuke: Blue hair dye?
Naruto: Cut the chit chat people! Let's get on with the story!
Suteneko: Hell yeah! I do not own Naruto!
With the boys…
"So Naruto-kun, how is Sakura-chan?" Lee asked.
"I think she should recover pretty soon."
"How do you know that?" Kiba asked.
"Because I had been with Hinata most of the time when she had her trauma so I know what the sighs of recovery are."
Immediately, everyone went quiet. They all remembered Hinata's break down. It had been a frightening experience for all of them. Hinata couldn't stop screaming every time she woke up and saw her eyes in the first month she was at the hospital. There were even times she lost her voice from crying out so much. Those 3 months had been hell for the boys, they had all got to know Hinata in time and seeing her in that state had all struck a chord in their hearts.
Suddenly, they heard a familiar shriek.
"UCHIHA!"
Immediately, the boys got out of their seats and ran to where the girls were. When they got there, they saw a smirking Sasuke with an empty water glass in her hand and a very drenched angry Ino.
"WHY THE FUCK DID YOU THROW WATER ON ME?"
"Because you wouldn't stop spewing out crap" Sasuke simply answered.
Ino was about to retort but sneezed instead.
"I'm leaving." Sasuke said as she put down her cup.
Naruto stopped her, "Hold on a minute Sasuke, what just happened here?"
"Nothing you need to know about" Sasuke said as she pushed her way past him and the boys toward the front door.
Ino sneezed again, making Shikamaru & Chouji go over and check on her whilst Hinata, Temari & Tenten got up from their seats.
"We're going to go talk to her"
Later on...
"SASUKE! WAIT!"
Sasuke turned to see Hinata, Temari & Tenten running toward her.
"What do you want?"
"We wanted to talk to you!" Tenten told her.
"What? You want to tell me off on how immature it was for me throw water at Ino?"
Temari chuckled, "Hey, I would have done the same if Ino was pushing my buttons like that."
Flashback
"There are so many things Sasuke! We could even make a list! You want it in chronological order or alphabetical?"
Sasuke's eye twitched.
THIS BLONDE BITCH IS PISSING ME OFF!
"You would be bad for Naruto."
Sasuke raised an eyebrow at that, "How so?"
"You, are an arrogant pompous ass who's always troubling Naruto. Like hell he would ever consider even dating you."
Sasuke scowled, "And how are you any better? You're nothing but a bossy bitch."
"Fine I'm bossy, but at least I never shoved a chidori into someone's lung!"
Immediately, Sasuke froze.
"Struck a nerve huh?"
"Shut up!"
"He went through intensive surgery because of you! If Tsunade-sama wasn't there, he could have-!"
"I know! And I feel guilty about it okay!"
"Oh yeah? Did you ever apologize?"
Sasuke closed his mouth.
"Did you visit him?"
Sasuke answered quietly, "I was recuperating on my own, he was discharged before me."
"Okay, did you ever ask how he was?"
Sasuke hesitated then, "No"
"Then how did you know about his surgery?"
"Kakashi told me when he visited me."
Ino then deadpanned at obsidian-eyed girl in front of her, "Sasuke, what you did was unbelievable. Some of our own comrades had been severely injured because of you and if it wasn't for the Sand Siblings they too could have-!"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP INO! I KNOW ABOUT ALL THE DAMAGE I CAUSED! I'VE ALREADY DONE D-RANK MISSONS FOR ONE WHOLE MONTH AS PUNISHMENT! WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO HUH?"
"APOLOGIZE TO NARUTO AND TO EVERYONE ELSE!"
Sasuke then lowered her voice, "He said I didn't have to."
"What?"
"I wanted to but Nauto stopped me and said I didn't need to."
"He lied."
"And how do you know?" Sasuke asked skeptical.
"People always say that, but really, they want to hear the apology."
Sasuke remained quiet.
"Also, I think you should give him up."
Sasuke looked up at her.
"You've already given him enough wounds; he doesn't need any emotional ones if he involves himself with you."
"And what makes you think I would?"
"So you admit you like Naruto?"
"Why do you like Naruto?" Sasuke retorted, avoiding the question.
Surprisingly, a gentle and soft smile appeared on Ino's face, "He's so sweet, so kind, hardworking, determined-there's so many things I can say why I like him. No, I don't like him."
Ino paused and looked at Sasuke right in the eye, "I love him."
Sasuke was surprised, "D-don't b-bullshit! You were my fangirl! You said you were my number one!"
"I lied."
"What? Why?"
"Because I had to be Sakura's rival. I wanted to be close to her and look after her."
Sasuke paused and finally asked "How long?"
"What?"
"How long have you liked-loved Naruto?"
"Realized my love for him or what?"
"Realized"
"Since the Retrieval Mission."
Sasuke closed his mouth and remained quiet; he really didn't what to say.
"Anyways, like I said. You don't deserve him."
"And you do?"
"I am the best and Naruto deserves it."
Sasuke growled then, "Who the fuck told you that you were the best?"
"Nobody did but I know am. Why would Naruto want a bitter, sour bitch like you who's only obsessed about avenging her clan? He needs someone who can be there for him as a GIRLfriend. He doesn't need someone who was once a boy."
Sasuke scowled but Ino continued.
"Besides, you're going to die anyway."
"What?"
"You can never kill your brother Sasuke. He was a prodigy while you were desperately trying to win your father's approval. He even killed his entire clan on his own! There's no way in hell you can kill Uchiha Itachi. He would most probably kill you though if you tried to go against him."
That did it; Sasuke picked up her glass and threw her ice cold water at Ino. Ino let out a loud shriek in response, causing the boys to run over to where the girls were to see what was going on.
End of Flashback
"Even I have to admit that Ino-chan went too far." Hinata confessed.
"Won't she get mad that you guys are here talking to me?" Sasuke asked.
"Nah, she's too pissed about how you threw the water over her." Tenten told him.
Temari laughed, "Oh man! Did you see her face? Her expression was priceless!"
Tenten laughed, Hinata giggled and Sasuke smirked.
"Maybe it's not too bad being a girl if I have friends like these guys." Sasuke thought to herself
With the boys…
Shikamaru, Chouji and Asuma accompanied Ino home and Kakashi said that they were all free to leave. Kurenai & Kakashi left whilst Gai & Lee went off to train. But the boys however, did not want to go home just yet.
"So what do you guys want to do now?" Kiba asked.
"How about we all go see Sakura-chan?" Naruto suggested.
The boys shrugged, they didn't mind so they all agreed to visit Sakura.
Later on…
"SAKURA-CHAN!"
Sakura, who was being fed lunch by her mother, turned to see Naruto with a cheerful grin on his face.
"I BROUGHT FRIENDS TO SEE YOU! SEE?"
Naruto moved to the side so that the other boys could come in. The boys politely greeted her but all Sakura did was stare. After a few short minutes of staring, she turned back to her mother to be continued being fed. Kiba couldn't help but feel a little irritated; surely she could have shown some kind of reaction?
"I'm sorry about Sakura, she's still recovering" Sasayaki apologized.
That's when the boys noticed Sakura's mother there.
"It's all right" Shino told her.
Sakura's mother nodded and turned to smile at Naruto.
"Hello Naruto. How have you been?"
Naruto blushed, remembering his last encounter with her, "F-fine. And yourself?"
"I'm all right. What is that white box that's sticking out of your jacket pocket Naruto-kun?"
Naruto pulled out the box and smiled, "These are some chocolates for Sakura-chan; specifically white chocolates! I remembered how she always kept saying that she liked white chocolates whenever we talked about sweets."
"Oh Naruto, how nice of you! I'm sure she's love that!"
True to her word, Sakura held her hand out to Naruto to give her the chocolate. Naruto chuckled.
"You really want it huh? Can't blame you though, the hospital food here is pretty bad."
This joke managed to get an amused smile from everyone, except Sakura who just took the chocolate from Naruto and began to unwrap the red ribbon. Once it was undone, she opened the box, took out one chocolate and popped it into her mouth. Immediately, a small smile made its way on her face.
"She likes it!" Naruto cried out happy.
Suddenly, he found a chocolate forcefully put in his mouth. After chewing it and swallowing it down, he smiled.
"That was great! Thanks for sharing Sakura-chan!"
Sakura just let her small smile become wider in response.
Neji shook his head, he couldn't believe this. Not only did Sasuke and Ino like Naruto but Sakura as well?
Man, a major cat fight was going to happen and Neji sure as hell would rather die than get in the middle of it like Naruto would be.
Poor Naruto…
Sakura: SOMEBODY DYED MY HAIR BLUE!
Sasuke: O.o Her target was Sakura?
Naruto: You look really weird with blue hair Sakura-chan...
Sakura: Neji bald weird or Neji short hair weird?
Naruto: Hmm...somwhere like a cross in between...
Suteneko: Please review!
