"What the hell do you want with me you creep?" Sasuke asked, glaring at Sai.
Sai just smirked, enjoying the sight before him.
Sasuke was bound by rope, tied to his armchair. He didn't want her running away now did he?
"Let's make a deal"
Sasuke rose an eyebrow at that, "What sort of deal?"
"I won't tell Naruto that you have feelings for him as long as you do one thing for me."
"Which is?"
"Keep Naruto as far away from Hinata as much as possible"
"But why?"
"So that I may be free to court her."
Sakura looked up when the lightning was heard. Ino saw the lightning strike at the branch above them and screamed. Sakura's eyes widened, seeing the tree branch falling. There was no way she was going to get out of the way now...
Damn...
"You...want to date Hinata? Seriously?" Sasuke asked, completely disbelieving what she just heard.
"Yes" Sai replied with a firm nod.
"Huh...didn't figure you as the dating type" Sasuke admitted.
"Neither did I you."
Sasuke glared at him but Sai just responded with a bored expression on his face.
"So? Deal?"
"How am I supposed to keep Naruto away?"
"By dating him of course" Sai replied, rather matter-of-factly.
"But he and Ino..."
"Naruto doesnt think of her like that. No need to fret your pretty little head over it. its just one date."
Sasuke groaned, "And HE thinks of me in that way? I doubt it."
"Maybe for now but he will"
"And how do you know?"
"Because I know"
"Naruto! You saved me!' squealed the pinkette.
Naruto just smiled, he helped Sakura back on her feet and Kakashi did the same with Ino.
The two shinobi had reacted fast when they saw the branch about to fall on the girls so they had ran forward, picked up the girls bridal style and saved them.
It was then when Sakura heard a chuckle from Kakashi, making her turn to see her sensei patting a red-faced Ino on the head who was wearing his shirt.
"Here"
Sakura turned back to Naruto only to see him holding out his top to her as well. It was then; Sakura finally remembered that she was topless. The pinkette gave a loud shriek before snatching the top and quickly putting it on.. Naruto resisted the urge to chuckle at his teammates's actions. However, his attention on Sakura was short-lived when he felt a familiar hand on his arm.
"Yeah Ino?"
"Could you take me home?"
Sakura was about to protest but stopped when everything became black.
"Why not just tell Naruto you like Hinata?"
"He won't believe me"
"Why?"
"Because...I told those two that I waD gay."
A heavy silence followed...
"SENSEI!" yelled Naruto.
"What? I didn't want another bitch fight..."
Naruto facepalmed, Kakashi had knocked out Sakura leaving her lying down on the cold pavement, unconscious. He was snapped back to reality when he felt Ino tapping his shoulder.
"So Naruto...can you-?"
"Why cant Kakashi-sensei-?" Naruto asked.
"Her dad isn't very fond of me" Kakashi answered for her.
Naruto resisted the urge to groan, why wasn't he surprised?
"Alright…" Naruto sighed, defeated.
Ino beamed and just like that, the rain stopped.
Finally, Sasuke broke the uncomfortable silence.
"Why?"
"Because at the time, I believed I was. I always knew I was different and at that time, I found males appealing to me so-"
"Ok! stop! I get it!" Sasuke yelled.
She really didn't want to hear anymore...
"So you're going to help me?"
Sasuke sighed, "Its not like I have a choice so fine...I'll do what I can"
Sai smirked in victory and took out a knife from his pocket.
"Good. and don't worry, I'll help you win that guys heart."
Sai went over to cut the ropes binding Sasuke. Sasuke stood up and wiped off the imaginary dust from her clothes.
"Thanks Sasuke" the girl heard the black-clad guy mummer.
Sasuke turned and saw the sincere look in his eyes.
He really likes Hinata...
Sai saw Sasuke's lips twitch as if she was going to smirk or something but what he got instead, was a hard punch to the face.
"That's for kidnapping me but you're welcome anyway."
Sasuke saw herself out leaving Sai alone on the floor, groaning in pain.
Sai removed his hands from his nose, only to find that his hands had blood on them.
Tch, looks like she got Hinata's strength now...
Sasayaki was not happy.
A shirtless Kakashi had come on her doorstep carrying her unconscious daughter. He told her that Sakura had got into a bitch fight with Ino, upset that Ino had asked out Naruto before she could.
Which was absolutely ridiculous to begin with!
After bathing her daughter and setting her down on the bed to sleep, Sasayaki lay on the couch and rubbed her temples in attempt to calm the growing migraine. She thought back to the shirtless Kakashi.
He was broad-chested and well-muscled with a very well-defined torso.
Rin sure was one lucky woman...
But what really arrested her eyes were the scars! Kakashi was covered in them: everything from tiny scratches and small scrapes to huge, jagged gashes. But all of those wounds paled in comparison to the huge burn mark located in the center of his chest.
It must have been some fire jutsu...
Even her own husband, Ren didn't have wounds like that
A few battle wounds here and there but still a nice torso, not as good as Kakashi but still a sight to behold.
Ren...
If only you were here to chase the boys away from our beloved Sakura...
Then maybe...she wouldn't have become like this...
Ino awoke to find herself in her pajamas, at home, in bed. She saw a folded letter on her nightstand so she took it and began to read.
Dear Ino
Lucky for us, your parents weren't home So there weren't any awkward situations. Also, Hinata happened to be passing by and helped take care of you. I took Kakashi's shirt too so I can wash it when I get back and pass it back to him.
By the way, whatever happened to Sasuke? She was with Sakura wasn't she?
PS: Looks like our date is on hold, how about tomorrow? Let me know if you're up for it.
Rest well,
Naruto
Ino smiled, she made the right choice in falling for Naruto
Then, she lay back down on her bed and drifted off to dreamland, dreaming about her date with Naruto tomorrow.
