Naruto patiently waited for Kiba to speak after he finished explaining what happened with him and Ino after the Sakura incident till now. Kiba was processing everything Naruto told him. Huh. Well I am happy for Naruto and Ino, it seems like they deserve each other. I'm still a little jealous because Ino is hot as hell though. With that thought Kiba started to still and slapped Naruto on the back. "I'm happy to hear it whiskers, hope everything goes well tonight."

Naruto just rolled his eyes in annoyance. Kiba is pushing it calling me whiskers! "Oh it will Mutt, oh it will." Kiba would normally yell and cuss the fox boy out but tonight was a special occasion. Also it seemed Ino would beat the shit out of him if he did.
Kiba looked at Naruto and said, "We should probably head back now." Naruto simply nodded and they turned to head back to the group. They started to but Kiba saw that Ino and tenten were talking by building about twenty feet from them. Naruto stopped and wondered why Kiba suddenly froze and then saw why when he noticed Ino and TenTen. He inwardly groaned as Kiba turned around with a mischievous gleam in his eye and mouthed, "Follow me". Naruto sighed when he saw Kiba jump onto a building. If we are going to do this we are going to do it right. Kiba saw Naruto wave him back down and he glared at him as he jumped back down into the alley. "What the hell-" Kiba started on the way down until he saw Naruto hold up his hand and stick his pointer finger and middle finger up and concentrate. Naruto henged into a random girl and motioned for Kiba to henge also. Kiba smirked when he realized what to do and henged into a random man and held out his arm and 'Naruto' took it. They both walked towards the building that Ino and TenTen were under, completely inconspicuous. Hinata noticed that two people walked out from the same alley that Naruto and Kiba were in. She muttered Byakugan and she saw that it was really Naruto and Kiba in disguise. Guessing at what they were doing she turned off he Byakugan and acted like nothing was wrong.

TenTen was giggling until she noticed the 'couple' walk a couple feet away and lean against the building. She sensed that it wasn't just a random couple but it was, in fact, Naruto and Kiba. Call it women's intuition. So she played along. "So Ino how do you really feel about Naruto?" Ino looked at TenTen with slight surprise at the sudden question. "What do you mean?"

"How do you think he looks, what you like about him, how much you actually like him, you know, the works?" Ino looked towards the group and saw Naruto and Kiba hadn't returned yet. I have time to tell her real quickly.

"Well to be honest I think he is pretty fucking hot. I love the fact that he is so loyal to the village and his friends. I don't really know how much I like him I just know I do. I have actually liked him since he saved the village from Pain of the Akatski. Then during the war he showed everyone just how far he had surpassed us all. I felt like I was of no help during the war unless I was with Shika and Choji. By myself I wouldn't have done anything to help and probably only gotten in the way. So after the war I have been training like there is no tomorrow just to try to prove to him that I am not worthless in a fight and that I could stand beside him and everyone else when the going gets tough." TenTen's eyes widened in surprise at all of this. Wow… she really like Naruto I would say she nearly loves him, even if she doesn't know it yet. TenTen then had another idea, "It is a shame Naruto didn't hear any of that. He would probably be shocked, to say the least." With that said she looked Ino in the eye, looked over to the alley suggestively, then at the 'couple' behind them. Ino looked at her in confusion. Why did she look at the alley Naruto and Kiba are in after saying that, then look at the couple… OH THOSE ASSHOLES! TENTEN YOU ARE A BITCH! YOU KNEW THE WHOLE TIME DIDN'T YOU! TenTen saw the anger in Ino's eyes and knew she was going to pay for this later.

Ino on the other hand was only mad at TenTen because she didn't let her know what she was doing before now. You are going to pay for that dearly next time we train together TenTen. Or I may be thanking you, it all depends how this turns out. Ino waved her hand in the air dismissively. "Oh well I guess he just missed out then." Then she turned around and headed towards the group, so did TenTen. All the while she kept an eye out for the 'couple' and sure enough they walked back to the same alley, and moments later Naruto and Kiba came back. Ino looked at Naruto as she slipped her hand back around his waist, "Did you guys have a nice talk?" Naruto swallowed involuntarily. "Uh yea we did, he just asked a few questions ya' know." He scratched the back of his head. Ino smiled and knew she caught him red handed and he did too. Though it apparently just dawned in her what he actually heard since she started blushing. Naruto saw this and chose not to say anything about it. I'm just lucky she hasn't pounded me into the ground yet. The entire group continued to walk for a little bit while until a thought occurs to Naruto. "Hey where's Shikamaru?" With that said everyone in the group except Ino snickered. Choji is the one who answered, "He is uh… a little busy right now with Temari."

"Whattaya mean he's…" Naruto trailed off as his eyes widened in revelation. He felt Ino tense and pulled her tighter to comfort her and looked into her eyes. He saw tears starting to form and knew he had to get her out of there.
Naruto looked back at the rest of the group and said, "Hey guys we will see you later." And before anyone could protest he turned on chakra mode and held on tightly to Ino and was gone in a flash of orange. I hope you know what you are doing Naruto, TenTen thought to herself as the group continued on to the festival.

Ino had held onto Naruto for dear life as he carried her bridal style. It seemed like it was only seconds before the sound of the busy streets of the leaf village were gone and Naruto put her down. She saw where they were and looked at Naruto with curiosity. "Why did you bring me on top of the Hokage Mountain?" Naruto looked at her with concern in his eyes, "Because I saw you were getting upset thought of the first quiet place I could take you and I thought of here. This is where I used to come as a kid when I was upset. It is just so calm and you can see the stars so clearly up here. When Ino stepped forward under the moonlight and looked at the stars Naruto's heart started to beat faster. Damn she looks so beautiful under the moonlight… Naruto didn't know what he was doing from that point on he was just doing what his body compelled him to do.

Ino was star in a trance at the stars. How have I never been up here before it is absolutely amazing! Ino was broken out of her trance by strong arms and warm breath on her ear. Instantly she got butterflies in her stomache. He is getting more comfortable around me. "So Ino do you want to talk about the Shikamaru thing? I know it is painful to talk about but it does help." Ino cringed at what he said. I know he means well but I cant… I… I am just not ready to talk about that. But this is Naruto so he won't do anything to hurt me… but I am still not sure…

Naruto felt the hesitation Ino was going through and sighed. I am going to have to do this if I want to gain her trust completely. "Ino I should tell you something." Ino was brought out of her thoughts by Naruto's words. "Okay Naruto what's up?"

Naruto let go of Ino and spun her around staring into her eyes. He breathed in deeply and began, "Ino when you stepped in front of Sakura that day, and I flashed in front of you I didn't do it because you are just my comrade. I did it because I have liked you almost since the academy. The only reason I chased Sakura was to cover that up. I was and still am shy about that kind of stuff. Over the years I pushed any thoughts of liking you out of my head to focus on my training. It's almost as if I had repressed them completely until Sakura was about to punch you with everything she had, that my feelings came flying back to me. Ever since that day more and more feelings have been coming back." Ino's eyes widened in shock and almost collapsed on her knees but stood strong. Ino was about to speak when he continued all the while staring into her eyes.

"But tonight… When I saw you come down the stairs with your dress on, all the missing pieces just seemed to fit into place. Ino I really like you; I don't quite know how much I just know I do. I just hope you feel the same." Ino stared into his bright blue eyes before she answered, "Well I would go through my whole story with you but I don't think I need to." Naruto narrowed his eyes and was about protest when she finished with four words.

"I know you heard." With that said Naruto froze waiting for her to scream at him. Ino stepped back from him and punched him lightly in the top of his head. When she saw him close his eyes and grab the top of his head she thought to herself, Now is my chance!

Naruto had his eyes closed in pain and grabbed the top of his head. I guess it could have been worse; wait maybe there is more coming! He cringed when he felt Ino move towards him until he felt soft, warm lips crash into his. Ino! What the fuck?! He hesitated to return it and thought, Fuck Inoichi! Naruto returned the kiss and they stayed like that for a few more seconds until they both drew their lips away, their foreheads still touching. Naruto shakily opened his eyes and saw Ino still had hers closed and was breathing ragged breathes.

"So Ino how do you feel now? Do you trust me enough to tell me what's bothering you?" Ino didn't answer for a few seconds. That was better than any of Shikamaru's kisses… He was so… Passionate about it… "Uh, well, um, yea I think so." Ino replied still visibly shaken by the kiss. Naruto smirked, "Good, but how about we do that again Ino-hime?" She looked over at him as he winked at her and she blushed. Oh fuck it. They both leaned in and locked each other into a warm lip lock as the stars shined down upon them…
