A/N
I don't ship Neji/Ino too, but they are an interesting dynamic to think about.
And besides, I'm an Ino trash so every Ino pairing is interesting to me!
[Ino x Neji] – Girl's Day | Don't Forget Me
Contrary to popular belief, Ino's one true crush had always been Neji.
She liked how serious he was and the man had a mysterious charm to him, something she thought rivaled most guys her age.
It had been a little difficult to get his attention before, but after the Chunin exams, Neji's attention wasn't that difficult to grasp. He became a changed man, all thanks to Naruto.
Even now, Ino writes in her diary; of her fluttering feelings for the said young man.
Neji really is the best, Ino wrote down seriously, but sometimes I think he's not much of an affectionate person.
"What's this about not being affectionate?" A sudden pair of arms grabbed her by the waist, leaving Ino red in her face.
"N-Neji!"
"Is it really a problem that I prefer to be affectionate for you only?" He whispered in her ear.
"N-Neji!" Ino managed a reply. "Stop using your byakugan to read my diary!"
