Hello, dears! I know I took a lot to update this fanfic., but I decided to finish the Spanish version first. That way it wouldn't be tedious to write, because… if I'm being honest, translating takes a lot of time (even if I use an automatic translator).

Some phrases or written expressions are almost impossible to understand or doesn't make sense for an English-speaking person. For example: if I write "¿Para qué te haces?", a possible translation would be: "Why would you do that?", but literally it's like this: "For what you make yourself?"

Now you get the idea, so I hope you can be patient. Thank you very much!

Day #2

Ino was frustrated. Naruto's new hairstyle didn't impress Sakura. She tried to imitate the straight hair of Sasuke, but the other girl found it funny. That was a total failure and she didn't even insist in changing his outfit, nor his way of acting.

She didn't want to knock the door. Neither did she want to hear bad news from Naruto. She didn't want to hear that Sakura was disinterested and not even considering a friendship with him. They had gone too far just to get her master plan ruined. She will conquer Sasuke's heart no matter what.

"Just do it," whispered Ino.

She knocked lightly the door and immediately the blond opened it. His eyes were red, his hair was more disheveled than normal, and he only wore a pair of broken pants. He looked like a tired tramp, but his wide smile stood out from his appearance.

"The date went great. Although I had to get rid of the hairstyle," he said biting his tongue. "I didn't mean it. But everything else was fine, thank you".

Ino breathed deeply. The fact that he changed his hair was the least of her worries, she already got a burden out of her way. Soon she would be closer to Sasuke.

"Well, we should start with the other plan," she said quietly, but without hiding her enthusiasm.

Naruto frowned.

"Which one?"

"Which one? Are you serious?," she said desperately.

The boy couldn't get it.

"I don't know". The only thing he had in mind was Sakura Haruno. He was still excited for his great triumph.

"I'm talking about Sasuke-kun and me"

Naruto's eyes widened.

"Do you have another plan?," he said carefully. "One that doesn't have to do with it".

"I said that you wouldn't change your appearance," Ino rolled her eyes. "Get dressed and meet me at my family's flower shop. I'll be waiting for you".

That was the first location that came to her mind yesterday. It was perfect. She hardly ever encountered someone she knew, a friend or an acquaintance, that way no one would hear a single gossip. Besides, her family would never think she was in love with Naruto. They knew that her heart belonged indisputably to Sasuke Uchiha.

"Do you have a flower shop?"

"Damn, Naruto". She thought everyone knew about it. The establishment was called Yamanaka Flowers. Her mother, the store manager, would be offended. "Of course, we..."

"Why didn't you tell me, dattebayo?! I should've given flowers to Sakura-chan!"

She was feeling anger again and jealousy for the Billboard-Brow's great luck. It would be easier for Ino if her enemy was in love with Naruto, so no one would have problems. But soon she would be next to Sasuke Uchiha. Her prince charming would give her flowers, even more than Sakura could ever receive from Naruto.

Sasuke would be the most loving man in the world.

"Just get ready," said Ino with a grimace of disgust. "The shop is three blocks ahead of Ichiraku Ramen"

"Okay," said Naruto cheerfully. He was thinking of what reaction would the girl of her dreams have if she gave her a bouquet of flowers.

"See you later".

The girl walked away, and he said goodbye before closing the door.

"Hey," said the boy while entering the Yamanaka's store. "So, what's the plan?"

Ino was taking care of some plants, so she left her watering can on a shelf. It was a shame she barely poured them water, but she had been expecting to quit doing it immediately when Naruto arrived. She had wished for him to arrive fast. After all, both had a goal to achieve.

"It's simple," she said. "I'll go straight to Sasuke-kun and ask him for a date. Just like you did with Sakura".

Naruto made a slight noise with his throat. He thought she would come up with something different, a more elaborated plan. He walked through almost all the streets of Konoha just to hear that.

"What?," said the girl somewhat annoyed.

Naruto scratcheded his neck in a nervous manner. He knew she'd be mad, but he'd rather tell the truth. Anyway, he wasn't the best at hiding his feelings.

"You always do that, don't you?"

She was always after Sasuke, but that didn't mean she tried to ask him for a date. He was usually busy training and that stopped her. She would let him fulfill his goals, even if her wish was to be by his side.

"No," said Ino. "Now I'll try it".

There was a moment of silence. Naruto just nodded and Ino stared at him. He began to scratch his hands, a habit of his when he felt nervous or anxious.

"Do you think he'll say yes?"

He didn't know what she would achieve. Everyone who has encountered Sasuke knew he would ignore his fans. This infuriated Naruto because he wanted to be recognized and the other guy didn't even try to be polite... Maybe Sasuke would ignore her.

"I don't know," he shrugged.

It wasn't the answer she was expecting and that terrified her.

"But you're his teammate".

Naruto felt bad for her. He thought she would have more confidence to approach Sasuke and go out with him, because she had already declared her great love and admiration. That would have to take more courage. He didn't understand why she was acting like this. It was the first time he saw her in that state of mind. She could even be more positive than him, but now…

"You know that he is very serious and quiet," he answered. "I don't know what to expect".

Ino looked at the ground discouraged. Naruto wasn't very good at dealing with sentimental issues, but if she helped him with Sakura, he would return her the favor. He owed her. Now it wasn't simply because it was a part of a plan.

"But if I had a date with Sakura, why couldn't you go out with Sasuke?"

The blonde couldn't hide her smile. Naruto was really an optimist, a quality that she used to mock with her friends at the Academy. Now she was glad for it. Very few would keep their high hopes despite the obstacles and possible future problems.

"Thank you," said the excited girl. "You'll distract Sakura if you find her near Sasuke and me".

"Fine," said Naruto with his hands on the waist. "Let's start, 'ttebayo!"

The kunoichi walked down the main street of Konoha and there were no signs of her enemy. Naruto made sure that she wasn't around, hiding between the streets and nearby buildings. Her plan was working. The only thing she needed to do was to ask Sasuke if he could go out with her or not. Nothing more.

She would no longer get into unnecessary details like she did while planning Naruto's date. He had an awesome time with Sakura being himself. That's why she wouldn't dare to move a single hair.

She used to think that it was better to leave her hair long just for Sasuke, but did he really prefer it that way? If so, why would she care? If he wanted her as a friend or something else, he would accept her. Just like she did.

"Ready?"

The girl felt shivers through her body. Naruto had whispered in a crucial and delicate moment. He was lucky she didn't scream, otherwise the plan would have been ruined.

"You scared me," she muttered.

"Knock, it's not that hard, dattebayo," he said while looking at their surroundings.

"Why are you so desperate?," she said angrily.

"You've been standing here like twenty minutes," he said raising an eyebrow. "Do you want me to knock?"

"Relax," she crossed her arms. "I can do it by myself".

"Of course," he said in a clearly sarcastic tone, but she ignored it.

She looked with anger at the door, until that feeling vanished immediately. She felt her heart beating stronger as the seconds passed. The optimism that Naruto conveyed made her come right into Sasuke's apartment assuming she would be brave, but once she was there, the only thing that was in her mind was insecurity.

Naruto sighed angrily.

"You'll thank me later".

"No, wai…"

He knocked on the door and Ino froze. She wanted to scream until she fainted. It was too late to repent, and she couldn't beat Naruto because he wasn't even there. He was hidden who knows where.

"What's going on?"

Sasuke. That was his voice.

"Uh, hello," she said smiling nervously. "I'm Ino".

"I know," he said.

Ino wanted to say that he loved him since the first time she looked at him, that he was her world, that he was her inspiration to remain a kunoichi, that he was...

"What do you want to say?"

Ino had to do it.

She closed her eyes, looked down and clenched her fists.

"Do you want to go out with me, Sasuke-kun?!"

She opened her eyes and directed her gaze at the boy she longed for. She had said it. Sasuke would be with her and not with Sakura. He would love her no matter what. He would take her wherever she wanted while holding hands. They would be alone admiring the moon and asking the shooting stars to preserve...

"No".

... their love for the eternity.
