DISCLAIMER: I DON'T own anything of Naruto. (Just increasing Sakura merchandise, books, DVDs, a puzzle, a Nintendo Switch game, clothes, plushies, action figures etc. . .)

Author's Note: I'm a female, leave it at that.


HAPPY NATIONAL SIBLING DAY

Paris In True Danger:

BearfootTruck: Um. . . You may want to re-read the one-shot. Sorry my BFT honey, but I believe you misunderstood it. *Sad Smile* Cecilia doesn't want to kill Gabby but make a temporary alliance. Thanks for the Favorite here.

ChloeBenjamin: Okay, I'm done playing nice. . . I LOST MY FATHER YESTERDAY! I DON'T HAVE THE SAINT PATIENCE TO DEAL WITH YOU SO CALLED DIGITAL ARTISTS!

rachlnoah: READ ABOVE YOU! You digital artists need to get a life. Seriously, all you whiners mange to do is force happy genuine authors to leave this site. Regardless, more Rent A (Really Shy!) Girlfriend coming up.


"Is she. . ." Shikamaru trails off asking as he walks up to Naruto, whom greeted ShikaIno outside Sakura's apartment building.

His oceanic blues eyes sadly close, shaking his sun kissed blonde head. Looking Shikamaru in his deep brown eyes, "Losing Kizashi yesterday and now that female thing, my Cherry Blossom is just furious at the world right now."

Naruto sighs sadly, the ebony haired IQ over 200 nods sadly as well. Still he kisses Ino on her right cheek. At the action Naruto finally registers her there.

Ino Yamanaka gives a tiny smile to her boyfriend. She nods to Naruto. "Well misery loves company. My girl won't be alone." Walking past Naruto she leads them inside the building.

XXXXXXXXX

Munching on a towering pile of junk food, the surrogate sisters lay sluggish top Sakura's couch. Their boyfriends' place a kiss to their girl's respective head. Sakura looks up from her framed picture of her and her father Kizashi when he held her sleeping 2 year old self smiling at the camera as of course her mother Mebuki took the shot.

"We'll be in the kitchen, if you two need anything." Naruto smiles as Shikamaru nods with a wink.

Just before either guy are gone, "Shikamaru don't smoke in the kitchen!" Sakura growls out, said genius sighs putting his unlit cigarette away.

"Good one Sakura, I'm trying to get him to quit!" Ino states glaring at her boyfriend as Naruto himself gins smugly.


THE END!
