"Where're we headed, Ino?"
Ino grabbed Naruto's hand and began to pull him behind her. "We're going to my favorite sushi bar."
Naruto smiled and patted his stomach with both hands as it growled. "I could do sushi right now."
As they walked to the front door, the staff of the Uzumaki Estate bowed as Naruto and Ino exited the building. As the two teens approached the gate to the cherry blossom grove, Ino noticed Naruto becoming apprehensive.
She prodded. "What's wrong, Naruto?"
"Well uh... We should think of some disguises for when we walk in. I tend to attract a bunch of attention wherever I go for some reason."
Ino gave Naruto one of the warmest smiles he'd ever seen; warmer than Haku even. She laughed a bit as she talked; "I think it's cute that you don't understand why that is!"
Ino looked back at Naruto, reassuring him as they began to exit the grove. "Give me a sec, I'll think of something, we may not even have to use henge."
Naruto sighed and nodded. They walked in silence for another 5 minutes and came to the exit of the park. Naruto looked at Ino in anticipation for her idea. Ino turned back at him and beckoned.
"Come here, Naruto." Naruto complied and walked over to Ino. She looked up at him and wrapped both her arms around one of his, pulling Naruto close.
"This should be enough to keep your fan club off us, no henge required."
"Oh! They'll think you're my girlfriend or something!" Ino nodded and pulled him along, she looked up at Naruto and warned him.
"You gotta meet me halfway on this. If you don't sell the ruse that we're an item, people will pick up on it and disregard the fact that I'm on a "date" with you. Got it, Naruto?"
Naruto nodded; "Yeah… hmmm." out of nowhere, he stopped Ino and kissed her on the forehead.
She froze; the street froze, everything, be it animal, or human, stopped in its tracks.
The girls on the street stared in surprise, and jealousy, especially since Ino wasn't exactly the nicest to Naruto when they were kids. Ino twitched a bit, mainly at the suddenness of Naruto's actions, but things like this were to be expected, especially from the #1 most unpredictable person in Konoha.
Even though Naruto had rather awkwardly moved into it, Ino had to resist the urge to maneuver him downward into a real kiss. She took a deep breath, and laughed to herself as she hugged Naruto.
Naruto appeared genuinely confused. "Did I mess up? That's what boyfriends are supposed to do, right?"
Ino smirked up at him and poked his chest. "You're fine! ... You'd better watch out Naruto, I might ask you to do that for real next ti... What's that on your neck?"
Naruto's eye twitched. Ino noticed and examined the mark closer.
He tried to deflect, but to no avail. "Oh, uh! Nothing in particular!"
"... IS THAT A HICKEY?! Naruto, who gave you that?!"
He muttered beneath his breath. "... Crazy snake lady."
"...Oh. Anko-san." While outwardly calm, Ino's heart didn't just jump into her throat, it leaped into the top of her skull. She turned pale and started shaking as she asked a second question.
"Naruto? W-what else did she give you?" Ino wanted to cry, Anko could easily steal any man from any woman that she wanted. If Ino needed three dates, Anko just needed a 5 minute conversation.
"As far as I know, just a hickey." Naruto's hairs suddenly stood on end as he felt a chill run through his body. He used his free hand to check himself and noticed a slip of paper in his pocket he unfolded it and read.
I've got a surprise for you, Naru-chan. Bring bandages!
~ Anko-sensei
Naruto's thoughts snapped back to how he and Anko met, and his skin went cold as he started to shiver.
Ino looked at Naruto's rather unreadable expression and discreetly read the slip of paper, looking more horrified with each word. She and Naruto began to look around frantically. They both checked behind themselves and saw the back of a very familiar trench coat. Without stopping, Anko looked back at Naruto and smirked as she licked her lips with her… abnormally long tongue. She appeared to be headed toward the Hokage's tower.
Ino unconsciously tightened her hold on Naruto's arm as they watched her retreating form disappear into the crowd.
"Naruto, I don't think I can protect you from Anko-san."
"It doesn't matter, this has gotta be just a joke to her."
"I seriously doubt that. Didn't you see how she was looking at you?"
Naruto gave a bashful shrug. "Meh, I know she gets a kick out of scaring me. It can't mean anything."
Ino relaxed a bit and let go of Naruto. He jumped a tad when Ino pinched his cheek as she spoke. "I'll let you figure it out Naruto. I think it'd help if you came to understand it on your own"
Naruto prodded the platinum blonde for more information. "Come on, Ino! You're talkin' like it's obvious, it's making me feel stupid."
"Well, I'd label it more cute than obvious." Ino laughed looked deep into Naruto's eyes as she smiled, this made Naruto blush a little. "Don't worry about it, Naruto-kun."
Ino inwardly thought to herself. 'It won't matter. I have it all figured out, even with Anko-san after you. Just three "dates".'
Naruto felt reassured for some reason, so they continued to walk down the street hand in hand, turning heads of men and women alike. Ino had a huge smirk on her face; everything was going according to plan, Anko notwithstanding. She deliberately chose this sushi bar because it was on a crowded intersection, Ino wanted to make sure as many people as possible saw them. She didn't even like sushi, but the fact that she was on a "date" with Naruto, and the guarantee that he would be playing along made it all worthwhile. The entire point of this outing was to create a buzz.
Naruto tensed a bit as they walked past a women's clothing store, girls started to file out as the "couple" passed. Ino mouthed "don't worry" to Naruto and pushed her breasts into his arm, he tensed even more. This caused Ino to smirk at the jealous females as she gave them a spiteful flip of her hair.
Naruto looked on in awe as there wasn't a single word said to him by any girl as they walked toward their destination. Ino was stunning, though she'd only had about 45 seconds to get ready for a date, nobody would have been able to tell unless they saw exactly what she did. The village girls, be they ninja or civilian, piled on top of each other at the entrance of the clothing store. They stared in downtrodden silence as Naruto and Ino walked toward their destination. Naruto's sharp ears could hear their whispering.
"How do I compete with her?"
"That's Ice-Queen Ino, of course she'd get to him first."
"He's mine as soon as she kicks him to the curb."
"Why's everyone go after her first?"
"Oh, so the one guy she doesn't turn down just has to be him?"
Naruto looked down at Ino, whose mind was elsewhere at the moment, so he chose to break the silence.
"I take it you're even more popular with guys now?"
Ino postponed the planning of "Operation: Naruto" for a moment to answer the question.
Ino exhaled and nodded. "Yeah. I'm not even going to be modest. It's kinda funny actually. I have my pick of whomever I want, but every guy I like is either taken or has… different preferences. Of the two guys I've dated since you left, both of them just saw me as a conquest, so I cut them loose rather abruptly… guess that's how I got my nickname."
Naruto grabbed his chin. "I think I understand. Sort of."
Ino looked at the crowd of girls following Naruto and herself. "You'll be in my position in about a week, you'll understand then."
Naruto's stomach growled. "Hey! That's the place right?"
"I believe so."
Sakura's day wasn't exactly going as planned. She'd always found it weird that Naruto garnered as much attention as he did from such immensely powerful people. From the day she learned that Jiraiya was training him for the chuunin exams, to the moment she learned that he was responsible for bringing Tsunade back to the village.
Now, Tsunade wanted to talk to him, and it's apparently so Important that not even she could hear about it. It was funny that Sakura had known Naruto for so long, yet had known nothing about him. She'd been to his house, she'd been to the training ground, even Ichiraku's ramen stand. Not a single trace of orange.
Sakura reflected on her conversation with Ino the previous day, almost crying in embarrassment as she described how she'd fainted in front of all those people. And then how she threw Naruto out with a bogus excuse, Ino just laughed the whole time. "Told you so!" She really did tell her so, when Ino,especially Ino, says that someone is hot, it's usually an understatement. When someone was capable of meeting the "Ice Queen of Konoha's" expectations, you listened. Sakura didn't and she payed for it. Ugh, Kakashi and Naruto would never let her live it down.
She walked down the main street, hoping to the gods that she'd run into Naruto today. She was a little worried in fact, especially considering that when she used her key to Naruto's apartment, it was borderline empty. There was almost nothing, even the beds had been stripped. She'd wondered if he moved out, but some of his things were still there, so that couldn't be the case.
As Sakura aimlessly walked down the street, she noticed a line of women wrapping around the corner, and coming down the dusty street toward her. As far as Sakura knew, there weren't any sales on hot new fasions or anything else stereotypically girly, believe me, Sakura would have known. In fact, she'd have been first in line.
Sakura's ears twitched when she heard the word "Naruto". She practically ran up the street and around the corner. The line was coming from a sushi bar, and between the line and the other women fighting to get to the window, there wasn't much to see.
"Naruto must be eating in there."
'SHANNARO! GET THOSE BITCHES AWAY FROM HIM! HE'S MIIIIIINE!'
Sakura shook her head. She'd started speaking her mind ages ago, her inner persona shouldn't even have existed anymore.
'Where'd that come from? I thought I was done holding in my true thoughts and emotions.' Sakura thought to herself in confusion.
'Eh? YOU'RE SO DENSE!'
Sakura inwardly frowned. 'I'm not lying to myself, so what IS that?!' She considered going to get examined for schizophrenia, but finding Naruto came first. She walked up to the crowded entrance and yelled.
"OI, GET THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY!" The girls all jumped and parted to allow Sakura to see the door. She saw several waiters and waitresses trying to hold the door shut. Sakura walked up to the door and smiled as she daintily tapped on the glass.
"I need to get in. It's official ninja business. You can let me in, or I'll let myself in."
The staff wisely let Sakura pass, but immediately shut the door behind her. The next thing Sakura saw annoyed her, to say the least. Ino was feeding Naruto hosomaki rolls. This was supposed to be Sakura's day off, and her master summons her for work at noon, and here Naruto was stuffing his face, and Ino was stuffing it for him.
Sakura wrinkled her nose. "Piggy-chan? Why're you here?"
Ino didn't look up as she popped another sushi roll into Naruto's mouth.
"Naruto offered to take me to lunch, so in return, I'm playing his girlfriend for the day to keep the local fan club off him. Open wide!"
Naruto opened wide and swallowed the roll whole.
"Oi baka! Chew your food!"
"Hey Sakura-chan! Did you come to eat too?"
"No. I'm here to tell you that Hokage-sama wants to see you ASAP."
Naruto stopped looking like a chipmunk when he swallowed the remainder of the sushi.
"Oh thanks! Oi Ino, this'll be enough to cover for both of you if Sakura want's something too." He dropped some bills on the table and stood up from the booth. Naruto effortlessly picked Sakura up by the shoulders, as if she were a small child. Sakura took a sharp breath as her cheeks turned a bit pink at the sudden contact and weightlessness, reminding her of the day before.
"I need to get past, Sakura-chan."
"Oh. S-sorry."
Naruto then turned to the side and plopped her down.
Naruto gave her a hearty smile. "Have something to eat, I insist."
Naruto looked great, especially with the way the light was hitting him. Sakura went into a full on blush as Naruto walked to the door.
Luckily he didn't see it, he was currently staring at the restaurant staff, they were still trying to hold the door shut. He sheepishly scratched the back of his head, and used a shunshin to go to the Hokage's Tower.
Sakura looked at Ino suspiciously as she sat down. "What're you planning, Piggy-chan?"
Ino smirked. "Let me lay it out for you, Forehead."
