My One and Only Teme ??.

Ino grumbled. Asuma-sensei had told her to go look for Forehead and her new replacement best friend. Gai-sensei had insisted on Tenten following her, and when she asked why, he replied by saying it would be extremely youthful. It was obvious she looked awkward going alone, when the others went into the forest with their close friends. She thought about Sakura, and their fight during the Chuunin Exams. She thought about how their friendship ended in seconds, and in place, a rivalry was born. She thought about how their friendship was broken over a boy, who realistically, would never give either of them the time of day. Slumping her head down, she slowly walked, waiting to hear Sakura's stupid voice. The voice of her ex-best friend. When the two finally ventured past the middle of the forest, Ino's head perked up. She heard voices. She grabbed Tenten's arm, and motioned for the girl to be silent. The two girls quietly made their way to the large Sakura tree. And sure enough, Ino could hear Hinata's quiet mumbles.
"-I love Naruto-kun, but, ever since Neji nii-san told me to start being more attentive, it became obvious that he has feelings for a certain-"
"A certain who?"
This time, Sakura's voice was heard.
Ino and Tenten listened on, but the name of the certain person was never mentioned. Once again, grabbing Tenten's arm, Ino ran quickly, but lightly, so she wouldn't be heard. Tenten attempted to do the same, though her various weapons banged together, and made loud clunking noises. When Ino was sure that they were out of the forest, away from Sakura, she pulled Tenten towards her.
"Did you hear that?"
"Of course I did!"
Tenten giggled, her inner fujoshi shining through,"I bet Naruto likes Sasuke." She then awkwardly chuckled, "I'm sorry, you like Sasuke, right? Just- Just ignore everything I said. Okay?" The girl murmured, with a surprisingly annoyed tone. Like the tone of an upset little girl.
"Actually," Ino started, "I don't think I like Sasuke-kun anymore. I admire him, but, since he never liked me, and he still doesn't, it would be a waste of-"
Tenten's eyes lit up, "Will you join my Sasu-naru fanclub?" She interrupted.
Ino laughed, and raised her eyebrows. She folded her arms, "Don't you mean Naru-sasu? Sas-uke is uke, it's literally in his name, Tenten."
Tenten raised her arms, giggling, "Sure, Ms. Yamanaka."
"Come on! Let's go meet Naruto, then we can ask him." Ino said, grabbing Tenten's arm once again, and running quickly, to no particular destination.
"Do you know where Naruto lives?"
"Eh?" Ino questioned. Right at that moment, Tenten let go of her hand, and she ran right into a shop stand.
Tenten, who had gone to speak with Neji, did not notice the young Yamanaka crash, and ignored the noises.
The stand was unoccupied, so there was no offer to help, for the young girl.
"What a drag."
Ino heard a voice. It was her teammate Shikamaru. He didn't offer a hand, or lift her up. He just stood there. Looking as though he hadn't gotten enough sleep the previous night. Looking like he was bored about the whole situation.
The blonde girl pulled herself up, by herself. With nobody's help. Nobody helped her. She pointed a finger towards Shikamaru, who still had a bored look on his face, "Why didn't you help me?"
He gave a lazy glance in her direction, "You could do it yourself, why would I need to help you?"
Ino groaned, "Why are you always- always like this! H-Hai, why are always like this Shikamaru! You act like you barely have any emotions!"
He quizzically stared at her, before looking away again. Ino groaned again. Then, her eyes lit up, much like how Tenten's did when she asked her to join her club. She had an idea.
She advanced towards the boy, untying her hair from the ponytail, like she did when attempting to seduce Neji. Shikamaru raised an eyebrow, staring lazily at the Yamanaka, as she moved towards him. She flipped her hair, and winked at the young Nara, expecting a hooked up boy in response. Instead, Shikamaru yawned, and his attention went elsewhere. Ino frowned, grumbling as she tied her hair back up. How does he always predict my next move? She thought, He does have a high IQ. And he's pretty smart. But still! I know, I'll do something he can predict, but he wouldn't expect! Hai! I'm a genius! Ino laughed to herself, then she looked around, making sure no other Team's members were watching. She lightly tapped on Shikamaru's shoulder, to grab his attention. When he didn't look back at her, she hit him a little harder. Then, she gave up on trying to get his attention, and moved in front of him. Hurriedly, she pecked him on the cheek, and ran away from him, peeking behind her shoulder to see the slightly flushed Nara, who stared at her with a confused look on his face .
Ino sprinted, gaining more speed with every step she took. Her speed then betrayed her when she crashed into Tenten.
"Oh! Sorry Tenten!" The blonde said, awkwardly waving her hands at the brunette.
"I'm fine, " Tenten laughed, "Shikamaru though? I'm not so sure. He looks dazed. I wonder why..."
Ino turned bright pink, and she shook her head violently.
"Eh? How did you see me? I checked, nobody was there!" Ino's eyes then widened, as she realized how suspicious she sounded. "I don't say that as if we did anything! Because we didn't!" Ino lost track of what she was saying, and words started to spill out, "Though I did peck him on the cheek. But it was only a peck. A peck on the cheek. Not on his lips, on his cheek."
Tenten gave her a grin, "It was still on his face though."
Ino let out an exasperated sigh, and decided to change the subject.
"Where did you go to?"
"Eh? Me? Well, while you were pecking Shikamaru, I met with Neji and our Sensei's, to ask them if they knew where Naruto lives."
"And?" Ino grumbled, ignoring the brunette's little comment.
"And, they said they didn't, but Kakashi-Sensei did, and that he was at the Ichiraku ramen restaurant."
Ino smiled, "Then what are we doing here? Come on! Let's go!" The blue eyed girl attempted to grab the other's hand, but she was met with air.
"No more running! You could fall!"
"I already have." Ino mumbled, remembering her awkward encounter with the shop stand, she winced.
"Well, that proves my point, come on, let's walk." Tenten said, grabbing the blonde's wrist and slowly walking.
...

"So, yeah, I totally think Neji is gay, for reasons that are classified for now..." Tenten whispered once they arrived at Ichiraku Ramen. Ino sighed and rolled her eyes, "It's the hair, isn't it?"
Tenten sweat dropped, and faced opposite the young Yamanaka, quietly muttering to herself, "Is it that obvious?''
She then looked at her female companion, who was red all over.
''What's wrong Ino? Is Shikamaru around here or something-'' the brunette was interrupted when she received a smack to the back of her head from Ino, who was even redder if possible. "Worth it." Tenten mumbled, "Definitely worth it.*
"Look, Tenten.'' Ino whispered, grabbing her friend by the chin, and facing her towards a mask-less Kakashi- Sensei and a profusely blushing Iruka-Sensei, who was intently watching the jounin eat.
"Oh...'' Tenten whispered, wiping her now bleeding nose.
"Oh, indeed...''
