So this is my first crack at writing a fanfic. I always imagined I'd be writing a NaruHina fanfic first, but I've been reading alot NaruIno lately, and the pair is growing on me. Anyway, I hope you like it. Sorry if the characters seem a little OOC, especially Ino, who seems to have taken on alot of Hinata's traits, but hopefully the story will explain that reasoning. Anyway enjoy ^_^

Update: Hi everyone. I just wanted to give a quick update on the status of chapter 2. Chapter 2 is finished, but I'm currently having trouble uploading it here on fanfiction, but as I figure out the problem I'll have it up in a jiffy. Thank to all of you who enjoyed the story, and I hope chapter 2 will be worth the wait. Thanks again.

"What is it you don't like about me, Naruto-kun?" the sky-blue eyed woman cried. "Why is it always her?"

"Ino was pouring every ounce of emotion she had that day. It was baffling, Ino and I. The emotions she had shown that day were straight from the heart, emotions that I would've thought would be reserved for my best friend, Sasuke, as I knew she was deeply attracted to him like just about every woman or girl in this town was, and it made me wonder what brought about these emotions."

"Ino and I hadn't always seen eye to eye, and while I did find her to be quite an attractive woman, the attraction stayed at a cosmetic level. Ok I'll be honest, when I was younger I had minor crush on her, but as I got older, I found myself less attracted to her. Ino was always just too rough around the edges for me, personality wise, but I suppose Sakura wasn't too far off either, huh? I swear, those two might as well have been sisters ahahaha. *Sigh* But what are these feelings I have now?"

[And So Our Story Begins]

Chapter 1: Ino's Anatomy

Things started off normal as usual in my hometown of Konoha. I woke up, showered, ate breakfast(Ramen, of course XD), and went on my way to college. Along the way, I would meet up with Sasuke and Sakura, and the three of us would make our way to Konoha University. It's been a week since we all started college, and this was a daily ritual I wanted to maintain.

"Yo!" I yelled. "Sakura-chan! Sasuke! Over here!

Sasuke and Sakura had always been my friends from day 1 at Konoha Elementary. Truth be told, I didn't always like Sasuke. Even in our younger years of elementary school Sasuke was somewhat aloof, yet popular with the girls, even garnering the attention of my young crush, Sakura, whom I still very much have interest in, made better grades, and was considered the playground hero who protected weaker students from the bullies; Know credit to me being his partner. That's not important, though. Overtime I got to know the real Sasuke and we've been bestfriends since.

As far as Sakura goes, well, let's just say I wish her and I were more than best friends.

"We see you, Naruto," Sakura scolded. "Stop drawing attention. It's embarrassing."

"Heh. Sorry Sakura-chan."

"Never thought you'd be here before us, Naruto," Sasuke proclaimed. "Usually we have to wait on you."

"Of course I'd be early, "I retorted. "Today is my acceptance into the Leaf Fraternity. Shikamaru and the gang will be there too. Of course, that leaves only you now, Sasuke."

I gave him a pleading look, basically urging him to join with me. After all, he is my best friend. Something told me he wouldn't go for that idea. Sasuke was content with all the other activities he had going to want to join the frat group.

"Forget it, Naruto," Sasuke said his eyes looking straight ahead as we walk. "I have enough on my plate. Plus, I practically see everyone on a daily basis here, let alone the constant parties split between you or Kiba."

"Pft. You'r no fun," I proclaimed with a contorted look on my face.

"Well, if it makes you feel any better, Naruto, I'm joining the Leaf Sorority," Sakura announced with a smile that could make the gods themselves melt.

"Eh. Really, Sakura-chan?" I gleefully shouted, the sparkle returning to my eyes, as I grab and hold fast to Sakura's right hand with the both mine. "So awesome."

"Um. I-It's not that big of a deal, you know," Sakura refuted, an expression inferring I let go of her hand A.S.A.P. "Anyway Ino, TenTen, and Hinata will be there for sure, so I can't wait to see them. Should be fun."

"Definitely," I agreed. "See Sasuke? Even Sakura said it would be fun. I think you should totally take up on the offer and join. The group isn't complete without you."

"Tsh. You guys will live," Sasuke retorted with a half smile. "Besides I'm going to see you guys this Friday at Kiba's party anyway."

"Yea, yea."

"Well I couldn't count on Sasuke to join, but at least I was good enough friends with Shikamaru, Kiba, and everyone else. I won't be completely bored," I thought.

Our school was approaching with 20 minutes to spare before class. I'd get to chat it up with everyone and meet my frat brothers.

"Well guys, I'll see you all later," I said as we entered the university.

"Bye, Naruto," Sakura responded.

"Later Naruto," said Sasuke also giving his momentary farewell.

I rushed down the hallways at what seemed like mach speed. It was all of our freshmen year in college, with the exception of Lee, TenTen, and Neji, who were in their sophomore year and Sai who was a junior this year. It would be everyone, at least at our frat meeting. I was at a good pace, and I could feel the room was getting closer and closer.

"Hey? Watch it!" one guy shouted as I grazed right past him.

I kind of ended up almost bumping into several people along the way. Damn my excitement.

"It's room B202, right?" I asked myself, retrieving the sliver of paper I wrote the information on. It wasn't long before I took a complete crash-course from what would be the trigger to several confusing events between Ino and me.

"Ouch," Ino yelped dropping her books and notebook in the process. "What the hell, Naruto? Can't you watch where you're going idiot?"

"Heh. Heh. Sorry Ino-chan," laughing off the accident. "I'm kind of in a hurry."

I helped Ino gather her things and handed them back to her with a great big smile before apologizing one more time.

"Uh…N-no arguing this time?" She asked. "Not even a slight challenge? And did you just call me Ino-chan?"

I'm not sure what it was, but she looked at me with somewhat of a red flush across her face. I didn't take much of a notice to it at the time, as I was in somewhat of a hurry, but something was definitely up at that point.

"I'll see you later, Ino-chan?" I waved as I sped back down the hall toward my set destination.

"B-bye, Naruto."

I'd finally made it to the room where all the guys had waited patiently for my arrival. Choji, Kiba, Lee, Shikamaru, Shino, Neji, and even Sai were all there patiently waiting for things to commence.

"Man, it's about time you showed up," Kiba ranted. "I was bored to tears."

"Heh sorry guys. Hallways were kind of crowded you know?"

"Whatever," Shikamaru interjected. "Let's get this thing started before some of us go to class. It's troublesome enough waiting."

"Agreed," Neji responded.

"Well we can't commence until our superiors have shown up," Lee piped up.

"Well where are they damn it?" fussed Kiba. "I'm getting restless here. I don't like waking up early for nothing."

"Y-"

"Alright pipe down you little shits!" a voice exploded forth abruptly cutting me off from what I was about to say. "It's time to get things started."

"Way to show who's boss, huh, Hidan?" followed another voice just as boisterous as the last.

The first man could easily be described as a tall, 22 year old man with slicked back grey hair, and extremely light purple eyes. The man wore fairly tight black shirt with the worlds KILL in a bloodlike font, as if the words were going to continue to run down his shirt. His pants were black as well with rips and tears throughout them. His shoes were a black with the rims being white, and he sported a black wristbands on each wrist with both having a creepy skull on each one. He was definitely not the kind of guy you wanted to mess with.

The other guy was a couple inches shorter than his friend. The age-range was definitely about the same as this Hidan guy. His hair was blond with a ponytail and a bang similar to Ino but both shorter in length and the bang being on the left side of his face instead of the right, and his eyes were a lighter shade of lavender. If one didn't look correctly, they'd assume he was a woman who confused herself into thinking she was headed to the sorority room. He wore a pair of plaid shorts, the colors being white and black overseen by a predominantly white shirt with the sleeves clearly ripped off, and featured an open mouth with its tongue out and a clay bird on it for the logo and the band name "Art Is A Bang" under it. They're a good band. You should listen to them sometime.

"Who the hell do you think you are, huh?" Kiba roared. "You know how long you guys had us waiting?"

Kiba was definitely one of the scrappiest friends I had, but I really didn't think it was a good idea for him to pick a fight with this Hidan guy. Before Kiba knew it Hidan was in his face ready to assert his authority. He and the other guy were seniors after all.

"You wanna' do something about it asshole?" the grey haired lunatic shot with one of the most malicious smiles I'd ever seen. "If so, I'm ready for a fight."

I felt kind of sorry for my dear friend, Kiba, but I was too scared shitless to come to the guys rescue and I wasn't the only one either. Even Neji was slightly intimidated, and this guys a class-A brawler. I should know. I fought the guy a long time ago, though, yours truly still won. Of course Sai and Shino were the only ones unaffected, but those guys practically lack emotion as far as I can tell, so it wasn't all that surprising.

Kiba was speechless as the more truculent Hidan hunkered over the earlier scrappy fellow. At this point the blonde metro had made his way to the front of the room.

"Alright I think these guys get it," he proclaimed.

Hidan seemed to have taken pleasure at our frightful faces, especially at Kiba's, being that the poor outspoken fool was the target. As he moved himself from Kiba he kept on the slightly evil smirk and let a little chuckle before heading up to the front with his comrade. What a scary guy he is.

"Well, now that we've got you guys attention, let's start this thing with a bang," the blond said now with his own malicious smile. Perhaps I should have just taken a page from Sasuke's book and left this fraternity thing alone. It wasn't looking so fun at the time.

"Welcome to the Konoha University's Leaf Fraternity," he announced still holding that maleficent smirk. "It looks like we have several new faces here this year. Before we leave here, Hidan and I, Deidara, want to give you newcomers your initiation quest. And trust me it'll be a bang."

The meeting ended shortly after and everyone began heading to their respective classes. Of course, each of us died a little inside after it was all said and done. Of course, I had the initiation to look forward to.

"How troublesome," Shikamaru complained. "No one told me we'd have to deal with people like them. Let alone fulfill such a ridiculous demand."

"What are you talking about, Shikamaru?" I questioned. "Sure those guys seemed a little stern, but the initiation they gave us makes that forgivable."

"I agree with, Naruto," said Kiba. Despite those two being complete hard-asses, this initiation will be downright pleasurable.

"Sure. If you ask me this all seems too troublesome," Shikamaru complained. Besides, I have too much of my own self dignity to maintain. I'm not a perv like you two. Hey are you guys listening?"

Of course, Kiba and I weren't listening in the slightest. The both of us were already planning our execution for our assigned "initiation" among other pervy things that Shikamaru has already made clear. College is sweet.

"I can agree with you Shikamaru," Choji confirmed, with his hand on his friends shoulder and acknowledging that he heard his friend. "But we only live once, right?" Choji gave his friend a big smile. Shikamaru was shocked to see his best friend planning to play along in, what seemed like, childish shenanigans to the level-headed genius. Alas, he couldn't help but let out a slight chuckle.

"You too huh, Choji?" He responded with a slight smile, his hands deep in his pockets. "I suppose it can't be helped. And as troublesome as it may be, we'll have to leave the planning up to me.

"Hai." Choji nodded.

"Well here's my class," Shikamaru said making his exit from the group. "Planning at my dorm after school, ok guys?"

Everyone agreed and went on their way, Choji going first, then Kiba and I to our Anatomy class.

"Ugh. Anatomy," Kiba sighed. "Why did we sign up for this class again?"

"Because you were following Hinata and I was following Sakura," I stated with a sigh of my own.

"Right," he said hanging his head in regret.

Hinata and Sakura noticed us right away as we had walked into the class.

"Oh, hi Kiba. Hi Naruto," Hinata let out in her usual quiet tone.

"Oh hey guys. How was your meeting?" Sakura asked.

"Lovely," Kiba announced, in a rather facetious tone. I could only simply laugh at the brief moment that had transpired between the outspoken Kiba and the more threatening Hidan. At that moment I'd noticed Ino, who also was in our Anatomy class, was looking at me. We met eyes, but not for long, as the embarrassed blond quickly took her gaze off of me, pretending to be reading her Anatomy textbook. There was a coat of red across her cheeks. Of course, I didn't really pay much attention at that time.

"Yo. Ino-chan!" I yelled, as I made my way over to the blushing blonde. I could see her twitch at the sound me calling her name. At that time, I really thought she didn't want me talking to her, but assuredly that wasn't the case.

"Y-yes, Naruto," she staggered.

"Hey, I just wanted to apologize one last time for bumping into you earlier," I said letting a little bit of a chuckle out as well.

"I-It's no trouble at all really," the blonde woman responded, again staggering over her words. Ino didn't look at me as she talked; her face lit an incredible red. This was unbecoming of here, being she was just as outspoken as Kiba and very rarely stuttered.

"Uh. Ino-chan?" a said a bit puzzled by the sky-blue eyed woman's behavior. "Are you ok? You don't look well."

"Huh?" she looked up with curious eyes. "I'm f-fine."

"You sure?" I questioned now worried for the blonde woman. "You should probably see a doctor or something." I placed my hand to her forehead to feel her temperature. Safe to say, she was redder than an apple after I put my hand on her forehead.

"Naruto!" Sakura beckoned. "I think Ino's fine. You can leave her alone."

"Eh? I was just trying to make sure one of my friends is ok," I explained.

"Naruto, you're as dense as ever," Sakura retorted. I didn't understand what she meant at the time, but I'm sure she knew very well what was up with Ino.

"Hm?" I wondered perplexed by the statement.

"Alright class. Let's begin," said our teacher, Shizune as she walked into the classroom.

I made my way to my seat which was located behind Kiba, but next to Sakura. Before class completely commenced, Sakura leaned over to ask Ino, who was located on the other side of the pink-haired woman. I'm not sure what she asked, but I didn't really pay it much mind.

Nothing particularly was going on. Our teacher went on and on about bone structures and some other nonsense I didn't care about, Kiba was flirting with Hinata, and Sakura was too busy taking notes to even talk to anyone. Just when I was about to doze off, something caught my attention.

"Ok class, just to get a better grasp on the male and female anatomy, I want you to partner up with someone of the opposite sex and explore how their facial structure, their bone structure, muscle structure, et cetera," I heard her explain. I was too overjoyed by this particular project. I'd get to examine Sakura's, well, "anatomy". My mind ventured into areas men, and woman alike, should be forbidden from even seeing or doing. Well that was until…

"However, to avoid any confrontation, I'll be pairing everyone up," she said now crushing any endeavors I had of advancing with my dear Sakura. I could only sink and hear the sound of a dream being shattered.

"Well all the women in this class are hot, so it still works out," I thought to myself with some optimism and then allowed myself to fall back into my pervy train of thought. "Oh yea, life is good.

"And one more thing," Shizune-sensei said. "No touching of the naughty parts. That's anatomy you all can find out in the privacy of your own places." And so Ero-Naruto's dream was crushed again.

"And Now for the pairings," our teacher said with great enthusiasm. "Please listen closely."

Throughout the process, I crossed my fingers hoping Sakura would be my partner and, for the third time today, was disappointed by the results.

"Sakura and Haku," the teacher announced. I could only hold my mouth open in shock. How the hell does Haku count as guy anyway? However, Sakura accepted the choice and made her way to her partner. As far as Kiba and Hinata are concerned, Hinata ended getting paired with some other guy, in which, Kiba was not too thrilled about it, but nonetheless, like Sakura, Hinata accepted who was chosen and went on her way, soothing Kiba's worries in the process. It was kind of messed up, but amusingly funny for me to watch Kiba overreact.

"Ino and Naruto," the teacher stated part way finished with her pairing. After an amusing display from Kiba, I made my way up to the gorgeous blond who seemed somewhat shocked at us being partnered up.

"Well it looks like it's you and I, Ino-chan," I confirmed a grin stretched my whiskered face. To be honest, I really didn't mind being partnered with beautiful sky-blue eyed blonde especially with how nice she seemed to be that day.

"Y-yes," Ino replied staggering over the simple word. Ino had begun turning red again.

"Hey, you sure you're alright?" I questioned. I noticed she'd turned red again. Haha, Sakura was right. I was really dense not to have noticed.

"I-I'm fine," Ino reassured.

"Alright class. Now I want you all to feel the movements of the joints and muscles through placing one hand there and moving the limbs with the other," our teacher explained pointing at various locations on a dummy of some type. "It doesn't matter whichever of the two you goes first. That is to be discussed between the two of you. Now let's start, shall we?"

I looked around the room to observe what was going on with my 3 other friends. Haku wasted no time in experimenting on Sakura's body. Who'd have thought it? I could have sworn that guy was, well, crooked. Of course, Sakura was a little on edge with Haku's unexpected aggressiveness.

"H-hey, damn it!" she yelled punching Haku in the head. "Watch where you're placing your hands."

"My apologies," said Haku with a slight nervous chuckle, perhaps afraid to be hit again if he tried anything else. Well at least I knew Sakura held no interest in Haku. I looked over to where Kiba was. He had his eyes dead set on the person partnered with Hinata. I could tell his partner was having a hard time at it. After all, Kiba's attention wasn't on the assignment.

"Kiba, will you pay attention for a second?" some red headed woman with glasses beckoned. Karin, I think her name was. "I need you to move your legs for me for a second.

"You keep your hands to yourself you bastard!" Kiba spurted. He wasn't quite intending the words for her, but it's easy to confuse these kinds of matters, I suppose.

"What the hell did you say to me?" She yelled punching the agro male in the side of his kneecap.

"Ouch. The hell you do that for!" he roared irate from have his leg nearly broken.

"Studying your anatomy," the woman responded as if she'd done nothing wrong.

"Like hell!" he responded sharply.

Safe to say an argument erupted, in which, Shizune-sensei had to quell. Meanwhile, Hinata was trying to keep an overly aggressive, Suigetsu in check. It didn't do much good, being Hinata is far too abstentious to really be aggressive herself.

"Um, Mr. Suigetsu, please refrain yourself from any inappropriate touching," she whispered trying get her request through to him.

"What inappropriate touching?" Suigetsu responded feigning ignorance to any such thing. "This is research. No "inappropriate touching" here. He'd continued to study here body and made several sly attempts to test his boundaries and was rejected every time.

"Eek!" Hinata screamed instinctively palming Suigetsu in his face after he'd touched a spot forbidden for all except her lover. Someone probably should have mentioned to him Hinata studied martial arts from her father. An especially deadly martial arts. Suigetsu was out cold. This was yet another wrong Shizune-sensei would have to set right. Ino and I could only sit and laugh at the events that took place no more than five minutes into the project. I wondered if this really was a well thought out assignment.

"Heh. Heh. Well that was all interesting," I jokingly said to Ino. She was laughing, a good sign she was alright.

"Ahahaha. Yes it was really funny," she responded still laughing to tears.

"Well, I suppose we should get started ourselves, huh?" I asked a bright smile on my face. "Let's hope all goes well with us hahaha. I'd seen her smile and giggle at this. Who knew I was a comedian, too?

"Right, we should definitely get started," she replied giggling a little.

"Alright then," I said. "Let's start with me I guess." I was confident that she was comfortable with me, but immediately the flush of red returned to her face.

"Uh. Right," she responded conforming to the idea anyway. It was definitely a weird assignment and I could tell Ino was a little uncomfortable doing it. I being ticklish probably didn't help either.

"Hehehehe," I laughed. "T-that tickles." It couldn't be helped with the woman feeling over some of the points of my body. I could tell she was getting flustered.

"N-Naruto, p-please don't laugh," she said looking at me rather embarrassed. "And stop squirming. You're making this harder than it has to be." To be honest, I couldn't help but realize how cute she looked at that moment. I mean, I'd always thought she looked nice, but today she was looking especially nice.

"Sorry, Ino-chan," I chuckled one last time before holding back the laughter. She continued examining the joints and features of my body. Ino's hands felt nice against me, despite me having clothes on. That combined with the fact a woman as pretty her was touching me was enough to make my wonder into forbidden territory again. As she examined, she continued to go lower and lower, almost if she were going to, well, yea. Soon, she came face to face with an erect me. An embarrassing moment for both her and I.

"Ok, I'm done," She squealed. She'd hopped immediately back to her feet, her face flushed horribly red. This time I knew what the problem was.

"S-sorry Ino-chan," I apologized. It was now my time to blush. I couldn't believe I allowed her to see that, let alone semi-confirming I was thinking about her in an inappropriate way.

"Put that away first, and then we'll continue," she said turned away almost disgusted.

"R-right," I agreed. After something like that, I was sure Ino would go back to hating me. I could only curse my hormones. After a minute or two, I was calmed down and began examining Ino's anatomy.

"Hm?" I hummed in thought. "Interesting." A lot of little things impressed me about Ino's body. It appeared she was double-jointed from the feel and flexibility of her limbs. Again the blonde was turning red again, something she'd been doing all morning, and when I asked if she was double-jointed she blushed even more profusely.

"Hey could you sit on the desk real quick Ino-chan?" I requested. "I want to examine your legs bone structure.

"Uh. S-sure," she pronounced in a nervous manner. I studied her knees and feet thoroughly. I was finding out quick that everything about Ino's body was attractive, especially the legs. Don't ask. I felt and touched her knees, moving them with the other as if I were some sort of puppet master. Her skin was so smooth and she smelt incredibly nice. It was a nice strawberry scent.

I looked up to see the woman, her eyes closed tight and a heavy shade of red overtaking her face. What was she thinking about? I suppose it got too much for her because next thing I knew, she was screaming and kicked me square in my face. Just like that I was out with no recollection of what happened afterward. Man I'm just not getting her at all that day. One thing was for sure, Shizune-sensei had her work cut out for her that day.

So that's the end of chapter 1. I hope you guys enjoyed. I really enjoyed writing this, and I would really like to continue this story, so tell me what you guys think ok.
