"What was that Forehead?"
"Sasuke's mine! So stop trying Ino-pig!"
The two girls glared at each other for the umpteenth time that half hour. Why fight over Sasuke? Naruto simply didn't understand them. Especially Sakura. She'd been on his team for four years and still cared for him. Then there was Ino, you'd think she'd be sensible enough to find another guy to like after so long. Naruto looked at the clock and inwardly cursed since there was no time to eat or time to swing. Class was about to start in two minutes and Iruka-sensei was never late coming back from lunch.
--------Flashback-Half an hour ago----------
"Leave him alone Ino-pig! Sasuke wants to sit next to me!"
"NO HE DOESN'T SAKURA!" yelled multiple girls.
"See Big Forehead? Now get this straight, he's not sitting next to you 'cause he wants to sit next to me!"
"So doesn't!"
"Does so!"
Naruto's head was ringing with the girls' angry voices and he couldn't concentrate on anything. 'Baka Sasuke, why do girls still like you so much after so many years?' He tuned out the voices, looked out the window and wondered whether or not he should go to the roof and eat, or stay outside and swing like he did as a child. Suddenly, he was trampled on by many feet.
The girls from his class (the Rookie Nine and some others were there for a special training program that was supposed to last two weeks) and from other classes clambered up and fought for Naruto's seat because as it happened, he was two seats away from Sasuke. Ino and Sakura however were right beside Sasuke and yelling and screaming at each other to move so that they could sit beside their 'Beloved' alone.
Naruto slowly crawled his way out between the girls' legs ('heh, I wonder how much ero-sennin would pay to be in this position... ow! My back! These girls are heavy!') safely and managed to stand up at the far end. Behind him stood a massive glob of female bodies shoving each other to get closer to Pretty Boy and Naruto simply sighed. He turned and headed towards the door at the back of the class.
He reached for the handle to slide the door open when suddenly Sakura and Ino perked his interest.
"Leave him alone Ino-pig! I've told you already, he's mine!"
"Oh really? And why's that huh?"
Sakura smirked and cockily said, "Because he's my one true love, not yours. He knows me better than you, he's been with me longer, and that's why I'm going to forever stay with him. I'm on his team and you're not, it was destiny."
"Right, you sound just like the old Neji with your destiny crap. Just cuz he's in your team doesn't make him your one true love."
"Oh? Well Ino, tell me, who is YOUR one true love?"
The silence in the room was amazing, everyone simply stopped moving and shouting. After a pause, Ino smirked right back at Sakura and replied, "My one true love is the first man that kisses me. Whoever that first man is, I'll devote myself entirely to him and to no one else." Slyly, Ino turned towards Sasuke and said, "Well, Sasuke, better kiss me soon!" and added a wink.
Then the room was filled with noise again with girls bickering once again. Sakura and Ino returned to yelling at each other about the same topic over and over again but funnily, as Naruto noted, Sasuke was looking at Ino with a different look for about a second before closing his eyes once again.
"For the bloody last time Piggy! He's mine!"
"What was that Forehead?"
"Sasuke's mine! So stop trying Ino-pig!"
---------End Flashback---------
Naruto sighed as he decided to take a seat near the back of the class. Next to him were Chouji and Shikamaru, each eating and sleeping respectively. He looked around and noticed the rest of the remaining male population and wondered how they could stand the constant screams around them. He looked to the clock and remembered that he had promised Iruka-sensei that he wouldn't be late for any of the classes (they were really interesting anyway, it was about new techniques and battle formations that some teams hadn't tried or thought of before) but his stomach protested. Naruto, returning to his old nature as a child, began to scheme for the next two minutes as to how to get out of class and eat his lunch.
------
"Ow!" Naruto's hands were hurting from holding two buckets of water outside the class. Two minutes ago, he focused really hard on a plan to free him from class and give into his hunger urges. It didn't do him any good.
Plan: teacher come into room, teacher get drenched in water (cold) and maybe some other liquid so that teacher a) screams, then b) runs to washroom to clean/dry off. If all happens well, me: "Naruto," will then sneak out and eat lunch on roof.
As it happened, the plan didn't work. After getting soaked with cold water, Iruka yelled at Naruto and made him go outside to stand with two water buckets. Now he was suffering the consequences... and his stomach wouldn't stop growling.
----------After 3 years-------
As a recap, Sasuke had betrayed Konohagakure (Leaf Village) by joining with Orochimaru in promise of power. He killed Orochimaru when Orochimaru tried to switch his body with Sasuke's (and was vulnerable then). Sasuke became the leader of Otogakure (Sound Village), grew in power, and eventually sent his village to attack Konohagakure. At the same time, however, Akatsuki attacked. Both sides decided on a deal, each group was to take control of only half of the village. This plan though, would not last long...
---------Brothel House---------
"But-"
"Tsunade, trust me, I'm fine, 'k?"
The busty woman sighed, looked over at the girl she considered a younger sister, and sighed once more.
"Tsunade... please, I'll be okay. Actually, I think that Sa-" the girl stuttered as she remembered how her friend looked after the 'meeting', "that Sakura could use your help and comfort now. She's alone and would probably appreciate your company. I'm doing it tonight but I'm... going to be alright. I'm just thankful that I didn't have to do it for the past two years. Now please go see Sakura? And say hi to her for me, would you?"
Tsunade sighed once more before nodding her head, hugging her little sister, kissed her on the forehead, then turned to leave the room. She turned back to look at Ino one more time then closed the door. She knew that no words could comfort Ino for what she was about to experience.
After the door closed, Ino settled herself into the bed as she waited for her first customer. She was angry, nervous, bitter, worried, and felt emotions that she never felt before all meshed into one ginormous sort of emotion.
'Filthy, that's what all men are, filthy. Bah! I've got to get my mind off this! There never was any point worrying about what was to come. I never did that as a chuunin, well, except for dangers and ways out. This one, I can't.' "DAMN IT," she cried out. 'I can't get out, if I do, Tsunade'll get in trouble and me too cuz I'm definitely gonna be caught.' "I HATE THIS!" she screamed once more, then she felt a bit better.
She turned her thoughts away and thought of the 'old' Konoha, which was only two years ago. 'Everything's... changed...'
There was Tsunade whom Ino felt terrible for. Due to her physical features, she was always called upon every night to perform her 'duties' to various men. In fact, she seemed to never get a break. From morning till night, she would have to serve the filthy ones with at most a fifteen minute break every five hours. She had come to Konoha two weeks before the attack to take the position of Godaime and was caught during the battle. She was captured when she fainted at the sight of blood coming from an illusion of her younger brother. Last night and tonight were the only two days she had a full rest because their Boss wanted to make sure that Ino would get used to the fact that this was all she'd do for the rest of her life till she died. Tsunade was there only to comfort and kind of 'prep' the youngling up.
Then there was the Rookie Nine who were split up, their teachers were missing, and everything was simply, too different. Yuuhi Kurenai, Hyuuga Hinata, and Tenten were in a brothel house not too far from Ino's, but it was difficult to send messages to and fro. She hoped that they were faring better than she and Sakura.
Sakura too was different, she no longer idolized Uchiha-ahou, for obvious reasons, but was broken inside. Especially two months ago... Ino shuddered. Those pigs had eaten away Sakura's mind and body and now, all Sakura did was cry or dream of being raped. It was usually the former since she'd rarely sleep. Ino and Sakura may have been rivals, but Ino would never have wished this upon Sakura. She sighed and kept flipping through her mind of the others.
The males in their teams and in Tenten's teams were all in various areas. She choked and teared slightly as she remembered Asuma-sensei, Kakashi-sensei, Gai-sensei, and Iruka-sensei. All four were reported missing, or in other terms, dead during the battle against Akatsuki and Otagakure. She forced the tears to stay in and swallowed her grief. It did her no good, but she thought of the four, mainly Asuma-sensei and Iruka-sensei though, almost everyday. Asuma-sensei had become the father of her team and it tore her apart to know that he was probably dead. She missed them a lot even though she didn't get to know the other two much.
Rock Lee and Hyuuga Neji, Tenten's teammates, were missing as well. She wasn't sure whether to believe they had died, rather, she was sure they were in the Rebel Group somewhere. Actually, she was hoping for this as well for the four teachers. Ino knew that she would never accept the fact if they were dead because it just seemed impossible.
Aburame Shino and Inuzuka Kiba, too, were reported missing. Ino was sure that they were a part of the Rebel Group and hoped that they were able to keep in touch with Kurenai-sensei and Hinata. They were practically siblings to each other and Ino knew that Hinata would be devestated if either of her brothers died, or even if Neji died.
Then there were her brothers, Chouji and Shikamaru, both leading Rebel Groups in unknown locations. She too was a part of it, but in her position, she couldn't do much so she was usually out of contact with them. The last message she had received was six months ago in her dinner (trapped in a measly dinner roll) telling her how both were doing but couldn't get her out anytime soon. This was in code, and Ino was thankful that they had set it up back when they were genins because another girl that passed her from behind saw the note, snatched it up, and gave it back to Ino with a puzzled and suspicious look. Ino was sure to be careful about the notes from then on.
The Uchiha... she didn't even want to think about him at all. 'Jerk.'
Then there was Uzumaki Naruto. Ino didn't really know much about him other than the fact that he used to be Konoha's #1 Loud Ninja and was the class clown (she chuckled at the memories of his pranks). He too went missing during the attack of Akatsuki and Otagakure and this caused Sakura to cry that much more when she learned of it.
'My parents...' Ino reflected sadly, 'perished in the war leaving me an orphan.'
She had cried and still did at times but she knew they were watching over her. She was sure of it. She looked at the ceiling (since there were no windows) and thought of her childhood, how she was daddy's little warrior and how mom was always worried about her since her mom never was a ninja. She had remained a house wife and a store keeper. Ino remembered fondly having come home once after school with a bandaid on her finger. Her mom freaked out saying that Iruka-sensei was an irresponsible teacher, having not prevented Ino's small cut. Ino tried calming her but it wasn't until her father came home that he calmed her mother.
She'll have to take care of herself soon enough dear. Plus, it's just a small cut.
But it was from a kunai! What if she's out in the wild and cuts herself to death?
Come on, she has more sense than that, right Ino?
Hai, 'tousan! Don't worry about me 'kaasan, I'm a strong girl now!
That's my little warrior. (smile)
Inoshi!
(giggles)
Ino smiled at the memory then tensed suddenly as she heard footsteps outside the door.

A/N: This is another, rather strange idea that popped in my head. I just hope that the formatting of the story at the beginning isn't too confusing. (sweat) ehehe
