Chapter Five: Dear Ino... Sincerely Me

 

By: Blox&Bunnox

 

 

~Iruka's Writing Class~

 

 

We're doing our stupid journals again. I can't STAND the stupid BLOND. He's obnoxiously arrogant. I swear I'll...never mind. Oh great, he's watching me right now. Every move... like he's a stalker. Wait a minute, what if he is a STALKER?! I would follow him to make to see if he is a stalker but that would make me look like a stalker. Oh god! That reminds me of THE ORDEAL. Did he taste the strawberry chap stick that Itachi gave to me? The idiot kind of tasted like... ramen. Yuck! Why the hell did I write that?! Enough about... the creepy ramen-tasting stalker. There's a blond person I'm working with...on an after school project. Last time, we didn't get anything done. We just ended up playing games and... well, that was it. Then Itachi had to interrupt. Stupid Itachi!

 

--MM--

 

Sasuke keeps looking at me! It does seem like he isn't interested in girls... OH NO! MY POOR UNTOUCHED BODY! I don't think I even want to know if he's...homo. I mean we had an accident. I hope it was an accident. By the way, his lips were so soft. I think he uses chap stick, what a wuss. Strawberry if I wasn't mistaken. Gross. WHAT AM I WRITING ABOUT?! Crap! My poor virgin mind and LIPS! Uhhhh, not that I haven't kissed anyone before... okay okay, I didn't. But THAT does not COUNT. Anyways, there's this certain dark haired person I've been working with. It's been LOADS of FUN. This person is really pretty. Even Kiba is after this person!

 

--MM--

 

 

I just made it onto the squad! And so did... Sakura. I think she's on her period 'cause lately, she's just a little crazy and when I say crazy...I MEAN CRAZIER THAN USUAL! She thinks I'm after that one guy. People call him creepy... but hot. Personally, I think he's nothing but a jerk. A hot jerk. But that's not the point. She's my best friend but...sometimes she's gets a bit on the too crazy side. I mean really! She doesn't have to bite my head off just for looking at that one hot jerk. Okay okay okay. I had enough of writing about her. As I mentioned before, I MADE IT ONTO THE SQUAD! I am SO excited. Our first practice is next week. I wonder if that one jerk will be watching...yeah...ANYWAYS, I just remembered. That last session or should I put...”session”. It was very interesting. I think.

 

--MM--

 

I just saw the most beautiful looking person on Earth. Or I think I did. The way he... eats. His gorgeous hands and rounded cheeks! I say I am in Heaven. Or Heaven on Earth. I don't care if people know I'm... homo. I'm in love. And I fell in love with cooking... which is both our passions. I MUST CONFESS! Or I shall drive myself to the brink of madness. Yes, that is it. I will confess my love to him. And we'll grow to love each other, cook within each other's kitchen's...and finally be HAPPY. Matters on hand though! I must watch out for my dear cousin for she will fall victim to the nastiness of men. Other men, not I. It is my destiny. But soon me and my love's fate will entwine. I don't care if people know about my orientation...wait, maybe I do. I don't know...ANYWAYS! Who cares.

 

--MM--

 

Iruka felt remorse for the students in his writing class. If he could help at all, it would be three chosen students. Not the fourth, for her life was pretty much going the way it should. Iruka had a feeling he had to talk with the crazy ramen blond and the creepy emo jerk.

 

--MM--

 

~After school, Iruka's class~

 

 

'What the hell am I doing here? What does Iruka want with me... and dobe. I have a bad feeling this isn't going to go so well. Soft... lips...ramen...breath...AAAAUUUUGGGGGHHH!' Sasuke thought with disgust. He let out a shudder and avoided Naruto's intense glare.

'Teme...yuck. Gross. Sick. STRAWBERRIES?! WHY STRAWBERRIES?! I should ask him later. Man, I'm hungry. I better get myself some ramen later... no, after this stupid little meeting. What is it about anyways?' Naruto continued to glare at the dark haired Uchiha.

 

No more than a minute later, Iruka and Kakashi walked into the classroom. They were both looking at the boys. Kakashi, with interest somewhat written into his face. And Iruka, with a bit of a worried look. They sat in the opposite chairs in front of both freshmen.

 

“Do you know.... why you're here? Why both of you are here? Do you want to know?” Kakashi slyly implied with secrecy behind his mask, a wink in his eye told the boys something. Iruka had to nudge Kakashi at that.

 

“Naruto... and Sasuke... I was a bit concerned about you both... and I wanted to talk with you both here with me and Kakashi, since we're your teachers and all. Is there anything you would like to say?... At all?” Iruka said with little confidence, seeing he wasn't the type to have this kind of talk.

The two were getting more confused, “Is this about me putting glue in Sasuke's drink?” Naruto wondered.

“What the hell!? That's why it tasted funny...” Sasuke cursed at the blond.

“Oh heaven's no, it's about something well.... more important. So is there anything else you want to... talk about.” Iruka said starting to form sweat. The two just gave him a weird look.

 

He then shoved Kakashi towards them. “What this loser is trying to say is that we want you two to come out and say it. That you're both gay. Got that? Okay, I'm not saying anymore until Iruka here says a lot more.” He sat back down ungratefully and snorted.

 

Sasuke was in total shock, his jaw dropped and would not stop staring at Kakashi. Naruto's left eye began to twitch and he seemed more than uncomfortable. Nothing but silence in the room of four. Until the blond and brunette started sputtering indistinct words. “We're not... I... what are you... what is this...WHAT?!” Naruto nearly shouted.

 

Sasuke suddenly calmed himself after that little outburst from the noodle loving idiot, “What he is trying to say is what makes you think we're.... gay?!”

 

“YEAH! I mean I know Sasuke-Teme can be a little girly... actually HE might be gay but I AM NOT!” said a frustrated Naruto.

 

Iruka pulled out the journal's, “Here's a quote from Sasuke's Journal, “There's a blond person I'm working with...on an after school project. Last time, we didn't get anything done. We just ended up playing games and... well, that was it. Then Itachi had to interrupt” and also there's The idiot kind of tasted like... ramen.” Care to explain that.

 

Naruto gave a strange look and Sasuke looked like he was going to throw up

 

Iruka continued, “There's also Naruto's Journal... “. By the way, his lips were so soft. I think he uses chap stick, what a wuss. Strawberry if I wasn't mistaken.” and “Anyways, there's this certain dark haired person I've been working with. It's been LOADS of FUN. This person is really pretty.”

 

“This is a mistake.” Sasuke blurted out annoyed.

“Love is not a mistake Sasuke.” Kakashi said adding his two cent's.

“Whoa whoa wait. The teme is right. I was talking about Hinata!” Naruto yelled.

“You kissed Hinata?” Iruka said interested.

“Well no that was Sasuke but... IT WAS AN ACCIDENT. Well actually maybe he did it on purpose did it on accident.”

“WHAT?! DOBE YOU were the one who did it on purpose I DID IT ON ACCIDENT. PERV.”

“WHAT? WHY YOU.”

“Okay we get it the kiss was an accident...” Kakashi said hitting them both on the head. “But are you two sure you're not gay? Just trying to make it clear. By the way Sasuke... who's that blond you're writing about anyway?”

“Um...er...it's...” Sasuke flushed red, obviously trying not to say it. “It's... who'rewetalkingabout?” Avoiding Kakashi's intimidating stare, his eyes wandered to the floor.

“JUST HURRY UP AND SAY IT WILL YA?! I don't have anymore time for this crap. I'M HUNGRY!” Naruto started tapping his foot.

“FINE! IT'S INO! OKAY DOBE!? YA HAPPY NOW!?!?!” With that final outburst, Sasuke took his bag and stomped out the door, making sure to slam the door extra hard...unfortunately... it didn't go out as planned since it was automatically shutting itself slowly. Even more embarrassed, he took off at the speed of light... or something to that extent.

 

Naruto contained himself at that little scene, laughing here and there. “Uhhhh, Iruka-sensei? Can I get some ramen now? I'm starving!” Iruka sighed and nodded in defeat. So much for helping these delusional delinquents.

 

“That went pretty well Mister Help All the Idiots in the World.” Kakashi snorted. “So anyways, you want to go get some ramen at that one shop?”

“Nah, why don't we stay here for awhile, I got strawberries and whipcream. We can make a shortcake.”

“Ssuurreeeee. Yeah...right.”

~Itachi's Car~

 

Itachi hit something along the way home, driving Sasuke. Maybe it was an old lady or something along those lines. 'Well, I hope they don't give me a ticket. Oh well, she was going to die sooner or later. I think I'll dump this car in case of evidence then get a Ferrari. Plus, I always wanted a new car. OH YEAH... I'm driving still. Oops, there goes a deer.' Sasuke sighed as another poor helpless animal got hit. Yep, he was used to this crazy driving. He started to think of Ino and the time of playing those video games. He let out a long sigh.

 

“So my little brother, it sounds like you're in love or infected Would you like some advice from the looooooovvvve machine?” Itachi started, imphasizing on love. Sasuke's eye twitched slightly.

“Yer. And why do I need advice from you? I don't think you're equipped to handle machines. Especially love machines. Oh great, now I get what you mean. Wait, never mind that. Anyways, what kind of advice?” Sasuke gagged at the thought of the scandalous things his brother was doing lately.

“Well, that depends on what kind of advice you need. Guy or girl?” Itachi was trying to hide a smirk.

“I'm a guy, what do you think?”

“...”

“...”

“Uhhh, guy or girl? That's what I just asked you.”

“GIRL YOU IDIOT!”

“Okay okay. For a few seconds, I thought it was going to be a guy. 'Cause I remember seeing you and that blond dude FRENCHING in the cafeteria.”

“WE WERE NOT FRENCHING! AND I THOUGHT YOU WERE BLIND!”

“Technically, legally blind, but that didn't stop me from seeing that sweet lookin' action.”

 

Sasuke looked at his brother strangely for a second. “Well, there's this GIRL. And she's in quite a few of my classes.”

“Okay, girl... got it.” A little snicker.

“Shut up. Anyways, we're kind of working on something together in class.”

“Oh, THAT blond chick. Not guy...chick.” Itachi said, making sure his brother understood.

“Yes, that girl.”

“What about that girl?”

“Do the math? Figure it out? Isn't this obvious to you...”

“I know one thing for sure, you do like her... don't ya?”

“Yes...I do.”

“Aaahhhh, to be as young as you and in love... or is it?”

“What the heck do you mean, Itachi?”

“You sure it isn't lust? Are you completely sure you like...love her? Something of that sort?”

“Itachi, don't be an idiot. Of course it isn't lust...and it isn't completely love either. I like her... a lot but not that much.” Sasuke hesitantly said, pondering at his brother's words previous to his statement.

 

Itachi cleared his throat and swerved as he nearly missed an elderly couple. He looked in the mirror to see Sasuke's eyes clouded in thought. His eyes went back to the road. Itachi cleared his throat again.

“Well lil' bro, I can give you the advice you need to woo her if you want. Or what kind of advice do you really need?”

“Well... I have to find out if she likes me too... wouldn't you start out with that first? Before you go any further I mean...” Sasuke's cheeks went light pink. His embarrassment starting to show itself.

“Ahhhh, yeah...I guess you could start out like that. Or you can...come onto her instead. Flirt a little here, make it cheesy there. Give her flowers....more like roses. There's a lot you can do. Just don't get to home runs yet.” Itachi said, intently jumping the gun like that.

“WHAT?! No! No way! There will be no HOME RUNS. I'm not like you Itachi. “

“What? No home runs at all? You're no fun. Poor Ino, never to be deflowered by my little brother.”

“...Screw you, Itachi. I don't think those things will happen anytime soon.”

“Okay... well bro, are you sure she's... a virgin? Are YOU?”

“ITACHI!... I'm through with this conversation. I don't want your advice anymore.”

“Aaawwww, is that a no?”

“IT'S A YES!”

Sudden burst of laughter from Itachi. “I guess I expected this. It's time for us to have a nice little talk about the birds and the bees...oh yeah and sex.”

“Do you have to be so open about this? Sick pervert.” That last little comment wasn't for his brother's ears.

“Proves I'm more experienced at this than you. Let's continue this at home, shall we?”

 

Conversation ended there with both Uchiha's being silent. The rest of the drive consisted of swerving and plenty of sighs.

 

--MM--

 

In the warm and comfortable home of the sand siblings, there was a closet. Not any normal closet...it was Gaara's closet. It had his own little personal skeletons in it that barely anyone knew. It's on this particular day, he decided to visit his little skeletons and confide in them.

 

'No one, absolutely no one knows of you my little precious things. Yes, you tasty morsels of delight. And you, my furry little friends. My adorable furry little friends. If anyone were to find this out, I'm ruined for sure. Not even Kankuro knows this. Or even Temari... my stupid sister... popular preps... heh. It's time to feed you my little darlings. Yesss....yessssss....EAT! EAT!!!!' Gaara's thoughts were unlike any other's. They will never be...because of the insomnia.

 

“Here you go, Alvin. Time to eat up. SIMON! Share your food with Theodore!” Gaara said stuffing Cocopuffs into the stuffed chipmunks...who oddly resembled Alvin and the Chipmunks with their personalized clothing that Gaara made himself. Gaara ate some himself while his wild eyes continually stared at the shrine. A shrine of chipmunks and Cocopuffs. His passion and life. He collected them ever since he killed a chipmunk at the age of 5. Poor poor little guy. Poor little Gaara... didn't know what was coming.

 

There was a sudden knock on his closet door. Wide eyed with fear, he called out, “WHAT?! What do you want?!”

“Whoa there, it's me.” Kankuro rolled his eyes.

“Get lost or I'll kill you.”

“Sheesh. It's time for dinner.”

“I don't need dinner, I have my cocopuffs...cocopuffs...”

“...Okay...see ya.”

Kankuro walked away, shaking his head. 'I swear he's demented. What's with cocopuffs?...What's in that closet anyway? Heh, it's probably more cocopuffs. Yuck.' He thought, rolling his eyes once more.

 

Gaara looked back to his shrine and sighed. It was time to put it away for they'll all wonder what he does in there. He pushed back the shrine into the wall, which he obviously built himself, he closed the secret door and hid the latch. Moving his clothes in an unconspicuous way, he gave the final arrangement and went out. Gaara closed the door and turned around, surprised by Temari's little quiet entrance.

 

--MM--

 

 

Sasuke decided to write a letter, which occurred after the disturbing conversation with his older brother. He will never look at bees and birds at the same way again, not in this lifetime.

 

Dear Ino,

 

I just wanted to say...I wanted to...why don't we...

 

He scratched that out and pulled out a different sheet of paper. He tried to begin a different way.

 

Dear Ino,

 

Hey baby, how about we go shake some tail feathers at some club this Friday.

 

Sasuke burned the piece of paper after that. Maybe Itachi's little discussion was wearing off on him and influencing him with his sick little... words.

Dear Ino,

 

I just wanted to say “Hey” and “Thanks” for the great time at my house. I was wondering if you wanted to hang out again sometime. I mean, hang out here at my house again. Play a few video games and watch some movies. And do what you want to do, there's a lot of stuff down in the den where my brother and I play. I meant to say, hang out... not play. Yeah... I don't usually do this.

 

But I think there's something special about you. The way your eyes sparkle is magnificent. I love the way your fair skin glistens in the bright sky. And to see that look of passion in the moonlight. The smell of your hair is intoxicating, like the flowers at your shop. How soft your lips look, if I could have a taste.

 

Sincerely, Me.... I mean Sasuke. Sasuke Uchiha

 

 

 

“You know bro, that letter is so cheesy.” Itachi was right over Sasuke's shoulder. “In a way, I think it's cute.” Undoubtedly, Sasuke's eye was twitching.

“You...were...READING....IT?!” The last two, he practically yelled. “GET OUT! GET OUT OF MY ROOM NOW! DON'T YOU DARE TELL ANYONE OF THIS!” He was infuriated at his brother. The letter was meant to be for his eyes and the eyes of Ino's... but that wasn't going to happen.

 

'Sheesh, talk about overreacting to that. Oh well, it's his letter. That's how he wants it. I still think it's cheesy. Cheesy but cute. Adorable to be in love at that age. Though I'm worried he's going to get his heart broken. HAHAHA. He'll learn...he'll learn.' With that, Itachi bounded to the den to play some Online Xbox games with his...”friends”.

 

--MM--

 

~Next Day, At The Asylum....School~

 

 

Sasuke arrived early to school to put the letter into Ino's locker. He looked around to make sure no one was around and he slipped the letter into her locker...or was it her locker? Only one person was around to witness it. Sasuke slipped away to the library to read a book and wait for her reply.

 

Naruto had see the Uchiha come into school early. 'Teme isn't usually here this early. What the heck could he possibly want? I'll follow him with my skills and try not to let him catch me. It's as if he doesn't want anyone to see what he's about to do. Wait a minute, what is he doing?'

 

Naruto looked onward with interest. His eyes widen as he saw the dark haired boy pull out a letter from his messenger back. The envelope's color was light blue. Like someone's eyes...Ino's. It seemed he attempted to put the letter into her locker but he dropped into the wrong one. 'Oh my gosh...he just dropped it into my locker! IS HE REALLY GAY?! I HAVE TO SEE THIS!' Naruto was about to stride to his locker until his foot banged against another student's. 'Shit!'

 

Sasuke heard the sound and immediately shuffled to the library, looking back constantly until he collided with an opening door. He scrambled off the floor, despite the hammering headache from the collision. He ran to the library door on the second floor.

 

Naruto watched Sasuke's embarrassment and chuckled. He nearly ran to his locker to see what the letter was about and who's it was. He twirled the combination and had it open in less than a minute. The light blue envelope fell out of the locker and drifted lightly to the floor, the name face down. A trembling hand picked it up cautiously and turned the letter over. Naruto sighed in relief as he saw Ino's name scrawled in neat letters.

 

'Okay... maybe he isn't gay... but has a certain homo-ness about him. What's with the neat handwriting? What a jerk. I wouldn't be surprised to see pink fluffy underwear in his own home. Wait! Why am I thinking of that?!'

 

Naruto snickered a little. He was about to rip open the letter until he heard a bright cheery voice right behind him.

 

“Hello Naruto! You better move your fat ass before I make you. Sound nice? NOW SCRAM!” Ino gave a friendly smile to the frightened ramen scarfing idiot.

 

Naruto nearly jumped out of his skin and let the letter drop to the floor, floating like a feather again, this time he had company behind him. Ino noticed the light blue envelope and was eye-ing it while it gently drifted down to the linoleum floor. Her eyes flicked back to Naruto instantly and stared.

 

“What have you got here? A love letter? I don't think someone like you would even get one, Naruto. Who's it from? C'mon! I'm your friend. You can share it with me and no one else will know.” Ino tried to smile as friendly as she could. Batting her eyes a few times and continuing her intimidating stare. She looked at the letter and picked up something. She noticed it had her name on it.

 

“Ewwwwwwww! Naruto! Did you write me a love letter?! You are seriously sick! GIVE IT TO ME! NOW!”

“NO! It wasn't me! It was the Sasuke fiend that did it! He's a sick pervert!”

“Give. Me. THAT! Who knows what kind of stuff is written in there! IT'S PROBABLY A THREAT! Possibly a BOMB!” Her breathing shallowed to huffing.

“IF IT'S A STINKIN' BOMB! A MAN SHOULD HANDLE IT!”

“I DON'T SEE A MAN IN FRONT OF ME. I SEE AN OBNOXIOUS IDIOTIC BOY!” Her left eye twitching like mad.

A nearby door opened violently and the teacher stomped out to the hallway. “WHAT IS ALL THIS COMOTION ABOUT! YOU LITTLE BRATS BETTER SHUT THE HECK UP BEFORE I MAKE YOU!!! EITHER SHUT UP OR IT'S TRIPLE TIME DETENTION!!!!!!! OR I'LL FEED YOU TO THE SNAKES!!!!!” Anko's breathing was harsh and eyes narrowed at both blond students. Smoothing back her wild hair, she made the “I'm watching you” sign with her fingers and huffed angrily. Snake Lady mumbled incoherently, supposedly about stupid kids and not getting paid enough for doing favors.

 

While Naruto was distracted, Ino snatched the letter away and made a run for it. She went up the stairs leading to the second floor, looking behind in case the dummy was following...or stalking. She made a left turn into the library. Ino halted to a sudden stop behind a bookshelf. There, a few tables away, was Sasuke. He appeared to be reading a book and didn't notice the entrance she made. She sighed in relief and carefully went deeper into more bookshelves and seated herself down. Ino tore the envelope open and took out the letter.

 

There was the letter Sasuke wrote to her, in his own neat handwriting. The blond cheerleader read every read word, her eyes widening in total shock. She re-read the letter over and over again. The words didn't register within her mind yet. Ino took notice of how he praised her eyes and the smell of her hair. When the words finally registered within her mind, the asylum's bell rang... er.. school bell rang. Her heart was racing and her thoughts dazed with Sasuke. Ino waited until the Uchiha left the library first and she followed, happy the first class of the day had him in it.

 

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
