11 Chapter 11

The next day Naruto was in the library at school with Ino copying pages out of several books for him to read at home to catch up with the rest of the class.

"Thanks Ino, this really helps me out more than you know!"

Ino looked at the ground and blushed. "T-This is nothing!"

She walked with Naruto down the hall and back to their class when she turned around to face him. "N-Naruto?"

Naruto tilted his head to the side. "Yeah? What is it Ino?"

She seemed to hesitate for a second before she yelled out her question. "W-Who was that girl you were with yesterday!"

Naruto blinked a few times, and then looked down at the ground. "Ah… That was my little twin sister, but her body is a little weak. Too weak for school right now at least."

She smiled and walked forward a little. "I see. Good!"

Naruto arched an eyebrow. "Huh?"

Ino looked down in embarrassment. "I-I mean that's not good at all! I'll be praying that she gets better soon."

Naruto smiled at her. "Thanks Ino, that really means a lot to me."

Ino's entire face turned red and her eyes widened. "N-No problem!"

She ran down the hall leaving behind a confused Naruto and keeping her head low in embarrassment as she mentally berated herself. 'What the hell was that!? I just can't seem to get enough of him!'

As she turned the corner she knocked into another body, and they both fell down in opposite directions.

Ino rubbed her back. "Owww… Oh no!" She got up and ran over to the other girl she ran into. "Sakura-chan, I'm so sorry! Are you ok!?"

Sakura rubbed her head. "Yeah, I'm fine Ino. It was an accident; I wasn't looking where I was going."

At this point Naruto rounded the corner. "Oi! Are you guys ok!?"

He paused when he looked between Sakura and Ino while Sakura stared back at him. After a few seconds she looked down with a frown on her face.

"Ah! So, Ino here was showing you around!" She leaned over to Ino. "I actually live next door to him; I'm kinda like a big sister he's stuck with."

Naruto looked down at the floor as he knitted his brow.

"And despite his looks, he zones out a lot, so teach him well Ino!"

Ino nodded and bowed to Sakura. "I see, thank you Sakura!"

Sakura ran off down the hall while Naruto had a hurt look on his face.
