(A/N Okay this is my very first Naruto fanfiction. This is going to center around Sakura and Ino after the timeskip. I was actually in the process of writing the next chapter of my W.I.T.C.H fanfiction, but this idea wouldn't leave me alone. You know how that is it's like a bad pop song that never goes away. I'm not quite sure if this story will end with Sakura and Ino having a close friendship or something more. The reason for that is I've never written a gay fanfiction before so if it does end up like that it will be my first. Though I have no problems with it even though I'm not that kind of girl. I just don't want to fuck it up. I got this idea after watching some AMV's (Animated Music Video for those of you who don't know) on YouTube with Ino and Sakura using the songs from the musical Wicked. After listening to the lyrics and reading the background of the play (Sadly I haven't seen the play yet) it made me realize how simliar it is to Ino and Sakura (Of course not word for word. Duh!). I will cast them in the play, but since I haven't watched the play I'm justing putting the song lyrics in that I LIKE and RELATES to the characters. Besides it wouldn't be fun to just take the entire play and read it almost word for word. I know that I would find it boring so Sakura and Ino will be in the play, but they will deal with issues OUTSIDE of the play. Hope that clears things up for you nice reviewers. Speaking of which please read and review, also tell me if I should continue and give me some ideas. Yeah I know that the title stinks, but I couldn't think of anything else. I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING THE SERIES NARUTO OR THE MUSICAL WICKED STRICTLY BELONG TO THEIR CREATORS!!!)

Living With My Worst Nightmare

Chapter 1: In Serious Trouble

It was a beautiful day out today in the Hidden Village of the Leaf. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and almost everyone was in a good mood.

Almost everyone.

Haruno Sakura was one of those people in a bad mood. First she wakes up late to meet Tsunade for her morning training, once she arrived she gets the third degree from her hung over sensei, and then puts her through hell during training.

Finally after 3 hours of that suicide training Tsunade sets her free to do whatever she wanted to do. Of course that was going back home and resting. Her body was killing her plus she just wanted to sleep because she barely got any rest last night.

The cool wind picked up blowing her short pink in her face. She huffed in frustration as she quickly brushed her hair back. Looking at all the people around her laughing and joking around made her want to punch some ones face in.

'I really need to get home before I hurt someone.' Sakura thought warily to herself as she turned a corner. She was close only a couple more blocks and...

"HEY BILLBOARD BROW!" shouted a voice from behind her.

Sakura stopped in her tracks as her jade colored eyes flashed dangerously. She knew who that person was and now her anger was on slow boil. She tried taking deep calm breaths, but it wasn't working for her.

"WHAT IS YOUR PUNY BRAIN TOO SMALL TO UNDERSTAND AN INSULT!" The voice replied when Sakura didn't answer.

The pink haired Kunoichi was now seeing red as she slowly turned around to face none other than Yamanaka Ino her exbest friend and long time rival.

"What do you want Ino-pig?" Sakura asked her through gritted teeth. 'Of all the people to bump into and it had to be her. ARRGG!'

"Oh nothing just felt like insulting the trash." Ino told her as she shrugged her shoulders her long blonde hair swaying behind her head.

Yeah Sakura knew that it was a lame comeback, but right now anything could set her off. "Ino why don't you just fuck off. I'm not in the mood for your petty insults today." She shot back pointing her finger dangerously at the blonde.

She smirked slightly when she saw a flash of anger cross over Ino's face. That girl was alway's so short tempered. "Sakura you bettter watch yourself or you could end up seriously hurt." She threatened as she took one step closer to her.

All Sakura did was laugh off her comment like it was nothing. "Ohhh I'm sooo scared the little piggy is going to hurt me."

"THAT'S IT YOUR GOING DOWN!!" Ino screamed as she ran at Sakura pulling back her fist ready to punch her in the face.

Apparently Ino was too pissed off to realize or the fact that she didn't care, but they were fighting in the middle of a street. Sakura decided not to use her inhuman strengh in this fight because she didn't want to destroy anything or hurt anybody other than Ino.

With grace Sakura easily avoided Ino's punch, but before the blonde could throw another punch Sakura grabbed her arm and flipped her over her body.

Like a cat Ino landed on her feet, but had to cover her face from the punch that Sakura threw at her. She grunted from the force before trying to kick the pink haired girl in the ribs.

Once again Sakura blocked her attack and grabbed her leg ready to throw her again. What she didn't except though was Ino pulling out a kunai and slashing Sakura across her left arm. In her shock she let go of her which was a big mistake.

Ino smirked as she grabbed both of Sakura's arms and started to spin in a circe as fast as she can. She let go of Sakura and laughed when she saw her flying into a stand full of berries. The stand easily broke and now Sakura was covered in berry juice.

She turned her head when she heard laughter. Ino was on the ground laughing her ass off while pointing to Sakura. Clenching her fist the pink haired chuunin ran at Ino and kicked her really hard in the ribs. She smirked when she saw the girl fly into a stand full of deserts. Just like when she crashed into the stand and broke it Ino did the same thing, except instead of being covered in berry juice she was covered in cake.

Feeling a big weight behind her head Ino reached back and pulled her ponytail to her face. What she saw made her face start to turn red. "Sakura look what you did! You know how long it takes me to fix my hair!" She yelled as she motioned to her ponytail that was covered in chocolate and strawberry frosting.

"Maybe next time try not to piss me off so that you can save that patheic excuse you call hair." retorted Sakura pissed at how her entire body was sticky and wet.

"Your sooo going down forehead girl." threatened Ino as she looked Sakura in the eyes.

Sakura flinched a little under her stare, but then told her in a determined voice. "I am soo going to enjoy wiping the floor with your sorry ass."

Then they both ran at each other not caring about the destruction they were causing to the poor street.

--------------------------

The sound of rapid footsteps hitting the ground alerted the Hokage. She quickly stopped her drinking and pretended that she was working on her paperwork.

Just in time too because Shizune barged in looking very troubled. The woman didn't even bother to use small talk. "Hokage-sama there's a huge emergency."

Tsunade looked up from her 'work' with a curious look on her face. "What happened? Did any of the missions fail or is someone seriously injured?"

"No it's not that." Shizune told her to give her some relief from some of her worries.

"Is it Orochimaru or Akatsuki?" She asked her eyes darkening and her voice completely serious.

"No it's not that either."

Now everyone knows that Tsunade has no patience and these were one of those times that she lost it. Slamming her fist on the desk she yelled at her poor apprentice. "THEN WHAT THE HELL IS THE PROBLEM!!"

Before Shizune could tell her the problem they both heard yelling down the hall. "ASUMA-SENSEI LET GO OF ME THIS INSTANT!!" They could tell that the voice belonged to Ino because hardly anyone they knew had a voice as loud as hers besides Naruto.

The voices were coming closer. "Ino if you calm down then I could let go of you." Asuma tried to reason with his only female student.

That wasn't going to work anytime soon. "I'LL CALM DOWN ONCE I KICK THAT BILLBOARD BROWS FACE IN!!"

"Ino just shut up were already in serious trouble don't make it any worse." Shot back Sakura who sounded very tired and pissed off.

Tsunade looked at Shizune waiting for an explanation, but the other woman just shook her head. "Let them explain I have a lot of paperwork to do." With she left the room only for Sakura, Ino, Asuma, and Kakashi to come in one minute later.

The Fifth Hokage already knew that something was up. First of all both girls were all cut up and bruised plus both were covered in food. Another problem is that Ino is being held on top of Asuma's shoulder throwing a tantrum. Lastly even though Kakashi didn't have to use the same method with Sakura the Hokage could she the guilt on her young apprentice's face.

"Mind telling me what happened here?" Tsunade questioned as she motioned for the girls to sit on the chairs and for the teachers to stand behind them.

Sakura quickly took her seat and bowed her head in shame making the Hokage know that something bad did happen. Ino had to be forced in her chair with Asuma having to hold her shoulders so the girl doesn't get up and go after Sakura.

"Okay now that that's out of the way. Sakura since I saw you last mind giving me your side of the story first." demanded Tsunade as she walked over to the front of her desk and leaned on it.

-----------

After everyone told their side of the story and Tsunade saw the damage that both girls caused to that part of town did she finally give them her answer.

"WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR GUYS PROBLEM!!" screamed the Hokage. Sure she could have been a little nicer to the girls, but this rivalry with them as gone on long enough.

Both girls flinched and if it was even possible Sakura sunk futher into her seat, while Ino tried to look away from the Hokage. "I WANT AN ANSWER ON WHY YOU TWO CAN'T GET ALONG!" The room was silent as Tsunade waited for the girls to responed.

Sakura knew better than to open her mouth when her sensei was this pissed off. Last time she did she had to suffer intense training and a lecture like no other.

Ino was too scared to even open her mouth to explain herself. Never before has she ever made the Hokage this pissed off. 'Man and Sakura deals with her moods everyday. I almost feel sorry for her. Almost.'

Tsunade waited for another minute before she quickly turned around grabbed her desk and threw it out the window. Now everybody in the room were wide eyed in shock.

"Hokage-sama calm down a little before you destroy the tower with that insane strength of yours." Kakashi tried to convince the Hokage.

"Well then what do you suggest?" She challenged the silver haired jounin.

"Your right these two need to learn to get along. Both are 16 year old Chuunins and it's about time they learn to act like it." Kakashi stated in a bored tone as he read his orange colored book.

"Hey! We know how to act our age and we have been doing just that!" retorted Ino as she glared at the man.

He turned his head to look at the girl with a questioning look. "Oh really now. Starting a fight in the middle of a street where you could of really injured someone is really acting your age."

To their surprise it was Sakura that answered instead of Ino. "Look we know that what we did was stupid, but don't look down on us because of it. We have proved ourselves countless times that we're worthy to have the rank Chuunin." She declared as she looked at her old sensei.

Asuma finally decided to join in. "We know that's true, but what if your on a mission together and you start fighting? It could end in either with the end of your lives or the life of your comrade. Both of you know that's very serious."

Sakura sighed in defeat because she knew that it could happen. What if they were on a mission, but because they couldn't stop argueing it cost them the life of one of their comrades. She wouldn't know what to do if she lost Naruto or Kakashi they were all that she had left of her old team. Sasuke left years ago with Orochimaru for power.

Ino decided to stay silent because her sensei was right. She wouldn't know what to do if she lost Shikamaru, Choji, or Asuma. Over the years that she's been with Team Ten they became like her second family. They were like her older brothers and she wouldn't have had it any other way.

"So you see we're right. All this fighting is a pain in the ass and a bother." Tsunade told the girls with a satisfied smirk.

"Yeah, but we can't just stop fighting after all these years." Sakura declared as she looked at her sensei.

"I have to agree with forehead. There's too much bad blood between us." Ino said in a sad tone.

"Well you two still need to be punished so how about you two come back here tomorrow at 9 in the morning. Your sensei's and I are going to discuss your punishment later this evening." Tsunade told them.

"Sensei how do we even know that your going to be up. Also Kakashi-sensei is alway's 3 hours late." Sakura pointed out as she stood up from her chair followed by Ino.

"Oh you don't need to worry about that. I'll be up and Kakashi will be here on time." Tsunade reassured with an evil glint in her eyes. Sakura caught on quickly and tried to suppress a giggle.

"Oh and how do you suppose Kakashi is going to be on time?" asked Asuma finding it hard to believe that Kakashi is ever on time.

"Easy. I have his precious book hostage and if he doesn't show up I will burn it." The Fifth replied as she held up a very familar orange book.

Kakashi's eye went wide in shock as he checked his back pocket were he usually kept his book. He didn't find it. "I'll see you later Hokage-sama. I expect that my book not be damaged." He said as he disappeared in a puff of smoke. When it came to Icha Icha Kakashi alway's acts like it's a life or death mission.

Everyone else was laughing at the man's behavior. "You know sensei he won't rest till he gets his book back." Sakura told her. "Trust me Naruto tried it once and Kakashi kept attacking him till he gave it back. Poor Naruto was stuck in bed for a week."

"Well it'll keep me on my toes. Now all three of you leave and be sure to be on time. Asuma don't forget to meet me back here tonight and be on time." ordered Tsunade as she shooed the three out of her office.

"Sakura and Ino are going to hate me when they find out what plans I have in store for them." Tsunade muttered to herself as she brought out a bottle of sake and poured herself a drink.

Suddenly she heard some rustling in her closet, but instead of putting up her guard all she did was smile. "Kakashi if you want your book back you have to try harder than that."

She heard swearing and the sound of someone using the transportation jutsu. "It's going to be a long night." cackled Tsunade as she drank her sake completely forgetting about the mountian of paperwork that still needs to be done.

(A/N Well how was this chapter. I hope that it was good enough for you guys. Don't worry the plot will get better and since it's summer I might update really soon. Maybe in a day or two. Please leave comments.)
