well here's a new story i decided to write, since the idea just sorta popped into my head;i was gonna try to make it a one shot but i just wouldn't work out, well tell me what you think about it...ENJOY!

Ino stood behind the counter, as she waited for another customer to come, this was rather unusual since it was very close to Valentine's day the store was very packed with people of all different ages, this week was very interesting as she guessed who the flowers were for. She laughed as she remembered Kiba blushing as she brought up Hinata, and Lee having the most prideful smile on his face as he went on about Sakura grabbing the largest bouquet of red carnations he could find. Sometimes she could see Shikamara glancing at the store as he walked by, 'probably trying to find a time when im not taking care of this business'. Suddenly the door opened and Ino shot up with a cheerful smile "Welcome to the Yamanaka flower shop! how..." suddenly a tuff of blonde hair could be seen walking her way "ohh hey Naruto, looking for something for Sakura?" she sighed this was a yearly routine, and this year would probably be the same as the others.

Naruto looked her way and then shifted his gaze back at the flowers, "yeah I'm just trying to find the right thing to get her" not seeming satisfied he walked up to the counter "hey Ino can you take me out back to see some of the other flowers?" he asked thinking of some of the flowers that she could like.

Ino blinked in surprise usually everyone found what they needed inside of the store "uhh sure" she said walking towards the back of shop, he followed her and looked at all of the beautiful colors that the flowers had. He seemed to be looking for certain type. Naruto was beginning to get frustrated 'this is a flower shop for crying out loud! they should at least have this...', "Ahh hah!" he said walking over to the white flowers with a yellow center.

"You want Jonquil flowers?" she asked seeming surprised "do you even know what they mean?"

"Yeah i know" he said with his famous smirk

She gave him a skeptical look but just shrugged her shoulders "ook if you say so", she began to walk back inside and waited at the register so Naruto could pay for the flowers. She raised an eyebrow as she saw Naruto come in empty handed "where's the flowers?".

"Out in the back, i was wondering if i would be able to get them in a bouquet" he replied rubbing the back of his head.

She folded her arms "we can but you do know that it gonna cost right?" , she looked at his face to see the reaction.

"Yeah i know it's no biggie, as long as it's done soon" he said walking towards the door "see ya later Ino" he walked out leaving Ino to her own thoughts 'i don't think i'll ever understand him' she tapped her fingers, and looked at the time it was already 12 noon which meant she wouldn't have to be in this boring place soon. ' Only one more hour' she thought to herself, then she could have the rest of the day off, she began to think of what she could do for the rest of the day 'maybe i'll go ask Sakura if she wants to spar' she rolled her eyes at the thought of training, he parents never let her go by herself. How the heck was she suppose to get better if she barley had time to train. Suddenly a whole bunch of young kids came running inside of the shop.

Ino looked puzzle "umm can i help you?" she asked looking at the younger children.

The small girl turned around "we're here to look for something for our mommy can you help us?" she asked wiping her nose.

Ino smiled at the sweet kids "sure i'll help you pick out the right one" she walked over to them and pointed out what some of the flowers meant. Finally they all found something they agreed on and walked out the store. Ino looked at the time 12:31. ' only a few more minutes' looking outside, she once again saw Shikamaru walking in front of the shop. "Hey Shikamaru, how come your always staring in here and never come in" she asked with her hands on her hips.

He raised an eyebrow and took his hands out of his pockets "i don't know, just don't feel like it but i guess i should before it's to late" he walked in right past her and began to look at all of the flowers he finally stopped and looked at some of the beautiful orchrids. Ino waited behind the counter and Shikamaru appeared with the beautiful flowers.

A smirk came on her face as she was getting ready to tease him "you sure they will reach Temari on time before they begin to die?" she said chuckling, he slammed the money and ran so she wouldn't see the blush on his face. She began to laugh and he quickly left the shop.'Troublesome' he thought holding the flowers tight. Ino stopped laughing when her father walked in.

"Alright Ino, you can go now if you want i'll let you go a few minutes earlier "Inoichi said smiling.

Ino ran to her father and kissed his cheek "thank you daddy!" she yelled running out of the store, ' she must have really wanted to go' he thought as he saw how fast his daughter ran out of the store.

The blond dashed down the street as she search for Sakura 'where is she?' Ino ran to her house only to be greeted by her mom. "Hello Mrs. Haruno is Sakura around?".

The older woman just gave a small smile "no sorry dear she said that she would be out with a couple of friends at her favorite resterant this afternoon" Ino once again took off running giving a small wave.

"Thanks Mrs. Haruno!" she yelled as she continued to run, she knew what he favorite place to eat was and it wasn't that far from her house. Ino came just on time as she saw Sakura walking out, followed by Naruto, Lee, and Tenten. Ino felt a tinge of annoyance for a second ' how come i wasnt invited to go?' but she just brushed the feeling off. "Hey Sakura!" she called out causing the pink haired girl to look her way. Ino walked over to her "wanna spar for a bit?" she asked slightly out of breath, she watched as both Lee and Tenten waved and walked off. Leaving only three of them.

Sakura was about to answer when Naruto said something first "hey did ya get my order ready yet!" he exclaimed with a cheeky grin.

A vein popped out of Ino forehead "get off my back will ya! dont worry it'll be done by tomarrow" she then switched her attention back to Sakura who had a questioning look. 'Probably wondering what we're talking about, nosy as always'. "So do you wanna spare or what?" she asked slightly annoyed at the awkward silence between them.

Sakura seem to snap back to reality "yeah, yeah, i haven't kicked your butt in a while anyway, ready to lose Ino?" she asked knowing that it would upset the blond girl.

"What ever billboard brow, you're the one who's going to lose" she snorted

Sakura fumed "we'll just see about that Ino-pig!" she shouted as both of them raced off, leaving a confused Naruto all by himself 'uhh what just happened?' he shrugged his shoulders and followed them since he had nothing else to do. He was already prepared to hear yelling and screaming.

And that was the first chapter, hopefully i'll continue this story since i have a tendency to stop one story for another. Please tell me what you think about it, i actually did my research to find out what some of the flowers meen. Review please!.
