Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Against All Odds ❯ Chapter One ( Chapter 1 )

Against All Odds
…written by Arche-chan…

 

Summary
(NaruIno) You (INO) are not supposed to be in love with your STEP-brother (NARUTO), especially if he is dating your bestfriend (SAKURA) and is oblivious of your feeling, AND you're dating the most wanted guy ever (SASUKE). Alas, Naruto's charm is irresistible.

 

Note
You may see Naruto is.. kind of different from the real Naruto. ;p, he's not a geeky guy in my story, in fact, he's kind of popular and witty.

 

Pairing
The main pairing is NaruIno, I think there are more, but.. well, all you want to know is the major pairing, right?

 

Author's Note
New style: No chapters, no date, more self-thinking, unnecessary dialogues, arguably lemon in later chapter (ARGUABLY). I almost think this story has no plot. Things could change if the responds are good, though. Story written in Ino's POV, anyway.

 

 

I fell in love with a boy.

The news doesn't shock you, does it? Of course, because failing in love with a sexy, definitely mouth-watering, cool and -more importantly- bad-boy blonde is the most normal thing any girls could do when they reach the tender age of sixteen.

Besides, aside from setting your parents' hard-earned money in front of the biggest financial vacuum ever established (I mean malls), it's better to stay at your room, fantasizing about your crush, masturbate, and poof! Everybody's happy. You'd have your dream guy naked with all the bonuses, your parents also happy because there is no wasted money. And then that guy suddenly notices you and you two somehow got married and live happily ever after, just like those fairy tales have been saying for -at least- a century ago.

Isn't it amazing how simple everything is?

Sure, if the guy you'd lusting -ahem, loving—is a total stranger. I happened to fall in love with Naruto, or in other words, my brother.

And I'm telling you… it's pretty horrifying to even think about it.

Okay, he's not exactly my brother; he's my step-brother. The fact that we're not biologically related made me exhale, you know.. since I think that's the only pro I could point out in our -unlikely- love-chemistry.

Wanna know the cons? Hold your breath, there are helluva so many of them.

First, that sexy, definitely mouth-watering, cool, bad-boy Naruto guy I've been talking is dating my first and only bestfriend. And as if it doesn't frustrate me enough, they also act like as if they are sexually deprived jailbirds by trying to grope each other every three seconds.

All. The. Time.

See why I'm considering taking pills now?

Second, that dense, pathetic package with blonde hair and perfect six-pack doesn't have any idea about me craving to.. to do things -that mostly destructive- to him, and innocently hangs around in the house (Yes!! We're living in one house!! Lovely, isn't it?) only with boxers that reveal more than half of his body.

Again: All. The. Time.

Well, sometimes his nudist-behavior does make me feel that God still loves me. You know, it's a rare chance to have a guy with that.. that runway-potential body walking here and there in your own house. But!! In most time, he and his slightly-freakish nudism belief made me absolutely positive that my life is to be shortened by five years.

I mean, just imagine!! How come you'd cope with it when you are in a danger of severe dehydration due to constant drooling? And not to mention that my heart is having tendencies to stop abruptly, and sporadically when he's in ten-meter radius of me; and when this damned heart start to beating again, its' pounding would be at least three times faster than normal heart would do.

Just… how come our relationship would work out if I die five minutes after spending time together with him?

Bleh. Now, onto the con number three…

There's this exotic, dark, brooding, mysterious, you name something cool, he has it guy that I'm dating with. So, yeah, that's right. I'm officially taken. And my STEP-brother is also officially taken. And just to make things more ironic, my boyfriend and my object of sex-fantasies aka Naruto are bestfriends, if not spiritually sibling.

-insert dramatic sigh-

Whoever says love is simple?

Anyway, probably you're wondering how the hell I could fall in love with that aforementioned guy. I still perfectly remember the date -and I'm usually horrible at remembering things… see how he affects me?- it was two months ago, twelfth June, the date when the summer-heat is in its culmination point and the sun could burn you alive if you don't apply any sun-protection.

So, my father was picking up his new wife and her son in the airport when I was arguing in the telephone with Sasuke, my boyfriend, about some petty things I can't remember when Naruto walked in to my room. Only with boxer, of course.

And.. God. I'd never imagined that my YOUNGER step-brother would look like that when he was fresh out from the bathroom, soaking wet, and had water dripping from his lips, jaw, abs, well, you got the idea.

By the way, that time I still didn't have any idea of who he was or what was he doing in my house, so I believed that I was practically gaping confusedly at him. Though that there was another possibilities that my gaping was caused by him too.

And so, our very first conversation ensued.

“Oops.” He said, wide-eyed and looked around my room confusedly. “Seems I'm in wrong room.” He added.

Actually, I wanted to say that it was perfectly okay and I wouldn't mind sharing my room with him. But it seemed like that my brain cracked and thus the only thing that came out from my mouth was just a simple “Really?”

An amused grin spread on his lips, then. “I'm sure about it. Nice to meet you, by the way.”

Then BAM! He slammed the door shut. Leaving me dumbstruck. I didn't quite sure how long I gaped to the empty space, but it seemed that I'd wasted pretty much time doing that, because when I started to talk to the phone again, I found that Sasuke had hung up. And Sasuke is a very patient person in most time.

Once I was able to control my body again, I immediately exited my room, hoping that that cutie was my new neighbor who somehow ended up struck in my house. But the only thing I could see when I opened my door was my father's overly gleeful face. And I definitely knew that whatever thing he would say when he had that look, it wouldn't be a good thing for me.

Granted, I was right.

“Ino, my baby!” Father kissed my cheek, before continued with the same quantity of gleefulness. “Have you seen your new step-brother? He's the blonde guy in your age.”

My reaction when I heard that?

Oh, shit.

 

AN
So, chapter one is over. :) What do you think about that? Good? Bad? Catastrophic? Please let me know. I haven't finished the plot for this story. So, like the usual, I'd trash this if you don't like it.
