Want
By the Demented Lobster.
I got bored.
It was Christmas.
I felt the need to write something.
So I wrote this last-minute…
The only editing I've done for this is spell-check and a brief read-over.
And I was sleep-deprived.
Thus, it is a piece of crap.
Anyway, Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to you all!

Sai POV
"Sai-kun!" Ino shouted into my ear. My ears hurt from her shouting into them.
She was sitting right next to me, for god's sake!
"What is it, Ino?" I asked the blonde. She hugged on to my arm tighter, nearly piercing through my grey shirt. My arm hurt like hell, but it was nothing compared to the fact that my ear was bleeding…
"I've decided to ask you something…" she said, loosening her grip on my arm.
This caught my attention, even though my ears were still making me faint from blood loss.
"What is it, Ino-chan?" I said, turning to face towards her.
Her face went tomato red, as she said,
"Sai-kun… What is it that you want for Christmas? Christmas is in a few days, anyway… So I can get you something last-minute…"
That caught me.
What did I want for Christmas?
I don't want anything…
Mostly because it is something I need, not something I want…
"Ino, there is not something I want…" I said, getting closer to her, "It is something I need, and I need it right now."
Her face flushed tomato red.
"Wh-what is it that y-you want, S-Sai?" she stuttered. At this very moment, she sounded like Hinata.
Why was she so embarrassed about what I wanted?
Was I implying something I didn't know about?
"What do you think it is that I want, Ino?" I asked skeptically.
"I-is it me, that you want? Sai-kun?" she asked, her face heating up even more.
What?
Me? Want Ino?
Why would I want her, of all people?
"What? No… It's not you I want… Why would I want you?" I blurted out. She looked down to the snowy ground, saddened and slightly disappointed.
"Nevermind… You'll know about it later… When you fall… In love…" she said, looking away. For a few minutes, there was an awkward silence as I stared into space, pondering about this 'Love' and as Ino calmed down.
"What is it that you want, Sai?" Ino said, still not looking at me.
"Ino-chan… I told you, it is not what I want, so much, but it is what I need." I said, looking at her, while she just sat there looking around, taking in the park scenery.
"Sai…" Ino said, turning to face me again, "What is the thing that you need so much?"
"Ino, what I need is something very important, but is not thought about frequently." I said, Ino nodding, waiting for an answer.
"What I want is answers." I said, still looking at her. She looked slightly dumb-founded…
"Answers? Answers to what?"
"Questions."
"What questions? Which ones?"
"Questions... Certain questions... What is the true meaning of Christmas? Why are we all here? Why does everyone wear demented jumpers on Christmas Eve and drink eggnog? What is the true meaning of life?"
Ino looked dumbfounded as I stared into space again. She couldn't seem to register what it was I just said.
Then she gave up on trying to get what I just told her into her peanut-sized brain, and said,
"So how 'bout a bike?"
~*~
Blehhs.
I don't think Ino's THAT dumb...
But this is how everyone interprets her, so…
Review.
Or I get my weirdo friends to come and poke your eyes out with a spork :]
A really, really sharp spork.
And flames will be used to burn the sporks,
And flamers will have their eyes poked out with flaming sporks! :D
Alright, sleep deprivation does this to me...
So...
Just review.
