Confessions
SakuXIno
"Please come again sir" everyone's favorite pink haired ninja spoke as her last customer left the tea house. It was breezy Saturday and as usual it was one of the busiest work days for Sakura. She placed the empty glasses on a tray and picked up her tip from her table. "Man another five bucks, that's sucks" said Sakura as place the minute tip into her left pocket. She walked into the back of the tea house and as usual, Naruto's lazy ass would keep her there all night again. He would always just sit there practicing his hand signs as the dishes just stacked up.
"Naruto why can't you be done with your dishes when we close" said Sakura as she slammed the tray into a sink filled with dirty dishes.
"Because were always so busy" exclaimed Naruto.
"Well maybe if stop making hand signs and do your fucking job, then you wouldn't be here so god damn late" said Sakura.
"I'm sorry Sakura" said Naruto rubbing his head.
"Stop apologizing and hurry the fuck up" said Sakura as she exited the back room.
"Man she is always jumping on my case" said Naruto as he began the never-ending task of washing the dishes.
She walked back to the front to count the money in the register. As she was about to finish counting the currency, her manager Iruka walked past her inspecting the tea house.
"Fine job as always Sakura" Iruka complemented.
"Thanks Iruka-sensei" Sakura answered.
"And I assume that Naruto is finished his job as well" Iruka asked.
"Ha, as if, he hasn't even begun to wash dishes" Sakura answered.
"Ha, somehow that doesn't astonish me" Iruka chuckled.
"It shouldn't" said Sakura closing the register
"Well when your done you can leave" Iruka said.
"Okay" said Sakura as she grabbed her purse and clocked out.
As Sakura stepped outside, a cold gust of wind blew over her body causing her skin to shiver uncontrollably. "Damn it's chilly tonight" she thought as she quickly wrapped her body in her fluffy pink jacket the she brought from Aeropostale. She walked down the usual dirt trail that led directly to her house. Sakura quickened her pace as the stiff night air seem to become colder and colder with each passing moment. She began to smile as she could see the park, letting her know that she was almost there. While walking through the park, Sakura noticed a grayish figure sitting on a bench in the corner of her eye. As she stopped to see what the figure was, she saw that head of familiar long blond hair.
"I..Ino" Sakura called out.
The figure turned toward her. Sakura released a small sigh of relief.
"Oh, hey Sakura" Ino said with a chuckle.
Sakura starred into Ino's eyes and could tell that she had been crying.
"What are you doing out here, its freezing" said Sakura.
"Oh nothing, just getting some air" Ino lied.
"Ino don't lie to me" Sakura said placing her jacket over Ino's shoulders.
"It's just that my mom and dad have been arguing" said Ino as she began to cry again.
"It's okay" said Sakura.
"But tonight my mom went out again and my dad had come back drunk as usual. He had trouble walking and I helped him on the sofa. I went to go back to my room but he called me over to him. He asked me to sit next to him. I did so he wouldn't get angry. He then began to touch me in private places saying how much he loved me. He began to kiss me and rub my breast. I slapped his hands down and refused to let him have his way with me, but he got and angry and began to punch me. The only way I could protect myself was to turn my back and let him punch me there. He then tossed me out of the house and shut the door in my face" said Ino with tears rapidly falling down her face.
"It's okay" said Sakura as she held Ino.
"It hurts" said Ino still sobbing.
"Shhh, you can come stay with me" said Sakura.
"You sure" said Ino.
"Sure" said Sakura.
Sakura grabbed Ino's hand and led her through the park. Shortly after the two arrived at Sakura's lovely home. Sakura led Ino into her warm house. She slid the jacket off of Ino's shoulders and tossed it aside.
"Well what do you think" asked Sakura.
"About what" answered Ino.
"My home of course" said Sakura.
"It's not a cluttered as it would probably be" said Ino slightly smirking.
"Ha so you got jokes I see" said Sakura.
"No I didn't mean it like that" said Ino.
"Just playing" chuckled Sakura.
"Okay" laughed Ino.
"What do you say to a hot bath" asked Sakura.
"That sounds good" Ino responded
"Okay" said Sakura as she grabbed Ino's hand.
Sakura dragged Ino upstairs to the bathroom and ran some hot water. As Ino began to undress herself, she saw that Sakura had already gotten naked.
"Wait!, what are you doing" asked Ino.
"Well you didn't think that you were the only one that needed a relaxing bath" said Sakura.
"No, but I didn't think that we would get in at the same time" said Ino.
"Well get use to it" said Sakura as she stepped into the hot tub.
Ino decided not to fuss with Sakura and continued to remove the last articles of her clothing. Ino then joined Sakura in the relaxing bath.
"Turn around" said Sakura.
Ino said nothing as she turned around. Sakura felt her heart begin to submerge as she looked at the bruises that had destroyed Ino's beautiful auburn skin. She light passed her hand over Ino's back making sure not to hurt her. Ino began to tense up as the dense silence made her unconformable.
"Don't be so tense" said Sakura.
"Okay" said Ino trying to relax her body.
Sakura formed the hand signs necessary to begin the healing process. Ino A few moments later Sakura was the healing process and tried to spark a conversation but to no avail. Ino just sat there looking at the steam from the water rise into the air. Sakura could feel the emotional cold that had surrounded Ino's body. She could have cried, but decided not to as she thought that it would only worsen the problem. She just simple wrapped her arms around her best friend, giving her as much love as possible.
"Ino you don't have to feel sorry, I still care about you" said Sakura easing Ino's back onto her chest.
"Thank you" said Ino as she lay on Sakura's chest.
"So, how about we wash up before we get all pruney" said Sakura.
"That sounds good" said Ino.
The two girls washed up, occasionally washing each other. They soon got out of the bath and walked to Sakura's room. Sakura searched around to find Ino some pajamas.
"Look, I still have the clothes you had here from the last time you came over" said Sakura.
"Oh, I had forgotten about them" sadi Ino.
"Yea, you were so drunk that night" said Sakura.
"And you kept them all this time" said Ino.
"Well, I wasn't going to throw them away" said Sakura handing Ino her clothes.
"Thank you" said Ino putting on her clothes.
"No prob" Sakura responded.
"Well I guess I'll sleep on the couch" said Ino searching for and extra blanket and pillow.
"Sofa, no friend of mine will sleep on that lumpy thing, your sleeping with me" said Sakura closing her bedroom door.
"No, please you've shown me more than enough over your undying hospitality" said Ino.
"I would take no for an answer" said Sakura pulling the covers back.
"Okay" said Ino getting in the bed with Sakura.
"Don't worry, I don't sleep badly" said Sakura as she clapped off the lights.
Ino didn't say another word as she curled into a ball and rested her head on the pillow. Sakura threw her arm over Ino and pulled her body closer to hers.
"What are you doing" asked Ino.
"Oh, nothing, your body just felt cold under the sheets" said Sakura as she cuddled her body with Ino's.
"I alright" said Ino.
Sakura didn't answer as she was fast asleep. In truth Ino enjoyed the feeling of Sakura's warm slim body cuddled up with hers. It was the first time she ever felt loved. Before falling asleep herself, Ino snuck a kiss on Sakura's moist succulent lips, unaware that Sakura was still fully awake. Sakura made sure to be quiet as she licked her lips, savoring the taste of Ino's lips before truely asleep.
