Please read and review! =D
Candy, xYama-chanx
P.S. I knoww, the whole InoSai coupling is awkward and wierd [believe me, I grimaced at those parts when I was writing], but really, this is a ShikaIno fic...I'm just using Sai to get one part of the plot over with ;D
Ino's POV:
Well, some of the most enticingly boring things that happens about EVERY summer was just the same as the last one. Konohagakure must have some kind of problem-though Tsunade-sama proves to be an excellent Hokage, I must admit...but a matter most-hm, what's the right word-precious to me has just come up, for goodness' sake.
Maybe most of you remember when Sai, the newest member of Team Seven has arrived two years ago, right? Hehehe, it is-rather the time to tell you all of the dramatic changes that happened since then.
Okay, I mean, Sai, who, at first glance, seems like the rather gayest person you'll ever see in front of your eyes (ugh, because of his so-called attire and wardrobe-I mean, his top is hip-revealing! *shudder*), he turns out to be a cool guy.
He has white skin, black coal eyes that show the faintest trace of emotion, and a 'fake' smile that rather creeps everyone out. But don't get me wrong, though he does remind us of our-stone-hearted traitor.
Uchiha Sasuke was such a bastard, betraying the pride of our village and almost killing everyone that resided here! He had such a delicate, perfect image and body frame though *giggle*. I'm over him now, believe me.
Since he has returned to Konoha, Tsunade-sama had him put on probation and tight-security, including everywhere he went and every action he performed, to be monitored really closely, for in case Sasuke has ever thought of betraying us once again, he will be tortured and sentenced to immediate death.
Anyways, I was happy for Sakura, my pink-haired best friend, for the love of her life has returned-if you could call him that, but she acts all cold around him and devastatingly serious, so it seems as if she has never held strong feelings and emotion for him at all.
But, Sasuke has finally came to realizing her feelings and end other conflicts between them, so their relationship is running strong right now, which is exquisite. It just seems all sweet to me-though not sweeter than my romance between Sai and I.
His attitude is so unique, overall. He always told me nice things and insights, such as the time when we were out for barbecue with Sakura-chan. " You have-rather lovely hair...," he said, holding my hand and kissing it. Besides that, Sakura has been bugging me constantly about his fake love talk.
She told me that Sai was just saying the opposite of everything he meant across encounters with the ladies, as she explained to me, with intense burning emerald orbs, and that he used those points from a source reference, which was 'The Book To Friends and Good Social Life'.
I never believed her though, which was rather funny, for she started punching him out of his wits, literally. I mean, how could such nice things actually protrude from lies and 'fakeness'?
Ahem. Excuse for my-long-detour there. Anyways, soon to say, me and Sai felt something for each other, though it pained me to remember the same situation, except it was Nara Shikamaru.
I...miss him now. The extreme sensations I felt when he left me was depressing, as if I would die suddenly the next day. Sakura, Naruto and the others came to comfort me, and I eventually turned to Sai for counseling, which grew to be more than I expected it to be.
It was horrible. I wouldn't eat, I refused to go out and start my usual training exercises, and I would ignore Chouji and Asuma-sensei completely, which was inexplicably heart-stabbing.
They were overly worried, but soon I got over my problem and moved on...Shikamaru-cheated-on me. Yes, he did. Everyday, when I would go catch a glimpse of him from afar with her, I'd dash away, crying and cowering at home.
The lazy bum went one night to move and visit her in Sunagakure, which was so much more than I could bear. I almost, nearly almost, cut myself, with a slick, sharp kunai, if Sakura and Asuma-sensei hadn't ran in to stop me.
My attempts at self-torture and suicide just over him was fairly stupid, I admit, so, I'll wave it off at each mention of this dreadful time.
Anyways, I did not have the faintest idea that something exciting, happy, yet enigmatic at the same time, would suddenly come to pass across this summer...
Finished! That was rather short, but it was just a sneak peek of Ino's mixed-up past and a glance of what's to come! ^O^. Please review! Think of the next chapter as like, what, presents from mee ^^V
