secret lovers Chapter 1: Our Little Secret

Ino had slowly begun losing her feelings towards Sasuke until he showed up in the village again and now that he's working in her flower shop, she can't help but fall for the mysterious Uchiha again. Sasuke unwillingly develops feelings himself for the flower. She does not remind him of revenge, of his past weaknesses, of the curse he used to bare. Ino was not like Sakura or the others, she was bright. She was the light that Sasuke needed in the darkness.

Ino smiled as Sasuke laid down. He seemed so much more submissive to her, which was a little weird. She wasn't used to this Sasuke, but she didn't worry about it too much. When he fell asleep, she kissed his forehead before walking back upstairs. She heated up some ramen, taking it to her room with her. She sighed softly, eating it slowly.

Okay, let's do it Ino thought to herself as she set the empty bowl aside. She sat, concentrating deeply. She was putting barriers around her mind. She knew her father, and she knew what he could do. She also knew what he couldn't do. She had a strong mind, much stronger than most gave her credit for. Once it as complete, she passed out on her bed, sleeping deeply. She slept all night, her fever leaving finally. She woke up feeling full of energy and much better. She practically ran down to the kitchen, grabbing bowls, spoons, cereal, and milk before taking it downstairs to Sasuke.

"Good morning!"

She said, not even sure if he was smiled lightly before he layed his head down on the pillow, he knew Ino would definitely NOT go to sleep if he didn't go to sleep first no matter how hard he would have begged her or tried to. Sasuke would lay there in his bed before he closed his eyes and falling a sleep, he couldn't think of any other good way to spend his day except by spending it with Ino. As he slept he shuffled a bit, thinking of the things that had happened today. It was weird and also strange how the days kept going by for Sasuke...He had to do something so him and Ino wouldnt have to worry about their current relationship. Although, what would he do?...

Ino hated having to be so careful while she was with Sasuke now that her parents were back. Hopefully he didn't wait until she was sleeping and try to read her memories. Mentally noting that, she decided she would have to do something about that before she went to sleep. Sasuke distracted her from her tiresome thoughts though, poking her nose, which made her laugh.

"I will sleep, there are just ... Some things i have to do first."

She said, sighing softly. Her father wouldn't go for Sasuke's mind, the village had told him it was absolutely forbidden. Her mind though, that was fair game. She was drawn out of her thoughts by Sasuke's voice.

"Y- Yeah, don't worry. I stuck it out waiting for you after you left, i can tough it out a little longer."

She said, sticking her tongue out at him only chuckled as he sat up in the bed,"I will only go to sleep if YOU go to sleep first.", he said poking her nose with his index finger."You need more rest than I do...", he said as he stared at her for quite a long time he also had to look around before leaning in and kissing her every once and a while. It was becoming irritating to have to watch out for EVERY little thing they did,"I know its hard but we just have to make it okay? Until your parents leave again or what not.", he said whispering to her so her father wouldnt hear her and he laughed a bit at that fact. It really WAS like Romeo and Juliet...More forbidden love than anything else.

Ino smiled as she watched him eat the ramen. She saw he didn't eat much, guessing he just wasn't very hungry, so she didn't say anything about it. She took a sip of tea, relaxing some as she sat there. She looked up at him again when he mentioned how she should probably be in bed, shrugging a little.

"I'm feeling a bit better now, just don't feel like laying in the bed upstairs by myself. I promise i'll sleep tonight though."

She said smiling at him softly. Truth was she was a bit upset, but she didn't let it show. Not in her eyes or her voice. She didn't want Sasuke to know she was upset, she didn't want him to worry. If he ever worried. She laughed some when he yawned, pulling him over to the bed and lightly pushing him down onto it.

"I'll go upstairs and sleep after you go to sleep."

She said with a smirk, poking his forehead playfully. hesitating, she looked around first before pulling him closer and kissing his cheek softly.

Sasuke stared at Ino for quite a while, wondering why she was out of bed as he then looked at the ramen and began to eat it slowly. He didn't eat all of it and stopped eating it only after about 3 minutes, his bowl wasn't even near empty which signified he wasn't hungry or just he didn't feel like eating but he ate some of it just to make Ino feel better because he figured he would never hear the end of it if he didn't eat anything. He then went back and stared at Ino,"Shouldn't you be in the bed? You need your rest.", he said staring at her but he didn't want to talk to loud lest her father hear Sasuke.

Sasuke folded his arms as he sat in a chair as well sighing once more,"You really do need your rest though...Staying up like this wont help.", he said before yawning into his hand. He was beginning to get a bit sleepy.

Ino lay in her bed, wondering what was happening downstairs. She wished she had been able to stay down there with Sasuke ... Sighing softly, she decided to try and take a shower. Getting up slowly, she walked over to her bathroom. Taking a deep breath she undressed and turned the water on. She wanted to take a cold shower, but knew a hot one would be better for her to held break her fever. Turning the hot water up all the way, she stepped in and just let the water run over her. She stayed in there for a good twenty minutes before she turned the water off and stepping out to dry off. She felt little better, less dizzy. She still felt weak though. Drying off, she got dressed and went to the kitchen. She started off by heating up some tea, then she cooked some ramen. She put it all on a tray, heading downstairs slowly.

"Sasuke, i brought you something."

She said in a hoarse voice, loud enough for him to hear in the front. She probably should have still been in bed, but if she didn't do this no one would. She sat the tray down on the table, sitting down with a huff in the chair. Her hair was down and still wet, but she didn't pay any attention to it.

Sasuke snorted as he stared at Ino's father. His eyes stayed on him until he left,"Its a bit to late for that...", Sasuke said cleverly in his head as he gave a sigh afterwards. It was going to be hard to keep this relationship going with her father walking around all the time, it reminded Sasuke of a story his mother told him actually. Except their was no family conflict..only the forbidden love in that story. Sasuke sighed,"All these damn Jonin's thinking they can beat me.", he whispered under his breath before sighing once more. Ino was on his mind actually...was she going to be okay with the condition she was in?

No...Sasuke couldn't think like that. She is as tough as nails..Thinking like that only ended bad anyway, Sasuke had vowed to protect her anyway and he was damn sure going to keep his promise. He was going to make sure of that..

Ino listened as Sasuke nonchalantly told her father about her fever, as nothing had happened. She didn't like that, but she knew that they had to, they couldn't have someone finding out ... That would be bad, considering he was the village traitor. She wished she could hear the protectiveness in his voice as she felt her father picking her up and starting to walk towards the back.

"T- Thanks for trying."

Her father said gruffly. She peeked her head out from under the blanket, looking at Sasuke over her father's shoulder. He carried her up to her room, laying her down on her own bed upstairs. She looked up at him feverish.

"P- Please let him stay downstairs still ... I've been letting him stay ..."

She said softly. Her father frowned slightly but nodded. Leaving her room, he walked back downstairs and into the shop. Sitting at the table, he faced Sasuke. Looking at him with a blank expression.

"Now that Ino is in bed, let's talk. You can stay in the backroom, but only because Ino asked. Which brings me to my next thought. Don't get too attached."

He said, standing up and walking away. He left Sasuke to his thoughts.
