"Don't you know how much I love you…?"

"Yes, my doll, you do ever so tragically love me…Now die"

Ino leans closer to the TV that is hanging above the food counter in the mall. The woman then gets stabbed by the guy she loves. Oh how sad…the blond ninja think to herself. I wonder if Sakura and Sasuke would have the same problem?

"Jonathan! Why do you despise me so?"

"My dear, I don't despise you one bit! I love you so much that killing you is the only way to make sure that I can keep you all to myself."

Ino is now hanging half off of her seat with her elbow firmly placed her is in her mashed potatoes for balance, as the show is coming to its climax.

"Jonathan…"

"Lisa, Rest now my love."

"INO!"

As one of her teammate screams her name she falls off her seat and butt hits the floor.

"Ow! WHAT!?" Quickly Ino gets off the floor to find which one of her teammates would dare caused her to be taken away from her precious soap opera.

"Ino, are you okay?" Choji asks with a mouth full of food.

Not him. Ino thinks accusingly, then turns to her teacher Asuma. Or him.

Shikamaru is now laughing at Ino in a victorious tone.

HIM! She glares at her lazy companion. "SHIKAMARU! WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO interrupt me?!!!"

Shikamaru lays down where Ino was sitting and lazily looks up, getting a full view of Ino's under skirt and says. "You looked like you were thinking so I had to see if you were an imposter or not."

"I SHOULD-" Ino stops mid-sentence as Sasuke walks past the food court "Hold that thought."

Ino leaves her teammates with her piles of shopping bags and heads toward Sasuke.

Sasuke is looking left and right trying to find the best hiding place from his own team member Sakura Haruno.

Ino walk right up to Sasuke, who is now leaning on the wishing fountain of the mall, grabs his by the ankles and tosses him in.

"I wish you weren't a jerk!" She turns to leave and Sasuke asks. "What was that for?"

Ino whips around "Sakura was crying on the phone for TWO hours last night and its all YOUR FAULT!"

Ino smiles as she turns. She would now having the satisfaction of knowing that she, unlike her friend Sakura, was over the academy's heart throb Sasuke Uchiha.

Ino walks back to her team and tells them the good news to which Shikamaru says.

"I would hope so after that soap opera. You would think girls would leave guys alone forever."

Ino laughs as she sits down with her friends.

Friend, that's what we are now. Friends. Ino starts thinking about the first time they met, she smiles bigger. They are the best kind of friend. The ones that know the real me and help carry my stuff.
