--------------------------------
Her eyes welled up with tears. She looked ahead to see the love of her life, slowly bleeding to death.
No, it can't end like this, she thought.
They had known each other since childhood and were often teased that they would end up together during adolescence. They were partly right. The two lovers where scheduled to get married just two weeks from now...it looked like it would never happen.
"Hold on, help is coming soon! Just don't close your eyes, please!"
All of their memories together were suddenly flooding back into her mind as she stared upon him.
The day they first met, their first kiss, their first fight and...the day he proposed to her.
He had proposed to her exactly the way every girl would dream a guy would. He had planned everything out. He took her to a romantic setting and got down on one knee and proposed. She, of course, said yes right away.
After everything they had been through...it just couldn't end like this.
With a sigh, she put her book down.
Name: Sakura Haruno
Age: 21
Boyfriends: None
Occupation: Medic/Ninja & Hopeless Romantic
Ino was pounding on the door screaming, "Billboard! No matter how many times you read that book, the ending won't change! He still dies!"
"I can hope, can't I?!" she yelled her voice strain obvious that she was crying.
"Honestly Sakura! Instead of reading romance novels all day, why don't you come with me to the bar, where actual guys exist?!"
"I do not read romance books all day! Did you forget I spend most of my time in the hospital?"
"Ya ya ya..Sakura the almighty single medic. Oh and let me in billboard! Your neighbors are starting to give me weird looks."
Slowly taking her eyes off the pages, she went over and let her annoying best friend in. They had fixed their friendship when Sasuke left, both of them realizing it was stupid to fight over that arrogant jerk. Ino had moved on to numerous boyfriends till she had finally stayed put with Shikamaru, whereas Sakura had taken a different route. Ever since she had gotten over Sasuke, it was like she was avoiding all boys all together, as Ino had put it; to her defense Sakura merely stated that she was just busy; and to Ino's offense she had kept trying to set up Sakura with as many guys as she could.
"Took you long enough," Ino complained as she flopped onto Sakura's old couch.
"Whatever. Anyways you're planning on going to the bar dressed like that?" Sakura asked as she sat beside Ino, still with her book in hand.
"Yes, so what? There's nothing wrong with it!"
"I'm sure Shikamaru would mind that you're going to the bar with a skimpy outfit like that Ino."
"Oh, well he won't mind this time, since he is going with me..."
Figures. He's probably just going to glare at all the guys that will hit on Ino. Sometimes I wonder if Ino dresses like that just to make Shikamaru jealous. Hmm...maybe I would too, if I had a boyfriend which emotions usually only consists of boredom. It's a surprise that they even ended up together..
and you're going with me too!"
..but then again, they do say opposites attract..
..Wait a second...what did she just say..
With her left eye twitching a bit Sakura calmly said, "No! Never! Nope!"
"Aww, please Sakura?!"
Sighing she said, "Cmon Ino, I know this is just another one of your numerous plans to get me hooked up with some random guy I just met. So under no circumstances am I going with you!"
Oh god...I'm starting to remember all those freaky horrible dates again... The first time Ino had set her up, Sakura was quite wary and as soon as her date started arrived she knew she had every reason to be. It was horrible, her date was named Akio and it was like he was another version of Lee or Gai, except Akio was worst. At least Lee and Gai had respect for females, but Akio was a pervert. Let's just say that Sakura had wished she had brought her black gloves with her that night, for she ruined her perfect manicure Ino had suggested she get. After that, the dates kept getting worse. I swear if these memories don't stop, I'm going to start banging my head against that wall to make it.
Luckily Ino's high voice cut in.
"They were not random guys! I was sure you all knew each other since they all knew your name, where you worked, where you lived, your likes and dislikes..and many other things that even I never knew.
Sakura narrowed her eyes and hissed, "That's called stalking someone, Ino."
"Opps?"
"Opps is all you can say? After the things you put me through?!"
"Awww Sakura, this time it'll be better. I promise! Pleaseeee just come?"
"Like I said before Ino, no;never;nope!"
---------------------------
And that was how Ino walked into the bar with two people by her side.
One was glaring at the numerous males undressing Ino with their eyes, and one was glaring at Ino herself.
