-linebreaker-

A year had passed since the defeat of Madara. It seemed that peace could finally rule over all Five Great Nations. However not everyone was celebrating.

Despite it being a beautiful summer day and the flowers were bloomed, Ino's heart was in turmoil. It's been a year since her father Inoichi perished in the war. As did many others had. Yet it wasn't only her father Ino was mourning. Her mother suffered a great deal without Inoichi. She passed away in her sleep a few months after him.

The Yamanaka Flower Shop was then passed down to Ino to run after the death of her parents. She couldn't bring herself to sell it. For it was a piece of her parents. So she hired some help. Which happened to be Hinata Hyuga.

Ino was rather surprised when Hinata asked her for a job. So naturally Ino wanted to know why. Which made the bluenette blush, but she did tell Ino why. Whatever reason Ino had came up with it wasn't anything that Hinata had said.

Hinata had confined in her that while she dated Naruto she always felt strange with him. It wasn't till Tenten accidently kissed Hinata did she truly realized why it felt strange being with Naruto. She was into women not men.

It didn't take a genius to realize Hinata's father Hiashi had disowned and disinherited her for this reason.

The shop was closed for the day, so Ino found herself at a loss on what to do. Hmm wonder what the other girls are doing? As if summoned by that thought Ino heard a rather loud voice shout from outside "Hey Ino-Pig! Get down here us girls are going swimming".

Ino peeked out the window. "Be a little louder Forehead, I don't believe they heard you in Suna. I'll be down in five minutes" she exclaimed.

Ino decided to wear a dark purple bikini. She quickly threw on her robe before leaving here home. "Come on Pig let's get to the before others do" Sakura chirped.

Ino couldn't help but roll her eyes at the pinkett's antics. Their friendship hadn't always been this pleasant. It was getting better though.

As they made their way towards a lake that rested about a mile from the gates of Konoha, Ino couldn't help but fell a little jealous. Sakura finally got her wish to be with Sasuke. Sure Ino had stop crushing on him years ago, but she wish she could find someone.

It seem like a lot of their friends found love. Tenten and Naruto now. Kiba had some chick name Tamaki. Shikamaru got Temari, finally. Even Shino had a mystery woman.

Once the lake came into view everyone was eager to jump in. That's when Ino realized she had the most plain bathing suit ever.

Tenten had a dark green with white trimming bikini on. That was modest looking. Sakura on the other hand had on a red bikini that had hearts on it. It looked to be a size to small.

Then Ino noticed Hinata's bathing suit. She felt her breath hitch. Normally Hinata wore a one piece but today she wore a bikini that was lavender with white trimming. It was a little skin tight on the bluenette.

Ino felt her face getting hotter by the minute. She had to force herself to look away. Is this really Hinata? Oh gods and goddesses what is happening to me?! She felt a pool of arousal forming. "Are you okay, Ino?" a familiar soft voice asked.

It felt like Ino couldn't breathe. Sure she always knew Hinata was gorgeous, yet it puzzled her why her body was reacting this way to the blue haired beauty now. "Hai, I am fine Hinata" Ino whispered.

Hinata couldn't help but notice how Ino was staring at her. She started to feel a little conscious , she went to reach for her robe. But Ino grabbed her hand.

"You shouldn't have to hide that gorgeous body of yours. Especially from me". As soon as those words left Ino's mouth she regretted them. After all this was Hinata she was talking to.

Hinata promptly turn a nice shade of crimson. She shyly looked to see if the others were watching them. Feeling suddenly bolder that they weren't she turned to Ino. "You can view my body anytime you like" she whispered in Ino's ear.

THUD- Ino fell flat on her ass. She couldn't believe Hinata just said that! Is this the new Hinata or has this been part of her personality for awhile? "Whh..ah..tt" Ino stammered.

Hinata giggles " You heard me". She then makes her way into the lake, swaying her hips very suggestively. All Ino could do was gape at her. Deciding she should join the others she jumps in. Her breathing still shaking.

Hmm wonder how soft Hinata's lips are? As soon as those thoughts enter her mind she shook them off. Honestly what was wrong with her? A very feminine squeal brought her out of her thoughts.

"Naruto proposed to me!" Tenten exclaimed. A round of congratulations came. " How did he propose?" Ino asked. Which in reply caused Tenten to turn scarlet. " Uh..I can't tell you all the details but let's just say it involved a candle light dinner in the Forest of Death".

"How romantic! I hope Sasuke proposes soon" Sakura proclaimed. Ino couldn't help but sigh. She was happy for her friends but the same thought invaded her mind. Where is my special someone?

The conversations started to come to an end as the sun started to disappear. Sakura and Tenten left first. Leaving Ino and Hinata behind.

Ino got out of the water and started to put on her robe when she was turned around by Hinata. Hinata smiled before kissing Ino's forehead.

Ino started to blush. She wanted to say something but didn't know what to really say. So she started walking back.

They both walked in silence. Once they got to Ino's house it was almost completely dark. " Good night Ino" Hinata whispered. Ino bit her lip. Her feet moved on her own as she soon found herself placing a kiss on Hinata's forehead too.

"Good night Hinata" Ino whispered back.
