Sai was sitting under a shady tree, doing what he does most of the time - Drawing. Team Ten were out in the sun training... Well, at least they were supposed to be. Shikamaru Nara was lying around watching the clouds. Choji Akimichi was sitting next to his best friend, eating. Ino Yamanaka was walking around picking flowers.
Sai was supposed to be drawing the field, but he suddenly realised that he had been drawing the blonde girl instead. Sai scrapped that drawing and started drawing the field again. But then the picture ended up showing Ino in the field. Sai frowned. What was up with him, anyway?
"Hi, Sai!" a female's voice suddenly greeted him from behind. Sai turned around and saw Ino grinning at him. Then he quickly tore the drawing from his sketchbook into tiny little pieces. Wait! Wasn't that supposed to be a sign of guilt?
"Sorry, gotta go," he said before disappearing. Ino stared in blank space, confused.
Sai lay on his couch. What just happened? Maybe he was not as emotionless as he thought.
He could feel his face heat up slowly as his pale face turned red. Eh? Was he having a fever?
He took out his sketchbook and started doodling again. He wanted to draw Konoha but again, he ended up drawing the Yamanaka. What the hell was going on?
Giving up, he went to read his books. Apparently he was reading a book about the topic "Love".
"So how does a crush feel like?" Sai read out from his book,"You may feel your heart beating faster than usual when you are around your crush. You may also tend to blush a lot. Every now and then, even if you don't realise it, you probably will be thinking about him or her."
After reading that, realisation struck him. He was in love.
