Chapter 1: The Kill

Ino picked up what remained of her books before heading over to the cafeteria. Her best friend, being one year older stood by her side with a simple smile. Her arms were free since she had already put her stuff away. Letting out a sigh of relief she neatly piled away her books. About to close the door she winced at the picture of her and her ex-boyfriend, Naruto. She ripped the picture off of the door and simply shoved it into the vast locker before locking it behind her.

Tenten looked at her best friend with concern but before she spoke Ino muttered, "It's just him..." Tenten bit her bottom lip remembering how their two year relationship ended in a tragedy. Placing her hand on Ino's shoulder she comforted her.

"Ino-chan..." Tenten began lowering her hand from Ino's shoulder, "It's been a month since he..." she turned away, as she noticed the haze returning to Ino's eyes. Ino quickly nodded at what was to be said and the two just silently walked over to the cafeteria.

It was three more months before the end of their highschool year. Ino already took this in but Tenten was to move away and go to a university. Ino tried her best not to mind it, but it worried her having to be alone. This time of the year she expected for herself to feel happy for Tenten and happy to getting one step closer out of the world of highschool. Those feelings changed when her boyfriend Naruto died in a car crash. The driver had been drunk, but wasn't identified at the scene of the crime. Last week they had found the culprit, Ino wanted so badly to beat him up. She just didn't feel up to it, Tenten noticed the change in her behaviour. Ino, though not being too popular knew quick a lot fo people in the school, even though it was barely. The usual friendly waves she received decreased because of the level of depression that distracted her. Luckily not too much to completely destroy her upbeat personality, once she had enough time off of the thought, she was herself again.

Standing in line at the cafeteria Ino's mind stirred staring at the sloppy joe's that they were selling. She looked for anything low in fat, like a salad. Unfortunately no luck at all. Wincing, picturing her fat self in her head she took off from the line quickly telling Tenten to meet her at the usual table. Tenten was about to call out to her friend, but she didn't want to embarass her at all. Brushing away some hair from her face she sighed and ordered her own lunch.

Ino rest her head on the lunch table, holding the water bottle in her left hand. She lifted her weary head and took a sip from her water bottle not really noticing how boney her fingers looked. Three girls walked by, three girls Ino knew quite faintly. She only knew them because they had similar classes. She turned her head away from the two girls; Hinata, and Sakura. Taking another sip of water she let out a sigh not noticing that Sakura glanced over to her.

"Hey there Ino-san," she called out politely to the slightly mopey blonde. Ino turned her head over to the pink haired teen with a fake smile. She waved her left arm barely before turning around again. Sakura frowned at this and whispered into Hinata's ear, "What's wrong with her?"

Hinata poked her two index fingers together, "P-Probably because of what happened to N-Naruto-kun..." she barely stuttered trying to keep the memory distant from anyone nearby. Sakura let out a sigh and turned her head to where Yamanaka was sitting. Biting her bottom lip she couldn't tell why she was so concerned about Naruto's death and it's effects on Ino. Sure Naruto used to chase after her, but he and Ino got together. She and Ino were friends in elementary for most of the years being broke up by the cutest boy Sasuke who at this point lives alone and barely pulls off the effort to come to school. Such silly children affairs that tore the two best friends apart. But nowadays it was different, she had Hinata and Ino had Tenten. They lived two completely different lives only seeing each other at school. Sakura never got rid of the feeling of missing her. She did her best to supress it to the fullest extent.

Tenten sat down before Ino taking a big bite from her sloppy joe. Ino saw the extra one she had and instantly knew what was to come, "Tenten-chan, as close as we are I am not going to eat that even if it is from you." Tenten winced at the slightly shocking reply, she knew of Ino's eating problem. It developed once more after Naruto left, another reason why she hated whoever killed Naruto. Whoever killed Naruto killed a huge part of Ino, and it ate away at Ino's usual personality. Tenten almost felt bad for having to leave, she wondered how Ino would survive. Maybe sometime this year or next year she would find someone new. Ino was beautiful, smart and usually perky. Any boy would go out with her, but with the way her whole anorexia thing is going, she might scare away the boys.

"Ino-chan you need to eat," Tenten pushed taking an apple. Ino frowned at her friend and grabbed the apple from her hand, "Thank you..."

"Just for you okay Tenten-chan?" she stared at the apple as if she was looking in her own fake reflection again. She looked over at Tenten again feeling the urge to eat it again, "Only because I didn't eat breakfast either."

Tenten flinched at this, "You didn't eat b-breakfast either? Don't your parents notice at all?"

"Naw," muttered Ino taking a huge bite from the apple, "Besides they're always at work...they're probably too busy to notice anything wrong with me. I'm fine with it," she chewed the apple contently as Tenten finished her own lunch. "Sometimes I am tempted to eat..."

"Then why don't you?" asked Tenten wiping her face with a napkin, "It'll be good for your health!!!"

"Why?" Ino asked finishing her lunch, "I'm as fat as the pig that resigns in my name."

"You are so not!" yelled Tenten, "You my friend are becoming anorexic and I can't stand it!"

"What do you mean?" asked Ino, "I look like a fat pig!"

"NO YOU DON'T!" shouted Tenten, everyone in the cafeteria staring at her. Ino's lip trembled and she ran off towards the washroom water bottle still held in her hand.

She entered the washroom with several tears whelled up in her eyes. Finishing her water bottle she tossed it out into the trash her hands reaching out for the toilet paper. She cried her little heart out, "I can't deny it..." she whispered inbetween sobs, "No one should deny it..." She sniffled and wiped her red eyes, "I am fat. It's simple..." She dried her eyes with the rest of the toilet paper, "I'm an ugly, fat, piece of trash..." She held her arms close to her chest, "Naruto-kun..." she muttered, his name echoeing throughout the stalls.

The washroom door swung open, soft movements of the feet reached the sinks. Ino kept herself quiet while the tap turned on. Wiping her dried eyes she exit the stall hoping it was tenten. She wanted to apologize for overreacting, she knew Tenten would understand. After the death of Naruto, she's been a bit unstable.

Instead of the brunette she wanted, there stood a pink haired girl. She smiled slightly at the memories of their childhood, and remembered how they parted because of a certain boy. Ino remembered the greeting she received earlier at lunch and waved at Sakura.

"Hello to you too Ino-chan," Sakura replied with a smile. It felt good to use such familiar terms again and her fingers tingled from her hand coming into conatact with Ino's while handing over her handkerchief, "You kind of have a little something here," she muttered wiping it away. She didn't notice the faint blush that appeared on Ino's face as she continued to rub it. Smiling she place the kerchief in Ino's hands. Closing the fingers tight she smiled at her friend, "Keep it, I never liked seeing you in tears."

"T-Thanks Sakura," she'd never been so timid in front of her former best friend. It was probably because of the state she had been in. Giving her friend a quick hug she wished her goodbye. Before walking off Sakura grabbed her arm twirling her right around.

Ino's face instantly turned red while Sakura's remained calm. Their faces were just a centimeter away, Ino and Sakura's noses touching. Green eyes looked into blue ones before the green eyes hid behind eyelids and lips came into contact.

At first Ino was objective to the kiss trying to get out of it. Eventually she dwelled into the kiss, adding her part to it. Opening her eyes once more Sakura broke off the kiss the two of them looking into each other's eyes. Ino bit her bottom lip, "I-I...I can't," she muttered, "I'm sorry Sakura-san..." with that she fled leaving a confused Sakura.

----------------------------------

A/N: Well there's the first chapter. If you think it's a bit rushed, Sakura's feelings will be more clear next chapter. Sorry for the slight OOCness in Ino, but she is pretty depressed but she will be back to her normal self soon enough. I'm sure that there may be some...Erm lemons in the future. But the relationship has to develope first. Leave a review and comment please? No flames, but constructive criticism is okay with me.
