The war against The hidden leaf village and The hidden waterfall was over. All that was left of the hidden leaf was broken houses, the sound of children crying and the stench of dead bodies. Ino Yamanaka came back with rest of team Asuma who had now gone off to what was rest to the rest of their homes Ino had just arrived at her home and walked over the rubble searching for anyone who could possibly be alive, in the search she found a photograph of herself Choji and Shikamaru with Asuma sensei resting his hand on Shikamaru's head. Ino stopped and stared at the photo remembering the good times and smiled, she then took the picture out of the damaged frame, folded it and stuffed in her pocket.
At that moment Ino remembered her date with Sai at the hospital cafe he had been severely injured using a life threatening art jutsu. As Ino took her walk to the hospital she thought "Look at what war has done to families, ninja, the village awful things and being a medical ninja doesn't make it easier." At last Ino arrived at the hospital she signed in and the she went to the second floor where she found Sai's room. But when she got there all she could see the hospital wardens wheeling Sai out of the room Ino stopped them and yell "Where are you taking him" " I'm sorry ma'am but if we are going to keep this gentleman alive and get him to the emergency room we need you to step out the way." Ino was speechless "How could this, be Sai, Emergency room". She ran to the nurse and asked her exactly what was going on with Sai " I'm sorry miss but that jutsu has stopped blood going through to his heart and his breathing circulation was being stopped by a strike to his chest." Ino sat in the waiting room for hours on end praying he would be alright. Then out stepped Lady Tsunade and Sakura. Sakura's head bent low and tears dropping from her face Lady Tsunade broke the silence and said "I'm so sorry Ino" "No it can't be he can't be gone I... can't be without." Then Ino ran as fast as her legs would carry her out of the hospital and into the streets.
3 Weeks later...
The town looked as good as it's ever been faces had smiles on them once again people laughing, waving just as nothing had happened. All but one Ino was still grieving over the loss over her beloved. She tried to take her mind off it by training with Shikamaru and Choji, but when Choji used his partial expansion jutsu and hit Ino in the face she just layed there still and life less nothing like how she would normally which was getting up and punching Choji in the face, but she just lay there. After that she decided to spend most of her time at The lake of peace were she and Sai would sit and examine the flowers Sai would paint for her.
2 weeks later...
One morning Ino was getting ready to meet Shikamaru and Choji. As Ino began to walk down the road she noticed some items rolling to her feet, a paint brush, a painting scroll and a lily-rose a rare type of flower which is a sign of love, peace and a colourful future. At that moment tears rolled from Ino's face it was then she knew everything would be alright. Sai was watching her from above and he would guide. She decided to take a moment to examine the flower when a tall figure ran up to her; he had deep brown eyes and sleek black hair and had a deep soothing voice "Sorry beautiful I dropped my stuff down a hill and it went in this direction. Oh by the way my name is Sasiri." Ino wiped her eyes and turned around and said "It's nice to meet you Sasiri and its no trouble, ahh look sorry to rush this but I'm supposed to meet with my teammates for training. How about i give you my address and we can meet up whenever. " "Sure I'd enjoy that. Wait I didn't get your name" (while running Ino shouted) "INO"
