Ended in tears

Her fairy tale would never come true. Sweet dreams would never be seen. There would be no more flowers. No happy endings. All this ran through her head as she stood, alone at the altar. She remained, blanklessly watching everyone leave, ignoring everyone who pleaded for her to go home. She waited, her heart filling with rage as each hour passed. She stopped counting after the fifth hour. Not even the wise words of Kakashi, or Tsunade could move her. She couldnt hear, deafened by the numbness in her heart.
"...and don't let her beat you at love..." she stood remembering the kind words of Asuma.
Sixteen.

I just turned sixteen. I met him a few days after my sixteenth birthday.
He called me pretty lady.
He drew me pictures.
We went on dates.
We ate under the stars.
We shared secrets.
I told him I loved him.
I taught him how to love.
We grew together.
He told me he loved me.
I was a virgin, despite rumors.
I gave myself to him. He gave himself to me.
I loved him.
He doesn't know...he doesn't know...

Ino fell to her knees. The tears would not stop. There was no consolation. Rain fell, camoflaging her tears, thunder masking her screams.

He opened his right eye. His left eye was swollen shut. This room was all too familiar to him as he lie on the cold floor, arms and legs bound. His suit was a mess, torn and bloodied. He did all he could to escape, but he had no chance. He couldn't bring himself to imagining how Ino felt, being stood up at her wedding. Of course, he read many a novel of that situation, but he never thought that'd be an issue for him. Besides that, he never thought he'd be the type to fall in love or even get married. He truely and deeply loved Ino, something that he never could have fathomed. There'd be hell to pay as soon as he could get himself out of this situation.
"I told you years ago to never forget your purpose. I sent you into konoha with a primary objective. This is something you seemed to have forgotten. Next thing I know, you're dating, fucking, and of all things, marriage? Are you kidding me?" Danzo said angrily. "You are nobody. I own you. I tell you what to do. For your stupidity, you'll be paying me back. Lock him up!" Two ninjas picked Sai up, taking him back to the familiar confinement of Danzo's residence. Sai knew that any attempt he'd try to make at escaping would mean inevitable death. Even to make it out onto the entrance grounds above, he'd probably die, as he was sure he had been sealed to the territory. The door to the room closed and locked, the binds on his wrists and ankles dissappeared. Sai sat on the bed, trying to think of a resolve to escape. He couldn't concentrate because all he could see in his mind was the look of hurt in Ino's face.

It hurt like hell. Ino didn't know what to say to the beatiful little girl staring up at her. She was mostly a quiet little girl, somewhat shy and very analytical. Maybe she picked that up from Uncle Shika, as she would call him. She never asked many questions but when she did, they made Ino surprised considering her age. She just turned six this year, and today, she decided to ask about her father. "What happened to my dad?"
Six years had passed since Ino last saw Sai. Many said that he was dead. Others talked under their breath or behind Ino's back that marriage was too much for him and he left Konoha high and dry, never looking back. Ino looked into the onyx pools looking up at her. The small eyes of her daughters, those passed to her from Sai. God she looked so much like him. "Mommy will have to tell you later, ok?" "Ok mom." "Show me what you drew today!" Sani jumped up in excitement and pulled several scrolls from her backpack. "Mom, you're not gonna believe what they showed me at school..." Sani pulled open the scroll, revealing her sketches of several small animals. "So I drew my favorite animals and flowers for you! Now watch this!" Sani laid the scroll on the floor and touched it with her palm. Suddenly bunnies and piglets popped out of the parchment and the flowers started sprouting. Sani beamed at her mom, her small eyes arching in half moons. Split image of her father, Ino thought. "Im so proud of you honey!" She hugged Sani tight. "Lets go show Auntie Billboard Forehead!" "Do you mean Auntie Sakura?" Sani giggled "Yep, let's go my beautiful little flower girl!"

"If she's asking now, when do you plan on telling her. You know how she is." Ino stood at the window of Sakuras kitchen, watching the girls giggle and splash in the small pool outside. "I don't know Sakura" "Well don't put it off for too long. She deserves to know." "I'm gonna wait for her to get a little older." "Alright. So what do you think about her drawings?" "Honestly, I was surprised... I mean, I knew she took alot after him, but I wasn't expecting that. I thought she was gonna take after her grandma. Most girls in my family are medical nin anyway...
