Silence
By Alden
--------------
Ino has this room in her house that she avoids. Though is would be easier to just walk through it to get across her house, she avoids it. Because the room is dark. The room is dirty.
The room is silent.
And that's just what unnerves her about it. She can't stand silence. The noise from the busy household, you'd think, would bleed in. But the rare times Ino walks into the room, and closes the door, it's silent.
Whenever she feels daring, or angry, she storms into that room, to scream and prove that the room isn't under a spell or something. But it creeps her out too much for her to even open her mouth...
Her whole life is based in noise. Whether Shikamaru or Asuma are complaining, or Chouji eating, or Naruto yelling, or something else, it's always noisy. Even the sound of crickets in the darkness, when she sits alone in a field at night, fills the silence, the white noise in the distance.
The only thing that is silent in her life, other than that room, is him. After years of yells, smiles, demands, he is cold. After years of showered love and gifts, he is lonely. After all her attention, he is silent. And it unnerves her. She'd like to lock Sasuke in that room, alone, where he could learn that silence isn't the best thing in the world.
What she doesn't realise is, contrary to popular belief, her own heart has the same reaction to Sasuke.
Silence.
