Somebody's Somebody
Song By Christina Aguilera
oOo
Wish I had somebody
Wish I was somebody's baby...
Somebody's Somebody
Somebody's Somebody
Ino sighed. "Sasuke will never love me." How, she thought angrily, could Sasuke choose Haruno Sakura, that pink haired girl with the huge forehead, over her? Ino was everything that Sakura wasn't. "I'm pretty, I'm nice, my forehead isn't creepily out of proportion..."
She shook her head in defeat, flinging her pillow across her room. "I loved him! I loved him! And now, I'm never going to be able to be with him! The only one I love!" Ino paused for a moment, blue eyes widening in realization. "Am I...destined to be alone all my life?"
Watching lovers walking
Hand in hand they pass me by
Wish I was one of them
Wish I had somebody waking up beside me
"I can't let him get away! No way in hell! I will make Sasuke mine!"
Ino finally dragged herself out of bed and forced herself to get dressed. Looking into her bedroom mirror, she growled angrily at her image. She no longer looked like herself. Her hair was tangled and matted into a hideous bedhead. Her eyes drooped with exhaustion, and she was much skinnier than she had been. Picking up a hairbrush, she fought with her hair, pulling out the snarls and knots. Finally, her hair was the same long, shiny ponytail that she remembered. Putting on a bit of makeup to cover the dark circles under her eyes, she set out the door and into the streets of Konoha,
Looking into my eyes at night
I want a love to call my own
I want someone that I can hold
Want someone wanting me
So I can feel how it feels to be, to be
Strolling through the crowded streets of Konoha, Ino finally found what she was looking for: Sasuke and Sakura sitting in a restaraunt, splitting a bowl of ramen. Sasuke reached over, running one hand down the silky smooth skin on her cheek. Sakura smiled, her bright emerald eyes staring lovingly into his mysterious obsidian ones.
Casually, she walked through the doors and approached the table. Sasuke cast her an angry glance, resting his chin on one hand, and Sakura held Sasuke's other hand protectively against her chest. (To this, Sasuke blushed profusely.) "What do you want, Ino?" Sakura growled, narrowing her eyes in annoyance.
Somebody's somebody
Someone's someone
Some sweet lover's lover
I wanna be, I wanna be the one
Someone faithful to someone faithful
Someone kind to someone kind to me
Somebody to somebody
Who loves me, who loves me
"Sasuke! Sakura!" Ino faked a congratulatory smile. "I just wanted to say congrats. You two are SO cute together - all anyone talks about anymore!"
Sakura obviously didn't buy the fake compliment, but Sasuke's expression remained unreadable. "Thanks, Ino." He nodded cooly. Ino was choking back tears, and Sasuke could tell. "I need to use the bathroom. Excuse me." Sasuke stood and walked towards the men's room.
Spending all of my time
Spending all my time on me
Where is that someone who
I can give my time to searching for that lover
Ino looked at Sakura, and then turned in Sasuke's direction, where the 13 year old was dissapearing into the bathroom. "I need him." Ino thought. "And there isn't anything I wouldn't do for him..." As if in a dream, the blonde drifted absentmindedly toward the men's room.
Ino ignored the shocked gasps that followed her and pushed open the men's room door. Standing by the sink, face buried in her hands, she waited for Sasuke to emerge from one of the many toilet stalls.
For the love that will change my life
I want two arms to hold me close
I want the thing I need the most
Somebody needing me
So I can learn what it is to be, to be
Sasuke came out of the bathroom, giving Ino a confused expression. "Ino? What are you doing in here?"
Ino was near tears, but she forced herself not to cry. "I needed to talk to you...without Sakura being here. Sasuke, you need to know that I..." She took a wavering breath. "That I could never stop loving you, even if you are dating Sakura."
Somebody's somebody
Someone's someone
Some sweet lover's lover
I wanna be, I wanna be the one
Someone faithful to someone faithful
Someone kind to someone kind to me
Somebody to somebody
Who loves me, who loves me
"Ino?" Sasuke smiled, wrapping one arm around her shoulder. "Listen. I think I should tell you this now...I do love Sakura. A lot. But Ino..." He looked away, embarassed. "I'll always think you're beautiful, Ino." He wrapped her in an awkward hug.
"You...you thought..." Ino sputtered.
"I did." Sasuke whispered in Ino's ear. "Sakura is my girlfriend, but you should know that it means a lot to have you there too."
"Thank...you." Ino timidly pressed her lips against Sasuke's cheek in a friendly kiss, leaving a lipstick mark for the Uchiha to wipe off. "And it means a lot to me that you don't totally despise me. I know I'm not a great person. I almost let a boy ruin my friendship with Sakura, and I know I'm not very nice to her even now...but I'm glad you don't hate me."
"I could never do that. Even if you ripped out my heart and smashed it. I will always love you Ino. But not how you love me. I love you..." Sasuke tried to think of the word. "Like a sister, you know?"
"Yes Sasuke. I know."
