I'MMMMMMMM BAAAAAAAAAAACKKKKKK from god-knows-where and I'm starting a new story. A long one too.
Ok my fans, or just curious people reading this, here's the info.
The coupling is a little bit complicated to understand. It's not rated PG-13 for girl-girl love. That stuff will only go to PG.
Rated PG-13 for cussing and whatever else I might throw in.
(I'll explain more later.)
Prolouge
"C'mon!" Ino snapped at Sakura. She followed Ino down the hallway, with her limp affecting her speed.
"Shuddup! I'm coming!" Sakura yelled back at the annoying older blonde, "Can't you see the twisted ankle here?" She pointed to her left leg, glaring at her best friend.
Ino sighed and stopped, leaning against the wall to wait for Sakura. "Look, don't get all fussy about it. Besides it's not that bad a wound, I've had worse."
"That's encouraging." Sakura muttered as she hobbled as fast as she could.
What's worse with having to walk down a long hallway, is walking down a long hallway, then two flights of stairs. And what really hurts the most is the fact that she got this injury from the certain dark-haired boy she had a crush on when he tripped her.
'Had' being the key word there.
They made it to the end of the hall where the stairway was inconveniently placed for a high school. Sakura sighed as she peered over the railing. A whole bunch of stairs stood beneath her. She sighed and looked at Ino sadly. "Why doesn't this school have an elevator?"
Ino scoffed and skipped down a few steps, and spoke quietly, not intending for anyone to here, "Because it's a cheap-ass school." Sakura giggled a bit. She set her foot down and began climbing down the plain white stairs holding herself up with the railing. Paint chipped here and there when her hand brushed over it, sending a ticklish sensation up her arm. Lifting her uninjured foot lightly down to the next step, she looked around to see how far she had gone. Not much. Ino was hopping down the steps like a little child, mumbling about the bad things in this schools. Sakura smiled, but her smile didn't last long.
Her head started spinning and before she had a chance to grip tightly on the railing, she lost control of her body. She swayed from side to side, fearing what'll happen to her. Her eye saw nothing but colors of the world around her, mixing and fading off to black. She managed to do one thing before falling over the rail, unconscious:
Scream.
Ino turned and saw a frightening sight. It looked to her like Sakura was about to commit suicide. Did Sasuke break her heart that much?
She ignored the rest of these thoughts, and forced her feet to run. Luckily, she was already on the next set of stairs and only had to move down a few steps to catch her best friends.
Forcing every bit of her strength into her feet, she jumped high in the air, arms wide, with only a single thought in her mind:
Please let me catch her.
"Hey, who are you?" A young girl yelled at Ino. She sat against a tree and was dressed in clothes that did not have any dirt of holes in it. Her strawberry blond her fell down her back a ways. Crystal green eyes searched Ino. She held an open book in her lap.
Ino stood proudly. I live here. Sorta. I live down the street. Did you just move in?"
The girl nodded. "Just a few days ago. But that's beside the point. What are you doing on my lawn?"
"Sorry, I wanted to see who lived here. I'm Ino."
"Sakura."
"You're older than me!" Sakura gasped.
"You just noticed?" Ino laughed, "You idiot."
"Shuddup. But this means we'll be in different grades." Sakura looked heartbroken.
"Oh please. If you want, I could fail for you. Would that make you feel better?" Ino said with a slightly odd tone.
Sakura shook her head, "No! Your grades are important! No failing."
Ino shrugged. "Predictable."
"What was that?"
"Eep."
"I hate you!" Sakura yelled at her mother.
Her mother tried to reason, "Sakura, honey, please. I know you two are friends, but she is not the type of person I want you hanging out with."
Sakura rolled her eyes, "Mother, she's not what she seems! You don't know her like I do! She's my best friend!" With those final two words, Sakura ran out of her house, slamming the door behind her. Ino was standing outside. Her eyes formed tears that did not fall.
"Thank you for standing up for me." Ino said below a whisper.
Sakura was still a bit angry, but her friend was more important that her anger at her mother. "It was nothing."
Ino leaned forward and hugged Sakura tightly. A slight breeze brushed through their hair, but they didn't notice it.
The next few moments went by slowly to Ino. Sakura falling and Inos' miraculous catch. But, sadly, being in midair means you must come back down. Ino saw this and had managed to twist herself and Sakura around so that she would hit the floor instead of Sakura.
They fell. Ino held on tight as they both hit the ground, The loud thud echoed on the stairs. All went black to Ino.
Sakura came to when she had landed. Seeing Ino laying beneath her made her blush a bit. Without the strength to move much, she attempted to wake Ino.
"Hey, Ino. Get up. C'mon, Ino. I need your help," Sakura said as she shook Inos' shoulders. Ino opened her eyes slowly. "Ino! Yes, you're awake. Can you get up?"
"Yes." She said as she slid out from under Sakura and sat up on a stair. Sakura laid back against the stairs she landed on. "Are you ok?" Sakura asked Ino.
Ino nodded, but her eyes said otherwise. Can I ask you something?" Sakura looked at her and nodded slightly. "Who are you?"
(If you couldn't guess, the words that were underlined and in italics were memories.)
Please help me. I don't know what I'm getting into.
I know it might be confusing, but trust me, it should get easier.
Please give me any idea that pops into your head and review. That gives me courage to keep on going. (I've already got the next chapter planned. So, till then.)
