Sai looked around the crowds streets of the Leaf Village for a certain blond hair girl, 'why does it have to be so crowded' he thought emotionless as he keep on walking, lucky it was summer.

after a while he decided to leap onto a random roof, looking down at the people beneath scanning every child,female and male that had blond, but no luck finding lovely Ino Yamanaka.

he sign deeply, he's jet black hair covering he's snowing pale face. 'where is she?' he thought as he closed he's eyes.

"Sai!" yelled a males voice, Sai opened he's eyes slowly looking at the direction where that voice make from. he soonly found it was the cheerful naruto dressed in he's usual orange suit.

"what is it Naruto?" Sai said as the 18 year old Naruto was finally infront of him.

"did..you...hear...?" said the blonde boy as he tried to catch he's breath.

the pale guy rose a brow as he keep staring at the Uzumaki guy, "hear what?" he said curious naruto smile, as he finchally catcging all he's breath. "sasuke's back and lady Tsunade said it's ok and we should all welcome him since he was able to kill Itachi and killed alot of enemies from the Fire Village" he said smiling from ear to ear.

Sai stood there shock 'ino...' was he's first thought knowing how she used to love him.

~flash back~

Sai was sitting down on the soft grass watching some kids from the village play with a purple ball with a black star in the middle.

he took out he's drawing tools as he was about to paint them when Shino the bug boy walked up to him from behind.

"about time you draw some one different" said Shino, staring at Sai through he's sunglassed Sai put he's tools down as the kids keep on playing in the park.

"what do you mean" said Sai, still looking at the kids.

"you usually draw that Ino girl" said Shino standing a few behind him.

Sai's eyes widen abit then looked at the clear morning sky.

"well she inspires me" was all Sai said as the image of ino came to mind and he was able to see her in the sky, with her famous smile.

"mhm" said Shino, as he then looked at a lady bug lad on hes brownish jacket.

it stay quited for a moment as Shino keep looking at the bug and Sai the sky.

Once the red lady bug with only 3 black spots flew away, Shino talked again "let's hope that's all that is it..." Sai looked at him as the creepy bug guy keep on talking "cause her heart belongs to Sasuke "

"the Uchiha guy?" asked sai Shino nodded slightly as Sai looked back at the sky "he left a few years ago tho" "i know that, but that was the Yamanaka's first love, you should have seen the way her eyes lid up everytime she saw him, and how much she suffer when she left, she still loves him you never stop loving your first love" said Shino then walked away.

"i know i'll never forget mine" whisper Sai to himself as he looked at the sky to see Ino there again.

~End of flash back~

"is that why so many people are out today?" asked Sai abit upset that they will welcome back a trader with open arms.

Naruto nodded "yeah, the news was everywhere since like 6 in the morning and people wanted to buy him something to celebrated he's arrival"

Sai nodded abit, not believing what was happening, it finally seem that Ms. Lovely was starting to like him and now this, her first love came back, he had no chance against the famous Sasuke Uchiha.
