Hello there! This is my first time publishing in English and I'm using a story that I already published in 2015 about Sai and Ino.

If any line looks weird, please, tell me. English is not my first languague.

Enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own NARUTO.

Warning: Narrated from Ino Yamanaka's point of view. Situated after the chapter 699 of the manga.

Tulips

Only chapter

By Megumi Kurosaki

What will he think about me? No, rather... What will he say about me? Will he say that I'm unbearable? Hysterical? That I force him to do thing he doesn't want? Well, that is true but... but is not because I'm mean or something like that.

Will he say I'm mean? That I'm the worst of all? That I'm...? No, no, I need to calm down. He wouldn't say that. But, if is not, then what will he say? Maybe he says he doesn't need me, that he doesn't have to be with me. If he says he's going to leave me? Nah, I don't give him reasons.

Or do I?

Have I treated him badly? Sometimes. Have I yelled at him? An infinity of opportunities. Has he ever complained? Never. Is that good or bad? Let's see, on one hand is good because that means he... he... wait a minute, that's not good, that's bad. Really bad! He doesn't complain cause he talks behind my back. No, silly, that's impossible, but If it were like that... what would he say? I don't think he says bad things, he probably says nice things.

Nice.

Now that I remember, he usually doesn't says nice things to me.

Gorgeous this, gorgeous that but no other compliment or praise. Could it be that he doesn't think I'm gorgeous? That he says it but he does not feel it? Is that why he never tells me anything? Will he says nice things to someone else?

No.

No, that would be impossible. Furthermore, with whom could he be besides me? He doesn't talk to a lot of people for obvious reasons. I don't think he says sweet things to any other girl in the village. Oh, just thinking about it makes my stomach stir.

But if...?

My head hurts from thinking about the matter. Why do I have such an interest in what he says or not about me? I don't care.

I don't care?

"I'm a mess", I tell to myself when suddenly I feel someone knocks the door. I don't even flinch, don't want to see anybody. This person insisted but I didn't even move. Anyways, If it was something important, it wouldn't for me. I wasn't here.

The taps were worse and I felt like that person was thundering my brain. So I decided, sadly, to open the fucking door.

I tell you, if it's Naruto, I wouldn't have compassion. I would throw a flower pot to that scatterbrain.

"I'm coming!", I shouted so it, at least, stop with the noises. Enough so that there was pure silence on the other side of the entrance. Then I, totally wild, opened with great exasperation to later suprise me about the situation, skidding on my face a big question.

There was no one.

"Who could be the joker?! I'm going to...!" Stopped my words abruptly when I felt that my bare feet stepped on a small stem. "What's this?" asked while I lifted a piece of paper, which had something particular written.

To Ino.

From Sai.

I stifled a gasp with my other hand. What was all this about? Although the paper left me speechless, what end me was the thing I stepped on just a minute before.

A flower.

Contrary to what it seemed, I was not angry to the fact of him giving me something like that, owning myself a flower shop, but I do blushed violently, as I were attacked by a great heat because I understood not only the meaning of the flower but also what Sai could say about me.

The flower was a striped tulip.

"You have beautiful eyes".

THE END.
