A/n: Ok, here is my first 5 shot Fanfic, I have set a limit to this and will try to do it from now on except for Konoha high. Yes this is a Yuri pairing, which means that most likely sometime in here two girls will probably doing sexual things to each other, if you're not in to that, fine by me I'm not forcing you to read it. I will however warn you before any chapters with sexual content in it, this one does not have it so you are fine.

Warning: This fanfic may cause you to fall in love with your best same sex friend, if this happens, neither me nor Masashi Kishimoto are responsible.

Situations of a Frantic Mind

Lying is the Latest Fashion

Ino dropped her head to the counter of the Yamanaka flower shop, days had been so boring lately. What was the point of buying flowers anymore? She heard the bell ring, which meant someone was actually coming in the shop. She looked up to see her best friend, Sakura Haruno, this made Ino's heart skip a beat. Though it was really nice to see her, usually seeing her meant they where going to argue.

Sakura smiled and propped her elbows on the counter "So Ino, boring day?"

Ino nodded without moving "You guessed it, do you even have a reason to be here Sakura?"

Sakura suddenly raised her voice "What if I just wanted to come by and visit my friend?!"

Ino stared up at Sakura with a red print on her forehead from the counter "So did you?"

Sakura suddenly calmed "No, actually, I came by to pick up some flowers for my moms birthday."

Ino shook her head and picked up a arrangement of flowers that spelled out happy birthday "This good enough?"

Sakura nodded "the only thing you are good at, so, how much."

Ino shook her head "Take em, they have been setting around long enough."

Sakura flashed Ino a smile before exiting, but before she completely walked out she turned "Thank you Ino."

After Sakura had completely exited Ino stuffed her face in to her own arm and screamed. Those flowers hadn't been old at all, Ino knew very well it was Sakura's mothers birthday, she also knew that Sakura had planned on getting her flowers with the exact colors Ino had picked out for it. Why did Ino go through the trouble? She hoped it would… Make Sakura like her a little bit more, to make Sakura stop hating her. So she could be at least one step closer in to Sakura's heart… Because the cold hard truth was, Ino was in love with her best friend.

She had been as long as she could remember, since they where little kids she had said all those nice things to Sakura out of love, not out of friendship. She only competed with Sakura over Sasuke to maybe make Sakura give up and drop out of the race for Sasuke. Yeah Ino was popular with the guys, and she went along with it, but it was all just an act… A big lie. The things she did, the things she lied about made her stay up at night and cry.

Tears slowly dripped down her eye just in time for Shikamaru to walk in and see.

Shikamaru slowly made his way toward Ino before speaking "What's wrong Ino?" Despite the fact he said it in his usual unenthusiastic tone, at least he was making an attempt.

Ino looked up at him "Heart problems."

Shikamaru shook his head "Women are so troublesome."

Ino gave him a light punch in the arm "You punk, now is not the time to be calling me troublesome." Even though he had said all the wrong things, somehow he had brought a smile to Ino's face.

Shikamaru began talking again "Could you give me something for my dad? He messed up real bad with my mom, and I hate to trouble you in your time of… I don't know… But could I just get some flowers?"

Ino shook her head "Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I'm gonna charge you extra for making me go through this when I'm having my own problems."

Shikamaru sighed "So troublesome, dad you owe me."

A/n: Yes, yes I know, not another Yuri pairing. I'm sorry, but if you don't like it, don't read it. I've had the ideas for this fic in my head for a long time and I'm gonna write it. Not only that I am dealing with my second favorite pairing in the Naruto world. If you do like this by all means please review it, it would be greatly apreciated.
