May be a slightly confusing strange style; Sakura's first person POV.
I kind of love this pairing a lot. Originally it was just 'well what do you do with the ladies if Sasu and Naru are gay for each other?' but now this pairing trumps SasuNaru in my mind. Maybe i just like yuri better? idk...
"Are you sick of fighting?"
Danm straight, I am. Didn't I just back down?
"I know it's not your fault . . ."
Not my fault Sasuke is gay. Psh no. He was probably gay the whole time. While I was mooning over him and Naruto was chasing after me, he was secretly pining for Naruto. And he got his wish, and they're so sweet it makes me want to be sick. He left us fighting over lost honor.
But I've paused too long.
"Sakura, are you sick of fighting?"
"Hell yes, Ino. I'm so over this."
"Great then. Friends?" She comes over to shake my hand.
"Totally. Fag hags together." I hug her.
We stand looking at each other. Her hair looks so silky, and her eyes are so bright.
But she's not looking at my face.
"Sakura, there's something in your hair."
"Shoot! Where?" I paw at my pink bob.
"Over . . . Here, let me get it for you." Before I can react she reaches over, and suddenly her hand is tangled behind my head, and she's pulling he closer. Is that lingering resentment I sense? Or . . But I can't process it. All I know is her smooth face is right next to mine, and I have to step forward to keep from falling into her, and suddenly she's very close, smelling like flowers, and her bangs are in my face and her eyes are intense
and she kisses me.
Just for a second. Then she pulls back, lets go, stands with her hands hanging limply at her sides. I was just kissed. By my rival-turned-friend. Not Sasuke, not Naruto, not even a boy. And I can't say I minded. But Ino is looking at me sorrowfully.
"Sorry, Sakura."
"What for?"
"For that. I wasn't thinking. I didn't mean for it to happen like that."
"But you meant it to happen?"
"Eventually. I think." She looks sheepish, eyes darting everywhere but my expression.
"Huh. It was kind of strange."
"Sorry, sorry. I'll go away now."
"No, no, Ino. I just didn't get it."
"Huh?" Alright then, Ino, let me spell it out for you.
"Do it again please."
Now she comes towards me, just the couple feet. I stand, intent on letting her do it all. Her face is uncertain. She puts one hand on either side of my hips, and slides her arms around my waist. I can feel her heart beat racing in my chest. Her mouth is just a little higher than mine. Not enough to make any difference. Then she just closes her eyes and presses our lips together. A little chaste kiss. A nothing. Before she can pull away, I put my arms around her shoulders. I like the feeling of our bodies pressed together. Not exactly sexual, just pleasant. She doesn't look too alarmed, so I lay my head on her shoulder.
"Thanks. I think I got it that time."
"Nice line, Forehead." I pinch her back.
"My first time."
"You're kidding!" She does a little shoulder move and pushes me away. She doesn't let go, just pushes me back far enough that she can see my face.
"Not kidding. Never been kissed. Not even by Sasuke. Or should I say, not even by Naruto."
"I had no idea!"
"Well I imagine you're old hat at this stuff." I lay my head back on her shoulder.
"Kind of. First time on a girl though."
"Really. I would have thought the whore of Konoha would have tried everything." That would have gotten me a kick in the face from old Ino, but new Ino just punches my hip. Not in a painful way; in a 'that wasn't very nice' way. I like new Ino better, myself.
