She waited and waited but of course there was no show, no one showed. It soon got to dark to be out alone, but she waited a little while long. She knew were going to show up, they wouldn't leave her waiting, they would have called if they couldn't show up. She sighed, part if her would be glad if they didn't show up though, the kissy faces they all made each other, the things they would say to each other, it all made her feel sick, she would get left out, she would be that extra wheel. Another part of her was saddened by how they had been treating her lately, when they would hang out. But she would get tired of being with them all the time. They were her friends and she couldn't say to to them, even though they never pull through. She felt a tear fall from her eye; they had forgotten about her, all of them. No one called, or texted her that they couldn't make it.
The wind blew, leaving a chill down her spine, she looked down at her cell phone, 9:23. She had been waiting three hours for no one to show up. She shook her head and stuffed her phone in her bag, she looked around one more time before heading towards her car. She kept walking, hoping the guys playing basketball wouldn't see her and try harassing her. She hurried faster towards her car but was stopped. She looked down, avoiding them and trying to walk away but on of the men grabbed her arm and puller her back.
"Where do you think you're going baby?" One man said, while touching her face. She flinched, pulling her face away from the man's hand.
"Oh, she's a fighter, my favorite type." The man holding her spoke. He pulled her closer to his body. He put his arm around her neck, using the other one to touch her upper tigh. She wanted to fight back but knew better, if she did she was probably gonna get hurt. Her only other choice to was scream, praying someone would hear it.
He mouth was covered and panic spread all through her when one of them started to unbotton her pants. Her screams were muffled, she doubted anyone was going to be able to hear her. She closed her eyes, hoping it would end quickly and painless. Tears started streaming down her face and they all laughed at her.
"Maybe we should give you a real reason to cry." Her pants fell down to her ankles and a hand glided up her leg, touching her womanhood from over her underwear. She tried to fight away from the mans grip but she was to weak. Two fingers pulled on her underwear bring them down slightly, she yelled again and tried to kick the man.
"Who the fuck are you?" The fingers left her alone. She could hear people getting hit and thrown around. "Hey, what are you doing!?" The man yelled. She was to scared to open her eyes to see what was going on. A second later she fell to her knees, coughing from how tight the mans grip was around her neck. Footsteps walked closer to her, she opened her eyes and saw blood on the floor around her, now she was to scared to look up.
"These guys make me sick. They're idiots." A new voice spoke. "Trying to rape a poor girl because they aren't getting laid themselves."
"They make all guys look bad. There's no point in them living, I say we just end their lives now."
"Shut up Deidara. Now lets get the fuck out of her before the fez shows up."
"Wait, what are we gonna do about this chick?" She finally looked up, her pale blue eyes were bloodshot from the crying. Three men stood in front of her, all looking down at her. "Say, what's your name, hm?" A man with blonde hair bent down to speak to her. She opened her mouth the talking but nothing came out, her throat was dry and her lips were quivering. The blond boy looked up at a guy with long dark hair and deep dark eyes. He looked all to familiar to her. He shrugged and looked down at her, his cold dark eyes left a chill going down her spine.
"Well, what the fuck is your-"
"Hidan, shut up, don't talk to her like that. She's been through enough right now, she doesn't need someone like you to be rude to her." Itachi Uchiha, he was Sasuke older brother! That's why he looked so familiar to her, but why was he here? He left after their parents died, leaving Sasuke all alone.
"Don't tell me what the fucking do, you prick. I'll say whatever the fuck I wanna say!" Hidan looked down at her. "Well girl what is your name?" She stayed quiet before she could calm down enough to answer.
"I-Ino Yamanaka." She looked up at all of them and smiled a little. She looked around at the bodies lying on the floor, they all looked like they were dying. "Thank you." Her cell started to ring, she searched through her bag. "Sasuke? Why would he be calling me?" She said to herself not realizing they were listening until she saw Itachi stiffen at the name. "H-hello?"
"Ino, I'm so sorry we couldn't make it to the park. I was gonna tell you earlier but and something came up. I really hope we didn't keep you waiting."
"It's okay Sakura, I didn't even go. I had lost my phone." What a total lie. They had her waiting three hours and she almost got raped because they were to busy to give her a call.
"Okay, good." Sakura laughed nervously over the phone. "Oh, well I'm using Sasuke's phone because mine died, so I gotta go but I'll call you tomorrow, bye." Ino hung up and threw her phone back in her bag.
"Lying to a friend is never a good thing." Deidara said. Ino looked at him then back at the ground.
"Yeah? Neither is leaving someone waiting for three hours with no call. But it's getting late, I should go home." She stood up and took a step but her legs were like spaghetti and she almost fell down if she hadn't grabbed onto Itachi's arm. She blushed and then looked away from him.
"It doesn't look like you're in any condition to walk, let alone drive." Itachi looked at Hidan and Deidara. "I'm going to drive her home, you guys follow us in the car." He looked down at Ino who was still holding onto his arm. Hidan and Deidara looked at each other then back at Itachi and Ino. "Where's your car?" He asked her, she let go of his arm and tried to walk again, but failed; her legs were still shaking. Itachi picked her up with a sigh, her eyes met his and she blushed. "The car?" He asked, she pointed towards her car.
"I say we leave him there, he's been getting on my nerves. Better yet, follow him until we get to the house then take off when he's walking towards the car." Deidara said, we a grin on his face.
"How long do you think it'll take for them to fuck?"
"Tonight, all the girls for the his 'Uchiha charm'." Deidara rolled his eyes. "Plus he saved her, so she owes him something."
The car ride to Ino's house was filled with silence, awkward silence. It made Ino really uncomfortable. She watched him mess with her radio, changing some of the stations, why she was letting him was out of her control. Ino hates when you mess with her music. "You have horrible music taste." He spoke, breaking the silence. "You have the taste of a teenage girl."
"Well I am a teenage girl." She laughed.
"Okay, well next time, I'll show you what real music is."
Wait, next time? What did he mean by that, did he actually wanna see her again? She blushed but looked out the window so he wouldn't see her. She fell vibrating coming from her bag, but she didn't really feel like taking it out and checking who it was.
She looked at the street at pointed to the left. "Make a left here, then it's the third house on the right." She really didn't wanna go home, with her parents gone on a trip she wouldn't be alone. She would normally call Sakura to spend the night with her, but after what happened she didn't want to see any of her friends. She let out a sigh as Itachi pulled into the driveway, she looked down then at him and smiled when he looked at her. She didn't expect a smile back and she didn't. She waited unitl Itachi turned off the car to open her door and step out, almost falling but Itachi caught her. She leaned against the car and waited for Itachi's friends to show up. "Thanks, I mean for everything. If you and your friends hadn't showed up,"
"Don't mention it. We all hate guys like that...well I do anyways. They can rough when they drink." A honk caused both of them too look over at the street. Ino frowned knowing she was going to be left alone, a part of her wanted Itachi to stay, not to leave her alone. But she knew nothing of him. She waved a goodbye but he didn't say anything.
Once Itachi got closer to the car, it sped off. Ino's jaw dropped when the car didn't slow down or come back. She looked over at Itachi who just stood there, he mumbled 'idiots' before sighing.
"What just happened? Did they really just leave you behind?" He didn't answer her, there was silence for about five minutes before Ino spoke again. "Are they going to come back for you?" He shook his head. "Geez, what great friends they are." She said sarcastically, thinking to herself for a moment.
"Those fucking morons. When I get my hands on them this time." He turned to face the blonde girl who was lost in her own thoughts. "I'm sorry about this."
"You do got some really great friends." There was another silence between them for a moment. "Well, if you can stay here until tomorrow morning." Wait, what did she just tell him? If he father found out she had a guy he didn't know, he would kill her. While waiting for his answer, she took out her phone, she only had one text and it was from Sakura.
"No, I couldn't. Your parents would probably get mad." He looked back at the street and sighed. "I can walk, it's not far from here." He took a few steps but Ino begged him not to walk.
"I won't let you walk alone. Besides my parents went on a business they won't be back unitl who knows when." She crossed her arms over her chest. "Plus, I owe you for saving me." She didn't understand why she was so determined on making him stay at her house. When he didn't answer she slowly made her way over to him, making sure to not fall. She grabbed his arm and pulled him towards her house.
He let his lips curl into a soft smile, she seemed to stubborn to fight with, so she let her win. He turned around and picked her up like at the park, taking the keys out of her hand. Unlocking the door he looked down at her and almost blushed with how innocent her face looked, with a small tint of red in her cheeks. Then he realized, why did he pick her up anyways? She could walk perfectly without his help. But with her skin and hair so close to him, she smelt amazingly sweet, like flowers and candy. He put her down lightly on the sofa and then closed the door. He looked around and saw a big house void of people, she lived here all by herself when he parents were away for probably months. He looked down at the blonde who was now standing besides the sofa.
Ino knew she shouldn't have stood up, now she felt dizzy and lightheaded, she was afraid that if she took a step she would pass out. She waited a few more seconds, noticing that Itachi was watching her. She sat back down and then pointed at the other sofa for him to sit down. He didn't take her offer though, instead he sat down next to her. Their arms brushed against each other and she blushed. She stood up and waved for Itachi to follow her.
"I'll show you where you're gonna sleep." She grabbed his arms and dragged him down the hall, stopping at a red colored door. She reached on top of the door and grabbed the key that was hidden there, the room was painted red with black strips. A picture on the dresser caught his eye out of all the rest. He picked it up noticing it was a picture of Ino when she was younger with an older boy with shaggy black hair and bright green eyes. "That's my older cousin. He was staying here for most of his life. That picture is pretty old, I'm surprised he still has it..." She let her voice trail off. Walking up next to Itachi and looked at the picture with him. "He was like an older brother to me. We won't blood related though, he was only here because my mom and his mom were best friends and when she passed on, my mom wanted to take care of him." She closed the closet door and placed the clothes she picked out on a table next to her. She watched as Itachi looked around the room some more before giving him the clothes.
"Where is he?" He asked, stopping when he got to the nightstand and saw some more pictures there. The first one was of Ino, her cousin, and what he was guessing her parents. The second one was of Ino and her cousin again. He had her on his shoulders and she was crying, but he was laughing. The last one was of Ino and another women with light brown hair and hot pink eyes.
"He's out seeing the world with his fiance, the girl in that picture. Her and I were really close, like a sister I never had." He flashed her the picture of her on his shoulder. "Oh that picture, I had fallen and hurt my knee, he was trying to make me laugh." He turned to face Ino, placing the picture back where he found it.
"You can wear these to sleep in if you want. You look about the same size. And tomorrow if you need anything to wear just find something in his clothes, he won't miss anything." She grabbed a shirt and put in up against Itachi's chest to see if it would fit. She put the shirt down and took a step back when she saw that he was only inches away from her. He took another step forward causing her to stumble back, and just handing him the clothes out of embarrassment. "The bathroom is down the hall on the left. I'll be in the living room if you need me, bye." She flashed him a smile and walked away. She could feel her face heating up, she was blushing bad.
"What was I thinking? It's just never been like this before, with anyone." He laid back on the bed and thought to himself for a while, until his phone rang. "What do you want?"
"Is it true? Are you really back in town?"
"Yeah, it is. I'll be staying here for a while. Also, I'll be going to the same school as you."
"You won't last. You'll just leave again, you'll never change."
"Don't be so sure of yourself, can to make this a bet?"
"Sure, why not? What happens if I'm right?"
"Whatever you want to happen."
"I want you to leave for good."
"Fine, and if I win?"
"Unlikely to happen, but if you do...you can have whatever you want."
"Hmm, then you got yourself a bet little brother." He hung up the phone, of course he was going to win the bet. He wasn't planning on leaving anytime soon anyways. He looked down at his phone and grinned. "You're on Sasuke and I'm going to win this."
