Confession SakuIno Oneshot

"Oh, be quiet, billboard brow."

"Shut it, Ino-PIG!"

That's how it always is between us. The constant yelling, fighting and pointless arguments about Sasuke. I don't know why we choose to argue about him, of all people.

Truth be told, I don't even like the guy that much. I mean, I used to, but that was a long time ago. Now I just argue about him with her because she likes him.

I can't forgive him for what he has done. That despicable brat stole my best friend from me. If it wasn't for him, I would still have my best friend. I would still have her.

My face fell as I watched my once best friend toss her hair to the left angrily.

"Well, Ino," she said my name as if it was a disgusting disease, "I must be going now."

"Why?" I asked in the usual tone with the usual demeanor, regretting it as soon as I did it. "Got somewhere better to be?"

"Of course," she sneered at me. "Anywhere is better than being here with you."

"Fine," I scoffed. "Whatever. I'll see you later, billboard brow."

She turned and walked hurriedly away from me. I bit my lip in sadness. Why did someone so beautiful – so pure – be so nasty and mean to me? What did I do to deserve this? Gathering my breath, I closed my eyes to calm myself.

She just doesn't know, I tell myself, breathing in and out steadily. She doesn't know. If she knew…

I guess that's the question. How would she react if she knew? Be disgusted? Hate me? Would she still talk to me the same?

But, alas, I will never know because I will never tell. Fore I, Ino Yamanaka, am a coward. A measly, whimpering coward. I cannot express my feelings at all.

I'll never be able to tell the one I love how I feel… Kind of how it was with Sasuke.

But, unlike with Sasuke, my love for Sakura Haruno is real.
