Sorry this took so long to get out- it's been written for a while but its not one of the major stories ive been working on, so i kinda forgot about it . not my fault . anyways, here she is, chapter two, lots of turmoil right at the start, and a lot longer than chapter one (which was basically a prologue) please review, i want to know how much you hate my work ;) ill get back to working on this story soon, but warning; when i actually get around to the real stuff, it might be a bit rusty- i havent written a yuri in quite a long time.

Ino and I shook our heads simultaneously, and she looked sideways at me. "Good. Now go get to bed- you're going to need the rest." Once again simultaneously, we nodded once and turned to go. Unfortunately Ino was in front of me, causing my mind to stray again to what that tight little bottom would look like presented to me naked in my bed. She stopped and looked at me curiously before turning in the opposite direction of my home, toward hers. I sighed, relieved that I didn't have to walk home with her or put up with those thoughts anymore.

I was wrong. Without her there, the fantasies were getting more and more strange. I did my best to block them out, and I decided that sleep would be the best remedy for them, so as soon as I got home I stripped down and crawled into bed, allowing myself to slowly drift off to sleep…

"Ino, what are you doing?" She approached me slowly and I realized we were both dead naked. She placed an arm around my waist and pulled me close to her, staring directly into my eyes. I felt her hot breath linger on my lips, felt a jolt run through my body at the close contact, couldn't tell where I ended and she began. All in one moment she pressed me tighter to her perfect body, kissing me fiercely and backing me onto a bed. I fell onto it and she pushed me back, then broke our kiss and placed a hand on my shoulder, gently pressing me to lay down. She straddled me and kissed me again, viciously and this time I responded, kissing her back with just as much, if not more, vigor and excitement. A pulse of excited pleasure ran through me again as her hands started wandering over my body, one massaging a breast and one extracting a startled moan from me as she began rubbing my clit. I moaned louder, breaking our kiss and ramming my head backwards with pleasure. All of a sudden she was gone, moving, pushing my legs up and out and pushing herself inside of me. Ino's face paled and her eyes became obsidian, her hair shortening and turning black.

"Sasuke!" I came to my senses with the devil himself still inside of me, staring straight into my eyes and holding me to my own bed by my wrists. "What are you doing here?" I hissed at him, spitting in his face. I struggled against his binding wrists and screamed as loud as I could.

"Scream all you want, nobody will hear you, Sakura. Besides, this is what you wanted… isn't it?" He thrust roughly into me and I screamed again, this time from the pain of his engorged cock seemingly splitting my virgin channel open. "My, my, you were so much more fun when you were delusional. Crying out for Ino. What are you, a fucking lesbian now? And I expected so much more…" He sighed dramatically and continued his painful thrusts, grunting after every other word. I whimpered from the pain but still kept my voice fairly steady to speak.

"Get the hell off of me! What do you want with me?"

"Nothing, forehead," I scowled at his use of one of Ino's favorite names for me. Bastard. "I just wanted to tell you how much I love you…" He cackled evilly and I whimpered as he thrusted faster into me, ramming hard to his hilt and within several seconds I felt my channel flooded with something warm. It was over as quickly as it had begun and he pulled out of my naked body, grinning. I was weak from the pain and had trouble getting up to follow him down the short hallway to the stairs.

"You fucking bastard what do you want with me? GET THE HELL OUT OF MY LIFE!" He only turned and laughed, an unfamiliar, snakelike gleam in his eye as he fled my home. I went and curled back up in bed, feeling disgusting and violated and I was extremely scared and pissed off. My thoughts drifted back to how my mind had thought of Ino in that dream, or delusion, or whatever it was, and how turned on I had been, how aroused I had been until I woke up. "Kami, Ino what did you do to me?" I spoke out loud as I looked at my clock, noticing it was time for me to be getting ready to leave anyway. I showered and thought of what had happened, wondering what Sasuke had showed up for after all this time, wondering why Ino had this affect on me, wondering if these two things had anything in common.

These thoughts mixed up my focus and distracted me until I was approaching the city gates near dawn and I saw her outline against the trees, just a dark shadow among others. I got closer and my eyes traveled over her as I approached. Her long slender legs, her perfect, beautiful face, those bright blue eyes full of energy, and her long silky blonde hair.

I craved to tangle my fingers in her hair and press her soft lips to mine. I had the urge to attack her, and kiss her like she was air and I was drowning. I longed to pull her close and never let go; to whisper sweet nothings and meaningless things in her ear; to make her smile and giggle and kiss me just as eagerly as I wished to kiss her. It was at this moment that I realized I was in love with Ino Yamanaka. It was at this moment that I realized I had never loved Sasuke. I had only wanted him, just like every other girl. It was also at this moment that I realized she would never love me. She would never even like me. She hated me. And finally, it was at this moment that I wanted her more than I thought I could possibly bear, wanted her to hold me as well, as I cried and told her all about the bastard that had violated and raped me.

"Wake up, forehead. It's time to stop walking and start really traveling." I was shocked out of my head, but only wordlessly picked up my pace, and soon I was flying through the trees behind her. Lost completely in my thoughts, the entire day was over before I knew it, and it was time to make camp.

"Okay forehead, you set up the tent and I'll get a fire and food started."

"Alright." She looked at me curiously.

"Are you… okay? You've been totally quiet and spaced out all day. I bet you didn't hear a single word I said all day, did you?" The truth was, I hadn't even realized she had said anything after we left.

"Uhh, no. Was it anything important?" She laughed… unusual for talking to me. I felt my gut clench with the reality that I couldn't tell her.

"No, not really, just me babbling about pretty much nothing." I wondered why she was being so friendly. Maybe she thought I was sick. Maybe she was sick. I asked her.

"Um, Ino are you sick or something? Why are you being so nice to me?" She turned away from her pile of wood to look at me.

"I feel bad for what I said earlier. I mean, I know you're still upset about Sasuke." She didn't even know the half of it. "What I said was rude and insensitive." I looked at her skeptically, trying to act normal.

"Since when have you been nice enough to feel bad about something mean you said to me?" She turned back to the wood pile.

"Because… well Sasuke's gone… so we don't have a reason to fight anymore. I mean, what's the point in being horrible to someone that used to be your best friend when the whole reason you got in a fight with that person was over another person that's gone now." A total jumble of words. Good thing I finished with the tent before I heard that.

"What?" She laughed.

"Sorry that was kinda confusing wasn't it? What I really mean is, why should I hate you when the whole center of our rivalry is gone? It's pointless." Gone my ass. I forced a smile.

"Oh, I get it. So does that mean… we're sorta friends again?" I felt the yearning to be more than friends rip through me, and pushed it away as she pulled food out of her pack.

"Sorta? Sakura, we're completely friends again." Great. Just great. A week ago I would have been the happiest girl on earth. But now… I was happy and at the same time terrified. Now I would see her more often. Now I would think about her more. Now, these thoughts and dreams would never go away. Maybe I would learn to push them to the back of my mind at least when she was around. Maybe. And being friends meant I had to tell her things. Like the fact that Sasuke was a horrible villain that needed to die. "But anyway, I truly am sorry for being so mean earlier. I guess my mind just got stuck in the past for a moment. I mean, its been a while now since he's gone, but you must have really loved him to still be hurting this much.

"Yea…" It was strange to see Ino looking so concerned for me. It was like a single day had shifted things completely. My entire universe was floating around me now, waiting to be put back together, put back in a sensible order. I had a feeling what that order would be, but it damn sure wouldn't be sensible. I stared into the fire for a few more minutes, silently listening to Ino babble happily again as we ate.

We chatted about random things for maybe another half hour, but the sun was turning in quick. As if she could read my mind, Ino looked up at the sky. "Guess it's probly time to turn in. We've got an early start tomorrow."

"Yea." I climbed into the tent and took the bed roll on the end, beginning to worry. "Good night, Ino."

"Night!" I smiled. She sounded like she'd have trouble getting to sleep. Always so energetic. I decided I'd try my hardest not to sleep. If that dream came back and turned out to be just a dream… who knows what id wake up to… what Ino would wake up to. I felt a heat gather inside of me as an image of the both of us naked, huddling up together in the tent popped into my mind. It made my arms ache with the need to reach next to me and pull her close, but I resisted. If I did something stupid now, I'd screw up everything.

"Hey, Ino?" I spoke silently, so as not to wake her if she was asleep.

"Yea?" She automatically spoke in a tone just as soft as mine. Her voice sounded so sweet.

"I… uh…. Never mind. Good night." She sighed, as if irritated with me. Strange, but it almost sounded like she was getting impatient about something. Her voice revealed nothing.

"Good night, Sakura." The urge again washed over me to roll over and pull her into my arms; to hold her and never let go again; to tangle my fingers in her long blonde hair and nudge her head back just slightly so that her soft lips met my hungry ones; to caress her perfect body and hear her moaning my name as I cover her with my hot, hungry mouth… I shook these thoughts away, or at least tried to, and curled up into a tight ball. Making sure my mouth was blocked by the blankets.

A chill ran through me and I realized that the temperature had dropped quite a bit after the sun had gone down. I heard nothing but crickets and an owl in the distance, and Ino's teeth chattering slightly. I listened to her breathing and noticed that I must have been thinking again for a while, because her breathing was steady, even though she was cold. She shifted in her sleep, huddling up to my back for warmth. I felt the corners of my mouth turn up gently. I was strangely comforted by her body huddled up against me, and I knew that as long as she stayed there, the dreams wouldn't be bothering me that night. So I let myself sleep.
