Temporal | First Meeting

Ino knew his name now: Uchiha Sasuke.

That first day, Iruka sensei, who was really nice and cool, but he had this huge scar across his nose which was scary, called, "Uchiha Sasuke." And he raised his hand, his face impassive and expressionless.

Ino was so excited because now she knew that her name was going to be Uchiha Ino! And that sounded so pretty and she was happy, so she turned and hugged Sakura tightly.

The next day, she bounced up to him and said happily, "Hi, I'm Yamanaka Ino! Do you want to be friends?" She smiled as sweetly as she could, brushing her fringe back from her face to show him her blue eyes—you have the prettiest eyes, darling, her mother had told her.

Blue eyes met black, and her smile widened. But he only fixed her with a cold glare, looked her up and down with a small wrinkle of his nose, and brushed her off with a haughty "hn".

The little blonde girl wilted, crushed at how mean he was. He was supposed to give her a ring and marry her! She sniffled sadly and blinked back tears—ninjas don't cry, her father had instilled that deep in her and wished Uchiha Sasuke liked her just a teeny little bit more.
