"Sakura," A soft voice whispered into my ear. "I love you! Why can't you see it?"

I frowned not knowing the answer for the question that was asked. "What are you talking about," I asked unsure who I was talking to.

"I love you," The voice said even softer this time. "I will always love you."

"Sakura," my mother's voice sung from the bottom of the steps.

I groan getting out of bed and running down the stairs. "I told you I was up," I mumbled scratching the back of my head.

"Well Sakura I just wanted to make sure that you didn't oversleep. You always say that if your ever late to school that your going to die," my mother chuckled softly.

"I am!"

"Sweetheart you can wake up twenty minutes before school starts, eat, and then finish all of your unfinished homework and you still wouldn't be late."

"But I like to go early and workout with Ino," I pouted.

"And you like to make out with Ino," She said softly poking me in the nose.

I was going to protest but Tsunade walked in and groped my mothers breast. My face turned a bright red as I turned my head. "Do you need a ride," Tsunade asked pulling away from my mother.

"Um…"

"I will take that as a yes," she said grabbing a piece of toast.

I looked over to my mother who shrugged her shoulders innocently. I rolled my eyes and grabbed my lunch bag. "I'll see you after school," I mumbled walking out the door before I had to witness my mother kiss my biology teacher.

I got into the car and leaned my head against the headrest. When the door opened I didn't bother looking at her.

"So are you and Ino a thing," she asked buckling her seat belt.

"Why do you and mom think that?"

"Because we're gay and we usually know when someone else is gay. Especially if we see them 24/7."

"I'm not gay," I grumbled as she started the car.

She sighed heavily as she pulled off. "You know that we will love you no matter what, right?"

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. "You haven't married my mother yet."

"Still doesn't mean I don't love you."

"You guys don't have to worry about not loving me or what not because I'm not gay."

Tsunade parked in the teacher parking out and I quickly exited the car. "Do you need a ride home," she called after me.

"No, Ino is going drop me off," I answered quickly walking into the building.

I walked into the school and began to make my way to the weight room. As I turned the corner I crashed into some. "Shit, I'm so sorry," I said trying to pick up all of the spilled paper.

"It's fine," a calm voice said as she took all of the paper from me. "Things like this happens time to time. I'm Konan by the way."

I looked up to be met with the most stunning amber eyes that I have ever seen. How the hell have I missed someone with amber eyes and blue hair? Was she new here or something?

Noticing that her hand was out waiting for me to take it I blushed deeply and took her hand shaking it. "I'm Sakura. Ah…are you new here?"

"No. Why do you ask?"

Ah…Maybe I'm asking because I have never seen you around here before. I mean it's kind of hard to miss someone with blue hair. Like it was hard to miss me. "I just don't remember ever seeing you around here before."

"Hmm it's most likely because I have took advance classes since my freshman year so I'm always on the fifth floor now."

"You're a senior then?"

"Yes I am and you're a junior."

"Ah…yeah."

"Well I have to warn you that calc next year is going to be a pain."

"Ah thanks…" She nodded her head and then pulled out a flower made out of paper. "That's so beautiful."

"Then it's perfect for you," she said smirking as she placed with flower into my hand. Of course I had to blush. "Well Sakura I'll see you around. I don't want to keep Hidan or Deidara waiting any longer then I already have. It was nice meeting you Sakura."

"You too Konan."

"See you around."

She walked past me leaving me a little confused. I'm straight! I'm very straight and I was just admiring a beautiful woman.

(In the weight room 20mins later)

I was doing a few crunches when Ino walked in bobbing her head to a song that she was listening to. She stopped and gave me a wide smile.

"How long have you been here," she asked loudly due to her headphones being on high.

"For thirty minutes," I answered doing another crunch.

She took them out quickly with a frown on her face. "Huh?"

"I said for thirty. If you didn't have your headphones in your ears every time you come in here then you don't have to worry about hearing me," I sighed.

Ino chuckled. "Well I could do that or I could ask you the question twice like I always do."

I stood up and ran my fingers through my short light pink hair that for some reason tips were black. I mean it's already bad that I have pink hair but did I really have to have natural black tips. "Yeah or you could do that."

Ino grabbed my hand and lead the way to the pool. "I haven't swam all year."

"That's because you never get here early enough to swim," I replied rolling my eyes.

"Well I am today."

We stopped at the pool and Ino quickly skimmed out of her clothes. I followed suit quickly taking off my clothes. I hopped into the pool and swam towards Ino who was already near the deep end.

"This is great," Ino said when I got into range. I rose an eyebrow at her comment. She quickly turned the other way but not before I seen the blush that was creeping onto her cheeks. "I mean spending time with you. You're my best friend and it seems like we don't spend much time together anymore. You refuse to sit with me at lunch and we barely talk when we have class together unless it's for a project. I miss just spending time with you."

I sighed heavily. "One your friends don't like Hinata, Naruto, or me at all. Two if you want to sit with me at lunch you can always join us at our table. And three I don't want to ruin you rep."

Ino's shoulders slumped when she heard my reasons. "But I'm the head cheerleader…"

"Exactly."

I dived under and swam to her other side so that I could face her. "Don't worry we'll hang out more before school's over."

"Promise?"

"Yeah I promise."

Ino smiled before jumping on me and causing both of us to sink. I began to push on her trying to get her to release me before we both sunk to the bottom. Unfortunately because Ino worked out more then me I could not pull her off of me. Thankfully, however, Ino released me and swam back to the surface.

I followed her back up and sent her a death glare. "What," she questioned frowning.

"Nothing," I grunted.

Ino stared at me for a few minutes before she swam in front of me. "When did we change," she asked softly.

"What do you mean?"

"When we were kids our parents couldn't pull us apart. WE did everything together and we had fun doing everything together." She paused most likely thinking back to all of the good times that we had when we were younger. "But now it seems like we can't ever find time to get together. What happened?"

"We grew up."

"But that shouldn't change anything!"

I looked at her sighing heavily. "That changes everything! We can't be glued to each other anymore because we have different interests now and we want different things in our future then when we were younger."

"Well yeah that was going to happen but besides cheerleading and studying what differences are there?"

"We don't have anything in common anymore."

"That's not true!"

"Ino what do we have in common? Hmm? What exactly do we have in common."

"We both like staring at the clouds and we both love old movies. Umm…we love snow-"

"Ino stop," I said cutting her off.

Ino's blue eyes pierced my green ones as she tried to find something that was lost in my eyes. "Don't you miss it?"

I couldn't lie I did miss hanging out with Ino. "I do."

"Then why can't we get back to how things were?"

I rolled my eyes and got out. "The bell is going to ring in ten," I growled walking to the girls locker room. She didn't get it. All we can really do at this point is start over.

"Are we still hanging out," Ino asked running after me.

I sighed softly. "Of course we are."
