Is This Love? Maybe For Her

Chapter 2: Winter

This is going to be an AWESOME year! Ino thought while combing out her hair. It was January 27th and she had been going out with Itachi Uchiha for an entire week. She started dressing for her date with Itachi; he had said to dress formally. She pulled on a purple halter dress with a back that ended only an inch or two above her ass. The front of her dress dipped low in a U enough to reveal her navel, and the hem of the dress stopped slightly above her ankles. The shoes she wore were silver and wrapped three times around her ankles and had a strap fall along the middle of her foot to connect to three other straps that kept her foot in her shoe, there were clear gemstones to align all the straps. She pulled her hair up into a high ponytail with a thick, long bang covering the right half of her face. She had on sparkling eye shadow and lip gloss and black mascara.

She took her small purple purse with the adjustable strap and headed out her door to get to Itachi's house for 7.

*************************************************************

Ino reached Itachi's house right on time and knocked on his door. When Itachi opened it she couldn't help but stare at him. He had on a black silk button up shirt with a dragon design on the left side in silver with black slacks and black, shining shoes with his hair pulled into a low ponytail with his bangs framing his face. All in all, he looked damn sexy.

"Wow, you look hot," Ino said

"You look quite delicious yourself," Itachi replied, wrapping his left arm around Ino's waist and pulling her flush against his body. Despite her 6-inch heels she was still a couple inches shorter then Itachi. He kissed her passionately and Ino blushed, even though she was used to this sort of treatment she still couldn't help it. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling herself upon her toes and pulling Itachi down slightly. They kissed for over a minute before parting.

"Let's go," Itachi said, closing the door behind him without letting go of Ino and locking it.

"All right," she replied, and they headed down the stares, Itachi's arm still around Ino's waist.

At the bottom of the stares a shiny black car was waiting for them, a tall man in a suit and hat opened the door to the back seat for them, Ino went in first, then Itachi. The man closed the door for them and soon enough, they were driving down the road.

*************************************************************

A 15 minute drive brought them to a large restaurant with two floors and a sign that read BLUE DRAGON in bold, italic letters. The driver dropped them off at the front of the restaurant and drove off. Ino stared at the restaurant in awe.

"Wow, I've always passed this place, but I've never been inside," Ino said, still staring at the front of the restaurant, then her eyes fell upon the unimaginably long line that started at the front door of the restaurant and ended two blocks down. "Oh my God, how are we gonna get in? The lines long as hell," Ino said, her voice sounding a bit disappointed.

"Did you forget who you're with?" Itachi asked sarcastically, giving Ino a chaste kiss and dragging her by her waist to the front of the restaurant. As they reached the entrance a short woman with long brown hair pulled into a high bun in the back of her head came to them and held up her clipboard.

"I'm sorry, Sir, but you'll have to wait in line, we're very busy tonight so please just-"

"Excuse me, Ma'am, we're on the list," Itachi said, somewhat irritated by the short the woman.

"I'm sorry, Sir, but what list?" the woman said, looking slightly confused and annoyed.

"Check your clipboard," Itachi said, rolling his eyes at the now incredibly irritating and stupid short woman. She looked at him, raising an eyebrow.

"What's your na-"

"Uchiha," Itachi interrupted. The short woman rolled her eyes at his rudeness and checked her clipboard. Her eyes checked name after name, scrolling down the list until she looked under SPECIAL GUEST and found the name UCHIHA ITACHI. The woman looked up in surprise and began apologizing.

"Sir, I'm so sorry for my earlier rudeness, I had no idea. Please, my name is Yuina, please, I'll show you your table upstairs, Sir, please follow me."

Yuina led them to a small corner booth on the second floor of the restaurant. Itachi scooted Ino to the corner on the left and sat down next to her while Yuina handed each of them a menu.

"Your waiter will be a long in a minute or two to take your order, call on me if you need anything else. Please enjoy your night," the woman said and turned to walk off, but Itachi called her back before she could head to far.

"Yuina, mind getting us some of your finest white wine?" Itachi asked in a smug voice.

"Of course not, right away, Sir," Yuina said forcing a smile and walking off. After she had returned, poured them a glass of wine each and left, Ino began to speak.

"Wow, you really know how to handle these people; you're on a special list?"

"Of course," Itachi said, sipping at his wine, "I have a reputation, even around this restaurant, therefore I am treated like a God," he finished with a smug smile.

"Sweet," Ino said, taking a sip of her own wine, "wanna see how much we can get out of these people?" Ino said, grinning wickedly.

Itachi smirked back at her.

*************************************************************

It had been almost two hours since they had come to the Blue Dragon and Ino and Itachi were quite satisfied with themselves. They had just finished ordering desert and were now talking about the several things they had forced the waiters to do over the past two hours.

"I can't believe you actually got that weird waiter to sing Barbie Girl for us!" Ino said to Itachi, laughing quietly but uncontrollably.

"I can't believe I did either. A man like that you'd think had a spine," Itachi said, sipping at his 7th glass of wine while Ino finished her 8th.

"And then those two waitresses that acted out part of an episode of Kodocha, I can't believe it," Ino said, laughing even more.

Itachi gave a slight chuckle and Ino calmed down when she saw their waitress bringing their desert.

"Here's your dessert Sir, vanilla ice cream, and Ma'am your chocolate cheese cake," the blonde waitress hugged the now empty tray and smiled at them, "I hope you enjoy your desert," and the girl left.

Ino looked at her chocolate cheesecake, "think she spit in it or something?" Ino asked, poking at it with her fork.

"No, she wouldn't dare, not with what I could do to her," Itachi answered, eating a small spoonful of his vanilla ice cream.

"Besides," he continued, "we've been very nice to her, she probably only smiled because we didn't force her to do anything embarrassing," he ate another spoonful of ice cream.

"In that case, "Ino said, "yay!" She took a forkful of chocolate cheesecake and placed it in her mouth, sliding the fork out slowly. She chewed, swallowed and her face lit up. "Oh my God it's perfect."

"Mind if I tried some then?" Itachi asked, scooting even closer to Ino, who then scooped some of the icing on her finger and rubbed it along his nose and mouth.

She started to giggle and Itachi's eye twitched. He grabbed her chin roughly and grumbled.

"Lick it off."

Ino looked at him raising an eyebrow.

"Now," Itachi said forcefully.

Ino nodded her head slightly and moved her face forward. She stuck her tongue out and licked the icing off his nose, careful to get all of it off. She swallowed the icing and then came to his mouth. She came even closer and licked the icing off his mouth, but before she could pull back her tongue Itachi caught it between his lips. Itachi kissed her and sucked the icing off her tongue and she moaned quietly. They continued to kiss for a few seconds and then parted. Itachi licked his lips.

"You're right, it is good," he said, then looked down. "But there's something I like even more then the icing. Itachi moved his right hand to Ino's private and began massaging her through the dress. She moaned and covered her mouth. Itachi smirked as Ino attempted to speak through her quiet moans.

"Maybe we- oh… Shouldn't do th-this… Here?" Ino closed her eyes, then opened them again, only to see Itachi's smirk widen.

"I don't see a problem with it," he replied.

Itachi pulled the hem Ino's dress up over her thighs. He pushed his hand up her leg and reached into her panties. Ino gasped as Itachi's finger entered her.

He fingered Ino and began to kiss her neck as she moaned.

"Oh God…" she swore she was going to lose her mind as Itachi's finger went faster, she was going to cum.

"Itachi," she gasped, "I'm gonna-" Itachi removed his finger. He pulled back his hand and continued to eat his vanilla ice cream as if nothing had happened. Ino stared at him, face flushed.

"What was that?" she whispered angrily.

"You'll cum when I do," Itachi said casually while eating his ice cream.

Ino struggled to find words, but for some reason she couldn't and went back to eating her chocolate cheese cake. Soon enough, the check came.

*************************************************************

The car that had taken them to the restaurant had brought them back to Itachi's apartment. As the black car went its own way, leaving them there, Ino spoke for the first time since what happened in the restaurant

"I guess I'll see you tomorrow, good night," she said, turning around to walk away. Itachi caught her left hand and pulled her flush against his body.

"And where do you think you're going?" he said, a smug look on his face.

"I'm going home," she answered, "where else would I be going," she tried to pull away from Itachi but he had wrapped his arms around her, forcing her to stay against her will. He smirked.

"We're both going to my room."

"No way, not with what happened tonight," Ino shot back angrily, which only made Itachi's smirk widen.

"That's only what you think sweetheart," he answered her sarcastically, throwing her over his shoulder and beginning to climb the stairs. She yelped and started hitting his back rapidly.

"Put me down! I'm not staying with you tonight! Put me DOWN damn it!" Ino yelled. Itachi continued ascending the stairs.

"If you really didn't want to do this you would have made more of an effort to get away from me. You want this more then I do and you know that very well," Itachi said smoothly and for the second time tonight, Ino found herself at a loss for words.

*************************************************************

"Fuck," Itachi cursed as he continued thrusting into Ino roughly from behind.

Ino, herself, was moaning loudly and uncontrollably into the pillows her face was being shoved into with every thrust. Itachi's pace increased rapidly and soon enough he found himself groaning the word 'fuck' over and over again while Ino muffled her own groans and screams into the pillow in her face. Itachi pulled out of Ino and fell beside her while Ino also collapsed onto Itachi's bed. A few seconds later she suddenly felt the blanket shift beneath her and she was forced to sit up. Itachi then fixed the blanket over himself and Ino.

They laid down beside each other under the warm blanket, and then Ino noticed something incredibly irritating at the time.

Huh? What the hell is this... Furry thing on my arm?!

Her eyes burst open to find Yuki, Itachi's little kitty, nuggled up against her arm.

Aww, how cute, I guess she kind of likes me now...

And, with that, Ino drifted offinto a comfortable sleep.

*************************************************************

(TWO WEEKS LATER)

"Thank you, come again!" Ino had taken over the flower shop for the day since her father was extremely sick and her mother had to stay home and take care of him. She had sat down at the chair in the corner of the shop when her phone started to ring. She stood up and fished her cell out her right pocket. The caller ID read 'Babyboy Ita' and she immediately answered.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Nothing, really. Come by my house around 3 Saturday afternoon, dress warmly, ok?"

"All right, no problem."

"I've got to go now, see you then."

"Okay." Itachi hung up the phone, as did Ino.

"Finally, something to look forward to," she said, relieved.

Ino turned her head when she heard someone open the ell on the door ring. I creepy looking man with wet-looking black hair and scary gray eyes came in, he was wearing a large black coat with his hands in his pockets.

Ino tensed up at the sight of him, and he gave her a strange look and said in a low voice.

"You work here?"

"Yes," Ino said, staying where she was, "how may I help you?"

The man began to fish for something in his pocket and Ino clenched her fist, ready for anything. The man looked up and pulled out his wallet, he opened it and pulled out a slip of paper. He walked toward her and held it up.

Ino looked at the paper and confusion clearly showed on her face, the man gave her a goofy smile.

"Sorry if I freaked ya out, I tend to do that to people. It's just that, the lady in this picture, she's my wife," the man held the picture in Ino's face. It was of a man and a woman smiling, they seemed to be at a small, outdoor restaurant.

"Who's the guy?" Ino asked, pointing to the guy in the picture.

"Oh, that's me," the man answered and Ino raised an eyebrow. The man gave a small laugh.

"Yea, I know, this was on our first date, I used to look so charming back then, but she hasn't changed," he pulled back the picture and looked at it lovingly.

"Well, anyway, it's our nine year anniversary today and I completely forgot, so she's really mad at me. She wrote the name of her favourite flower on the back, and I figured if I bought them and used them to help me apologize she would forgive me, she doesn't even know I have this picture," he smiled again.

"Anyway, I have the name of her favourite flowers, but I don't know what they are, heh, stupid, huh? Umm, maybe you could help me?" He handed Ino the picture.

"Oh," she replied, "chrysanthemum, we have a lot of those, what's her favourite colour?"

"White," the man answered.

"All right, come here and I'll show you some flowers she should like…"

*************************************************************

Saturday afternoon at exactly 3 o'clock Ino showed up at Itachi's door with her hair pulled back in two low pigtails and wearing a purple long sleeve shirt with long black pants and white fur boots while covering herself with a long lilac coat with white fur on the hem, collar, and the ends of the sleeves. Itachi answered the door in a black trench coat that covered his black long sleeve shirt and long black jeans with cargo boots. His hair was pulled back into a low ponytail and in his hands bared two pairs of ice skates.

"Let's go," he said, stepping outside his door and locking it. "You're a size 7, right?" Itachi asked, handing Ino a small pair of ice skates.

"Yea… Itachi, where are we going? Konoha doesn't have an ice skating rink."

"I know, we're going to the forest behind the apartment building," Itachi said, heading down the stairs.

"What?! Why the hell are we going there?"

""You'll see," Itachi answered. "You'll see."

Itachi led Ino through a thick, snow covered forest for 15 minutes before they happened upon their reason for being out there.

"Understand now?" Itachi asked. Ino nodded in amazement at the sight before her.

There was a small dock that lead into a large lake that was completely frozen. Now the forest really looked like a Winter Wonderland. The ground littered with several inches of pure white snow while the trees were filled and covered in it, and now the large frozen lake.

"Wow… Is it safe?"

"Very much so. Come on, let's go to the dock and see if your skates fit properly," Itachi answered, leading Ino over to the dock and brushing some snow off at the end of it for the both of them to sit. With a small bit of difficulty, they managed to take off their shoes and put on the ice skates, lacing them up tight enough so they wouldn't fall off.

"All right," Itachi said and stood up on his skates, "ready to go?"

"Ha-ha, very funny," Ino answered sarcastically.

"Have you even done this before?" she asked him and Itachi frowned.

"Yes, now stand up," Itachi instructed.

"No way, I'll fall on my ass."

"Then hold my hand," he instructed and held out his hand.

Ino stared at him for a few seconds then gave up.

"All right, just don't let go," she surrendered. She grabbed his hand and Itachi pulled her up.

After giving Ino a few seconds to gain her balance, he pulled her slowly along the ring of the frozen lake, showing her how to move in the skates enough to get around. After a few laps she managed to get the hang of it and was soon enough skating around freely.

They skated around on the frozen lake for almost an hour, trying tricks and such. Itachi laughed at Ino several times for falling on her ass and she would usually get up and chase him, but would give up because she would simply fall on her ass again. Eventually they took off their skates, put back on their shoes, and ended up wandering the forest for no apparent reason. After around 10 minutes of wandering in silence, Ino spoke.

"You know," she started, "you never told me a thing about yourself," she said staring at a tree that looked overloaded with snow.

"And?" Itachi asked.

"So…" Ino said, "don't I need to know?"

Itachi suddenly pinned Ino to a nearby tree and kissed her roughly. Ino wrapped her arms around his neck and the kiss continued passionately for a few seconds until Itachi parted their lips and whispered.

"I decide what you need to know, not you."

Itachi continued the kiss from where they'd left off, wrapping his arms around her waist. They continued for well over a minute before Itachi started to remove Ino's coat, which she barely noticed. Soon enough Itachi had slipped Ino's coat low onto her arms and was kissing and nibbling down her neck. She moaned and gripped Itachi's shoulders weakly.

"Itachi," she sighed, "I think we should go back to your apartment to do this…" she said weakly and Itachi kissed her again. He parted from her lips but kept his face still only a breath away from hers.

"Why should we do that?" he whispered in a sensual voice.

"Well…" she said, trying to come up with an excuse, "we could both get a pretty bad cold if we had sex on a bunch of snow."

Itachi smirked.

"Well," he said, "there's always a solution."

He pulled away from her and yanked her coat from her arms and slid his own coat off of himself and made a bed using both coats at the base of the tree on top of the snow.

He turned his attention back to Ino. He grabbed her by both arms and kissed her passionately for a few seconds before throwing her on the bed he had made. He kneeled between her legs and stripped himself of his shirt.

"Aren't you cold?" Ino asked Itachi innocently and Itachi smirked.

"Why don't you find out for yourself?"

He pulled Ino to sit up and gripped the hem of her shirt, ripping it off over her head and dropping it next to her. He unhooked her bra and pulled it off, laying her back down on their coats. Itachi bent down and began to lick and suck at Ino's breasts. She moaned softly and draped her right forearm across her eyes. Itachi began to move lower, kissing from her stomach to the top of her pants. He unbuttoned and unzipped them, then slid them off her legs along with her panties. He unbuttoned and unzipped his own pants. As Itachi released himself from his boxers he winced as the cold air hit the sensitive skin. He held the back of Ino's knees and pushed her legs up. He positioned himself at her entrance and quickly thrust in. Ino moaned loudly in pleasure.

"Oh God, Itachi…" she moaned repeatedly.

Itachi quickened his pace and groaned as he rapidly thrust into Ino. He let go of her legs and grabbed her waist, pulling her onto of his lap. He began moving her up and down on his cock as she wrapped her arms around his neck, muffling her pleasured cries into his neck. She began to move herself up and down to his rhythm, matching his pace. Their speed increased quickly and soon enough they both came, Itachi only groaning the word 'fuck' very loudly and Ino screaming into Itachi's neck. They collapsed onto their coats and Itachi pulled out of Ino. He rolled to her side and they laid there, catching their breath. Soon enough, Ino caught her breath and began to speak.

"I think we should go relax in your room," she said. Itachi nodded.

They sat up and Ino began dressing herself, taking a little while longer then Itachi considering the fact that he only lost a shirt. Once they were completely dressed, they gathered their forgotten ice skates and headed back to Itachi's apartment.

*************************************************************

(MARCH 20TH OVER ONE MONTH LATER)

Ino couldn't believe it! She and Itachi had been together for two months already! She couldn't help but wonder what they were going to do this month, they went out to dinner and then to the club they had gone to on their first date. That afternoon she laid in her bed, waiting for her boyfriend to call. Luckily, 15 minutes later she heard her phone ring and it was exactly the person she was waiting for.

"Hey baby," she said cheerfully into the phone.

"Hey, I want you to be here at 5:30 sharp, dress warm comfortably," Itachi said quickly.

"No problem," Ino replied.

"Gotta go, see you in a little while," he hung up.

"Ok, that was quick, but at least he called!" Ino said cheerfully.

Ino stood up and wandered to her closet to pick out something cute to wear. She finally decided on her black and white bleated mini-skirt with her light purple long sleeve shirt, ballerina-like black flats, and a white scarf. Since it wasn't too cold outside anymore she decided it was a safe outfit.

After picking out her outfit, Ino laid on her bed, daydreaming about what might happen today.

*************************************************************

Ino showed up 5:30 sharp at Itachi's door in the outfit she had picked earlier and her hair brushed out to fall on her back gracefully. She knocked and Itachi immediately opened the door. He was wearing a black t-shirt with a black jacket and black faded jeans with his cargo boots and on his arm he had draped a folded blanket.

"Let's go," he said, but before Itachi could step out of the doorway, Ino heard a strange sound, it sounded like… Someone moaning in Itachi's apartment!

"Itachi, who's in there?"

'What are you- Oh that. My brother's in there with his new boyfriend. They're about to have sex and I'd rather not see."

"Are you serious?"

"Very much so," Itachi stepped to the side so Ino could take a look.

Ino ducked her head inside and looked around. She soon came upon Sasuke lying on the couch with the hot read-headed bartender from the club between his legs.

"Oh God, fuck," he moaned again.

"I'm gone you two," Itachi yelled to them and the red head looked up. Ino cocked her head to the side.

"Hi Akito," Ino said to the red head.

"Hey there Ino, don't have to much fun out there, ya hear?" he said back to her.

"I was about to tell you the same thing," and with that, Ino ducked her head out the door and her and Itachi went off down the stairs.

"So," Ino asked, "where we goin'?"

"You'll see, just follow me," Itachi answered, and so she did.

A 15 minute walk and hike led them up the mountain of the Leaf Village. Itachi lead her around the mountain to a spot facing the forest and ocean outside the village. Itachi spread the blanket he had brought with him on the ground where it seemed to dip down like a shallow bowl. Ino and Itachi laid down and Ino turned her attention to her boyfriend.

"So, what happens now?"

"Just watch," Itachi told her.

"But what am I watching?"

"Look."

"At what?"

"Ino, look," Itachi grabbed Ino's chin and turned it towards the ocean. Above the water and the trees of the forest she saw curved glowing lights. Several different colours danced above the surface of the Earth and Ino gasped.

"It's… beautiful," she said in awe.

"The Equinox," Itachi said, watching the colours dance as well, "I wanted to see it, so I just brought you with me."

Ino turned to Itachi and kissed him and he kissed back. They kissed passionately for what seemed like forever to Ino, but ended quickly for Itachi as he rolled on top of her. Ino draped her arms around Itachi's neck as his hands caressed Ino's sides. Itachi pushed his hand up Ino's skirt and massaged her through her panties. Ino moaned into the kiss and Itachi's hand moved into her panties. He slipped two fingers inside of her. She broke the kiss and moaned loudly while Itachi began kissing from her jaw to her neck, using his free hand to remove her white scarf and expose more of her soft skin. He bit down on Ino's neck and sucked hard, making Ino gasp and moan again. When he released the skin it had been turned a dark shade of red. Itachi smirked at his work and removed his fingers from Ino, who let out a disappointed groan.

Itachi removed Ino's panties and spread her legs. He had positioned himself at her entrance and was about to trust in, but he was stopped by Ino's words.

"Please wait," Ino said through gasps.

Itachi looked at her and leaned forward, letting go of her legs.

"What is it?" Itachi asked.

Ino hesitated for a moment, but still managed to say it.

"I want to ride you," Itachi's breath caught in his throat for a moment, but he didn't let it show.

He kissed Ino passionately, letting his long, black hair veil their faces as their lips met. When they parted Itachi held on to Ino and rolled over, turning on to his back. He placed his hands behind his head and his face held a smug smirk.

"Go ahead," he said in a smug voice.

Ino straightened up and positioned herself above Itachi's cock. She placed both her hands on his lower stomach, balanced on her toes, and let herself down quickly, but gently, on to Itachi's cock. He groaned and she moaned loudly. After giving herself a few seconds to make sure she still had her balance she began moving herself up and down on Itachi's cock, at first slowly, but she gradually gained speed. Itachi had begun gripping his hair and the back of his head tightly while he groaned in pleasure. God, how he wanted to take hold oh Ino's hips and start slamming her on to his dick, but he decided he'd let her have control.

Ino managed to gain even more speed to the point where Itachi couldn't take it anymore. They both came and Ino covered her mouth as she screamed, God knows where it could echo into.

She got off of Itachi's dick and collapsed down next to him. They laid there for a minute to catch their breath, and Ino turned Itachi's face and kissed him gently. She smiled at him.

"This was an awesome anniversary."

"I would think so," Itachi replied, giving Ino a hard kiss. Then they just laid there, watching the colours dance before them until they finally faded away.

And just like that, Winter was over.
