"I'm going out!" Ino yelled to let her parents know that she was taking her break to walk around town.

Sai was expressionless, just walking around to clear his mind, and go wherever his feet took him. He wondered close to a beautiful flower shop that resembled something or someone, but couldn't think and was off walking more.

"Hey, Sai!" Ino waved her hands up high and ran to the expressionless guy that she knew would change.

"Oh, Ino. Hi," Sai said in his normal tone, smiling as best he could, still walking along with the girl right beside him.

"Do you mind me tagging along?" Ino asked cheerfully, already doing so before he could reply.

"No, I guess. I never had anyone ask that, so it's a surprise, I guess," Sai explained, feeling something strange burning inside him.

"I was just taking a break from the flower shop to walk around and relax," Ino explained, smelling the nice, clean air.

"You mean that flower shop I just passed?" Sai questioned, surprised at the coincidence.

"Yes, that's the one! I love flowers. They are so beautiful," Ino said, walking past a couple of girls she knew.

"Hey, Ino!" Tenten yelled, waving at her as the group ran to her, stopping when they saw Sai.

"Why are you with Sai? He's just a jerk that will mess with you. There's no way you'll ever get along with him, so don't even bother," Sakura muttered with a shrug.

"Um..., hi Ino. It's nice to see you," Hinata greeted shyly.

Sai didn't say anything since he knew something like this might happen, except with, Ino this strange energetic yet fun girl. He felt sad that she would probably take her friends over him, but got over it quickly as he realized that Sakura grabbed Ino's arm and was pulling her hard to the girls side, but failed when Ino resisted.

"Enough! Have you even tried to get along with Sai? I doubt you have but I have, and realized that he's not like how you and everyone else describe him. He's just misunderstood. I'm going with him today," Ino replied, sticking her tongue out at the pink haired girl and took Sai's hand, running away until she couldn't see Sakura and the two other girls behind. Sai ran along with Ino with a somewhat surprised expression from hearing what Ino had said about him to her friends.

"Ino," Sai whispered to where Ino could barely hear him.

"What?" Ino questioned, turning her head with a smile on her face, wondering what he wanted to tell her.

"Thank you. No one has ever done that for me. It makes me feel… I don't know, strange? It's something I haven't felt in a while since I met you," Sai explained in a low tone.

"No problem. I mean, that's what friends are for. Some of my friends just haven't even tried to know you like I have, that's why. But I'm happy. Oh, I should probably get back to the shop," Ino said.

"I'll walk you back," Sai said, still holding her hand from before.

"You don't have to do that. It's not far," Ino said, pointing to the nearby flower shop.

"I want to," Sai said, walking her to her door, and in a sudden action, he found himself embracing the beautiful blonde that he was getting to know more and more. He also felt more every time he's with her. Ino was too surprised, with a dumbfounded look on her face, to even hug back, even though she wanted to.

'What's he doing? I want to hug back, but I'm frozen from surprise. Sai…,' Ino thought in silence with a blush covering her face. Before she knew it though, Sai had regained his senses and slowly pushed her away and ran off in a unknown direction to where he was going with a weird feeling he only got when he was with Ino. For some reason every time he got away from talking to Ino he was all red he always thought he was just getting sick having a fever but that wasn't the case.
