Ino & Shikamaru were caught in each other gazes until the door slammed open. They turned their heads quickly to see who it was.

"Oh… sorry… Didn't mean to intrude up here!"

It was a mysterious student with very pale skin... He had black hair and the same dark eyes Sasuke had. He was slim, but tall. He was holding a sketch pad in his hands. Ino & Shikamaru had never seen him before. He gave them a smile.

"Oh no it ok…." Ino spoke quietly wiping the tears from her eyes.

"Oh alright then, "he said. He walked to the other side of the school roof and started sketching.

Ino then realized that she was looking straight into Shikamaru's eyes before the door opened. She started to feel a blush forming. She then decided that she just needs to spend some time alone and think about everything.

"I think you should go back to class Shikamaru before people start getting any wrong ideas…. I'll just hang up here for awhile."

"But Ino… " Shikamaru said. He was worried. He didn't just want to leave her alone, but she could tell Ino wanted to just clear her head…

"Shikamaru, you would want to mess up your perfect scores in class because of me…. Now go…" she said in a louder demanding voice, but she kinda gave him a sweet, sad smile. He started heading for the door, but stop at the door.

"Ino… I'll see you later." He stared at her with a worried face, and waved at her. She just gave him another small smile and waved back.


Ino then just walked to the end of the school top and just leaned on the fence. She stared at the clouds for awhile. She started thinking about Sakura and Sasuke. How happy Sakura must be with Sasuke. Sasuke was perfect. He was incredibly handsome, smart, athletic, and in the end he was very caring towards his friends. Even though Ino was never really one of his friends, Sakura would tell her that he was a very caring friend. That he would look out for Naruto's dumbass at times, and well with her… He could be quiet with Sakura at times, but he was also there for her we she had a trouble or just when she felt sad. He knew when she wasn't herself. He was there when she needed someone the most.

As she thought about the Sakura's & Sasuke's relationship, that instantly reminded her of Shikamaru. She started thinking about all the times Shikamaru was there when she needed someone. Everytime she felt out of place Shikamaru knew. He would always be there for her especially when she needed someone the most. He also look out for Choji, aswell. "That Shikmaru. He really those know when something not right." Ino thought to herself with a bit of a smile.

But at that moment her thoughts were interrupted by the mysterious student from earlier. He spoke to her in a gentle tone.

"Um… Hello umm... lovely lady." This comment made Ino blush instantly. She fixed her eyes on him.

"If you don't mind me asking, are you ok? You been lost in thought for quite awhile, and well you seem like you were crying when I came in," the guy spoke softly with a smile in his face. "Did that guy you were with reject you or something?"

This made Ino face flush completely. She had to explain everything to this guy. She didn't want to be thought of a girl who was rejected by her childhood friend.

"No! No... You have it all wrong! I didn't get rejected by anyone… Well not by him.. I don't like Shikamaru that way…"

"Oh so this Shikamaru is just a friend who came to comfort you."

"Well… I guess... He is a really nice guy even though he completely lazy, but anyways… I wasn't crying cause of him. I don't think he'll ever make me cry..." She smiled at that comment she made.

"Oh I see why were you crying then?" Sai asked. He then leaned against the fence with her. He looked at her and smiled. She blushed a bit.

"Umm… Well I got my heartbroken by my lifelong crush. My best friend and I both liked him ever since we we're little girls. And well we became rivals even though we are still best friends… Well she won, and I'm heartbroken."

The guy just looked at her. He listen to what she said. Then he thought about a response.

"Well maybe there's a good reason why he choose her and not you. I mean who was closer to him?"

It kinda hurt Ino to say this…

"Well she was… I was just a mere fangirl in his eyes. I always wanted to get close to him but it was impossible." Ino started tearing up. "Sakura, Naruto, & Sasuke have always been relatively close which gave her the upper hand. Sasuke started to let her get close to him even though at first he would just ignore her. They actually grew strong feeling towards each other together…"

The guy soften his eyes at her sad face… He felt bad for her.

"Well I guess it couldn't be helped. He chose her because they actually spend time together. They trusted each other and well the feelings just developed. You loved him because of the exterior while Sakura started to actually for him for who he really is. You loved him for who you think he is, and what he appears to be."

That hit Ino. That made her realize how foolish she's been to carry out this crush. She knew what this mysterious guy spoke was the truth she didn't want to admit.

'But I love Sasuke-kun… I really do…" She spoke softly with a trace of sadness. She was looking down to the floor.

"Well maybe you think that now… but you'll find someone for you later. It's a surprise to most. Even to Sakura & Sasuke. Sakura probably thought she would never be with him, but look at them now. Don't worry you'll find someone to heal your heart." He smiled at her and she smiled back. This really spoke to Ino… She felt a bit better.

"Yeah your right! You're a pretty cool and nice guy. And oh my god… I haven't even asked you for your name!"

"Thanks. Oh it ok... Anyways I just came to speak to you out of the blue. Well I'm Sai." He smiled at her.
"Sai? Ok. Well I'm Ino. Nice to meet you." She gave him a smile back.

"Nice to meet you, too, beautiful."

She blushed at his comment too. Guys were never this gentleman like. Realizing that she's been up in the roof for quite awhile, she looked at the time in her phone.

"OH MY GOD! It's almost 2nd period! I didn't think I been up here that long…"

"I should be going as well… I already skipped homeroom and 1st period on my first day of school…"

"Oh no wonder I never seen you! Well what class do you have? I'll take you to your class!"

"Well I have Mr. Hatake for history."

"Really? Me too! Let's go together!"

Sai notice how cheerful & loud Ino was. He couldn't help to feel abit happy himself. Usually he just fakes his smiles, but he actually felt like smiling at this moment. This girl was a bit interesting to him.

"Well Sai-kun let's go!"
