Last Time:
Ino-chan. Are you okay?" she asked concerned. "Yeah." I lied. "Ino-chan, I think I need to go now. Cause Naruto and I have a date." she said. "Okay. Bye. Enjoy." I said as I smile at her.
Chapter 3
I am walking down in the street, thinking as always.. I never realized that I bumped to Sai. Sai care for me a lot. Even though I dumped him. He's still there for me. "What's wrong?" he asked me worried. "Nothing." I bluffed. "I can say you have a problem. Don't lie to me, I know you. Tell me what's your problem. Please." he said. We walk together. Before, when he was courting me we're always at the training ground. "Okay, I am going to tell you. Go with me to training ground." I told him. "Okay" he said with smile.
They're in the training ground, sitting. "So, what really happened?" he questioned. "We broke up." I said my tears is starting to stream in my face. "Why?, how?" he asked. "Cause he never loved me." I said. He hugged me. I never knew that Sasuke's behind us 350 meters away with Naruto hiding in the bushes. "What the hell?" Sasuke said to Naruto. "What do you mean, what the hell?" Naruto said to Sasuke. "We just broke up." Sasuke said to him. "That's the point, teme, you two BROKE up!" Naruto said. "It's your fault. You're too numb. Why don't you open up to her and tell her that you love her. She thought that you never loved her." Naruto continued.
"Thank you, Sai." I said. "You're always welcome, Ino." Sai said. "You want me to walk you home?" Sai continue. "No thanks. It's fine. Comforting me is just enough." I said him with a smile. "Ino, go straight home. It's already past 10 in night. And remember I am always here for you." Sai said. "Thanks for always being there for me. Thanks for the care." I said gave him a small smile.
We walk opposite direction. I saw Naruto. "Hi Naruto." I said. "Hello Ino-chan, what's up?" he said. "Nothing new." I said. "Where's Sai?" he asked? "Wait, why in hell you know that I am with Sai?" Ino shot back with how-come-you-know-that glare. "Uhm. I... I... Never mind." Naruto said with sweat drops. "What are you doing here by the way?" I asked. "I just wanna walk around cause Hinata wasn't here yet. She's on a mission. She left early morning today." Naruto said sadly. "Ohh.." I said. "Wait.. Is that true that Sasuke and you broke up?!" he asked. "Yeah. Did Hinata told you?" I questioned him. "No. Actually Sasuke told me." he said. "Are you sure to your decision to broke him up?" he asked me seriously. "Actually I am not 100 percent sure cause I still do love him." I said. "Is there any possibilities that you to become together again?" he said. "I don't know. Wait. Why the hell you're asking me personal things. Why don't you ask Sasuke. He's your best friend, right?" I said. " that's a good idea." he said. "I need to go now. Bye, Naruto, good night!" I said. "Bye, Ino-chan, good night!"
"Days. Weeks. Months had passed. I can't moved on. In that time passed I still loved him. I am always pretending that I already moved on. I actually focusing to my duties a lot to forget him. But he's always in my mind. If we saw each other I just ignored him. I can't even look at his eyes directly. How come I can't move on. How come he's in everywhere. Even in my dreams. I really hate it. I always pray to God that I wish I never loved him. We broke up 6 months, 2 weeks and 4 days ago. I must forget him. That's long time enough to forget someone like him. Someone that never loves me. I am an idiot to love him so much. To hoped that someone like Uchiha Sasuke will love me. Am I that bad to deserve to be hurt?" Ino said to herself.
Someone knocked on my door. "Wait. I am coming!" I said going towards the door. "Who is it anyways?" I continued. "It's me. Ino-pig, hurry up!" Sakura said. Ino opened the door. "What you want forehead?" take note we're already 22 but Sakura and I were always teasing each other like kids. Onto conversation. "Hokage-sama wants you to be there. Hurry up. She doesn't want us to be late." Sakura said. " okay. Just sit down for awhile, while I am changing. I'll be finish in 3 minutes." I said. " okay, just hurry up." Sakura said. After I changed my clothes we head on Hokage's tower.
In the Hokage's tower. Naruto, Hinata, Sai and Sasuke standing. "Ino you have a mission with 'em. All of you will go to Rock country to investigate. The Feudal Lord just changed for no reason. The Feudal Lord before was very kind. But now, the Feudal Lord was very mean especially to the villagers. You're mission was to know what the reason. Don't think this mission is easy this is A-class mission. The fate of Rock's villagers is in your hands." Tsunade-sama said seriously. "But Tsunade-sama. I don't wanna accept this mission." I objected. "you need to go. Please, Ino. We need your abilities to know what was the reason(s) why the hell the Feudal Lord become evil. And I thought you already moved on."
