Prearranged-Chapter 2
Two girls walked along the snow-laced streets of Konoha. It was September. It rarely snowed in konoha, but when it does the citizens welcome it with open arms. The first girl was cheery. Her long blonde hair was loose, and her long black jacket clung to her body. The other watched the cheery girl with worried emerald eyes. Her short cherry blossom colored hair was tied into two pigtails, each hanging lowly from the sides of her head. Her somewhat puffy green jacket was half zipped up.
The cheery one continued humming, only increasing the others worried stare. Somehow this did not worry the blonde.
"What's wrong Ino?"Sakura finally spoke up. She was worried about the blonde. First she had arrived late to their shopping trip. Ino was never late, especially not for shopping. Secondly she was humming. This may not seem like much, but Sakura knew the bubbly blonde way better than most.
"What do you mean Sakura?"Ino looked back at her friend. Her purple scarf had swung around somewhat.
"Ino….you're humming…"Sakura looked blankly back at her. If Ino wanted to sing-She sung. Ino only hummed when she was hiding something or doing something she hates. She always hummed when she was helping Shikamaru clean his room and how could anyone forget the famous 'I haven't seen TenTen. Sorry Gai-Sensei…maybe she's sick…'.Ino hummed that whole time before and after she helped TenTen fit herself into that trashcan. It only made it more suspicious when ino hung around the trashcan humming.
Ino froze. She hadn't noticed she was humming."Oh, nothing Sakura.I'm fine…Where's that store with the green dress? Wasn't it called Shadows?"
Sakura's eyebrow rose in suspicion."Yea.It was" Ino was almost never forgetful.
"Thank you! Please come again."The brown-haired store clerk smiled happily at the two retreating forms. Ino giggled. She had hummed the whole way to the store. Sakura looked at the bag on Ino's arm that read sHAD0Ws and had the silhouette of a girl on the side.
"I can't believe they didn't have that dress anymore…"Ino sighed."This black top is cute too though, right?"
Sakura smiled weakly."Yeah…um, Ino?"
"Yeah?"
"What was wrong with you ino?"
"Huh?"
Sakura kicked a rock as they passed the ramen stand."Why were you humming?"
"I guess I got bored" A dusty shade of pink hinted in the girl's cheeks as she stuck out her tongue some. She patted the hair on the back of her head down. Sakura stared. She was MUCH smarter than that. Ino, of course, noticed."I don't know….I guess I've just been a little stressed. Y'know…between missions, Shika, Choji, training, dad, chores, Sasuke, you, and jus-"
"Who's Sasuke?"Sakura asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Sasuke? He's that-"Ino covered her mouth quickly. She forgot all about that. She wasn't supposed to tell about him. Ino did hate her so called big mouth sometimes."I had a dream about a guy named Sasuke…"Ino stated and began humming.
"Really Ino…?"Sakura smiled a fox-like smile. She had been hanging around naruto way too long."….You sure he's not your boyfriend you couldn't tell your best friend about?!"Sakura giggled.
"WHAT!?! NO!"Ino shouted. She received many strange looks from the other people who had been roaming the streets of Konoha.The dusty pink shade returned to her high cheekbones."I mean…no" She had quieted her voice.Sakura laughed but that didn't mean she still didn't have her suspicions."Where are we going anyway?"
"….I'm not sure…The sun's starting to set though."Sakura said raising her face to the sky. The white flaky crystals were still falling and it looked a little strange since the clouds were not covering the now-setting sun.Sakura held her tongue out as she closed her eyes. One of the flaky crystals fell onto her tongue.
"Sakura, are you eating the snow?"Ino laughed."You don't have to starve yourself! You're already pretty skinny!"
Sakura lowered her head and laughed."You're skinnier than me! Shut up!"Sakura said throwing a punch to Ino's arm. Ino avoided the swing and laughed."Do you want a bowl of ramen? I'm kind of hungry myself…."
"Sure!"Ino laughed."C'mon, the ramen stand's way back there!"Ino pointed back up the path.
Sakura and Ino turned around and walked back to the ramen stand. Ino held onto her sHAWD0Ws bag as they walked briskly back to the ramen stand. They re-passed a couple of stores, some of which Ino mentally marked to return to later on.Sakura watched Ino again. She was humming. 'There's something else'Sakura thought a little worriedly. She laughed inwardly. 'what if this Sasuke guy is her boyfriend?…I guess ino can have her own secrets…I mean I have mine…'Sakura frowned as a snowflake fell onto the middle of her forehead.'…and they're probably way worse than anything ino could have done….'
