Depression
I don't own Naruto. Masashi Kishimoto owns Naruto, and is a damn good authour of it!
Couples: InoShika, ShikaTem, some NaruSaku.
Takes place when everyone's about 16. And Let's just say Sasuke's out bitchin' up the world.
Note: On Wikipedia it says that Shikamaru and Ino are born a day apart, I dunno if it's true or not, but I'm gonna use it as that. No Complaints? Then start reading!
Chapter 3: Anorexia
3 months have passed after Shikamaru and Temari started dating. Both were more or less happy, and spend almost 24/7 together. Everyone was happy for them, except one blonde kunoichi.
"Hey Ino!" Sakura yelled out, as she walked into her friend's flower shop.
"Yo." Ino said, smiling. Her face was a scary pale, many bruises covered her arms and legs, her eyes were clouded and distant, she looked like she was a zombie.
"Oh My God." Sakura said, her eyes huge.
"Nani, Sakura?" Ino asked, arranging flowers.
"I need to talk to you. NOW. Met me in my office at the hospital." Sakura said, not taking her eyes off the mind-user.
"Talk to me here, Sakura." Ino said, sighing.
"Are you anorexic?" Sakura blurted out, after Ino closed the shop, and led Sakura to her room.
"NO! WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT, FOREHEAD?" Ino screamed, sitting down.
"You're very pale, severely bruised, exhausted easily, and yeah, defensive." Sakura said, her emerald eyes large and filled with worry.
"..." The accused anorexic didn't say a thing, and just stared out her window.
"Listen, Ino." Sakura started, sighing. "I know what this is about. I know what you're going through, and just get over it. Don't kill yourself over a guy."
"Like hell you know what I'm going through!" Ino screamed, glaring at the pinkette.
"Damn, I do Ino. You're depressed because the guy you love isn't with you. You feel empty without him. You want him to be yours, not someone else's." A tear slid down Sakura's cheek.
"This isn't about some crappy crush you had on Sasuke-kun. I ACTUALLY LOVE SHIKAMARU! UGH!" Ino screamed.
"INO!" Sakura said, glaring. "Shut up, and calm the fuck down. Get a grip, girl! Just go to Shikamaru and tell him you love him before you kill yourself. And another thing, I loved Sasuke. I know what heartbreak feels like. I practically killed myself for him. I know that there are people who care for you, and that you should listen to them."
"UGH!" Ino screamed again, and threw a pillow at the window.
"Shi..ka..ma..ru. Why can't you just love me?" Ino whispered, and cried. All the tears she held when she saw him and Temari, all those words she wanted to say to him, came tumbling out as she muttered to herself, head buried in her pillow.
"Shika." She muttered, and fell over, unconcious.
"Ino, dinner time!" Her mother called, walking to her daughter's room.
"Wake up, Ino. Ino. INO?" Her mother said, shaking the girl.
"Damn. INOICHI!"
"Yes dear?" Inoichi said, running towards his wife's voice.
"Ino.. is..." The lady stuttered, crying.
"Get her to a hospitral. Now!" The mind-user screamed, picking up Ino, and running towards the hospital.
-LINEBREAK-
My first InoShikaTem story, so this is the third chapter of about 5. Please Review! This is a highly emotional chapter, but the others will probably be a lighter.
Ja!
