Author Notes: YAY! I made it to Chapter 4, this is a big accomplishment for me I really didn't think my writing was all that great but I can tell that it is getting better and better. Anyway for those of you reading Enjoy!

Sakura's POV

I headed towards the back room, I looked down at the floor specifically at the spots of blood that Ino had left behind. I wonder how she felt about me, she was blushing when she fell on me, or was it just because she had fallen. Well as soon as we start eating I'll try to find out. I got into the back room and instead of being in a hurry like Ino, I searched for a ladder or at least a step stool. After about five minutes of searching I found a step stool. I got the plates down and headed back to where Ino was sitting.

"What took you so long?" Ino asked in a slight upset manner.

"I took the time to look for something to stand on so that I would not have an accident like some people that I know" I smirked at her.

Ino let out a chuckle, I'm glad she was not like she used to be when we were still rivaling with each other. Otherwise she would have had some kind of rude or annoying comeback waiting for me. I started taking out the plates from the box and gave one to Ino and set one for me, then I handed her a pair of chopsticks. I sat down in the chair opposite of Ino and gave a little smile.

"What?" Ino asked.

"Oh nothing...I was just thinking" It was the truth, I was just thinking. I'm just glad she did not go any deeper because of what I was thinking about. I did not want her to find out that way, although it would not be to bad I picture it going a little bit differently.

"What would you like to eat?" I asked Ino, whom still seemed like she was dazed or even embarassed at what just occurred a few minutes ago.

"Ummmm...It does not really matter to me" She said.

"Ok how about some of these BBQ Ribs, they look like they are pretty good."

"Sakura?"

"Yeah, what is it?"

"I need to talk to you later alright?"

My mind went crazy when she said that, did she know how I felt? I guess I will wait until later to talk to her. For now I guess I better just leave things be, and I was hoping that this would be the perfect time. We are both sitting here enjoying each others company.

"May I ask what about?" I wanted to test to see if she would give me a little bit of information so that I could prepare myself for what could lie ahead.

"I had talked to Asuma about something and I'm going to take his advice." came the reply

"Alright, well we will eat first then we can talk" I gave her another smile, deep down there was something that was bothering me. What could she have talked to Asuma about. I already had the weird feeling that he knew something from earlier. I definitely was not going to tell Ino how I felt until I found out what it was that she wanted to talk about. It stayed pretty silent while we were eating. There was very little small talk, I was distracted by the conversation that I knew was coming up and I was sure that it was also bothering Ino...Whatever she has to say thought I will tell her how I feel. That was my promise to myself and I was going to keep it. I finshed eating and patted my lips with my napkin to get all of the BBQ sauce off of them, and I swear that out of the corner of my eye I saw Ino blushing. I stayed sitting until Ino had finished eating as well. I got up and got her plate and took it to the kitchen in the back. I kind of giggled when I got to the sink with the dishes, could it be? I thought. No way it would be to good to be true. I put the dishes down and headed back for the other room. Ino had moved herself from the table to the little couch they had.

"Sakura..." she said.

"What is it Ino?" I replied as I came out of the doorway

"Can you please come here?" She motioned with her hand to sit down on the couch. "I would like to talk to you now."

I headed towards the couch and sat down next to Ino. She looked kind of pale when I actually got up close to her. I put my arm around her, "Whatever it is that you need to tell me, go ahead you know that you can tell me anything." I gave her a smile. I got a faint smile back from her.

To Be Continued...

HAHA I knew you would be dreading those words! Anyway I want the next part to go just right and I haven't decided whose POV to use (Probably Ino's) so yes I left you at a cliffhanger but hey it will get you to read the last chapter!
