Ino had always pictured her first kiss to be like those from a storybook.
She had learned that kisses tasted sweet and made your knees go weak. She had seen people kiss before and knew it was supposed to be a passionate and fierce battle of tongues with lots of moaning and wet noises. The girl's hands would be crossed behind the boy's neck and the boy's arms would wrap around the girls slender waste, their bodies pressing together gently. The warm and soft lips would move against each other in perfect harmony. They would disappear in their own world where nothing existed but their love. When they pulled of each other their eyes would show certainty and power of their love that stood strong and solid like a mountain.
That was what Ino had thought her first kiss to be like, too. But it was way off the road, starting from the fact that her kissing partner was a girl.
Sakura's lips weren't soft at all. They were rough and tasted slightly of blood, making Ino think of the way Sakura bit her lip when she was annoyed or nervous. Ino's hand resting on Sakura's hips felt the other girl tense like she would be afraid. Ino wasn't certain of anything. She was afraid too. Her heart was racing inside her chest and her hands would have shaken if they weren't supported by soft flesh. Their lips didn't move in harmony, they were merely gently pressed against each other, Ino touching Sakura's lower lip lightly with her tongue. The pinked haired girl didn't dare to move, too shocked about the situation to react.
When they pulled apart and looked each other in the eyes Ino saw Sakura holding back tears back tears desperately. Her fast beating heart suddenly stilled and sank to the bottom of her stomach and she felt like crying herself.
That was when Sakura wrapped her arms around the other girl's neck and buried her face into Ino's blond hair.
"Thank you," she whispered, "thank you so much."
A when Ino returned the hug she decided it much better first kiss one than any of those in the romance stories, and she was happier than ever.
