This Prayer For You

The day has come to take Ino back home. The ride home was silent, only the breeze that came in through the half open window made noise. No one spoke.

"Ino if you want i can make us some lunch." Sasuke said.

"..."

"Okay then, I take that as a yes." Sasuke gave her a small smile as he left the room.

Sasuke checked the almost empty fridge, "Oh yeah, no food." He muttered. He closed the fridge door and walked back upstairs to where Ino was. "Ino i'll be right back Im going to go buy food."

"Bye" Ino whispered as he left. After a while at just staring at the door, spaced out there was a knock on the door. Ino just sat on the bed slightly leaning on wall quietly. Slowly bringing up her knees to her chest as the person at the door knocked again. The truth is, is that Ino is terrified by Sasuke ever since she had to go to the hospital and nearly died, and she still has the healing cuts, stitches, bruises, and broken arm. For the first time in her life time, Ino thought she was useless. She hated herself. No Point, no point in living from her point of view. Nothing. Nothing in this world.

Then she heard the door open. It was Sakura. Sakura has the key to their home just like Ino has the key to her home, but she knocks so she doesnt interrupt anyone or anything.

Then Ino heard someone call out, "Ino? Are you home?"

Sakura went upstairs to the shared bedroom and found Ino frightenned on the bed. Sakura saw how Ino Just sat there with her knees pulled to her chest with her head turned to look at her. Ino's eyes were a bit wider than regular and her breathing has gotten heavier.

"Ino?" Sakura asked, stepping a couple steps at a time slowly. Once Sakura was close to Ino, she reached out to touch Ino's arm, but noticed that Ino stiffened when Sakura was close to touch her so she pulled back and sat on the bed.

"Ino," Sakura said and then continued, " Sasuke told me to watch over you while he's gone, but I wanted to come to see you anyways." She finished with a smile.

Sakura and Ino had a little conversation, with Ino barely saying or answering anything. "Ino, are you okay?" Sakura asked as she noticed how Ino all of a sudden just stared off into space.

"Ino." Sakura said a little bit louder, snapping Ino back into reality. Ino looked at the pink haired girl.

"Ino, are you feeling well?" Sakura asked again.

"S-S-..." Ino hesitated quietly and unfinished with her sentence.

"Yes? I can't hear you."

"S- Shikamaru..." Ino said.

"What about Shikamaru? Like How is He? Well he's fine, I-" Ino interrupted her.

"No.." Ino continued, "I want to see him..." Ino said pleading.

"Hmm... Well let's give him a call... But hey, maybe we and I mean Naruto, you, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Chouji, and I can all go to a restuarant someday and - "

"No... Only him..." she continued, "I only want to see him..."

"Oh and why's that?" Sakura asked.

It took a long time for Ino to say something but after waiting she finally spoke, "Because he's my only friend..." This shocked Sakura... What Did Ino Mean By , He's My only Friend...? Did Ino remember anyone at all except for Shikamaru? Is that why Ino was afraid of Sakura when she first arrived, and worst what about Sasuke? He's her husband.

"Oh Ino that's not true... You've got Me, Sakura," as she said that she pointed at herself and then continued, " Naruto, Chouji, Hinata, Neji, Tenten, Sasuke, Temari, Gaara, Rock Lee, Kankuro and others.. Not just Shikamaru."

After that Ino was quiet and confused. She was thinking, really hard. 'Where am i? Who's home is this? Who was that man that left me here alone? Where's my mother, my father?' After a while Sakura excused herself and went downstairs to call someone from the house phone. After a while Sakura hurries to Ino.

"Hey Ino, guess who's coming." Sakura said with a big smile. Ino just looked up at her waiting a for a responce.

"Shikamaru!" Sakura yelled playfully. Ino had a small smile on her face.

After a couple minutes there was a knock at the door.

"I'm going to go get that." and with that she left Ino in the room.

Once she opened the door she greeted Shikamaru, " Hello Shikamaru, Ino is upstairs. Oh and tell her im going to go now and ill call Sasuke to give you guys some time okay? Oh and one more thing, be gentle with her, she's very fragile right now."

Shikamary gave her a nod and went upstairs as Sakura gave Sasuke a call and told him to give Ino and Shikamaru some time, so they can talk. And after that Sakura left.

~Shikamaru's Point Of View~

I Walked in and saw her. She looked so... broken. Stitches on her left eyebrow. Her dress looking a little big on her, hanging loose. She must of lost weight being in the hospital and all. I mean she was really slim before but now she is bone-y. Truth is i never visited her in the hospital because i couldnt even think of her in pain, not even hurt.

She still looks like the model I always thought she looked like. Beautiful, amazing, gold-hearted. Simply beautiful. I mean I've been inlove with her since we were 15, but then she stated going out with Sai and Temari asked me out close to the same time. Im still with Temari, surprisingly, but Sai broke Ino in half and that's when Sasuke came into the picture. He took her away from me. Ino stopped coming to me for help. I kinda dislike Sasuke for that, he knew how much Ino meant to me. When Sasuke proposed to her infront of everyone I left right away and made up a stupid escuse to leave. I can tell Ino begged Sasuke to be one of them to be standing next to him when he got married to her. I almost didn't go to their wedding because i knew once they said their 'I do's' and kissed, it broke my heart. After a year of their marriage, I found out that Sasuke as hit her not once but twice. This got me furious. Sasuke and I got in a fight because of that. The guys heald us both back while the girls comforted Ino. I never did get over Ino, soon Temari found out and we talked things out, we're still together though.

"Hello Ino." I said as i walked up to her and sat on the bed.

"Shikamaru.." Ino said as he hugged Shikamaru tightly. After a while they let go.

"Ino, I'm sorry i didn't visit you at the hospital," Shikamaru continued, "I couldn't stand seeing you like this. I missed you though."

Ino gave him a slight nod as she settled on the bed sitting in a criss-cross applesauce/Indian style form. But from the form she was sitting in made her loose dress reveal half her thighs. Shikamaru blushed at this.

"I understand." Ino said in a low tone.

"Temari and I just go engaged." Shikamaru said while giving Ino a lazy smile.

Ino's brain slowly processed who Temari was, and Ino was shocked, sad, and happy at the same time, "Finally, you lazy-ass!" Ino said in a cheery tone.

It was the third time Ino smiled that day.

After for about a minute of silence Shikamaru finally said, "You know, sometimes I envy Sasuke."

Ino wanted to say 'Who?' but then Shikamaru spoke again, "For stealing a beautiful woman away from me."

Ino was completely confused, until he continued, "He doesn't deserve you, Ino. I love you."

"Shikamaru, don't be blind. Who would want to be with a dirty, ugly, messed up, stitched girl?" Ino said with a bit of pain in her voice.

"Don't be silly Ino, you're perfect. In everyway."

Then, Shikamaru slowly reached her for a passionate kiss. As their lips connected. Ino didn't kiss back but Shikamaru still did anyways. But, slowly Ino's brain started to remember everything. Her marriage, Sasuke yelling and hitting her, Sakura being like a sister to her, Sai breaking her heart into pieces, her baby dieing, her dad's dead, everything. Ino wanted to cry but held it all in as she slowly closed her eyes and started kissing back. Slowly wrapping her arms around his neck as he put one hand on her hip and the other one on her thigh. AS they deepened their kiss Sasuke arrived. Sasuke opened the door to their home and quietly closed the door. He set the food on the kitching counter, and quietly came up to their bedroom to find Shikamaru and Ino making out. Right away Sasuke lost his temper as he pulled Shikamaru off of Ino and shoved him towards the wall.

"Oh so now you care about Ino, you only feel sorry for her." Shikamary said.

"Fuck you." Sasuke hissed as he punched Shikamaru in the face.

"Sasuke, stop!" Ino screamed as tears threatened to come out as she got up slowly, still sore from the accident. Ino tried pulling Sasuke away from Shikamaru as anger blinded Sasuke and pushed Ino hard that she fell on the ground. Pain filled her eyes as she looked at Sasuke in horror. She started to cry and sob on the ground. Hair falling covering her face.

"Is that all you like to do, Sasuke? Hit girls?" Shikamaru yelled as he punch Sasuke on the jawl. Sasuke held on to his jawl as he kept spitting out blood.

Shikamaru grabbed Ino and said, " Come on Ino. We have to go."

When Shikamaru was half way down the stairs the doorbell rang, so he hurried. Sasuke started following after.

When Shikamaru opened the door Naruto was confused.

"Why are you holding Ino and where are you going?" Naruto asked.

"Naruto move." Shikamaru said. But then Sasuke made Shikamaru fall backwards along with Ino.

Naruto hurried and dialed Sakura number, once she answered he said, "Sakura come quick to ino's House." and hung up.

Naruto walked over and grabbed/ holded Sasuke back, "Sasuke calm down."

"Fuck off!" Sasuke yelled.

Sakura soon came in, "Oh my God."

She quickly grabbed Ino and took her to the couch and confort her, " It's okay, Ino. Don't cry." she said as Ino cried into her shoulder.

"Shikamaru please just leave." Naruto said.

"Not without Ino!" Shikamaru yelled.

"You're not taking her anywhere." Sasuke hissed.

"Shikamaru just leave." Naruto. said again while holding back Sasuke.

Shikamary glared at Sasuke for a while and then left.

When Shikamaru was sure out of sight, he let go of Sasuke.

Sasuke soon walked to the livingroom to find Ino crying her eyes out.

"Sasuke, I think Ino should stay with us for a while." Sakura said.

"She's fine." Sasuke said grabbing Ino.

Naruto soon joined in and said," I really think Ino should stay with us for a while."

"She's fine!" Sasuke yelled and Ino winced at this.

"Now leave." Sasuke said.

Soon enough Naruto and Sakura left.

Sasuke slowly tucked Ino in beside him for a nap on their bed as he hugged her tightly. 'So much for getting food. Never trust Shikamaru with Ino again.' He brushed her hair with his hand to ease her sobs down and slowly said, "Ino... I'm truly sorry you ended up with me."
