This is the end of the 3rd arc! Which means that now all that's left is good and healthy doses of SasuIno smex.

Drabble Five: Insensitive.

- -

"Oi, Sasuke-kun. The day is beautiful today, isn't it?"

Said a smiling girl, walking happily besides him.

"…Hn"

The blonde girl turned to look at him, her brow furrowed.

And suddenly, she stopped.

The Uchiha came to a halt as well a couple of feet ahead of her. He turned towards the blonde, slightly surprised.

Ino steadily met his eyes with her own, her expression a mixture between angry and sad.

"Ever since you came back I have been trying to be nice to you, to make you feel at home, as if nothing ever happened" Her outburst and words were unexpected, that she knew. But she couldn't bring herself to stop once the words started to leave her lips—she has had enough of his monotone answers and aloof attitude.

So tightening her clenched fists, and narrowing her eyes, she goes on.

"And what do you do? You keep being the same cold and insensitive jerk who doesn't care about anything but himself and his team! And doesn't show not even a tiny bit of gratitude towards those who care about him!"

Oh yes, the insensitive Uchiha that had been getting on her nerves for so damn long would finally get a piece of her mind.

"You're so damn stubborn! You have emotions! I know you have them! And if you do then why the hell can't you show them? If you want to do or say something, then do it, Sasuke! Stop thinking, at least for once!--"

And Ino would have continued—oh yes she would—after all, she had lots of things she had been meaning to say to him. But she couldn't muster another word, and that was thanks to a very simple reason.

Sasuke's lips were on her own.

Just what exactly they were doing there, or how in the world he was so close in such a short time she would never know, but she blamed the fact that he has always been a very fast ninja.

But right now, the only thing that she could do was stare at him.

His eyes were firmly closed. His brow furrowed. His hands were on the back of her head, holding her in place; his fingertips entangled deep into her blond locks, his warm body pressed firmly against hers. Just like his lips.

And it only took Ino a moment to regain her senses.

Or actually, to loose them.

Her own eyes shut close, and her hand adopted a position much like Sasuke's own. Pressing his black-haired head down towards her, deepening the kiss.

All good—and unexpected—things come to an end though. And slowly, the pressure against her lips lessened and she found herself staring directly at a pair of onyx eyes that were looking at her with a hint of amusement and satisfaction glistening in them.

Sasuke's lips curved into a smirk.

"So, who's a cold and insensitive jerk?"

Ino could do nothing but smile innocently up at him.

"I think it'll take a few more of those to make me forget"
