Pairing: Ino/Sakura.
Prompt: Unsaid.
Somehow, Ino always knew that it would be Sakura who survived Team 7, and that when the others were dead, she would not come back to Konoha.

Ino also always knew she would go after Sakura, then.

"Come back home," she said.

Sakura did not even turn to look at her.

Ino did not say, Neither of us have a home anymore.

Instead she said, "Don't make me drag you, Sakura-chan."

Sakura turned, and she was almost smiling. She didn't say, What is there for us to go back to? Instead she said, "You couldn't if you tried, Ino-pig."

Ino didn't say, Then I'll stay the night at your side, the night and however long it takes. She just grabbed Sakura and pulled her into her arms.
