Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or the characters in this story.
Before we begin the chapter, here's how you can see a picture of the Rikudo Sennin and the Ten-Tailed Beast.
Ten-Tailed Beast= go to Google, click on images and type in Ten-Tailed Beast. It's the third picture.
Rikudo Sennin= go to Google, click on images and type in Rikudo Sennin. It's the fourth picture in the second row.
Also, I'd like to apologize if this story seems a little off topic. I'm just trying to get these other pairings out of the way so the focus can be on Naruto and Sasuke more, but like I said, I really apologize for that. I'd also like to apologize for the long wait. I've been busy researching the right college to go to and I've been a little distracted. I deeply apologize for that too. On a brighter side, I'd like to thank all of you reviewers for having patience with me for this long. I know some of you guys don't wanna hear about these other pairings, but I thank you for hanging in there and being patient with me. Lastly, I'd like to apologize if any of the characters are OC. As I have found out, keeping everyone in character is not easy at all.
Thankfully, this is the last chapter for SakuxIno, so at least that's out the way. I still need to go back and make those revisions to the other chapters as well, but everyone is their Shippuden versions in case any of you all have forgotten. I mentioned it in the last chapter. Again, I deeply apologize for the wait and the off-topicness. After this, the focus will go back to Naruto and Sasuke for a while.
More Than Just Comrades
Chapter 36
It was a week and a half later and Sakura's mind was still in a frantic and confused state. Currently, she was home alone, laying across her bed after having just eaten the dinner her parents had left for her; they had left about 30 minute ago for some time to themselves. The entire house was as quiet as a tomb, which is exactly what Sakura preferred at the moment for the quietness allowed her to think more clearly. Her mind was still turbulent over Ino's kisses at the park and her body's reaction.
For the past few days, she had been convincing herself that she didn't feel the same way Ino had secretly felt about her. However, if that was the case, then why had she gotten aroused? Why had her lips tingled after Ino had pulled away? And there was no denying the warmth that traveled throughout her body when Ino's lips had met hers. Ever since the day they had first met, Sakura had never felt any sort of special feelings for Ino. However, when Ino had kissed and held her, she felt...whole, safe. Despite the signs, the fact still remained that Ino was a girl, and it was that fact that pushed Sakura to keep convicing herself that she hadn't become attracted to Ino.
Though she still couldn't deny the signs. If she wasn't attracted to Ino, then signs wouldn't have presented themselves.
With all of these conflicting thoughts buzzing around within her head, Sakura plopped her head onto her pillow in frustration. She couldn't decide whether she returned Ino's feelings or not and now she was starting to lose sleep over it. She had come up to her room for a small nap, but sleep just wouldn't come. As if that wasn't bad enough, Ino was still pissed at her and heartbroken, so if Sakura actually decided that she did return Ino's feelings, the latter wouldn't listen to her anyway. Sakura had never felt so helpless. After laying there with her head down for 10 more minutes, Sakura decided that she wouldn't be able to figure this out on her own. She was going to need help, but from who? As she sat and thought for a minute, a certain someone came to mind.
Not wasting anymore time, Sakura got up off her bed and slipped on her shinobi sandals. Hopefully, he was home at this time, considering it was almost nighttime. If not, then getting this problem sorted out was going to take even longer.
Iruka breathed a sigh of relief as he stepped out of the steamy shower and slipped into his clean clothes, though being careful to move slowly. He had just woken up from a nap after an intimate episode with Kakashi and he was still a little sore, but it was nothing new for Iruka. After being with the silver-haired Jonin for nearly three years now, Iruka had become so use to Kakashi's aggressivness in bed that his body had become accustomed to the soreness. Though they hadn't gotten intimate in a while so Iruka would have to readjust.
After brushing his teeth, putting on his clean clothes, and putting his hair back in the usual ponytail, Iruka stepped out of the bathroom and took his dirty clothes to the laundry room before making his way to the living room. On his way to plop down on the couch, a picture on the bookshelf beside the couch caught his eye, for it had not been there before.
It was a picture of Kakashi's father, Sakumo Hatake. His picture was oval shaped and in the middle of two sets of dates. Above was his birth date and below was the date that he'd died. Above his birth date were the words "In Loving Memory of Konoha's White Fang". Looking at the picture, Iruka found it almost frightening how much Kakashi and Sakumo looked alike, though Sakumo's facial features were more distinguished compared to Kakashi's visible ones. Letting out a sigh, Iruka smiled solemnly as he recalled the day Sakumo had died. He was only a young boy then, but the news had stuck with him.
Closing his eyes, Iruka said a small prayer before reopening his eyes and noticing Kakashi from his peripheral vision giving him a questioning look.
"Iruka, what are you doing?" Kakashi asked as he walked over, wearing only his Jonin uniform, his Sharingan eye closed.
Iruka didn't answer for a moment.
"Do you ever miss him, Kakashi?" Iruk asked instead.
Kakashi looked at the picture on the bookshelf and realized who Iruka was referring to.
"Yes, everyday." Kakashi answered as he gave his father's picture a solemn gaze. "Sometimes, I wish he were still here."
A dreadful silence hung in the air as memories of his father flashed through Kakashi's mind. However, he was brought of his thoughts by Iruka wrapping his loving arms around his neck.
"If he were here, he'd be proud of you. I know it." Iruka said before slowly reaching up and pulling down Kakashi's mask, revealing his handsome face and full lips that were just begging to be kissed.
Licking his own lips sensually, Iruka leaned up on his tiptoes and captured Kakashi in a heated kiss. In response, Kakashi moaned and wrapped his arms around Iruka before eagerly returning the kiss. As the two made out, Kakashi, deciding that now was the time to let out his perverted side, let his hands wander wherever they pleased, sensually stroking Iruka's back and the back of his head before finally bringing his hands lower to rest on Iruka's ass. Surprised, Iruka opened his his mouth to draw in a breath, allowing Kakashi to slip his tongue in.
As Kakashi's tongue explored his mouth, Iruka's own tongue began to come to life. As it rubbed up against Kakashi's tongue, the two appendages engaged in a fierce battle of wills, a battle which Kakashi allowed Iruka to win. As Iruka's tongue made itself at home within his mouth, Kakashi began to suck on the slimy muscle, causing Iruka to moan deep his throat before their tongues began to battle again.
As the two made out, Kakashi cleverly maneuvered them to the couch where they both collapsed in a breathless heap, still holding onto each other. Laying beside Kakashi, Iruka took the opportunity to explore the Jonin's body and gently placed his hand on Kakashi's chest, feeling the muscles underneath.
Smirking, Kakashi removed his shirt and tossed it onto the floor, exposing his rippling chest which Iruka immediately began to touch, feeling the pecs all the way down to the sculpted six pack abs. Now breathing heavy with lust, Iruka leaned forward and took one of Kakashi's hardened nipples into his mouth while placing his hand on the Jonin's hip. Though Iruka wasn't done there.
After giving both of Kakashi's nipples attention, Iruka licked and sucked every inch of Kakashi's upper body, working his way down to the abs and tracing over them with his tongue while his gently rubbed Kakashi's hip, causing the silvered haired Jonin to groan and shudder as waves of pleasure swept over him. After tasting every visible inch of skin, Iruka moved up and began to lick and suck at Kakashi's pulse while pressing himself flat up against the Jonin. As he pressed himself against Kakashi, Iruka's eyes widened when he felt an enormous bulge poking him in the stomach.
"...Sorry." Kakashi sheepishly apologized. "I can't help it."
Instead of replying back right away, Iruka stared at him blankly for a minute before chuckling.
"I know." Iruka said in a slightly seductive tone as he wrapped his hand around Kakashi's erection, causing the Jonin to jump slightly. "It's what I was aiming for."
After giving Kakashi one more peck on the lips, Iruka instructed Kakashi to sit near the edge of the couch, which the Jonin did without question. After his lover properly seated, Iruka moved to sit on the floor right between Kakashi's legs. Realizing what was about to happen, Kakashi's open eye widened considerably. He was dreaming, he had to be.
But he wasn't.
After unzipping his lover's navy blue uniform pants, Iruka backed away a little when Kakashi's large erection popped out, pulsing no more than a few inches from his face. Smirking deviously, Iruka gently tapped it and watched it bob back and forth a few times before licking it up and down repeatedly like a scoop of ice cream, causing Kakashi to let out another groan at the sensation.
Since the day they had first started going out, Kakashi had been awaiting the day when Iruka would finally come around and do this. Though, during their first intimate session, Iruka had clearly told Kakashi that he would never go down on him, saying that it was unhygienic and that he wasn't comfortable with the idea. Well, never say never.
After licking Kakashi's 12 inch long shaft, Iruka gave a few experimental licks to the head as well, tasting the precum that had collected there before taking the entire head into his mouth and beginning to suck at a firm pace.
'So this is what it's like.' Iruka thought as he took in a little more. He'd said that he'd never do this, but his curiosity had been nagging at him ever since then. Finally, his curiosity had gotten the better of him and he'd decided that try it, just this once. So far, it wasn't so bad, but he wouldn't do it very often.
"Iruka." Kakashi breathed out as he leaned back on the couch. 'Being this good with your mouth should be a crime in on itself.'
Seeing that Kakashi was enjoying this, Iruka attempted to swallow him, but found this difficult as Kakashi was just as thick as he was long. After a few tries, Iruka managed to finally swallow Kakashi's cock down his throat, though he had a feeling that he would have a sore throat in the morning. However, Iruka put that aside and continued to suck anyway.
'Yes...finally! Just a little more and I'm there.' Kakashi thought as he felt his semen rise. 'Almost there...'
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
'What the hell was that?' Kakashi thought as he listened for the sound again. Even Iruka had stopped his ministrations to listen.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
"Iruka-sensei? Kakashi-sensei? Are you home?" a voice called from behind the front door.
"Sakura?" Kakashi said questioningly.
Realizing that it was one of his former students, Iruka pulled off of Kakashi's dick with a 'pop' before rising up to his feet and refixing his hair, which had become disheveled during his and Kakashi's make out session.
"Wait a minute. Iruka...aren't you going to finish?" Kakashi asked, not believing that Iruka was actually going to to leave him like this.
Again, Iruka didn't answer right away. Instead, he walked into the bedroom that he and Kakashi shared and pulled a thick blanket out of the closet, one big enough to hide Kakashi's predicament. He then walked back into the living room and draped the blanket over Kakashi's lower body.
"Yes, I will finish, but not now. So until then, sit up, put your shirt on, and act casually." Iruka said before walking to the door.
'Of all the times for Sakura to come over for a visit, why now?' Kakashi ranted angrily in his head as he slipped his shirt back on, put his penis back in his pants, and sat up.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! KNO-
Iruka opened the door halfway through Sakura's fourth knock, surprising and confusing the pink haired girl.
"Iruka-sensei? You're visiting Kakashi-sensei too?" Sakura asked, her fist still raised to knock.
"Well, actually Sakura, I live here now." Iruka revealed. "I moved in a year after me and Kakashi started dating."
Sakura's mouth dropped open at the revelation. Though, it shouldn't have been to surprising since Sasuke had moved in with Naruto not too long after they had started dating also. Still, the thought of Iruka and Kakashi living together still surprised her for some reason.
"Would you like to come inside?" Iruka offered, opening the door wider.
"Actually, I was wondering if I could speak with you privately about something." Sakura said. "Out here." She had originally come to ask Kakashi-sensei, but Iruka was just as good.
Iruka's eyes widened momentarily before giving Sakura a warm smile.
"I'll be back in a minute Kakashi." Iruka said over his shoulder before slipping on his shinobi sandals and closing the door behind him.
Kakashi let out a sigh. Well, if he was going to sit here, he might as well make the best of it. Getting up and looking through the bookshelf, Kakashi finally found his Make-Out Violence novel and picked up where he left off after plopping back down on the couch.
Meanwhile, back outside, Sakura and Iruka were sitting on the two chairs out on the balcony of Kakashi's apartment, watching what was left of the sun sink below the horizon.
"So Sakura, what did you want to talk about." Iruka asked.
"It's about Ino." Sakura said. "You see...well...she kissed me a week and half ago."
At hearing this bit of information, Iruka's jaw nearly hit the deck. Ino actually revealed her feelings to Sakura! Ever since the day Sakura had broken her heart, Ino had regularly gone to see Iruka like a guidance counselor and he'd often help Ino calm down after another fistfight with Sakura. After so many fights, Iruka finally couldn't stand it any longer and had ordered Ino to tell him what was going on between her and Sakura.
So, she'd told him, and ever since then, Iruka had agreed to keep it a secret until Ino was ready to tell Sakura on her own. Now that day had finally come.
"She...kissed you?" Iruka repeated.
Sakura nodded.
"Twice. Apparently, she'd had a crush on me ever since the day we'd first met." Sakura revealed. "She kissed me the first time to get her point across."
Iruka nodded to show he was still listening.
"Well, how did you feel then?" he asked a second later.
"Shocked, more than anything. I mean, I didn't know what else to feel at that moment. I'd never felt any sort of attraction to Ino before, but then she comes out of nowhere and reveals that she loves me, and kisses me at that! I mean, this is all so sudden and I don't know what to do!" Sakura answered frantically as she began to pull at her hair.
"Alright, calm down and take a deep breath." Iruka said. Sakura had started to hyperventilate. "What happened next?"
"Well, it turns out that Ino was going to reveal her feelings to me on the same day I was going to tell her about my feelings for Sasuke. But when I found out that Ino sort of liked Sasuke too, I ended or friendship and walked away. I didn't realize that I'd broken her heart at the same time, and I still feel awful about it. I really didn't mean to hurt Ino like that." Sakura explained.
"But anyway, she said that it didn't matter because she figured that I wouldn't return her feelings anyway. But then I argued that she'd didn't exactly know that for sure. That was when she kissed me the second time and asked how I felt afterwards. When I didn't answer, she got pissed at me and stormed off."
Iruka nodded a little more as Sakura explained had happened.
"Well, do you return Ino's feelings." he asked.
"Well, that's just the thing. I don't know If I return Ino's feelings. It's been nagging me for week and half now and I've lost sleep over it." Sakura replied.
"I see. Well, try and think back for a minute. What did you feel when Ino kissed you the second time?" Iruka asked.
Sakura sighed as she contemplated whether or not to tell Iruka that bit of information. It was kind of embarrassing to be talking to her former teacher about this, but if she was to decide what to do, she'd have to swallow her pride.
"Well, the first thing I felt was this "warmth" that traveled throughout my entire body. At first, I thought it'd only presented itself the second time Ino had kissed me, but now that I really think back on it, I realize that I felt it the first time too. I was just too shocked to really pay attention to it."
Iruka raised his eyebrows at hearing this. That little piece of information let him know right away that Sakura did return Ino's feelings, though she was not consciously aware of it. Even still, it was all he needed to hear.
"You're in love with her"
"Then while she was kissing me, she held m-wait what?" Sakura said, cutting herself off as Iruka's words finally sunk in.
"You're in love with her."
Sakura just stared at him for a minute as though he'd just done a magic trick.
"That "warmth" you felt that traveled through your body was love. Subconsciously, your heart had already decided that it'd wanted Ino once she'd kissed you the first time. Consciously though, you were not aware for you were overwhelmed with the situation at hand. Basically, you actually do love Ino back, you just haven't come to terms with it yet." Iruka explained.
"Iruka-sensei, that sounds totally insane. How can I be in love with Ino? I've never felt anything for her before!" Sakura pointed out.
"Well, everyone experiences love differently. Ino fell in love with you the minute she saw you. You, on the other hand, subconsciously fell in love with her through brief intimate contact. What can I say? Love works in mysterious ways." Iruka said, shrugging slightly.
"Well then...what should I do?"
"First, you have to accept the fact that you're attracted to Ino. After that, tell her how you feel. You don't necessarily have to do it now, but you should eventually."
"But Ino hates me right now, and honestly, I don't blame her. She isn't going to listen to me."
"She will. You forget that there's still a part of Ino that has feelings for you. That part of her will at least get her to listen to what you have to say."
"But what if she doesn't forgive me? What if she listens to what I have to say, but still rejects me because she's pissed. You have to understand Iruka-sensei, Ino is just an angry person. Most of the time, it's her anger that drives her to do some the things that she does."
"I understand that, but it's still worth giving a shot. Who's to say? Maybe Ino will come around if you give her time to cool off. After all, you accepting her is something that she's always wanted. So even if she is angry, giving her time to cool off might change her mind."
Sakura was about to argue back, but then changed her mind. Iruka did have a point. If Ino was still pissed, maybe accepting her and giving her time to calm done would solve the problem. However, there was still one thing that kept her from making up her mind.
"Well, that does sound like a good idea, but the fact still remains that Ino is girl." Sakura pointed out. "People would look at us funny and talk about us."
"Sakura, you're going to have to look past that. Sure, people are gonna look at you kind of funny and talk, but screw them. You're with whom your destined to be with, so who cares what they think or say? Better yet, look it this way: Kakashi and I are both guys, but we didn't let that come between us. Even despite his incredible reputation among the villagers, Kakashi still revealed his feelings to me anyway, regardless of what everyone else would think of him, and we've been together ever since. If you really want to settle this bad blood between you and Ino, you're going to have to put the fact that you're both female behind you and accept the fact that you love her. Sure, it may be a little awkward since you and her were rivals, but you'll grow accustomed to each other eventually." Iruka argued.
Again, he had a good point. Now there was nothing holding her back, except herself.
"But...I'm still not sure if I really like Ino that way. How do I accept that I like her?" Sakura asked.
Iruka only smiled and got up from his chair. He then walked over to Sakura and placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Just follow your heart Sakura, and do what it tells you." Iruka said before walking back into the house to cuddle with Kakashi on the couch.
For the next 15 minutes, Sakura just sat there, reflecting on how crazy all of this was. After all the fights and horrible things she and Ino had done to each other, they were now on the verge of becoming lovers. If Ino forgave her, it could finally end the feud between them.
'I don't believe this. The thought of having a relationship with Ino right now too unbelievable to comprehend. After everything I've been through with her, a relationship simply isn't going to work. There has to be some way to get around this, but how?' Sakura thought to herself with her head resting in her hands. With no ideas coming to mind, Sakura just sat there, looking off into space with a sad look on her face.
Talking with Iruka had helped her a little, but she still wasn't quite sure whether or not to actually accept her feelings for Ino or not. She was still going to need some help with this. She considered asking her parents for help, but then quickly decided against it. Sakura's parents were strongly against same sex relationships and looked down on it as though it were a crime against nature. If Sakura were to tell them that she maybe falling in love with another girl, they would flip. Hell, they'd probably denounce her as their daughter! With her parents officially crossed off the list, there were only two people left whom she could go to for advice. Even though the streetlights had come on, it still wasn't that late and most of Konoha was still wide awake. Hopefully, the two people she needed to see would be awake too.
Without wasting another precious moment, Sakura shot up from her chair, raced down the stairs and charged off into the night.
After running for nearly 15 minutes straight, Sakura finally stood outside of Naruto's doorstep panting heavily. After finally catching her breath and fixing her slightly disheaveled hair, Sakura took a deep breath and knocked on the door several times. A few moments later, she could hear voices from inside.
"Naruto, door!"
"Damn it teme! Would it kill you to get off your ass? Jesus, you're acting just like Shikamaru!"
"Whatever. Shut up and answer the door."
"Hey, fuck you! And pause the movie till I get back teme! I don't wanna miss it!"
It took all of Sakura's inner strength not burst out laughing at that moment. It was just so hilarious whenever Naruto and Sasuke had their little fights. However, Sakura had to quickly compose herself when she heard the familiar sound of a lock turning, and a moment later, she was staring into Naruto's surprised blue eyes. Her blonde haired teammate was wearing an orange shirt and khaki shorts. He was barefoot and his hair wasn't in it's usual shaggy ponytail. Instead, it hung down his back and slightly past his ass.
"Sakura-chan! How have you been girl?" Naruto shouted excitedly as he moved forward and enveloped Sakura in a tight hug, nearly cutting off the pinkette's air supply.
"I've been fine Naruto-kun. Now could you please let me breathe?" Sakura said with difficulty.
"Oh, sorry." Naruto said with a blush. "Well don't just stand there, come on in!"
With almost no effort at all, Naruto pulled Sakura into his apartment with one strong tug, catching Sakura by surprise. After taking her shoes off at the door and closing said door behind her, Sakura followed Naruto into the dimly lit living room and gave a friendly wave to the Uchiha, who only gave a quick nod in return.
Said Uchiha was sitting upright on the pulled-out couch, wearing a T-shirt and watching "Die Hard 2" on the plasma screen television, a thick blanket thrown over the lower half of his body.
"So Sakura-chan, can I get you anything?" Naruto asked.
"No, I actually won't be staying for very long." Sakura replied.
Despite the fake smile he was given, Naruto could tell something was wrong just by looking at his pink-haired teammate. For one thing, she seemed nervous about something, as though there was something troubling on her mind. Also, she kept moving from one foot to another and she was fidgeting, as if she was debating something in her mind.
"So, Sakura-chan, what brings you here?" Naruto said, breaking the silence that he hadn't even been aware of.
"Uh...well...I needed to talk to Sasuke for a minute." Sakura admitted while rubbing the back of her head nervously.
Both of her teammates just sort of stared at her.
"What do you need to talk to me for?" Sasuke asked with a raised eyebrow.
Despite being on the same team, Sasuke was not really close to Sakura at all, especially not as close to her as Naruto.
"It's kind of important. Can we talk outside?" Sakura asked while pointing to the sliding door that lead outside to the terrace.
Sasuke looked over at Naruto with a look that said 'what's this all about?', though all he got from his blonde-haired lover was a shrug of the shoulders. Letting out an exasperated sigh, Sasuke got out from under the covers and lazily made his way to the sliding glass door.
"This had better be good Sakura." Sasuke warned as he slid the door open and stepped outside.
Sakura hurriedly got up and walked out onto the terrace with Sasuke. The two then sat down on the stone bench and were given a great view of the town. Crickets could be heard chirping in the distance and few fire flies could be seen lighting up in the night as well. A gentle breeze blew through, making the grass and trees dance in the wind.
"Alright, what do you need to talk about?" Sasuke asked uninterestingly. "And make this quick. One of my favorite movies is on and I don't wanna miss it."
Sakura nodded and closed her eyes to calm herself. It wouldn't be easy asking what she was about to ask. Knowing Sasuke, he'd probably get mad and say it was none of her business, but he was the best person to ask in this situation, as crazy as that sounded.
"Sasuke, how did you and Naruto fall in love?" Sakura asked.
Sasuke slightly narrowed his eyes.
"Why do you wanna know?"
"I just need to know okay. I know it's personal, but please tell me."
Sasuke sighed.
"It was back at the Ninja Academy, when me and Naruto accidentally kissed."
Sakura's eyes widened a little at hearing this. Even though she'd known that Naruto and Sasuke were going out, Sakura had never been clear on the details of exactly how it happened.
"Okay, well, what exactly did you feel? I mean, what made you realize that Naruto was the 'one'?" Sakura asked.
Again, Sasuke stared at her suspiciously.
"Sakura, what's up? I'm not going any further until you explain exactly what's going on here and why you want to know all this." Sasuke said firmly. It didn't make any sense for Sakura to suddenly ask this out of the blue.
Sakura lowered her head so that her bangs covered up her eyes.
"I'm waiting." Sasuke said with his arms crossed over his chest.
"It's me and Ino. She's...in love with me." Sakura said in a low voice that Sasuke almost missed.
None the less, Sasuke allowed a look of utter shock to cross his face before his expressionless mask fell back into place. Had he heard right?
"Ino loves you?" Sasuke repeated.
Sakura nodded.
"As in Ino Yamanaka? The one in our graduating class? The same Ino who has hated you since as long as I can remember? THAT Ino is in love with you?"
Again, Sakura nodded.
"Okay then. In that case, I hope you realize why I'm a little skeptical. I mean, take a moment to think about all the horrible things you've said and done to each other. For example, there was the time she came at you with a pair of scissors and tried to cut all of your hair off. Then there was the time she attacked you with a baseball bat during a kickball game back at the academy. Now you're saying that same girl is in love with you? "
"I know it sounds crazy Sasuke, but she really is in love with me. I know this because she told me the other week at the park after we'd gotten done with training. And.."
"And what?" Sasuke pressed.
"Well, After she explained how I ended our friendship on the same day she was going to reveal her feelings to me, she kissed me to see whether or not I returned her feelings. When I didn't answer, she got pissed off at me and stormed off. I haven't spoken to or seen her since then."
Sasuke's eyes widened momentarily before he gave a nod of understanding.
"So you broke her heart on the same day she was going to ask you out...damn, no wonder she hates you then."
"I know. The reason I asked you what yu felt when kissed Naruto was because I wanted to see if I returned her feelings or not. Maybe what you felt when you kissed Naruto is the same thing I felt when she kissed me."
Sasuke sighed and ran a hand through his hair, letting the appendage stay there while he closed and contemplated whether or not to really tell Sakura about his feelings that day.
"Alright. When me and Naruto kissed that day, I felt a warm tingling sensation go throughout my entire body. It felt like time had stopped and me and Naruto were the only ones in the room. It only lasted for a few seconds, but I felt calm...complete. I played it off like I was disgusted, but I really wanted Naruto to kiss me again."
Sakura drew in a sharp breath as she listened to Sasuke reveal his feelings that day. It was just like what had happened when Ino had kissed her, thereby making final. For the longest moment, Sakura was silent, just staring off into space.
"Yo, Sakura? Are you still there?" Sasuke asked, snapping his fingers in front of Sakura's face to wake her up.
"I guess there's no mistaking now. Sasuke...I'm in love with her." Sakura finally said.
"Then go and tell her."
"I don't know how. Ino might still be mad at me."
"So. Naruto was still pissed at me when I revealed my feelings to him. But after I told him how I felt and why I avoided him all that time, we got together."
"But Ino isn't going to listen to me."
"She'll listen. If she really loves you, she'll listen. It was the exact same way with me and Naruto. Just get her to listen to you and tell her how you feel. No matter how mad she is, there's still a part of her that cares about you. Try and reach that part of her." Sasuke instructed as he stood up. "That's all I have to say."
Having said what was needed, Sasuke had just made it to the sliding-glass door before he stopped for a moment.
"Oh, and Sakura..."
Sakura turned to look at him.
"We never had this conversation."
"Right, forgetting."
Minutes later, Sakura now stood outside of Ino's front door, shaking with nervousness. She'd gone over what she wanted to say on the way over, and after going over it again and again, she'd finally built up enough courage not to turn the other way and go home. Now, she didn't feel so sure of herself. Despite knowing what she wanted to say, Sakura just couldn't bring herself to actually knock on Ino's front door. Whenever she'd attempt to, she'd start shaking and back out. She'd been standing there for almost ten minutes, and by now, it was getting late.
'Come on Sakura! Stop wasting time and knock on her door already!' Inner Sakura said from within Sakura's mind. 'The longer you get here, the longer it's gonna take. Now stop fucking around and tell Ino how you really feel! It's now or never!'
Nodding to herself, Sakura took a deep breath and let it out very slowly to calm her nerves before finally building up enough courage and knocking on Ino's door 5 good times. Now all she had to do was wait. At first, nothing happened, but moments later, the door was pulled open to reveal Ino's father, Inoichi Yamanaka standing in the doorway wearing his pajamas.
"Sakura? What are you doing here at this hour?" Inoichi asked, surprised.
"Hello Mr. Yamanaka. I'm really sorry, but I need to talk to Ino for a moment." Sakura said politely. "Again, I'm really sorry for showing up so suddenly."
"It's no problem Sakura. You're always welcome here." Inoichi said cheerfully. "Ino's up in her room. She's been kind of down lately, so be careful. You know how she gets when she's upset."
"I know. This won't take long." Sakura replied before taking off her sandals and making her way up the steps.
Inoichi locked the front door and turned off the lamp near the door, plunging the entire living room into darkness before going upstairs himself. He then smiled warmly at Sakura before walking into his own room down the hall and closing the door.
Meanwhile, while standing outside of Ino's door, Sakura felt her nervousness come back full force. Her knees began to tremble and she began to become lightheaded. This was it, the moment that could possibly change both their lives forever.
'This is it.' Sakura said to herself nervously. 'Well, here goes nothing.'
With shaking hands, Sakura knocked several times on Ino's door and waited for a response.
"It's open." Ino said from the other side of the door, causing Sakura to begin to sweat.
'Alright, I've already come this far. It's too late to turn back now.'
With a gulp, Sakura gripped the doorknob, turned it, and slowly let it swing open.
Ino was laying barefoot upright in her bed, wearing a purple shirt that stopped just above her belly button and a pair of boxers. Her blonde hair, however, was still in its usual ponytail. Looking up from the manga she was reading and seeing who it was, Ino's calm expression turned into a deep frown.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" Ino asked angrily.
"I need to talk to you about what happened at the park." Sakura said.
"And give me one good reason why I should listen to whatever the fuck you have to say."
"Because a part of you still cares about me."
Ino slightly flinched at hearing that. She wouldn't admit it, but Sakura had a point. No matter how hard she tried to kill her feelings for Sakura, a small part of her still held on.
With an frustrated sigh, Ino got up and placed her book back on the bookshelf on the other side of her room before returning to sit on the edge of her bed.
"Are you coming in or not." Ino said heatedly.
Sakura closed the door behind her as she walked in and sat beside her blonde-haired rival.
"Alright, I'm listening."
Instead, of explaining right away, Sakura dropped her head and allowed her bangs to cover her eyes again. She was too nervous and she'd forgotten what she'd wanted to say. Imagining herself talking to Ino was one thing, but talking to her in person was totally different. Worse, she could feel herself shaking again.
"Sakura, are you gonna tell me what yu have to say or what?" Ino asked a bit edgily.
For about the millionth time that day, Sakura took a deep breath.
"I...love you." Sakura said in a low voice, though Ino still manage to catch it. Hearing those words caused Ino's heart to skip a beat, but she was still a little weary.
"You do?" Ino asked skeptically.
"Yes. I've given it time to think about it, and I realize that I feel the same way towards you." Sakura verified.
What passed between them was a moment of tense silence. Sure, those were the words that Ino had always wanted to hear from Sakura, but...she couldn't forgive her. Even though a small part her was telling her to pull Sakura close, the larger part of her was telling her to reject Sakura. Against her own will, memories of that day returned to the surface and Ino found herself feeling that pain all over again. Of their own accord, Ino's eyes narrowed. Before she could actually say anything, however, Sakura had began to speak again. This time though, Sakura actually turned to look at Ino, allowing the blonde haired girl to see the tears that silently streamed down her face.
"I'd also like to say I'm sorry." Sakura said, her voice cracking with emotion.
"You have every right to be mad at me, even I have trouble forgiving myself. I ruined a day that was supposed to be special for you for my own selfish reason. I thought I was so in love with Sasuke, that I let it get the better of me and I ended up hurting you. You were the one who showed me how to actually be a girl. You were the one who showed me how to stand up for myself. Despite all that, despite being one of the best friends I've ever had, I just threw you away, first Naruto and then you. I'm sorry Ino! I never meant to hurt you like that! I'm so sorry!"
Unable to continue speaking, Sakura broke down into tears and began to sob loudly, making Ino glad for once that the walls of her room were thick. However, seeing Sakura break down like that wrenched at Ino's heart. She had planned to reject Sakura the same way Sakura had rejected her, but seeing Sakura experience almost the same pain as her didn't exactly as feel as satisfying as she thought it would. It reminded Ino of how she felt that day and she realized that nobody deserved to go through that, not even her worst enemy. Ino's anger began to dissipate and the softer side of her began to win over, and instead of wanting to reject Sakura, a new command entered her head: comfort her.
Without even realizing it, Ino moved forward and pulled the crying, pink-haired girl into her chest and gently held her until she finally stopped crying. For the next 10 minutes, Ino simply held Sakura and a comfortable silence passed between the two. Finally, it occured to Sakura that she was pressed against Ino's boobs, causing her to blush slightly. She would've pulled away, but she didn't want to ruin the moment so she laid against them comfortably.
"Hey, Sakura?" Ino said questioningly.
"Hm?"
"Did you...really mean all of that?" Ino asked.
Instead of replying verbally, Sakura raised herself up from Ino's warm chest and nodded shyly. A lone tear slid down her cheek and made it down halfway before Ino wiped it away. She then moved her hand up and gently stroked the side of Sakura's face before slowly moving in. Knowing what was coming next, Sakura opened her mouth slightly before Ino's lips met hers in a gentle, passionate kiss. Without even having to be asked, Sakura opened her mouth and allowed Ino's tongue entrance. She moaned as she felt the strong appendage move within her mouth and couldn't help but move her tongue against it. The two kunoichi continued to kiss like this until they were finally forced to separate for precious air.
As they gazed into each other's while breathing heavily, Sakura finally became aware of the softness underneath her hands. Looking down, Sakura blushed redder than a lobster as she realized that her hands were still grasping Ino's breasts from when she'd pulled herself up. Ino, however, didn't mind in the least.
"It's alright." Ino reassured her, gently running her hand though Sakura's hair. "You can touch them if you want to."
With Ino's reassurance, Sakura's blush deepened as she gently groped and squeezed both of Ino's ample breasts through her shirt and bra. Both mounds of flesh felt softer than any pillow Sakura had ever felt and she noticed that the belly shirt Ino was wearing did little to contain them. As she gently felt Ino up, a question popped into Sakura's head that she just had to ask, despite how personal.
"Hey, Ino, if you don't mind my asking, what size are you?" Sakura asked a little bashfully.
Ino giggled and blushed slightly.
"I'm a DD Sakura." Ino replied happily. However, her smile quickly turned into a seductive smirk. "Do you wanna see them?"
As impossible as it seemed, Sakura's blush reddened even more and the wetness that had formed between her legs began to slightly drench her undergarments. Even still, she gave a quick nod.
After kissing Sakura on the cheek, Ino slipped her fingers underneath her belly shirt and easily lifted over head and flung it to the floor, revealing her DD Cups contained in a red lacy bra. Reaching behind her, Ino undid the clasp and allowed her bra to slip from her shoulders, fully exposing her large breasts. Seeing them made Sakura's breath hitch and her heart skip a few beats, for without the bra to hold them back, they looked even bigger than before! Unable to hold back her curiosity, Sakura reached out with shaky hands and grasped both of them, becoming amazed at their softness and the way Ino's nipples hardened. Enjoying the sensations from Sakura's touch, Ino poked her chest more, giving Sakura full access to her rack and she began to moan softly when Sakura would lift them before letting them drop again.
As she watched her Ino's breasts jiggle after letting them drop a few, Sakura decided to get bold. After firmly grabbing Ino's right tit, Sakura leaned in and took her partner's rosy nipple into her mouth. Ino let out a gasp as she watch Sakura suckle like a newborn infant. Welcoming this action, Ino pulled Sakura harder against her breast, letting Sakura suckle more before flicking her nipple with her tongue. Sakura would repeat this process again and again, flicking Ino's nipple with her tongue only to pull it into her mouth and begin suckling again, as though she were trying to get milk. After giving Ino's right tit enough attention, Sakura moved and gave the left one equal attention if not more. While Sakura suckled, Ino grabbed and massaged the unattended breast while firmly pressing Sakura to her other one, the position helping to arouse Ino further.
'These are amazing! I had no idea Ino was this well-endowed.' Sakura thought as she firmly suckled a little more.
As Sakura moved and began to lick her cleavage, Ino reached her hand underneath Sakura's body and gently cupped the pink haired girl's breasts through her red top. Gasping in surprise, Sakura quickly tore herself away from Ino's chest and blushed heavily.
"Sakura, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to move too fast." Ino apologized.
"No, it's not that. I want to show them to you, but..." Sakura bit her lip before contemplating whether or not to say the rest. "...their small. Mine aren't as big as yours."
Hearing this made Ino's eye widen. Sakura was actually insecure about herself? Though for a small reason. Sakura was such a beautiful girl even without huge titties. Why couldn't she see that?
"Sakura, listen. You're beautiful just the way you are. You don't need to have big boobs to be attractive. Besides, their not small. Their the size most girls would prefer. Remember what I told back then: believe in yourself." Ino encouraged, causing Sakura to smile and look away bashfully again. "Besides, you don't have to show them if you don't want to. We can stop here."
"No! I want to continue." Sakura protested. "I fell comfortable letting you see them."
With Sakura's reassurance, Ino reached forward and slowly unzipped Sakura's red top, letting it fall from her shoulders and revealing her pink bra. Though, it was slightly too small since Sakura's breasts were slightly spilling out the side. Giving Sakura one last peck on the cheek, Ino reached behind Sakura and unclasped her bra before flinging it onto the floor, leaving Sakura's meduim size breasts bare. They were perfectly round and her pink nipples stood at attention. Licking her lips, Ino grabbed both of them and gently began to fondle her partner. She reveled in the way Sakura's tits filled her hands perfectly with just the right amount, not an ounce of skin overflowing.
"See, nice and firm." Ino said while giving them a hard squeeze, causing Sakura to moan and clench the bed sheets under her hands. "So Sakura, what size are you?"
Sakura blushed and rubbed the back her head.
"I'm a C." she said softly.
"That's a perfectly good size Sakura. There's nothing to be embarassed about." Ino encouraged as she rolled Sakura's nipples between her fingers before gently pinching them. Against her will, Sakura began to breathe heavily and let out a soft moan.
She'd never known her boobs were this sensitive. Every pinch and touch sent wave after wave of pleasure throughout her body. When Ino began to gently pull on them, Sakura couldn't take anymore teasing. Abruptly, she got up on her knees and moved closer to Ino, her breasts now level with the girl's face.
"Suck them." Sakura commanded, her voice thick with lust. "You can suck on them."
Not needing to be told twice, Ino licked her lips again before leaning forward suckling on Sakura's left tit while squeezing the other one. Every now and then, Ino would circle the hard peak with her tongue before bringing it into a hard suck. After giving Sakura's cleavage a quick lick, Ino moved to the other one and repeated her actions like on the left one. As she suckled, she felt her own boobs being played with and realized that Sakura's hands had taken on a mind of their own, squeezing her DD cups firmly. Of course, Ino wasn't complaining.
With the combined assault of having her tits being sucked and played with, while at the same feeling the softness of Ino's own boobs, Sakura's clit had begun to throb almost painfully with arousal. She wanted, no, needed Ino to touch her 'down there'. She knew what that would mean, but she didn't care. She wanted to experience this for all it was worth.
"Ino...I'm ready." Sakura breathed out after another moan.
Ino stopped sucking almost instantly and rose to look Sakura in the eye. Did Sakura really even realize what she'd just said? Was she really willing to take that final step?
"Are you sure? You really wanna go all the way?" Ino questioned.
Sakura nodded firmly.
"I'm positive Ino. I want it. Please, be my first."
"...Okay. Just know that we can stop whenever you want. All you have to do is say so."
Sakura smiled and moved to sit between Ino's legs before capturing her in another heated kiss. Their tongues immediately intertwined and began to battle for dominace. Sakura placed a hand behind Ino's head and pulled her closer, deeping the kiss and allowing their breasts to finally touch. Unable to keep her hands to herself, Ino reached down and firmly grabbed Sakura's ass, giving it a nice hard squeeze and earning her yet another moan from the pink haired girl. Sakura then broke the kiss and instead moved down and began to lick and kiss at the junction of Ino's neck and shoulders while once again fondling the larger female. After leaving a prominent red mark, Sakura had Ino lay back while she left a trail of kisses down to her breasts, sucking on one momentarily before kissing her way down to the hem line of Ino's boxers.
After receiving a reassurig nod from Ino, Sakura slipped her finger underneath the hem line and pulled them down Ino's legs before throwing them unto the floor. Now that those were out of the way, Sakura got her first full look at another naked girl. Ino had perfect curves, smooth skin, and a few bruises here and there from their fist fights in the past. Blushing, Sakura allowed her eyes to travel further south, down past Ino's flat tummy, until she was staring at Ino's womanhood. It was shaven and also glistening, showing Ino's arousal. She considered reaching out and touching it, but became too reluctant and instead allowed Ino to rise up again.
After sitting back up, Ino gave Sakura another quick peck on the lips before moving down and quickly removing Sakura's black shorts and drenched panties at the same time. After they were both completely nude, Ino took her hair out of its usual ponytail, letting it to cascade down her back before moving Sakura to the floor so that she was laying on her back on the soft carpet. Without needing to be told, Sakura tentatively spread her legs and allowed Ino access to her privates.
Upon actually getting a look at Sakura's vagina, Ino noticed that it was only half the size of her own and had a small tuft of pink hair just above it, proving that Sakura actually was a natural pink. Smirking, Ino reached a hand out and gently played with the tuft of hair before slowly slipping two fingers into Sakura's pussy, causing the girl to jump slightly at the intrusion. Instinctively, Sakura clenched her walls around the foreign digits and began to groan when she felt them move within her, stretching her in a scissoring motion. Succombing to the sensation, Sakura put her hands up, letting them rest on either side of her head, and allowed Ino to finger her. This was the first time she'd ever been touched this way, let alone by another woman, and she was enjoying every minute of it.
Unfortunately, the pleasure was momentarily halted when Ino removed her fingers from Sakura's vagina, though with difficulty since Sakura was clenching around her fingers so firmly. Raising her fingers to her face, Ino was happy to see that they were fully coated with Sakura's juices. Licking her lips for the millionth time, Ino slipped the wet appendages into her mouth and sucked them clean, savoring the slightly sour taste and getting her first taste of Sakura. By now, Ino's own vagina was practically begging for attention, though she would hold off her own pleasure in order to please her lover. After taking her fingers from her mouth, Ino looked back down at Sakura's juicy opening and wanted nothing more than to delve into it. Though she would only do so with Sakura's permission.
"Sakura, do you want me to stop now or would you like to continue?" Ino asked. She would stop if Sakura wanted her to, though she was also silently praying that Sakura would allow her to continue.
Instead of responding verbally, Sakura reached down and used two fingers to open her pussy, allowing Ino to stare directly into it. Having been given all the permission she needed, Ino leaned down to Sakura's open entrance and sniffed it a few times before letting her tongue enter for the first time. Sakura moaned loudly as Ino's tongue darted deep within her, lapping up her juices and all the while making Sakura wetter and wetter. Cupping both of Sakura's creamy thighs, Ino spread Sakura's legs as wide as they could possibly go, granting her full access as she ate Sakura's pussy, burying her entire mouth in it and making faint slurping sounds every now and then. The simple action succeeded in arousing Sakura so much that her juices had begun to overflow.
'Sakura's flowing like a river! She's already this wet and she hasn't even reached her orgasm yet!' Ino thought in amazement as she struggled to slurp up every drop of Sakura's sweet nectar.
Moaning uncontrollably, Sakura tangled her hands in Ino's hair and began to buck up against Ino's face, escalating her pleasure and causing the tension in her abdomen to become more intense. Feeling Ino brush against her clitoris, Sakura couldn't hold it back any longer. With a lust filled cry of Ino's name, Sakura finally had her first orgasm. Knowing what was coming, Ino covered Sakura's entire opening with her mouth, allowing the girl's juicies to jet down her throat. After swallwoing every last drop, Ino took her mouth off of Sakura's moist vagina and allowed the girl to catch her breath.
As Sakura began to come down from her afterglow, Ino moved up and captured Sakura in a kiss, allowing the pink-haired girl to taste herself on Ino's lips. Sakura wrapped her arms around Ino's shoulders and pulled the girl closer to her as her tongue lavished Ino's mouth, wanting to taste more of herself. Finally breaking apart, Sakura gazed lustfully into Ino's eyes.
"Ino, that felt like...the most incredible moment of my life." Sakura said as she caught her breath. "I didn't know it would feel that good."
Ino smirked again.
"I'll pleasure you anyway you want me to Sakura." she said after pecking Sakura on the lips. "Just tell me what you want and I'll do it."
Though Sakura didn't even have to think about what she wanted to do next.
"May I...taste you too, Ino?" Sakura asked softly with a slight blush.
"Of course love."
Ino gave Sakura one more peck on the lips before moving forward and positioning herself over Sakura's head. Overcome with excitement, Sakura opened her mouth eagerly as Ino lowered her wet pussy into her mouth, firmly sitting on Sakura's face. At that point, instinct took over and Sakura began to suck hard on Ino's pussy, using her tongue to get a better taste of her lover. That sinful tongue began to drive Ino wild as she began to moan excitedly and thrust her hips into Sakura's mouth. Wanting to please Ino further, Sakura placed her hands on either of Ino's hips, grasping the larger female's plump ass and thereby stilling her thrusting. Sakura closed her eyes and relished in the feel of not only Ino's sex, but also the softness of the round globes in her hands. Looking up, Sakura became captivated by Ino's tits as they bounced and jiggled every time the girl above her squirmed.
After letting her tongue have it's fun, Sakura latched onto Ino's clitoris and began to suck on the bundle of nerves firmly while teasing it with her tongue at the same time. By now, Ino was almost screaming in pleasure, her skin becoming flushed with a light reddish tint. Finally, after a few more hard sucks, Ino reached her peak. Sakura braced herself as she felt Ino's juices gush into her mouth like a waterfall, quickly filling her mouth and forcing her to swallow or risk choking. Somehow though, Sakura managed to successfully swallow all of it.
After coming down from her high and catching her breath, Ino moved back over Sakura and offered her large tits to the girl, who gladly latched onto one while kneading the other one. Ino allowed Sakura to suckle as much she wanted before moving down in between Sakura's legs. Ino then began to trail a line of kisses down Sakura's leg, starting near her core and kissing and licking all the way to her foot, enjoying the taste of the salty, smooth skin. She then moved and did the same to the other one. After giving equal attention to both of Sakura's legs, Ino gently lifted one of Sakura's legs again and positioned herself so that her pussy was aligned with Sakura's. Looking up and recieving a confirming nod from Sakura, Ino closed the distance between their heated cores and both females let out a deep moan as their vaginas finally came into contact with each other. The sudden surge of pleasure caused Ino to stop for a moment after becoming slightly lightheaded. Despite the sudden stop in her actions, Ino still caught Sakura's next words.
"Ino-chan...love me. Make me yours." Sakura breathed out, aroused beyond what words could describe.
Overcome with determination to give her lover as much pleasure as possible, Ino began to vertically grind her clit against Sakura's, who also began to grind back against her partner, thus escalating their pleasure. Encouraged by Sakura's deep, sensual moans, Ino increased her tempo and started grinding harder against her lover's pussy. For Ino, this was like a dream come true. This was what she'd always imagined since discovering what love was: Sakura under her and writhing in mind blowing pleasure. As she looked into Sakura's eyes, the amount of lust and desire she saw almost made her cum right then and there. It filled her with satisfaction to know that she was the one pleasuring Sakura like this. She was the only one who could make Sakura feel this way, and it was her name that Sakura was moaning non-stop.
Sakura herself was in absolute bliss. She'd had no idea sex could feel like this. Sure she'd read about it and heard stories about it from the other girls at the Ninja Academy, but actually experiencing it was something out of this world! Not only that, seeing Ino's titties jiggle again was making her horny as hell, even more so than she already was. If Ino was actually capable of pleasing her like this, then she'd gladly let Ino take her as many times as she wanted, no questions asked.
Feeling their passion begin to peak again, both females moved with the other with all their love, trying to push the other to climax first. Wanting to feel more, Sakura pushed a finger between their "point of contact" and both girls nearly blacked out from the explosion of intense pleasure that washed over them, which was then made even stronger when Sakura began to wiggle her finger. Knowing that she was almost there, Ino held out both her hands as she continued to grind against the girl under her.
"Sakura, let's cum together this time, okay love?" Ino said passionately.
Sakura gave a nod and grasped both of Ino's hands, allowing the larger female to move faster against her. With a cry of each other's name, both females reached their orgasm at the same time, their juices mixing together and shooting into the other's slit. Being the first one to come down, Ino tore her pussy away from Sakura's and collapsed beside her panting lover. After Sakura had finished catching her breath, the two simply laid there, naked and staring up at the ceiling.
"Sakura, are you sure this is what you want? I mean, if you have regrets and want to pretend this never happened, I understand." Ino said.
For a moment, Sakura said was silent. A few moments later, she began to chuckle softly.
"Ino, I wouldn't have done this with you if I wasn't sure about it. I'll gladly spend the rest of my life with you." Sakura finally replied.
"Well, if you're sure. Although, I hope you're aware of the fact that people are going to talk about us now, right? And you're parents are going to have a cow when they find out! They might even disown you, being as homophobic as they are." Ino warned.
"Who gives a fuck? People can talk all they want. As long as I'm with you, it doesn't matter what they think. And honestly, I don't care if my parents find out. If they disown me, then that's their loss. No matter what I have to go through from here on out, I'll gladly face it, so long as I'm with the one I love, even if that person happens to be another woman." Sakura said as she affectionately reached over and stroked the side of Ino's face, causing her to blush deeply.
Hearing the words that she'd always wanted to hear, Ino rubbed her face up against Sakura's hand and pulled the girl beneath her with almost no effort at all. With all the passion she could muster, Ino made love to Sakura again, and again...and again. After having fucked for almost 3 and half more hours, both females lay exhausted on the soft carpeted floor, covered in a mixture of sweat and each other's juices. After gathering enough of her strength, Ino picked Sakura up off the floor bridal style and carried her to the bed. To tired to move, Sakura allowed Ino to lay her in her bed and pull the covers over her. After tucking her in, Ino slipped under the covers herself and turned out the lamp on the nightstand beside her bed. Sakura then snuggled up into Ino's soft chest and fell asleep almost instantly.
Wrapping her arms around her rival-turned-lover, Ino kissed the top of her head and finally slipped into a peaceful sleep after so many restless nights since 'that day.'
Hope you all enjoyed the chapter and don't forget to review. I'm really sorry it took this long to finally post a new chapter, but I finally got around to doing it. Anyway, this is the last chapter for the InoxSakura pairing. From here on out, it's back to Naruto and Sasuke. The NejixShikamaru pairing won't come along till after the Chunin Exams. Like I said in the above bold lettering, I deeply apologize if this sort of got off topic, but the focus will finally go back to our favorite pairing in the next chapter. I'd also like to apologize if the chapter is rather long. Originally, the lemon wasn't going to be till after the next chapter, but then I decided I wasn't going to have you guys wait that long, so I combined it just to get it out of the way. I thank you all for being patient and I really hope you all enjoyed it. If you didn't, feel free to tell me, but please go easy on the flames, okay?
