~All I Have to Give~
Ino dug her foot under the warm sand as she sat comfortably on the soft surface of the beach. Her blonde hair was now held down and some strands were hanging in front of her face in a natural way while her long mane gently brushed against the sand.
Her eyes looked out at the ocean and into the crystal blue waters. The breeze streamed past slowly leaving a scent of the fresh salt from the waters. Ino then leaned back onto her elbows and then realized that there were only her footsteps in the whole area. Ino looked to her side as if to expect Sasuke to be there.
He wasn't there.
Just then, Ino saw Sasuke set himself down onto the sand beside her. His black bangs flowed with the wind and his black eyes then looked at Ino. She looked away and the two of them sat in silence.
"So....where were you?" Ino sat up and glanced at Sasuke who was looking back at the house, "I've been waiting for you out here,"
"I had some stuff to do," Sasuke simply responded.
"I see," Ino wasn't at all persuaded by Sasuke's pretext.
Sasuke noticed that Ino wasn't like herself and asked her, "Is everything ok, Ino?"
"Yeah," Ino replied.
After that, the couple sat together and looked at the sunset together. It was a romantic setting, but only one thing was missing...they weren't in each other's arms.
"It's a beautiful sunset, huh?" Ino moved closer to Sasuke, and he didn't answer. His eyes were obviously looking back to the house, "Sasuke!" Ino raised her voice as if trying to get a schoolboy to pay attention in class.
Sasuke's head then darted back and looked at Ino. Ino was expecting an apology, but all he did was just sit there without even opening his mouth to engage in a conversation. Ino then realized that throughout their whole relationship, she was the only one actually making an effort in the conversation. Ino then decided to break the ice, and she wanted to know if their relationship with each other was genuine.
"Do you love me?" Ino simply asked him while her eyes were laid on the sunset.
Sasuke then broke his gaze and looked at his girlfriend and then looked at the sand.
"Sasuke, it's a simple yes or no question. Do you love me?" this time Ino slowly moved her head towards Sasuke and patiently waited for his answer.
Sasuke didn't answer.
Ino then got up with her clothes covered with sand. Sasuke noticed and all he could say was, "Ino?"
Ino clasped her hands together into a fist and it shook with confusion and distress. Her blonde hair felt limp from her shoulders and her clothes were covered with sand. Sasuke then got up and reached for Ino. Surprisingly, Ino slapped his hand away from her.
"What's wrong Ino?" Sasuke opened his arms, but Ino didn't run into them.
"What's wrong, Sasuke?? You're telling me what's wrong?" Ino could feel warm tears streaming down her cheeks, "Everything. Everything is wrong, Sasuke!!" Ino covered her face while she cried.
Sasuke went over and wrapped his arms around her, but Ino pushed away from his embrace. "Don't." Ino rejected him.
Sasuke then basically put his hands in his pockets and looked at Ino whose face was now blotchy and red from the sobbing.
"What are you going to do Sasuke? Just stand there??" Ino wiped the tears from her face with her hands.
Sasuke held up his hands up in defeat and then told her, "Well, what am I supposed to do if you keep on pushing me away when I try to comfort you?"
Ino then realized that she did push Sasuke away from her when she was weeping. She pushed him away. The blonde couldn't believe what she did. All these years she had always wished to be in his arms, and now she got what she wanted. Ino was now his girlfriend, but she felt that her heart wasn't whole when she was with him. And now, she pushed Sasuke away, and worst of all, they haven't had their first kiss, yet!
Later, there was a cold breeze which then shivered down Ino's spine, the cold then made Sasuke break the silence between them. "I don't think we should go on like this, anymore." Ino was startled by those words and then calmly walked to Sasuke, and her blonde hair was now flowing with the wind.
"Why?" Ino asked. She ran toward him and started to cry. Ino tried to embrace Sasuke, but he refused it. She then started hitting his chest and yelling out, "Why?? Sasuke, why??"
There was no response, again, because Ino found Sasuke looking back at the house again, "Sasuke, what is it in that house that's more important than you and me?" Sasuke didn't answer and kept on gazing at the beach house. This time Ino looked at the abode and she froze still in her position.
Out on the balcony was two people talking and engaging into a warm and comfortable conversation. This then ate out of Ino's heart because she's always wanted it to happen to Sasuke, but that will never happen.
"Sasuke, we can be like that." Ino tried to smile, but his black eyes were still gazed at the couple. Ino was confused and then watched more closely to the two people and then only a gasp came out of Ino's mouth.
The laugh
The pink hair
The big forehead
Sasuke was looking at her.
Ino couldn't stand him looking at her rival, and so she cupped his face with her wet hands and turned his head to face hers. Her fingers caressed his face, and traced his facial features softly.
"Why, Sasuke? What do you like in her that I don't have?" Ino still held Sasuke's face and there was a blank expression on it.
"Her patience," Sasuke answered Ino's question.
Ino let go of Sasuke and then started to laugh. "Patience? Are you sure we're talking about the same girl here?" Ino couldn't help but laugh because the Sakura she knew would do anything to have Sasuke, "Sakura is not at all patient. Haven't you even noticed the way she has been trying to get her paws on you ever since she met you?"
"Yes, but has she done that while I was with you?" his response made Ino stop laughing, "Exactly, Ino. Ever since we were together she let me go, and stopped chasing me. Now would you do that if Sakura and I were together?"
Ino felt threatened by Sasuke's last words, and then retorted back, "Yes, I would! Sasuke, I've loved you ever since we met. Sakura and I sacrificed our friendship because of you." Ino confessed.
Sasuke then nodded in agreement, and Ino shook her head in disapproval. Just then, Ino realized something, and she popped Sasuke the question.
"You like her, don't you?"
Sasuke looked at Ino and without even giving a response; he slowly walked up to the house leaving an astonished Ino alone on the beach. When he left, the smallest tide then crept up the surface and washed over his tracks.
~*~
Back on the balcony Sakura and Rock Lee were talking. Rock Lee smiled and winked at her, and Sakura blushed.
"Sakura-san, did I ever tell you that you've grown more beautiful inside and out ever since I met you?" Rock Lee complimented Sakura, which then made Sakura shake her hands in denial.
"Me, beautiful? No..." Sakura then made a sniffle and looked down at her feet. Rock Lee scratched his head and then scooted his chair closer to Sakura and asked her what was the matter.
"Nothing," Sakura tried to creep up a smile.
"It's me, isn't it? I knew that I was unworthy of your love. Sakura-san, I have failed," Rock Lee slumped down his shoulders and Sakura comforted him.
"Lee-san, you haven't failed." Sakura rubbed his back.
"But it's just that...well...you don't like me," Rock Lee had his bubbly black eyes shine at Sakura.
Sakura smiled and comforted Rock Lee, "No, it's not that. We can be friends," Her green eyes smiled with kindness and warmth.
Rock Lee's eyes looked as if they were going to cry, but instead he hugged Sakura. Being friends with her was better than not having a relationship at all, since Rock Lee realized that there could be no possible chemistry between them, and he's fine with it. ^^
When he pulled apart from the embrace, he looked into those glistening emerald eyes; he knew that he had made the right choice. To break the stillness between them, Rock Lee asked Sakura a question. "Do you have someone on your mind, Sakura-san?" Rock Lee could tell when he looks into Sakura's eyes.
Sakura blushed slightly and smiled.
"Yes, very much, Lee-san...very much," Sakura embraced Rock Lee, "speaking of 'someone', Lee-san...do you have someone on your mind, also?"
This question then made Rock Lee blush and Sakura giggled. She bent closer and asked who it was, and Rock Lee shrugged. ^^
"Uh, Sakura-san...I have to go, I will see you tomorrow," Rock Lee flashed one of his Crest smiles and then ran out into the room near the balcony.
"I wonder who it could be..........." Sakura put a finger to her chin and tried to figure out who he could possibly like, and then a surprised look came onto her face and fell out of her chair, ".......could...could it be?" Sakura put a shaking finger up as if she found out the answer.
(I know who Lee-san likes!!!! HELL YEAH!!!)
Sakura stood up and patted her dress to remove some dust and then leaned over with her elbows the balustrade of the balcony with her long locks of pink hair flew with the small breeze.
A/N: Who could Rock Lee like???????? Hehe...^^ Guess what???? Thank you for all the votes!!! Remember that...if you put the votes in the reviews, I am gonna have to disregard it...*sniff sniff* ^^ And just to let you know...a little sneak peek...
