Chapter 4: More Than Friends

"Sakura, I love you."

Oh my god! Oh my god! I cannot believe I just said that! I bet Sakura hates me now. She'll never wanna even see me again, or speak to me for that matter. God, oh why god, did I just tell her.

Damn that Sasuke!

"I'm so sorry Sakura! If you don't wanna be my friend anymore, I understand. But, I guess that's how it is. I'll go pack my things and leave. My mom might not like that fact that I'll be calling her so late but—" I laughed nervously, "—y'know how parents are. Right Sakura? Oh, please don't hate me. I promise I'll—"

I was cut short when the most surprising thing happened.

Sakura leaned forward and kissed me back. Hers lasted longer and felt so kind. I blushed.

"Sakura? What did you—?" I asked, breathless from shock.

"What ever made you think I wouldn't wanna be your friend anymore? You've been the best friend who was always there for me. Why would I hate you?" She whispered sweetly. I shrugged lightly.

Do you love me? Sakura? Do you feel these feelings I do?

Oh, tell me Sakura!

"Yes, Ino. I truly do love you too. You stayed by my side. Even though you insulted me often, with the big-forehead girl thing, I still loved you. I didn't know why. You kept my love alive, even through our rivalry for Sasuke. I love you. I know it. You know it." She spoke too much, but all of it was needed and well used because it all made my heart go all pitter-patter.

Sakura leaned back in. I mirrored her. We met in between. Our lips together once again. I moved to the side to get more of her kiss. I jumped when something wet touched my bottom lip. By reflex, I backed away. Staring her in those eyes, I frowned.

"What was that?"

Sakura licked her lips, "You taste good Ino." I laughed knowing she was joking around.

She was, right?

"Sakura, are you feeling al—" I couldn't speak anymore. She caught me off guard. Her hot tongue entered my mouth without warning. It learned the areas of my mouth, earning a moan from deep within my throat.

I fought for dominance. Sakura allowed it, letting me have my turn learning her mouth.

A pain in our lungs, screaming for air, forced us to let go. We breathed in unison, catching our breath.

Almost in the same way we see Sasuke and Naruto, we made out. Hands in shirts. Hands on legs. Hair in our eyes. Tongues dancing.

Heaven.

Is this heaven?

.

We fell asleep in that same bed that night, but this time we were closer together and in each other's arms for warmth. I loved the feeling. Sakura close to me. Each breath – in and out – at the same time. Each time. We slept like that.

Neither of us awoke until about 11:00 AM the next morning. I remember her moms face when she saw us so close together, arms around each other.

"What our you doing?!" She screeched. Racing over towards the bed we slept on, she pulled us apart roughly. Grabbing me by the hair, she pulled my to the nearest phone in the house. I was forced to call my parents and get them over here right away.

My mom came at noon. She and Sakuras' mom had a nice long talk, while Sakura and I were allowed some more time together.

"What're we going to do now?" Sakura was on the verge of tears.

I held her close and kissed her forehead, "Hey, it's alright. My mom is very understanding. She can make so we'll see each other again. Don't worry. And if we're unable to meet over the summer, there's always school starting up in late August.... I think. Yeah."

She looked me in the eyes, "This is why I love you so much."

"Hmm, why?" I stared at her questionably.

A light kiss on the lips. "Because you're so nice. Aishiteru Ino."

"Aishiteru Sakura."

We stayed together until my mom came and took me home.

.

In the car with my mom.

"Why didn't you tell me you loved Sakura? I could've helped you through this crisis."

I sweat dropped, "What?! You know, most moms would freak out when they discovered a secret like this. But, you.... You're weird."

She smiled, "I try."

Ah, yes. My super-understandable-mom. Yep, I love her. Hey! Not like THAT you freaks.

.

When I got home, I called Sasuke.

"Hey Ino! How'd it go? Did you tell her?" He asked. Why has he been so nice to everyone lately? Maybe Naruto is getting to him.

I sighed, "Yeah."

"Well? What happened?" He asked.

"I-I kissed her and told her." I admitted. I was asking myself, why do I tell him my secrets now? Whatever.

"And…?" Jeez, what was with him? Nosy! I told him anyway.

"She told me that she loved me too, and we kissed….. A lot." I blushed as I said it.

He laughed, "That's almost exactly how it happened with me. Well, hey, hope it works out. I gotta go," he said, then in a deep whispering voice he ended, "Naruto's here."

He hung up. So did I.

It was great to have gotten the advice from a friend. Not really a friend, but now he is. I don't think I'm going to fall in love with him, like I did with my other friend. Without his help, I probably would never have told Sakura, and then where would I be? Hurting myself, probably, out of lack of love from the one I love.

Did that make any sense?

It doesn't matter. I'm in love. And she loves me back. Nothing else matters. I'm happy. Me and Sakura will find a way to make our love better, without her mothers' support. We'll be free.

I really do sound like a very sappy person now, don't I? Ha! That's great! I'm losing my original personality just because I fell in a forbidden love. But, they can't stop us.

Not now, not ever.

Soon, after I talked to Sasuke, I called Sakura.

She picked up the phone and chirped:

"Hey Ino!"

Owari! (not really, I plan on an epilogue ^_^)

Yeah, like I said, there might be an epilogue.

This story actually came out way better than expected. I've been told to become a writer. But. No. That's not me.

I thank you all who reviewed, and even those who didn't.

I'm surprised I got no flames. Wow! ^0^

I dedicate this story to my bestest friend in the world, Orrin-chan! I love ya! (Not like that!)

Please give me ideas for a new story. I have all the inspiration I need, and I really wanna work on another story, but I have no plot, and there's my problem.

R&R

I'll see ya later.

Review Corner (sorry there wasn't one last time):

Chisaii Shinobi: Thanks. But, you know it's not wrong for a girl to read yuri fics. Doesn't matter if you're straight or not.

Tsuki Okami: That's good to know that someone else out there is like me. I still haven't confessed really (except for that note in the last chappie), but I hope things go well with you and your friend.

Miszy-Anne: I don't know if you know, but I reallllllllyyyyyy LOVE cliffhangers, it makes my fans come back to me, and want more story.

gaarasand: Don't ask me why I added that scene with the camera. I thought it would be good. So, yeah... There aren't many stories that have Ino/Saku pairings. I can't figure out why? Oh, well.

Bye!
