Quick summary: This is a chapter that is quote "One that you'd wanna read
again." – justcallmeeri. It is when about Sakura and Ino, and the aftermath
of Sakura falling from the sakura tree.
Sakura was still sleepy after that incident the day before. She stayed in bed a lot, and was really lazy. She couldn't explain it, but her mind was exhausted.
Her parents were worried about it for a little while, so they decided to let her sleep it off. That didn't do much good, for what she needed was a little kick, to get her back on track. Not even her own self, knew what her mind was trying to say.
Even our friend inner sakura, was slacking in her sharp, quick, energetic, snappy comments. Her eyes were dimmed and her mind blank. She felt like Shikamaru acted. Everything was far too troublesome.
Even the thought of Sasuke was too troublesome. She just decided to give up on him and let whoever got to him first take her role. She didn't care anymore.
Our pink-headed, Sasuke devotee, didn't care about being a ninja anymore either. She didn't care about Ino getting Sasuke, or losing to the arrogantly clingy blonde.
'Yeah, Ino has pretty blue eyes that match her pretty blonde hair, and I'm sure Sasuke would like her. Maybe I was getting in the way of Ino... They deserve each other, they'd be happy, and have a big family, and I can go to sleep...' were Sakura's thoughts on Ino.
To tell the absolute truth, Ino was the only thing she could care and/or think about. She really didn't care or think about anything else... She was never bored, because she slept so much.
3 days had passed since she had fallen out of the sakura tree. Yes, she fell, but luckily, Iruka passed by and caught her before she hit the ground. Her mother was beginning to be seriously concerned with her daughter's physical and mental well being, so she had called a doctor.
The doctor had never seen such a thing and had simply dubbed it as a passing sleep schedule error. But her insightful mom knew there was more to it, than simply that.
She tried to question her little Sakura, but Sakura's speech was slow and lazy. It was difficult to get more than a few sentences out of her. But her mother persisted.
After awhile of persistent questioning, Sakura went into a state of semi- conscious hypnosis and told her mother EXACTLY what was on her mind in clear straight words.
"Ino... Ino... I wish... That we... could be friends again... I really like you Ino... I don't even know why I liked Sasuke... Maybe it was because after I found out that you liked him, I had mixed feelings... I wanted to be just like you, but I wanted to back off for you, so you could have him. So I decided that I wanted to be like you, and then... We weren't friends anymore... so my small feelings for Sasuke grew because I tricked myself into thinking I liked him, because I had to fill the hole you had made in my heart... because I really love you Ino..." Sakura admitted.
Thinking her mother was Ino, Sakura gave her mother a very weak hug, and she collapsed in her caretaker's arm. Sakura passed out for 3 hours.
Her mother found it to be a good idea to snap Sakura out of it by calling Ino over. This had to be the cause of the problem.
Even though she was Sakura's rival, Yamanga Ino couldn't let her ex-best friend wither away to a mental nothing. She was relived that she could help Sakura out, because Sakura's mother was worried sick, and Ino had nothing against the woman that gave birth to her rival, just her rival.
Sakura's mother thought it to be innocent that her daughter 'loved' Ino. She merely passed it as a pure affection. But was it? Or was it the way you interpret the word 'love', but then again, it has many meanings.
Ino arrived at their home, and had that smug smirk on her face. She believed that cherry-blossom namesake girl was faking it.
But Yamanga changed her opinion when she laid her blue eyes upon her unconscious rival.
"Sakura-chan?!" Ino asked nervously. The smirk on her face disappeared and a solemn frown came upon her lips.
Ino jogged to the seemingly lifeless Sakura. Out of mere anxiety, Ino violently shook her friend.
Sakura was jolted to life. Her jade eyes sprang open, and she gasped for oxygen as if she had been underwater.
Ino was hugging her tightly. Sakura's eyes were unnaturally spread open.
Ino's sky-blue eyes met sakura's grass green iris' and there was a silence.. Ino was still embracing Sakura, but they gazed into each other.
Sakura could not control herself and embraced Ino, screaming 'INO-CHAN' at the top of her normal voice.
She raised her hands up to the Yamanga girl's face, and brought it to her own in a small passionate kiss.
Ino resisted, but it wasn't an unwanted feeling... She felt it was very strange, but she was stuck in the moment, and her rival's aura melded into her own.
Sakura blinked slowly and released the innocent blonde teenager. She saw the terrified expression on Ino's face and she burst out bawling.
Out of fear and pure shock, she got up as fast as she could and she ran out of the house like someone was trying to kill her.
As Ino ran, her tears streaked her face as they sparkled off into the atmosphere. She felt bad for deserting Sakura, and running like she was mad, but she couldn't help it.
Ino ran to her teammates, the well-rounded boy, chouji, and the laziest person in the world, Shikamaru.
Without realizing, and without much care, she flung herself dramatically into chouji's arms, and sobbed. She fell to her knees.
Shikamaru rolled his eyes, for he knew it wasn't a life-or-death situation his teammate had been in. "How troublesome." He moaned. Chouji quickly glared at Shikamaru, and comforted Ino. They had never seen her cry before.
"What's wrong, Ino?" Chouji questioned, comfortingly. Shikamaru reached over and patted Ino's back nonchalantly.
Ino choked on a sob. "Sakura... kissed me!!!" Ino cried. The bored look on Shikamaru's face vanished and in came a look of utter, jolting surprise.
However, it was short lived, his expressions regressed into his not interested self. "I don't believe this... Girls are WAY too troublesome." He sighed and spectated as he saw the frozen look of incomprehension and astonishment that was glued to Choji's chubby face.
He was so stunned, Ino slipped right out of his paralyzed arms. Ino curled herself up into a sobbing ball.
Shikamaru shrugged "how troublesome, but I am the only person here..." and kept tapping chouji, until he would eventually snap out of it.
