She calls me from the cold
Just when I was low, feeling short of stable
And all that she intends
And all she keeps inside, isn't on the label

The phone rang. The low glow on his alarm clock told him not to pick up. Only one person would call at this time of night. He pick the receive substituting a yawn for hello. "It's 3 o'clock in the morning. We can talk about it at training. Go to sleep Ino." He hung up before she could say a word. The Phone rang again. He picked up but didn't speak.

She says she's ashamed
And she can take me for a while
And can I be a friend, we'll forget the past

But maybe I'm not able

"What happened before didn't." She sniffled. "It doesn't matter. Just forget it ever happened." She sniffled again. "Shika… I…. He." She broke down. He didn't know what to do. Ino didn't cry. Not ever. It had to be something more then what happened earlier. A simple kiss wouldn't do this.

"Ino, I'll be right there."

And I break at the bend

He can't remember the last time he moved so fast. There were battles were his life was on the line and he didn't use this much energy. He was at her window in less then 3 minutes.

We're here and now, but will we ever be again

They stood face to face. He was covered in sweat. She was cover in tears. How could I let this happen. He didn't know what went wrong but he'd take the blame. It didn't matter that she kissed him. I wanted her to. I let her. What if this was how it ended. Their friendship could be over because of a little mistake. What if she couldn't stand him anymore? Fear darted throw out his body. Why'd I let it happen?

'Cause I have found
All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade
Away again

She looked at him but he couldn't help but think she was looking for something else. The fear he felt vanished and a more intense feelings set in. Worry and panic. What could have done this to her? He wishes she'd be mad. Screaming and violence was nothing new. He could handle that. But the hollow look in her eyes. Was the look she had right before using the soul position Jutsu. But it didn't go away. "You know he just left." There was silence. "After all the fighting Me and Sakura did… He didn't want ether of use."

She dreams a champagne dream
Strawberry surprise, pink linen and white paper

He? Who is she talking about? He understood. After all they went throw. After she swore she was over him. It was all a lie. Now it felt like his soul had been ripped out. For a split second he aucually thought she could love him. That he could make her forget about Sasuke Uchiha. I was wrong.

Lavender and cream
Fields of butterfliess, reality escapes her

She still looked past him and but he couldn't bring himself to look away from her. He had to know what she was looking at. He stared into her eyes, all he saw was himself but he knew she wasn't looking at him. Now he knew the truth. She was never looking at me. He looked deeper. He had to see what was behind him. He had to in her eyes. The gates? You're still looking at him.

She says that love is for fools that fall behind
And I'm somewhere in between
I never really know
A killer from a savior

She smiled but it was a smile of defeat. "You know, Love is useless." She paused. "Imagine how strong I'd be if I would have put that energy in to training" For a split second she looked at him. "Shinobi shouldn't fall in love anyway. It brakes almost all the rules."

'Til I break at the bend

He feltlike his heart had been torn to piesces.

We're here and now, but will we ever be again

But I think I love you… Or I did. I don't know anymore.


'Cause I have found
All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade
Away again

Her eyes still appeared lifeless and hollow. You're eye look how I feel. Is this what you feel. How could you do this to me? I would never have done such a thing to you.


It's too far away for me to hold
It's too far away...

His insides were bleeding. His head was filled with questions he wanted to scream. He knew each one would cut her like a blade, so didn't say a word. He just yelled them in his head. You never cared for me. Did you Ino? Not like him. What was I? Just something for you to keep busy with, until he noticed you? I always noticed you. You were too obsessed with him to see. It doesn't matter anymore. Every word was a dagger to his heart but didn't flinch. He'd take the pain for her.

Guess I'll let it go

She broke down in tears and that was it. He could take anymore. What even we were, it's over. From here on out we're teammates. Nothing more. "Good bye Yamanaka". Those were that first and last words he let pass his lips before he jumped form her windowsill. He walked back home in the chill of the night. He didn't notice the rain. He didn't notice that thin line of light that meant dawn was near. He did notice the emptiness that weighted him down. And the friendship that had just become worthless. Most of all he wished he never answered that phone.

Hello the song I use to create this is "Shimmer" by Fuel. I almost cried when I finished this I don't know if it was because it was just that sad or because I tend to fell sorry for Shika whenever Ino's around. Tell me what you think. And thanks for reading.
