Summary: Because Ino is not perfect
Author's Notes: Because the fluff and luff of the last 2 drabbles made me crave an angst drabble :D Now, I still love Ino... and I must admit, my angst really, REALLY sucks... but, c'mon, no ones perfect. Give it a try, please? D: And the random hints at NaruIno were inspired after I read some of Kaara's fics, and I started to love this pairing. Oh, and Thanks to all that reviewed the last two! You all rock so hard. D': You move me to tears, seriously. I'm glad you guys are enjoying them. :3

If Ino wasn't such a prideful person, she would admit that many of the rookie 9 were better than her. Naruto, Sasuke, Shikamaru- hell, even Sakura had the ability to be better than her, if she'd just stop obsessing over her appearance. Sadly for her, what she lacks in every other trait, she seems to make up for in pride, so she will never acknowledge any of her fellow genin.

If Ino was a more honest person, she'd be able to admit that she hated Sasuke. The bastard had taken away one of her best friends, however unintentional, so she hated him. But Ino is a liar at heart, so she continues to cling onto his back in a poor attempt to prove her love to him.

If Ino were a smarter person, she would realize that Sasuke was a lost cause, and give up on him. She would instead turn to one of her admirers-- she had many, after all. Admirers who would respect her and love her the way the Uchiha wouldn't, but Ino is an idiot, so she continues to pine after the angst-ridden young man.

If Ino were a braver person, she would have admitted-- at least to herself-- that the person she truly loved was not Sasuke, but his often overlooked teammate, the one with the dirty blond hair, crooked, too-wide grin, and fox-like face. But Ino is a coward, so she shoves down her growing affections for the Dead-Last, and instead focuses her attention on the best genin of their year, because someone as perfect as her deserves better.

If Ino truly was a perfect person, she would forgive Sakura, admire her teammate's bravery and skill, give Sasuke the finger, and realize her feelings for a certain loud-mouthed blond in Team 7. Ino, however, has many flaws, so she instead gives Sakura the finger, forgives and loves Sasuke, belittles her teammates, and ignores the third member in Team 7 because he is not deserving of someone like her. Because she is not perfect, no matter how much she likes to tell herself that she is.

Uh... any tips on how I can make better angst:D Any concrit is welcome, I know my angst skills need some help lol. It did not help that I was listening to peppy music while writing this. D': I should have listened to Anathema, dammit D ! Hehe, any ways... you know the drill. :3
