A Bad Day For Ino Part 2

Sasuke stood in front of the gates around Konoha. Effortlessly, he leaped over the wall and landed on the wet ground within. It was still raining heavily since that morning and the ground was a muddy mess.

Looking around he saw that no villagers were outside. The street was completely deserted. Sasuke threw his head back to fling rain water out of his raven black hair, but it was useless, rain was pouring and just soaked it over again.

Konoha High School

Ino and Shikamaru made their way to their lunch table. It had been the most miserable morning of their lives. Ino tugged at her overall strap.

"I hate these things, there so uncomfortable!" she moaned, attempting to straighten out the seat of her shorts.

"It's so troublesome." Shikamaru said as he nodded.

"Why do these even come in our size? I mean, who do you know that's fourteen and wears overalls?" Ino practically screamed as they sat down across from Naruto and Hinata.

"What are you two wearing? " Naruto asked as he dropped his sandwich.

"Long story." Shikamaru groaned.

Tenten and Neji joined them on either side of the table.

"Uh, Ino, you know your wearing childish overalls, right?" Tenten asked sitting down next to her.

"Yeah." Mumbled Ino staring at the ground.

Neji sat down next to Naruto and across from Tenten, staring oddly at Ino and Shikamaru.

"Well its not that bad…" Tenten started.

"Its horrible!" Ino moaned.

"Only because pink isn't really your color." Tenten said.

Then Chouji sat down on the other side of Hinata and sniggered when he saw Shikamaru.

"Nice outfit, man." He laughed.

"Shut up." Shikamaru said through clenched teeth.

"Ino you shouldn't wear pink ever." A voice said.

Ino and Tenten looked up to see Temari.

"You look like shit."

"Thanks." Ino said dryly.

"But seriously why are you wearing that crap?"

"My clothes got wet walking to school and this is all Shizune had for school clothes." Ino explained looking back at her feet.

"Shit, that has to suck!" Temari said sitting beside Neji.

"Yeah it kinda does."

"Well you're halfway done with today!" Tenten said trying to sound optimistic.

Just then the bell for the end of lunch sounded and the whole cafeteria erupted with kids leaving for their next classes.

Ino moaned and slapped her forehead.

"Come on." Shikamaru said as he took Ino's hand in his.

She nodded solemnly and stood up beside him. He leaned close to her.

"We should be going to class." She breathed.

"I know." He whispered into her ear and stepped closer to her.

Ino looked into his face, which was kind and gentle looking. He slipped his finger under her chin, forcing her to look straight. Then he moved toward her as if to kiss her when…

BRRINNGG! BRRINNGG!

The bell rang for everyone to be in their next classroom. Looking around at the deserted cafeteria, Ino picked up her bag.

"Come on, Shikama…" she was cut off by Shikamaru, as he grabbed her by the shoulders and pressed his mouth against hers. Without even thinking she threw her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss.

Suddenly though, she realized that it was Shikamaru she was kissing. Not Sasuke-kun, Shikamaru, her kindergarten sandbox pal, her middle school homework partner, her friend.

Ino shoved Shikamaru back and wiped her mouth of with her sleeve. His face looked shocked and appalled.

Tears streamed down Ino's face as she grabbed her bag.

"What were you THINKING!" she screamed.

And she ran out of the cafeteria as fast as her overalls would let her.

End
