A/N: This chappie's for the fans and more for the fact that I keep beating myself over the head for not ending it the way I wanted to.

Gold.Digger.: I LUFFS YOU!

Dragonfly and K-Chan: Thank you so much!

KAORI'S RANT
To everyone who reads this rant I want to thank you for being supportive. Especially Xinthos. She pretty much kept me updating that fast, gave me constructive criticism and yelled at me for killing off Ino. Among other things she has won my review prize! YAY! She gets a FanFic of anything she wants. I would also like to thank the anonymous idiot who pointed out that the Ino in my fic isn't the same as the one in the Animanga. I know this. This is my imagination and my fic, dammit! I'll do what I feel like! Anyways, thank you to my fans! I live for you!...Okay not really, but be happy you're vaguely mentioned in here at all. .

Chapter 8: Awkward Beauty

POV SAKURA

Tekumaru…Hana…Naoya…Kana…Yukie…Haruna…

With the sextuplets my hands are full…It's been barely a week and I've already found it hard to move on. Everyone's been there for me, but not like you were. I miss you desperately as time goes on. As the village has began living, I'm still stuck standing here sullen, hopeless and lost.

At some memories my eyes are puffy and red in mere seconds. But I refuse to give in. I haven't fallen into a million pieces because of our children. I also am slowly learning that since you died doesn't mean you didn't love me. Because life is like photography. We can use the negatives to develop.

Furtively I search for any form of hope that you and I can be together again. My memories overcome me.

Naruto came over looking overly frantic. "Sakura…I…follow me…"

I stared at him. "No. Not until you tell me why the hell you're like this."

Naruto looked at his feet, his bags hanging over his features making them look eerily dark. He took in a very un-Naruto like ragged breath and became very ancy on his feet. Something had happened.

Continuing to administer my Glare of Doom, I locked and squared off my jaw. Being frenetic I was half tempted to smack this alternative personality of his out and demand the world happy, be it against their will or not. Naruto could probably see this by the way that Inner Sakura was hovering so close to the surface.

When he looked up tears had stung the corners of his usually exuberant aqueous blue eyes.

"It's…it's Ino…" he trailed.

I began to shake. "It's bad isn't it…" I said as my stability hit empty, voice cracking.

"She's dead. Suicide."

My world hit rock bottom. And within moments I was in hysterics. Hiccoughing and hyperventilating.

I felt lightheaded and I blanked out.

---

"Saaaakkkkuuuurrrraaaaa…Saaaakkkkuuuurrrraaaaa…" A soothing voice called.

"SAKURA!"

I sat up to find myself on a couch with Naruto hanging over me.

"We got to go. Come on."

"Losing a loved one is to have one's heart ripped open. For us to lose, is to gain. It's sardonic in a way. It's like that rope ladder you're afraid to climb in gym because of your fear of heights. But given a reward all fears are set aside. We will compete and complete for that reward. Ino had her rewards but she never saw them. She saw her flaws in such objectives. She had said to have had flaws in beauty and love. Perhaps she thought her wrongs were etched all across her face. Maybe if she had seen that we're all equal in weaknesses and strengths. Because we're all perfect in weakness, perfect in just our strengths alone. Becoming an orphan just recently, I had learned this. I broke myself to build myself back up becoming stronger skipping over a few minor milestones on the way. As I continue to dwell on Ino's recent departure and ponder why she just became another whisper in the wind. She had come out of an addiction caused relapse and shot her depression all too holy hell. Trying to rebuild herself she slipped, fell and lost the manual. I loved her very much and I direly wish for here to with us today. But all good things must come to and end. Hers was just earlier than expected. I miss you Ino. And always fucking will." I finished tears choking me, and smothering my speech. Tsunade guided back to my seat where our six beautiful babies sat, dressed in black dresses and suits.

---

Kana began to whine. I put a bottle in her mouth and gave one to the others who followed suit. Shikamaru put his arm around me. "Let's go home." Pushing three of the sextuplets and Shika pushing the other three, we made our way back to his apartment.

---

After putting the babies to bed, I went up onto the roof.

The moon shone bright through the clouds. I thought about how after you left Shikamaru was there for me. We fell in love, not pushing you out but including you. Shika adopted our babies. He helps us. We plan on getting married sometime soon. This is all because I know that you would want me to be happy.

Shika calls me inside for the night. But we know I'll be back here tomorrow. On our roof. Waiting to talk to you. Even though you don't answer, I know you're listening.

You always are…

A/N: I love this chappie for no reason whatsoever. Lol. Love yah.
