I Feel Your Pain-Chapter 5- Explanation Time
IMPORTANT! MUST READ PLEASE!
I plan on making another story soon, since I'm almost finished with this one. It's going to be a band one, you know the deal, Sasuke, Sakura, bands, yadda yadda. I'll post the summaryon the next chapter.
I need you guys' help on something. I couldn't decide on what name I should give the bands. So, I thought up of some names for Sasuke's band and Sakura's band. Please just tell me in your review which should be the name of which band. Thanks!
Sasuke's Band:
Undiluted Resplendency
My Detrimental Remedy
My Living Nonexistance
Morbid Exploitations
Sakura's Band:
The Bright Darkness
My Distilled Sin
Unconcious Recognition
Unequivocal Promises
I know the names really suck, but oh well. I think you guys will like the story, I haven't decided on a name yet, but I've listed some songs that they're going to sing. The songs I picked out are mostly by the same band, except for one or two, and each song deals with Sakura, or Sasuke, or both. You'll see
Recap:
"What's going on?" he asked again, his facial never changing from the ever so common blank face.
Ino smiled nervously, "Okay, here goes...well..everything."
Sakura (Ino's Body) began to explain. "Well...Ino and I were training on the outskirts of Konoha, and the little pig there got the oh-so-wonderful idea of trading places with me so she could get to you. And sadly, it worked," she grumbled. Sasuke kept a blank face but thoughts were racing in his head.
'I've been hanging around Ino this whole time? OMG! I've got to go take a bath with Lysol Disenfectant Spray!' he thought frantically.
"So she's been trying to act like me the whole time, but I'm guessing she did it with no avail," Sakura spat. She sighed. 'He's gonna kill me, I don't think I can take any more...' she thought sadly.
Ino sighed as well. "That's about what happened, Sasuke-kun. I'm sorry," she muttered. Sasuke glared death at her. She stood there in shock. His glare, she'd gotten so many more before, but this was much worse. He glared at her for making his Sakura have to switch places with such a boar. Of course, Ino didn't realize this, nor did Sakura for that matter.
Ino bowed and excused herself. She left the room and slid down the wall just a few inches from the door. She sighed.
'I've seen that glare before though...but, it wasn't at me...it was at Sakura. She's had to deal with that for this long? And it's not as if she's being held against her will...she waits for him...willingly! How does she do it? And I thought I was persistant, that girl..there's something more...true feelings for Sasuke-kun...feelings I cannot express...nor do not have to give...no commitment to him anymore...oh my...what have I done? I'm so sorry Sakura, I'm so sorry,' Ino thought.
"So," Sasuke began. He and Sakura were the only ones in the room since Ino left to go in the hall. Sakura stiffened at his voice. He didn't sound emotionless at all, nor did he sound angry or totally frusturated. He sounded...sad.
"This whole time you were Ino, and Ino was you." he stated more than asked. Sakura nodded. He looked out the window. Sakura (ino's body) walked up and sat down on her bed next to him. "You know how hard it was to go through two straight days with her around?" he asked, still not looking at her, but with a hint of amusement hidden in his voice.
Sakura smiled and chuckled. "Yeah, I know it's hard. But, it can't be as bad as Naruto, right?" she asked. Sasuke shook his head. "No way, I'd rather have Naruto any day, rather than her," he spat out. Sakura smiled. "I'm glad to her that," she said under her breath. Sasuke didn't understand and was about to ask her, but Ino came in.
She looked somewhat relieved. She was actually, she came to the realization that she and Sasuke weren't just meant to be, and that Sasuke and Sakura were. First she needed to speak to Sakura. "You guys, I need to speak to each of you, one at a time. Sakura, may I speak with you first?" she asked. Sakura sighed and nodded.
Sasuke just turned back to his little world, staring out the window. (I bet he's thinking of lollipops, rainbows, fluffy bunnies, and tomatos. Lots and lots of tomatos...hehe)
"Sakura," Ino began. Sakura looked at her quizically. She had no clue what was going on. "I'm sorry," Ino fessed. Sakura stood there in shock. "For what?" she asked. Ino smiled. "For everything," she looked up at the ceiling. "I mean, for being mean to you all these years, forcing you and pushing you to your limits. And for getting us into this mess," she said. smirking.
Sakura raised an eyebrow. 'She's acting high...I bet Shikamaru put some sort of pill in one of her diet drinks a few days ago...I'll kill him for this...troublesome my butt...' Sakura thought in rage.
"And I've come to a conclusion," Ino went on firmly. Sakura listened intently. "I have given up on Sasuke," she stated. Sakura stood there in shock. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Yamanaka Ino, number one fan of Uchiha Sasuke, has given up on him? I wouldn't believe it either!
"Wha?" Sakura asked, still completely dazed. Ino giggled. "I've realized he and I just don't mix. I'll never be able to stay and wait for him to warm up to me as long as you have," Ino shrugged. Sakura smiled. "That's all I wanted to say, now I've gotta speak to Sir Icy out here," she said. Sakura nodded.
She entered her room with a large grin on her face. Sasuke looked up and raised and eyebrow. "Are you high?" he asked bluntly. Sakura did an anime fall. "Wha!" she screamed. Sasuke smirked. Sakura shook her head and rolled her eyes. "Anyways, Ino wants to speak to you now," she said. She took his place on her bed as he stood up and left out the door.
"I wonder what Ino has to say to him?" Sakura thought to herself, now looking out the window with that same, dazed out look on her face that Sasuke had just seconds ago.
"Sasuke," Ino began just as she did with Sakura. "Hn?" he asked. Ino smiled. Then her smile turned into a scowl. "Do you realize what you make Sakura go through every single day?" she asked, venom leaking into her voice. Sasuke was shocked by her sudden deadliness. He had a confused look on his face.
"Have you ever looked in her eyes each time you give her that horrible, icy, cold, deep dark abyss kind of glare of yours?" she asked. "No, you don't, because if you did, you'd see how it hurts her," she concluded. Sasuke knew all of this of course. Ino sighed. She knew nothing would change his mind about his attitude towards anyone, especially Sakura.
She sighed once more, her hand on her forehead, her other arm holding it up. Her hair covered her eyes, casting a shadow over her face. She began to speak once more.
"You know, before each of us left to go to the other's house on the day that we both switched places, she told me something, but I was really confused as to how it dealt with either of us," she began. Sasuke was listening closely, wondering where she was heading at.
"She said, and I quote: "Ino. Just...don't get your heart broken. Trust me, it hurts."" Ino said lowly. "I didn't really, truly understand what she was talking about until you glared at me in that room not even fifteen minutes ago," she continued.
"I finally figured out why her eyes haven't been gleaming, brimming with happiness. What she said...was how she felt..." Ino muttered sadly. Sasuke was still confused. "Don't you get it you inbisile?" Ino asked, obviously exhausted from trying to fit this new information into such a thick, hard-headed skull. He shook his head.
She sighed. "When she said to not get my heart broken and that it hurts, she was talking about you!" she exclaimed in a whisper.
"You broke her heart, but she keeps waiting! She's been waiting! Always, and I highly doubt she'll stop waiting even when the Apocolypse comes face to face with her!" Ino raged. She was so frusturated with Sasuke.
"It hurts her more than you could know each time you reject her. It hurts way more than you could know," Ino repeated.
"Yesterday, when she told me that we had to meet here," Ino continued. "I stopped her for a second. I replied with out looking back at her: "You told me not to get my heart broken, and it didn't break. It only got slightly torn..." When I left, I realized that Sakura was left almost at the verge of tears." Ino concluded. Sasuke's eyes grew wide.
Ino sighed again. "You did this Sasuke, you did this. And now that my eyes are open, I see how you don't even deserve such a person as Sakura," she spat out in disgust. Sasuke was quite taken aback by this. "You're not even worth her time, nor her patience to wait for you, she's waited so long, Uchiha. So long..." Ino explained.
"You don't even deserve her hate, nontheless her love." Ino stopped the conversation there, and entered Sakura's room once more.
"Okay, I'm done. Now how are we going to change back? I wantmy old body back!" Ino complained, sitting down next to Sakura.
"Do your Mind Switch jutsu, Ino," Sasuke said, emerging through the door. She turned her head around to him. "Why?" she asked. He sighed and rolled his eyes.
"Because if you do the jutsu, it might reverse the effects of the first jutsu you did earlier, which might turn you two back into your original bodies," he explained slowly. Ino nodded. "It's worth a try, are you willing Sakura?" Ino asked. Sakura nodded.
The two stood about 2 feet from each other, Ino ready to do the jutsu. "Now, Sakura, I have to warn you though," Sasuke began. Sakura looked up at him, a questioning look upon her face.
"That's Ino's jutsu, it's fit for her, in her body. Not yours, so when she does perform the jutsu, it may effect your body. Just a warning though," he said carelessly. Sakura nodded. "Okay Ino, go on!" Sakura encouraged. She nodded.
Ino did a few hand seals and focused her chakra. "Shitenshyin no jutsu!" she exclaimed. It took a small while until the effects would take place, so Sasuke waited for what seemed forever, but was only a matter of 60 seconds. After the effects kicked in...
I'm so mean. A small cliffie right there! IMPORTANT: If you haven't read the top where I explained the band story, please do. I need you peoples' opinions! . The next chapter should be up soon, with the summary for my new story! Sorry for any grammatical/spelling errors, also. Until then, ja ne!
