Ino layed her head on Shino's chest. Her leg curled around his left one. Everyone left of the Rookie Nine were watching as fireworks shot up and sprayed rainbows in the midnight blue sky. They all sat on a huge hill outside of Konoha.

The blonde breathed, "Isn't this the life."

"..." The bug freak thought it best not to meantion the harshness of reality. Ino already knew. They all knew too well.

"Hey Ino!" Sakura called upward, being farther down the hill, "Sasuke wants you to come over to his house to get your clothes from Hinata's party the other week!"

" 'Kay! I'll get them later!"

Sakura went back to cuddling with Lee. A few people grumbled at the interuption of silence. Shino stiffened slightly and Ino noticed immediatly.

"What's wrong with you?" She pushed him lightly, "I thought we already had a fight about this before. There is nothing going on, Shino."

"I know." The young man answered simply as he slipped his arm around Ino.

The blonde snorted, "Good."

Shino sighed, "Be careful of him."

"Who?"

"The Uchiha. He betrayed us once and he has the eyes to do it again."

Ino sat up," You're just jealous because I'm friends with him. Shino I told you-"

The bug freak too sat up, "I know what you told me and I know you will do nothing with him, but I also know he is not to be trusted."

"You know what Shino. You need to learn how to trust people." Ino snorted again as she stood up.

Shino followed her lead. Looking straight into her eyes, "He hasn't been trying to woo Hinata-chan. He hasn't gone anywhere near her. Not even looked her way. He's a liar and a puppet and you helped him become a manipulator."

"I did not!" Folding her arms across her chest Ino hissed at her boyfriend, "Ya know I thingk you're the one with the mental problems, not Sasuke. You are so paranoid!"

"Where is he then?"

"What?"

Shino sighed, "He left a minute after whispering something in your friends ear. He is up to something."

"Now Shino," Ino started.

The teen intergected, "It's not jealousy or paranoia when I say this, Ino. Even Naruto knows he's up to something. Ask them all, some even have proof."

"But-" Ino lowered her eyes, "I trust Sasuke. He isn't like that! I know him. I might not be madly in love with him though, but I know him!"

Shino sighed, "Let's just stop this argument Ino. You'll learn for yourself."

"You can't just-"

He cut her off again with a light kiss. Licking her lower lip slightly.

"I'm coming with you later to get your things."

Ino fell against him, "What else is new?"
