Ino POV

It was 7: 20 pm as Ino and Rock lee stood by the lake and wait very impatiently for Sakura to appear.

"WHERE IS SAKURA?" And Shikamaru thins I'm loud. "SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE BY NOW." Yeah where is she? Sakura would never stand someone up. Ino began taping her foot annoyance. If she was going to be late she could have called. It's not like… Oh no. Her whole body froze.

"INO YOU SURE YOU TOLD HER ABOUT HE CHANGE IN PLANES. "

Umm... "Of curse I did." Not.

"THEN WHERE IS SHE? OH NO. SHE MAY HAVE BEEN ATTACKED."

"No". I may have forgotten to tell her I change her plans. Again.

"WHAT IF SHE IS LYING SOMEWHERE BLOODY AND HURT?" Is he crying? "THIS IS ALL MY FAULT. I thought they were joking about him being a crybaby. "I WILL COME SAVE YOU SAKURA." Ino could do nothing but watch. If he weren't serous it would have been slightly funny. Seeing as how he was serous it was sad. It was sad and greatly embarrassing. Luckily for them there was no one around to see it.

He really is nuts. After a while she couldn't take his crying. "Sakura is fine."

"NO. SHE IS HURT AND I MUST GO HELP HER." She's not hurt but I will be if she finds out what I did. "SAKURA WOULD NEVER BREAK A PROMISE." He was going to go but Ino couldn't let him leave.

"Look Lee you're yelling again and I think I may have suffered some permanent hearing loss in this ear." She point to he right ear. "Now unless you want to make Sakura deft too you'll remember what I said about talking at a normal leave." You big mouth.

"INO THIS IS NO TIME FOR PETTY COMPLAINTS." He turned away from her and began to walk off in another direction. Petty? Ino had been doing her best to stay calm. She had gone a whole week with out yell. She made a bet with Shikamaru she didn't want to lose it but… "PETTY? You big mouth green PSYCHO. YOU THINK ME LOSING MY HEARING IS PETTY? I SHOULD KICK YOUR-"

"INO WE HAVE NO TIME FOR THIS. I HAVE TO HELP SAKURA."

Help her do what you buffoon. She was tempted to let him go. She knew if Sakura thought she had been stood up she'd beat him to a bloody pulp.

"Lee wait she's coming." She saw him turn around and begin to walk back. "I told her to be here at 8 instead" He didn't look convinced so she continued. "so we could set everything up." She only called him back because if Sakura ever found out the truth Lee wouldn't be the only one beaten to a pulp. The look in eyes told her he believed her lie. Now all I have to do is get Sakura.

"Lee stay here and practice being quite." She looked around ever thing was perfect. "I'll get Sakura." She took off at a running pace.

Sakura POV

She got to the end of the block when she heard a familiar voice call out her name. "SAKURA. SAKURA… Wait."

She turned in time to see her blonde haired best friend come to a stop in front of her. She was out of breath and panting like she had been running for her life. She's probably running from Shikamaru again. Over the years the tanned boy had become lazier. Something many people thought wasn't even possible. Although once in a while you would see him chasing after Ino the was you an enemy nin. One day's gonna kill her. But no one felt sorry for Ino. It was very hard to piss him off to the point that he'd come after you. So it was clear whatever she was doing, she was doing it on purpose. Sakura looked down at her winded friend. "No… you're not hiding at my house."

Ino waved it off and stood up strait, her breathing was back to normal. "Shika on a mission. He won't find out what I've done for at least three days."

"So why were you running?"

"That. I forgot to tell you. Rock Lee said to meet him at the lake at 8 o'clock."

"When did he tell you this?"

"I saw him when I was walking to your house." Sakura was angry but it was for a whole new reason.

"If he told you to tell me that before, why didn't you tell me?"

"I forgot…" forgot?

"I'd like to forget the time I spent sitting around for NOTHING." She looked at her watch. 7:30. She walked around her best friend with out even waving good-bye. She could tell there was more to this story cause Ino was clearly lying. She just didn't have time to what was true and what was Ino.
