Heart Is Racing
(Sasuke's point of view)
I follow Kakashi to a cafe that was nearby. We sit down in a booth and order drinks. "How do you know my mother?" I ask again. He sighs, "that is a long and complicated story," he says. The waitress comes and gives us our drinks, then leaves. "We have time," I say stubbornly.
"I met your mother through Obito," he says and drinks his coffee. "Obito? Who's that?" I ask not recognizing the name. Kakashi looks at me confused. "You don't know who Obito is?" he asks. I shake my head.
He sighs, "he died before your brother and you were born... But I would have thought your father would have enough respect to tell you about him" he mutters. "Who was he?" I ask interested. "Your father's brother, your uncle. Although they were never really close. Your mother and Obito acted more like siblings" he says and smiles.
"I never knew I had an uncle... How did you two meet?" I ask as I take a sip of my coffee. "We were in the police academy together... We were partners" he says. "You're a cop?" I ask. "I was a detective so was your uncle, but after he was killed I quit," he says solemnly.
We both stay silent for a while. Soon the waitress comes back and brings him his pastry. I wonder if I should ask him what happened. But from the expression on his face, I don't think he wants to think about it anymore. "So what do you do now?" I ask. "I am the owner of a fine club," he says and hands me a business card.
"Icha Icha Paradise... Wait a minute isn't this a strip club!?" I say and turn to him. "So you've heard of it? You should come by I'll give you a discount" he says carefree. I feel my eye twitch, how did he go from being a well-respected detective to owning a strip club?
I shake my head and drink my coffee. "Wait if you were a detective than maybe you can help me," I say. "I haven't done that in a long time so I don't know how much you think I could help," he says. That is true. "Well if I have any questions can I call you?" I ask. He chuckles, "sure," he says and turns over the card he gave me and writes his personal number.
"What was Obito like?" I find myself asking as he hands me the business card back. He chuckles, "The complete opposite of an Uchiha, he was loud and annoying" he mutters sadly. "How is your brother? Last I hear he was a doctor" he asks changing the subject.

(Ino's point of view)
I pull the comforter closer to me and bring my knees to my stomach. I close my eyes and will myself to sleep but I can't. I can't sleep in the same bed I share with Sai after what I did to him. I thought a long hot shower would make me sleepy but it didn't. I'm exhausted but I can't sleep. I open my eyes and look aimlessly around the room.
My eyes land on my dresser. On top of it lays the charm bracelet. I groan and bury my head in my pillow but quickly pull away when instead of smelling my normal strawberry shampoo in the pillow I smell Sai's shampoo.
I sit up on the bed and grip my hair in frustration. Why did I do that? I just ruined the best relationship I've ever had. I look at the doorway when I hear someone walk in. Sai looks back at me, "I'm going to the studio for a while to finish the painting. I'm not sure If I'll be back for dinner" he informs me. I smile, "Ok, call me if you anything comes up," I say in a soft voice.
He walks to me and kisses my forehead. "I will. Try to get some sleep you look exhausted," he says softly. I nod my head, he smiles one last time before he leaves the room. As soon as I hear the front door close I let out a breath that I didn't know I had been holding.
I get out of bed and walk to my closet, I change out of my pajamas and into blue jeans and a white blouse. I put on my shoes and walk toward the door. I pick up my purse and keys and lock the door.
I walk to the parking lot. I get inside and my car and turn on the engine. I have to go see Neji.
Soon I am parked in front of the familiar apartment building. I take a deep breath and let it out slowly as I open the car door. I step out and straighten my clothes. I'm just here to talk. Nothing else. Not that anything else will happen anyway.
I walk into the building and go to Neji's floor. I walk to Neji's door and stand in front of it for a couple of moments. Should I knock or should I just leave and pretend nothing ever happened? But I know I couldn't do that even if I wanted to.
I raise my right hand and knock on the door a couple of times. I hear rustling from inside. The door opens. He takes one look at me and opens the door wider for me to go inside. I walk in and he shuts the door.
"What do I owe the pleasure to?" he says as he walks past me and goes to the kitchen. He goes to the counter and begins to cut up carrots. I stand a distance away and watch as he cuts them up into perfect slices. "We need to talk about what happened Neji" I whisper. He doesn't look up at me or stop cutting, "Your ashamed" he states. I hear the disappointment in his voice.
I sigh and walk a bit closer but still keep him at a distance. "I'm dating Sai Neji..." I mutter. He chuckles, "yet you slept with me last night". I stay silent and look at the ground. I hear him stops cutting, I look up at him and find him already looking at me. He chuckles again, "you came here to make sure I stay quiet" he whispers.
He walks away from the counter and walks toward me. "Why are you here Ino?" he asks, he stands a couple of feet in front of me with his arms crossed. I look away from him.
"You know why."
"I want to hear you say it."
I look him in the eye. "I don't want you to tell Sai we had sex," I say in a surprisingly strong voice. He takes a step closer as I take one back.
"Do you love him?"
The questions throw's me off and he inches closer.
"W-What?"
He's standing in front of me now. "Do you love him?" he asks again. "Of course I do," I say angrily.
"Then why did you hesitate to answer" he whispers. I stare at him surprised. He moves his lips towards my ear, "You didn't hesitate last night" he breaths out making my cheeks blush.
We make eye contact. I want to look away but I can't. In an instant his lips capture mine. But instead of pulling away I pull him closer.
Sometimes I do things that I know I shouldn't. Things that I've always been told were wrong. Like driving too fast or taking that extra drink knowing you shouldn't. Things that in the moment they feel so right despite what all your instincts tell you. They make life exciting. Worth living.
I think this is one of those moments...
Butterflies are in my stomach...
And my heart is racing...
This is my forbidden fruit...
But...
I know this is going to come crashing down on me...

"I'm telling you Sasuke, you should quit that job and become a model. You have just the right face for it. Trust me" Kakashi is starting to tick me off.
"Your lucky to have such a face. In fact, if you smiled more you would look even better!"
I am about to open my mouth and yell out an insult when I hear my phone begin to ring.
"Hello"
"Sasuke you will never believe who just walked into the station"
"Who is it Suigetsu?"
"Sakura Haruno"
