Chapter 40 – Ino's Chapter (Part 4)
Sakura was so late. She was to come over to my house after breakfast so we could to the movies. I had been waiting forever to see the movie. But she was late. We were going to miss the movie.
"Ino, Sakura's here!" I heard my mom call up to me. I ran down to see my tardy friend.
"Sakura, where have you-what's wrong with you?" Sakura looked completely out of it. Her eyes were wide and she was touching her lips.
"Sa-sa-sa" Was all she could say. I took her out of the shop and up to my room.
"Sakura, what's wrong?" I asked again once we were sitting on my bed. She turned to me and her lips curled up a bit into a smile.
"Sasuke-kun…kissed me."
"What!" This was the most shocking news I had ever heard. Sasuke kissed Sakura!
"He kissed me," She sighed happily and fell back on my bed.
"When? Where? Why?"
"Just a little bit ago in the park," She was all dreamy eyed then sat up, "but he told me 'I'm glad you've finally shut up' after he kissed me. I guess he just wanted me to shut up. But still he kissed me!"
"What was it like being kissed by the Sasuke Uchiha?" I asked. I had to know everything.
"Wonderful. His mouth was soft and warm. His lips were a little chapped but it was still amazing."
"How did he kiss you? Like this?" I pursed my lips a little, "Or like this?" I shot out my tongue and waved crazily. Sakura laughed.
"The first one."
"Classic chaste kiss. Nice," I smiled.
"I wish he'd do it again."
"So are you together now?" I asked. She frowned and shook her head.
"I think he was just trying to shut me up like he said," She sighed.
"Kissing isn't exactly the most Sasuke-esque way to shut someone up," I pointed out.
"I don't know…"
"Want me to ask him?" I smirked at the thought of embarrassing him.
"No!" She shook her head violently making me laugh, "You can't tell anyone!"
"I won't."
"Not even Sai!"
"But he's my boyfriend."
"Ino."
"Fine."
"Thank you."
We sat silent for a minute then I looked to the clock.
"The movie!" I got off the bed.
"Ah! Let's go!" Sakura looked at the clock. I grabbed my purse and we ran out of my home. We ran all the way to the movies. We barely made it. We took our seats and tried to catch our breaths. I looked over to my side and saw SHikamaru and Temari.
"Shikamaru, what are two doing here?" I asked.
"We wanted to see the movie," He rolled his eyes at me.
"Are you here with Sai?" Temari asked.
"No, I'm here," Sakura leaned forward so the two could see her.
"Sakura!" They both gasped and blushed.
"What?" Sakura and I were confused at their reaction. They closed their mouths and shook their heads.
"Shikamaru," I elbowed him. I wanted to know why they reacted that way.
"Get away, Ino," He groaned.
"Not until you tell me why you guys just freaked out at seeing Sakura," I kept my elbow in his side.
"Sh!" The person behind us went.
"I can't tell you," He tried to move away from my elbow. My iron elbow followed him.
"Tell me!"
"Sh!" Again the patron behind us went.
I saw him look at Sakura and she shot him a confused look. He then touched his lips. Sakura turned red. I knew what he knew.
"You know about," I pointed to my lips. He nodded.
"Ino Yamanaka, will you be quiet!" I realized it was Suzume-sensei behind us. I thought I had escaped her. I ducked down and remained silent for the rest of the movie. When we got out I questioned Shikamaru and Temari. They mentioned they were in the park and saw the kiss. Sakura begged them not to say anything to anyone. They had already decided not to for which Sakura was grateful. They left and Sakura walked me back to my place. She left me to go to her dog walking job. As soon as she was gone I had the terrible temptation to call up Sai. I really wanted to tell him about Sasuke and Sakura. I told Sai everything. How could I keep it a secret? But I promised Sakura I wouldn't. Agh! Stupid promises!
