Summary: A SasuIno story. Everything was just an accident. (Read the presumes and assumes in chapter 1.)
Special thanks to my home girl, HanayakaXy. She's the best! She corrected every mistake that I made. I heart her:D
Naruto's and Sakura's child…
Ino can't move on because of his death but, she got a lot of friends that comforting her.
At the first month of his death, she is just staying in her room, sulking and crying, she is not even eating. Nevertheless, she is taking a bath every day.
Just thanks to her best friend, Temari, Temari stayed in Konoha for a whole month to take care of Ino.
If she is not eating, she will force her to eat.
But she could understand her. It will hurt so much if the person you love left you.
They are like sisters. They are helping each other if one of them has a problem.
Ino's helping Temari, if she and Shikamaru argued. They argue too much.
Shikamaru's arguing how troublesome she is.
Moreover, Temari will complain about how lazy-ass he is.
After few hours, they will apologize to each other because of Ino.
Ino will tell and force Shikamaru to say 'sorry' to Temari.
And Ino will tell to Temari to do same.
Oh well. After the first month, she went back to work.
Temari told her that if she will not be happy, Neji would not be happy as well.
After that, Temari went back to Suna.
She goes back to her work but that never meant that she already moved on.
She's keeping herself very busy. She honestly didn't want to rest.
Because she knew if she's not busy, She'll just remember what'd happened to the love of her life.
Well at least she's trying to smile.
However, behind those smiles there's sadness.
She's just confessing what she felt to Sasuke.
They're like friends. But not a close one though.
She used to open up to Chouji and Shikamaru, her former teammate but they are very busy with their own lives.
If Chouji has a free time, he is hanging out in Ramen Shop because that is his girlfriend's place.
And Shikamaru, he's Konoha's strategist, he's busy making up tactics. Besides, he is traveling back and forth to Suna because he's an ambassador as well. In addition, Suna is Temari's village.
Only Sasuke who's the one has a free time. If he had free time he's just in training ground and Ino will walk to the training ground and spit out what the hell she felt.
Sasuke's listening to her. But he's not giving some advice.
Ino told him as long as his listening to him, that'll be enough.
Ino has many suitors. But she's not yet ready. The love of her life just died 4 months ago.

2 months later…
At Konoha's Hospital..
The gang is waiting outside the delivery room. Naruto is nervous because the day has finally come.
After few time he will become the father of their first child. Sakura is now in delivery room with Ino.
At the Delivery Room…
"Damn forehead, PUSH!!!" Ino said.
"Eeeeeeeeeeee..." Sakura screamed.
"Just a little more... The baby's coming out..." Ino shouted..
"Shiiitttt… I..no...pig, It's ha...hard." Sakura cried while pushing..
The baby is completely out.
"Here you go. It's a boy!!" Ino said.
However, Sakura didn't hear Ino because she was too tired and she fell asleep.
Ino clean the baby and wrap him in a clean cloth.
She gave the baby to Shizune eventually, so she could bring him on the nursery.
Ino went outside to inform them.
Outside the Delivery Room...
"Hey guys!" Ino said to them very cheerful.
"Hey what's going on? How's Sakura? How's my baby? Is my baby normal?" Naruto asked her many questions panicky.
"It's fine now, both of them are great, your baby is normal." she told Naruto with a real smile on her lips.
Naruto breathe out in relief.
"Um..um.. what's the.. gender?" Hinata inquired.
"It's a boy. The baby is at nursery. You could see him right there." she said.
"Looks like you lost after all, Tsunade, I won in our little wager." Jiraiya said to Tsunade.
"This sucks." Tsunade said with sigh.
Naruto and the gang run in the nursery immidiately.
Outside the Nursery Room...
They're looking in the transparent-glass window. They could see the baby clearly, because the baby is just near at the window.
"He inherited the color of your hair. Another blondie in Konoha... How troublesome!" Shikamaru said with bored tone.
"..Yeah... I hope he didn't inherit your stubbornness.." Sasuke said with smirk.
Naruto is crying because of happiness. He cannot take off his eye on his child.
"How does it feel being a father?" Ino asked him.
"Happy, glad... I can't explain... but I am kind of nervous." Naruto said.
"NARUTO, YOU'RE NOW MORE YOUTHFUL THAN EVER!" Lee said to Naruto with ultra energetic tone and take note with his nice guy post with shiny teeth.
"Lee, You're scary.." Kiba said.
"Maybe guys should go back to your house now. Thanks for coming here 2 in a morning." Naruto said.
All of them say good-bye to each other.
Nevertheless, Ino and Sasuke stayed.
"Why don't you guys get some rest? Especially you, Ino." Naruto.
"No. I am perfectly fine and besides I do have a lot of paper works have to work on at the Interrogation." Ino said with fake smile.
"What about those eye bugs under your eyes? You're saying your fine?" Sasuke asked.
"Well I just didn't get enough sleep yesterday." she said.
"You're not fine. You have to go and get some rest." Tsunade said coming out from nowhere.
"But Tsunade-sama I-" Ino is cut out by Tsunade.
"Look at you, you're very skinny. You're overdoing yourself way too much. I'll give you an off for two days."
"You're not serious, right? I am going to die because of depression if you will give me 2 days off." She complained.
"No buts, no complains, just forget the bad happened in the past, if you don't want to get bored you can go here in the hospital and visit Sakura." Tsunade said as she walked off.
"Just great! I wish I won't commit suicide on my offs." She said.
"Get over it, Ino, just relaxe. Teme will walk you home." Naruto said with very big smile and rubbing the back of his head.
"Thanks... But I can handle myself, so, no need for assistance..." she said.
"Maybe dobe is right, I am going to walk you home." Sasuke offered.
"Go Ino. Teme is unbelievably gentleman today, that's unusual; just take the offer, that's just once in a blue moon." Naruto said to Ino, insulting Sasuke.
"Fine." she gave up.
While their walking towards her home
There is an uncomfortable silence.
But Sasuke decided break the silence.
"Time passed so fast, huh?" he said.
"Well yeah... a lot of things happens... a lot of things changed..." she said quietly looking down.
"Yeah. Things changes so fast...," he agreed.
"I remember when I was a kid, you used to be my childhood crush. Forehead and I fought over you, I used to glomp on you, saying you're mine and stuffs like that." she uttered with serious look and has a small smile on her face.
"You remember those scenes?" she continued.
"...yeah. I used to call both of you annoying." he said with emotionless face.
"But when I was14, I gave you up to forehead. And that time I realizes that you two will fit to each other than you and I. But things changed, Sakura ends up to Naruto.." she said.
"A lot of unexpected things happened.." he said.
"I agree. For instance, I never thought someone like Neji Hyuga will be my first love and first boyfriend.. In addition, Shino, who would have thought that he'll fall to Kiba's sister. Hinata too... I thought Hinata will end up to Naruto but instead she ends up marrying Kiba.." she explained.
Ino noticed that she is now in her house.
"Oh... We're here. Thanks for walking me home. Good night! Bye.." She said.
"...night" he said plainly.
After she walked inside, he walked off and head to Uchiha's compund.
Next Day
It has been mid-noon when she woke up and got up to her bed.
After fixing herself, she went to the memorial stone where Neji's buried.
At the memorial stone where Neji buried…
She put the flowers under the monument and prays.
"It's been 6 months, Neji, I can't believe that I am still alive right now without you. I miss you so much. Did you miss me? I remember when the first time I asked you a lot of questions, your answers are very unexpected.she thought.
Flashbacks…
They are in training ground, meditating. They are in a relationship for only 7 months.
At the middle of their meditation, Ino opened her eye.
"Neji.." she disturbed him while he's meditating.
Hm?" he asked.
"Do I ever cross your mind?"
No" he said continuing his meditation.
"Do you like me?"
No.." he said plainly.
"Do you want me?"
Not really.." he said to her, still eyes are close.
"Would you cry if I left you?"
NoWhy would I?" he mummble
Would you live for me?"
No.." he said.
"Would you do anything for me?"
No.." he replied.
"Choose one, me or your life?"
My life.." he answered very blunt.
She stands up because she had heard enough.
"Okay. That's it. I can't fucking take any longer. If that is what you want, fine, fuck off, Hyuga, I quit, from now on do not fucking talk to me. I end our relationship right here, right n--" Neji cut her off. He kissed her. After a few seconds, he broke the kiss and spoke.
"The reason you never cross my mind is because you're always on my mind. The reason why I don't like you is because I love you. The reason I don't want you is because I need you. The reason I wouldn't cry if you left is because I would die if you left. The reason I wouldn't live for you is because I would die for you. The reason why I'm not willing to do anything for you is because I would do everything for you. The reason I chose my life is because you ARE my life."
They continued the kiss.
The tears stream down to her face.
End of Flashbacks.
"That is the sweetest and corniest thing you told me, Neji, if that scene crossed in my mind, I can't help but smile. I have to go now, Neji, I love you, bye, I am gonna visit you next time." she said in mind.
She went to the hospital.
At the hospital, Sakura's room…
She entered to Sakura's room. She just saw Sakura and the baby beside her, Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi in the room.
"Hey forehead!" Ino said with very cheerful tone.
"hello pig!" Sakura shot back with smile.
"How are you?" Ino inquired.
"Fine… By the way, thanks." Sakura said
"No prob. What's his name anyways?" Ino asked curiously.
"Kitsuki." she said quietly.
"He inherited your green eyes." Ino noticed.
"Ino, what happened between you and Sasuke last night (actually that's already morning!)?" Naruto uttered with teasing tone.
"We just talked and he walked me home. That's it.," she said very plain.
"That's it? How lame!" Naruto said with lazy voice.
"Shut up, dobe." Sasuke said in calm tone.
"Hey Kakashi-sensei, How's Anko-sensei and Rishi?" Ino asked Kakashi while she is pealing the fruits for Sakura.
Kakashi's reading the nasty book as always.
"They're fine." He muttered with lazy tone.
"Ohh… Okay. You still have those dirty books?" she asked pointing the book.
"It's not dirty, it's romantic."Kakashi corrected her.
"I can't believe Anko-sensei letting you to keep those 'romantic' books..." She uttered.
"Actually, no, Anko-sensei destroyed SOME of his books before. She actually doesn't know that he still have those." Naruto said laughing.
"Like you're the one to talk, Naruto, YOU read those books before, don't you?" Sasuke mumbled.
"Well, yeah, but I didn't finish because that book is boring." Naruto said with boring look.
"So what did you learn in that book?" Sakura asked his hubby, she's pretty annoyed.
"Well just making out technique..." He said with it's-just-nothing tone.
"Okay, that's enough, that subject is pretty filthy." Ino objected.
"Oh c'mon Ino, in almost 2 years of your relationship with Neji, don't tell me you're still a virgin." Naruto questioned with malicious smile.
Ino is blushing.
"Look pal, just shut the hell up, if I am a virgin or not, that doesn't concern about you." Ino said to Naruto, she's kinda angry.
"Just kidding, Ino! Oh before we forgot Ino, Sasuke, you will be the godparents of our child." Naruto said.
"So when's the baptismal of Kitsuki?" Ino asked.
"2 weeks from now, at the Tower's Rooftop... (A/N: she's referring to the Hokage's tower)" Sakura said.
"Forehead, you must teach your child good manners, not a nasty one like Naruto's attitude." Ino said.
"Yeah, I know that." Sakura whispered.
"Alright I have to go. I am gonna go to Tsunade-sama and force her to remove my day off for tomorrow. I really hate day off, you know!" Ino said.
"Fine. Bye!" Sakura said.
"Bye, all!" she said.
She went out and headed on the Hokage's place.
Hokage's place
"Come in." Tsunade said.
"Hi." Ino said as she enters the room.
"What cha want?" she asked as she looks at her.
"Please cancel my day off for tomorrow." Ino begged her.
"Are you sure?" Tsunade asked her again.
"Sure." she answered.
"Fine." the Hokage said.
"Oh... Tsunade-sama, before I forgot, I will take a day off in next two weeks because I have to attend Kitsuki's baptismal." Ino said.
"Okay. You need something more?" Tsunade inquired.
"No. Thanks! Bye!" Ino said!
Tsunade nodded!
