TITLE: Heartbreak Follows Her

RATING: T

SUMMARY: Sakura is secretly with Ino. when she decides- right before the Chunin exams- to break up with her, is that it for these two girls?

AUTHOURESS'S NOTE: I was bored, so I decided to type another chapter! here ya go!

Disclaimer- nope. don't own. so don't sue, ya vultures! (no offense to lawyers)

Sakura's eyes blinked open, and she yawned as she tried to roll over- then fell onto the hard, unforgiving wood floor, with a THUMP!. she grumbled as she stood, and walked to the mirror in her tiny bathroom, and smirked into her reflection. might as well make Ino see what she had been hiding all those years, ne?

it was her first full day of being free, unrestrained by Ino, and she felt great, but also a bit empty, but she ignored that hole in her heart. she got up, and looked in her tiny closet. red training dresses... feh, she only wore those because Ino said she had looked cute in them. she went over to a box she had under the now Ino-smelling bed, and pulled it out, opening the taped-closed flaps as soon as it was out in the light.

she grinned as she pulled out some more kunoichi-ish outfits, those of which were good-looking on her, but also better for fighting. she pulled out a dark crimson, high-collared shirts trimmed in white meterial, with her family crest printed on her chest, only inturrupted by the large, heavy duty zipper.

the skirt was only mid-thigh, and it was the same crimson the shirt was, with the edges trimmed white as well as her family seal on both sides, with pockets sewed seamlessly into it, so they were difficult to see, and it was secured on her hips by a heavy-duty belt made out of her own spun chakra strings, with the silvered buckles on the sides firmly attached and made so that they could easily be tucked into the shirt, if need be for stealth reasons.

she zipped her shirt up over her mesh shirt and black sorts bra with the bindings underneath them, and looked at her long hair, which was in frizzed strands from the static shock on her old couch. he smoothed the tangles out with her hands, and then, when it was smoothed out, she put it into a low ponytail at the nape of her neck, to keep it out of the way, and tied it with black bandages she bought for that exact purpose. she put on some eyeliner and mascara, rimming her green orbs so they stood out, and left her bangs as they were, putting her headband in excatly the same spot she always did, to keep her bangs from falling foreward, onto her face.

she felt great, since this was what she had wanted to wear since she had gotten out of academy. she strapped all her gear on, and then strapped alot of her hidden weapons in, under, or somewhere on her person, and put in two silver, small hoop earrings like Shikamaru had, feeling the genjutsu that had hidden her pierced ears fade away. she then picked up her black shinobi sandals, and slipped them on after checking them for spiders- those things were everywhere, so she'd had to get used to them- and then stood, and walked to the bathroom, wetting her toothbrush and squeezing some minty toothpaste onto the bristles, then she brushed her teeth while she went into the kitchenette, and looked outside.

her living space, as she preferred to call it, was a two-story house, but it was just right for her to ive in. in fact, she kept half of it closed off, and usually went out the window in her room, because she didn't really like the downstairs all that much. it was made like four apartments into one house, and each had a bathroom, kitchenette with everything, bathroom, and bedroom along with an extra room for whatever. she just kept her weapons and such things locked up in there, so nobody could steal them.

she jumped from her window, and then headed to thier meeting spot early, seeing nobody there, she jumped into a cherry blossom tree near to that spot, and fell asleep, tired from the tormenting dreams of the times when Ino had used her.

IN ANOTHER PART OF KONOHA, Sasuke and Naruto were hanging out at Sasuke's apartment, eating takeout from Ichiraku's.

"Teme, I'm worried about Sakura-chan." Naruto said as he finished off his third bowl, and placed down his chopsticks.

"why? it's her business." the Uchiha retorted snubbingly, shoving away his unfinished bowl, which the blonde quickly gulped down.

"because, Teme!" the Uzumaki's eyes flashed. "she might be depressed, alright?! and...and I think she's been hiding alot of stuff from us." he finished off quietly.

"Sakura?" Sasuke asked disbelieveingly. "hiding things from us? Pfft, right." he rolled his onyx eyes.

"Teme, I'm being serious." the cerulean eyes looked into the Uchiha's, and the raven-haired boy sighed.

"you may be right, dobe." he said, uncertainly. "the thing with Yamanaka the other day was strange..."

"yeah, not to mention she was acting wierd when she came, too!" Naruto nodded.

Sasuke looked at the dobe. "I think that she may be hiding something from us, Dobe!"

WITH SAKURA, Kakashi looked up at her. "Interesting place to take a nap, Sakura." he commented as he hopped onto the branch beside hers, and she stirred awake immidiately.

"oh, hi Kakashi-sensei." she yawned. "I didn't get much sleep, my couch is really lumpy." she smiled sheepishly.

he crinkled his eye in a masked smile. "Been there, done that. I just came to tell you that I'll be busy until the Chunin Exams, so you can go training alone. tell Sasuke and Naruto, would you?" he asked her.

"sure. I might just hang out with them today... try to avoid Ino." she nodded, and he chuckled.

"seeya later then, Sakura." he waved his bye, and puffed off. she got off the branch, and then felt for the two's chakra signatures, and then puffed there. she crouched on a tree branch right outside the window, and saw Naruto talking animatedly. she knocked a few times on the window pane, and smiled as they were shocked to see her there. Sasuke let her in, and then closed the window.

"so, Kakashi-sensei's busy until after the Chunin exams, so I guess we train by ourselves. I just wanted to hang out today." she grinned, and Naruto nodded happily, while Sasuke 'hn'd.

she sighed, and then they headed out to hang out in the park, because it wasn't like there was a better place to hang out, when Ino's team passed, and Ino stared. and stared. and stared.

"FOREHEAD?!?!"
