A/N:
Edited the chapter a little since I just got done downloading Microsoft Word. Yes kinda weird that I didn't have it but none the less edited.
Sakura glared at the ceiling while she was sprawled out on her bed. She was thinking of Ino's kiss again, she couldn't pry her mind off of the memory; it's been nearly two weeks. She slowly got up in a sitting position and stared at the picture of the blond and her, which sported a new picture frame. Sakura's stare was intense at the picture, trying to recall the memories of that day. She looked around secretly before retrieving a scrapbook from under her bed. She slowly detached the picture from the frame and started to make a page for Ino. Purple and green seemed to be a fitting color combination for her cheer leading companion. She soon started to cut out shapes and used different style of scissors to add character to the page. After the page was decorated, Sakura carefully placed the picture in the middle.
Sakura smiled lightly at the piece of work and slid the book under her bed once more. Before she could pick up after herself, her dad knocked on the door with his public suit on and pointing at his watch. "Hunny if you keep this up, you will miss an inning in your first Softball game today." Sakura gasped looked at the time, her dad was right and she had to hustle.
"AH! I am sorry dad!" She said grabbing her duffle bag and fastening her shoelaces. Within a few seconds the softball player was ready and her father smiled before walking out of the room, Sakura followed.
"So what were you doing up there?" Himoto turned his head where he could see his daughter and quirked a questioning eyebrow.
"Scrap booking." The pinkette said calmly, her father smiled. The man already knew his daughters hobby of scrap booking though she would never admit it herself.
They both walked out of the main doors.

Sakura popped her bubblegum while gazing in the dugouts. The team they were going against was the crappiest team ever put together, they could barely make a play, let alone hit the ball. But she was satisfied since no one stood up to her pitching yet.
"Haruno, come sit down." Temari suggested while patting the spot near her, the pinkette got used to the blonde's flirty nature and started to ignore it. She walked over to the sitting girl and sat near by watching the other team's players hustle out into their positions on the field. In the corner of her eye, she could see Tenten staring at her, she smirked lightly.
"So what are you doing tonight?" Temari said in a playful voice. Sakura raised a non-entertained eyebrow before blowing another bubble which Temari took the hint to lay off, but a sickening grin was plastered on her face.
"Ok Haruno. Put a helmet on, your on-deck batter!" The coach listed off from his tablet. The softball played grabbed a helmet and bat before exiting the dugout, she got into the on-deck batters circle to warm up. Her dad smiled from the crowd before loosening his tie while looking at Tsunade. She was in another light tempered mood and Himoto was waiting for an outburst.
"Has she improved, Tsunade?" He questioned, Tsunade started to massage the bridge of her nose with two fingers.
"Yes a little but not enough." The blond said stubbornly.
An echo of the bat meeting the softball roared in the small softball stadium and the runner sprinted towards first base. The ball flew into center field and bounced before being caught by center field men. They threw sloppily over to first base which missed the play, the runner seen the mishap and took off again to be safe at second base. The crowd clapped at the runner on second base, Sakura sauntered over to home plate. The sound of the cheer leaders were heard being echoed by the crowd who was cheering at her. The outfield backed up while in field got down and ready.
The pitcher licked their lips nervously before fluidly pitching the ball; Sakura's eyes adjusted to the slightly fast speed and swung the bat. She let up at the end of the swing, causing the ball to line drive towards first basemen, who ducked instead of getting the ball. Tsunade sat up amazed and cheered with the crowd, Himoto chuckled at the woman's enthusiasm.
"RUN! RUN!" Tsunade yelled waving her hands frantically in the air, the runner on second took off without hesitation. The batter started to speed over to first base and cut across to second, by then the runner on second was already home. Sakura looked over to see the ball still being retrieved, she took the chance to pass shortstop and onto third base. Right field finally got hold of the ball but was too late since the batter already made it onto home plate. The crowd roared in applause including her father and her coach.
"You sure she has not improved?" Her dad inquired with an amused look, Tsunade looked over to him with a pleased smile. "Actually, she has improved more than I expected. Maybe she won't be as bad as I thought."

The game was fast and the opposing team was vanquished with outstanding numbers. Once Sakura was out of the dugout, her favorite blond ran up in joy. "Sakura that was amazing!"
Sakura smiled with a small blush of the attention, "Thanks Ino." The blond walked over to the school with Sakura and waited for her outside. Soon the pinkette came out, dressed in her usual outfit. They chatted along the way to the parking lot until the softball player met up with her dad, who had an amused fatherly look.
"Sakura who is this?" He asked childishly as Sakura glared lightly at him. "This is Ino Yamanaka, my friend."
Himoto smiled brightly before introducing himself to his daughters 'friend'. "Well Sakura, I am going to be catching a ride with Tsunade for you and Ino can have your own privacy." He said using his peace fingers to quote it before getting punched in the arm by an embarrassed daughter. "Whatever."
Once Himoto left, Sakura turned around to look at Ino sheepishly who was lightly blushing. They quickly got into the car and rode off, on the way to drop Ino off, the blond thought it would be great to go to dinner. She quickly informed her parents by cell phone before the pinkette could agree.
Ino and Sakura argued playfully to where they would go to eat until the driver gave up and let the cheer leader win. They drove over to McDonald's and ordered some food. Ino ordered salad while Sakura ordered a cheese burger.
"So any thing good between you and Tenten?" Sakura said playing with her drink's straw, the blond sighed in defeat on how to start.
"Ah no. She hasn't given any signs on what she thinks of me yet but that's ok." The blue eyed girl admitted finishing up her salad, while the girl across from her blinked at the statement.
"How is that so?" She asked oblivious.
"Because I've got you now." The flirtatious girl admitted before skipping away to the car, the other girl quickly paid for the meal and walked out. Once in the car she looked over to the blond, to only be met by soft lips. Sakura happily returned the intoxicating kiss, the blond dabbed her tongue lightly onto the dominant girls lips. The pinkette pushed her tongue out to meet the other girls tongue and penetrated into the other girl's mouth. Ino let out a throaty moan at Sakura's aggressiveness and allowed her to take control. After wrestling around, Ino broke apart with a small pant while Sakura had a satisfied grin on her face.
"You are a good kisser." Ino stated looking down, trying to still catch her breath. The other girl softly tucked a loose strand of hair behind her panting friend's ear, softly humming in agreement. "So are you."
Ino smiled warmly before lightly placing her hand on Sakura's thigh. The other girl stiffened lightly on the contact while she started to stroke the thigh. She traced small patterns up towards Sakura's desire and teased by going back down. She watched amused at the pink haired girl's already stiffened breaths. Sakura blinked and watched the hand slowly rub and caress her thigh. She watched it get closer in each movement and move away. She wanted Ino, who was too innocent to notice that this game wasn't helping her situation.
But something else boiled in Sakura, a feeling which she didn't know that well. It made a lump in her throat and weakened her. It scared her how that feeling was increasing rapidly. Sakura thought that if she replied in Ino's affections that she would hurt her somehow, hurt the blond in the end. She wasn't sure on why she was thinking this, but it made her think twice if she really wanted to be with Ino. The pinkette wanted to be with Ino but didn't want their relationship to end.
"Umm...I-Ino." She uttered miserably and the grim expression on her face backed up the utterance. The blond quickly stopped her actions and looked confused at the pink haired girl. Ino thought she was enjoying it and rejection bit at her pride.
"I don't think I am ready..." Sakura quickly added at seeing her friend's face, the blond half heartily nodded before buckling the seat belt. The softball player already knew she turned off the moment badly but the feeling inside her grew with each bitter thought.
Ino got out of the car with a mumbled good bye and walked into her mansion before climbing to her room. She automatically plopped onto her bed with saddened eyes. She seen the way Sakura looked when she was doing that, at first it was a heated moment until her eyes started to look scared. But she didn't stop there but continued her ministrations, not until Sakura practically begged her to stop. Her pride faltered a little more than expected at her companions words, now she is starting to think if Sakura really cared that much about her than she thought.
--
Sakura got home about two hours ago but didn't exit the car yet. Instead she sank in her seat and thought over the now hardened feeling. She was scared, scared that she was going to hurt Ino in the end.
This feeling has never plagued her before when she was around Ino, but not until she started to tease her. She practically over thought what was going to happen, she would enjoy the rubbing and Ino would go further. Soon they would both be heated up and either would go somewhere to do the sexual bidding. It was happening to fast for Sakura to enjoy, she also knew herself well enough to know she probably get bored of Ino after that. A hurtful tug ached at her heart at the passing thoughts. The pinkette came to a decision.
If the feeling still infected her when she was around Ino, she would lose chasing after Ino.
She slowly rose from the car and stumbled through the dark of night.
