Music: SaiIno

Ino could not wipe the smile off her face or the memory of her and Sai tongue twisting in the school hallway. 'Sunflower' she thought 'that is so much better than ugly, wait until Sakura sees me with him'
"See you tomorrow Sai" Ino said kissing Sai for the last time that day
Sai smiled "See you tomorrow sunflower" he grabbed her and kissed her again
Ino walked into her parent's flower shop and entered.

"What's his name?" a man asked
Ino froze "Who?" trying to act dumb 'How the heck did he see? We were standing in the blind spot area of the shop'
"The one you were kissing and the one who is walking on the other side of the street and can't keep his eyes off the stop." He pointed out
"A-a-a classmate" Ino fiddled with her long golden fringe
"It's no use, stop lying to me. You always give yourself away when you fiddle with your hair and plus you're late which you never are" the man stated. He then pointed at her hair "And I know you like sunflowers but you've never come home with one in your hair like that"
Ino was speechless and just looked to the floor trying to hide the red line across her cheeks.
"Your clothes aren't messy which means you two didn't do things you shouldn't have been doing" he continued
"Dad!" Ino said
"I'm not going to be difficult and say that you shouldn't date him, just be careful okay" Mr Yamanaka said
Ino nodded "Okay, I will" she began to walk to her the office
"You didn't tell me his name" Mr Yamanaka shouted but Ino closed the door. "Don't you want a vase for the flower?" He shouted
Ino dashed out of the office "Yes please"
Mr Yamanaka held the vase tight "His name?"
Ino looked outside and then pointed "Look dad, across the street, mom is walking with another man"
Mr Yamanaka immediately looked outside "She's what?"
Ino grabbed the vase and ran back towards the office door "Thanks dad"
Mr Yamanaka turned back to see his daughter open the office door with the vase he held so tightly in her hands "You got me this time Ino, but I still want to know his name"
Ino didn't answered instead she smiled at her dad then shut the office door.
Mr Yamanaka stared at the office door 'Is it Shikamaru or maybe its Choji.'

Two hours later

Ino came bursting out the door "I'll be back right back dad"
"Hey where are you going young lady?" Mr Yamanaka shouted
Ino stood in front of the door ready to leave "T-to get a tattoo"
"What?! Over my dead body!" Mr Yamanaka shouted as he walked towards the door
"Relax dad, let me explain. The arts and crafts store up the road is selling kanji temporary tattoos which wash out and plus you'll get to find out his name now" Ino explained "and its civies day tomorrow remember"
"It better come off or I'll peel it off" Mr Yamanaka threated
Ino hugged her father " That would hurt…Thanks dad"

20 minutes later

The shop echoed as a jingle played when the door opened in the Yamanaka florist. Mr Yamanaka stood behind the desk working out the budget for the next month, he stopped and searched his daughter for the tattoo "well where is it?"
Ino smiled and turned her back to him
Mr Yamanaka deciphered the kanji "Sai? What kind of name is that?" he asked
Ino turned back to face her father "a mysterious one dad"
He nodded in agreement "Yes, a mysterious one. That makes me very nervous Ino, are you sure he is okay"
Ino nodded "he seems kind but dad I just met him so I can't really tell, if I come home crying one day you know what happened"
Mr Yamanaka held his daughter and kiss her on the forehead "Okay, but be cautious. I love you so much"
Ino hugged him in return "I know you do dad. Can we go home now?"
"Yes, let's get out of here. Your mom has already called 6 times" Mr Yamanaka informed his daughter.
Ino looked at her father with a worried face "Did you tell mom?"
He nodded "Yes, she was already saying no but I told her that I saw him and he seems okay"
"And?" Ino asked
"She wasn't too happy about it but I'll try and win her over when we get home okay, now let's go before she calls again" Mr Yamanaka said
"Not without my flower dad" Ino ran into the office to fetch her flower
"Alright but hurry up" Mr Yamanaka said

Yamanaka Residence

Ino's mom didn't like the idea completely but she told Ino she would let have a bit of freedom with the boy name Sai. Ino was head over hills about it and was dying to phone Sakura and tell her but she thought it would be better to surprise her the next morning on the bus.

After spending two hours trying to pick what to wear Ino lay on her bed and tried to read her biology book but nothing she read made any sense 'all I hear in my head is his voice, his charming voice'
She tossed the book aside, switched the light off and rested her head on the pillow. She lay awake for 3 hours waiting for sleep to claim her but nothing happened 'music maybe'. Ino got up and grabbed her LeafBox (MP3 player), she exited out of her usual genre of music which was R'n'B and Pop to House. She scrolled down and the list of songs and found the songs she wanted to hear, she started out with: Right Here by Bliss then This World by Dominica then Something About You (Jonathan Morning's black light mix) by Lorayne then La Ritournelle by Sebastien Tellier then It's You, It's Me by Kaskade then finally Brand New Day by The Return. After listening to these songs over and over for 1 and a half hours sleep finally claimed Ino.

Ino's Dream

The light of the sun felt warm on her skin, her chest rose as she took a deep breath in before separating her eyelids to a cloudless blue sky. Her body lay in a sea of yellow sunflowers; she watched them sway in the light breeze. She smiled and then shut her eyes again. She then felt a little bit cold; as if something was blocking the sun's warmth from reaching her skin. She unwillingly parted her eyes and saw a silhouette, it was of someone familiar, someone she knew. The person reached out their hand to her "Are you okay…sunflower?"

-End of dream-

Ino jumped up in fright as the alarm rang '05:38AM'. Ino rubbed her eyes clearing them of the hard grain of dust that had developed through her 4 hours of sleep. She stretched and made her way to the bathroom where she freshened up; she smiled when recalled the day before 'sunflower'.
She turned around to check if her tattoo was still together and not torn apart "phew, it's still looking good." She made her bed and looked at the clothes she picked 'Should I really wear this? I mean this is the only day throughout the whole year where I get to wear my own clothes other than that dreaded uniform and the first time I am dating a guy from school...no its perfect' Filled with excitement Ino got dressed put on a small amount of makeup and headed to the dining room for breakfast.

Breakfast

She ate as fast as she could, her parents watched with amazement "My, are we in a hurry today" Mr Yamanaka pointed out
Ino nodded "I don't want to miss the bus"
"Sai right?" Mr Yamanaka guessed
Ino swallowed the last of her breakfast "Ummm…I don't know what you mean" Ino got up and ran back to her room
She went to her desk and picked up the sunflower and sniffed it before running back to the dining room to kiss her dad on his cheek then dashing out of the house.

The Bus stop

There were lots of school kids standing in a queue at the bus stop 'Ah so many students.' She took her place at the end of the line. She became lost in thought "Are you okay….sunflower?" a voice echoed in her mind. She looked at the hand "Sai….? Sai was in my dream…." She smiled 'He really was in my dream, I'm no longer lying in the sunflowers alone…' she thought

Ino then waited for what felt like forever and then the bus finally arrived; Ino could barely hold herself together, she looked through the window for Sai 'Maybe he has a seat for us'
When Ino entered it was the same as always, packed full of school kids. Ino sighed and looked at the seats to see of Sai was there but he wasn't so she grabbed hold of one of the poles. She leaned against it showing her despair and anger 'he's not here…he must be late. I can't believe it'

"Why the long face pig?" Sakura asked
"Nothing forehead!" Ino snapped
"It seemed like you were looking for someone" Sakura asked
Ino nodded "But he is not here"
Sakura looked at her in complete shock "He?"
"Yes he, my boy friend" Ino confirmed
"Since when?" Sakura laughed
"Since yesterday" Ino said
"Which loser would want to date you pig?" Sakura continued to laugh
Ino became annoyed and grabbed Sakura by her pink blouse "He is not a loser, and you don't even know him like I do!"
Naruto stood up trying to stop the growing tension but Ino pushed him out the way. Shikamaru pulled Ino back "Hey calm down, how can you let her get to you like that?"
Ino pushed Shikamaru off her "And you also, you openly mocked him when you knew nothing about him"
Shikamaru looked at her in confusion "What?"
"Don't what me! You know exactly what I am talking about and don't and act like you don't know what love feels like. I've seen you with that Sunagakure girl and you're scared of how you'll be treated if you tell anyone that's why-" Ino paused "Leave me alone, I like the guy so back off"
Shikamaru held his hands in defence "Okay, don't get so uptight. Why do you always have to be so troublesome?"
"Let's not fight. We're friends right?" a young spirit said "Share the joys of youth"
"Man, Guy sensei has really gotten to you Lee" a calm voice said
"Neji are you mocking Guy-sensei's way?" Lee's tone became aggressive
"Think what you like I know that's not what I meant" Neji said "Now everyone needs to stop this at once. It's the last day before spring break and I doubt any of you want to see Tsunade today"Silence filled the bus and everyone got back to their seats. Ino glared at Sakura the turned her back away gazing out the window 'I wish he was here'.

A voice called out to Ino in the distance "Sunflower….sunflower….gorgeous sunflower"
Ino looked turned back and saw the guy she had been defending for the last few minutes standing at the near the back of the bus listening to his LeafBox. Ino pushed her way through many kids and stood in front of her new love.
"Are you okay?" Sai asked
"I am now" Ino blushed
"I was listening to music so I missed what happened there, I hope everything is okay" Sai said
Ino nodded "Just a simple misunderstanding" she walked closer to her love "What are you listening to?"
"I'm listening to house music" Sai answered
"I love house music, what song?" Ino asked
Just then the bus rode of a pothole causing Ino to fall forward. Sai managed to catch her in time "Are you alright? You need to hold onto something otherwise you'll fall and hurt yourself" Sai paused "I don't want to see you get hurt"
Ino blushed feeling his arm wrap her "S-so can I h-hold onto you?"
Sai held her tighter "With pleasure sunflower"

"Sunflower?" Naruto said curiously
"What a lame name" Sakura added "and so is that tattoo"
"Being called sunflower is far better than called ugly" Shikamaru added
Sakura pulled her tongue out at Shikamaru who shrugged his shoulders.
Naruto looked at Sakura "You and Sasuke will have a moment like that someday Sakura, I promise"
Sakura smiled "Thanks Naruto"
"And for what it's worth I don't think you're ugly" Naruto exchanged a wide smiled to Sakura
Sakura smiled back "It still doesn't mean I'll go out with you though"

Sai handed one of his ear pieces to Ino "Would you like to listen?"
Ino nodded and placed the ear piece into her ears "I love this song. Want to sing it with me?"
Sai felt embarrassed "I can't sing"
"Neither can I. But let's just sing the chorus" Ino suggested
Sai nodded. They both began to sway to the music and almost everyone in the bus had their eyes on this pair as they sang to the music

Here we are,
In this world.

Here we are in this world

"We are here" Sai sang
Ino knew that, that part wasn't in the song so she just played along "Yes, in this world…together" she whispered soft into his ears.
"I love your tattoo sunflower" Sai said looking at the reflection in the bus window
Ino smiled "That makes me happy love"
