The Breaking Point

Chapter Eight

When Sasuke woke up the next morning he noticed he wasn't in his room. He was in the living room. Then he looked down and saw Ino, fast asleep in his lap. Then he remembered she had stayed over last night. He smiled at her and began shifting around trying to get up without waking her up. He grabbed the pillow that was under his arm and placed it under her head as he stood up. She shifted her position but stayed asleep. Sasuke covered her up with a blanket and went into the kitchen. When he got in the kitchen he saw his mother on the phone while making breakfast. He saw his father's mug next to the sink and figured he had gone to work. Mikoto continued to make breakfast and chat on the phone. "Yeah, he just woke up…pause… Yes, she's still asleep… pause… I'll do that… pause… Yes, goodbye." She hung up the phone.

"Morning Sasuke. Did you sleep well?" She asked him with her back to him. "Mhmm. Was that m…" "Yes it was. I told her Ino came here for the night and she is ok." Sasuke nodded and it was silent. "After breakfast I'll have Itachi drive her home." Mikoto explained. "Ok." A minute later Ino walked in yawning. Mikoto turned to her and smiled. "Good morning, Ino, did you sleep well?" She asked cheerily. Ino smiled. "Yes, thank you. And thanks for letting me stay overnight." Mikoto nodded and dished out the food on three plates. "Sasuke, I have to go out for a bit. When your brother wakes up give him his food." She told him placing two plates on the table. Sasuke nodded and began eating. With that Mikoto left.

Ino sat down next to Sasuke and also began eating. It was completely silent between the two.Then Ino broke the silence "Sasuke?" She said quietly. He responded with hmm. "Thank you." He looked confused. "For what?" He asked. "For everything. You've been so nice to me." She smiled at him. "It's no big deal." He said looking down at his plate. She put her hand on his. "No, it is." She said. He looked up at her. "Ino, I…" "Good morning little brother, little brother's girlfriend." Itachi said walking into the kitchen. Both of their hands quickly slipped away. Ino was blushing like mad and Sasuke was glaring at his brother. "Where's my food?" Itachi asked. "On the counter." Sasuke said. Next to the plate sat a little note from his mother. Itachi picked it up and began reading it out loud. "Dear Itachi, when you are finished eating breakfast please drive Ino home. Her mother has been worried sick. Love Mom." Itachi crumpled the note up and brought his plate to the table.

He sat across from Sasuke. "Well little brother, what did you two do last night?" Itachi asked taking a bit of his eggs. "Nothing." Sasuke growled. He stood up and took his and Ino's empty plates to the sink. Then the two teens went upstairs to change. While they were up there the phone rang and Itachi picked it up. After Ino and Sasuke had come down Itachi finished eating and threw on some clothes that seemed clean. "C'mon, let's go. Deidara called I gotta meet him in ten minutes." Itachi said grabbing his keys and walking to the door. The teens followed him out to the car and got in. Itachi turned on the car, backed out and drove off.

Once they got to Ino's house Sasuke got out and walked her to the door. Ino sighed. "Well, wish me luck dealing with my mother." Sasuke smiled at her. "You'll be fine. Just promise me you won't do anything like that again." Ino smiled and nodded. She turned to the door but stopped for a minute. She turned back to Sasuke and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Then she opened the door and went inside. Sasuke smiled and touched his cheek where she had kissed. Then he turned and went to the car. "Sasuke's got a girlfriend. Sasuke's got a girlfriend." Itachi sang. Sasuke punched him and told him to drive. He looked at the house one last time and Itachi pulled out and drove away.
