I LOVE ALL OF YOU!!!! I feel like crying I love you so much. I swear I wouldn't have made it this far without your encouragement. I don't know why but right now I'm feeling like I wanna cry. But I need to be strong and continue with my story. If not goodness only knows what some of you might do to me. Haha well here goes nothing. Oh and do not think I've forgotten.

I DON'T OWN NARUTO. Trust me you'd know if I owned Naruto. LOL.

The Breaking Point

Chapter Twelve

All the students trudged to school through the thick glistening snow. Each complaining about something and yet all happy to be back and with their friends. The week after the dance had been holiday break and the students were at home with their family and friends.

Ino yawned as she made her way to the doors of the school. She walked to her locker, put in her combination and shoved her bag into the cramped space. She slammed the door shut and jumped. "Ah, holy crap Naruto, what are you doing there?" She asked holding her hand over her heart to show how surprised she was. The blonde boy smiled innocently and shrugged. "I dunno, how was your break?" He asked falling in step beside her as they walked down the hall. "Eh, I was sick the whole week." She said. "That sucks. I was hanging out with Hinata." He said blushing a little. Ino smiled at him. And as if on cue said shy girl walked over and gave Naruto a quick peck on the lips. Then she turned to Ino. "How are you feeling Ino Chan?" She asked gently. "I'm feeling great. Thank you." She answered. "I'm sure you'd feel better if you didn't have to move tomorrow." Hinata said sadly. "Well, yes I'll miss you guys but I do need to just leave after everything that happend." She sighed. "I guess my mom was right." There was silence among the three. Then the bell rang and they hustled off to class.

Three periods later Ino sat in Study Hall alone. She looked up at the door just in time for Sasuke to walk in. "Hi." She said as he walked past her. He didn't reply or even look at her, he kept walking and sat on the other side of the classroom and stared out the window. Ino looked down to hide the tears in her eyes.

At lunch she sat with her friends and everyone gave her going away presents. "Guys, don't worry I'll be back in two years. And I'll write to you and I'll visit during the summers." She explained. "We know, but we're still gonna miss you like crazy, Ino." Tenten said hugging her. Hinata nodded and joined the hug. "I just wish I wasn't leaving things like this with Sakura and Sasuke." She said after they had let her go. "Ino, I can't believe you're still worrying about that bitch. " Tenten said angrily. "She was my best friend since we were eight." Ino said sullenly. Suddenly Neji stood up. "What's up Neji?" Tenten asked her boyfriend. He didn't answer and walked off. "That was weird." Ino said. Hinata nodded.

Sasuke sat in the Library holding a book, but not reading it. "Maybe I shouldn't trust Sakura. I mean she would do anything to get my attention. Wouldn't she?" He thought to himself. "Uchiha." A deep voice said from in front of him. He looked up and saw Neji standing there with his arms crossed. "What do you want?" He asked slightly annoyed. "Talk to her. She's leaving tomorrow." Sasuke shook his head. "Why should I? She's got her perfect boyfriend." He said turning his back on the Hyuuga. "Because she needs you. For some reason you make her happy." Neji said. Then he turned and walked out of the Library leaving Sasuke to his thoughts.

After school Ino got picked up by her mother and they went home. The two ate their dinner in complete silence. The house was already packed up and the furniture was being sent to a warehouse to be picked up by Ino after she finished high school and came back. "How was school?" Akina asked. "Fine." Ino replied pushing a piece of carrot around her plate with her fork. "You alright? You've barely touched your food." Ino nodded. "I'm just gonna go to bed now." She said clearing off her plate inot the trash. She kissed her mother goodnight and went to her room and went to sleep.

At the Uchiha's house Sasuke was home alone with Itachi. Sasuke was silent while he ate. Itachi came into the kitchen with a smirk on his face. "How was school, Sasuke?" Sasuke glared at his brother. "I don't know." He said. "Have you talked to her yet?" Itachi asked standing in front of the refrigerator. "Why does everyone want me to talk to her?! She's the one who broke my heart!" Sasuke snapped. He stood up and stormed off to his room. "Poor little brother."

The next day Ino and her mother woke up bright and early. They took their showers and packed their things up. Then the two left the house and headed toward the airport. Ino's friends went with her to the airport since they had a snow day. She hugged each one goodbye and the three girls were crying. "I promise I'll come back." She said to her friends. Then she and Akina boarded the plane.

Sasuke woke up at eleven thirty and went to the kitchen to get food. As he walked past the living room he heard Itachi call out his name. "Wait little brother, isn't she leaving today?" Sasuke glared at his brother but said nothing. Itachi was getting feed up. He grabbed his brother's shoulder and threw him against the wall. "Look Sasuke, I've tried being subtle and it doesn't work for me. So listen up!" Sasuke was shocked. "I know you're crazy about her and you really care for her but you're being an ass. If you're just gonna let her leave without saying a word then you're just as stupid as I thought you were. So what do you say? Shall we get the girl and have a happy ending?" Itachi shouted. Sasuke nodded slowly. Then with more force threw his brother off of him. He looked at the clock. "Her plane leaves in ten minutes. We won't make it to the airport in time." He said. "We'll just have to try." Itachi said grabbing his car keys and dragging his bother out the door.

The two brothers got to the airport and ran to the terminal her plane was at. They stopped and looked around frantically. People were staring but Sasuke didn't care. Itachi an over to the counter. "Excuse me Miss, but where is plane three ninety to Paris?" He asked politely. "Oh, that flight left twenty minutes ago." She said kindly with a smile. Sasuke ran up to Itachi. "Sorry little brother." Sasuke looked down with disappointment. Then a light bulb went off in Itachi's head. "I've got it. C'mon little brother." He said walking away from the terminal. "Where are we going?" Sasuke asked in confusion. Itachi simply smiled and said, "To get your girl."

Ino stared out the window the entire flight. She missed her friends and Sasuke. "I wish I had gotten the chance to say goodbye to him." She thought. Soon they had landed in Paris. They got off the plane and began making their way to baggage claim. Ino sighed sadly. "Time to start my new life." She thought. She was staring at the ground as she walked and looked up every time to time to see where she was. She looked up only to see none other than Sasuke Uchiha standing a few feet away from her. He mouth hung open for a moment. Then she dropped her bags and ran to him.

Tears were flowing down her face as she stood there in his arms. She looked up into his big dark eyes. "What are you doing here?" She asked. "The band owed my brother a favor." He explained. "You came all the way to Paris," "I wanted to apologize. I didn't give you a chance to explain. I'm sorry." Ino smiled. He bought his head next to her ear. "I love you." He whispered. She smiled warmly and kissed him. When they pulled apart Sasuke said, "So you forgive me?" She grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him into another kiss. "There's your answer." She held his hand and they walked away together.
