"You have a choice forehead, either stay with that bastard Sasuke and let him abuse you, or you can stay with me." The young Haruno was her addict and Ino Yamanaka was slowly becoming addicted.

Just as You've Always Tasted

.

Sakura hid behind the bathroom door, tears spilling from her eyes down her bruised cheeks as she felt the door slowly giving way as Sasuke constantly kicked at it, igniting an all too familiar fright within her core.

He was drunk; even after he had swore he would quit drinking just for her.

That was just a load of bull that he was throwing at her just to have her all to himself once more, she noted as she peered around the small bathroom in search of another way out without having to face the animalistic rage of her on and boyfriend, Sasuke Uchiha.

Apparently before he called her, slurring through the line for her to pick him up, he had lost a bet against Gaara, therefore losing fifty bucks straight from his wallet. And now he was taking his anger out on her, just as he promised her he wouldn't.

On their long drive home, he had managed to mare her arm with his teeth, biting her when she threatened to smash the car into the nearest building on his side if he didn't cool it. He had also managed to break her nose by head butting her, on accident, when he was stumbling out of the car.

"Get out of the damn bathroom Saki-chan; I want to talk to you."

His voice was slurred as he banged against the cracking wood, making her jolt in surprise. She stumbled back onto the covered toilet seat, scraping her arm against the sharp edge of the sink.

The banging ceased.

Sakura looked on hopefully as she thought he had left or just decided to bother with her in the morning once he was restless and hung-over. She had to leave the bathroom sometime since they were staying in a cheap hotel together.

They had decided earlier that day that they would celebrate their renewal of their broken relationship together by renting a room at a sleazy hotel for the night and make passionate love to one another until dawn.

It had sounded appealing then but now the simple thought of sleeping in the same room as her boyfriend made her want to gag, adjusting herself against the closed toilet seat so her bum would hurt less.

The jiggling of the doorknob caught her attention, frightening her once the door swung open, the hinges soon breaking from the previous damage.

Sasuke was panting frantically as if he had been running for days, non-stop, looking for her. But in reality he had been just on the other side of the bathroom door, trying to break in.

"What the hell is your problem, locking yourself inside the bathroom and away from me?! Isn't this night supposed to be about me and you?"

He grasped her wrist tightly, dragging her out of the bathroom and into the room. She yelped as he tossed her onto the bed carelessly, sinking down next to her. He furiously rubbed his hands over his face as if to scrub away his drunken features, the tip of his head resting against her shoulder blade.

"I did it again didn't I?"

"Did what?"

Her voice came out in a shaky whisper, wanting just to be away from him, her hands trembling as she clutched the rough material of her khakis. He nestled his nose in the crook of her neck, inhaling her sweet scent before pulling away from her altogether.

"I hurt you again didn't I?"

Well at least he was sober enough to know he had overreacted and was throwing her around as if she were a damn rag doll that could be tossed around lightly. She released a deep breath, thinking of the right plausible answer that wouldn't set his sober moment up in flames.

"N-no, I was just clumsy and ran into the bathroom door a couple of times once we arrived home. It's really stupid but I was a bit tipsy from the shots we drank."

"Shots? Oh, shit; how many did I have?"

"Two."

She easily lied, clutching his hand as she rested her head against his as if his power was venting out to her, drawing her closer to him. He did the same, his half closed lids drooping a bit as he embraced her torso.

"We're mad."

"How so?"

"I can't seem to stop drinking and you can't seem to stop lying for me."

Her forest eyes downcast as she fidgeted, her fingers twisting a heap of her pant leg. If he knew she was lying about how much he was drinking, how much more did he know she lied about? His hair tickled her cheek as he shifted his head so his cheek pressed against hers.

"We're perfect for each other then."

"Keh, if you say so."

"Why don't you think so? You said it yourself that we both lie to each other and we're perfectly content with that, aren't we?"

He rubbed his cheek against hers as if he were a cat, his hold on her tightening. Her previous thoughts of leaving this man left her mind as she leaned into his hold, kissing his cheek.

"Sasuke?"

"What?"

"This isn't exactly how I pictured our day to come out but in the end, I guess it was a pretty alright day."

"Hn, whatever."

She could tell by the lack of focus in his voice that he was either tired or ready to puke up all the shots, Vodka, and Corona that he drank during their celebration. His head began to grow heavy against hers as his eyelids drooped.

Sakura hadn't been prepared for his head sinking into her lap as he threw up in her lap, drenching her pants with different substances that he with took earlier that day. Some of it looked like tomatoes which it probably was considering Sasuke Uchiha loved tomatoes.

So, she just patted his back heartily as he cough and sputtered in her lap.

……………………………………………………………………….

"So, I was wondering if you had anything planned for tonight…because if you don't would you like to … you know, go out sometime with me?"

"You would want to take me out?"

Ino's converse sneakers squeaked against the tiled floors of the museum as she trudged along side Shikamaru, his hands clenched into his pockets. He wanted to just put his arm around her but that would seem as if he were being to forward with her and he didn't want to come off as a jerk to her.

She was precious, fragile in his eyes and it looked as if the simplest touch could break her. And he didn't want that.

"Of course I would, I'm not some jock that would judge you by your looks Ino; besides you're already beautiful to me."

"B-Beautiful?"

She chocked on his words, pressing her hand to her throat to try and maneuver the thick bile that begun to form. Why was he calling her all these things that only one person had ever called her? Did he only want what was in her pants just as Sakura had? Or does he actually want to pursue a relationship with her?

"Yes, beautiful,"

They paused before a masculine sculptured male that was nude, a leaf covering his private area from the world so some adults wouldn't be intimidated to bring their children. He grasped her shoulders, tugging her in closer proximity to him.

"Why wouldn't you think you are? You have this wonderful blonde hair that you refuse to let hang, powerful blue eyes that captivate me and you're smart. What more could a guy ask for out of a woman?"

He managed to untie her hair from her bun, her hair tumbling down to her shoulders in wavy strands. He ran his fingers through her blonde mane, grasping the end of her mane and pulling her face closer to his.

She gasped lightly as he dragged his mouth onto hers; igniting a flame within her that only Sakura had ever lit as she pressed her small hands to his chest. Would she have been selfish if she responded to his caresses?

Would it have been asking for too much if she just wanted him to sweep her into his arms right then?

Ino pushed those thoughts to the back of her mind as she responded to his kiss, her lips parting to accommodate his wondering tongue. Her stomach was dancing at the feel of his body pressed to her own, the evidence of his excitement taunting her.

She thought her knees would give out if he hadn't removed his hands from her hair and embraced her, never letting go of her lips.

Bliss.

Pure ecstasy.

Just the feel of being in his arms set her off, wanting nothing more than for their embrace to last just a bit longer. But he pulled away, his forehead resting against hers as the tried to regain their uneven breathing.

His finger grazed her swollen lips, drawing his face in so he could place a quick peck to her cheek.

"You tasted just as I imagined you would taste, sweet."

Her face flushed under his scrutiny, her gaze averting from his. She hadn't noticed but her hands were grasping the thin material of his shirt tightly in her fists; he chuckled lightly as he pried her hands from him, taking one of her hands in his own.

"Shikamaru, Ino!"

Sakura rushed to them from the other side of the museum, almost hitting a family of four in her attempt to cross before them. Ino groaned, pressing her and Shikamaru's conjoined hands to her forehead.

She knew things were going just too well between her and him.

The cherry blossom's step faltered upon noticing their laced hands, fingers entwined. Her green eyes glazed over briefly before forcing herself not to care. She and Ino didn't have each other. They had ended their taboo affair once the errors of their lust were noticed by her boyfriend.

She had publicly humiliated her lover.

Her lover in turn left her for a man.

"This is a bit of a surprise don't you think?"

"Where's Sasuke?"

Ino wasted no time interrogating her of her boyfriend's whereabouts, wanting just once for her cherry blossom to slip up and say he had beaten her as he always had. She could tell from her paled features that she hadn't been eating and that she was being abused.

If it wasn't for Shikamaru's presents, the blonde would've taken her ex-lover into her arms and kiss away her sorrow.

But that chapter of their life was over.

They both had men to fill the void of missing the other.

"He's over there looking at the display of cavemen. We had come earlier because I had hoped to catch you alone but I see that you aren't."

Sakura sized up her opponent before flicking her gaze back to her lover as to not give away any hints of her oncoming jealousy. But Ino had caught onto it, her heart pounding wildly against her rib cage as she released his hand.

"Well shouldn't you be over there with him? You know how tempered Sasuke can get."

"I know but right now I don't care. Could I talk to you in private Ino?"

"Why can't you talk to me right here in front of Shikamaru?"

"Because it is important!"

Sakura hissed before reaching out to drag her ex-lover along with her outside, releasing her once they were hidden behind one of the large pillars holding up the roof of the large museum.

"What the hell is so impor…?"

Before she could finish, her cherry blossoms lips covered her own, her hands grasping her waist to pull her against her. Ino let a small gasp escape her lips, giving her cherry blossom access to her cavern as her tongue plunged into her mouth.

Her hands squeezed the mounds of her ass as the kiss deepened the blonde steady trying to fight against her lust. Her hands pushed against her shoulders, her cheeks flushing as her ex-lovers hands sank within the waist band of her pants.

A moan shattered her fighting as she leaned into her cherry blossoms sweet assaults, her hands weaving themselves into her sea of pink locks hungrily. Sakura knew exactly what to do to calm her raging hormones and what to do to make her hot and bothered.

Sakura pulled away, her hands nestled within the crease of her lover's ass, her fingers taunting the small hole. She knew that that simple act was turning her mistress on because Ino had told her that she loved it from behind.

And she wasn't ever going to forget that.

"Stop trying to make me so damn jealous! If you would just come back to me, we would have to worry about doing this in public."

She hissed against the shell of her ear before her tongue darted into her inner ear, making her blonde mistress buckling against her. Her fingers plunged into the hole of her lover's ass rather hastily, Ino crying out in pleasure.

"S-stop please…oh fuck."

"Not until you call off this stupid plan of yours. I hate to see you this way every time you get around me. What? Has he not been fucking you hard enough?"

"Oh god…no he hasn't."

Ino whimpered as her cherry blossom began to slowly thrust her fingers in and out of her ass purposely as if trying to punish her for calling off their affair.

"Good. Now call off the plan so I can stop tormenting you. Wouldn't you like that?"

Her lips lingered along her blonde mistress's jaw line as her fingers pumped in and out of her, receiving moans and groans of pleasure from her lover.

"Yes…oh fuck yes! It's off…fuck it's off! I-I'm all yours!"

A smirk toyed Sakura's lips as her lover came on her fingers, yanking her hand from her pants and bringing her fingers to her lips to taste her lover.

"Just as you've always tasted, sweet."

Okay sorry it took so long to update but I was trying to figure out a way for Ino and Sakura to hook up again with them both involved with men. Like Sakura being involved with Sasuke and Ino being involved with Shika.
