I love to read what you guys think. Heheh Enjoy.
--Chapter Four: Interrogation--
That night, Ino had been struck with insomnia. She wasn't able to sleep a wink after hearing Tsunade's news. So Sasuke was back. How would she react when she saw him? How should she react?
Ino held onto the necklace Sasuke had given her and sighed. After four years, Ino was finally going to see Sasuke. The Yamanaka thought of how he would look, his attitude, everything. Would they still be the same? Finally the alarm clock rang, and Ino stepped away from the window.
She went to the closet and took out her regular purple outfit. Once she had dressed, she once again took hold of her necklace. 'This is going to be hard.' With that thought in mind, Ino walked out the door.
After a few minutes of walking, she reached the interrogation Department. With Sasuke's file in one hand, Ino took a deep breath and stepped into the room Tsuanade had confined Sasuke in.
'Sasuke looks incredible.' Ino thought as she tried to suppress a smile and ignored the pounding of her heart. The Yamanaka silently walked in and looked him straight in the eyes. "Hello, Sasuke. Remember me?"
Sasuke looked into Ino's eyes but showed no emotion. After years of solitude, Sasuke had become a profession at hiding his emotions. But he was horrible at hiding them from himself. And the emotions he was feeling right now were incredible. He was ecstatic at seeing the blonde. After so many years, he couldn't believe he felt the same as he had four years ago. 'Ino really has matured.'
"Uchiha! Hi, yeah. I asked you a question. Do you remember who I am? Or am I just someone you could care less about." Ino's coldly spoken words sent chills down Sasuke's spine.
"I remember you every day." Sasuke's words caused Ino's eyes to widen. "I see you still have the necklace. I have mine, too." Reaching into his pocket, the sharingan-user took out a necklace similar to that of Ino's. If Ino had been shocked at the first words he had spoken, she was beyond taken aback by Sasuke's revelation.
Regaining her confidence, Ino stood up from her seat and began walking a bit. "Let's get to business, shall we? Why did you leave?"
"You ignored my last comment."
"Uchiha, I ask the questions here. Now answer." The blonde tried her hardest to keep herself together. She wanted so badly to wrap her arms around him, but she knew she had to control herself. What she didn't know was that Sasuke felt the same way.
Sasuke tried hard to understand Ino's reaction towards him. Had she moved on? Did she hate him, too? If so, why did she still have the necklace? The Uchiha turned his head away and looked down. "I left because Orochimaru promised me power. Power I needed to kill Itachi."
"I heard you killed Orochimaru. Why?"
"Because he misguided me. He never had the intention of getting me the power I needed to kill Itachi. Had I known that, I would have never left."
Ino nodded. "Can you look at me?" Timid words reached the Uchiha's ears. His head turned and noticed Ino had once again sat before him. Obsidian eyes stared into cerulean ones.
"I missed you."
That's when Ino couldn't take it anymore. "I'm sorry. We're done for today." The blonde quickly stood up and ran out of the room.
Once Ino was outside, she leaned against the wall and slowly slid down. Tears rushed out of her blue eyes. Had she stayed any longer inside, Sasuke would have been able to hear Ino's soft whisper. "I missed you, too."
I loved the respond I got from the last chapter. Hahaah Well tell me what you think.
