Chapter 6: Ino's Perspective

Ever since I was a little girl, I always knew I was meant to be somebody. Ever since that dreadful day Naruto shot gum into my hair forcing me to cut it, I knew what my purpose was. I had to stand up for all those who didn't have a voice, so something like that would never happen again to anyone else. I became the class president every year from elementary all the way through high school. It felt great being a voice. Being an impact on students. there was just one person I felt as if I didn't do anything for, and that person was Naruto.

Surprisingly enough, once I entered graduate school, I realized all my hard work paid off. Naruto had worked hard enough to be one of the top students in our school. Who would have guessed that the same knuckle headed boy that I grew up with would become such a smart, mature man? I watched as the handsome blonde walked over to me, he had finally noticed I was here at the party with him. Of course, I couldn't let him know that I knew he was here all along and that ever since I found out about him attending grad school, I researched his entire college career only to find out how amazing he was. I had to act surprise once he got over to me, pretend like I didn't know he was here.

I heard something faint come out his mouth, was that a hi? Well, whether he said hi or not, I can't just stand here, I have to say something back. I looked over in his direction, "Naruto...," I smiled. I couldn't hold back the excitement of seeing him, so I hugged him, but...he didn't hug me back! "Naruto, are you okay," I asked him while pulling away. He's not even looking at me! Am I that repulsing to look at to him? I mean sure, I know I stayed on him, but it was for his own good! If it wasn't for me, he probably wouldn't even be here! I did it...I did it because I've...I've always liked you Naruto! Can't you see that?

"Yeah I'm fine, it's just really hot out here! Woo, I'm burning up! I didn't know you went here! I do too! Well, it was nice seeing you again Ino, but I have to go now so see ya later," he yelled while squeezing his eyes shut. If he didn't want to talk to me, he shouldn't have come over to me in the first place. I see, he just...he just wants to tease me just like he always did. Fine, if he wants to play this game, I will too. I will pretend like it doesn't bother me one bit. I will ignore him for the rest of my days until he can be mature and stop these stupid little pranks.

I don't even know why I like him. I mean sure, he is very attractive, and he does have a certain charm about him, but...but he treats me like garbage! He never looks in my direction, and when it does seem like he's finally stopped, once I wave to him, he just ignores me even more! This is so infuriating! Whatever, we only have a little bit of time left here at school, and then we will go our separate ways. It's a little sad though, I wish we could have at least talked more.

Is this a sign? This is incredible! We are working at the same hospital? I wonder if he noticed me yet? Probably not, he is oblivious to his surroundings. I should know, I did grow up with him, I practically know everything about him. I'm tempted to go over and say hi. He looks kind of busy, maybe I should wait. All the doctors admire him, he is one of the top cardiologist here already. I want him to know how proud I am of him and how much I admire him too. Maybe I, just then, my thoughts were interrupted by a cool, calm voice calling out my name.

"Ino Yamanaka right." I turned around to see a shabby-haired redhead staring down at me with his sleepy red eyes.

"Yes, who are you?"

"My name is Sasori, you can call me Dr. Sasori."

"Dr. Sasori?"

"Yes. Well, come on, I hate waiting." The intriguing doctor said as he turned to walk away. Who was he? I followed him instinctively, not asking him any questions on the way. Just walking in silence. He was captivating me, but why? I hardly knew him! Okay Ino, get a hold of yourself! You need to know who this doctor is and where is he taking you!

"Excuse me Dr.-" I began before being interrupted by him. "This is your first patient. She is three months pregnant, good luck," he said as he strolled off down the hallway. I looked in the room where there was a woman sitting on the bed waiting for me to enter...who was that man?

"Dr. Sasori? Why he's the object of desire for all the women in this hospital. Dr. Sasori is one of the top obstetricians in the hospital and head of the maternity department. The way women flock to him, he's just so good with them! Not only that, he's incredibly smart and good looking! Every female doctor and nurse wants to have their physical done by the doctor...if you know what I mean," said TenTen the head nurse in the maternity wing.

"Dr. Ino-"

"It's Dr. Yamanaka sir."

"Right, how are you adjusting so far? You've been here for almost a month now, and you have quite a few patients. Is it too much for you to handle?"

"No Dr. Sasori! In fact, I enjoy it!"

"Good glad to hear that. I've been hearing good things about you from your patients. From the looks of things, you will eventually surpass me, and we can't have that now can we," Sasori laughed.

I returned the laugh, was he serious though?

"Anyway, from now on, you and I will begin to work hand in hand with each other...just for a little while ok."

"Um, ok but-"

"Good, but remember, I hate to wait, so please try to keep up."

From that day forward, for about six months I worked with Dr. Sasori every day. And during those times of us working together, I grew closer and closer with him. I mean sure at first he seemed like a rude, obnoxious, impatient person, but he was a visionary! He was so smart, beautiful, cool, and charming. There was a lot more to Sasori than the first impression he gives off. Most importantly, he didn't ignore me. He acknowledge all that I did and appreciated me for it. He didn't avoid me like Naruto, he didn't play childish tricks like Naruto, he was just a different man when it came to the two of them.

After working side by side with Sasori for six months and being in the same hospital with him for a whole year, I finally got Naruto out of my system. I don't even know why I even liked him! A folder was placed next to me, maybe it's Sasori! I looked up..."Naruto?" What was he doing here! Why?! Why did you have to come in my wing? You are a cardiologist! There is no reason for you to be here! Not after...not after I finally forgot about you! Why?

"Oh...h-hey...Ino," he said looking away from me again! Okay stay calm! I can't believe he is still doing this! Did he just come over here to torture me?! Oh I see, he noticed that I totally forgot about him, so he comes over here to make sure I still remember his stupid games huh? Okay, two can play this game. I'll just pretend like it doesn't bother me! Like he means nothing to me at all!

"Naruto! You work here as well, I didn't know that. Wow we keep meeting each other in the strangest places. I would have never imagined us working at the same hospital! How long have you been here?"

"O-one ye," he said while putting up his finger. This ass hole!! He is really starting to piss me off! Okay Ino...stay calm, stay calm. The only way to get back at him is to pretend like it doesn't affect you!

"Did you say one year?"

He nodded his head. Jerk!

"Really! Me too! That's great Naruto! I wonder why I never seen you around here before? Wait, weren't you going to school for cardiology, what are you doing in the maternity wing?"

I tried to stay as calm as I could. Oh crap, but now since I've opened my big mouth he knows that I knew what he was going to school for. This man drives me crazy! What is he doing? Why is he taking so long to answer? Is he giving me the silent treatment now? I watched as the rude cardiologist closed his eyes and turned his head in the opposite direction as me. He was going to do it again, wasn't he? Just like that day at the banquet. Suddenly I watched as his face calmed. This was new! What was he up to? "Th-This is some research that Sasori asked if I couldlookupcouldyoupleasegivethistohimthankyougoodbye," he said. What was going on with him? He started off normal, only to be a jerk again! I see, that's what it was! He wanted me to think he was through being a dick head, only to tease me again! He even waved before he left! Only to gloat I suppose! What a freakin' jerk! I looked down at the folder he left on the counter. Maybe I should destroy this. Rip it up into shreds or something. Then Sasori would never get it! But that wouldn't work because once Sasori asks Naruto about it, he would not hesitate to say he left it with me. Only to get me in trouble with Sasori. But...but I want to do something to this. I...I just don't want to let him get away with what he's doing to me anymore!

"Dr. Ino..."

"It's Dr. Yamanaka-," I began to yell before realizing who called me, "Oh Dr. Sasori, it's you! I'm sorry, please it's Dr. Yamanaka sir. I tell you that time and time again."

"Right. Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine, just had a slight headache for a minute that's all."

"I see. I seen Dr. Naruto over here just a little while ago, is that the research he has for me?"

I looked down at the folder. I couldn't lie to him. "Yes," I said defeated.

"Great. He did it in good timing too. I'm going to have a look at it."

I watched as the cool doctor picked up the folder and headed to his office. Damn you Naruto! You won again! I felt drained from all the pressure put on me. I think I should go home for the rest of the day.

Five years went by, and throughout those five years I continued to ignore Naruto and fall deeper and deeper in love with Sasori. What I don't understand though, is how that prick won Dr. Sasori over! Dr. Sasori even calls him by his first name without putting doctor in front of it! He even lets Naruto call him just Sasori! He doesn't call me just by my first name! Whatever. I have to just keep them apart from each other as much as possible. I love Sasori, I can't give him up to that Naruto jerk! I want to tell him my feelings, just like I wanted to tell Naruto. I think Dr. Sasori would handle it better than Naruto, but still I'm not sure whether I should tell him. TenTen thinks I should. She thinks my life is straight out of one of her romance novels, but we all know that it's not. Many things can go wrong, but the anticipation is killing me! I just want to tell him how much I really do care about him. Then again...something is holding me back. As much as I don't want to admit it...I still want, I still like Naruto. I just want to talk to him. When I look at him with other people, he is respectful and mature...even when he's around Sasori! He talks to them, so why does he constantly ignore me? I want to know the truth. What do you truly feel Naruto?

A new day. Well, at least I get to see Dr. Sasori today. I hope he's not talking to Naruto. Maybe I should hurry in the hospital. If Naruto isn't there yet, I could keep the Doctor away from him. I walked in through the automatic sliding doors and heard my name being called by the last person I expected.

"Ino! Wait up! Wait for me!"

I turned around, shocked, "Naruto?!"
