I don't own naruto.

Memories before the story started cause I'm having trouble thinking of something for this fanfic

Ino Yamanaka jumped over the white fence gracefully, ignoring how the wind chilled her skin; she was in a short tank top and somewhat tight pants after all. Just beyond the fence was the most beautiful meadow in the leaf village, and naturally, the Yamanaka Clan owned the beautiful place.

When she saw a dark figure standing near the small pond, she was startled. Dark hair, probably tall, dark cloths, but what startled her and slightly scared her was the gleaming katana strapped to his back.

She pulled her hair to the side, holding it over her shoulder so it wouldn't fly free and then hid behind a tree, hoping that the figure hadn't noticed her. "Come out," his cold voice said, and Ino closed her eyes, hoping that he hadn't seen her.

When he repeated the words again, she stepped out, a foot first and then her head, but then he wasn't there, he had already disappeared. Then she turned around, a force slammed her back against the tree trunk and a hand was held against her neck, threatening to choke her to death if she dared to move.

His hold stayed the same when he finally began to realize who she was. "Ino Yamanaka?" there was a questioning look as he decided whether to kill her there or just spare her. "It'll save me the trouble if I kill you now," he stated.

Her blue eyes grew wide but she couldn't choke out any words at all. Ino's arms tried pulling his arm off her but he was stronger. "Or, I can keep you alive. You'll be of use later in my life, I mean, you're not bad looking, and you are of a useful clan…" his voice trailed off but he raised a finger, lightly touching the back of it to her cheek to feel her shiver. "And to think, just a few years ago, you were dying for my touch and now you shiver just to a light one…" he smirked noticeably and touched her exposed stomach area before bringing his hand to her chin.

Ino struggled and just at last minute, he fell back and Ino fell to the floor, coughing for breath. Then she fell back, her blonde hair falling onto her back and she looked all around her. "Sasuke?" she called out, rubbing her neck slightly as she continued down the beautiful meadow of flowers and plants.

"Yes?" he responded, his tone somewhat amused and Ino turned around to see him, finding that she was studying how Sasuke had changed even more. More muscular, more handsome, and she could already tell that he was also much stronger.

Ino turned away from him and said, "You're not here for revenge …are you?" she touched the soft strands of her hair and sat down on the grass, closing her eyes and waiting for an answer.

"No, I'm passed that, and besides, I have to restore my clan," he said, and then Ino felt the grass beside her move a bit and when she opened her eyes once again, Sasuke was beside her. "Itachi is dead, I already have the first part complete."

Ino turned her head to the side, smiling, Sasuke had seemed somewhat nicer after two years since his brother dying incident. His personality was a bit kinder but his face still had a scary tone to it when he stared into someone's eyes.

Then she bent her head back and said the subject that she knew was short of touchy for Sasuke. "Do you believe there is love at first sight?" she stared up at the stars up above her head, smiling.

"No."

"Oh, well then I should be getting to bed," Ino said, standing up and she patted at her cloths. "Sasuke, just so you know, you're nicer now that you're over your revenge." and she jumped away, smiling and a bit happy.

Sasuke watched as her form disappeared and he leaned forward. 'She wanted to tell me something,' he thought, and then shrugged his shoulders, a small barely noticeable smile on his face.

~'.~'.~'.~'.~

For two months, both of them visited each other at the middle of the night, enjoying the company they both had with each other. One special night, Ino slowly walked down the meadow in a tight fitting t-shirt that showed her stomach and tight jeans, just wanting to get out of her pajamas to make herself look pretty.

When she looked forward across the field, she saw the dark form near the pond, watching as the fish swam to and then away from him.

"Happy Birthday, Sasuke." She sat in the spot beside him and gave a smile, but he didn't return it. Instead, he gave a confused look back at her. "Your birthday. You're seventeen today."

She said it as if it was the simplest thing the world but he simply dipped a hand into the pond, swirling his hand in it several times before saying, "Oh." he rubbed his hand against the shirt he wore and then leaned back against the ground, saying nothing to her about the subject she had brought up.

Ino stayed sitting up and she turned toward him. "You didn't know it was your birthday today."

He waved a hand, turning himself away from her. "Doesn't matter." then he sat up looking away from her. "It doesn't matter because I don't care," he said sharply, and then turned toward her to see that she was drawing a pattern down in the dirt.

"Ino," Sasuke said, and Ino turned her head toward him, staring into his eyes immediately. "I'm not going to be here tomorrow, I'm busy." then he looked at her, waiting for a response, a simple nod from Ino. Then he leaned forward and captured Ino's lips, giving a fast peck before he disappeared.

Ino smiled, touching her lips where she couldn't believe Sasuke had kissed her on. She turned her head up at the stars.

"Sasuke…"

~'.~'.~'.~'.~

The following night when Sasuke had arrived a bit later than usual, maybe a few hours or so, his eyes immediately traveled to the form sleeping in a small floating boat above the pond, Ino.

Maybe it was the success of the day, but he managed to bring a smile to his face, something that usually took a while to get. He jumped once and landed on the thin wood of the boat, sitting on the side so that his legs were placed on either side of Ino's feet.

There, he studied her, amazed by how her beauty had really shown after he left. She was dressed in a short dress and ended a bit below her knees, thin straps, tall heels, and her gorgeous hair was set loose.

Sasuke sat at where her head was set and picked it up, she grunted before holding onto his arm that he had extended to her. Why hadn't he notice her when he was younger? Maybe it was because she was a bit more annoying and bossy, but she couldn't have been that unattractive that he hated her.

Ino's eyelashes fluttered before her eyelids finally opened, her beautiful blue eyes focusing on Sasuke immediately. "I thought you said you weren't going to be here tonight…" she gave a soft yawn before hugging onto Sasuke's embrace.

"I wanted to see you tonight," he replied, his voice wasn't as cold and he kissed her lips gently. "Why are you so dressed up for tonight if you knew I wasn't going to be here for you?"

A light giggle filled the air. "I knew you were going to be here …you just had to." she touched the fabric of his shirt and then pushed the bangs back that were covering his face.

He sat down on the boat, pulling Ino into his lap. Sasuke kissed her cheek before planting a kiss on her lips. "Then you were right."

To Ino, it was a dream come true that Sasuke had fallen in love with her and she turned around, wrapping her arms around his neck as he kissed her. When he pulled away, Ino pushed him back off the boat, and he fell into the pond water with a loud splash.

The sound of her laughter rang in his ears as he surfaced and then he pulled her hand into the water. Right after she surfaced she saw Sasuke already on land, he was holding his arms out to her and she grabbed on, immediately being lifted onto the land nearby.

Despite both of them were dripping wet with pond water, she hugged him and immediately a warmth filled within her, drying her cloths at the same time as if she was sitting in front of a warm fire, must have been some Sasuke was doing.

"Sasuke, so this is what you're doing all these nights, sneaking away." Sasuke looked up just as Ino was completely dry to meet the amused eyes of Suigetsu. "Your girlfriend?"

Ino looked away from him. "Yes, my girlfriend. Ino, this is …my teammates, Suigetsu and Jugo." Sasuke placed a kiss on her neck before sliding his lips toward her collarbone.

Suigetsu interrupted the moment with his annoying voice and Sasuke couldn't help but let his eye twitch. "Your spouse to be, right? You would like that won't you, Ino-chan," he said, a teasing tone in his voice as if they had known each other all their life.

She pressed her cheek against Sasuke's chest, his arms immediately wrapping around her body. Ino looked away from both of them, playing with her loose strands before she felt Sasuke dig in them, kissing her neck gently before running his hand through her hair, lightly pulling onto the thin straps.

Ino pulled the straps back on and looked at him as he pecked her lips, standing up. "I have to go tonight. Goodnight, Ino." he gave a small smile, jumping into the air before vanishing with his teammates.

~'.~'.~'.~'.~

After several more months of dating secretly, Ino's attitude toward everyone began to change slowly, but of course, no one would have ever known it was her first love that was making her much more kinder. Bit by bit, she began to get stronger, matching Sakura's skills easily with her own clan jutsus before finally the night came for Sasuke's decision.

Ino slowly walked over the light flowerbeds and jumped over a high fence, careful not to make any noise at all as she crept slowly across her father's garden and out into the open fields behind the beautiful house, decorated with delicate flowers and beautiful trees.

She let her blue eyes scan over the area and she slipped a hand under her blond bangs pulling them out of her view before sighing and looking down at the river that sat below, the water shining in seeing the full moon out.

Her foot began to walk down the kill, nearly floating over the delicate flowers and down toward the river. Two hands covered her eyes and then she let a light giggle leave her lips. "Sasuke…" she softly said, her voice full of love for the person behind her. She felt him slowly place something soft and light into her hair, lightly kissing her forehead in the process.

He pressed her down against the soft green grass and she slowly allowed him and then felt his lips press against hers softly, in a loving way. "I'm thinking of coming back to Konoha tomorrow…" he said, pulling away from Ino.

Originally, he was still a missing ninja, but he managed to meet Ino every night, expressing his love for her in a way that she would never imagine he had to ability to do.

Ino eagerly shook her head no. Pressing a hand against the soft skin of his pale cheek she said, "No! They might kill you…" and she hugged him tightly, "I don't want to lose you." he pulled away to plant another kiss softly.

"It's okay, I won't die. I promise, and don't make it look like you love me, I might have to hurt you," he pressed Ino closer to him, a soft kiss turning slowly into needy and slightly aggressive.

Together, they slightly grabbed at each other's cloths, creating yet another night of passion and love.

Whatchu think? Tell me! I liked this chapter, it's on the memories before the whole story started, k?

Yeah, yeah, I know my chapter for "Different" really sucked, don't rub it in .

I tried my best! I'm pretty sure a new one-shot is coming out too, SasuIno.

Hm ...I think that's all I can say so... yeah ...leave me a review...
