7. Heaven

It was her little piece of heaven. She'd come here when she needed some time to herself. To think or to be alone.

Her overbearing father had done it again!, she knew he wanted the best for her. But sheltering her and not leaving her fly alone was seriously getting on her nerves.

But now it was too much. He'd step the line.

How could he do that to her!. She was his only daughter, an accomplished kunoichi of the village.

How dare he ruin her life with that stupid marriage.

Sure, when she was twelve she was infatuated with the dark and handsome Uchiha. But now, after what she'd seen him do. She didn't want to have anything to do with the proud and stoic second heir.

He was always trying to surpass his awesome and hot older brother. But after his illness became known to the public, all the wait of being the heir of the clan came to rest at the arms of one Uchiha Sasuke.

Oooh but how she knew him. He was a total ass with the girls who still fawn over him, and she knew he'd never stood a chance with Sakura after realizing his feelings for her, because after being rejected too many times for her to count, the pink haired medic set her eyes on the grand price. Uchiha Itachi.

But they soon discovered that she couldn't have children of her own because of the wound she'd received fighting one of the akatsuki members back when they'd being sixteen.

The Uchiha council then decided that Itachi should divorce the pink haired medic, but Itachi being in love with the medic decided that he'd abdicated his right and would let his younger brother take reign as their next clan head.

But before he could take over as clan head, he needed to find a wife. And one who could give birth to the next heir.

And he choose her.

And now she needs to brake the news to her own secret boyfriend, and since a day ago fiancé.

She'd being so happy when her knuckle head of a boyfriend for two years proposed to her at sunset on top of his father head that she'd thrown herself in his arms and cried and screamed yes!

They'd being going out in secret to prevent the pain in the ass her father would have become if he'd known her only daughter was dating one Uzumaki Naruto.

It had being the most amazing and fun years of her life!

Who knew the loud and stupid blond could be so romantic and caring behind doors.

But now it was all going to be over. And all because of her stupid father.

She had thought about braking the news to Naruto and begging him to leave with her to some place, far, far away and get married and live happily ever after.

But she knew she couldn't do that to him. He'd worked so hard trying to reach his dream in becoming Hokage that she couldn't take that away from him.

It would brake his heart, and hers in the process, but she needed to let him go. She couldn't brake the arraigned marriage to Sasuke.

She would be married to him by the end of month.

How ironic it was that ever since she had seen the Uchiha all she'd wanted to do was marry him, and now all she wanted was that for some miracle he'd rolled over and die?

And as she contemplated all the different ways Sasuke could die, as she plucked another flower in her clearing, the same where Sakura and her used to come when they were little to play and pick flowers, her heaven didn't seem like one anymore.

Now her little piece of heaven on earth wasn't this clearing, but in the arms of the man she loved with all her heart, in his tiny and messy apartment cuddling and kissing on his lumpy bed.

And she'd never again would have that.

As she heard the steps of her lover approaching her, her heart gave a painful twist.

"hey Ino-chan, or should I say miss-soon-to-be-Uzumaki, what was it that you wanted to talk about?, did your dad tell you when I could come to talk to him?" his deep and cheery voice echoed in the colorful field, and a lump in her trout form suddenly.

"Naru-koi… I.. I need to tell you something" her voice cracked at the end and she had to choke back a sob.

"What is it?" his worried cerulean eyes search her eyes, and he could see the pain and sorrow in them, giving his heart a painful squeeze. Something was wrong with his love, and by the looks of it, it wasn't something he'd wanted to hear.

"My… my dad… my dad informed today that I… that I was to marry Sasuke by the end of the month. I'm so sorry" she said as a tear escape her eyes, and she closed them tightly, she didn't want to see his heart broken face, how the light in those wonderful eyes became dull. She just wanted her heaven back. Her love back. But she couldn't. and she hated herself and her father for making her do this.

The blond male processed what his love had just said, and he felt numb.

He put an arm around his love and held on tight to her as if she was vanishing right before his eyes, and he could do nothing to stop it. She was leaving him. He knew it was too good to be true.

And Ino let herself bask in the embrace.

It would be her last moment in heaven.

Because once they broke apart she would be living in hell for the rest of her life.
