Devil me: Now on with the show (Narrowly avoids getting hit with a pencil ME threw)

Me: YEAH! (Flinging office junk Pencils, notebooks, I-pod, among other things)

Ino sorted the roses. She put the last red rose in the bucket. Then she arranged them to make them look pretty. She started with the yellow ones. As soon as she picked up the first one, she looked out the window. She saw some girls staring back at her with the same feeling as the rose between her fingers,

Jealousy. (A/N: In the Japanese culture a yellow rose represents jealousy, being jealous, or hatred.) Ino finished up with the rose display and started to water the plants. She turned when Sasuke ran into the flower shop, shut the door, and dived behind a rack of potted plants. A group of fan girls ran past the flower shop window.

He stood when he thought it was safe. "Try hiding somewhere they wouldn't look," Ino said, continuing to water a potted plant. "Like here?" "Yeah but they come here often to get you gifts, your going to have to find a new one," she said over her shoulder. "Yeah, I know, but it's like…" he started. "They knocked you unconscious and planted a tracking device in your left ass-check," Ino finished his sentence. He was directly behind her, "Really?" how close he was made her drop the watering can.

She cleaned it up quickly and turned to face him. He was a bit taller than her and she had to look up a little. "Uhh, I think that's what they did," she said. He smirked and left. The minute he was down the street, Sakura came bursting in.

"What the HELL do you think your doing training with MY Sasuke?" She said glaring at her. "Well, it was only training, not like a date or anything," Ino replied. "Stay away from him, or else!" Ino smirked, "Or what? What's a weak, love obsessed kunochi like you going to do?" Sakura opened her mouth but closed it again when Ino checked her watch, pushed her out the door and said, "Shop's closed!"

Ino left the shop after switching the sign over. She went home, changed and went to her training spot, only to see Sasuke waiting for her. "Wanna spar again?"

Three hours latter…

Ino rested flat on her back. She was wiped. "What's the matter? Normally you're trying to kick my ass or something," Sasuke said with a smirk. "It's nothing, I-I just didn't get enough sleep last night," she answered, sitting up and yawning.

"OH," he said, spacing out. He turned to see her asleep against a willow tree. They were a lot farther in the forest because Ino had insisted on backing further and further into the forest while they were fighting. He sighed. Soon he was jumping towards the village with her on his back, how he figured it; they were a good half hour away from the village. Her wrists were tied together around his neck and his hands were holding her thighs up so she wouldn't fall back and choke him.

It felt like she was glompping him. She smelled good; like flowers. The one he thought she smelled like the most was the lotus. It was a light, sweet smell. He had to focus on jumping from one tree branch to another.

As soon as they got back to their normal training grounds, he lightly shook her awake. She didn't open her eyes. He dug in his pack and dripped a small amount of water from his water bottle onto her check. Her eyes shot open. She stood up and wiped her cheek. Then Ino stood on tip toe and stretched lazily. "We're back on the training ground?" she stated but it sounded more like a question. "Yeah," Sasuke said, untying her hands.

She picked up her bag, "Well, see you tomorrow!" she waved goodbye and turned quickly to hide her burning cheeks. Lucky for him, she didn't see his face. He figured out why she wasn't on his team. They were both very excellent ninjas, her skill rivaled his own, and that's exactly why they weren't. The teams were divided with a top ninja, a medium ninja, and a low ninja. If he were on her team it would mess up the entire genin system.

Ino walked back to her house, ate dinner, and fell into bed. Ruff day and she had no idea what happened while she was out cold. 'Ah, no! Sasuke's not a perv… or at least, I hope he's not…" Ino thought as she snuggled under the comforter.

The next morning Ino got up and took a shower. But in the middle of the burning hot shower, she turned the knobs to where only icy cold water poured over her. She got out and walked directly out of the bathroom, butt naked, to her room; that was right next to the bathroom. She pulled on her clothes; black shorts and a white tank top over a mush long sleeved shirt. It was her day off. She looked at the contents of the open drawer in front of her. She barley wore skirts anymore.

She noticed as she tied her hair up that she was getting a little darker. She couldn't believe that she was once pale. She pulled on a pair of fingerless gloves that were black.

She left after eating a brief breakfast; a cup of milk and a banana. She reached the training grounds to see Sasuke meditating. She snuck up behind him and grabbed his shoulders. He jumped when she did so. "Hey, I have an idea, fallow me." She led him to a rather large cliff. As he looked up at it, he knew what she wanted to do. They started off next to each other. She easily found holes to stick her hands and feet in. Sasuke relied on small ledges. It only got harder as they went up; He was a little ahead of her. When they reached the top they sat with their feet dangling. They drank water. Then they went back down. Ino pulled two weight harnesses out of her pack. They put them on and loaded on the weights. Ino had 100 pounds; Sasuke decided to push it with 120.

The climb up was much longer than normal; and harder. Ino reached the top first but just barley and when she did, she could barely move anymore. Sasuke lay down with his feet dangling. "Let's…go…spar," Ino said in between heavy breaths. "Okay, but as long as we can ditch these weights," Sasuke said taking off his harness. Ino took off hers too then she dropped it down where her bag was.

The climb down was easy since they lost the weights. Then they started sparring. Sasuke was more tired than her because of how much strain he put on his body before. It all ended with Sasuke flat on his back with Ino sitting on his chest and stomach. "You shouldn't push yourself that hard, if it makes you weaker later on. That could be fatal on the battle field," she said shifting so that she wasn't looking at him through her legs. He thought about what she said and said the first thing that came to mind.

"Hey, Ino?"

"Yeah?"

"Would you please get off me, your hurting me," he said looking up at the blonde girl who immediately got off and sat next to him. After about twenty minutes, Ino jumped up suddenly. Sasuke was amazed because she barely had any more strength than he did at that point. She stretched again. It was very close to two in the afternoon. "I'm going to go and start working at the flower shop." She walked off slowly; still in pain.

Within a few minutes she was back in the flower shop tying on the yellow apron. She began watering more plants. A few women came in and bought flowers. She looked out the corner of her eye when the bell rang for the forth time that hour. She saw a certain white eyed girl.

"Hello, Hinata-Chan," Ino said smiling. "U-um, I came to get that order of flowers that I-I asked for," the shy girl said, fidgeting.

"Of course," Ino said pulling a long rectangle box out from under the counter. She opened it and said, "One second," as she went around gathering flowers. She placed twelve roses, six red and six white, and three white carnations in the box. Then she closed it and tied a ribbon around the box.

"Here you go," she handed the box to Hinata, who paid and left. Ino closed the shop after an hour of doing nothing but watering plants. When she got home she looked in the mirror. Her hair was the same length as Sakura's, which was still pretty long. She started cutting her hair again.

Sasuke likes girls with long hair. If I cut it maybe he won't think I'm a fan girl and take me more seriously. Now her hair only reached her chin. She tied it up like a ponytail. Her hands shook a bit as they picked up the short, discarded locks that were on the floor. She boiled some water and made ramen. When it was done she put it in a black bowl and got a pair of chopsticks out of the drawer.

Ino read out of an earth scroll in between putting noodles in her mouth. When she was little and thought she wasn't getting stronger, her mother told her that she wasn't weak, she just hadn't found her strength. She couldn't master wind or lightning, her water skills were okay, and she just started earth; she hadn't even tried fire yet.

She finished, cleaned out the bowl, and headed out with her scroll. She had had enough time to regain her strength so she went to try a new jutsu. Ino ran all the way to the training grounds. She started to focus her chakra to her fists, and then she preformed some hand seals, saying them in her mind as she did to focus better: Boar, horse, tiger, serpent, boar, ox.

She slammed her hand into the ground after saying, "Earth element; Earth dragon!" she watched as mud formed into a dragon. The dragon melted back into the ground without a sound. She then tried another jutsu. "Earth Element: Earthquake Fist!" the chakra that spread from the hand she place on the ground was enough to make cracks appear on the ground and shake furiously.

Sasuke, who was asleep in the tall grass about ten feet away, woke up. He jumped up and fell back because of the shaking of the ground. Ino was crouching in front of him. She lifted her hand from the ground.

"Guess I'm good at earth related jutsus," she said out loud. She froze when he said, "Guess so." She turned around. "Have you tried fire?" he asked shoving his hands in his pockets. "No," she answered, standing. "I'll show you one," he said turning away from the field. Ino fallowed him.

He led her to a lake. Her preformed a series of hand seals and said, "Fire release; Great fireball technique!" A huge blast of fire exited his mouth, leaving Ino stunned. Sasuke turned and preformed the hand signs more slowly so she could see. Ino tried. She managed a small flame blast.

Me: there are you happy now?

Devil/Neutral me: YES!

Devil me: you're making him teach her that Jutsu?

Me: yes, what's the big deal?

Neutral me: that jutsu represents adult hood in the Uchiha clan!
