It was a beautiful bright and sunny day in Konoha. The streets were busy, mothers were buying toys for their children, fathers were training their sons. Konoha was bustling with ninjas running all over the place, but hey, thats what happens when you got missions and trying to find the Hokage's sake.
Today was indeed a beautiful day. ....... Or so it seems.
In the busy street of Konoha, a young kunoichi with platnum blonde hair and an outfit of purple, walked down the streets of Konoha.
Her name. Yamanaka Ino.
She walked down the streets at a rather slow pace, her eyes looked lifeless, red and puffy. Seems she had cried..... But why?
She arrived at her home. No one was inside for she lived on her own, her father died at mission and her mother ran off with another man and lived in a small town close to the Mist country when she was only eight. Ino now sixteen, her mother left exactly eight years ago.
Ino walked up the stairs to her room still looking at the ground, refusing to look up. She sat on her bed silently.
"...I'm not...useless.... Am I?" She asked herself.
...............ShikaIno....................................ShikaIno......................
The old team ten stood infront of the Hokage, Tsunade. They had returned from a mission of killing a rogue nin, and they had succeded. Chouji looked uneasy, and Shikamaru looked pissed, and Ino knew why. She had gotten in the way when Shikamaru was about kill him. But he ran off getting away, and they had to catch him again. Shikamaru wasn't to happy about it and been mad the whole way back to konoha. And now they stood infront of Tsunade, Shikamaru had been explaining what happened, but skipped the part where Ino was in the way.
"I see. Well then very good." Tsunade said. "You have the rest of the day off. And Shikamaru."
"Hai Tsunade-sama?"
"Sabaku no Temari of Suna is staying here for a week. Your job is to escort her around."
"Hai." There was a spark in his eyes and Ino saw it.
The three left her office. Chouji ran off knowing if he stayed he would be apart of it. Ino walked slowly, she was a few feet behind Shikamaru. Suppose she should apologize to him. She sped up to catch up to him.
"Shikamaru?"
"What?" He asked, trying hard to not snap at her.
"Im sorry...for being in the way..." She said silently. And thats all it took for him to snap.
"Thats it."
"What?"
"Im done with you!"
"What do you-"
"I want you out of my life!"
"B-But Shi-Shikamaru! What did I do?! What is it that you want me away!? I-I thouht we were friends! Tell me what I did wrong! Shika-"
"Shut up Ino! Just shut up!" He said harshly.
Ino was shocked to here that, it hurt her.
"Shikamaru... Please tell me what I did!" Her voice grew louder and higher as she spoke. "Just tell me wh-"
"You annoying little brat!" He shouted. "Leave me alone!" He wasn't finished. "Your weak and useless and I'm sick and tired of protecting you Ino! We always protect you and you just get in the way! I'm tired of you bringing me down! So do me a favor and stay. Out. Of. My. Life!" he made it clear to her and walked away.
Ino, who had been holding back her tears, finally spilled out of her eyes. She ran. She ran as fast as she could. She didn't care where she was going, she just ran.
...........ShikaIno.........................ShikaIno..........
Ino had once again cried.
She cried her poor heart out. Just remembering that had brought back the pain.
The way he looked at her coldly and the way he spoke to her so harshly. It had hurt her dearly.
The way his eyes sparked when Temari was staying for a week. Ino hated to admit it but.....she was inlove with Shikamaru. She only found out a few months ago. Just thinking that Shikamaru might like Temari made her heart ache.
And once again she cried, cried her heart out to sleep.
When Ino woke up, the sun was shining brightly on her face. Today was rather warm.
Ino got up and headed to the shower. She discarded her clothes and went in the hot shower. The hot water felt good on her skin. She stayed in the shower awhile longer after she washed her hair and body. She turned off the shower, grabbing a towel, she walked out of her bathroom.
Ino grabbed some clean panties, yellow shirt, and dark blue jeans. Since she didn't have any missions today, she decided to wear whatever.
After tying her yellow converse, she went down stairs to make herself breakfast and open the flower shop.
Once she finished her breakfast, she grabbed the keys to the shop and walked out the door.
Today she is starting a new day. If Shikamaru wants her out of his life then so be it. Nothing will hold her back this time. Not even that Nara boy.
Today, Ino is someone new.
Done! What do think? You like?
