Soo, Here I am, continuing this story, I can't believe, it's been what? Over seven months since I updated this.
Well Anyway, here is the next chapter to the story!
Last time:
" My name's Ino, Yamanaka Ino!"
I-i'm S-s-s-sakura H-haruno."
..
"Hey!! Take it off! Everybody will laugh."
"Don't worry if they do, I'LL BEAT THEM TO A PULP!! Oh and you can keep the ribbon be sure to wear it everyday, I'll be checking!" We both smiled and Sakura nodded at me.
I stood up and told her to come with me.
"I wanna show you something really special to me.!" I pulled her and ran to the direction of the field.
..
"INO-CHAN!!! IT'S NII-SAN!!!! HE KILLED THE WHOLE CLAN EXCEPT FOR ME... WHYY??! WHY DID HE DO IT.!!!!??!"
"It's okay Sasuke, it's okay..." Ino tried calming him down but instead started crying with that Sasuke guy.
Chapter 3: Rivals
Ino was now eight years old, a year has passed since Itachi killed the whole Uchiha Clan, except for Sasuke.
Sasuke had become cold and emotionless, he started ignoring Ino a few weeks after the incident. He didn't want to feel anything anymore, he was afraid, afraid that everyone he cares about would leave him, leave him by himself, and leave him to suffer.
Though Sasuke acted differently, Ino didn't, she was still friendly towards him, like nothinng bad has ever happened, and that was what ticked Sasuke off, he started treating her like she was worthless, and sometimes, that she didn't exist.
Sakura has also changed, not much people pick on her anymore, she took Ino's advice and kept the red ribbon, keeping her bangs out of her face. Now thanks to Ino, she was confident, she didn't care what people thought about her, all she cared about was being strong, strong enough to be able to protect her loved ones. She had also started training to be a kunoichi the week after she had met Ino, she brought Ino home with her, and together they convinced Sakura's mom to entroll her in the academy, and Sakura's mom gladly complied.
Ino is now in the field, staring at the sky with amazement, but with also sadness in her eyes, her friend Sakura had fallen in love with Sasuke half a year ago, and the problem is, Ino thinks that she's in love with him too.
She then felt someone lie down next to her, so she turned her head to the direction of the person, it was Sakura, Ino didn't know what to do, she was planing to tell Sakura about er crush as soon as she saw her, but right now, to Ino, it didn't feel like a good idea.
But she decided to tell her anyway.
"Sakura-chan... I have something to say..." Ino sat up and kneeled on her knees looking at Sakura with a serious face.
"What is it Ino-chan? What's wrong?"
"Sakura, I have a crush, before I tell you who it is, I want you to promise me not to get angry." Sakura nodded.
"I- I have a crush on Sasuke." Ino looked at the ground beneath her, she was afraid that Sakura wouldn't want to be friends with her anymore.
"I-it's okay Ino, I understand." With that, Sakura stood up and ran back home.
***Ino*s***P*O*V****
I watched Sakura run back to her home, I know that she wouldn't be my friend anymore, but before she comes back to tell me that, I'll leave.
So now I am in the park, sitting on a bench, crying my eyes out. I mean, what was I supposed to do, My best friend left me. Now I don't have any.
"Ino?"
I look up, it wasn't Sakura, but it was another person I didn't want to see right now, it was Sasuke.
"S-Sasuke-kun, what are you doing here?" I tried not to cry anymore as I wiped the tears from my eyes.
"I.. nevermind."
"Sasuke-kun, I want to tell you something, so when I say it please don't hate me," I coughed back a tear, "I think, I'm in love with you."
Sasuke's eyes widened, "Ino... I'm sorry but it will never," As soon as Sasuke said that word, I burst into tears, "ever like or love you."
Sasuke looked sad, but just left me here, alone.
Then another person came up to me, "Why was Sasuke-kun talking to you?" The person growled, it was oviously Sakura.
"I-I.." The words were in my head, but I just couldn't speak, my mouth was opening to continue, but there was no audio.
"Anyway, I thought about what you said, about liking Sasuke, and I've decided, I'm sorry, but from on we are rivals, in power and in love!"
There you have it! The 3rd chappie of 'Their Time'
