[Thursday]
"ungh. Why can't girls get out of the comfort room for less than 5 minutes?" Sasuke complained
"it's because we need to look good!" she said with a wink, Sasuke rolled his eyes
"whatever" he muttered
"so, what is it that you want?" Ino asked while fixing her hair
"I told you awhile ago before you went to that damned comfort room; I need you to help me look good tomorrow"
"tomorrow?" Ino asked confused
"yeah tomorrow, me, date, Karin?"
"oh yes, I almost forgot" she chuckled then playfully punched him
"you got to stop doing that, it's annoying" he said in a serious tone
"I'm annoying?" Ino stopped walking
"No, I was just kidding" Sasuke laughed nervously, but seriously she needs to stop it he thought to himself
"riiiiiight" she said looking serious
"Itachi's going to pick us up, is it okay if you stay out tonight?" he asked her
"Sure, no problem I'll tell dad I'll be going to your house today"
As they walked out of the school, Itachi was already there to meet them.
"it's been a long time Ino" he greeted her while walking up to them
"it sure is, Itachi-kun"
"So how have you been Ino? And please, stop the honorifics it's too formal" he told her
"still good, I'm doing fine how about you?" she blushed
(Ino had a crush on Itachi before and up until now she till admires the older Uchiha, of course Sasuke was perfectly aware of the whole story)
"same same" he smiled
"can we just go now?" Sasuke interrupted
"sheesh. Sour puss" Ino whispered to Sasuke, she wanted to talk to Itachi more and look at him and those dreamy ebony eyes of his
[IN THE CAR]
"Hey Ino, are you going out with anyone?" Itachi asked
"Nope, why?" she answered
"Nothing, I was just wondering-"
"-Stop the car, now!" Sasuke interrupted them
"huh? What? Why?" Itachi asked confused
"I'm hungry" he answered flatly
"I'm hungry??" Ino growled
"yes, is there a problem?" he shot her back
"Sasuke, you could've just waited until we arrive home. Mom made some food"
"hn" was all Sasuke could answer
Then after that, only the music that played on the radio was heard. Nobody talked until they arrived the Uchiha estate
"what was that all about? Hungry?" Ino asked Sasuke irritated
"yes, I was hungry" he said as if taunting her
"you could've waited like Itachi said"
"no, I couldn't. when I'm hungry, I am" he told her with authority
"Sasuke, you're such a brat. And you're the guy" Ino lectured him
And before Sasuke could answer Itachi was calling them to get inside…
"it's not yet over, Uchiha" Ino warned Sasuke.
"Okay, whatever you say, let's go" Sasuke smirked to himself leaving Ino irritated who followed him inside.
[Inside the Estate]
"what took you so long?" Itachi questioned them
"nothing. Ino was just telling me how good you look" Sasuke said out loud that made Ino blush
"I-I so d-did not!" Ino defensively said
"It's okay Ino, thank you, you're even better" he praised her. Sasuke rolled his eyes and Ino just blushed harder. "T-thanks!" she stuttered looking on the ground so as not to show her tomato-colored face
"Mom, were here" Itachi called out
"I'm in the kitchen dear, mind giving me a hand?" their mom answered
"yeah sure, coming" Itachi went to the kitchen while Sasuke and Ino followed him
"Itachi can you please feed niko-chan?" their mom asked, without saying a word Itachi went into the backyard to feed the cat
"Mom" Sasuke called out
"Oh honey, you're here and Ino it's been a long time since you've been here"
"Good afternoon Mrs. Uchiha" Ino bowed
"oh yes, Good afternoon to you too. Please have a sit, I baked brownies. I know you like them help yourselves" handing them a plate full of freshly baked brownies
"Mom, could we just take them in my room? We need to do something" Sasuke asked Mikoto just waved her hand that signaled her approval
[Inside Sasuke's room]
As the door shot close
"hey Sasuke! We aren't finish yet. What's up with you?" Ino demanded an answer
"I said I was hungry, what part of hungry don't you understand?" he said irritated
"so now you're mad or irritated at me?" Ino glared at him
"hn" Sasuke snorted
"tch. Always being a brat" Ino sat on his bed and stared at his room. It changed a lot from what it was before. The bed, the cabinets and the drawers, the bedside lamp, the wallpaper, everything changed except for one thing, its scent. It was still Sasuke.
"I was really hungry and besides I'm sorry if I upset you or anything" he was able to mutter because he couldn't stand the silence between them and the cold shoulder Ino gave him.
"That's okay, I'm fine now. Your room changed a lot" she told him
"is it that obvious?" he smirked
"duh" she bluntly answered him then walked up to his closet to check out his clothes
"so what? Are you going to help me or not?" he asked her bored
"of course, this will be great!" she smiled then looked at him cheerfully
After trying on 10 different outfits and 3 hours..
"is this your way to get your revenge, coz it's working! I'm beat" Sasuke complained
"quit your whining that looks great on you, you should wear that" Ino impressed with her skills
"if we were in the mall I would've collapsed right now" as he laid on the bed his head beside Ino's thighs. At this angle, Ino saw how Sasuke's face was chiseled perfectly, his toned body complimented what he was wearing and the peacefulness his face glowed while his eyes were closed.
"you better change to your normal clothes if you would like to wear that tomorrow" she warned him after she had enough looking at him but Sasuke didn't answer her even after she tapped her gently.
Must've fallen asleep, sweet revenge! She thought to herself.
"I guess I'll be going now, goodnight Sasuke-kun" she whispered as she left his bedroom.
As Ino went out of Sasuke's room, Itachi was just in the hallway
"Ino!" he called out to her
"Oh! Itachi, I was just leaving" she was startled
"you are?" he asked her to make sure
"uh yes, why?"
"nothing in particular, can I walk you home?" Itachi smiled at her.
"uhm sure if you have nothing to do" she blushed at thought Itachi wanted to walk with her that she could talk to him in private, just the two of them ALONE.
"I don't have anything to do, let's go?"
"sure" she smiled at him
"I'll be leaving now Mrs. Uchiha, thank you and goodnight" she greeted her bowing
"won't you stay for dinner Ino?" she looked at her as if telling her to stay for awhile
"Mom, they still have classes tomorrow, I'll walk her home" Itachi interrupted
"oh yes! Yes! I almost forgot, see you soon Ino. Please feel free to visit again"
"thank you Mrs. Uchiha" she smiled sweetly at Mikoto
"just call me auntie, it's less formal. You're not a stranger to us" Mikoto assured her
"thank you auntie" she repeated
"see? It wasn't so bad wasn't it?" she smiled, Ino was just amazed.
"we're going now"
