Merry Christmas Forehead

"Ino! Wake up!" The hell? Where was that annoying voice coming from? "Hey Ino come on! We have to go to the orphanage. We promised Naruto." Oh... that's right. Sakura.

"Mmmm shut it forehead." Ino mumbled as she rolled over so she was facing the other way, away from Sakura. "Screw you pig! I'm doing you a favor! Sooooo get... UP." The last word was emphasized by a hard pillow smack to the head.

Ino this time was forced up. "Ow! Damn forehead what was that for?!" She asked rubbing her head where the pillow smacked her. Sakura smirked. "Heh 'bout time you got up. Get ready! We're leaving soon." The pinkette said as she left the room.

Grumbling something about "Forehead... that really hurt." Ino swung her legs off of her bed and moved to her closest. After she got dressed in what she usually wore ( A long sleeve shirt, jeans, and sneakers) she moved to the mirror and began to style her hair into it's usual fashion.

After finally deciding she was satisfied with her appearance she quickly left her room and headed downstairs only to come face to face with Sakura. "Finally what took you so long. Whatever let's go."

Rolling her eyes Ino walked out of the door following Sakura.

The two were polar opposites. Ino being the popular girl who always had to be the center of attention, and Sakura the punk. Everything about her stood out from her hair to her clothing. If you didn't know the two personally you would've said they hated each other, judging from their behavior towards one another. Ask them and they'll just say that's how they've always acted. But they still loved each other like sisters.

"Ino... HEY INO!" Sakura's voice cut through her thoughts. "Huh?" Was her genius reply. "You alright? You look really worried." Her friend asked, worry clear in her eyes. "Yeah... I'm fine." She replied as her mind roamed off again. By the time they got to the orphanage Naruto was already there, playing with the kids. "Hey Ino-chan! Hey Sakura-chan!" The energetic blonde yelled from where he was with a kid jumping on his legs. "Hey Naru-kun." Ino waved as she was suddenly swamped by tons of little girls.

"Ino! Ino!" One girl yelled. "Where were you Ino?!" Another asked. She just smiled. "I had to go Christmas shopping for Sakura. But shhhhh it's a secret so don't tell her okay." She whispered ducking down. All the kids nodded fervently so they all looked like bobble heads.

Sakura on the other hand was currently preoccupied with a mixed group of boys and girls who wanted to play their new xbox with her. "Xbox? When did you..." she trailed off. "Naruto - kun brought it over earlier." A girl explained smiling. Sakura looked over to Naruto who had another kid on his lap, grinning.

'Naruto... you.' "What is it Sakura- Chan?" Naruto asked, because apparently she was speaking aloud. "Oh... nothing. Let's play!" She said as she flopped down in front of the tv.

Halfway through the game Ino tapped Sakura on the shoulder. "Hey Sakura I have to go somewhere. I'll be right back." Ino said. "Alright, but hurry back!" Sakura said as she was still focused on the game. "Gotcha!" Ino said as she left running.

Ten minutes later Ino burst into the jewelry shop where her present for Sakura waits. "Hi... I'm... here for... the.. present I ordered.." she said panting trying desperately to regain the air in her lungs.

The store clerk at the counter just looked at her as she was dry heaving. "Mmmhm name please?"

By now Ino had managed to breathe properly. "Ino Yamanaka."

After the clerk checked the computer she finally pulled out Ino's present. "Here you are Ms. Yamanaka. That'll be 133 Ryo".

After paying the clerk and taking the gift, Ino ran all the way back to the orphanage. "Ino there you are!" Sakura said as she waited outside. "Sorry im late but... here's your gift." Ino said as she looked away, and handed Sakura her gift.

"What is it?" The pinkette asked as she took the cover off of the box.

"Oh my gosh. Ino!" The suprised tone of Sakura's voice forced Ino to look at her best friend. What she saw made her immensely happy. Sakura was crying. Not sad tears but tears of joy. "Do you like it?"

Her question made Sakura laugh. "Like it? No." This almost broke Ino's heart. "I love it stupid!" And before she knew what was happening she was swept up into a crushing hug.

"Ahh... forehead...can't... breath!" Was all she managed to choke out. Sakura realized this and quickly let go. "Oops. Hehe. Merry Christmas Ino- pig."

"Merry Christmas Forehead."
