Chapter 5: Unfortunate Things Happen
–
"Oh my goodness! We're finally here! I missed Okinawa so bad!" Ino shouted excitedly. "It's been forever since the last time I came here in Okinawa…"
"Ino," Sasuke called her. "Calm down."
"Okay," Ino started calming down. "But seriously though, I've missed Okinawa. It's been 8 years – 8 long years!"
Ino waited for this – the seniors' field trip. Since they would be graduating a few months, Tsunade planned this wonderful field trip for her students.
"Gather everyone!" Tsunade declared loudly. "I have an announcement to make! Hurry up!"
The students immediately gathered once they heard her, just because they were scared of Tsunade. Tsunade was not the typical head mistress; she was not kind and gentle. In fact, she was violent, impatient, and downright scary.
"Okay," Tsunade cleared her throat. "Before we head to the hotel, you'll need to pick a folded paper in this fishbowl," Tsunade raised a fishbowl with folded papers in it before continuing, "This will determine your room number in a fair way."
Everyone picked a folded paper excitedly. After picking, they opened the little paper and revealed their room number.
I want to share a room with Sasuke-kun! Sakura and Karin thought with dirty smirk.
"Hey Sasuke," Ino said. "What's your room number?"
"217," he retorted, with stoic face. "What did you get?"
"I got 232," Ino smiled. "I hope I don't get to share a room with anyone."
"Listen up," Tsunade called their attention once again. "The room 232 is the largest room of all. Meaning, if you have the number 232, you gotta' share with someone else. Who got the number 232?"
Ino awkwardly raised her hand as she frowned, and Temari did as well. Temari looked at her softly; she knew that Ino hated her so much because of what she did. She did not mind sharing a room with Ino since they were best friend and they used to sleep at each other's houses.
Oh shit, like are you serious? You must be joking! Ino thought angrily.
Crap, this is a disaster, Shikamaru supposed in his thoughts as he looked at the two blonde-haired women worriedly.
"So... I think that's it," Tsunade continued. "Since it's getting late, head to your room now. And of course, enjoy yourselves."
With that, everyone excitedly ran to his or her room – well, exception of Ino. Sasuke decided to ask Ino what she felt about this. Nonetheless, by just looking at her, he was certain that she did not like this, let alone hate.
"Ino," he approached Ino, he was concerned but he refused to show it. "…Do you feel fine?"
"Apparently not," was her reply. "Why her of all the people? Why does it have to be the person I despise the most?"
"You know," he stated, without any emotion. "Don't let your mood ruin this trip, as you said; you barely go to Okinawa… you better enjoy this."
"I am going to my room now," she said, still looking upset. "See ya later, Sasuke."
Ino opened her room. She was not surprised that Temari was there, sitting on the bed. She looked at Ino stiffly and looked away. She still felt guilty because of what she did to Ino. After Ino saw her with Shikamaru in her bed, Ino never talked to her ever again.
Ino dropped her bags on the floor and rolled her eyes at Temari. Swallowing her pride, Temari still tried to greet her.
"Hel-" Temari started but Ino stopped her with a glare.
"And you of course will sleep on the futon," Ino stated with the worst attitude she could ever have. "I don't care if the bed is king size or not – I still won't share a bed with a filthy whore."
Temari was the violent and brutal kind of person; actually, she was 3 years ahead of Ino but she kept on repeating because of her attitude. If this wasn't Ino, she probably had viciously slapped the person in front of her. But of course, Temari couldn't blame her, after all, she was aware to the pain Ino had gone through when she slept with Shikamaru.
"Of course," Temari replied as she nodded a little. Sabaku Temari never slept on a futon before because just like Ino, she was an heiress of their family's company. "I am aware of that."
"Or if you want, you can go ahead and go to Shikamaru's room," Ino gave her a nasty leer but even a dumb person could trace an anger to her tone. "So, you can whore him as long as you want. Contemptible whore."
"Ino, I understand that you despise me but…"
"Oh, Temari, I feel so relieved that you know that I intensely detest you… and save it, I don't want to hear bullshits from your mouth."
"Ino, you have to listen!" exclaimed Temari, Ino could tell that her words hurt her, however, Ino had no intention of taking back any word that she had said. "You don't know the truth!"
"Heck! Don't try to deceive me; you know that I'm better than that!" Ino shouted at her irately. But Ino decided not to cry, well at least for now. "You were naked, he was naked and both of you were in the same bed! Who are you trying to fool? I saw it with my very own eyes!"
"It was not what you had been thinking of, Ino!"
"So tell me, cheap whore, did you not have sex with him? You know what, I knew from the start that you liked Shikamaru but I never thought you would actually think of breaking us apart. By the way, congrats 'cause you succeed, I bet both of you are always sleeping with each other! Way to go."
Temari couldn't hold her anger any longer, she raised her hand and about to slap Ino, but she still couldn't. Her hand was stuck, a big part of her thought that it was her own fault why Ino was being like that and the guilt was still attacking her.
"Why don't you go ahead and try to slap me, you slut!" Ino dared with rebellious stare. "But I assure you that if one of your nasty hands ever touched me, you're a dead whore."
Ino could still sense the pain. This was not enough compared to everything she had done to her. Ino trusted her more than anyone else did, Ino loved her as if she was her real sister but how could she backstab her? Moreover, why did she do that to her? Ino couldn't remember anything that she did in the past that hurt Temari.
Ino turned around and about to go outside but she stopped on her tracks but did not look back.
"Oh before I forget, I just want to say," Ino paused. "Fuck you and Shikamaru, there's no way I can forgive and forget what the two of you did to me. Honestly, all I want right now is the two of you dead.!"
Ino opened the door and went outside. Temari clenched her fists tightly as the tears fell down continuously from her sea-green eyes.
I still can't confess to her what really happened because I'm afraid of being hated by her even more. Shikamaru is in love with Ino, not me. Always Ino. Shikamaru and I are just friends – he's never cheated on her. What happened between me and him were a complete misunderstanding.
–
Ino looked at the clock – it was almost 10pm. It had been only an hour since they arrived in Okinawa but she felt as if she wanted to go home or runaway. She felt horrible but she was not going to cry – just because she was tired of it. For goodness sake, she had been crying to sleep since she saw that incident.
Do I need to know something important? Ino thought.
She didn't feel good and she knew what could make her feel better: alcohol.
I wonder where's the bar at, Ino looked at the directory of the hotel. She was certain that they had at least a bar somewhere around here – this was a hotel after all.
"There you go," Ino found what she was looking for. "So it is on the ground floor."
And then she went off.
–
She was drunk, it was no doubt that she drank too much. The way she walked, her shadowy vision, and how red were her cheeks said it all. In front of her was the blurry number of 217. She didn't know why her feet brought her there . Also, she had no idea why she was knocking brutally on the door.
Who the hell is banging my door in one in the morning? Sasuke thought as he got up from the bed and opened the door.
"What do—Ino!" he was half-asleep when he opened the door but now, he was fully awake when he saw Ino at his door, badly drunk. "What the hell were you thinking? You're drunk!"
"No… Am not… drunk," Ino denied, threatening to gag because of the alcohol. "I… just bumped… with… Tsunade… sensei and… and we… we had… had… fun."
"Come on in," he said as he held her to prevent her from falling. He let her sat down on the bed and he sat beside her. "Why did you drink this mu-"
He was cut off when Ino's lips jammed to his deeply. It was a passionate kiss, and if Sasuke didn't know better he would have kissed her back. But he knew this was wrong, she was drunk and she didn't know what she was doing. Sasuke pulled out from the kiss.
"…W-Why?" asked Ino, feeling rejected. "D-Don't you l-like m-me?"
"Not that Ino," he looked her in her eyes. "You don't even know what you are doing!"
"Of c-course, I d-do," she kissed him once again. Sasuke wanted to pull out once again but he found himself kissing her back instead.
–
"Ow," Ino slowly opened her eyes and touched her head. "My head is killing me."
She looked at the clock to figure out what time it was. It was already 11, she had not expected to sleep too much. She looked at the surroundings and figured out something. This was not her room. She looked at herself and found herself unclothed.
"What the hell?" she whispered in a low voice. "Where the hell am I… who owns this room?"
To answer her question, Sasuke got out from the restroom. Ino could tell that he just took a shower because he was half-naked and his hair was muddled and wet.
"Sasuke," she realized what might happened. She looked at Sasuke with terror in her eyes. "N-Nothing happened last night, right?"
So she doesn't remember anything, does she? He looked at her with raised brow.
"You don't remember anything?" Sasuke asked with cold voice and looking infuriated. "Can't you tell that there something happened last night?"
"You mean we… um… did… it?" inquired Ino, feeling uneasy. "I mean, ya sure? No joke?"
"Ino, to answer that question… look at your body and figure it out by yourself."
Ino looked at her body and saw many… hickeys?
What the heck? She thought.
"Sasuke, you animal!" Ino threw a pillow at him but Sasuke luckily dodged. "Why did you put so much… er… kiss marks on me? Crap, this is disgusting!"
"Disgusting?" Sasuke stared at Ino with an irritated look. "You were the one initiated everything!"
"How did I get here anyway? Cause as far as I remember I don't share room with you!"
"Why don't you ask yourself, Ino? You were drunk and you went here one in a morning."
"Y-You took advantage of me? How dare you, you jerk!"
"When I rejected the first kiss, you looked like you were about to cry and you kissed me again-"
"—And you couldn't hold your hormones any longer that's why you kissed back and didn't stop, am I right Sasuke?"
"…Whatever, Ino."
"Sasuke, listen up, forget everything that happened last night. Nothing happened between us, got it?
"You do not have to tell me."
"Now get out cause as you see, I am still naked."
"Why bother?" he smirked. "I already saw everything, Ino. Everything."
"Just get the hell out," she heatedly said as she blushed. "You ass!"
He smirked once again and got out. What the heck? She sighed and regretted the fact that she gave away her virginity to Sasuke – her friend and… nothing else.
Argh, I can't believe something inappropriate happened between us, everything happens way too fast… Oh crap, this is not funny at all! She thought as she put her clothes on.
