Chapter 10

Ino watched the rain hit the class room's window. It was Monday, the day Ino least love cause it always rain on Monday. She doesn't know why but it does. She sighed, she prefers to stay at home and watch "Rugrats" on TV all day. She sighed again and looked in front and saw Arthur McArthur's name on the black board.

"History… can this day get any worse?" she thought and sighed again "Why can't time go any faster?" she stared at the clock that seem to stop whenever she spared it some glances. She gave up and slumped back on her chair.

"Very unlucky day indeed…"

On the room across Ino's was Music class where Tenten and Hinata were. Tenten just finished writing a song and gave it to Hinata, her music partner who took it then scanned the paper. She smiled at Tenten and gave her the paper back.

"It's a n-nice song…"
"Thank you"
"Shall we practice it now?"
"No… no need for that, I'm sure you ca do it well Hina-chan" the brunette smiled at hinata, who blushed from her comment
"T-thank you…"

"Hina-chan…" Hinata looked at the girl next to her but stayed quiet
"Is Sakura your friend?"

"I just want to know if you didn't meant to hurt her"

"S-she's m-my friend… I d-didn't know how s-she felt about m-me" the blue haired girl frowned
"I-I mean, she's a-a girl too"

"I know what you mean! We kept saying that to her, but she just won't listen!"

"H-Haruno-san is very n-nice, but I only s-see her as a friend"

"I know she'll soon figure that one out" Tenten smiled
"She just needs time"

"I hope she c-can forgive me…"

"Of course she will!" Tenten gave the shy girl a wicked smile "This is Saku-chan were talking about! She can't possible stay mad at you forever? Maybe a year or so? But she'll eventually talk to you"

"I really h-hope so"

"Just try to understand her Hina-chan"
"O-okey…" Hinata said with a tiny smile playing on her lips

When lunch came, everybody was there self again. Naruto being the loud blonde and Ino being… well… another loud bonde. And they were arguing about food.

"You can't just eat Ramen everyday!"

"And why not!?"

"Beacause! You need other food to live! You'll die if all you it is stinkin Ramen!"

"That's not true PIG! I'm still alive!"

"It is soo true STUPID! And I'm not a Pig!"

"Who are you calling stupid!? Stupid pig!"

"Why you!" Ino growled at Naruto and stood up from her chair wanting to strangle the other blonde "Stupid!"

"Pig!"

"Stupid!"

"Pig!"

"Stupid!"

"Pi-
"Will you two shut up already!?" Kiba shouted at the two and miraculously stopped their ruckus
"You're giving me a hell of a headache!"

"Fine!"
"Fine!" they both said and went back to their seats. Tenten laughed at the two then looked at Shikamaru who seemed quiet (A/N: like he talks?")

"Hey Shika"
"Hn?"
"What are you planning tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow? What's the occasion?"
"You don't remember?" he said not having any clue on what tomorrow is. Well tomorrow is not only his and Ino's anniversary but their 3rd anniversary.
"Remember what?"
"It's your anniversary with Ino"

"It is?" he said not really caring about what tomorrow is for him
"I don't really have time for stupid things" he said and leaned on his chair "It's too troublesome"

Ino, who was just beside Shikamaru wanted to let the water works out of her system. She was hurt, I mean who wouldn't? that was really a stupid thing for him to say especially knowing Ino's beside him. But Ino didn't cried, she knew better than to show her weak side to everybody.

"His right, who needs to celebrate that stupid thing anyway? The important thing is… we both love each other"

After school, Ino and Shikamaru met up at the school gates like what they do everyday. Shikamaru said it's his job to wait for her after school and to take her to school everyday. He didn't want it but because he is Ino's boyfriend he has to.

"Can we go now?" he said in a bored tone

"Umm, Shika… I was thinking if we could go to the mall today?"

"Mall?"

"Umm, yeah… I just want to buy you something" She smiled at him

"Can't you go there tomorrow?"
"C-can't we go there today?"

"I have more important things to do Ino…"

"Important things?"

"Homework, projects, cho-
"So you mean I'm not important? Is that it?"

"That's not what I mean"

"Then what am I Shikamaru? Past time?" she said mockingly

"This will take us nowhere"

"Our relationship is beyond nowhere... what's there to lose?"

"Ino will you just drop it"
"No"

"Then SHUP UP!" he shouted which made Ino back off a bit. She stared at him, face full of shock. Shikamaru had never shouted at her before… Never.

"Let's just go" He said and started walking not caring if she was following him or not, But maybe he felt that she wasn't moving that he turned his back and looked at her "Are you coming or not? I don't have all da-

"Shikamaru…" She said quietly head bowed, tears falling on the ground
"Do you really love me?"

He stayed quiet not wanting to answer her question

"Or better yet… did you "even" loved me?" she raised her head and looked at the boy eyes full of tears

"Ino-
"Please… I want to know" she begged him

"What do you think?" she gave a small laugh, a small pathetic laugh

"My brain wants to think you do… but my heart beats for a big no, my heart doesn't know if you even tried to make me a part of your life" she still smiled even as tears falls from her sapphire eyes. She walked closer to him and touched his face.

"I can touch you…" she said and caress his face, remembering everything and putting it inside her mind
"I can see you…" she stared at his eyes, searching for something she can hold on too, something that she can't find even if she stared at them all day
"I can hear you…" she waited for him to say anything but heard none, only the breeze that wrapped itself on her body was all she can hear

"But I can't feel you… I can't, and I never did"

"Ino…"

"Shikamaru, you don't know how much I wanted to feel you" more tears run down her face
"Even when you're just right beside me, you seemed like thousands miles away from me" her hands retreated back on her side

"Shikamaru, I love you more than you could ever think of… I know you feel it"

"But even when you say you love me back… I never seemed to feel it, you may say it… but you never shown it to me, ever" she said taking back steps away from him "How could I possibly think you love me?"

"Ino-
"It's not up to me anymore…"

"Ino no…"
"If you want me in your life… you'll find a way to put me there" she said and started walking the other way

"A-are you breaking up with me"
"What do you think?" those were the last words she spoke of. Then she continued walking without turning her back, or sparing him a glance. She heard him shout her name but she didn't turn ways, even when she wanted to turn back and fall on his arms she restrained her self from doing so. Because she knew once she did… she'll have to keep on pretending that her life is a fairytale.

"All I ever wanted was for you to care… but you just don't"
