It was dark out except for one sliver of light in front of her. There was a shadow of a person. His hand extended forward into the light; it was pale white and gentle. The shadow stepped forward. His black hair touched his eyes. A sweet smile spread across his face.
"Sai?" Ino whispered.
"Of course," he smiled, ". . .I believe this is yours." he placed a red, thornless rose in her hands.
A puzzled look crossed her face. She looked down and just faintly recognized the long purple dress on her from the picture. Ino smiled.
A shrill bell rang from above and the next thing Ino knew she was sitting up in bed, listening to her alarm clock screaming.
"It was just a dream? . . .crap." Ino said before she got out of bed and got ready for the day.
After getting dressed, she walked over to her desk for her hairbrush to see a picture of her and Kiba.
"Oh boy," she whispered then put the picture in her drawer.
"You did not break up with him for Sai. You did not, you did not, you did not! C'mon Ino, you didn't do anything wrong! Stop being guilty!" She fell down to the floor and sat hugging her knees. She finally gave up and walked over to the lilac phone.
"Hello?" Said the voice on the other end.
"Sakura? We have an emergency. It's code red!"
"I'll be right over."
After telling Sakura the whole story, she listened to the pinkette's advice.
"So let me get this straight. You like Sai, so you broke up with Kiba for Sai just because he drew a picture that looked like you?"
"Yes."
"And now you're guilty because. . . ?"
"Because I made it seem like Kiba did something wrong and that's why i broke up with him."
"Well why the hell did you do that!"
"I panicked! I-I needed more time!"
"To do what?"
"To panic!"
They both sunk down onto the bed.
"So . . . what are you going to do?" Sakura finally asked. Ino just shrugged. Looking up from her hands, Ino noticed Sakura staring wide-eyed out the window. Turning, Ino saw Hinata standing outside the window with her mouth wide open. When she met Ino's eyes, she composed herself and then ran full-speed to Kiba's house
