Apologising

Ino, and Konohamaru were seated inside the Yamanaka flower shop. Konohamaru had been innocently passing by when Ino pulled him inside. 'But why do I have to work?' Konohamaru had asked. Ino had smiled evilly, and said: 'I thought this would be a nice way for you to apologise for using me in your jutsu. Would you rather I flay you with the pruning shears?'
Konohamaru picked up a rose, and fitted it into the arrangement. Ino smiled. "See, isn't this fun?" she asked sweetly.
Konohamaru grumbled a "yeah," and selected another flower for the arrangement. Seriously, he thought; how any person could do this permanently was beyond him. How boring.
Ino coughed slightly as she picked up a sprig of little white flowers-- he couldn't remember the name she had called them. "So..." Ino began. "Sakura said your, uh, jutsu is not exclusive to girls," she said conversationally.
"Huh?" Konoahamru asked, frowning slightly. The stupid flowers had to be all prickly, and stab his finger.
"She, uh, said that you can imitate Sasuke, and Sai," Ino continued.
Konohamaru shrugged. "Oh, yeah."
Ino added more white flowers. "You should show me sometime," she said casually.
Konohamaru raised an eyebrow at her. "Did you really just ask me to do my double knockout: guys?" he asked.
Ino shrugged. "Yeah."
"Okay."
