You and Me and the Weather

by toomanypickles

Unusual circumstances force Sakura and Gaara to live together. A drabble fic, about more random stuff that has no real point.

180. Tearful Reunion

The first time she saw Ino again, Ino asked the same question Tsunade had.

Sakura laughed. "Why does everyone think we can't have a relationship anymore once I've left the city? You know, there is such a thing as a long distance relationship."

Ino nodded and held a finger up to Sakura. "But you know how well those always work out."

Sakura punched Ino in the shoulder. "It's not like that. I just, for some stupid reason I no longer understand, missed you and wanted to come home for a bit. My mistake I guess."

Ino laughed and hugged Sakura. "I did miss you babe."

Sakura smiled and hugged her back. "I guess so – calling me babe, what's gotten into you Ino pig?"

"Without you around there are so many less shiny things in my life." Ino replied, looking pointedly at Sakura's forehead.

Sakura touched her forehead and whistled. "Oooh. Nice one. Subtle, but damaging."

Ino smiled. "Yes, I was quite happy when I thought of that one."
