Kankuro, surprisingly, was really difficult to write.
Even with a good song, there was a lack of inspiration with this.
Still hope that you'll like it! (:
[Ino x Kankuro] – GFriend | Me Gustas Tu
The feelings started when the young man had accompanied his older sister every now and then to Konoha for business.
With Temari gone with Shikamaru, the latter had begged of his teammate to be a companion for Kankuro. She had accepted, albeit reluctantly, that first time because there was nothing for her to do.
The second time, he had seek out Ino herself, with the excuse that he wanted to do some sight-seeing in Konoha. They both knew it was a lie because it wasn't as if Kankuro hadn't been familiar with the village.
Many times afterwards, Ino had found herself drawn to the young man. Kankuro, in the meanwhile, was far too elated to be spending time with the beautiful shinobi.
At last, good times weren't meant to last.
"I won't be able to come back anytime soon." Kankuro muttered sadly. "It'll take 6 months at most."
The shinobi was to be needed back in Suna, and the pair found themselves at a crossroad.
"I see." She nodded her head in understanding. What could she possibly say at a time like this?
"Ino… I've never really told you how I felt.I-"
"Don't say it." Ino tried her hardest to smile. "It'll make things worse."
"But-"
"Come back in 6 months." She gave him a firm nod this time. "And then we'll see how it goes."
Kankuro took one long look at her, before walking towards Temari who had been waiting.
"I'll definitely be back, Ino."
