-1Break Ups Make Ups

'Why would he do this to me? After everything we have been through…' Ino thought as she walked trying to stop the tears from flowing.

Ino pulled out her phone and began texting Temari telling her what she just saw. Just as she was about to hit send she ran into the one person she wasn't expecting to see.

"Ino?" A voice said.

Ino looked up to see Neji standing in front of her.

"Neji…what do you want?" Ino replied not in the mood for his bullshit.

"You just looked troubled. Is everything ok?" Neji asked with concern in his voice.

"Things are fine with me. What about you?"

"Well…things haven't been that well for me…"

Ino started to be concerned for the Hyuuga branch child.

"Is it okay that I walk with you?" Neji asked.

"Sure." Ino continued walking to her house.

"So how are you and Chouji doing?"

Ino felt a sharp pain in her heart not wanting to talk about what she just saw.

"We're just fine." Ino lied.

"How are you and Tenten?"

Neji swallowed the lump in his throat.

"We…are not together anymore…" Neji managed to say.

"What happened?"

"She said she didn't want to be with me anymore…I wasn't the right man for her…and I thought she was the one for me…" Ino looked to see Neji wiping his eyes.

This really hurt him.

'He seems so sad…' Ino thought as they continued to walk.

"Neji I'm so sorry…" Ino didn't know what to say to the broken man.

"No Ino I should be saying I'm sorry to you." Neji stopped and turned to Ino.

He grabbed her hand and looked deep into her blue eyes.

"I should have never left you…I was wrong about everything…Chouji is a lucky man to have you…"

Ino was at a loss for words. Why was he telling her all this now?

"Neji…"

"I know you probably don't believe what I'm saying but every word of it is true…I wish I could be with you again…and this time I would do better…"

They continued to walk until Ino finally reached her destination.

"Well I'm gonna go in now…I have to get ready for school tomorrow…" Ino said

"Thank you for walking with me Ino…I just needed someone to listen…I'm glad it was you." Neji replied.

"No problem Neji…anytime."

As Ino was opening her door, Neji turned back around quickly.

"Oh and Ino."

Ino looked up at him.

"I really mean it when I say that your special."

Ino blushed and quickly went inside. When she got behind the closed door she began to sob. Her mind was going in circles. Here's Chouji messing around with Tenten and now Neji is trying to reconnect the bond that they once had.

'I wonder if he really meant what he said…' Ino thought as she began to remember the old times that her and Neji shared.

'But Chouji…' Ino also began to think of her and Chouji's good times.

Ino began to play with the necklace Chouji gave her on valentines and how he said those things.

'Was everything Chouji said a lie?' Ino began to think.

Ino slid down the door and began to cry. She didn't know what to do in this situation. Things were becoming hard for her to deal with.

-X-

After sitting in that spot for almost an hour Chouji finally decided to get up and find his girlfriend and try to sort things out.

'How am I going to convince her that I wasn't cheating…it kind of hard to believe a girl coming up and just kissing you out of nowhere.' Chouji thought was he walked through the streets of Konoha.

Chouji pulled out his phone and dialed Ino's number. The phone rang twice and went straight to voice mail.

'Damn it…she's ignoring me…fuck…why does shit always happen to me?' Chouji thought.

He had to get to Ino and sort all this out.

-X-

When he finally got to Ino's he rang the doorbell.

"Ino it's me please open the door so we can talk…" Chouji yelled.

"I don't want to see you right now." Ino replied through the door.

"Ino please…come outside and talk to me…" Chouji begged.

Ino opened the door and stepped outside. Her big blue eyes staring daggers into Chouji. Chouji thought for a minute to form the right words to say.

"Ino…you have to believe me…what you saw was…I mean it was but…I didn't want it to happen I swear."

"I'm sorry that I interrupted your quick fuck…I'll be sure to take my time the next time you tell me to meet you." Ino scolded.

"Ino…I don't even like Tenten like that…she just came out of nowhere and started kissing me…I tried to get her to stop but…"

"Really? Cause by what I saw it didn't look like you were trying to get her to stop…" Ino could feel tears coming back.

'Why would he try to use a lame excuse like that?' Ino thought.

"That's the truth Ino…I'm sorry that you saw what you did but…I'm confused right now…I don't know how to tell you it wasn't what you think it is…"

"Well why don't you just leave then? I don't have time for this." Ino turned to go back inside.

Chouji quickly grabbed her arm.

"Ino please don't do this to us. I love you and I don't want it to end like this." Chouji pleaded with her.

"Too late…goodbye Chouji…" Ino pulled her hand away from his and undid the necklace he had given to her.

She dropped it onto the ground and walked back inside. When she closed the door the tear erupted from her eyes like a volcano. It hurt her to do that but she couldn't be with a man that would tell such farfetched lies.

'It's for the best…' Ino thought.

On the other side of the door Chouji was in tears as well.

"I was finally happy for once in my life…and now it's all gone.' Chouji picked up the necklace and began walking home.

As he walked clouds started to form and it started to rain. As other villagers had hastened their movements Chouji continued at the same pace. He didn't care for the rain. He had just lost the one thing in the world that actually made him happy.

'I don't want to go home…not now…' Chouji decided to walk to the park maybe he could clear his mind there.

He sat on the park bench and looked into the lake. The rain still beating down onto him. He looked at the necklace that Ino had given back to him and remembered that wonderful night. His heart was filled with so much emotion that it could have exploded. Chouji finally wasn't rejected for being overweight he finally found someone that saw past his weight and saw the real him and now she was gone.

'I wish it would rain harder.' Chouji thought as he looked up into the clouds.

'Maybe it can wash away some of the pain…'

The next morning Chouji's alarm blared in his ear. He reached out from under the covers and felt around for the snooze button.

'I wish I could just stay here forever.' Chouji thought as he began to pull himself out of bed and get ready for school.

Chouji walked to school with a million things on his mind. He pulled out his phone and began to text Shika.

'Shika I need you to meet me in our old spot at the front of the school…come alone.'

'Why what's up?' Shika replied.

'I'll tell you when I see you'

'okay.'

Chouji stood in their old spot away from everyone. After a few minutes, Chouji saw Shikamaru walk up with his hands in his pockets.

"Now what was so important that you needed to meet me here." Shikamaru asked.

"Me and Ino are not together anymore and I didn't need Temari to know." Chouji replied.

"Is that why you look like shit? Damn dude what happened."

Chouji told Shikamaru what happened.

"Hmph do you really think anyone will believe that?" Shikamaru raised an eyebrow.

"I know it sounds crazy but that's what happened."

"Shikamaru you have to believe me." Chouji begged.

"Don't worry Chouji I believe you. You're my friend and I know you have no reason to lie to me." Shikamaru said as he put his hands on the back of his head.

"Now if only I can convince Ino that I'm not lying."

"Easier said than done Chouji."

Shika and Chouji stood in silence for a moment.

"Listen I'll tell Temari what happened if Ino hasn't already and we'll figure something out." Shika patted his friend on the back.

"Thanks Shika."

"No problem Chouji. What are friends for?"

"Well lets go talk to Temari now." Shika said and began to walk around the school.

Chouji walked along side Shika. Just when they were about to turn to go around the building something caught Shika's eye.

"Chouji whatever you do don't get mad." Shika said.

"Why? What is it?" Chouji replied confused at what his friend was talking about.

Shikamaru pointed to the road leading to the front of the school.

Chouji looked and could not believe what he saw. Ino was walking along side Neji and they were talking and laughing as if they were a couple.

Chouji started to feel his blood boil.
