Sakura looked into the eyes of the woman she normally hated; only this time instead of the burning hatred she felt warmth that could only be recognized as love. She wanted to deny the feelings and run away. Of course she knew she couldn't, she loved Ino and that would never change. She thought as she watched Ino hang out with Choji and hang all over him she felt pain and jealousy. Ino was as straight as a woman could be, Sakura wasn't sure she herself was.

Sakura did her best to ignore the feelings as they all gathered for a bite to eat at the ramen shop. She kept glancing at Ino curiously, occasionally catching her glance back at her. They looked away at the same time with snide remarks. Ino went back to flirting with Choji as she previously was, and Sakura tried flirting with Naruto to take her mind off of what was happening in her head and heart.

"Hey, Sakura, are you okay?" Naruto's voice rang into her ear from beside her. He looked a bit concerned at Sakura as she mindlessly played with her food.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm fine." Naruto looked at her with a sort of subtle disbelief before he took her hand and made her stand up, dragging her off to a secluded place. The others whistled but Ino looked after them jealously.

"Sakura, I know you're not telling the truth, so spill it." Sakura was a bit surprised at how Naruto was acting, but she sighed knowing that if there was anyone her secret was safe with it would be Naruto.

She cleared her throat before speaking, "Well, Naruto I've been thinking about Ino in ways I never have before and I can only describe it as love. I've tried to think about guys and even tried flirting with you, but I realized I don't like it. I'm scared Naruto, what does it mean?" Sakura buried her face in Naruto's chest slowly starting to cry. Naruto hugged her tightly and smiled down at her.

"It seems to me like you might be what are called lesbians, but I could be wrong, best thing to do is wait it out. If you're completely positive then act on it." Sakura looked up at him feeling a lot better about it all; she kissed his cheek and nodded. That's what she will do and hopefully these feelings go away.
