A/N:
Well here is another chapter! Enjoy, I think I am over coming my writers block! This might be a link, school started again xD! So maybe thats my influence? Not sure but enjoy!
Sakura counted the last of the cash in the cash register. They earned a good sum of money today. She nodded at Sasuke who started to close things up while Hinata stocked the rest of the clothes. Today was a very successful day. She had a chance with the beautiful blond and earned extra cash! It was a start to pay off the BFMV tickets. She couldn't wait until
"Sakura, have any plans tonight?"
Sakura looked back at Hinata with a small smile. Hinata was becoming more forward with asking to hangout. A few months ago Sakura had to ask her instead. But after getting use to Sakura, she finally opened up to Sakura.
"I am sorry Hinata, I got a date," Sakura said sticking out her tongue playfully. Hinata opened her mouth to ask for detail until Sasuke interrupted.
"Is it with Ino?"
Hinata looked at him with a surprised stare. Sakura wasn't sure if it was a good stare or bad. She turned towards Sasuke with a quirked eyebrow.
"Yes happens to be so. What is it to you?" She inquired to the Uchiha. She didn't like the tone in his voice when he questioned the date. Hinata looked back to Sakura with a weird face.
"You don't know the real Ino, do you?" He looked at Sakura open her mouth and shut it. He clicked his tongue, "she is known to go through people like clothes. She can't stand still in a relationship. She pursued me for some time before, but like I said. Not interested." He crossed his arms annoyingly as if it was just a minute ago she begged him. Sakura waved it off with her hand. Sasuke was just saying that to be an ass.
"Sakura, he is telling the truth. My cousin Neji was with her a couple months ago," Hinata blurted and bit her finger nervously. She probably didn't mean to blurt that out, afraid to harm Sakura's confidence. It wasn't everyday that her confidence was skyrocketing. Sakura probably had a confidence level near Hinata's.
"Well I don't like her that much," Sakura scoffed. She kept her game face on while she actually questioned herself. She wasn't attached to the blond yet. She didn't even know her well. It confirmed she wasn't in love.
"Yeah, tell us when you are crying about it." Sasuke shrugged before closing the shop up. Hinata looked between Sasuke and Sakura. She seemed to be wondering if she should take side but gave up pitifully.
"Whatever Uchiha." Sakura didn't need to listen to him. She didn't quite care if it was a fling. She wasn't putting full dedication in it either. She would be happy enough just to say she was with the blue eyed beauty.
"So what do you think?" Sakura gulped in air. She was sprawled out on her bed while looking at Tayuya, who was thinking. Sakura just got done spilling the details and was awaiting her future to be told. Tayuya was the ace of all relationships. She was in an abusive, dramatic, first love, cheating, and all the relationships you could possibly think of. She looked at Sakura then the ground thoughtfully. Sakura swung her legs to the side of the bed, wanting a better look at her cousin.
Tayuya sat in her computer swivel chair in a thinking position. Her legs were crossed along with her arms, her face looked determined.
"Well for one thing," she began while frowning, "I wouldn't be surprised if the outcomes were bad. Evidently this Ino has many ex's which would probably be jealous. It's a tough situation to decipher the ending." Tayuya shrugged casually. Sakura looked at her cousin. College was defiantly ruing her old slang. But she shrugged it off. Right now there were bigger problems.
"That was much help," Sakura huffed in defeat. Even her player cousin was having troubles. She mostly had the answer within ten seconds.
"Hey I tried pinky." She glared while crossing her arms across her black leather jacket. Sakura rolled her eyes. She didn't seem to try hard enough. "Well now you can just give me pointers on what to do." Sakura grunted while Tayuya's face brightened before she began to pace the room.
"Movies are too basic. Dinner makes you look too rich," she said looking at Sakura warily. Sakura quirked a dangerous eyebrow at Tayuya. It sounded like she was inferring Sakura was a hobo or something. "Which might cause her to use money off of you," Tayuya inserted with a matter of fact tone.
"How about a moonlit walk around the lake?" Tayuya insisted with her genius idea. Sakura looked up from her slightly bored state with a considering expression. It didn't sound like a bad plan. It seemed sweet and they could socialize more.
"You know," Sakura added, "you are a good romantic player." She ended with a laugh. Tayuya allowed herself to give a triumphant smile. She gave her ego the big boost it didn't need. It was big enough to start.
"Of course, you retard." She stated. Sakura rolled her eyes, she shouldn't have said anything.
"Ok now leave."
"Yeah and- isha what?" Tayuya blurted at her with a frown. "You can't just boot me like that! I have more cards up my sleeves!" She debated while Sakura began pushing her out the door.
"Whatever."
Once her cousin was out the door and finally left stubbornly, Sakura sighed. Once you got redhead going you couldn't stop her. After musing over what she was going to say to Ino, she picked up the phone and dialed the number slowly, trying to remember the number. The number dialed and ringed a couple times before a certain blond answered.
"Hello?" Her voice was soft and innocent once more. It wasn't like the voice she heard before, but then again, she had to sweet for the callers. Didn't want to scare them off.
"Hey," Sakura uttered. Ino let a surprised gasp, "Blossom!"
Sakura winced and furrowed her brows in confusion. Blossom? What the heck is up with that? She frowned, hopefully it wasn't her nickname. Though it wouldn't be a problem since it wasn't she had survive with it for long. It was just a fling relation, nothing more. But her mind wanted more.
"So what we going to do?" The blond piped up enthusiastically. Sakura giggled softly, she seemed excited.
"I was thinking that we could go walk around the lake?" Sakura asked more than stated. She didn't want to do something Ino wouldn't want to do. She didn't want to be possessive or a control freak. Hold on, why the hell was she caring? Sakura about let out a scoff. She was being over dramatic with this girl. She needed to bring it down a few notches, she almost sounds like she really like this girl.
"Aw that sounds romantic," she cooed playfully into the phone. Sakura ran a hand through her hair with a soft blush and chuckled embarrassed at the comment. Thank god to Tayuya.
"So I will pick you up?"
"Of course! I live near Naruto, two houses down from him!"
"Ok see you soon Ino."
"Bye Saku!"
Sakura waited until Ino hung up before turning the phone off. She sighed. It wasn't that hard to talk to the blond. But she still felt sick in the stomach. It was similar to the time when she was stage fright when she was five for an audition. But she savored this feeling more. She got up to retrieve her coat until she stopped, how the hell did she recall that memory? Another thing that caught her off guard was that Ino lived near Naruto! Not once did she hear or see Ino while over there. Naruto probably knew it all along. She would discuss it later with him. She grabbed the black coat and bee lined out the door. Once outside she got in her car and drove off towards Naruto's house and followed Ino's directions.
She soon seen a blond come out of the door with a smile and hopped in the rig. She was in tight jeans, which Sakura noticed first, and a coat. Underneath the coat she noticed something purple which revealed her bust. Sakura smiled sheepishly towards the blond before driving off.
The drive to the lake consisted of Ino talking about school life. Sakura replied with monosyllable replies due that she only caught half of it. Ino began to quiet down when they reached the lake. She seemed to be admiring the view. Sakura dismissed Ino's quietness and parked the car before climbing out. Ino followed.
"Sakura it's gorgeous," she beamed while pointing towards the lake reflecting the moonlight. Sakura smiled and began to walk towards the beach. Ino followed after her with a topic.
"So I take it Saku is abit Emo?" Ino began with a smile plastered on her face. Sakura scoffed, "nope." Ino gave a soft giggle while walking beside her companion. The taller girl noticed that the blond was getting closer to her. She looked the opposite direction with a soft clearing of the throat.
"So, what made you look up my skirt?" Ino teased lightly while Sakura blushed. Thankfully it was dark and it hid her reddened face. She would hate to see Ino giggling around her about being shy.
"Well," Sakura studied the ground while walking, "I got ran over by a skateboard by this loser and started cussing around. It hurt since the guy was a fatass," Sakura hissed remembering Kiba. "Then I heard giggling and looked up. That's when I seen your blue la- you're underwear." Sakura stopped her sentence while running a hand through her hair in embarrassment. Ino giggled more at Sakura's story.
"You have bad luck," Ino teased, "but you liked my blue underwear right?" Her voice was full of curiosity while she poked Sakura in the shoulder. Sakura winced and bit her lip. She wasn't in the right position to lie to Ino. The blond was probably the best human lie detector.
"Uh sure, they were nice underwear." Sakura uttered while scratching the side of her head. Her face reddened more on admitting she liked it, worse than the time Naruto pointed out that she was bleeding. Which was actually the beginning of her period in 7th grade, she never got spared a moment about it from Uchiha.
Ino started laughing more towards Sakura, which made her face more red. She couldn't believe she just admitted that to her. It was too embarrassing to just say: Hey I just looked up your skirt and was turned on!
"You're so shy Sakura," she cooed playfully, "I like it!"
Ino leaned on Sakura's shoulder, pulling her away from her brooding. Sakura tensed up, the blond was close. She could feel her warming up on her arm. Soon the blonde's left hand intertwined with Sakura's right. Her hands were very cold tonight. She wondered what Ino did to make her hands cold. They felt like they were on an ice cube for thirty seconds. But for an odd reason, Sakura preferred it that way. She moved her thumb above the blonde's hand and began to rub it back to warmth.
"That's good to know," Sakura smiled, she could feel Ino was smiling too.
They walked twice around the lake on the summer night. They forgot about everything including time. Their chattering was full of giggles and talking about funny situations. Before long Ino let go of Sakura, much to Sakura's un-liking, and ran onto the dock. She turned around and smiled at Sakura. Sakura smiled back, she looked beautiful with the moonlight illuminating her features. The pinkette wondered if all the guys she been with felt this way, felt so lucky to be with her. She paced towards the blond and sat down near her.
"That was fun Saku!" She exclaimed happily while throwing herself backwards on the dock. She was breathing lightly and looking at the shining stars.
Sakura allowed herself to lean back on her elbows and stare at the water. It looked like black tar that held monsters within its depths. But she knew it wasn't true. She swam in this lake many times before with Hinata, and the gang. It was the same lake, though warmer. (1)
She was too busy rummaging through her memories to notice Ino get up and go behind her. A few shuffles and thumps on the dock later it was too quiet. Sakura noticed Ino's absence and the silence. She turned around slowly to see a blur of cream. Before she could react a big splash made her jump. Sakura now believe in monsters, whatever the hell that thing was, it was fast! Within seconds Ino surfaced with a smile, Sakura looked at her wide eyed. It was dark and she wanted to go swimming? Ok, Sakura knew that it was much warmer during the night for swimming. But she didn't expect Ino to do this.
"Sakura jump in!" She cheered while swimming up towards the dock and resting her arms on it. Sakura gulped and looked at her like she was a freak.
"I didn't bring a swimming suite." Sakura choked while staring at the blond who rolled her eyes. "Neither do I blossom."
Sakura gaped a few times while pointing an accusing finger towards Ino. If she didn't bring one then… The dry one turned around and looked at the pile of clothing behind her. She slapped her eyes close while turning around and peeking through them.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course!"
Sakura fell silent while debating to either tell Ino she was crazy or make Ino get out. Either way she believed she would fail miserably. The blond seemed to catch interest with her fingers. Sakura looked at her once again to see if her eyes weren't playing tricks on her. Nope, they were telling the truth. There was a naked, skinny dipping Ino waiting for her to join. She noticed Ino shiver lightly, she was waiting for Sakura.
"You're totally serious?"
"Ok, if you don't want to then it's fine." Utter disappointed was in her voice while she noticed Ino rolled her eyes. Sakura frowned, "I was just making sure."
She began to undress herself slowly. Earlier admitting that she looked up her underwear didn't quite compare to this. Ino seemed to be enjoying the show, which Sakura felt more embarrassed about.
"Can you like, not look, at all?" Sakura urged which Ino waved off with a hand and swimming around. Sakura sighed before undressing herself more. She mumbled about telling Tayuya this was a plan gone wrong. She felt the night air touch her bare skin. Goose bumps crawled up her skin. She looked over to see Ino wading around patiently.
She stumbled over her shoes and then slowly slid off the dock and into the water. Sakura made a side note: bare skin against rough dock is not a beautiful feeling.
After she slid into the water she looked at Ino who turned around with a big smile. "Ha! I made you get in naked!" Sakura looked at her with wide eyes, was Ino not naked? The blond swam over towards the dock and lifted herself to reveal a purple swimming suit. Sakura's mouth dropped. Oh my god, she was a dumbass. That was the purple garment that was showing her bust! Sakura should have known by the look of it. Damn it, she was a retard. She looked up at Ino's amused eyes shyly.
"It's ok, I just wanted to see if you'd do it." Ino giggled while getting out and walking over to her clothes. Sakura allowed herself to stick her head half way underwater and blow embarrassed and mocking bubbles. How stupid was she? Ino probably was getting a kick out of this. She wasn't going to tell Tayuya or anyone now. This was beyond embarrassing. To be tricked to go skinny dipping with a person with swim suite. Hil-fucking-larious. Ino was probably looking at her naked body, she grabbed onto her innocent body while holding onto the dock.
"Oh don't worry, it's too dark to see you. Only the moonlight shows your hair and shoulders much." Ino certainly knew what she was worrying about. Sakura looked away from the blond before speaking.
"I would like to get changed." Sakura squeaked pitifully, Ino seemed to be enjoying this side of Sakura more. Sakura inferred it was because Ino was in control with Sakura's actions.
"But we are still soaking wet," Ino added while Sakura looked at Ino's dripping form. She could see the water sleek along her toned figure in the moonlight. She bit her tongue, Ino was right, it would ruin her clothes.
"Ok fine." Sakura added before looking at Ino. Ino immediately turned around for Sakura could get up on the dock to sit and wait to get a little dryer. Ino sensed Sakura was comfortable when the only sound was water droplets. She sat down near Sakura, Sakura shifted where her back was to Ino. Ino sighed in defeat, Sakura was clearly embarrassed.
"You are just fine," Ino encouraged, "I am actually looking forward to see you." She giggled and leaned on Sakura's bare back. The pinkette shivered lightly, she could feel Ino's cold shoulder on her bare back. Sakura tried to relax but the thought of Ino trying to feel her up or look at her didn't help. Then again, Ino admitting she would like to see Sakura made her more confident. It wasn't everyday that someone said you looked good. Well to Sakura anyways, but she mostly glared them off before they could speak to her.
They sat in neutral silence until Ino began to get up. "I think we dried off good enough." She beamed before going to her clothes, Sakura followed along to get her clothes. Thankfully was behind the blond. But a splash in the water and a gasping Ino didn't confirm things were going to be smooth.
"Aw Sakura my clothes fell in the water!" Ino whined while Sakura turned to see Ino fishing out her now soaked clothes. Sakura dressed in her warm clothing before going to Ino and looking at the mound of wet clothing. That was sure bad luck.
"Now Ino, you seem to have bad luck." Sakura gave a lopsided smile. Ino groaned while looking down in dismay, "I am cold too!"
Sakura took off her jacket and put it over Ino before patting her back. "This will have to do for now blondie." Ino smiled thankfully at Sakura before getting up while carrying her clothes. Sakura followed while putting arm across the blond to pull her closer to keep her warm. Ino complied without hesitation and leaned her head on the taller girls shoulder.
"Hey Saku, can I ask a favor?"
"Yes Ino?"
"Can I stay the night with you? It's kind of late and my parents wouldn't mind."
"Yeah, what ever floats you're boat." Sakura added with a small smile. Once they neared Sakura's car she pulled away from Ino and hopped inside the car. Ino did like wise and they drove towards Sakura's house. They didn't talk the whole trip, but it was a comfortable silence.
"So you think I can barrow a shirt and shorts from you?" Ino asked while climbing the stairs after Sakura. Sakura about slapped her forehead, she forgot to drop Ino off by her house.
"Sorry, I should have let you get clothes."
"It wouldn't of worked," she giggled, "my parents are asleep and door is locked. That's why I asked to stay with you."
Sakura nodded understanding the situation before reaching the top of the stairs. She then led the way to her room, Ino followed while admiring the hallway. She seemed to be absorbing the scenery around her, trying to remember each nook and cranny. Once they reached the inside of Sakura's room, Ino smiled.
"Sweet room," she added while twirling around in Sakura's slightly larger coat. The taller girl hummed a yes while taking off her shoes. She began to dig in her drawers for something Ino could wear.
"So you like Bullet for my Valentine?" Ino questioned while looking at the bands poster. Sakura looked back briefly at where Ino got that idea and nodded before returning to her task.
"Naruto said Sasuke is a fan too."
Sakura looked around and found a black tank top with matching black shorts. She threw them towards Ino while the blond looked at them.
"You also like black a lot," she noted with some disappointment. Sakura wasn't surprised, Ino liked lighter clothing more.
"Sorry it's all I got."
Ino shrugged before watching Sakura move towards her computer and boot it up. The screensaver was of the gang at McDonalds. Naruto had fries up his nose, while Lee had pop squirting out his nose. Sasuke shielded himself from it while Hinata wore Naruto's oversized hat, barely able to see. Sakura sat their looking at the camera innocently. It seemed to catch her off guard.
"You look cute," she noted while coming to rest her chin on Sakura while staring at the screen. Sakura shifted her head to look up and Ino moved her face down to look at Sakura. The girl giggled softly before kissing Sakura's head softly before walking back. Sakura smiled, she got her first kiss. Ino's lips were softer than an angel's touch, and heaven on earth. Matched up with Hot Topic, but the feeling was only momentarily.
"Don't look you perv," Ino teased with a small giggle. Sakura scoffed before flipping Ino off, she giggled more. "I am going to have to ask you to put clothes and swimsuit in the dryer." Sakura nodded which she noted Ino noticed.
Sakura sighed before looking at their picture. Ino was right. She did wear a lot of black. She stared at the picture, debating whether that was a good or bad idea. She heard Ino shuffle around. Soon movement on the screen caught her eyes. She looked closely into the picture of her black outfit. Soon Ino's reflection came into view, she was removing her swimsuit. Sakura blushed softly, her body was heavenly. It was the perfect view. she undressed the bikini bottom and lifted to reach the top. Sakura gaped as she discarded the piece.
Ino was beyond beautiful. She couldn't believe that her very being had nasty remarks in the shadows. Ino turned to retrieve the clothes Sakura gave to her. The view was now beyond perfection.
Sakura remembered that if Ino didn't have her swimsuit or clothes underneath. That would mean no bra or underwear. Her blush deepened significantly. Her eyes became indescribable and her bangs got in the way, Sakura's mouth widened in a toothy smirk.
She thanked god that she loved black. Other colors on the computer screen never let you see the reflection of people.
"Sleep arrangements?"
Sakura shook her head before turning around to a now fully dressed Ino. "Well if it doesn't bug you. I would say my bed," Sakura ran a hand through her hair nervously. "The both of us?"
Ino smiled and stretched while yawning. Her breasts came forward dramatically and the safety of the bra was long gone. "Yeah just don't be a chicken Saku," she sarcastically added before hopping onto Sakura's bed. She took the side near the wall and began to stare at Sakura with amused eyes. Sakura smiled back, her smile was contagious. She swiveled back towards her computer and turned on some sleeping music. This surprisingly consisted of soft songs consisting of One Republic, GooGoodollz, Metro Station and The Spill Canvas. She then went to her drawer and changed from the pants she was wearing to shorts. Ino watched the whole time and Sakura didn't care. For once, she wasn't self-conscience of her body.
She crawled onto her bed and slipped under the covers. Ino rolled over to face her with the same smile. Sakura brought up her hand to lay a finger on the blonde's bottom lip. She traced the soft pink flesh while staring at it lovingly. She wished that she could just kiss it. Ino soon grabbed Sakura's hand and lowered it gently before leaning in with half lidded eyes. Sakura started to lean in, she could see those baby blue eyes closing. She was so close. Their lips met each other into a long chaste kiss.
Sakura pulled away slowly while blinking her eyes open. Those lips were beyond soft. She wished she could have that feeling like gravity left the world and her stomach began to become stage fright again. Though Sakura believe it was called butterflies in her stomach than stage fright. Ino fluttered her eyes open with a sweet smile. Ino was beyond beautiful.
"You're too sweet Sakura," she commented before rolling over to face the wall. Sakura blushed lightly and scooted closer to mould into Ino's body. Ino sighed happily as the girl placed her arms across her and held her. She could feel the other girls love radiate through her body into Ino's body.
Within seconds Ino fell asleep but Sakura was left to lay awake. These feelings in her stomach wouldn't let her sleep. They didn't want to lose the feeling of Ino, the scent of love spell and the sight of her in peace. Sakura cuddled closer if possible and nuzzled the back of the blondes head. She allowed her hand to reach up towards the ponytail and release it from the rubber band. She covered her face with Ino's silky and sweet hair. She relaxed there for ten minutes, she still couldn't sleep. Her body was alive and keeping her awake. She was afraid to fall asleep. She was too caught up in this moment.
Sakura didn't want to miss a thing. She didn't want to miss Ino's occasional soft snore. She didn't want to miss Ino moving. She didn't want Ino to wake up alone. She didn't want to waste precious moments with Ino.
But within a few minutes Ino persuaded her that sleep was better. Sakura dozed off into a comfortable and pleasing sleep.
A/N:
