Description
The only sound Ino could hear was her own heartbeat thumping away like nothing

was going on, just a steady pace. A deep sigh escape her lips and she opens her

eyes to the reality of her very empty and utterly boring dorm room. How can a

human be this bored without a friend coming to her rescue? As if it had heard her

pain her little phone starts to vibrate and jingle to tell her she has a new

message. Ino throws herself at the phone to find that not only does she have one

message but 3! How could she have missed that? She immediately starts to read

the first one that is from Sakura.

”Hi Ino,

Just wanted to tell you that I won’t come to the room tonight, I’ll be out with Lee.

Then we’ll go to his apartment… I’ll tell you all about it later, hihi…

Sakura”

Ino looks at the ceiling, her only company.

”No point calling her then, hey?” She waits a moment as to give the roof of her

room time to laugh at her hilarious joke then she goes on to the next message,

hoping for better news.

“INO!!!!

Hopefully you have something to do tonight, since we are going home this

weekend, Hinata said she’d do the same, and Sasuke’s… don’t know what

Sasuke’s doing, but he won’t be on campus.

KISSES & HUGZ!!!// Nat-chan & Naru-chan”

Ino sighed; she could of used some of Natsumi’s energy right now. She could of

used company of any kind right now.  She takes a deep breath and a long and

heavy sigh leaves her lips. The third message is from Tenten. She opens the

message trying very hard not to raise her hopes.

”Hi buddy,

Just wanted to tell you that I’m gonna be out with Neji tonight, we’re practicing

some new moves for our next contest. You know, right? The break dance contest

we have been practicing for? I would’ve loved for you to come with, but we really

have to focus, so…

Sorry hun, see ya Monday, okay?

Tenten”

Ino throws the bearer of bad news to the floor beside her bed and she hears the

thud as it hits the floor but by then she has already curled up with a pout in

despair of her loneliness. She knew for a fact that Chouji, Kiba, Shino and

Shikamaru where away for the evening to watch some Monster Truck show since

they had invited her to come. She’d turned them down because she wasn’t that

interested in cars and wasn’t that keen to sit at a stadium having her eardrums

blasted while watching huge cars drive around.  She regretted it a bit now since

some company would have been nice.

But wait a second… Hinata didn’t live that far away, just a short ride with the buss.

Maybe she can save me from this misery. Ino leans over the edge of her bed and

picks up her cell phone. She dials Hinata’s number and waits for her to pick up.

After 5 tones Ino gives up and is about to hang up when she hears a soft hello on

the other end.

“Hinata? It’s Ino. Hey, wanna go catch a movie? I’m bored as hell.”

“Oh, I’m sorry Ino-chan,” Hinata said. “I’m babysitting my sister. Father is working

late tonight, so I have to stay home.”

Ino sighed not for the first time this evening.

“Doesn’t she have a nanny or something?” She asks almost desperately knowing

before it comes the answer won’t satisfy her.

“Yes Ino-chan, Hanabi-chan has a nanny, but she isn’t working this month. She’s

away on her honeymoon.” Ino heard something in the background. “Oh, I have to

go now, dinner’s ready, and it’ll get burnt if I don’t take care of it.”

Ino sighed again. There just wasn’t enough of those this evening.

“Okay, have fun with your sister,” she said not so enthusiastically.

“Thanks, I will… and oh, Ino-chan?”

”What?” Ino says while rubbing her temple.

“Try to find something to do, okay?”

Well at least she cares she thought when she heard the worry in Hinata’s voice.

This warms Ino’s heart a bit but she also knows that Hinata will be very worried

about her.

“Sure, umm... I can always call some high school friends, or something… I have a

few. Don’t worry about me.” Ino tries to reassure not only Hinata but also herself.

“Good, then I’ll be seeing you, okay?”

“Aha. See you Hinata.”

They hang up. For a moment Ino looks at the phone with empty eyes, then she

throws with all her strength into a wall so that the battery falls out. Knowing that

there’s no point in putting it back together she lies down on the bed and yells into

the pillow. She had lied to Hinata. She had no high school friends. Except for

Shikamaru and Chouji. They were the only ones that could stand her after

graduation. She had been a total bitch in high school, there was no denying it.

Sure, she had known Sakura since the cradle but they had gone to a different

school for so many years and it had been a complete surprise when they saw that

they were roommates. They hadn’t even known that they were accepted to the

same college.

Ino started to punch the pillow her head was buried in. Thud, thud, thud was the

only sound to be heard. She was all alone. Thud, thud, thud. She didn’t have any

friends she could hang out with; they were all busy. Thud, thud, thud. She couldn’t

go home because of the fight she’d had with her father. THUD! The last punch was

extra hard thinking of the fight with her father. She flips over so that she’s on her

back and just breaths. Deep breathes. She closes her eyes and thinks through her

options. She could clean, but that would mean losing the organised chaos she

had. How would she be able to find her stuff if it wasn’t in plain sight on the floor?

When was she gonna need to find the floor anyways? She could… study? The very

thought made Ino groan loudly and screw up her face. It’s Saturday night no one

should be subjected to the horror of homework during the small time of freedom

they had. Besides she didn’t have enough brain cells to be thinking right now.

But with nothing else to do she slowly dragged her way towards the desk where a

too thick textbook was laying, waiting to torture unfortunate students. Suddenly

there was a sound from the window. She pauses wondering if she’d imagined it

when she hears it again. She walks over to the window and opens it, curious to

whom her saviour might be.

“Yo, Ino!” someone whispered from under her window.

“Who is it?” Ino asked. She felt fear gripping her heart for a second.

“It’s me, Deidara, un. I’m bored, wanna go catch a movie?”

I never thought I’d see a member of the Akatsuki as my savior she thought.

Especially not Deidara. “Sure, I’ll be right down,” she said and closed the window.

She goes to look herself I the mirror.

She only needed a quick look in the mirror; she didn’t need to change anything.

She wore dark blue low-cut jeans, a purple tube top with silver rings on the front

and a black leather jacket over it. Her long blonde hair was put up in a ponytail

high upon her head, and she didn’t have to put on more makeup, it still looked as

good as it had done when she put it on this morning. She looked as hot as ever.

She put on her shoes, a pair of well-worn black sneakers. She grabbed her keys

and her wallet from her bedside table ad placed them safely in her inner pocket of

her jacked. She stops in the doorway and looks at the pieces of her cell phone.

She wouldn’t need it. What was he gonna do, kill her? She would be safe; she

could handle herself. Feeling confident she leaves the dorm room, locking the door

behind her. She turns to come face to face with some of her female dorm mates.

“Where are you going?” a brunette called Eriko asked.

“Out,” Ino said trying desperately to keep this conversation as short as possible.

“I heard you talking to a guy through your window,” a girl with dark brown hair,

Mitsu, said.

“Who was he?”

“A friend. We’re gonna go catch a movie. You guys wanna come with?” Ino asked,

wishing they’d just leave her alone. They’d never accept that’s for sure, they just

wanted to gossip from a safe distance.

“No way!” a blonde called Yuriko said. “Don’t you know who he is? His name is

Deidara, and he’s a part of the Akatsuki!” The girls gasped and looking at Ino with

big eyes.

“You know what the Akatsuki is, right Yamanaka-san?” Eriko said, teasing. “It’s a

criminal organization! What are you doing, being friends with a criminal?”

“First of all; all of them have been freed from all charges because of very strong

alibis and lack of evidence, second of all; you’d be surprised how many in this

school that are friends with the Akatsuki,” Ino said. Then she sighed. “See you

later, okay?” Hopefully in hell, she added as an after thought. She then left the

girls to their whispering. Only they were whispering very loudly.

“You think she might be a member?” Mitsu asked.

“She might,” Eriko said then asking dumbly. “But wouldn’t that mean the rest of

the Konoha State 13 is members too? I mean, they’re always together…”

“You are so stupid,” Yuriko said. “She’s not a part of the Akatsuki, I think she just

sleeps with them. She went to the same high school as my friend, and she told me

Ino was a real slut. Every guy had at least one go with her…”

Ino heard every word. And those words were like knives stabbing at her heart. It

really hurt that they believed such things about her. She felt her eyes burning with

tears but she wouldn’t let them see them, they didn’t deserve it. She put on the

coldest and stoniest mask she could possess and then turned back to them.

“Would you just shut up already?” she yelled. “I can still hear you, you know!”

The girls shrieked and rushed into one of the rooms, they probably wouldn’t shut

up. Ino sighed for what she hoped to be the last time that evening, she was

growing tired of it. She hurried of to the main entrance and looked around. She

couldn’t see Deidara anywhere. Had he left? Had he only come over to play a

prank? Feeling fresh tears I her eyes she gathers the last pieces of hope she has

and walks to the parking lot hoping that he was just waiting by the car or

something.

And that’s where she found him. He was leaning against a black car, she couldn’t

tell what kind it was and she honestly didn’t care. It just looked nice. He didn’t

look too bad either. “What took you so long?” This interrupted her slightly

disturbing thoughts and put her mid onto something else… that was also

disturbing.

“My neighbours stopped me outside my door. They started lecturing me about life

and then said some nasty things when they thought I didn’t hear them.”

“You want the Akatsuki to talk to them?” Ino looked at Deidara; he seemed

genuine.

“No,” she said. “I can handle whatever they’ll say about me. Hey, I went through it

my entire high school time, whatever they make up it won’t be something I haven’t

heard before.” Deidara shrugged and opened the passenger door.

“Come on, let’s go.”

Ino nodded and got in the car.

*******

After the movie they seemed to come to a silent agreement that none of them

really felt like going home just yet. That’s how they ended up having a silent stroll

I the park. Ino wasn’t bothered by the silence so she let it be. That was until she

saw it.

“Look,” she said; coming to stop. “It’s a full moon tonight.”

They’d stopped in a clearing though there was a bench just a few feet away.

There were no trees near by so they had a clear view of the cloudless sky where a

huge moon was hanging.

“So?” Deidara said. “Let’s keep going, un.”

Ino took his arm. “No, wait. Let’s stay a bit longer.” Deidara looked at her. Her

blue eyes were glistening like stars and sparkling like ice. They were so pretty…

she was so pretty. Deidara felt himself blushing and looked away, hoping Ino

wouldn’t see it.

They walked over to the bench and sat there looking at the moon. “It’s so

beautiful,” she said; mesmerized. “Somehow, everything seems so magical when

it’s full moon.” She looked at Deidara with wide eyes. “Don’t you think so too?”

Deidara smiled nervously and nodded. “I guess, un,” he said moving a bit closer

he added.

“But things are always more magical at night.”

Ino tilted her head, frowning at the same time as she had one of those ‘what the

hell are you talking about?’-looks. “They are? What do you mean?”

“For example…” he brushed Ino’s bang to the side. “I’ve never seen a pair of eyes

shine so magically in my life,” he whispered with a husky voice.

Ino blushed deeply and ducked her head down into her hands. She then felt his

hand lifting her chin up again until their eyes where meeting. For a few seconds

they stayed that way, gazing into each other’s eyes. Those seconds felt like a

lifetime. Then they both leaned in, closing their eyes. Ino felt his soft lips on hers

as they kissed. Then on some common impulse she opened her mouth to let him

explore it with his tongue. Later that night she would be thinking about how much

better it was then she’d thought it would be but right now her mind was of letting

her heart control.

She let the last sigh for the evening fall from her mouth blissfully, a sigh of

pleasure as Deidara pulled her into his arms to kiss her more deeply.
