Story Four - Loving Sakura: Ino & Sakura

She was beautiful in her despair. The cascade of tears enhanced her green eyes with an iridescent glow that Ino couldn't take eyes from. She sat beside her lifelong friend, listening to Sakura tell of Sasuke's most recent heartless slip of tongue. That boy didn't realize what a delicate prize he could have in Sakura. And while it upset her to see her friend in such a melancholic state, she was inwardly relieved that Sasuke had rejected her. It renewed her hope that perhaps one day Sakura would notice her as she noticed Sakura. Ino wasn't selfless in her love for Sakura, she wanted Sakura's heart for herself, Sasuke or any other boy that turned Sakura's head be damned.

 

“Shhh…s'okay, hon-,” She reached for her Sakura, pulling the sobbing girl into her arms and stroking the girl's shoulder length pink tresses. “You're beautiful; anyone who doesn't see that is a fool.”

 

Cornflower blue met glistening jade as Sakura pulled away, “Thank you, Ino.”

 

Ino's gaze fell to her friend's sad lips; the corners of her mouth were wet with tears. Ino would give anything to kiss away those salty tears, to turn the corners of that soft pouty mouth upwards into a smile.

 

Ino bent her head towards Sakura, brushing her lips over the girl's smooth forehead. “I love you Sakura, your happiness is important to me.”

 

Ino confessed her love for Sakura upon deaf ears; the girl was unaware of true depth of Ino's declaration, while Sakura was thankful to have found such a good friend in Ino.
