''sorry-'' Temari smirk.

''-i can't believe Naruto can find a girlfriend, that crazy brat'' Temari added not losing the grin on her lips for the news that their friend said.

''yeah your right! he so childish,and doing such weird franks,'' Tenten added.

the two start talking about the yellow whisker boy and laughing not noticing that the shy girl beside them is now making a grimace in her lips,

Ino, who only watching Hinata's reaction smirk. but Hinata suddenly stand up and hit the table by her two hand, make the other girl stop laughing and look to each other.

''p-please, s-stop making fun of Naruto kun he is .. he is-'' the pearly eye of Hinata, welled up by tears as she sobbed softly

''i'm sorry Hinata, we didn't mean anything about that, you see all of us know each other for long time now, we are just joking'' the buns haired girl said,and tap the shoulder of the timid girl who seem like upset for what she heard

''But-

-that guy is really idiot'' Ino said,not looking at them and just mixing her juice with straw.

''hey Ino-'' Tenten said

Ino ignored her and look seriously to the pearly girl ''tell me, did Sakura really push you?'' the three girl look directly to what the blonde girl uttered

''-so that Sakura return for being b*tch again?'' Temari release a small chuckle

when Ino look at her in a death glare in her eyes,Temari raised her hand and gesture a zipper in her mouth.

the pearly girl immediately shake her head

'' Haruno san-

'' - didn't push me,i fell to the ground by myself and Haruno san-''

''help you but you refuse cause you afraid of her because of those bad rumor around here right?'' Straight forward said by Ino and the pearly eye look away.

''stop it Ino'' Tenten warn her, Ino looked away and get a fries then put in her mouth, she see the timid girl make more uncomfortable face, make she felt a little sorry for being Straightforward

Ino groan.''i didn't meant anything, i just want that narrow headed guy now the true-''

''Ino,I-i already tell it to Naruto kun.'' hinata said and the three girl look at the same time to her.

it's already past 9 o'clock when the four girl decided to leave the burger shop. Tenten and Hinata go in the same way, while Temari rushing to go to cafe to meet her boyfriend shikamaru. In the end the blonde girl left alone, walking to the noise alley ,thinking their conversation of the pearly girl.

''Ino, i-i already tell it to Naruto kun.''

''and what he said about it''

'' he didn't say anything and jut changed the topic immediately ''

Ino massage her forehead when she remember it, ''after knowing the truth how that yellow idiot didn't say anything!''

Ino face is full of trouble in the situation, that even her can't find a solution, how can she bring back the good relationship between that two idiot and how can the three of them-

-the three of them be the same again like before, their friendship, how become like that? they bond they build for so many years slowly break-in like a rust chain in just a blink of a eye.

flash back

''I-N-O pigggg!'' Sakura shouting like her cord in her neck, gonna blast any minute while her both hand waving and the whisker boy beside her can't stop jumping in his seat and holding a weird banner that have a photo of her face in the pigs body

''those idiot!!'' Ino cover her face and look down upon seeing those two friend of her cheering in the upper part of auditorium.

''they really want me to embarrassed here?after this competition i will give those idiot a good punch! how dare them to paste my pretty face on that pig's body!'' Ino grip hold tightly on the scores (music sheet).

Her performance done so smoothly and because of her good play, she won the first place in the regional tournament and became a candidate to compete in the national tournament. that's why Ino became even more busy.Preparing herself for competition, either way their bonding with each other was still unbreakable even though his friend Naruto was also busy in his football team.

Sakura who didn't member of any club give her best to cheer both of them. their friendship is solid, every one support each other, never turning they back to each other, even when-

-Sakura's mother passed away.

''Sakura chan, you need to take a rest,'' Naruto said to the pink haired girl that sitting on the floor and just dazed to her mother coffin.her eyes are both swallow for to much cry-

but Sakura can't heard him, her face is blank and can't see any emotion left on her emerald eyes.

''how is she?'' the blonde girl that standing in the back said, but Naruto only slowly shake his head both of them feel so much pain and sorry to see their best friend fell into grief.

after burying her mother Sakura locked herself in her room for a week, never talk to anyone and was always crying. they visit every day but not once, Sakura, never come out.

then one day after a few weeks of confinement of herself, they saw the pink haired girl again, they felt happy when they saw her sitting in her chair, even Sakura is still dazed and they knew the pain of losing her mother was still there and they know even they tried to replace it, and make another happy memory those feeling well never disappeared but, they still hope that because of their effort, one day -

Sakura can overcome it all.

They made a way to bring back the old sparkle in her eyes, even though it was difficult. And thanks to the dark haired guy that transfer in their school that time, they saw a hope in Sakura's eyes. That someday, Sakura can smile again, but-

- in the end, the emerald orb eaten by despair, her life slowly tossing in a deep darkness,making her own life suffer in sorrow. she shut her eyes in anguish and torture herself.

and in a long way of helping her to overcome her sorrow, in the end-

- their pink haired friend disappear in their gaze with out they knowing

''hey Ino, do you think any reason why Sakura suddenly avoided us?'' Naruto said but Ino only shake her head.

'' let's give her more time Naruto, you know how much she supper when her mother die''

even Naruto want to speak again, he stop his self and just groan.

''let's go and see her again after our club activities,'' Ino said left the yellow haired guy groaning by himself

Ino thought Sakura like the transfer guy Sasuke. She thought with Sasuke's presence, Sakura could change even a little bit, but

''why this happening? Sakura still avoiding us and why i heve this feeling that, when dark eye guy come here, why i feel Sakura become more worst.'' while continuing to worrying her friend, Ino couldn't help but think of that.

When that guy first arrived, she saw something strange in Sakuras eyes that caused her to hope that it would be a reason for her to move on.

Going back to her club room, Ino mind's spinning so much, she so worry about her best friend, when suddenly she felt presence in her back, when she lift her head and try to look who is that a cold hand held in her back then

''E-eh?''

Her mind become blank, seeing herself falling in the stairs.

when she woke up, she already in hospital, there is no critical damage in her body except her hand...

Ino, can't even cry while the doctor telling her that she might can't play piano every again.Naruto hug her tightly seeing her friend can't even react to misfortune that happen to her..

- in a blink of the eye, Ino's dream crumple into a sand, and vanish in the wind. The blonde girl didn't realize that day, when she lose her dream, the same day that the bond they trying to build again with the pink haired girl is starting to rotten.

when she come back in school, Ino is feeling down, she depressed cause her best friend never visit her in the hospital, resting her head in the desk Ino sigh, when she notice a three shadow walking toward to her chair.

'' hey Ino, is really true?'' Ino look up seeing her three classmate that scattered in her chair.

''about what?''

''They said, they saw who push you on stairs.'' her face change into a rage, she stand up and look seriously to her classmate

'' tell me who is it!'' the girl hesitate for a second then, look in the side and never left her gaze on the chair near in the window and when Ino notice that the girl looking something in the back,Ino follow her gaze..

her both blue eyes wider and the face of the blonde girl become furious and snatch the girl neck tie in a flash, making the girl whimper.

''H-hey Ino, what your doing let her go!'' the other girl said to Ino, but her eyes is really fully of rage, to see this three b*tch, telling a lie and making a gossip about her best friend.

'' HEY!! Listen! i'm not in the mood to ride your stupid jokes so before i choke you using your neck tie, shut, your d*mn mouth'' then Ino let her go and push her slightly then turn her back and come forward to the pink haired girl who just looking at them when she notice that they classmate and Ino looking at her at the same time.

but Ino hasn't go near to her friend when the girl she she almost choked suddenly speak while holding her neck and faking her cough as if Ino really choke her.

'' why you won't believe us, every one knows about it! they even have a witness ''

Ino turn around ''didn't i warn you? shut up!!!'' and shouted.

''-Sakura will never do that things, all of you just making all of that so before my mind lose control you better to closed those big mouth of yours!''

''Were not making story here, we just telling to you what every one talking and why you can't compete in national!''

''hey! if you say it again, i swear i gonna break your leg!''giving her a death glare.

''then, tell me Ino-'' the girl with a short girl and glasses, who sitting quietly in front suddenly speak, ''-why Sakura never visit you in the hospital if she really not guilty?'' the short haired girl uttered, therefore, all the attention of the people in that room was focused on her.

''that's right! Meyuki have a point, why she didn't visit her best friend. maybe she really do it that's why she can't visit Ino'' every one start to murmur and whisper to one another, and all their eyes landed to the pink haired girl that still sitting quietly in the back.

''don't make a stupid speculation! Sakura is just busy so she didn't come to me in the hospital-''

'' busy? even peeking at the hospital for a brief of time for her best friend?'' Meyuki added

''you all know Sakura's mother is die so we should understand why Sakura can't-''

''even so! Sakura' mother die a month ago, but Ino you still alive, and the fact that incident make your life ruin, why you best friend not showing any of sympathy to what happened to you?''

Ino lost a word, and make even them more murmuring inside the classroom, the atmosphere become more intensified, everyone make their own speculation make Ino furious and cursing them in her breath

''Ino, we really telling the truth your beloved friend really push you and the reason why she not even visit you when your are in the hospital you cannot com-''

Slap!

Ino slap her face '' i warned you didn't i?!''

the fight between Ino and three girls in they class start, but Sakura only look at them in a cold way,

3 vs 1,and even Ino's right hand still have bandage she will never forgive who say something like that to her friend over her death body. The classroom turn into Arina, the four girl who fighting like a madman, didn't hold back to each other,

Sakura who looking at her friend, beating up by other girls, bite her lips so hard and make in more red cause of a tiny blood.

the four women continue they fighting when Meyuki stand up and walk toward them '' Stop it! this fight is useless! '' Meyuki said, standing between the blonde girl and her three classmate

"Instead of fighting to each other because of the gossip, why don't you just ask the person involved-

-isn't it right Sakura?" The emerald orb just landed her sharp gaze at Meyuki who looking at her too. smirking!

"Sure!, let's do that! ask Sakura, so your all big mouth stop spreading d*mn rumors " then she turned right away to her friend who wasn't looking at her and just fixed her gaze to the four eye girl Meyuki.

"Ne, Sakura, tell to their butt face,that rumors is not true and that gossip is such a ridiculous . And you can't do that to me, right?" even her lips feel sting because of a little wound for fight just a minute ago, as she stood there and waiting for answer she felt nervous,

'' why i feel nervous, as if i doubt her?'' Ino simply close her eyes and shaking her head.''No!! get your hold your self Ino, Sakura will never do that things! That B*tch is just making up stupid story to confuse your mind''

but because what Meyuki uttered, her mind sway a little doubt on her friend and can't stop thinking the things she saw before she lose consciousness,

a pink hair!

Ino quickly slap her mind of the thought who suddenly entered her mind ''your idiot! stop that, you might seeing things for shock when you fell, there's no way Sakura do that,NO WAY!!'' but why-

- why her self steam for believing on her friend slow become blurred while waiting for an answer from her, make her feel so much uneasy and her mind slowly eaten by doubt. Just looking into her eyes, not even changing even she's here standing in front of her, while her hair and uniform mess and even have a wound in her right arms, why -

-why Sakura eyes never changed? why she can't even see any sorry in her eyes? why it's all blank as if what happened to her is never happened at all?

''hey forehead why your not answering? just tell them already so all of this stop now,and all of them make apologies to you for those go-''

Ino lose a straight to continue, when Sakura gaze look at her, make her face a distorted expression

''NO!'' her mind screaming

Sakura open her mouth ''I-ino-''

''NO!!!DON'T TELL IT!! '' she afraid to what her best friend trying to say

'' -its tru- ''

slap!!

Ino tremble left hand landed to Sakura's cheek.Every one shock. but Sakura only look at her in her eyes with no emotion as if she didn't feel the pain or just

- she expecting it?

the pink haired girl fixed her gesture after Ino slap her face and speak again ''i-its tru-''

slap!

another loud slap landed on the pink haired girl '' Stop fooling around, it's not funny at all,i'm asking you to tell the truth not making another stupid story'' Ino voice starting shaking while she talking, her eyes, looks like it want to drop a tiny water but she trying her best to stopped it.

Every time the pink haired girl uttered a word ''true'', she felt like cold water had been poured on her, the pain that brought of those one word make her whole body feel agonize like a thousand needles stabbing all over her body.

''i ask again and you only need to answer is NO, so-

- it is true?'' with a shaking of lips and pinched crying voice Ino ask again.

''its tru-''

slap!

for the third time Ino's hand landed to emerald orb cheeks, and its turn red and swallowed

''e-even you slap me over and over, my answer is the same,and I don't care if you believe it or not,is not my problem anymore'' Sakura said it in a cold way,make Ino open her mouth for disbelief

Ino stunned, slowly put her hand down in her side,and the pink haired girl followed her gaze in to it. stand up and look at the blonde girl who lost her gaze in air.

''Ino-'' Sakura slowly lean her head to the blonde girl who still daze and still broke to what happen around her

''- run away from me, that's the only way your life-'' Sakura stop and closed her eyes for a second before continuing

''- not become miserable, that's my last warning to you'' Sakura whisper to her ears then turn back and start to walk away when Ino gather a courage to speak again with out even looking to the pink haired girl.

''why? why you did that? we are friends right?''

the pink haired girl halt with out looking too Sakura answer '' no reason, and friends?-'' she chuckle ''- that all in the past, not in the present nor in the future!''

then start walking, away in the classroom who left the other student more murmuring about they seen and the blonde girl-

-who still looking down on Sakura's chair, feel lost, hurt and suppressing her feeling and forcing her self not to cry even a single drop.

but in the depths of her heart, she weeps, she whining, to loud! so loud, that even though she is surrounded by noisiness, she still doesn't notice, as if her ear is deaf that can't hear any sound

their friendship became a fragile thread that would eventually tear off and can no longer be connected.

all of their memory being together just throw like a trash in a split of a second.
