The days have passed, Ino never talk or approach the pink haired girl, she just focused on her rehabilitation and act like the pink haired girl doesn't exist in her life.

'' Ino, are you really act like that? how could you believe those rumors? you must know it for your self that Sakura chan can't do such things!''

Naruto start fussing again, and interfere the blonde girl who eating her lunch.

''Here we go again! Naruto can't you see i'm eating right now? So please stop it, before i lose my appetite .'' Ino point her fork at the yellow haired guy who whining all time they see each other.

Naruto grab her hand that holding a fork, ''Before stab me of those fork, let's go first to Sakura chan, if you talk again, i'm sure those misunderstanding well be cleared.'' but before he can even pull Ino, she snatch her hand on his grip.

''Stop it already Naruto! there is no need to talk, she already admit it'' Naruto eyebrow scowl on annoyance to what the blonde girl uttered

'' Not just because she admit it, doesn't mean she really do it! And i won't accept these!'' He walk out, and Ino only look at him.

Every time they cross their path of the pink haired girl, Ino just act normal, she didn't even make eye contact to the old friend and the yellow haired guy never give up, he still following her, talking at her like before even if the emerald orb always ignoring and pushing him away.

Walking back to her classroom, she suddenly stop when a two girl talking in her back and heard the name of the pink haired girl

''Hey did you know, Sakura always be seen with Karin and her gangs this past days..'' the girl said.

'' Really?'' the other girl who looked so surprised about that rumors.

''Yes, and -'' the girl sign a gesture make the ear of the other girl come closer ''-they said, Sakura are the one who make an order to Karin about bullying others student here..'' she whisper

''It's scary..'' then make a gesture of her body as if she is shaking in cold weather.

The two girl behind continue their conversation while the ears of the blonde girl walking in front are turn in red for suppressing her anger.

But what the last statement of the girl make Ino angry temperature turn into 100 degree?

''-and do you know that bitch even flirting on Sasuke kun after flirting with other popular guy her, she's really a sl*-''

''HEY!'' Ino suddenly look back and shout to the girl behind her make both of them startle and even drop those bread they holding for shock of Ino's suddenly scream.

''W-what is it?'' the two said shaking in fears seeing the angry face of the blonde girl

''Y-'' but before the word come out to her scowl mouth, Ino stop and cease her anger upon recalling what the pink haired girl said

'''friend? that in the past, not in the present nor in the future'''

''- nevermind '' she said with her narrow eyebrow then turn around and quickly walk away, and left the two girl who both mouth and shoulder drop.

Every day passed more rumors have been show about the pink haired girl and Ino decide to ignoring it,

One by one they turn they back at her,and talking back against her, only Naruto who still wondering around her even if, she always drives him away , until that day..

Another bright day come again, but for Ino, there just a gloom and boring day, and coming to school every day make her felt suffocating, not fun at all. walking in the locker shoes, Ino notice some student are gathering together in the main bulletin board.

Standing behind of those student, Ino wondering what is going on when one student said her name '' Hey it's Ino?''

Make all the student attention turned into her and start whispering again, make Ino's left eyebrow rise.

'''What the heck is going on?'''

One by one, the student who block the bulletin step a side, and Ino's view to the board is all clear. Still puzzle to what happening, Ino make a step toward to the board, making all the student around her start they non-stop chit chat to one another.

Ino doesn't pay much attention of all bees that gathering around her, she more curious to know what is going on. Because of many papers paste on the board Ino eyes narrow for searching what those loud bees whining about when her gaze caught a picture of familiar yellow haired guy.

''what is this picture-'' Ino can't continue and just immediately run, not bother if there some student block her way or bump to her.

'''Why that article suddenly come out?''' searching toward to the yellow haired friend of his. Her mind can't stop thinking to those article. The picture of Naruto who talking to a guy while holding their collar and his right hand holding a cigarette.

Ino know very well that Naruto is never use cigarette and never bitten others with out a good reason. Rushing to go to the yellow haired guy classroom, Ino saw one of his friend.

''hey, Shino-'' catching her breath, Ino word is like a horse voices, she felt like her throat scratchiness for feeling anxious for her friend Naruto

-where is....Naruto?''

Upon hearing to Shino the location of the yellow haired guy, she quickly run toward where is he.

''What happen why that article about Naruto suddenly show up? and who did that?''

'' they said its-'' Shino hesitate then look to the blonde girl in distorted face make Ino heart feel anxious to see those face of her.

'' don't tell me its-''

Shino only nod '' yes it's Sakura, they said it's Sakura?''

What Shino uttered earlier make Ino mind hurt, she can't believe what she heard, either way the important now is Naruto.

If the teacher saw it, it might become huge trouble for the whisker boy Violating the rules might cause him to dismissal.

A thin layer of sweat covered the white nape of her neck, after seeing those article Ino running for almost 30 minutes now, but even her heart pumping so fast and her breath came in short gasps, Ino can't stop running, finding his friend is her priority that her numb and tired legs but even the school is not big why she can't find any trace of the whisker boy.

''That idiot, where did that idiot go?'' looking around while chasing her breath.

But instead the yellow haired boy, Ino found a familiar pink figure causing her speed to slowed down, and eventually make her stop for running.

The pink haired girl who looking for something in the wall lift her head and see the blonde girl standing not far to her.

when Ino see her she immediately walk toward to the old friend that not moving and just stare at her that walking toward to her location. Facing to each other, Ino simply gaze those thing that the pink haired girl looking earlier.

Her grip on her both side automatically closed tightly seeing the one she looking is article about Naruto and what her feel worst is, to see her, not making any emotion while looking to those article. The article that might cause for ruining of life of her friend.

And the pink haired girl are still the same,

- same when their friendship become trash that day. And even now ,she still-

-her face has no trace of emotion and her eyes still cold

Ino who she still chasing her breath like a cold air bit into her lungs. Gather all her strength, looking at her seriously '' H-hey, d-did you do it?''

For the second time, like before, the blue eyes girl asking a most hurtful word again to her former friend. Like a deja vu that torture her every day she see the pink haired girl.

But what make Ino eyebrow rise in distorted is when a mocking smirk draw on Sakura's lips seems like her smile indicates she looking down on someone.

''Your smiling? How dare you to smile like that?''

''Then? do you want me to cry?'' Sakura said in ironic tone.

''What?''

But Sakura didn't answer and started take a step and just passed her, make Ino complexion turn dark, and immediately snatch the thin arms of the pink haired girl that make her dumbfound face and look to the blonde girl that the eyebrows meet in annoyance.

''I'm not done! tell me are you the one who made that article?'' her grip hold tight in her arm not aware that it's slowly turn from pale to a bit red for gripping to much and the pink haired wince for pain but she quickly composed herself so the blonde girl who twitches her teeth which has obviously suppressed her anger not noticing it.

Sakura know very well that chattering her teeth is a way for Ino to compose herself and put down her bad-tempered, and that's facts make the pink haired can't stop a mischievous smile again make Ino more annoyed.

''just answer me!'' pushing forward to her more and the pink haired girl face become more close to her, looking each other gaze.

Sakura who quickly back for being sarcastic face, snatch her arms to the grip of Ino and immediately make a few distance away from her.

''And what do you think? did i do it?''

''Don't twisted my word!''

Sakura didn't answer and just look at the blonde girl in her cold glare.

''Do you know what can happen to Naruto because of that article, that not even true?''

Sakura look away for a second before look again to her gaze as if she guessing the answer to Ino's question, that obviously she already know the answer, and still act that she haven't clue at all ''Whatever happens to him, it's not my problem '' she said without showing any hesitation in every word she uttered.

That's why the anger that Ino had been suppressing earlier finally exploded. '' Do you hear what you're saying! because of that article, because of you! ''

Ino poke her chest hard make the pink haired girl step backward every time Ino poking her and Ino's voice have a tone that any minute a tears might fall

'' maybe Naruto -'' closing her eyes for thinking that make her heart ache.

She know very well how hurt to know that only things that make you happiness is suddenly snatch by such thing called unfortunate

-for something he didn't do! and what worst is , knowing your the one who did it! how much that pain to burden his shoulder every time he remember that this fucking article are cause by the precious person on his life, and you!-

- don't feel any regret or sorry for him! he's just the only person who stay next to you, the person who came- '' holding her both hand of crumpled clothes of the pink haired girl.

Ino lost her courage to continue, when a cold tears that she was preventing from dripping finally fell on her blue eyes that were fading because of the tears that continue to flow

'' D-did I tell him to stay by my side? Did I force him to do it?! O-or do i need to act that i feel sorry so he reduce the pain he feels?-

''W-what?'' Ino lose her grip on her clothes and slowly looking up to the pink haired girl that still not hesitate for any word that she uttered, make a few step away from her, Ino shoulder drop,

-tell me Ino, if i said i feel sorry to what happened to him, did his problem can solve? will the pain he feels disappeared? like this thing never happened at all? You and him-

-are pathetic, '' Sakura said.

''w-what? ''

''-you only lose your dreams, but you act like the word turn back at you, you only lose something you like but you act like you can't live anymore..''

Sakura smirk.

''-don't blame to me for the things that you choice on your own will, you and him choose to live in sorrow because of something like that, even you can still make a new life you still choice to live in that way,you act it's like the end of the world for both of you, even if is easy for you to forget and start over as if nothing happened at all-

- to feel sorry? don't ask something you didn't even know the true meaning.'' Sakura said in her firm voice.

And Ino can't even believe what she heard, to hear that kind of tone to the pink haired girl,and those word that come from the own mouth of the person she care so much -

She furious now, because she feel so hurt for those word, those words hit and hurt her feeling when she doesn't know why, even the one is wrong is this girl in front of her.

and because of confusion of her own feeling, she can't blame herself to feel furious for this girl,

'''right, she's the one who started it all,but why she acting like she's the one who victim here!'''

and the fact that she's the one who cut the bond between them, but even their bond is not existing anymore Ino still hoping in one thing-

''at least, at least him, Sakura don't turn your back at him'' Ino mind scream out loud one thing but , for hearing those word, her desire turn ash again, because of what the pink haired girl uttered and for Ino at this point she sure now, that their friendship is just ..

a memory of the past.

with contorted with rage, and clenched jaw Ino voice rise ''don't act like your the one who struggling here! after throwing everything, even our dream, your the one who ruin it! but your acting right now as if your the one who victim here! don't play me wit your damn words and your right, we don't know the true meaning of the feeling to be sorry, cause you know what Sakura for the three of us your the most pitiful!''

Ino heart race of pain, so much pain, for saying those word, she willed her hand for stop shaking and turn her back to the girl who only look at her, but when she lift her gaze the guy that she searching is already in front of her.

''Naru-'' Ino immediately look back to the pink haired girl that still looking straight to them with her emotionless face.

'''did he heard it all?'''

''Ne, Naruto-'' the yellow haired guy just ignore her and go straight to the pink haired girl, standing in front to emerald orb who gaze is fixed to the yellow haired guy.

'' Sakura chan?'' Naruto look at her with his despair blue eyes, like he already lose of heart.

'' did you meant it?-

-all of that, did you meant it?''he added.

and with out any sign of hesitation , Sakura said ''yes'' and look at him seriously.

Then the yellow haired guy look down, for a minute he didn't say anything, and Ino even more feel sorry to see him like that.

Naruto is the person who can't hide his true feeling, and for knowing him, right know, at this time, he must be losing his temper or he must be forcing Sakura to take it back what she said but why didn't he even react like he always did, that's make Ino more worried about the strange behavior of his friend

''if you don't have anything to say to me i-'' Sakura stunned make her green eyes wider cause the yellow haired guy suddenly release a soft smirk, then look at her

'' Then-

- let's end everything here.''

Walking passed to the pink haired girl who still looking straight as if her gaze pass through to the body blonde girl that also stunned upon hearing those word to the whisker boy.

When Ino mind snap back, she immediately chase toward to Naruto who already far away.

''Naruto!!'' she called.

Ino start to run, passed to the pink haired girl that still left in her blank gaze, and before getting away from the pink -haired girl. Ino make a quick glance at the girl that still standing

-her blue eyes, wider as if she can't believe what she saw

a tiny drop of water drop in Sakura's cheeks while making a bitter smile.
