Ino was saddened today. She did not quite know why but she was just depressed. She decided to take a walk around the neighborhood. She left her home. She walked farther and farther away until she could no longer see it. She walked at a slow pace, the wind gently rushing through her golden hair. Her steps were not quick, or brisk, or fast-paced. With every step she took, it seemed to get darker and darker in her mind. Not one butterfly, not one flower, not one glimmer of sunlight helped ease her inner pain. Her usually peppy spirit seemed to be drenched in shadow. No light reached her face.
She continued on her journey, not knowing where she was going or why but just walking. Walking in one direction. Her amble kept it's slow, solemn pace. 'Click, click, click, click...' her heals made their way on the frosted ground. With exception of the occasional crunch of stepping on a newly fallen leaf, her dreary surrounding did not change.
*Oh Ino. Snap out of it Ino-chan. Please snap out of it." she thought weakly to herself. She then replied in her mind *But how am I to snap out of it if I don't know what's wrong?*

Tenten sighed as she walked, pulling her jacket tighter around herself. It was getting colder. Everyone seemed to be inside, by their nice warm fires, or in bed wrapped in blankets. Why did everyone hate the colder weather. It was nice. Quiet. Good time to think.
The street was was silent, and it was a comforting, except for the distant, echoing sound of footsteps. She stopped to listen. As her feet were still, someone else still moved. She saw a blonde girl walk around the coner.
"Ino?" She questioned. She walked forward to meet her. She saw it was indeed the Sophmore from school. "Hey Ino." She greeted, keeping her voice low in the still quiet street.

Ino sensed a presence among her. She did not turn at first but continued walking on this lonely evening. She then heard a familiar voice interrupt her perfect silence. It was that Tenten girl that she was so jealous of. She did not care at the moment. She said in an emotionless tone, "Good evening Tenten." She continued walking. She did not care for company tonight. She just wanted to feel the sting of the cold on her arms and legs. She wanted to hear the silence that once was before the Junior girl showed up in her midst. She wanted that feeling of complete, utter, solitude!
Would she get it? Most likely not. On the one day of her entire life that she wanted to sense the feeling of solitude, she had company. Usually, Ino would welcome the company. Tonight, however, she only wanted the company of the occasional shadow that walked beside her. The sounds of her footsteps was enough of a conversation. The seriousness and grimness in her eyes could chill the bones of the grim reaper himself. What was wrong with her?

Tenten stopped, tilting her head to the side a little bit. She had a small frown. Good Evening? That was not like the loud, gossipy girl from the Flower shop. That was some formal chick that had totally replaced Ino. She slipped her hand out of her pocket, which happened to be gloved. She scratched the back of her head confused as Ino started to walk away again.
"Um, are you ok?" She asked, running to catch up. "You dont seem it..." Her voice got quieter when she added the last part.
[[Sorry it's short >< I cant think of anything]]

Ino stoped. She sighed. *Why does she care? I don't even know what's wrong....* Ino thought. She looked at Tenten with heavy eyes. They were now gray-blue from tears that welled up inside of her. With her tear-filled eyes, Ino solemnly said, "I don't know what's wrong. Just go along with you walk Tenten."
She glanced up at a star. It was so distant, yet so close. Her eyes shone in the dim light of the autumn moon. The shimmer of the stars on the horizon filled her heart with a joy-less scream. *Someone, help me...* she thought

Just go along with her walk? How was she supposed to do that? Even in the night sky, thanks to the bright moon and stars, she could see Ino's eyes water. Tenten didn't know what to do. But whatever it was, it wasn't just leaving her there to suffer.
At first, she gave a worried look. Confused look. But then she crossed her arms. "Ino," She said. "I don't know what's going on or what you're not telling me, but I am not going to leave you here." She walked up to her and took her arm, giving her a smile. "I'll help you figure it out." She said quietly again before dragging the blonde towards a set of stairs.
Tenten took off her coat and laid it onto the steps and put her hands onto Ino's shoulders, making her sit. She sat down next to her. A few minutes past in silence before she was able to think of anything to ask. "Is there anything you aren't telling me?"

Before she could think about what was wrong, Tenten had pulled Ino to a set of stairs and basically forced her to sit down. She listened to Tenten. "Is there something you're not telling me?" is what the girl had asked her. Ino thought deep into her mind. As Sasuke had been doing allot lately, she had to have a conversation with herself. She thought deep, deep into her subconscious mind.
What's wrong with me? Why am I so upset?
If you don't know, how do you expect me to know?
I'm just me. You're the smart inner me that knows everything about me. Please just tell me what's wrong. I hate being so depressed.
Well, I could tell you....
Please?! Just tell me!
Well... You are jealous and hurt
Why?! Of who?
Of Tenten because Sasuke likes her.
Sasuke doesn't like her...
Yes he does and you know it!
Well, maybe I AM a tiny bet jealous of her but I can't tell her! She IS actually decently nice to me...
That's your problem, not mine.
But you ARE me.
Too bad.
Fine! Freeloader!
The conversation ended
Ino HAD to say something. She just looked off into the moonlight and said in a hushed tone, "I'm just a little jealous of someone..."

"I'm just a little jealous of someone..." Ino had said.
Jealous? Tenten echoed in her head. She didn't think Ino would have anyone to be jealous of. As far as she knew-which wasn't much actually-Ino had a pretty good life. At least comparing to some people of Konoha.
"Can you tell me who or why you're jealous of that person?" She asked, trying to figure out whats going on.

Ino had another conversation with Inner Ino.
So, back again are we?
Haha, you are so funny...
So, what now?
You know! You're me!
Oh...you don't know what to say
.... duh
Ok... Why don't you tell her that it's a girl or something random and vague?
Vague sounds good.
Of course it does.
How about I say "Its another girl."
That works.
Thanks! I would hug you if you weren't me!
Freak.
The conversation ended.
She still looked off into the distance but said, "Its another girl..." as her eyes filled with tears.

Another girl....think Tenten, She was still looking at Ino, but Ino wasn't looking at her. They didn't really face any light, but she thought she saw her eyes water again. Dang it stunk to feel so helpless. Tenten didn't really see a lot of people cry...let alone about feelings. She really didn't know what to do. She just put her hand onto Ino's shoulder and tried to smile. "So, this other girl, why are you a little Jealous? What did she do?" [[Sorry it's so short. >< I cant think of anything still ]]

Ino didn't bother talking to her inner self this time. She had had enough of her own sass. She was starting to scare herself a bit with how much she was talking to herself. She just looked at Tenten. This was the first time she looked at her the whole time she was there. She felt kind of bad saying this but she came out and said, "Well, the boy that I like likes her...". Ino closed her eyes. She just looked back into the full moon above them. Tenten was older than her, obviously smarter than her because of the age and grade difference, Ino really couldn't compete with her. The only advantage Ino thought that she had over her was her looks but Sasuke didn't really seem to care about looks. Ino had told so many people that she was over Sasuke but she would never really get over him. *Why does he have to be so cool?* Ino thought to herself as she felt a tear run down her cheek.

Tenten watched as finally Ino made. She had looked at her, which was a good thing. But she looked away fairly quickly. She wished she knew how to do this. Or maybe have some other girl to help her out. Maybe Sakura? Or Hinata? She didn't know, or care. She just wished she knew what to do.
As Ino explained further, with little detail, Tenten saw tears start to fall from Ino's eyes. Oh god no... She wanted to help. She really did. But tears weren't a good sign. She leaned up and got a tissue out of her pocket, then handed it to Ino. "Er..." She was running out of things to ask. "Have you...told her about how....you feel?"
Oh please. Someone stop her. She started to sound like some sort of Mental Doctor. That's just great. Tenten mentally slapped herself and wished now she could had taken that back.

Ino took the tissue that was offered to her with a gentile grasp. She thanked Tenten with a slight bow of her head as she wiped away her tears.
What the hell is your issue?! Why are you going into detail and why the hell are you crying?! Her inner self yelled at her.
Ino just toughened up a bit. 'telling her how you feel?!!?!'
"No, I haven't told the girl how I feel. I'm just going to let it go. I have no chance with him now that he likes her. She's older than me and him. That's one point for her. She doesn't focus on look. Thats another point because he doesn't care about looks. I'm just going to try to let him go..."
Ino couldn't believe that she had spilled so much. Inner Ino basically slapped her.

Tenten nodded back as she let Ino wipe away her tears. She listened patiently as she explained.
"No, I haven't told the girl how I feel. I'm just going to let it go. I have no chance with him now that he likes her. She's older than me and him. That's one point for her. She doesn't focus on look. Thats another point because he doesn't care about looks. I'm just going to try to let him go..."
Wow. Now Tenten really didn't know what to say. It had surprised her more than when Ino had shed tears. What am I going to say? She was freaking out inside, but tried to keep on a comforting smile. "Well..." She began. "Do you know if this girl likes him back? Maybe, if she didn't, you wouldn't have a reason to worry."

Ino looked at Tenten. She more like GLARED at her with tear-stained blue eyes. She then whispered the words "Sasuke..." under her breath.
She internally slapped herself. BAD MOVE!! BAD BAD MOVE!!! TENTEN WILL SURELY KNOW THAT SASUKE LIKES HER!! she shrugged.
Maybe it's for the better
