Sasuke and a daisy hat?!!?!?

[Yamanaka Ino]

The door chimed once more. Ino said "Welcome to the Yamanaka flower Shop! My name is Yamanaka Ino! Just call out to me if you need any help!!!" She looked up at once. Her jaw dropped. *SASUKE!!! FIRST SHIKA, THEN NEJI, NOW SASUKE?!?!* she thought. She closed her mouth and smiled sweetly. "Sasuke-kun! What can I do for you today?"she said professionally.

[Uchiha Sasuke]

Sasuke looked at Ino. He knew perfectly well what he came for. Now all he had to do is buy it.

"Just a bouquet of roses, nothing else Ino." He said cooly. Normally he wouldn't be caught dead with roses, but today was different.

[Yamanaka Ino]

Ino's face lightened up with excitement. "Ok Sasuke-kun! Remember- Yellow=Friends, Red=Love, and Yellow with a red dot=More than friends!!!" Ino did a fangirl scream in her mind. *Who is sasuke buying them for?! I WISH it were me but he's to cool to admit he likes me.*Ino thought

[Uchiha Sasuke]

Sasuke just watched Ino jump up and down excited. She probably thinks there for her. Again. "Yes, Ino-chan, I was perfectly aware red means love. I still need the roses. Today, please?"

Just for today....

[Yamanaka Ino]

Ino stopped jumping in her fantasy. "Oops! Sorry Sasuke-kun! Right this way! I'll let you pick them out!" She guided Sasuke to the roses. Well, more or less DRAGGED him to the roses. "Here you are Sasuke! I'm sure she'll love them!!" She just envisioned herself receiving a bouquet of beautiful flowers from Sasuke. She couldn't help but smile.

[Uchiha Sasuke]

Sasuke sighed. At least Ino was happy today. He could tell. Why else would she drag him across the store for roses?

He looked at all of them. He pointed to nice looking group. "Those bunch would be good." He said, reaching into his pocket for money.

"How much?"

[Yamanaka Ino]

Ino smiled brightly. "For you, 50 ryou!". Usually a bouquet of roses costed more but she would do ANYTHING to help out Sasuke. Ino smiled as she took the flowers out of the Yamanaka Flower Shop vase and put them in a smaller glass vase for him to take with him. "S-So, who's the lucky girl, may I ask?" Ino said very sweetly. She just envisioned him saying 'You'll see' and then slipping them oh her desk when she went to the back to wake up Shikamaru. She thought about that for a minute. She really didn't care so she just gave Sasuke the roses and the free Daisy hat. She had been distributing daisy hats to random people and decided that Sasuke would be the perfect person to give one to.

[Uchiha Sasuke]

Sasuke payed and looked at Ino, not smiling, but, if anything, a little sad.

"You'll see." He said, his face switching back to emotionless. "Thanks for the hat." He said, taking the bouquet, turned and left the store. The hat laid forgotten on the counter. He opened the door to leave.

You'll see.....

[Yamanaka Ino]

Ino knew he didn't mean 'You'll see' in a good way. He had forgotten and or totally abandoned the hat so she just put it back on her pile. She then thought for a minute. She walked to the doorway to watch Sasuke. She saw him walking away. She could tell that it was not for just any girl that he liked. He carried the roses.*Ok, Sasuke. I will wait and see.*she thought. She then went back to her desk and read the rest of her magazine.

[Uchiha Sasuke]

*Later that day*

The wind blew softly, sending leaves down into the graves. Sasuke stood above them, face still emotionless. He set all but one of the roses on them. His voice was quiet.

"If only I was stronger, I could have protected you."

He turned from his parents graves, pocketing the rose for later. The wind died down, as he vanished on the horizon.
