A/N: I am one of the worst people at keeping some sort of upload schedule but I am hoping to put out a new chapter of this every few days. I am also probably going to change into first person text after this chapter as it's easier for me to write in. I just think it will be better for me to write from Ino's perspective. I haven't wrote a story in years so I hope this will go well and be good so if you could please leave a review, and I hope you enjoy!
A gasp. That's what awoke her at 4:37am. Ino had been struggling to sleep for the last few days and tonight was finally one of the times she managed to get a solid few hours in. However, like the few nights before, the same exact nightmare happened again. Ino wasn't exactly sure why she was having it, and what it was about. All she did know was that it terrified her to her very core, and instantly prevented sleep from the rest of the night.
It's times like these where Ino wishes more than anything, that she could turn over and cling on to her lovers arm, being surrounded in their comfort and warmth. However, Ino couldn't do that. Ino had recently separated from Kiba; well separated is a nice term for it. He basically dumped her, and in his words, "Wasn't giving him enough attention". This had caught Ino off guard, because all she had done was shower Kiba with affection. So she had no idea what he was on about. But she had been nothing but devastated since Kiba left her, and she now was coming to the conclusion that this recurring nightmare was because of him leaving her.
Ino decided to pick up her mobile and call her closest friend. Listening to the dial tone on the other end of the phone, she waited patiently for the recipient to pick up. "Ugh...Ino? Its nearly 5 in the morning..what's going on?" Sakura answered, very groggily and clearly not happy to have been woken up. "Sorry Sakura to wake you up, but I had no one else to talk to...I had the nightmare again.."Ino said, bringing her knees up to her chest, holding herself in an almost ball shape.
"Oh..shit. Again? I wonder what's causing it...Are you okay?" Sakura remembered Ino telling her about this mysterious nightmare at work, and how it had done but plague Ino this past few weeks. "I'll be okay, woke me up though. I was thinking.. this nightmare has only been occurring since mine and Kibas... breakup. Maybe that's the cause? Or maybe I'm just being dumb.." Ino said, whispering the end so hopefully Sakura wouldn't hear. "Oh Ino..It must be hard.. I know how much you loved Kiba..It would kill me if me and Sasuke ever broke up..Hey, I have an idea which might help you past these nightmares! How about tonight, I take you to that new club in the city, and we shall see if we can find you a new hunk!" Sakura was always excited about dancing and drinking. I'm pretty sure it's one of her favourite hobbies.
"Oh I'm not sure that's a good idea..I mean, I'm not even over Kiba yet..we were together for such a long time, and part of me still loves him" said Ino, not 100% sure that it would be a great idea. "Oh come on Ino! I'm not talking about finding a relationship! I'm just talking about finding a guy to help that initial breakup.. just find a guy to get under, if you get what I mean! Oh come on, it will be fun and even if you don't find someone, we can still have a great time! We can get a few people together and make a real night out of it" Sakura pleaded, really believing it would be a great idea to get Ino out.
"You won't take no for an answer will you? Fine, I'll see you outside the Bank bar club at 10 tonight?"Ino said, just wanting to try and get a few more hours sleep. "Yes! I'll ask a few of the other girls, and I'll even drag Sasuke with us! Ah, this is gonna be great! See ya later Ino!" And suddenly the phone line goes dead. Ino just stares at the screen, before placing the phone back on the bedside cabinet. Sighing, she falls back into the bed, just residing herself to the fact that she had no choice but to brave it tonight and go out, possibly with the chance of meeting someone new.
"Well, I don't think sleep is possible at this point so I should probably get up and get ready for the day"Ino says, sliding out of her warm lavender bed sheets, standing up on her mahogany wood flooring making sure to stretch her arms behind her back, and up and over her head. Walking to the bathroom, Ino proceeds to strip herself of the oversized shirt she uses as pyjamas, throwing it gracefully into her wash basket. Ino didn't live with anyone else anymore since Kiba moved out so walking around naked was something she could do without fear of bumping into anyone else. Sliding gracefully into the white bathroom, Ino stops in front of her full length mirror, allowing herself a moment to take in the view in front of her.
Her waist length soft blonde hair was tickling her sides in beautiful loose waves, just gently touching her rounded hips. Her stomach was flat and slightly toned, due to her gym routine. She has huge blue eyes, with long black lashes making her eyes the main focus on her face. Between the eyes, was a slim and skinny nose , and her mouth formed into a baby pink pout with full lips. Her breasts were full, soft and hung lightly from her chest. Ino was lucky that she had been blessed with these proportions and she knew that many would kill to have them. Ino didn't consider herself unattractive, not in the least.. in fact she considered herself one of the finest things to walk this earth, but that kind of confidence didn't come without some problems. She had worked on her appearance for so many years, after the constant taunting in school and she vowed to never let anyone make her feel so low about herself ever again. The confidence had grown over years of hard work and she was only recently in a good place about how she felt about herself.
Allowing herself a quick shower, she thoroughly washed her hair and body, deciding that if she were to get lucky tonight that she better remove any hair from unwanted places whilst she was in the shower. Turning the shower off and wrapping a towel around her still soaked body, she decided to leave her hair to air dry somewhat, just quickly running a brush through it to prevent any knots. Padding down to the kitchen, Ino whips up herself a egg, with bacon and a side of toast, and a glass of ice cold orange juice. Flipping through a magazine that had been left on the kitchen counter, she wolfs down her breakfast before heading back upstairs, ditching her towel at the wash basket.
It was Ino's day off from work today, so she decided to go to town and find herself a nice new dress for the evenings events. Putting on her most expensive and lacy violet underwear, she takes a look at herself in the mirror. The lacy cups of the bra hugged her boobs just right, pushing them up and creating an even bigger cleavage, whereas the barely there thong wrapped deliciously around her curvaceous hips, allowing her big ass to basically hide the back string all together. She sits down at her dressing table, and starts to apply her makeup. She doesn't tend to wear it during the week because she's working so she decides to give herself a casual daytime makeup that she can just change later when she gets ready. For her hair, she pulls it all up into a giant bun, deciding that she'll curl it later before she goes out. With both her hair and makeup done for now, Ino stands up only to stop in front of her huge wardrobe. Ino had to admit, she really really liked clothes, and just didn't have the heart to throw anything out. She pulls out a long and flowy maxi dress, a similar colour to her underwear and even decides to throw on some nice silvery flower sandals. The weather has been nice and warm recently so Ino decides to forgo a jacket. Picking up her phone and house keys, both of which she puts into her handbag, she hurries out the door to her car, beginning her drive to town.
Its sometime later before Ino actually manages to return home. It had been a struggle not to buy everything she saw that she had liked but lucky she had come back home with only 2 shopping bags which honestly was pretty good for her. Settling her handbag on the kitchen counter, she takes both shopping bags upstairs to her room, placing them on her bed. She decides to open the black bag up first which contained her new dress for this evening. It was a lovely floor length chiffon material dress with an A line cut which hung lightly off her shoulders. And it happened to be in Ino's favourite and signature colour; purple. On each shoulder piece, was a singular rose making the dress even more feminine. There was no way she couldn't wear it tonight. Putting on her bed, she opens up the other shopping bag which is a hot pink. She pulls out a pair of new strappy high heels. They are black fabric wedges with a couple of ankle straps. Also in the bag was a pair of black thigh high stockings which she also couldn't wait to wear. She knew that she probably wasn't going to sleep with anyone tonight, but it was the first time she had been out since the break up, so why not dress up a little.
After eating a light dinner of pasta with a side salad, Ino decides its time to get ready. Slipping off the maxi dress and sandals, Ino moves back over to her underwear drawer to pick out her garter belt which matches her underwear and puts it on. After that, she slips her stockings up her dainty legs and clips them into the garter belt. Once she's all set, Ino decides that she better do her makeup and hair before she puts on her dress. Loosing her hair from the bun, she proceeds to pull out her curling wand and begins to give her hair those loose waves that its used to. She then touches up her makeup from this morning and also adds to it, giving her eyelids a pop of purple eye shadow to match her dress. Once both of these are completed, Ino sprays herself with her best perfume; Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream, and slips on her dress. Luckily she had tried it on at the store, so she knew it fits her like a glove and the shoes really added that great final touch to the whole look. Looking at the time, Ino began cursing herself. It was already somehow half 9, and it would take roughly half an hour to get to the club by taxi; she was in no way gonna drive tonight, she was planning on getting slightly drunk.
Suddenly her phone started to buzz madly from an incoming call. Ino checks the caller ID and sees that it's Sakura. "Hey girl, what's up?" Ino answers, fiddling to put on her silver necklace whilst still holding the phone to her ear. "Hey! You ready? Cause me and Sasuke are on our way to the club and we thought we could pick you up if you were ready?"Sakura asked, as Ino could hear the sounds of someone driving in the background. "Oh you actually managed to convince Sasuke to go then?" Ino teased. She knew that when it came to Sakura, Sasuke would do almost anything for her. She heard his signature 'Hn' in the background and she couldn't help but giggle. "Yeah somehow, he insisted on driving so it means I get to drink with you. So are you ready?" Sakura asked again. "Yeah, I'm ready.. I'll wait for you guys outside mine" Ino replied already making her way downstairs. "We will literally be about a minute or 2 so don't be long!" Sakura managed to say before putting the phone down. Ino decided to move her wallet, her phone and her house keys into a clutch bag rather than dragging out her huge handbag. She double locked her front door and waited for Sakura and Sasuke to pull up.
When they did arrive, Ino hopped quickly in the car and they began the drive to the club. Sakura and Ino gossiped pretty much the entire drive, whilst Sasuke drove in silence. He really didn't wanna get involved in their gossiping. God, he couldn't wait to be around the other guys. Eventually they arrived, parked up and headed inside the club. Their first decision was to find the rest of their group. Glancing around the huge room, eventually Ino spotted the signature bright blonde hair of one of their friends, and she ushered Sasuke and Sakura over to them.
"Ino!" The bright blonde friend shouted when they got within view. He proceeded to run up and grab Ino into a tight hug. "Naruto! I've missed you! Where's Hinata?" Ino said, squeezing Naruto back. "Oh, she's there at the bar! She's up there with Shikamaru and Temari. Lee and Tenten said that they couldn't make it, and I think Choji is with..Kiba" Naruto said, pulling back from the hug, and scratching his head. She frowned slightly. Choji was supposed to be one of her best friends, yet he's with him? Shaking off the feeling of sadness, Ino excuses herself from the conversation with Naruto and heads to the bar to order herself the strongest drink she can. "Double vodka and Red bull please" Ino asks the bartender, him quickly going off to make the drink.
"Sounds like someone is drinking to forget" A silky soft voice says from next to her at the bar. Ino turns her head about to tell the guy to mind his own business but she finds herself unable to speak at all. Her bright blue eyes meet with severe charcoal coloured ones which contrast severely against his milky white skin. His face is very handsome and defined, and his body is slim, and very clearly toned from the way his shirt clings to his torso. His legs are covered in skinny fit black jeans and his shoes are a basic black converse. His hair is semi long, deep black and lightly hanging around his face and nearly over his eyes. His eyes just stare straight into my soul, and it sets off something in me that I haven't felt in a long time. "I wouldn't say I'm drinking to forget, more like just temporarily remove" Ino says, giggling before taking a big gulp from her alcoholic drink. "I see... well what does someone as beautiful as you need to forget?" The stranger asks, lifting his drink to his soft looking lips and taking a long sip of his beer.
"His name is Kiba" Ino says with a slight venom in her voice. She really was still in the hurting stage, and didn't particularly feel great about saying his name or remembering him at all. "Well it sounds to me like this Kiba guy is a complete and utter moron. I wouldn't think twice if I had a girl like you" The stranger replied, making Ino's cheeks light up bright red from his comment. "Ah well thank you. I didn't catch your name? Mines Ino" She says, offering out her hand for a shake. He takes her hand in his before twisting it so he could place a gentle kiss to the the top of her hand. "My name is Sai, and don't worry, I'll make sure it's the only thing you'll remember by the end of the night".
