Mira: Heya, it's been a LONG long time since I last wrote a naruto fic(let alone any fic), so I decided, "hey why not do a drabble challenge?" since I want to get back in the swing of things. Hopefully you guys enjoy how my writing style has change for the better, because I know my grammar has definitely improved with age. So here I am, writing some more itaino for any of you guys that enjoy that.

Important: These will not be in chronological order of events, just little snapshots of Itachi and Ino's relationship. Also writing these stories as if literally none of the events in Naruto ever happened, so keep in mind everyone is alive, characters may seem ever so slightly out of character, events may go differently, and relationships may be different. I'm forming the characters how I would imagine they would act without all these personality defining events happening(ex. Sasuke and Itachi's relationship assuming he never wiped out their whole clan, how Itachi's personality would differ if he hadn't killed his clan)

Prompts taken from chatterboxrose on tumblr, will post link on my profile.

Without further ado, here's the first prompt

1. First Impression

Mother's day was a busy day in the flower shop. Ino had spent all day with her father in the shop grabbing people's bouquet orders from the back room and the night before making said bouquets with her father. Her father trusted her with watching the shop the next day while he had to be at the Interrogation office. Even though she was only 6, she knew how to count money and make the most 'beautiful-ist' bouquet you'd ever seen. Although she was by herself mainly because Inoichi had figured there wouldn't be much business today.

Ino was shook to full attention when the bell on the door jingled, alerting her to incoming customers. She beamed when she saw it was her beloved Sasuke-kun that opened the door.

With her eyes scrunched shut and the biggest smile she could flash on her face, she began to greet him.

"Welcome Sasuke-kun! What brings you-" she paused when she opened her eyes and saw a taller boy who Sasuke was now standing behind, he looked just like Sasuke but… dare she think it… cuter? She had never seen him before but she knew who it was, Itachi Uchiha.

"Good afternoon. I'm Itachi, Sasuke's older brother."

She couldn't believe he was standing in front of her, he was a legend, he was only 10 and he had been promoted to chunin just a few months ago. Her heart fluttered as he introduced himself to her. She was almost so entranced by the older boy that she nearly forgot to answer him.

"G-good afternoon, Itachi-kun… er Uchiha-san!" She mentally smacked herself for calling him so informally. "My name's Ino Yamanaka, and this is my dad's flower shop."

She was proud of her introduction, Itachi just grinned at her. She felt her cheeks heat up at the simple gesture and decided she'd better talk to distract him the brothers from noticing her now red stained cheeks.

"So, Sasuke-kun what can I help you guys out with today?" She tried her best to sound formal and cool in front of Itachi.

"We're here to get flowers for our mother, she is returning from a mission tonight so Sasuke and I wanted to surprise her, right Sasuke?" Itachi answered and Sasuke nodded, too shy to speak.

"We don't have any pre-arranged bouquets left, but I can throw one together just for you!" Ino tried to respond nonchalantly, but she was eager to impress the elder Uchiha with her bouquet making skills.

"I'm sure it will be beautiful, right Sasuke?" Itachi replied, grinning at her once again.

"Just give me a minute and I'll have the perfect one for you!" She rushed to the back as she felt her heart melting, out of eye from the brothers, she took a deep breath.

She was already fantasizing about her bouquet for the day she told Itachi 'I do'.
