Sakura sighed. It had been a hard ay. Tsunade had worked her hard, and Sakura's chakra was near depleted. Sakura ran a hand over her arms to wash off the dirt that had embedded itself in her skin. As she cleaned herself, she heard a door open and close somewhere.

"Hey, Sakura, you in here?" It was Ino.

"Hey, Ino! Over here!" Ino appeared out of the steam, wearing her usual purple outfit.

"I see you're already relaxed." Ino said, stripping out of her clothes. Sakura, for reasons unknown, watched Ino's supple chest bounce as Ino pull her top off. Sakura felt her face heat up, though she wouldn't have been able to know whether or not it was because of the heat or embarrassment. Ino slid her skirt and purple and white panties off and slid into the bath. Ino sighed.

"Man, too bad Tsunade's training couldn't just be this all day, eh, Sakura?" Sakura snapped out of her tranc-like mood and nodded.

"Yeah." Both girls sighed, and Ino closed her eyes and let her head rest against the edge of the bath. Sakura found herself wondering what Ino was like when she was alone.

Gah, don't say that!

Sakura, you perve, are you bi or something?!

Sakura blushed again.

I dunno what's going on.

In the time Sakura took to talk with her inner-self, Ino had waded over to Sakura and stood over her pink-haired friend, arms folded over her chest.

"Hey, Billboard. You awake in there, or you just dumb?" Sakura looked up.

"Oh, sorry, Ino. I'm just thinking." Ino and Sakura looked at each other for a few minutes before Ino sighed and lowered herslef back into the water.

"Hey...Sakura?"

"Hm?" Ino was silent for a second.

"What what you do if, say, Hinata told you that she was in love with you?" Sakura turned to look at Ino, who was staring back.

"I...I dunno." Ino bit her lip.

"Um..." Sakura's mind went blank, and before she knew it, Sakura was being kissed on the mouth by Ino. Sakura didn't move. The scent of sweet roses filled her nostrils. Ino pulled away, and Sakura and Ino stared at each other.

"Ino...are you..." Ino didn't say anything.

"Ino..." Sakura wrapped her arms around her friend. Ino let her.

"I thought you would kill me or something..." Ino muttured, sounding mortified. Sakura smiled.

"No...To be honest, I felt a little...ok with it, I guess." Sakura let her friend go. Ino and Sakura sat in the water, staring at each other. Ino slid closer, and Sakura felt Ino's hands making their way behind Sakura.

"Ino...No, I can't..." Ino continued, grasping Sakura's behind firmly. Sakura felt cold chills erupt all over her body. Ino ran her hands along the curves of Sakura's body, Sakura stunned. Ino nipped at Sakura's ear.

"Sakura..." Ino's hand ound its way between Sakura, and it began to tease Sakura's clit. Sakura gasped softly as Ino continued.

"Ino...Oh, Ino..." Sakura let herself go limp against the side of the bath as Ino continued to pleasure Sakura, plantng small, delicate kisses along Sakura's body, pausing every once in a while to lick Sakura's nipple or give Sakura a kiss, sliding her tongue past Sakura's lips. Sakura felt an orgasm coming closer with every stroke of Ino's hand.

"Ino...I'm gonna...Ah..." Sakura shook for a few seconds, orgasming as Sakura came. Ino stopped pleasing Sakura, and leaned her body against Sakura's. Sakura was breathing heavily.

"Sakura..." Ino muttered, and she fell asleep. Sakura stared at Ino, and then wrapped her arms around her.

"I love you Ino..."
