My fear

Inojin walked towards the park and saw Sarada playing. His face lightened up and he ran towards her.

"Sarada!"

Their mothers being the bestest friends and rivals. Inojin spend a lot time with Sarada. Sometimes in the hospital when their moms were working and also at home.

"Inojin. Hey." Sarada gave him a smile.
She treated Inojin as her family.

Inojin admired Sarada. She was always better than him or most of kids at every task. She was on the top spot. She had amazing skills, even when it comes to argument. Inojin had a secret admiration for her.

"Ano....Sarada... Do you want to be a ninja?"

Sarada scribbled on the sand with a twig and drew a shuriken.

"Well of course Inojin. My mom's a ninja and she is the coolest and the best person ever. Same goes with your mom doesn't it?"

Inojin smiled. He liked that Sarada always satisfied him with simple answers and always looked after him.

"Does anything scare you Sarada?" Inojin asked suddenly.

Sarada thought for a second and then gave him a grin.

"No. Inojin. Right now I'm not scared of anything, anyone. I don't feel like I have a weak point."

Inojin looked at her and sighed. Well he was scared of many things bit looking at Sarada just made him forget everything, every fear.

They played the whole day until Sakura and Ino were there to pick them.

..

Time passed and both Inojin and Sakura were genins. Since the genin exams, and the choice of teams, Inojin and Sarada still see each other as good friends but there happened to be a spark of rivalry between them.

Inojin became more observing. He was collecting the facts to himself that how much he lack when compared to Sarada. He started being more alert and attentive. He at times was blunt and indifferent to people. Sarada noticed it but she knew he was working hard. And she needs to do the same.

At some point, Inojin took after his mother at arguing and was rude sometimes

Sarada was much introvert kind, and they spend much less time with each other.

One day Sarada went to the Yamanaka flower shop.

"Aunt Ino?" She peeked inside and went in.

"Ah. Sarada?" Ino came out and smiled at her.

Inojin was behind her and he looked at Sarada and ignored her.

Sarada saw this and scoffed and gave a letter to Ino.

"Umm..Mama said you need to look through this. Its some hospital-thingy."

Ino took it and smiled. "Thanks for delivering it Sarada. You are such a nice girl. Isn't she Inojin?"

Inojin scoffed. "Yeah a hell of a nice she is." He muttered under his breath.

"Now, now Inojin?" Sarada folded her arms. She was somehow bothered with his attitude.

"What's with the attitude Inojin? I've been observing you. What's your problem?"

Ino tilted her head totally not getting what was going on. "Eto....guys..?"
