"You can start today." The manager of the Yamanaka flower shop told Ishi. "Great!" Ishi went behind a counter and waited for someone to come buy flowers. "Maybe I should pick some up for Talim..."

Sakura walked into the flower shop, wondering if she was going to find Ino there today. She wanted some flowers to put in her room's moribana, since the old ones had wilted and she had to throw them away. Her mother's room could use some as well...
She noticed Ino wasn't there and she didn't know the girl at the counter at all. She was going to pick the flowers by herself anyway, but it would have been nice if she could talk to her old friend while doing it.
"Konnichiwa," Sakura said politely, nodding her head.
Then, she turned to look at a couple of white chrysanthemums. They were pretty, but she kept looking...

"Konnichiwa," Ishi said, bowing her head back. She didn't know hte girl and wanted to meet her. "What's your name? I'm Ishi Zaraki." Ishi watched the girl. "Do you need help?"

Sakura turned away from the flowers and looked at the girl, smiling slightly.
"I'm Haruno Sakura," she said.
She took her finger to her chin, thoughtfully, still undecided on what to pick.
"I was looking for some flowers to put in my room," she explained.

"Maybe you could try some lilies or daffodils," Ihi said thoughtfully, "They would go nice on a windowsill or something like that."

"Those are both good suggestions," Sakura agreed, still with a small smile.
Then, just as she was deciding for the daffodils Ishi had suggested, her eyes fell on something else. It had been long since she had had something that special or different in her room...
"But I think I'll take one of those orchids," she said, gently picking up one of the flowers and heading to the counter with it.
She had spotted the price on a tag, so she pulled out the money from her pocket and handed it to Ishi. She wondered...
"So are you new here?" she asked curiously, though continuing to be nice.

"Yes, I just moved to Konoha." Ishi answered, taking the money from Sakura. "I don't know many people here, so itwas nice meeting you." Ishi thought about how she had met Sasuke the other day...

"Oh, were you looking for Ino?"

Sakura was a little surprised by the question, but she nodded, holding the flower gently up to her chest.
"Yes, it would be nice if you knew where she is," she replied.
She hoped nothing had happened to Ino. But she didn't think anything had. She was probably just off on a longer mission, or they simply hadn't run into each other at all.
She could still check and make sure, though.

((K, thanks!)) "Actually, Ino left after showing me what to do here. I'm sorry. I don't know where she was headed..." Ishi didn't want to lie to Sakura, so she tried to think of where Ino could've went. "Hey, I'm sorry to waste your time, but do you happen to know a blonde haired boy who likes ramen?"

"Oh, I see... Thank you anyways."
Sakura smile pleasantly and waved a little, getting ready to leave, but she stopped when she was suddenly asked the other question. Her hand was slowly lowered again as she mostly forgot about it.
"You mean Naruto?" she asked, a little confused. Everyone seemed to know him some way... That made her smile broaden fondly. "Yes, he's my team mate. Why?"

"Well, I met him at the ramen shop, and I wanted to get to know him, so before we even spoke, I payed for his ramen.." Ishi laughed a little. She didn't know why. She could've just talked to him. "And, so you remember... Sasuke?" Ishi asked this very softly, because of what SAsuke said with Sakura...

Sakura giggled a little with Ishi as well. Yes, Naruto could have that effect on people. No matter what he was up to, they usually liked him. He was sort of magnetic, in a way.
She was getting ready to give a cheerful reply, when...
Sakura flinched. Here wasn't a single day when she didn't stop for a moment to think of Sasuke...
Every trace of happiness faded from her face and she looked down, at the counter in front of Ishi, with half glazed eyes.
"I didn't know... you knew Sasuke..." she said, trying her best to sound calm, when the very mention of him actually still hurt.
