[Ino's scream is muffled behind the pillow. Thank God it's soft and Sakura isn't putting her full power into it because with Sakura's elephant strength, she could have very easily broken Ino's (self proclaimed) perfect face. That was a loss that Konoha just couldn't take.
She manages to rip the pillow off of her face, taking a deep breath. Delicious, sweet air. Ino sobers up at Sakura's news, wondering the appropriate way to react.
On one hand, they are ninja. They see people die every day. Ino, maybe even more so than others. She had lost her Sensei and her father; she is no stranger to death. It would be very easy for her to say, "You chose this life, deal with it", because it's the hard truth.
On the other hand, Sakura is usually in the business of healing, rather than outright murdering. She is also a perfectionist and a bleeding heart, which makes losing a patient even harder. Ino knows that no matter what she says, Sakura will believe that it was her fault. She wouldn't want Ino's pity, either.]
