Theme set: Beta
01 - Walking
With an exaggerated sway to her hips, she makes a show of leading the way to the hokage's office
02 - Waltz
Fighting, she thinks, while eying the dark haired genin at the other end of the arena, is really not all that different from dancing
03 - Wishes
She hasn't done it since she was nine, but she's tempted to make do with the shooting star that streaks past her window
04 - Wonder
The look on his face when with a flick of her fan, the snapping of that - whatsherface - sound nin's neck echoes throughout the forest makes up for the sleepless 3 days it took to reach him in time
05 - Worry
Even though its stupid and totally unfair, she personally blames him for her now stubby nails
06 - Whimsy
The first time she kisses him is simply because she was bored and he just happened to be there (At least that's how she likes to rationalize it)
07 - Waste/Wasteland
Suna's her home, its in her blood, and it's an essential part of who she is, but she'll grudgingly every now and then admit that her adoration dulls whenever she thinks of a life without him and the sand that separates them
08 - Whiskey and rum
Waking up to a glaring sun and a drooling Nara is almost worth the killer hangover
09 - War
Peace Treaties don't last forever, they're not written in stone, but she just drowns out Gaara along with his stare
10 - Weddings
She clenches her fists in both rage and embarrassment when one of his teammates sidles up next to her on the street and says in her best saleswoman pitch to, be sure to go along with Yamanaka Family Flowers when you and Shika finally decide to tie the knot, ok
11 - Birthday
Shifting around restlessly in his bed sheets waiting for him, she questions briefly if the fishnet was a mistake and if he'll appreciate getting to unwrap his present
12 - Blessing
She's very confused and more than just a little lost when his sensei gives her this x-ray look before promptly slapping his student on the back while whispering non too subtly, atta boy
13 - Bias
Flushed and tugging at the ends of one of her ponytails she says, Well of course you'd think that pineapple head
14 - Burning
Sitting close and cozy in a booth at Ichiraku, their hands brush, and like a pansy she jerks back; as if burned
15 - Breathing
With deep shallow breaths she concedes that she's underestimated the spiky haired twit, and takes note to keep better watch on that shadow of his
16 - Breaking
She feels useless watching him slice into the bark of a tree with his (rest in peace) sensei's chakra blades; and notes almost dejectedly, that tree isn't the only thing I'm watching fall apart
17 - Belief
Wait, you actually thought that he and I - and then little miss peroxide is holding her stomach (freshly painted nails be damned) and doubling over in laughter hesitantly joined in by a sheepish sand nin
18 - Balloon
Her good mood is instantly deflated when its clear he's not among the group of leaf shinobi visiting Suna
19 - Balcony
Having never entertained the idea of romance before, she's more that just a little surprised to find him standing outside her window with flowers (though she knows enough of the concept to snort lightly at the obvious cliché)
20 - Bane
You're doing what with who, Kankurou howls and breaks into a fit of giggles, and she idly contemplates the best way to go about disemboweling the puppet nin with just her chopsticks
21 - Quiet
When it comes to basic conversation, Shikamaru kind of sucks (he can be so damn mute ….) she doesn't mind though, because she figures she does more than enough of it for the both of them
22 - Quirks
She's not quite sure when the twitch the side of his mouth does when he's fighting rare smiles suddenly became endearing rather than cause to take out her fan
23 - Quarrel
Laughing mockingly she tells him somewhat breathlessly that after he's done storming off that she'll be waiting for him in his bedroom (you know, the place where all our arguments end up at)
24- Question
She winces at the obvious note of desperation in her own voice when she finally gets around to asking him just what he thinks the two of them are
25 - Quitting
Why, her hands fist into the cloth of his mesh shirt, Why'd you go and do a stupid thing like that for
26 - Jump
Her heart skips and hops several beats when he slouches into the hokage's office
27 - Jester
Wide eyed and immobilized by his shadow she thinks, I was actually outsmarted by this slacker clown
28 - Jousting
Not everything's a competition you know, but she just pushes him harder into the grass and attacks his neck with teeth and lips
29 - Jewel
Discretely and behind closed doors, she treasures him like he's something precious
30 - Just
Its only fair, she says, head cocked and scary grin in place as she admires his hands (hands that are tied firmly to the headboard of his bed)
31 - Smirk
She kind of wants to bash his face in - along with that look - when she lets slip, You look (extremely) almost sexy with your hair down, ya know
32 - Sorrow
When Asuma dies, he doesn't leave his house for over a week, and after awhile she begins to run out of excuses to tell her brothers for why she's still in Konoha long after her missions been completed
33 - Stupidity
Tears are streaming down her cheeks as she half yells, half sobs, He's immortal you moron, cant you see that he could kill you and I wont be able to handle that because I -
34 - Serenade
I love you, he says, low and sincere in between breathy moans as she's going down on him, and at the time, too flustered and preoccupied to give it much thought, she cant help but think it sounds like music
35 - Sarcasm
He snorts and with a mock bow mumbles, Anything for you princess
36 - Sordid
When he finally returns to the village he's sporting nasty cuts and the kind of bruises that would usually warrant a good smack to the back of his skull for, being such a fucking moron, but her attentions more drawn to his dagger and the severed head perched high and threatening on top of it
37 - Soliloquy
Damn it lazy bones
38 - Sojourn
Any minute now I'm gonna get up, push these scrawny arms off me, leave this bed, and head on back to Suna like I should have 5 days ago (she doesn't)
39 - Share
And this, his mother says eagerly, pointing to a photo of a 4 year old boy in an album, was during his streaking phase
40 - Solitary
He doesn't go to Asuma's funeral because, I want to be alone, ok, but she follows him up to his roof anyway and listens to the swish and flick of a zippo snapping in the distance
41 - Nowhere
Its doesn't matter where you are, cause eventually Ill find you and save your sorry ass just like always crybaby
42 - Neutral
Well, she (growls) asks, hands on her hips and glaring pointedly over his shoulder at his blonde teammate
43 - Nuance
The differences in his expressions are annoyingly subtle, and she cant read him at all, but maybe she thinks, maybe that's part of what draws me to him
44 - Near
Spent, sweaty, and head resting against his bare chest, she feels mortified when she recalls admitting to him in the night before that she crosses out the days on her calendar leading up to her next visit
45 - Natural
With a perplexed look he answers, And just how am I supposed to know if Ino's a natural blonde or not
46 - Horizon
He's pressing her up against the outside wall of Ichiraku, and after a frantic stream of, what if someone comes, what if someone sees, shit… their eyes meet, and with a shudder she realizes he looks at her with the same intensity he does the clouds
47 - Valiant
Oh yeah, she snaps, eyes blazing, lips twisted into a scowl, you're a real prince, a fucking knight in shining armor, I didn't need your help
48 - Virtuous
Chauvinist pig, but its filled with adoration as she walks over the chuunin vest he had placed down on top of the puddle
49 - Victory
Checkmate, he says, and with an odd sort of clarity she knows that he's not talking about shougi
50 - Defeat
Standing in the arena surrounded by a thousand, roaring spectators as their arms lift together in the air, she cant help but feel a little nervous and think that maybe this skinny leaf nin twit just might be the beginning of her end
