Chapter one-Christmas thief.
Ino loved this time of year. And this time of year was Christmas.
But this morning was going to be the worst one yet.
"Stop! Thief! He stole everything!" A woman shouted.
Ino turned around to see a tall man in black heading right to her. But what was he carrying?
Ino readied herself to stop him but as he was right there in front of her, he grinned and vanished.
"What the-"
"Shit!" Shouted a voice. "Kiba." Ino said looking ahead at the worn out classmate of hers.
"How did he get away?!" Kiba shouted.
"What did he steal?" Ino asked.
Before Kiba could answer Sakura and Lee appeared.
"Lady Tsunade needs us." Sakura said.
"Fine." Ino snared at her "friend" from so long ago.
Ino and Sakura never got along but they have made their minds up after Sasuke tried to kill everyone in the village.
"How long till she retires?" Ino asked.
"Kakashi is on a mission and Naruto has enough on his mind with him and Hinata dating." Sakura said.
Kiba sighed. "Please no cat fighting!" He said.
They reached Tsunade's office and boy she was pissed.
"How could you let them get away?!" She asked angrily. "What do you mean? I just got up this morning and-"
"Not you Ino. I was talking to Sakura, Lee, and Kiba." Tsunade said.
"Oh." Ino hadn't heard about what was happening until now.
"Ino. I'm adding you onto the mission. You will team up with Sakura, Lee, And Kiba in catching the Christmas thieves." Tsunade said.
"The what?" Ino wasn't getting it. But what she did understand.. "Some idiots decided to steal Christmas?!" She shouted.
Sakura rolled her eyes. "A few Rogues from the hidden rain came over here to take decorations. I already got the message from Temari and the hidden stone." Sakura said.
Ino glared. "Really?" She then looked over at Tsunade. "I'm in! Were do we go?" She asked.
Tsunade smiled. "On this map I had Shikamaru and Choji find there so called hide out. And it's in this big tree near the Land of Iron." She said.
Ino studied the map. "I think I have an idea. But we need to get the hide out." Ino said.
"There are over a dozen of these men. You think four of you are going to catch them all?" Tsunade said.
Ino grinned. "No. I need one other person if that's okay." Ino said.
"Okay then." Tsunade said.
"What do you think your doing?" Kiba whispered to her.
"Just improvising. Trust me on this." She whispered back.
Sakura raised an eyebrow at the two but pushed it aside when it was time for them to head out.
End of Chapter one.
