Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto no matter how much I would like to...though I am entitled to your souls since I am the devil...MWAHAHA!!! *looks into the audience* I'm the devil but I'm not mental

Yamanaka Ino sat down in her flower shop and bit an apple, seeing not many customers shopping. but why should they, it was 8 at night, not many people were still shopping at night.

"Honey, we'll close the shop tonight, you got a mission early in the morning from Hokage-sama."Ino's mother said from the backroom.

"She said report to her office at 6 in the morning...I feel for you, sweetie."Ino's father said.

"Ino-pig!!"An annoying voice from the door said. The bell rang to signify her entrance but it warned Ino too late.

"Konichiwa Sakura."Ino said, masking her discomfort with a fake smile she learned from Sai.

"When are you gonna go out with someone? Everyone's got someone except you."Sakura said.

Ino rolled her eyes but she knew it was true. Sakura had Naruto since Sasuke had left the village to seek Orochimaru's power. Shikamaru had Temari. Chouji had Ayame. Tenten and Neji. Hinata and Kiba. The only bachelors left were Shino and Rock Lee. No and Noo....but then there was Kankuro and Gaara, Kankuro wasn't for her since he usually didn't take much things seriously. Gaara on the other hand too things a lot seriously..but other than that, he was quiet and hawt, but busy.

Ino wasn't jealous, but she just didn't find the one for her.

'"I'll find the guy when I find the guy, Billboard Brow. Got it?"Ino asked.

"So What are you doing tomorrow, Ino? We could have a girls only night."Sakura asked, truly Sakura was a nice enough girl, but only when she wanted to be. but she had Ino's best interest in her heart.

"I have a mission, Hokage-sama wants us to carry out."Ino said,"And I gotta leave at some 6 in the morning! Does anyone believe in beauty sleep these days!?"

"I feel for you, Ino. What kind of mission is it, for the ANBU squad to go out. Plus, you, the captain."Sakura said,"I'm proud of you Ino, you found the thing you're best at, which is being the Head Chief of the Interrogation and Torture Department and the 2nd division's captain."

"Arigato, Sakura."Ino smiled, Sakura really knew how to inflate someone's ego.

"but that doesn't leave much time for your love life."Sakura added. Ino frowned, Sakura knew how to inflate and deflate someone's ego, but she only learned that from Ino. She'd be lost without Ino.

Ino sighed before Sakura got the hint that Ino was tired of this discussion already.

"Fine, fine, fine, Ino, but we'll talk more on this subject whether you like it or not."Sakura waved before exiting the flower shop. The bell alerted Ino that she had left.

"You can go now, sweetie. Go catch up on your beauty sleep."Ino's mother said, lifting a potted plant off the floor.

"Yeah, go catch some Z's."Ino's father joked, taking the plant from Ino's mother's hands.

"Thanks Mom, thanks Dad."Ino smiled promptly before taking off her apron and throwing in onto the hook.

She walked home on the dark night, very few people were out at all. Ino hated walking home, alone at night. Konohagakure looked like a ghost town at night. It seemed like shadows casted out ghosts.

Ino shivered and felt the feeling of someone watching her. She turned around and looked around for a perpetrator but found no one. She shrugged it off and kept walking.

(it kinda feels like somebody's watching meeeee......oh wo it kinda feels like somebody's watching me!!...... Michael Jackson...i forgot What its called but i always liked that song..lol)

Ino soon got to the Yamanaka residence in about 2 minutes. She got undress into her nightclothes, which consisted of a tank top and some short shorts.

(this is nighttime anyway)

Ino drifted off to sleep in about 20 minutes. She was exhausted and needed every ounce of sleep she could get since she was getting up very early for that mission Tsunade-hime needed her for.

'It must be a big mission if I'm required...'Ino thought before laying down and closing her eyes.....little did she know, she was being watched.

"She's pretty, right sempai?"A boy in an orange-swirled masked asked an older boy. The older boy had golden blonde hair and blue-green eyes. He resembled Ino in the opposite gender.

"Sempai?"the orange masked boy asked.

"What is it, un?"

"I said isn't she pretty? She looks alot like you."

"Shut up, Tobi, yeah!"The boy half whispered half said.

"Hai, Deidara-sempai..."Tobi said quietly.
