Her Time Alone: A ShikaIno fanfic

Disclaimer:

Middi: Hewoo peoples!!! This is my second fanfic; the other is an oneshot for Shikamaru

and Ino, like this one. But I am planning on making this a few chapters; I have other SxI thingies in mind but don't have the energy to put my ideas on paper.

Shikamaru: Are you going to get to the point? *sigh* Mendokuse.

Ino: Hey you lazy ass! Don't insult her; she's the one writing about us. And I don't know about you, but I would rather go against Gaara AND Naruto together in full jinchurriki mode then her in a bad mood. Remember LAST time?(implying something REALLLY BAD!)

Shikamaru: *shudders* Hai Hai Ino-chan.

Middi: Oh Shi-ka-kun? (Teehee I LOVE MY JOB!) Careful, now where was I before I was so rudely interrupted? Oh right, disclaimer. I do not own Naruto. Do not say I own Naruto because I don't, I don't want trouble. All I own is the plotline. THANKIES!!!

It was a cold day in Konoha, the village hidden in the leaves, and it was very disturbing. Konoha was in the middle of Fire country, the second hottest village next to Suna. Cold was just a light breeze not dropping ever below above freezing temperatures*. The clouds in the sky were an ominous gray color, and the sun barely shone through. Everything was shaping up to become a horrible storm, yet there was undeniable excitement in the air as all the boys in the Konoha 12, were coming home after the second, (and SUCCESSFUL) Sasuke retrieval mission. Sakura Haruno, TenTen, and Hinata Hyuuga went to restrain and heal the members of the rescue team. Ino had not been able to; she had been called on a last minute mission.

It had been 2 and a half years since they had left. Sakura was now 22 years old, she had let her hair grow out long again. It was still her beautiful rosette color. It had been almost 10 whole years since the bastard Uchiha Sasuke had left the village for Orochimaru, and she knew she had no feeling whatsoever for him anymore. Her love rekindled inside of the foxy blonde haired, blue eyed prank legend Naruto Namikaze Uzumaki, the son of the great 4th Hokage. He treated her as if she was a goddess, and always knew what to do to make her laugh, she also knew about his terrible orphaned life, and wanted to show him happiness, before he left Naruto had proposed to her and Sakura almost killed him with the amount of happiness she had in her heart. She truly was the "Sakura of Konoha", her expertise in medical ninjutsu rivaling Tsunade, one of the great Sanin.

TenTen was a hell of a girl! Anyone who knew her name knew of her absolute love in the ways of the weapon. Her last name will always and forever remain a secret*, but there was some discussion on her gaining a last name, and a fight, sort of, between Rock Lee and Neji Hyuuga, but the odds were for the Hyuuga. He never showed anyone else his sensitive sides but her. She would beat the crap out of anyone who would ever badmouth her friends. She had grown stronger in the years that she knew the Rookie 9, she was teaching weaponry at the Academy. Everything was fine for her, the great "Weapons Mistress of Konoha".

Hinata was the most improved out of all the ladies. She had long navy blue hair cascading down her back, and the palest skin. Her eyes were the color of cream and moonlight, she had become a beauty. Her stuttering had improved, but she was still shy amongst some people, mainly her father. He was going to be stepping down from his role as Head of the Hyuuga Clan. Hanabi, Hinata's younger sister, and Neji were favorites to become the heir, but regulation states that the first born become leader. Hinata loved Naruto still, but as a friend. He made her laugh and they talked about training and all that, but she could see that he truly loved Sakura. And another had caught her eye, the brash, strong, willing, and handsome Kiba Inuzuka. Kiba confessed his feelings for her at the annual festival, truly she loved Naruto, but the feelings for Kiba were very strong. Her Juuken was extremely close to Neji's; it was above Hanabi's yet didn't plan on showing her father quite yet.

Ino had become the most beautiful kunoichi in Konoha. For men, all she had to do was tell them to F-off and they would be at her command. And for all its worth, those who think she's slutty are wrong. She has never slept with any guy, albeit she does go out with all the guys. Her mind transfer, Shitenshin no jutsu, was just more powerful, if not more than the Elder Yamanka, the inventor. She could control multiple people with her technique. Her platinum blonde tied up in her usual ponytail went to her waist. Her lithe form was perfect on seduction missions, her small body, coupled with her mature figure, was enough to make men drop dead. And yes, if they ever made any bad moves against her or her friends either she or her father would make them drop dead.

Sakura was in love with Naruto, TenTen was in love with Neji, and Hinata only had her beautiful Byakugan eyes for Kiba. So where does that leave Ino? Ever since Sarutobi Asuma's death she would decline anyone who asked her out on dates. She became quieter, resolved, and more mature. She vowed to her dying sensei that she would take care of her teammates. Nothing in the world would ever make her change that. If someone else on Team 10 died, so would she.

Ino had a simple, solo, C rank mission. Patrol the borders of Fire Country, then report back with findings. It was a month and a half, so she didn't know they were coming till Tsunade had ordered her back home. She didn't know that that day she would stray to death's door unable to express who she was until she was broken and gone…
