Searching for my Own

A/N: Hi! It's another GaaIno story! But this one is different. I've had this idea for awhile now, and I finally got to writing it! So, here's the first chapter! And yeah, it isn't a oneshot, even though it may seem like it is.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

Dear Lord Sabaku no Gaara,

I am deeply sorry if this upsets or angers you. But please do not be angry. I have decided to go on a little journey, to search for my own. Do not fret, because I assure you, I will not be alone. Sir Shikamaru and Sir Chouji have agreed to accompany me, no matter how "troublesome" it may be, as Shikamaru says. Sir Chouji wishes to see his "mysterious" lady love of Derbon, who he had come across one day while she was visiting our town. So, upon our journey, we will be stopping in Derbon to meet this woman. Shikamaru and I hope to meet her soon. I know she must be a kind spirited woman.

Anyways, I hope you take this opportunity to mend things with Kankuro. I know that you do not like Sakura very much, but she's your sister-in-law and my best friend. You should be nicer to her, and please do not try to harm her again. This time, I will not be there to stop you. I really hope that when I have returned, I can see that you two have worked out your problems and are on better terms. I really do not like either of you loathing one another so much. And I think I am not the only one who feels this way.

If Deidara or my father ever asks where my whereabouts are, then simply say that I have gone to search for my own and nothing more. They shall understand and not ask about this again, so do not worry much about them.

I have no plans of where we will exactly be traveling, maybe just from town to town. We shall be going wherever nature leads us. I myself also do not know when this journey shall last, only that it will take awhile; but I do know my heart shall be aching for you, and only you. Please be patient and do not come after me. Please send Shikamaru, Chouji, and my regards to Temari, Sakura, and Kankuro. Thank you.

Love,

Lady Yamanaka Ino

P.S. I love you

"C'mon guys! Let's go! You're way too slow!"

"Troublesome…"

"Wait for us Ino! You're just way too fast!"

A/N: So, err, how was it? Review please, I would really appreciate it. This story can be a oneshot, don't you think? But I decided to make more chapters. So, expect an update on this story sometime soon, maybe.
