I walked down the long hallway of the school I went to, Konoha Academy to be exact. My shoes echoed down the long hallway, clacking against the tiled floor and my long blonde hair swaying in my high ponytail as I made my way to the classroom I was supposed to be in a half hour ago. I cursed my mother under my breath. She had woken up late from oversleeping after her long day at the "Yamanaka Flower Shop" and had forgotten to wake me up since my alarm clock broke last weekend. I was so mad she had done that to me. I mean of all days she had to pick the last day of my junior year! Today afterall was supposed to be special. This was the last day before I became a senior.
I arrived at my classroom and opened the door already having my excuse fresh in my mind. But when I opened the door and walked in...the classroom was in total chaos. Everyone was talking and running around the classroom like wild monkeys who had escaped from the zoo and found a tree full of delicious bananas. I laughed at the thought, then looked around for my teacher, Mr. Hatake. Upon further inspection I came to the conclusion that he was late. I should'nt have been suprised since he was late most of the time but usually not this late, like 15 minutes max.
"Hey Ino, over here!" I turned around and saw my bestfriend, Sakura Haruno waving me over to where she currently sat. Sakura had became my bestfriend after she lost her parents when she was twelve to a car accident. I had comforted her out of pity but she turned out to be an amazing girl. She had her fathers bright green eyes and a mixture of both hair colors. Her father had silver hair while her mother had red. I guess the silver hair made the red turn lighter because now she had long pink hair. She was happy though since she said that she would now always have a peice of her parents. She ended up living with her aunt who was practically rolling around in money from owning that place called "moondollars".
I began to walk as a paper airplane flew by my head and missed my head by milimeters. I turned towards the culprit and saw it was that nice artist boy.
"Gomen!" he said, looking up at me with puppy dog eyes hoping I would'nt yell and cause a scene.
"Oh um, it's okay just watch it next time, kay?" I said picking up the piece of paper then walking past him and heading to my original direction of where Sakura was currently at.
I walked up the classroom steps and took my seat next to her, then set my bag down that held my things from makeup to my books for school. I looked at Sakura and gave her a hug before she bombarded me with question and lectures.
"Why were you late Ino-pig! I thought you werent going to show today!" She questioned while tilting her head to the side. Something she often did when she was confused or didn't understand something.
"Well forehead, my mother didn't wake me up this morning. I actually woke up myself and realised I was late. So I hurried to do my hair and got dressed and actually put on my makeup while I was running to school." I replied as she put her head back to normal, her long pink locks swaying with her.
"Ohhhh that explains it then. I knew you would'nt be late or not show up on purpose so I knew something was up." she said.
"Yeah, oh hey wheres Mr. Hatake at?" I asked, my curiousity getting to me.
"The principal, Ms. Tsunade came in and said he would be late today and for us to behave." Sakura stated.
I heard the classroom door click open and watched in amusement as everyone froze and ran to their seats acting as if nothing had happened.
"Hello class, sorry I'm late. One of my close friends passed away last night." Mr. Hatake said while walking to his desk. He sat down and began moving papers around probably looking for his perverted book he always carried around.
"Yeah right you liar!" Naruto Uzumaki had stood up and pointed at Mr. Hatake. I wasn't blaming him since Mr. Hatake always made up lies to cover up him being late. But everyone believed him because of how upset he looked, except Naruto of course.
"Actually Naruto I was being totally serious" Mr. Hatake said looking up at Naruto having a serious look in his eyes.
"Oh, sorry Mr. Hatake I didn't realise..." Naruto said, sitting down slowly with a look of sorrow on his face.
"Hahahahha just kidding I can't believe you fell for it! HAHAHAHAHA!" We all stared at Mr. Hatake in amazment and anger as we realised we had just been fooled by our own teacher.
"Hey, thats not funny! I really felt horrible!" Naruto yelled clearly pissed off as he jumped up, his golden hair moving with him. His normal cerulean eyes looked almost red.
"Alright, alright I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you guys angry." Mr. Hatake said moving his arms to make a point. Naruto sat back down looking normal again.
"Alright class as you know at the end of this class you will go to lunch and then to the gymnasium for your party at the end of the year thing. So if you don't mind just leave me alone and do what you want as long as it's appropriate and not super loud and it doesn't bother me." Mr. Hatake said his nose practically jammed in his book.
"So Sakura how have you been?" I said not really having anything to talk about.
"Uhhh okay I guess... OH I almost forgot I need to go shopping later on. Do you wanna come?" She said bouncing in her seat.
"Oh my goodness I can't believe you even asked that! Of course I do!" I exclaimed in her ear.
"Ok God I get the point...you blasted out my freaking ear drum!" she screamed at me while pounding on her ear.
"Hehehe, sorry Sakura" I said sheepishly.
I turned towards a group of boys making alot of noise and glared. I noticed that I saw Naruto in that group. 'Fheh no suprise' I thought to myself. Then I noticed that kid who almost hit me with that paper airplane.
"Hey Sakura," I said turning towards her, "Who is that boy over there talking to Naruto?"
Sakura looked over then turned towards me, "Thats Sai he's one of the schools top art students. Why?"
"This morning when I walked in he threw a paper airplane and it almost hit me in the nose." I replied remembering the scene in my head.
"Really? I would think he would've been more careful." She said with a weird look on her face.
I took out the airplane and showed her. Both of us analyzing the airplane amazed at how much detail he put into making it.
"Hm oh well I needed a piece of paper anyway." I said unwrapping the paper airplane so I could write down the makeup products I needed to get later on.
"Oh my Gondi" I said staring at the paper.
"What!" Sakura said taking the paper from my frozen hands.
Dear my beautiful Ino,
I know that if you read this it means my plan has been a success.
I knew that if you read this it was fate since I knew it was a long shot that you'd actually open this and read it instead of throwing it out. I also know that you know who wrote this since I'm the one who threw this. If I did hit you I apologize but I'm sure my aim is pretty good. If you did pick this up and are reading this now I want you to follow simple instructions so that I can show why I threw this. If you don't want to come then you don't have to. All I ask is that you give me a chance. I will understand if you don't come. But here are the instructions if you do decide. At the party at around 10:30 come to the art room, you will find a note as to where the next clue is for where you go next. Your hint as to where the note is, is this: Look to where the sun glows the brightest; where it brings life.
Sakura finished reading the note and smiled at me, handing the note back to me.
"Ino do you know what this means?" Sakura asked, a sly smirk on her face.
"Um no, what does it mean?" I said a little pre-occupied with making sure the note was neatly put in my purse.
"It means that I have to help you with this because your small brain wont be able to figure these notes out." She said looking in her bag.
"Crap I forgot it!" Sakura said while throwing her bag to the ground.
"Ummm what did you forget exactly?" I said raising an eyebrow at her.
"Look I need you to cover me so I can go back to my house and get what I need, okay?''
"Well you better be like a ninja and hurry, we have 30 minutes." I replied looking at the clock.

I bent down and slowly moved towards the window, making sure my desk covered me. I got to the window and turned towards Ino. She looked at Mr. Hatake then back at me and gave me a thumbs up. I opened the window slowly trying not to make noise. I looked back at Ino who nodded her head. I crouched up and jumped out the window. Good thing it was the first floor.
I landed on the grass, two feet below the window. As planned I got up and half crawled half ran towards the road. As soon as I was clear of the windows I took off at a dead sprint, running as fast as I have ever ran before. I ran past the library and went into the woods taking the shortcut to my house.
I slowed down into a jog but then stopped. I made sure my white skirt wasnt riding up past my mid-thigh and that my big brown belt was straight. Then pulled down my yellow v-neck that had ridin up from my crawling. I took a look at my new yellow shoes that had little bows at the end. Man I was good running with heels.
I started walking again and checked my phone, 9:40. I had time still. My house was only 4-5 minutes away walking. I began to walk fast so I didn't waste time and heard a noise in the bush. I looked at the bush then brushed it off and began walking again, this time faster. Then I heard it again, now I know in scary movies when the hot dumb girl goes into the woods alone and ends up getting killed because she goes to investigate the noise she heard. But I'm hot and SMART so I took off...away from the bush like the smart girls do.
I saw the back of my house and started to run. Not only to make it there faster but because I had that feeling. You know the feeling you get when your going up the stairs in your house and you feel like somethings right behind you so you start running up the stairs and your parents are like 'what the hell are they doing?' Yeah that feeling.
I ran up the steps of my deck, unlocked the door, got inside and slammed the door. I walked through my kitchen and up the stairs that led to the bedrooms. I walked past the bathroom and into my room grabbing the ear pieces. I walked out and jogged down stairs, walked through the kitchen and out the patio door locking it as I left.
I checked my phone, 9:47. Alright 13 minutes I can do this. I ran down my deck steps and took off my heels. I could run much faster now.

Where is she where is she where is she! My foot tapped impationtly as I looked at the clock and then the window. I heard a chair screech next to me and turned to my right looking away from the window.
"Hm? Shika what are you doing here?" I asked confused as I looked at one of my childhood friends, Shikamaru Nara.
"Nothing. Naruto was getting to loud and I was sick of hearing him and Sasuke go on and on about them being dobes and teme. I saw you sitting by yourself and thought I'd keep you company." Shikamaru said then yawned.
"I would've thought you'd be sleeping but your not." I said then got cut off by an anouncement.
"There has been a change of times," the speaker said, "The school is being set off a half an hour due to the dj being late, lunch will start at 10:30 and the dance for the juniors at 11:00. You have a half an hour more in your homerooms." The speaker then turned off and the chatter started right back up.
I whipped out my phone and texted Sakura a message saying 'hey anouncements came you have an extra half an hour to get back due to the dj being late. No rush.' I looked at Shikamaru and saw him dozing off.
"So Shika how have you been?" I asked to a half asleep Shikamaru.
Xx Sakura's pov xX
I heard my phone vibrate just before I started off for the school and looked at the message that read, 'hey anouncements came you have an extra half an hour to get back due to the dj being late. No rush.'
"Yes! thats perfect!" I said to myself as I texted Ino back a simple message saying 'yay!'. Then put my shoes back on knowing that now I didn't have to run like I was being chased by a bear or a moose.
I took my first step into the woods and remebered the bush I ran away from. I was for sure still scared of being attacked by a killer or worse...a moose! No wait moose don't live in hot weather. Psh I was such a dork.
"I know!" I said to myself, "whenever I walk home in the dark or alone I always call a friend or family member, so why don't I talk to someone as I walk through to get my minds off things! Wow I'm a genius!" I said outloud as I whipped out my phone and began to think. I don't want to call someone in my homeroom because then they'll know I'm gone. Hmm I know I'll call Rock Lee he stayed home today from being sick and hes an early riser I'll just call him!"
I dialed his number as I started walking through the woods. It rang once and then he picked up.
"Hello my beautiful cherry blossom of youth how are you doing!" Lee screamed in my ear. I inwardly laughed, he was always so energized.
"I'm good Lee but how are you feeling?" I asked as I looked at all the trees and watched two squirrels battle it out for an acorn.
"I'm doing amazing now that I've heard your youthful voice!" He replied as I heard someone in the background say something.
"Oh," Lee began again, "Guy sensei says Hello!" He rushed to say so I'm guessing he wouldn't have to interrupt me.
"Haha thanks Lee and tell Guy I said hello." I said smiling to myself as I pictured the scene in my head.
"So why have you called me on this beautiful morning? Aren't you in school?" He asked.
I stepped over a big branch and said, "Yea but I had to get something and I don't like walking through the woods witho-" I heard a beep and Lee saying something.
"I'm sorry for interrupting you but my nurse says I have to go, I'll talk to you later Sakura!" I heard a click and knew he hung up. As I looked up from my phone I saw the bush I was scared of and as soon as I saw it I heard a noise come from it.
"I don't care if he's in my homeroom right now," I whispered to myself and started dialing on my phone, "I need to talk to my boyfriend." My stomach had butterflies as I put the phone to my ear.
"Please pick up please please- Sasuke-kun?" I said when I heard the phone stop ringing.
"Sakura? Where are you I was looking for you." Sasuke said with a worried tone in his deep voice.
"I had to get something from my house so I took a shortcut through the woods and theres this bush and theres noises coming from it and I'm scared." I said quietly so if there was something in the bush it wouldn't hear me.
"Can't you just go around it?" He asked being the smart-ass he is.
"No," I said looking around, "it's all covered by big branches and thorns." I said as I jumped from hearing a low growl come from the bush.
"Oh my gosh Sasuke-kun something in the bush growled."
"Ok listen Sakura I want you to get as far away from the bush as possible as you walk foward. Walk slowly and try not to make noise." He said in a commading kind of tone.
"O-okay." I said as I began to walk foward being as far from it as possible. I walked slowly and as quietly as I could. When I was just about to be passed the bush something jumped out.
"Oh my goodness please don't kill me! Ahhh!" I screamed as I slammed against a tree. The thing ran up to me and when I looked down I noticed it was a...cat.
"Sakura?" I heard Sasuke yell to me.
"I'm fine it was a cat." I said sighing to myself.
"Gosh you scared me half to death! I thought you were being murdered." Sasuke said.
"Yeah I did to, I'll see you when I get back to the school. Love you, bye." I said.
"Hn, love you too, bye." I knew he was blushing since he doesn't like expressing feelings alot. I hung up and put my phone back in my skirt pocket and began walking again totally forgetting about the cat that probably ran under another bush ready to scare another helpless girl.

As I finished up telling Shikamaru about how he could get Temari to loosen up a bit, I remembered I needed to see if Sai had said anything about me at all and get some background information on him.
"Say Shika, that friend of yours Sai, I don't really know much about him could you maybe explain to me about him?" I said casually so I didn't seem suspicious.
"Uh well hes a top art student and I think he can play piano. Hes quite and kinda weird at talking to people due to this thing he has where it's hard for him to show emotions, know how people are feeling at times and doesn't understand alot about feelings and how to act around people.'' Shikamaru explained to me.
"So is this thing he has serious like a disease or something?'' I asked curious of what he had even though I was never really the science type.
"No it's like for example how Sakura is claustophobic. Well Sai's condition is similar to that but what he has is very rare." Shikamaru said while putting his hands behind his head.
"Oh I get it now." I said nodding.
"Lets see his birthday is November 25th and he's shy when it comes to starting a conversation and he seems to always carry around his sketchpad and a pencil." Shikamaru said. I knew that was all he knew since he then turned to me with a look I knew meant, 'thats all I know'.
"Wow thanks for the information. Does he ever talk about girls?" I asked looking at Shikamaru waiting for an answer.
"Come to think of it he does talk about Sakura alot. He seems to favor her, he said he likes to hang out with her at the library since shes a good listener and helps him alot with the emotion problems. He said she teaches him how to act around people and teaches him about her medical things and about artists from lat back in history." Shikamaru said with his eyes closed.
"So does he like her like her or what?" I asked kinda sad that he was so close to her.
"I know he finds her interesting and cute but they said it's a big sister-little brother kind of thing. Which makes sense seeing as how Sakura teaches him and acts almost in a motherly-protective way. She defends him from bullies and such." Shikamaru said as he yawned and leaned back in his seat, then said, ''I'm gonna go lay down I'm tired" Shikamaru said as he got up and lazily went back to his seat and began to nap.

I had just made it out of the woods and was walking passed the library when I sneezed and my ears started ringing.
"Someone must be talking about me." I said to myself as the school came in sight. I pulled out my phone and texted Ino saying to watch for me because I was at the school. I walked/crawled across the schoolyard pressing my body against the building. I came to the classroom window and peeked in. Ino was waving frantically giving me the ok sign so I climbed through the window.
"Uh-oh." I said as I fell into the classroom from the window landing on my butt.
Xx Ino's pov xX
I saw Sakura peek in so I looked at the teacher and made sure no one was looking then began waving her in. She climbed in and I heard her mumble something as she fell in landing on her tush.
"Sakura are you okay?" I said as I got up and helped her stand to her feet.
"Yeah I'm fine." She said as we sat down. She pulled two earings from her pocket and held one out to me.
"Um what are we going to do with earings?" I asked curious as to where she was going with this. She put one of the small black earings in her ear and handed me the other. I put it in my ear then waited for what she was going to say next.
"These are devices so that when they are turned on by being clicked we can speak to eachother like how we would on the phone. I'm going to help you figure out the notes as you recieve them." Sakura finished.
"Cool! I feel like a super spy or something!" I said excitedly.
"Haha yeah I guess so. Now mission 'Sticky Notes' begins now!" Sakura said. We did our secret handshake and said, 'konoichi team go!'. Our mission started now.
A/N: yayyyyyyyyyyy well it's summer vacation so I should have time on my hands to write more so I'll be working on my other stories alot too. Well hopefully theres some ino/sai fans out there so they read thisssss, kay bye!
