Author's note: My second chapter!!! YAY!!!!

To all you enthuastic people who were waiting for the second chapter, it is finally out!!!!!


3 weeks later...


Ino met with two other anbu for her mission briefing.

After informing her that there were Akatsuki hanging around in the woods, killing people who passed by, the anbu took out two strange, long objects--"guns".

"Do we have to use guns to take out the Akatsuki?" Ino asked.

"Of course," was the reply. "Oh, we are also to use bombs instead of kunais..."

"Bombs..." Ino thought, remembering how her fellow ninjas had nearly blown her up by accident using bombs, and how she narrowly escaped the incident.

"Um...do we have to use bombs?" Ino asked weakly.

"Why... is there any problem?" they asked.

"... um, no," Ino stammered. She gulped, nervously. "Ok, then, since we have reached our decision, let's set out."


Yet three MORE days later...


"I heard a strange explosion in the woods yesterday...might be explosives..." commented a civilian.

"Wonder what happened, then," added another.

Konoha's gates suddenly swung open, letting in one heavily wounded Ino.

Mrs. Yamanaka flung to her daughter's side.

"Ino!" Mrs. Yamanaka said. "What in the world happened over there?"

"Bombs exploded...*coughs*...at too close proximity." Ino replied.

"Ino!" a third, very worried voice yelled out. "Are you alright? You should've told me!"

"I'm all right! For heaven's sake, stop pointing at me, whispering at me, and yelling at me!!!" said the very annoyed, tired, and burned Ino.

At this, the entire crowd made way for the person who called out earlier...a particular blond-haired boy with strange armor... him. He held out his hand toward her and gently pulled her up.

"Ino..." he whispered. "I was so worried about you."

"You were?" she asked, dubiously.

"Of course I was. As soon as I heard you were dispatched, I was mad with...with...worry. Worry for you."

"YOU WERE?" Ino repeated, very loudly.

"Yes. So do you want treatment for your wounds, or do you want to lie there all day, waiting for someone to pick you up?" He replied.

"O-of course I am!" Ino regained her confidence after the brief moment of shock. "So do you want me to lie here all day, waiting for someone to pick me up?" she echoed.

"Fine. Up you go." he answered. "EXCUSE ME! INCOMING!"


The next day, Ino sat propped up on the headboard of her hospital bed, reading "In Her Own Little World: aka Stop Cussing, Hiruma!" by the fanfiction author with the pen name "mangaotaku29".

Laughing gently, she turned to the next page, still not noticing that someone was watching her.

He turned his head away, walking slowly out of the hospital, all the way until he reached his father's grave.

"Father..." said he. "I always knew that you wanted me to go out with someone smart and nice, but that was all when you were pretending to be nice to me! When were you, ever?" Kicking a blitzball madly at his father's grave, the tombstone crackled and broke...Leaving the mysterious ball player in total darkness. Walking away, he returned home, gladly met by his mother and all his servants.


Author's note: There is a mysterious end to this chapter... right?

Notice how i put "In Her Own Little World: aka Stop Cussing, Hiruma!" ?

... It really is an actual (Eyeshield 21) fanfiction story by Kay ex Kay. IT IS VERY FUNNY. (Kay ex Kay: Really. I think you're just putting this so I'll help you more with your stories, aren't you, Mystril Shadow? Although it is kinda fun to fix up your chapters... :P) Even if you haven't read the manga--I haven't either--and therefore have trouble 'getting' the characters in her story, it still is a very funny story no matter what. Again, three cheers for Kay ex Kay, who edited and modified this chapter. I will continue!!! I PROMISE!!!!
