Ino pulled her hair through a rubber ring, making a messy ponytail. She looked into the bathroom mirror, on her small apartment's bathroom wall. Her face was paler than she thought, she just shouldn't have gone for that last round with Sakura yesterday.

She run water to her palms and washed her face, making strings of stick to her face. She grimaced for the mirror, she somehow made it thru the worst time of the morning. Namely getting up.

Before she could even tidy up her phone went off, with a really annoying ringtone to add. She grabbed it barking into the speaker.

"WHAT IS IT CHOJI!?"

"Well," the guy on the line gulping down whatever he may have in his mouth answered "just checking if you are up already?"

Ino rolled her eyes, fastening the phone between her chin and shoulder, she started to tidy up her makeup table.

"I'm up all right, but thank you…" she grabbed her brush and started to brush her hair.

"Yeah, I can hear that." he hesitated for a while before talking again. "Say Ino, why is that you started this job?"

Ino had a bobby pin between her lips and she concentrated really hard to put her hair up nicely. "Waff do hu meeb?" she put the phone to the table so it wouldn't hinder her anymore.

"I mean, you had the job at your parent's florist shop right?" the noise of a chips bag opening "There was no need for you, become a paramedic in addition." crack Choji already started eating whatever he had by the hand.

She put down her brush, looked into the mirror, even winking to her reflection. Putting on mascara and lip gloss, she pushed her chair back. For a long time, none of them said anything, she put on her uniform.

Choji could hear the sound of fabric being pulled. "Are you still here?" concern, Ino could hear it out so easily.

"Yep, " she said, grabbing the phone again, walking into her kitchen.

"You know if you are doing it because of that…"

"I like this job Choji; plus I rock the uniform!" she giggled into the phone. She started to fumble with her boot lace.

"Ino…" Choji sighed "… your uniform is black boots and dark blue pants and shirt."

"Still rocking it." she snapped her fingers, while swinging her bag over her shoulders.

"Well, you do," they laughed while cracking another chips "oh, I have to go now."

"Okay, me too, " she looked down her purple silicone wrist watch "thanks for the call. Bye!" she already had the keys in the lock.

"Yeah, take care you maniac. Bye…" he hung it up.

Ino clicked her tongue putting her earplugs in she walked down the stairs, when she got out the gate she run into something. She crashed into someone, not even caring she spun around shouting sorry. When she last checked her watch she was already late. Running down the lane to the headquarters, she almost collided with two other people. However, it was worth it, she made it just in time.

She got her equipment gesturing sorry for every other worker down her way, she swung her bag into her locker, and she checked her shift fast. She was on Ambulance Stretcher duty for the rest of the week. She wrinkled her nose, not that she didn't like it, but she liked them SR Units better.

After checking in she walked up to the common room, where two other guys already played cards.

"So who will be on shift with me today?" looking around the room most of the guys hated her guts. As sassy she was as annoying she became for most of her colleagues.

After a long minute one of the veterans noted her, she never drove she always sat on the passenger's seat. The guy started the engine, and Ino put on the safety belt. They had three old people visit for today, plus the emergencies they may have. The blond hoped for a lazy shift, she a bad permutation for the day.

"You were late." the bear like guy said.

"No, I was ON time, " she pointed to the clipboard, checking the patients. "Ah Chiba-san is on the list today."

The guy grumbled something about lip-gloss and drove off the station. When Ino was about to bicker about that mumbled word the radio went off.

The dispatcher told them about an emergency, not to far from their first address, so they took it. According to the Intel the dispatcher told them, there was a middle aged man with a weak heart.

"Well, that's for my easy shift" Ino sighed, flopping with the board till the guy speed up. "As for the lip-gloss, it's totally calculated into my schedule."
