I don't own naruto.
Ino yawned and then remembered the cover her mouth with her right hand. "I'm so tired…" she pulled at her ponytail and then stood up to stretch from the car.
They were both back at their new found house and started to pack the suitcases back into the house. "Just hurry up," Sasuke said and then pulled at her sleeve before walking into the house with all of the suitcases in both of his hands.
"I'm coming.." Ino muttered sleepily and then began to slide down so that her legs would unconsciously form a split. Her head was in her hands sleepily and then looked up when Sasuke walked back out.
A shocked expression was on his face. "What the hell are you doing? We have one email." he walked over toward her, remembering not to trip over her long legs that were stretched horizontally. "Can you.. get up yourself?" he bent down to pick up her hand and then tried to pull her up.
The blonde made no mention or movement signaling that she was going to move any time sooner. "I want to sleep though," she said and then leaned forward so that she would get out of her split formation, and instead be lying down.
"You can sleep later," he said back and then tried to pull her up.
Instead Ino just laid down so that her arms were crossed and her head rested in them. "I don't want to.. How about now?" she yawned once more and then turned around so that she could look up to see Sasuke's face.
His face had a large trace of anger on it and he said, "We have an email. From. Mike," he said through his teeth dangerously.
"Why did you say that earlier?" she jumped up from the grass she was laying on and then was just about to run toward the house when a foot that stuck out stopped her form advancing any more.
Someone's hand was on her waist while the other hand was holding her shoulder, stopping her from falling any more. He tipped Ino back onto her feet and then began to slowly, and calmly walk back toward the house. "Come, we don't have to rush," he said and then gestured for her to walk closer.
Ino stood there for several minutes before running up toward him and giving him a hug from behind. "I," she began to say, "I never got to do this.. It's just in case something happens to me," she said and then pressed her left cheek toward his back.
"It's fine, Ino. It was just a small mistake we both didn't see," he said, surprisingly calm. Sasuke placed a hand where Ino's hand was wrapped around him and then tried to gently pry it off him.
The two arms just tightened around him. Sasuke tried a second time to pry Ino's hands off him. It worked that time and he continued walking ahead of her.
She followed, arms behind her back, walking in a sort of skip-walk beat every now and then. A small smile played at the edges of her lips as she walked behind Sasuke.
As soon as they both entered the room the emailed opened itself and then a face of Mike was shown clearly. "Hey guys! Just telling you that at nine tonight, someone is going to pick you up! For.. A battle.. Since all of you kids finished your little assignment I want you all to fight each other in teams so that we can at least get some out of the contest," he said and then the laptop screen was dark and black once again.
"It's seven thirty right now," Sasuke said and then walked over toward their room while Ino just ran pass him. When he finally arrived into their room Ino was already packed up and shoving something into the pocket of her pants. "We have a lot to prepare for.. Especially those bomb teenagers.. Though they have no aim."
Ino through his katana at him and said, "This is what we're using to fight!" then she picked up hers and then took a deep breath before slowly sliding it out to look at it's sharp, thin blade. 'Still in good condition..' she looked up. "In the mean time I'm going to be taking a long bath," she said and then grabbed her cloths before rushing to the bathroom.
"Don't take too long!" Sasuke shouted after her. The katana was still in his hand. 'Whatever,' he thought and then walked out of his room, toward another room in the house.
The random room he had picked to go into had several straw dummies set up all over the place, for practice. He threw the casing of the sword in the air and then ran his katana through several of the dummies at once. A casing falling to the ground was heard a few seconds after he had destroyed some.
It felt like he had only practiced for ten minutes when a katana also pierced the dummy that he was going to destroy. A small giggle was heard before Ino walked in front of him to pick up the small picture in the middle of all of the dummies.
The end of her small dress lifted up as she bent down slightly to get the picture. She took one look at it and then spun around and hid it behind her back. A nervous smile was on her face as her robe slightly float in mid air.
"What is that? Let me see," Sasuke said, his hand reaching for the picture already.
Ino's hand shoved him back a few feet. "Nah ah. You're not ever going to ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, see it!" she turned around and threw Sasuke her katana before running out of the room. 'Gotta hide..' she slipped the picture into her robe pocket and then threw it off so that she could change.
Her dress was off and onto the floor when the door opened. "Get out you pervert!" Ino threw the closest thing near her (the pillows) and it struck the door as it slammed shut close. 'He.. He probably did that on purpose!' Ino's face blushed a light pink.
The wardrobe was only a few feet away from her as she walked closer and closer toward it. She reached into it to take out her plain halter top and then pull it over her head and then slipped on some soft yoga pants.
"Purple lacy bra, huh?" Sasuke said and then smirked toward her. A hand came waving over his head, ready to smack him. Instead he dodged it and said, "Purple? It's usually black, you see. Lacy bra is the new thing girls sometimes wear these days," he continued.
"Shut up!" Ino screamed and then felt one of his arms pull at the strap of her halter top for several seconds. Her hand swatted his away from her.
He pointed at the strap. "I see you're still wearing them." he dodged a high kick from her.
"No shame in letting a guy know. Someone is going to get themselves into your little skirt and then all of the news will spread," he said, his voice changing into a cold tone instead.
"Um.. Uh.." Ino didn't know what to say except, "Is.. Is that bad?" the doorbell rang quickly, which sent small shivers up and down Ino's spine. 'Creepy…'
Sasuke walked behind her as she went to answer the door. "Yes, it is a bad thing. How can I allow some moron to get in bed with you?" his fist was slightly clenched.
"Is Sasuke Uchiha jealous? Cause… it's going to get really weird with you," Ino said and then pulled the door open.
Mike jumped in and then began to shout, "ALRIGHT! I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU FIVE MINUTES TO GET EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR THE BATTLE AND THEN SOME CLOTHS, STUFF YOU NEED, WEAPONS, AND THEN WE'RE GETTING THE HELL OUT OF HERE!" his voice was amplified and it sounded completely worse than it regularly would.
Sasuke grabbed the microphone and then said, "Your voice sounds weird and pathetic." he gave the microphone back to Mike and then began to go back to his room so that he could begin packing up.
The blonde girl ran toward Mike in six minutes, her small suitcase in her hand and a wide smile on her face. "I'm all ready!" she proclaimed, and then turned so that she would look over at Sasuke.
Sasuke walked over toward Ino and threw her a sword before walking up toward Mike and muttering, "What now?" his voice sounded annoyed and obviously, he was annoyed.
"Let's go! We're off to see contestants! The wonderful, wonderful contestants!" he shouted happily and then began to skip.
'What kind of moron is skipping at a time like this?' she felt her eyebrow slightly twitch. "What the hell is wrong with you? Stop your stupid skipping and get down to business!" she pointed a finger toward him and poked it toward his head.
He waved an impatient arm at him. "Fine! Get into the helicopter!" he shoved them both at the helicopter and then jumped into it after the pair.
'This is going to be hell..' Ino sneered at the back of Mike and then looked at Sasuke. No expression was on his face at all, looking as if he didn't care a single thing in the world at all. 'Ugh.. I miss Daddy..'
"Did I mention you'll be able to spend some time with your family again?" Mike said and then pointed toward something down at the ground toward the person driving the helicopter. "We're landing.."
Just as the helicopter landed, crowds of loud cheering were heard loudly. "I'll take your bags for now.." Mike gave them both a devilish grin and then signaled the pilot to take off.
Ino and Sasuke stood there, unsure of what to do next. Ino's eyes quickly caught a loud flash of an explosion in the audience and turned her head to see Inoichi, Deidara, and along with the rest of her friends.
Ino slipped the rubber band off her wrist and quickly tied her hair into a sloppy bun before dodging a surprise attack from the Mist. "Chill.. It hasn't even started yet," Ino said as she locked one of them in a headlock.
"Let me go!" the man from the mist struggled. The blonde released her hold on him and watch as he straightened out his shirt, just as he turned into another direction and began walking Sasuke stuck his foot out, making him stumble and looking more foolish than ever. "I'm going to kill you all!" he pointed a finger at both of them. Sasuke smirked and pushed two fingers against a part of his throat, making the mist teenager to begin to cough.
"That's pretty pathetic now," he said and then slid his katana out of it's casing, ready at anytime to begin fighting. Ino tipped her katana to one side and let the casing around hers fall down to the ground.
Her eyes followed the helicopter toward a tall block of marble and then Mike jumped out if it. "Whoa!" his feet tripped over each other, and if it wasn't for the pilot for helping him out he would have fallen down. He waved a hand toward him and then turned toward the microphone. "Now, since you little idiots had all of your tasks complete, I want to eliminate you, but not from random drawing," he said. "We're going to make you beat each other up until there is six of you left, too much to handle." he gave everyone a lazy grin. "Just go kill, now."
'Poisons. I have them,' Ino thought and then felt a sudden link connect to her wrist. A handcuff around both of their wrists. "I'll get it off!" Ino reached into her pocket to take out an extra hairpin and then began picking at it.
"Dodge!" Sasuke voice said out. Ino obeyed and avoided a fast missile that passed by. In return she threw a long needle in the direction. "Is that poison? Paralyzing?" Ino nodded and then threw Sasuke her katana before working back onto the handcuffs.
She wiggled the hairpin in the lock and then twisted it before feeling Sasuke's hand on her back, pushing her forward to avoid someone's punch. "Jump!" she heard him shout, she obeyed. A bomb was thrown and it hit the floor a few feet away from Ino and Sasuke.
"Wait," Ino muttered. A grin was spread across her face when she heard a satisfying click from the handcuffs. "Done!" she said and then jumped back to avoid someone trying to once again kill her.
Sasuke looked over at her and then threw her, her katana. "Catch it," he said and then slashed his katana at the person at his right, only moving his right arm.
"Can we.. Try not to hit or injure the least amount of people possible?" she asked and then wiped a bead of sweat at the side of her cheek. Her hair reached down to grab several needles and then shoot it toward the right in a perfect straight line.
It hit several people's neck and she watched as they fall to the ground, slowly. Pain was felt just a few seconds later, a hard, painful, punch. The punch was hit at her shoulder.
Ino looked up at the person before seeing him in position ready to kick her, so instead she just slashed the sword across his chest, just so a small cut could appear for her. Several more needles were thrown at him, no response at all. In shock, Ino was punched back once again. 'I only have three of these..' she took out an longer needle and then threw it at the teenager with all of her strength.
Several seconds later, he fell to the ground, paralyzed not hurt. Ino fell to the ground, covering her shoulder and feeling the pain. Someone ran toward her and then eventually got kill since Sasuke was hovering just slightly over her.
"Get up. Do you want to win?" Sasuke said and then punched someone's face. That person fell back onto the floor. "Do you?"
"Fine, I want to win," she muttered, but Sasuke still heard it. Just as she stood up the pain from her shoulders ran down her back, making it even worse for her. She fell back onto the ground, helpless.
Sasuke made a face at her. "Then get up," he said. He shifted his foot a little so he could be within reach to kick someone's ankle and then punch them in the face. "Or are you that weak to not even be able to stand up?" he turned down toward her.
"I'm not weak!" she looked away from him and then tried to stand up again. All of the pain ran down her back even more. She fell back an inch but then she stood up more, feeling all of the pain run up and down her spine. "See? Not weak at all!"
"Pick up your sword and then kill that girl that's running at you," he ordered and then looked at her cringe from the pain twice before getting a hold of her sword.
Ino swung her katana at the girl beside her and then began to pant because of the pain that felt like bullets grazing into her skin every few seconds. She gritted her teeth together and then stood up to high kick someone in their head.
A buzzing sound was heard before Mike was screaming, "Alright! That's enough! Enough fighting! One pair from each school is enough!" he waved his arms around to try to make them all stop.
The crowd was silence and some teenagers were even throwing several weapons at Mike.
"Stop that!" he shouted into the microphone at the teenagers, and then turned back at the contestants in the arena. "Anyway, as you dumb asses already know at least I do anyway. You morons get to spend one day here, and then we're outta here!" he pointed a thumb toward the back of him. The screen behind him multiplied Mike to get people to know the point of it all. "Pack up and get the hell out of here," he said and then rolled his eyes, which everyone in the audience caught.
Everyone in the audience stood up and began to take their items with them as they exited out of the large gate. Ino kneeled down a bit so that the pain would calm down a little. Her katana dropped down to the floor beside her.
"Come on, Ino. Let's go home, for now," Inoichi said, and then tried to make Ino stand so that he could support her. "We'll go home.. And relax a bit," he said in a soothing, calm voice.
Ino nodded her tired head slowly and then sighed.
