"What's his problem?" Choji asked, Sakura jsut stared after Kiba. She had been the only one to see the pain and worry on his face, "I don't know," then she looked on the floor and sighed, he had left the bag she packed him.

Picking it up, she walked out of the room, she was off now anyways. So, she could bring it to the Inuzuka compound, on her way to the ramen shop to meet everyone.

Kiba dashed through the trees as the feelings racing through his body gathered in his stomache, making him want to barf. All he could think about was that Ino was out in this storm, in the woods, cold, tired, maybe hurt. Or. Worse... Shaking his head he focused on finding her instead of the images going through his mind. The horrable-worst-case-scenario images... Oh, God, he really was going to barf!

Sakura dashed under the shelter of the portch, letting down her make-shift chakra umbrella, before knocking. Seconds latter it opened to show Hana on the other side, "Oh, hi, Sakura. Come in," She stepped back to let the girl enter. After she was inside Sakura handed Hana the bag, "Here," Suprised, Hana took it, "Thank you, but how did you know we needed these?" Sakura shook her head,"I didnt , I ran into Kiba at the hospital, we were talking about Ino when Shikamaru and Choji wlaked in and he took off-"

Haa had stopped listening, she was back in the room with Kiba, talking, "So, that's what that was about..." "What did you say?" Hana looked at her, "Oh, nothing. Would you like some tea?" She started moving toward the kitchen. "nNo, I need to be going. I'm meeting the guys at Ichiraku's. I'll see you later."

With that she left, leaving Hana to ponder what her litle brother had gotten himself into.

"So cold..." Ino was huddled under a make-shift shelter as the rain came pouring down. She would have gone home, if it wasn't for thisnlitle thing called 'Pride', and the fact that she was at the bottom of a hill, with no way around it. And it was too big to jump over in one bound, she would need to land at least twice. But, no, the ground had not one single foot purchase, all mud. She didn't know how it happened, it just did. One minute she was running, then she was falling to the bottom of this pit. She had scrapped her hands and feet and her leg had a gash on it, though she stopped the bleeding with her medical ninjutsu, it still hurt like hell.

And the worst part of all of this was that it was filling up with mud andit was getting closer and closer to her rock, "I have got to get out of here," she stood and braved the steep slope of mud to climb a good two feet before her foot slipped. Hissing she fell to the mud cover ground, she landed on her injured leg. It scraped against a sharp rock, cutting it open again and letting the mud mix with her blood. She couldn't even move anymore, weiriness took hold of her as bloodloss made her vision blurr. Falling backwards, she sprawled in the mud, looking up. Just before she closed her eyes she saw a figure making its way down the hill to her, his face blacked out. She heard her name called before she slipped into the forgiving darkness.

Sorry it's short, but I would have finished it in this one if I didn't stop. Hope you enjoy the cliff-hanger! Review please!
