1Naruto Uzumaki Had Been Bested
This is the 4th chapter of me tale about Ino Yamanaka's life. In this chapter Kiba and Ino become closer, Sakura goes back to the village and the remaining three run into some trouble.
Ino awoke to the snoring face of Naruto Uzumaki.
She laid like this for the a few minutes.
He's so cute when he's asleep.
When Ino decided to get up she moved Kiba's jacket...and the blanket she had stolen from Sakura and place on him. She looked over to Kiba's place in the tent, after prying Naruto's hand from around her waste, huh...no Kiba. She left the tent and was surprised to see that Kiba was already awake and cooking breakfast.
"Ow, did I wake you?" asked the boy in a tone of voice Ino would almost mistake as sweet.
"No, but...why are you cooking breakfast?"
"Naruto can't cook, and I figured I'd beat him to the punch" he smiled.
"Smart." Ino walked back into the tent and returned with Kiba's jacket, on.
"Nice jacket,"Kiba said
"It's the warmest, best smelling jacket I've ever warren."Implied Ino while lifting the hood. She wanted to say it was nothing like the real thing.
"I take it you haven't warren Naruto's jacket yet,"
"Actually, I have, and I like yours a lot more..."
The two didn't speak again until after breakfast, the tents had been packed, and the team was on the road again. Blushing and thinking about Ino's statement the entire time.
When the team reached the half way point marked on their map, they had to split up to cover both roads in the fork path. But before they began to discuss this, they saw a figure appear from behind they and all had Kunai knives ready.
But it was only Temari stating that lady Tsunade was in need of Sakura for further training in her medical jutsu. Ino argued that they needed four people to cover both roads and make their destination before the bandits leave. Temari said that to replace Sakura lady Tsunade had sent TenTen. (A lot of replacements right!)
To decide on who was to go which way with who, the team played rock paper scissors .
TenTen was out first, then Naruto, then Ino. So the decision was up to Kiba.
"We'll who ever I pick, It looks like the two ways are completely different to we will take the unlit path and the other two will take the path with street lamps.
"SO!, Who do You Pick!" demanded Tenten, "Since, Tenten has an attitude, I guess Ill go with Ino." he had to make an excuse to be alone with the blonde girl.
Naruto and Ino exchanged sad looks and the two hugged before the teams separated.
Dark Path
Ino was saddened to have to leave Naruto but was glad to have time to talk to Kiba.
As the two walked along the dirt path they had small on and off conversations.
"So, Kiba ,what I said earlier, I was just saying that your jacket was a little/" Ino was cut off by Kiba pulling her off the path into the woods.
Kiba put a hand over Ino's mouth to signal to SHUT UP! Akamaru barked but was silenced by Kiba;s hand gesture.
In an instant a huge mountain lion jumped from behind the tree it had been crouching.
Kiba pulled out a Kunai and dared the lion to attack. Ino stood frozen.
The lion saw Ino's fear and pounced onto her knocking her against a tree trunk. The lion was inches from Ino's face when Kiba began speaking in a language that sounded like gibberish. The lion turned to Kiba and never stopped listening to him. Finally Kiba ended their chat with a growl that made Ino's skin crawl.
The Lion stared for a moment and then ran back into the never ending forest of trees.
When he was gone Kiba extended a hand to help Ino up.
"You just saved me..." said Ino in a grateful voice Kiba couldn't recognize.
Kiba just smiled and the began his journey back on the main road.
The two didn't speak until they reached the intersection where Naruto and Tenten where in a heated battle.
"No, I didn't hit you in the head, it was a tree branch!" Tenten voiced
"Yeah, that's why there where no trees around," Naruto said
"Let's go team, enough fighting, we're almost there." said Ino
The entire way there no words were exchanged of the battles each had faced on the different roads. But Ino didn't care about Naruto for once in her life. She was still in shock over Kiba. The way he had tamed that beast. This gave her a new found confidence and an idea for a new jutsu she would try as soon as the time was right.
"This is the last stop everybody," Ino said as the team set up camp on the sands of a beach, exactly tree miles from Shallow Rock, the bandits hide out.
When camp was set instead of eating their remaining food, the four went for a swim.
They all played water polo. Find a star fish, and numerous other beach games until it became dark.
When the four arrived back to their camp they saw that there were, what appeared to be two bandits raiding it!
Naruto jumped into action by creating two clones of himself and the three taking out to Kunai knives to attack the bandits, but when by the time the group reached the camp, the bandits had escaped with all their food, money, and clothes they had taken with them.
Naruto was mad, mad being an understatement.
"I'm going tonight," he said trying to find another kunai knife that hopefully the bandits had left behind.
"No Naruto, its alright. We'll all go tomorrow and get our stuff."
She could see his eyes changing. The beautiful sky blue eyes that Ino had become lost in so many times had become dark and red.
She stood in his path as if standing before a train with no brake.
Ino knew the time was right to try her own calming jutsu.
She preformed the appropriate and signs and her eyes turned into full white circles. She placed both of her hands on Naruto's chest and looked up into the darkness of his eyes.
Kiba watched in amazement as Naruto fell into Ino's arms as if being hit by a sleeping pill.
Kiba helped Ino carry Naruto into the tent and put him into his sleeping bag.
The camp sight was surrounded by bushes making it hard to spot from the road.
As the fire died down Tenten went off to sleep.
Ino dragged her sleeping bag from the tent and pulled it out to beside the fire on the sandy beach.
"You'll be cold, if you sleep out here," Kiba stated as he stood over the Ino who could already feel herself falling asleep.
"Like I care," said Ino wishing in her mind that he would sleep near her.
After a few minutes, Ino was out like a light, Dreaming of being in her warm bed in Konoha.
After what felt like five minutes, Kiba felt an arm around her, maybe Naruto. She turned without opening an eye and snuggled closely to his chest she laid her head on his chest listening to his heart beat.
Thump...Thump...Thump
For some reason Naruto was a lot warmer, and smelled like a mixture of mens cologne and sweat. "You Smell good Babe," said Ino.
No reply, must already be asleep. With this the Yamanaka Princess fell asleep on the beautiful beach she had always dreamed of living on when she was a young girl.
