"He's traveling to sand village with a very important scroll he's suppost to give the sand village but the thing is everyone wants that and a lot of people want Kakashi dead and well you all of you have notice Kakashi's change in attitude and that might cost his life...if it hasn't already." The man says pushing ino off of him.
'Oh my God, his change of attitude... it was probably-'
"What have I done?"
'Me.'
Ino ran out of the club, and straight to the Hokage's office. Bursting through the door, she saw Tsunade-sama, the current Hokage.
"Where is he!"
The woman looked up at Ino, and frowned.
"Where is who?"
"You know who I'm talking about, Granny!"
Tsunade frowned.
"Yeah, I do."
"I demand to be sent to help him!"
"No can do, kiddo."
"Then I'll become a Missing-nin!"
Ino held up her headband and kunai threateningly. Tsunade growled.
"Fine, go. I expect you know that you need a reason to go out there besides "You want to" right?"
"Yes."
"So, ready for your mission?"
Ino nodded her head.
"You, and Kakashi, are now going to be legions for the Hidden Sand and Leaf Villages."
"...What? I hearing you correctlyyyyy?"
"Yup. See you in a year!"
"...O.O"
"^_^ Well, go on! Go save Lover-boy's ass!"
Ino smiled, and bowed.
"Arigato, Tsunade-sama."
She quickly ran out the village gates, and towards the Hidden Sand Village.
Kakashi keep on walking to the sand village keeping his guard up as best he could without other thoughts distracting him. Kakashi stops as he looks around in a seemly harmless area. 'Hmm no attacks yet so meaning there's a trap waiting around here somewhere...' Kakashi spins off to the side as he doges 7 daggers. "Shit why now..." Kakashi takes out a few weapons and starts throwing them at the enemy.
Ino ran as fast as she could.
'Please, don't let him get hurt...'
Kakashi jumped high into the air and swiftly turned around a few times to see a group of ninjas around him. 'Heh if I die...at least my books didn't get messed up...wonder if anyone got my note?'
In the distance, Ino saw Kakashi fighting about ten other people.
"Kakashi!"
Ino leapt into the air, throwing multiple kunai, and hitting them all dead on.
Kakashi swiftly turns around ready to attack but blinks as he sees ino standing there... "What in hells...name?" Kakashi looks around and then down at ino. Kakashi circles ino a few times. "Hmm I know I'm day dreaming...but then I would be dead...so maybe I am dead...nah...there's no way Hokage would let her come so maybe I'm going crazy...Hmmm"
Ino growled.
"And this is the man I'm in love with!"
Kakashi smirks looking at ino..."Ahhh so it is the real ino...Hmm I was pretty sure you would be too busy partying with some guy to notice little o'me was gone." Kakashi smiles looking at ino. "But thanks...And so you don't get hurt and never have a chance with sasuke you should go back to the village...wait scratch that he's gay so there is no chance to get with him...not like you will have too much trouble with your looks you could get anyone I bet." Kakashi winks at ino.
"You know what? Maybe it was a mistake coming here."
Ino began walking towards the Sand Village again.
"Huh? Why do I always do stuff wrong?" Kakashi whimpers following ino to sand village carrying everything he had and started counting his money. "Ok let's see when we get there I have to take ino shopping because she has nothing with her...hmm how much money do I have for the clothes? Hmm it has to be a lot...girls love shopping...or some do I think." Kakashi says to himself.
Ino rolled her eyes.
"Relax, I know what you're doing, and I'll be fine without your help, *Mumbles* clueless son of a bitch..."
Ino looked down at her feet.
'Oh, no, I'm not upset because he's too stupid to notice that when you love someone, you're not gunna leave them to get killed. Psh, he probably doesn't even know why I'm here. He's in for a shock when he realizes we're to stay there for a year. I, of course, will be staying with Temari, but Kakashi... Eh, oh well.'
Kakashi sighs and puts the money pouch away...'Dang girl always mad at me for some weird reason...maybe I should of stayed single I mean it worked half my life till the girl I loved died...and I refused to love again but...why did ino change that? 'Kakashi thinks walking towards the village. Kakashi knew they were getting close and picked up ino and dashed into the sand village where he gently let ino down and started off to give them the scroll.
Ino blushed for some odd reason, and hit him over the head. It was only then when she heard a squeal.
"OH MY GOD, INO!"
She turned around to see another blonde in her signature four-pigtails, and fan strapped to her back.
"OH MY GOD, TEMARI!"
The two blondes hugged, and she only then noticed the Kazekage, Gaara, and his older brother, and Temari's younger brother, Kankuro... without the kabuki face paint and cat hat...
"Hey, Guys! What's up!"
Gaara, never one to talk, simply nodded.
Kankuro walked over. "So what you doing here? Come to admit your dying love for me?" He asks looking at ino as he noticed Kakashi and Gaara off to the side talking about the scroll he had to deliver. "So you're with Kakashi? Why...where's your sensei...Or don't tell me you're engaged to Kakashi and just found out awhile ago?" Kankuro keep muttering weird things to himself.
-Gaara/Kakashi-
"Ya a few guys attacked not too much ino killed them before I relised she was there"
"Hmm ook well I got information that you and ino are staying here for a year from the Hokage...did you know that?" Gaara asks looking up at Kakashi.
"nope I though I was just to deliver that but I guess not...so Inos staying at your place...Hmm I might stay in the forest or get a room or something Inos very temperamental near me like she will just snap and kill me so ya..." Kakashi says rubbing his neck.
Ino glared at Kakashi talking to Gaara and looked back at Kankuro. "Uh... no... *glares at Kakashi* actually, I'm single. And. loving. it."
She said every word with unmatched venom. Inside her head, Inner Ino was having a fit.
*WHAT ARE YOU DOING! YOU CAN'T SAY THAT! YOU LOVE KAKASHI! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!*
'Well OBVIOUSLY he doesn't feel the same way, so eh.'
*So when are you going to tell him you both need to stay at Sand for a year?*
'When he's about to leave.'
-Gaara/Kakashi-
"Hmm well if you're staying in the forest you can help with the bandit problem and what not and well let's see I have a old cabin in the woods by a waterfall...not too far from here if you want to stay there but it's better to stay in the village...You can stay at one of the house I don't use."
Gaara says looking at Kakashi. "Hmm that's sounds cool..."
Ino, who had overheard the conversation, decided to talk more with Temari and Kankuro.
"So, I guess I'm staying with you guys!"
Kakashi and Gaara walk behind the 3 kids in front of them while walking to the house. Kakashi just wanted to make sure ino would make it safely to gaaras house before going off to one of the other houses.
Ino looked behind her to see Kakashi watching her, and immediately blushed.
"What's up?" asked Temari, looking over to where Ino's attention had been diverted to just seconds ago. Seeing Kakashi, she smirked.
'I'll talk to her about it later.'
"So Gaara you sure ino will be safe at your house as I will be in the other house? I don't want her to hate me but I don't want her hurt ether so uhh will she be good at your place?" Kakashi asks Gaara while looking back up at ino.
Gaara walked slowly with the Jounin thinking.
"Yes, I am sure she will be safe, but the question is, why do you care so much, Kakashi-san?"
Kakashi smirked looking at Gaara..."She changed me...I never thought anyone could do that but she did." Kakashi say looking back to ino who was laughing along with the other too.
Gaara smiled slightly and nodded.
"I understand what you mean. It's kind of like what Akako-chan did to me."
No sooner were the words out of his mouth when a feminine voice called out.
"Gaara-kun!"
The five turned around to see a young woman, Ino and Gaara's age, with black hair and white streaks in it, bangs covering up a black diamond shaped tattoo on her forehead, and yellow cat-like eyes with slits for pupils.
"There you are, I've been looking for you forever!"
Gaara smiled.
"Gomen nasai, Akako-chan. I was just meeting up with some old friends."
Akako looked past Gaara and saw Kakashi and Ino. She waved furiously.
"KAKASHI-KUN! INO-CHAN!"
Akako knew Kakashi didn't like hugs, so she bowed to him slightly, and went on with tackling Ino.
"It's great to see you again!"
Ino smiled.
"It's great to see you too."
Kakashi smirks looking at Gaara. "Yea I can see your point..." Kakashi then goes back to watching ino and Akako.
"It's great to see you too, Akako-chan! God I miss how you and me ganged up on Sakura the Bitch."
"Ugh, I know what you mean. That was the highlight of my years of being a Konoha Ninja."
Ino, Akako, Temari, and Kankuro all walked together laughing and talking.
A Ninja runs up to Kakashi and Gaara panting. "The bandits are here..." The ninja falls down and starts breathing hard. "Ill goo and you don't need to bother ino right now so you can tell her later that will see her soon...ok?" Kakashi asks.
Gaara nodded.
"Hai, though I must say, I'm not used to having people ordering me around. Good luck."
Gaara walked up to Akako and slipped his hand around her waist.
Kakashi smirks "Ill say sorry later...nah..." Kakashi runs off to the entrance of the village to capture the village. Once you've spotted the bandits you knocked them out sighing..."Weaklings..." Kakashi sighs walking around the village.
Ino looked back and saw no Kakashi.
"Ano, Gaara-sama? Where is Kakashi-kun? I mean, not like I care..."
Gaara smirks at ino.. "Oh don't worry he's taking care of bandits and if anything he will wonder around aimlessly for hours on end till he comes to the house he's staying at..." Gaara says walking ahead of everyone with Akako.
Ino looked down.
"Um, Guys? I think I'm just gunna go walking around for a bit. Haven't been here in a while, ya know?"
Temari smirked.
"Sure, uh-huh. Go ahead. Meet us at our house when you feel like it."
Ino bowed, and went off to find Kakashi.
'Dammit, going off like that. What an ignorant ass hole.'
Kakashi drags his feet along the street boredly looking around. At least around ino he wasn't so bored..Kakashi sighs stopping to lean on a wall.
Ino sighed defeatedly.
'Where is that stupid scarecrow? .'
~Um... should I answer?~
'NO!'
Ino continued to walk until she saw a familiar mop of natural silver hair as it had just started to rain in the night sky.
