"Uh, Jack..." Ino walked into the living room slowly and cautionly. "About what happened?"

"What happened?" Jack was glued to the TV and didn't give Ino and eye contact.

"What do you mean, 'what happened'?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Jack was acting like he never saw anything and it was ticking Ino off.

"You know what happened, Jack!" Jack sighed, turned off the TV, sat up and looked at Ino.

"I don't want to talk about it Ino. I'm going to act like it never happen, and you should too." Ino looked down at her feet and said okay, walking back to her room. She didn't know why Jack got all pissy, just for her wanting to talk about it. Ino looked down at the clock, she sighed as she fell back on her bed. It was only 1:00 and she had nothing to do and she hated it. Her body, especially her legs, was extremely sore and killing her. Her headache was somewhat gone, but it was still there.

"Maybe I should just rest today." Ino yawn and closed her eyes, but was interrupted by her cell phone ringing, she hadn't heard it ring in a long time. "Hello?"

"Hey Ino its Sasori." Sasori? Why would he be calling her?

"Oh, hey Sasori."

"Um, so listen, we're planning on going on a hiking trip." Sasori paused. He voice was quieter when he spoke again. "Really, Deidara wants you to go."

"So, why didn't he just call me instead? And how did you get my number?"

"It's complicated, do you want to go or?" Ino thought about it for a moment, she had nothing better to do but she was still tired and just wanted to rest.

"I don't know Sasori." He let out a little sigh from the other end of the line. "Um, well when are you leaving?" There was a slight excitement in Sasori's tone of voice.

"Sometime today, I think. So you wanna go?" Ino let out a sigh and told him yes. "Great, um start packing your stuff and we'll go get you in a bit." And with that Sasori hung up so Ino didn't have to argue about leaving over there so soon.

"I guess," Ino threw her phone on the bed and then jumped off.

Once she finally got done packing, got dressed and fixed her hair into a high ponytail, letting her bangs fall on the right side of her face. She packed enough clothes to last her a week, she had no idea how long they were going be out there. She grabbed her bag and sleeping bag and walked into the living room to still find Jack, still lying lazily on the sofa watching TV. His eyes drifting over to Ino and took notice of her stuff.

"Going somewhere?" He asked her not getting his eyes off of the TV. Ino nodded her, thinking that he could see her.

"Hiking, with some friends." Ino peeked out the window. A black old styled mustang convertible with red seats pulled up in front of Ino's house. Her heart stopped when she saw Itachi's long black hair and she blushed formed on her face. She hadn't talked to him in a while, she looked back at Jack and told him bye and ran outside before Jack could get up to see who was picking her up.

Itachi noticed the blonde closing the door behind her as she walked down the porch. He got off to help her with her stuff. Ino kinda felt bad for leaving Jack alone in the house, he didn't look like he was really going anywhere today, this could've been the day that she finally talk to him, but she didn't realize that when she told Sasori yes, and it was already to late, since Itachi was already here to pick her up.

Ino heard the door to her house open, and then quickly close again. She swallowed and looked back. Jack was walking to his car. He was Ino looking at him, so he waved at her and Itachi.

"So that's Jack?" Itachi asked as he opened the door for Ino, she nodded and sat in the car. She realized that Jack had already been here for almost a month, she also realized she hadn't talked too many of her friends for that long either. She sighed and watched as Jack's car pulled out of the driveway and drive off.

"I haven't really talked to him since he came back; he's always leaving and coming home really late." Ino didn't really know why she was telling Itachi all of this. Even though she hadn't talked to him days, she still felt so comfortable around him. "Anyways, when did you get this car?"

"Just before I got you, I love it." Itachi lowered the radio a bit, "It's a 1972 mustang convertible."

"Wow, it's really nice." After Ino spoke the rest of the ride was quiet.

They finally pulled up in front of Itachi's house. A man with silver slicked back hair caught Inos eye first and she blushed, remembering the whole thing with Hidan. He had looked back when Itachi stopped the car, and his eyes met hers. Ino saw a devilish smile form on Hidans face. She looked away from his gaze and waited for Itachi to unlock the doors. Ino stepped out of the car and grabbed her stuff from the back seat, only to have it taken away by Itachi. He led the way into his house, not stopping to talk to any of the boys outside. Ino had looked over at Sasori and he flashed a smile before she went inside. Itachi set her stuff down on the floor next to the sofa.

"Who else is going?" Ino asked, taking notice of the three other men she had never seen before.

"Friends from the next over, this whole hiking idea were theirs." Itachi grabbed Ino by her wrist, he expected her to flinch but then realized that the bruises were probably already gone by now. "Come with me." He led her down the hallway, passing by a room with the door wide open. Ino knew it was Deidara's and she couldn't help but look in when she passed by. There were clothes spread all over his bed. She noticed the little clay sculpture of a lady lying broken on the floor. She hadn't seen Deidara yet, she wasn't really hopping on running in to him.

Itachi pulled Ino into a dark room. He closed the door behind them and Ino stood there in the darkness for awhile.

"Are you going to turn the lights on?" She asked Itachi, she couldn't see anything and had lost Itachi in the darkness. A hand on her shoulder made Ino jump, but she calmed down when she realized it was Itachi. She felt his face get closer to her neck, his warm breath on her ear made her shiver.

"Nope." Itachi whispered in her ear. He gently bit down on the blonde girl's ear, making Ino squeal in surprise. "Where did you run off to last night?" Ino's eyes widened. "I wanted you too stay with me, but when I came back you were no longer here." Itachi told her in a sad playful tone. He kissed her neck, "Well, where did you go?" Ino didn't know how to respond, she couldn't tell him she left with Hidan. He would know they had sex!

"Uhm," Ino was cut off by Hidan swinging open Itachi's door. "Oh my god, I don't know if I should be happy that he came in or freaked out." Light shined in the room from the open door, just enough for Hidan to see Itachi and Ino standing in the middle of the room. He was a little taken back by finding them in the darkness, just standing there.

"What is it Hidan?" Hidan's eyes were focused on Ino; she didn't look up at him. Itachi saw him looking at her and moved to block his view.

"Oi, where are your keys?" Hidan leaned against the door frame, with his arms crossed on his chest.

"Why?"

"I gotta go somewhere really quick." Itachi sighed and threw Hidan his old car keeps, not thrusting him with his new car. "Thanks." Hidan slammed the door and walked away. The room was eaten by the darkness again. Ino heard Itachi sigh, she stayed staring to where she thought he was still standing but he had made his way to her again, without making a sound. His hand lifted up her chin, he lips met hers and she melt into the soft kiss. Itachi pulled away and led Ino to his bed.

"So, I opened up the shop."

"Candy shop?"

"Yep, would you like to be my assistant manger?"

"I don't know, depends on how much the job pays?" Ino giggled. Itachi smiled and kissed her cheek, all the way until his lips were near her ear.

"Being with me should be enough payment for you." Ino's heart skipped a beat when she heard Itachi say that. Being with him? What did he mean by that?

"When are we leaving?" Ino asked quickly changing the subject. Itachi lied back on his bed, using his arms as a pillow.

"Three or four." Ino searched the room for a clock but failed to find one. She took out her phone and it was already 3:30. "In the morning." Itachi finished his sentence.

Three or four in the morning? So, then why did Sasori want her to come so early if they weren't going to leave until the morning? "Looks like you're going to be staying her tonight." Ino didn't say anything. She didn't feel right being around Itachi after what happened between herself and Hidan. Ino's legs were still somewhat sore, but thankfully her headache went away.

Itachi soon grew bored of just sitting in darkness and silence, so he thought he might try and spice things up for Ino. Since he knew something was troubling her. He pulled out his phone and played some music, throwing his phone on the other side of the bed. He jumped off the bed and stood in front of Ino. He slammed his lips against hers, in shock Ino fell back on the bed, Itachi followed trying not to break the kiss. Ino wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer to her. Itachi climbed back on the bed, to where he was on top of her. His hands wandered up and down her body, trying to find a good place to leave them. Ino's mouth opened, giving Itachi a chance to rush his tongue in. It danced all around her mouth, Ino let out small moans. Itachi's right hand snuck under shirt, caressing her breast. Ino's fingers fiddled with Itachi's long hair. Itachi had broken away from the kiss, panting for some air. Ino took this as a chance to take off his shirt, revealing his tanned, toned chest and rock hard abs, to bad she couldn't see them, but the feel was amazing. Her hands explored his chest, abs, and back as she ran her finger tips up and down them, giving Itachi Goosebumps. His whole body shook at her touch.

"You're turn." Itachi told her. He grinned and pulled off Ino's shirt before she could even sit up. Itachi's blanket was made a silk and felt great against Ino's bare back.

Ino knew where this was going to go, and she didn't know if she wanted it. Well she DID, but she was still sore from last night. Itachi kissed her neck, sucking and biting, making small moans escape from Ino's mouth. He trailed down Ino's body, kissing her chest and making his way down to her stomach, stopping when he made it to her hip bones. He let his tongue glide from one hip bone to the other. Itachi looked up at Ino, even though he couldn't see her face.

There was a knock on Itachi's door, he ignored it at first and continued teasing Ino by gliding his tongue over her body. Another knock on the door, and Itachi let out a frustrated sigh, but continued to ignore it. Only until he heard the knob turn, he focused on it. Itachi quickly grabbed the blanket and covered Ino's exposed body parts.

"You know when I don't answer the first time I'm busy," Itachi walked over to the door and it swung open, almost hitting him.

"You can never be to busy for me!" A very tall man with spiky blue hair walked into Itachi's room. His hand searched the wall next to him, and the lights flickered on. "You just walked right passed me when you got back," the man noticed Ino, when she hid under the blanket when the lights turned on. "Ah, I see why not." He laughed, and walked out of the room, but stood at the door way. "I'll leave you two alone," He turned to walk away. "Don't forget about me Itachi!" The man yelled out down the hall. Itachi sighed and pinch the bride of his nose, turning back to face Ino, who was hiding under the sheets.

"You can come out now, he's gone." Itachi shut the door and then turned off the lights before Ino got her head out of the blanket. Ino pouted when the room got dark again. Itachi got under the sheets with Ino; she smiled and cuddled up next to him, resting her head on his chest. Itachi ran his fingers through her long blonde hair; he soon realized Ino had fallen asleep.


"Ino, wake up." Her baby blue eyes flurtted open, shocking Itachi but it didn't show on his face. The room was still dark; Ino hadn't realized she had fallen asleep. "Good morning," Ino heard Itachi's voice but couldn't see his face.

"Where are you?" Ino waved her hand around, hitting Itachi in the face. "Oh, sorry." Ino laughed. "How long was I asleep for?"

"A few hours, I thought I'd let you sleep a little, we'll be up all night." Itachi grinned and lied beside Ino. What did he mean by they were going to be up all night? Ino shrugged it off and looked for her phone in the mess of a blanket. She then noticed that her bra was taken off.

"Where's my bra?" She asked, the room fell quiet and it took awhile before Itachi could answer.

"I got bored, and wanted to know what they looked like without it." Itachi said coolly and calmly. "Thought I should get a sneak peek on what belongs to me." He paused for a moment. "You have a hickey there." Itachi's tone went emotionless. Ino's eyes got wide; she didn't know what to say. She didn't even realize she had one there. "And it's not from me." Itachi's tone of voice sent a chill down Ino's spine, giving her goosebumps. Ino didn't speak, only because she didn't know what to say. "Where did you go last night?" His voice was demanding, but Ino didn't say anything. "Who were you fucking?" Ino flinched at the word 'fucking' just with the way it came out of Itachi's voice, cold and emotionless.

"I-I went home." Ino stuttered out.

"Who did you go with?" Ino swallowed, she didn't know what to say. But Itachi was already mad even though he didn't show it.

"You don't know him." Ino flinched when Itachi made a 'tsk' noise and then sat up. "Why should it even matter? You hadn't talked to me in days." Ino sat up and made her way off his bed. "You never showed up to class, and my phone was taken away." Ino paused and embraced herself for what she was about to say. "As, as far as I know…I'm single." Itachi jumped off his bed and grabbed Ino's wrist and pulled her closer to him.

"It matters to me because he took your innocence." Itachi's words were cold in her ears. Ino couldn't look at him, even with the lights off; she couldn't bear to meet his stare that was piercing through her. Ino's eyes started to water, and tiny sobs escape her mouth. She held her free hand to it, trying to block away the sound. "He took the best part of you away." Itachi let go of her wrist, she fell to her knees covering her face with both hands, silently sobbing.

"It was a drunken mistake!" Ino managed to get out, a little more loudly then she wanted though. Itachi cringed at her yell, sighing he looked to the ground where in way, although he couldn't see her, he felt her presences there. It didn't feel right; she didn't feel right fighting with Itachi. It made her sick in her stomach; she swore it made her want to puke.

Itachi stayed quiet. "I'm sorry, Itachi." Ino searched the floor for her clothes. She finally found them, put her bra on quickly and then her shirt. She stood up, wiped the tears from her face and made her way out the door. Itachi didn't bother stopping her; he was just lost in a daze. Ino didn't know where to go from there, she just wanted to go home, but she had no ride back. She sighed and leaned on the wall, she heard movement coming from the room next to Itachi's, Deidara's room. Maybe she could talk to him, maybe he could just give her a ride home but she didn't want to seem like a bother, so she just stood there in silence, waiting for something that was never going to happen.

Deidara, heard small sobs coming from the hallway, he poked his head out the door and saw Ino leaning against the wall, crying.

"Ino?" Deidara stepped out of his room, and placed a hand on her shoulder. She looked at him, her eyes still leaking water.

"Deidara…" She said softly then started to cry harder.

"W-what happened? You don't look so good." Ino shook her head."Come on, let's go in my room." Deidara guided her to his room, Itachi was just coming out of his room when Deidara was about to close the door. He shot Itachi a dirty look; Itachi didn't look his way and just walked right passed him.

Ino stood in the middle of Deidara's room, dazed out, looking at the ground. Deidara walked up to her and cupped her face in his hands, picking her face up so he could look at her.

"What happened?"

"Can you just take me home?" Ino told him, not looking him in the eye.

"I would, but I don't have my car right now." Ino sighed, "You're stuck here until the morning when we leave."

"Deidara, open the door." Itachi's emotionless voice shot right through Ino. Deidara didn't move. "Open it now." Itachi's voice was more demanding now. Deidara still didn't budge. Ino took a deep breath and walked over to the door, only to be stopped by Deidara. She looked at him for a moment, and he pulled her back by her wrist. He wrapped his free arm around in waist, pulling her closer to him. His lips met hers, Ino didn't bother to pull away, she kinda like the way Deidara's lips felt against his.

Deidara parted the kiss a few seconds later, letting Ino. She stood in shock for a second and Itachi's voice brought her back to reality. "This has nothing to do with you, Deidara. Stay out of it." Deidara made a face and turned around letting Ino open the door.

Ino took in another long breath and sighed it out. She opened the door and there stood, a very not happy looking Uchiha boy with his arms crossed against his chest. His dark emotionless eyes shot through Ino like a bullet, reminding her of Itachi's younger brother on that day. She flinched at his stare; it was like he was just looking right through her. Itachi's eyes flashed from Ino to Deidara who was trying to mind his own business by putting away his clothes. His eyes went back to Ino's light crystal like eyes. He sighed and pinched the bridge on his nose, closing his eyes and looking away from Ino's heartbreaking look. He walked away signaling Ino to follow him back to his room.

Itachi flickered on the lights and Ino finally got to see what his room look like. It wasn't plain but it also wasn't much decorated either. The walls were painted black with red trim, his bed was king sized, covered in black silk, he had a very knickknacks around the room, and a picture of his family when he was young and his parents were still alive, the one picture that caught Ino eye was the one on his night stand, it was of him and Sasuke and he was carrying Sasuke on his back and Sasuke was crying.

Ino stood there as Itachi paced back and forth in his room, rubbing his temples. She felt her heart sink when Itachi stopped moving, and immediately looked at her. She took a step back, and he walked towards her then stopped about two feet away from her.

"Hidan," Itachi said under his breath. Ino's eyes widened and her heart busted, leaving her feeling breathless, dizzy and sick to her stomach again. Itachi didn't have to look up at Ino; just hearing her grow quiet was enough he needed to get the story straight. The room fell silent, Ino didn't dare to speak. "Hmph, karma is a bitch." Ino looked up at Itachi in confusion. What did he mean by that? He looked up at her then looked away. "I don't even know why I got mad; I left that night to go fuck some other chick anyways." Ino's eyes widened and she took another step back in shock, but calmed herself down. "And you're right, you were single." Ino didn't quite get where Itachi was going with this. "And I hadn't even asked you to stay before I left; I didn't even talk to you that whole night." Itachi sighed, and started pacing back and forth again. Ino was in shock, she never really heard Itachi talk this much at one time.

"You're jealous." Ino spat out. Itachi froze and looked at her. "You're jealous that you couldn't take my virginity, and someone else did." Itachi didn't say anything he looked away, and thought for a moment.

Was she right? Was he just jealous that, that happened? He didn't even know, he had no clue. He didn't know why he really got mad over it. Itachi shook his head to get the thought away from him.

Ino took a step closer to him, stopping when his eyes met hears.

"Why do I even care about this little girl? I'm Itachi Uchiha; I can get anyone I want!" Itachi looked away from her gaze. Ino took the step back again when she heard his voice pop into her head. "Why am I even letting this bother me, FUCK?" Before Itachi could look up, Ino was already making her way out the door.

"Where are you going?" He asked her before she got the chance to open the door. She didn't say anything, because she had no idea where she was going to go. Itachi walked to her and took her hand off the knob, leading her back to his bed. He pushed her back into the bed and placed his hips against hers, holding on to her hips with his hands. "I'm sorry…" Itachi had finally swallowed his pride; he placed his hand on her cheek and kissed her. Ino hesitated at first but kissed back. Kissing two guys in less then 10 minutes, what the fuck was her problem? Itachi broke away from the kiss and whispered in Ino's ear. "I know he kissed you." Ino froze. "It better be the last time, because from now on, you're mine. Only mine." Ino couldn't make heads or tails of the way Itachi's tone of voice was. It was demanding, and serious but also emotionless and cold. "Do you understand that?" Itachi kissed his way to her neck, nibbling and sucking. Ino let out small moans of joy and pleasure. He left a big red mark on the side of her neck, grinning as he went in to make another. He pushed his hips harder into hers, letting his hands wonder freely around her body.

Another moan escaped Ino's mouth when Itachi's hand wondered in her shirt and massaged her breast. He managed to pull off her shirt, revealing the hickey Hidan had left her just above her left breast. Ino quickly covered her upper body with her shirt, when the door opened. Itachi stood in front of her making sure whoever walked in didn't see his shirtless prize.

"Oh, geez." A man called out. Ino couldn't move to see who it was. "Learn to lock your fucking door Itachi!" But Ino knew the voice. Hidan walked in and closed the door behind him and leaned against Itachi dresser. Ino quickly tried to put on her shirt, and Itachi made sure Hidan didn't see her shirtless. "Don't worry I've already seen-"

"Don't fucking finish that sentence." Itachi hissed at him and Hidan laughed at him. The nerve of him to just to walk in, and stay there when he knew exactly what was going on. Ino tugged at the back of Itachi's shirt but Itachi didn't move. "You're acting like I'm going to fucking rape her, calm down." He was already getting on Itachi's last nerve.

"What do you want Hidan?" Hidan straightened up and Itachi moved back pressing Ino closer to his bed.

"There's been a change in plan," Hidan face the door. "We're going to leave within the next hour or so." He slammed the door when he left. Itachi sighed and turned to face Ino.

"Looks like you're going to have to cut this short. I still need to pack." Ino nodded her. Itachi kissed her forehead and picked her up, placing her on his bed while he went to pack.

Ino stared at the long haired Uchiha boy as he looked through his clothed and dressers looking for clothes, and she couldn't help but smile. He was hers,

Well, at least that's what she thought.
