Uwah!! sorry it was so late!!! gomen!!! got a little stuck... (sweatdrop)
Ino wiped the sweat from her brow and stretched out her limbs. "Urgh, finally done," she moaned. She glanced around the foyer that she had just finished cleaning, making sure it was satisfactory. "Hm!" she went, with a smile on her face. Then she walked to the room next door.
In the dining room, stacks of plates of all sizes, cups, tea pots, and goblets were all set out on the large table. Behind them, was Sakura, who wore a paper mask as she dusted the china cabinet.
"Don't they ever clean in here?" Ino heard Sakura mutter. "It's not impossible for dust to get in here..."
"Hey," Ino said loudly, making Sakura jump in surprise. Wow, she must have been really focused on cleaning it if she didn't notice me, the blonde thought. "I'm done cleaning my room. I'll do that little bathroom next."
The pink haired kunoichi turned around and put her free hand on her hip. "Oh, right, and leave that big kitchen for me to do," Sakura said, rolling her eyes.
Ino retorted, "Hey, I did the foyer and all those closets!"
"Yeah, and there are, what, only two small closets?"
"Alright, fine, I'll help you with the kitchen then," Ino reasoned, "but I'm still doing the bathroom."
"Whatever..."
Ino left Sakura to her dusting again and headed out the door for the bathroom. The light flickered a little when she flipped the switch. It was a very small, simple one, equipt with only a toilet, a sink, and a medicine cabinet, but...
"Eew," the blonde ninja declared, wrinkling her nose in disgust. "It smells, and there's mildew!" She opened the cabinet above the sink and said flatly, "Figures. More mold..."
She left the bathroom and trudged up the stairs. Hearing someone's voice when she got to the second floor, she stopped.
"Okay, so maybe I can get Sakura to switch places with him, and then he'll be with--"
Ino identified it as Naruto's voice, but she wondered why he was suddenly cut off. But Naruto spoke again.
"Hey, what gives, teme? AHH!"
Naruto's head appeared out from behind a doorway near Ino. "Oh, hi, Ino. Whatcha doin' up here?" he asked nervously, arousing her suspicions.
"I was going to ask Sasuke-kun if you guys have any mold remover stuff up here," Ino replied.
"Sasuke! Is there any mold cleaner stuff up here?" Naruto shouted into the doorway.
"No!" was the reply.
The blond scratched the back of his head as he thought. "Um...we don't have a bathroom up here (which is really stupid), but there's a closet in the hall, over there. You could check, but I doubt there's any in there."
"Oh. Okay." Ino walked to the closet mentioned and opened the door. "Nope...it's the linen closet."
"Yeah, figures," said Naruto. "It's mostly bedrooms up here. I can't believe there isn't a bathroom on this floor..."
Ino sighed and headed for the stairs. "I'll go up to the third floor and ask Sensei and Kakashi-san if they have any up there."
"Okay, see ya later, Ino!"
"Dobe, shut your mouth and get back in here. We have work to do."
"Bossy!"
...Third Floor...
"Mold cleaner?" Asuma repeated, stroking his beard. "I don't remember seeing any...Have you looked on the second floor?"
"Yeah, Sasuke-kun and Naruto said there wasn't any."
"What about the basement?"
"I haven't looked there yet..."
"Go look then," Asuma suggested.
What, am I supposed to be on some wild goose chase or something?!!
Already halfway down the stairs, Ino shouted, "Thanks, Sensei!"
...First Floor...
"Still haven't found whatever you're looking for?" Sakura asked, when Ino walked through the kitchen she had started cleaning.
"I'm looking for mold remover," the blonde informed, "and no, I haven't found any yet. I'm going to the basement."
She pushed open the back door and stepped out into the hot, sunny day. Ugh, wow, it's so hot! Those two lazy bums are lucky. Ino walked around one corner of the house and then walked down cement stairs that started ground level and went downwards below. She sighed. What a great temperature difference...it must be 10 degrees cooler down here than up there or something! ...okay, that's an exaggeration...
...Basement...
"Ino?" someone said in surprise when the blonde kunoichi entered.
"Hey, Shikamaru. Chouji."
"I-ino! What are you doing here?" Chouji asked.
"Oh, I'm just wondering if you guys have seen any mold remover down here."
"Uh, um, I don't...think...we've seen any so far..." the chubby boy stuttered.
"We haven't gone around the whole place yet..." Shikamaru drawled, waving his hand around, "since you can see it's pretty big..."
"...?" Ino glared at them expectantly.
"...?"
"So? GO LOOK AROUND THEN!"
"Eh?! The whole place?"
"OF COURSE!"
"How troublesome..."
...10 Minutes Later...
"I think I've found some!" Chouji exclaimed.
"Really?" Within seconds, Ino came running up to him.
"Well, there was only one bottle...and it seems like there isn't much left..." He handed a grimy, old looking bottle to his teammate, who stared at it, before taking it.
"I guess it'll do...for now..." Ino muttered. "Thanks so much, Chouji! I should have come down here first."
"Heh...bye, Ino," Chouji said as Ino went through to door to get back to the kitchen.
"Chouji...why are you blushing?"
"H-huh?"
...First Floor...
"Ha!" Ino shouted triumphantly. "I've gotten rid of you mold!!! Heh, hopefully no one else will need that mold remover stuff...that was just enough for me to use in here..."
She exited the bathroom and went to the kitchen to join Sakura.
"About time you're done!" Sakura said reproachfully.
"Well, what else have we got to do, Forehead girl?"
"Don't call me that, you pig!"
"Billboard brow!"
"You two...are worse than Naruto and me," a voice said behind them, annoyed.
The two kunoichi turned around. "Sasuke-kun?"
"What are you doing here?" Sakura asked. "Did you and Naruto finish?"
"No," said the boy. "Kakashi told me to ask someone to come with me to pick up some items…"
Sakura and Ino gasped. Ooh, Sasuke-kun has got to pick me!!! they both thought.
OHMIGOSH!! Who will Sasuke pick?!! TEH SUSPENSE!!! (shot)
