In the previous chapter of Konoha Coast Academy:
Ino found herself on top of Gaara, their faces inches apart. She didn't seem to remember getting in this particular position, but everything seemed like a blur to her when she was angry. "Sorry." She blushed, staring at him.

Gaara blinked. "Whatever." He felt Ino's weight being lifted off of him, and was now able to sit up. "I'll see you tomorrow Ino." He mumbled softly, closing his laptop and walking out of the dorm silently.
Ino sighed, and heard a beep on her laptop indicating that she had mail. She opened the email.
Ino darling,
Your mother and I are going to be taking a job offering in Shanghai for a year, and there's just the most darling little boarding school there, we would like to know if you would like to join us there. Of course this is entirely up to you pumpkin, we'll support you with either choice. Take as long as you need to decide, but we'd appreciate it darling if you could make up your mind before the New Year, because we plan on moving Jan. 2nd, and need some time to pick you up from Konoha Coast Academy if you choose to come along. The schools name is Saint Vixens School, so if you would like to look it up, then you'll have all that you need on google.
XOXO
Mama and Baba

December 25 12:00 noon, KCA campus.
Ino, Tenten, Gaara, Kankuro, Sasuke, Neji, and Shikamaru sat at the lunch court tables. Ino hadn't told anyone about her possible move, but had looked up SVS on the internet. She was taken away by everything that she had seen, the absolutely adorable uniforms, though she was disappointed that she might go from any kind of wear, to uniform, but it helped that they were cute, a huge high-class campus, and the cutest dorms ever.
Tenten was dressed in skinny jeans, a red thin sweatshirt, and blue converse, her hair tied into a messy bun, sitting in a chair, and her feet on the table. She heard a noise come from behind and whirled around to see Naruto and Kin, hand in hand, walking up to the group. "Kin! Naruto! What are you doing here?!" she exclaimed.
Kin dropped Naruto's hand to give a hug to her best friends. "I'll tell you later." She promised, a huge smile cemented on her face. She returned to Naruto's side, and he gave her a big bear hug.
"Merry Christmas you two!" Ino smiled, and couldn't help but notice that Kin was wearing Naruto's KCA sweatshirt, along with her own skinny jeans and Etines, her raven-black hair loose. She herself was sporting a blue sweatshirt, grey skinny jeans, and blue flats, her hair tied in a ponytail.
Gaara and Neji both blinked. "I wondered where he went." Gaara murmured a little louder than he had probably intended, causing the entire group, including Shikamaru and Neji, to break into laughter. All the boys were dressed in their normal clique attire, skater. This outbreak caused Gaara to frown, and he stood up. "I'll be back, I'm going to go get a super cookie." He mumbled, pulling 75 cents from his pocket.
Ino turned to her friends. "Guys…." She whispered. "My parents are moving to Shanghai, China, and…they want to know if I should go with them…"she confessed, deciding to tell Gaara later.
Kin's jaw dropped. "What? No! You can't! Stay!" she could only manage small sentences at the moment.
"Kin, calm down. They said the choice was up to me." Ino explained, tucking a loose piece of hair behind her ear. "I'm still trying to decide…" she stood up and walked away.

2 days later, December 27th 1:00 PM
All of the little friendship group that the teens had seem to make had gathered in the arcade room, except for Ino, who had an unknown reason not to come.
"Do you really think she's gonna leave?" Tenten asked the group, hopeful that someone would say 'no.'
Gaara blinked. "Ino's leaving?" he was still unaware of what the blonde had told her friends on the previous holiday.
Naruto raised an eyebrow, Kin in his arms, the same expression on her face as well. "You didn't know?" he asked curiously in disbelief.
Gaara shook his head. "Uh. No." he replied blankly, scratching his head.
"Ino's mom and dad are moving to Shanghai, and they wanted to know if she wanted to tag along and enroll in Saint Vixens School, a nearby boarding school." Kin informed, leaning back on Naruto's chest.
Gaara seemed to show no emotion, but on the inside, he was boiling with anger, confusion, and for a reason that troubled him, pain. "Oh. And she didn't bother to tell me?"
Kankuro shrugged. "I guess she forgot…"he chuckled, which earned him a slap on the head from Tenten.
"Oh." Gaara's disappointment showed. He rose from his seat and headed to the door.
"Where are you going?" Tenten asked softly, with some care in her voice.
Kankuro felt a pang of jealousy from the voice Tenten had directed at his younger brother. He had no idea why though.
"Back to my room, I'll see you guys later…dinner…" Gaara replied tonelessly before exiting.
A few minutes after Gaara had left, Ino entered. "Hey guys! Where's Gaara, I kinda need to talk to him." She asked, in an urgent tone.
"Why?" Kin asked curiously, curling her fingers with Naruto's.
"Oh…it's about the boarding school thing. Kin, Tenten, come here for a second, okay?" Ino asked, waving them over to speak in private.
The two girls rose, and walked over to their friend, waiting for a response. "Yeah?" Kin asked.
"Well…I'm asking Gaara…because his opinion means the most to me…"Ino confessed. "We have practically every class together…and we've grown close as friends…I didn't tell him yet…I was waiting for later to tell him…" she bit her bottom lip. "Have any idea where he is?" she asked.
Tenten nodded. "'Course, Gaara's in his dorm." She replied, and then watched the blonde girl sprint out of the arcade room. When she and Kin resumed their positions, the boys asked what Ino had said, and Kin…not being able to resist, replied.
"She cares about Gaara's opinion the most, she was planning on telling him now." Kin seemed disappointed in herself.

Gaara was typing on his laptop, sitting on the couch when he heard a knock at the door. "Come in." he murmured, his eyes locked on the door to see who it was who entered.
Ino entered, she seemed nervous; she was biting down on her bottom lip softly. "Hey Gaara." She greeted softly in a shaky voice.
"Ino." Gaara didn't seem too thrilled to see her, but then and again, he never did.
"Gaara, my parents are moving to Shanghai, and there's a boarding school there-"
"When are you leaving?" Gaara asked, getting up, setting his laptop on a coffee table.
Ino winced back in pain. "Wh-what?" she felt a lump in her throat. "Is that all you have to say?" she was trying to get more out of him, she didn't know what, but she was trying.
"What more is there to say?" Gaara's voice seemed bitter. "Go for it Ino."
Ino was now fully convinced that he didn't care, and she seemed hurt. "Fine." She whirled around, and stalked out of the room, the door slamming behind her.
Gaara watched the door for a few moments, wondering what it was he had just done, and closed his eyes, deep in thought. 'What's wrong Gaara. It's like you don't want her to leave…'

Chibi: Alright! It's seemed that we've passed the NaruKin problem and moved on to the GaaraIno problem. Whoopee. This is a really long chapter compared to the others. I hoped you enjoyed it! Please review.
