Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto. One Piece belongs to Oda Eiichiro. I am not profiting from any of this.
This is probably the last thing I'm gonna write for this. Yup. This was honestly for my own entertainment but if other people enjoy it, then that's great! So yeah, if the characters are weird or out of character... Well. It is what it is. Thanks for reading this.
Ino and Hidan's Amazing Adventure Log!
Day 1
Today, I woke up to someone screaming and throttling me. When I opened my eyes, it was Hidan!
"WAKE UP, BLONDE BITCH!"
"Wuh?" Ino formed her very coherent answer.
"It's not 'wuh,' it's 'WHAT THE FUCK AND WHERE THE FUCK ARE WE?!'" Hidan continued to scream.
Ino tried to clear her head, fighting off the dizzying sensation of being violently shaken. She looked around her and saw the man she tried to kill and no one else.
"What's going on?" she asked.
"THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING YOU!"
"Stop screaming at me. I don't know what's going on."
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH-"
Hidan was so angry, he almost popped a blood vessel and wouldn't stop screaming for a very long time. Then he fell asleep. I slept too.
Day 4
"Are you feeling calmer now, Hidan?"
"NO-"
"I don't want to talk to you when you're screaming."
"FINE, THEN DON'T TALK TO ME!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Look, we don't know where we are, what's going on, what happened. We should put our heads together to figure this shit out."
We concluded we are somewhere far from home. Somewhere no one will find us. We're alone on a small island. There's no one but us and small animals. We're not sure what to do.
Day 5
We set up base at the center of the island. There's a lot of plants and animals and insects to eat. A little walk and there's a river with fresh water.
Hidan yelled nonsense the entire day. But at least he's not yelling at me anymore. Just at literally everything else.
We tested our chakra. It's feels muted and it's hard to use. But we can still pull off basic techniques and manipulations. Maybe with some practice, we'll get better.
The plants and animals don't have chakra. I didn't tell Hidan. It might make him angrier and I fear for his blood pressure.
Day 11
"Hidan, let's cloud watch together," Ino requested the violent man to partake in a very nonviolent activity.
"Why the fuck should I do that?"
"Because my friend used to do it and I'd join him sometimes."
"What's that gotta do with me?"
"You're the only person here, so I thought-"
"No, stop bothering me. Ya know what? I should just kill you."
"Why haven't you?"
"..."
Hidan went very silent and stomped off to the northern section of the island. He came back at night to sleep at the base.
Day 14
"We should make a raft or somethin' and get off this fucking shithole," Hidan suggested. He shielded his eyes with one hand and gazed as far as he could out into the open sea. It was water forever.
"Which direction will we go?" Ino asked.
"Doesn't matter. As long as it takes us away from here."
We never did make a raft. We only talked about it. I think Hidan's just as scared as I am. Who knows what could happen out there.
Day 16
We saw a giant eel-thing pop out in the distance. Wherever we are, the ocean is dangerous.
Day 23
"Hidan, look at this fruit. Isn't it kinda cool?" Ino showed him a swirly fruit. It was weird looking.
"No, it looks fucking disgusting. Where'd you find this?" Hidan asked.
"It was growing out of the Bitter Red fruit tree. Weird, right?"
"More like freaky."
"Let's eat it. I bet it tastes like something otherworldly!"
"FUCK NO, THROW THAT SHIT OUT!"
Hidan took the fruit and chucked it out into the sea. We never saw it ever again. Goodbye, mystery fruit. You shall be missed.
Day 31
Sometimes, Hidan tries to kill me.
"COME BACK HERE!"
"No!"
"IT'S REVENGE TIME, BITCH!"
"NO!"
He never does.
Day 38
"I'm sick of eating the same thing everyday," Hidan complained. He didn't whine. Nope, not at all.
"Me too."
"..."
"... Wanna go fishing?"
We made a small raft thing. It took us a bit since we're not master boat builders. We'll take it out tomorrow.
Day 39
We forgot to make spears and baskets. We spent the entire day carving and weaving and getting into a water fight. I had so much fun! I hope Hidan did too.
Day 40
"Oy, Ino, watch this. I'm gonna get that bright orange fucker over there."
"Good luck! I really do hope you get it."
"Quiet! I'm concentrating!"
Hidan caught the orange fish. It was the size of my hand. When we tried to cook it, it immediately caught fire and burned away. The fish here are elusive and oily. We'll try again next time!
Day 47
The weather doesn't change very often.
"Do you think the roof will survive this time?"
"Dunno."
"Should we fix it right now?"
"You can. I'm staying here."
"Maybe when the storm dies down, we should reinforce the roof and the walls and the flooring."
"Maybe."
When it does, it's destructive. It's kinda scary, but at least I'm not alone.
Day 52
The storm left the island this morning. We couldn't go out very much during the storm. Hidan and I are both very tired and hungry.
"What's that in the distance?"
"Looks like… a whale."
"I've never seen a whale before."
"Me neither. Just in some book a long time ago."
"Whale looks cute."
We were too tired to take a closer look at the whale. I hope it comes to visit another time.
Day 59
"I've been studying the waves," Ino began that afternoon.
"So?"
"Well, I've concluded there are no waves."
"What?"
"Yeah, weird right?"
"WHAT?!"
Hidan didn't believe me. When he came back from the base, he looked confused.
"That's not how oceans work," he came back muttering.
Day 64
"It's been approximately 64 days since we first woke up here."
"You were counting?"
"Yup! And I think our homebase needs a name."
"I think not. The Base is good enough."
"Don't be such a spoilsport, Hidan. I'm bored out of my mind. Humor me. PLEASE."
"FINE, JUST STOP WHINING!"
"Okay! I suggest 'Ino and Hidan's Beautiful Watchtower Mansion.'"
"DENIED!"
"Okay, I suggest 'Ino and Hidan's Wonderful Lookout Mansion Version Two!'"
"NO!"
"Fine, I suggest 'Ino and Hidan's-"
"STOP IT WITH THAT, HOLY SHIT!"
We decided on The Castle. I still like to call it 'Ino and Hidan's Treetop Friendship Castle.' But only when I'm alone. Hidan looked like he'll have an aneurysm when he heard it.
Day 68
"Hey, Hidan," Ino began.
"Whut," Hidan replied from above. He was sprawled over a tree trunk, lazing about. At that moment, he reminded Ino of someone she loved. Someone who wasn't there.
"Do you think there's other people like us here?"
"Whatcha mean?"
"Like, I'm pretty we died. I used a super secret Yamanaka technique, and it's categorized as a suicide move."
"And?" Hidan raised a brow, his eyes peering down at the girl.
"Well, since we ended up here after we died, do you think other people who died are somewhere out there? On another island?"
Hidan jerked up suddenly, surprising Ino. His eyes were now wide and alert. Ino could see thoughts and theories and hopes flashing behind them.
"Could be," he muttered before whipping his head around to face Ino. "We gotta get off this god forsaken dump."
Day 80
We spent a lot of our days studying the stars and making improvements to our rafts. We also studied the flight patterns of visiting birds. Unfortunately, neither of us are smart. We ended up with a lot of data with no conclusion.
We did make a cool boat though.
Day 93
"Okay, let's test this fucker."
"Okay, let's go!"
Our beautiful boat didn't live a long life. It sank right as it touched the water.
"THE HELL?!"
Day 131
We finally figured out what went wrong with the boat. The wood we used on it reacts weirdly to salt water. We're not intellectuals, so we don't know exactly why. Just that it is.
Day 148
"Hidan, look!" Ino shouted as she held up a fruit. It was another weird swirly fruit.
"Let's really eat it this ti-" Before Ino could even finish her sentence, Hidan sent it flying.
Day 175
"Do you think there's land besides here?"
"Dunno."
"Or if there's other people at all besides us?"
"Dunno."
"Oh! What if-"
"CAN YOU SHUT THE HELL UP?! I'M TRYIN' TA SLEEP!"
Day 176
Ino was oddly silent and blank-faced that morning. It was such a sudden shift from her usual asshattery that Hidan felt uneasy.
"Oy, what's with you today?" he confronted her after prepping himself up for a few minutes.
"Hm? I've just been thinking," she said.
"About?" he prodded.
"Weeell, I've been thinking you don't have a surname."
"Why are you even thinking about that?"
"You know, my daddy gave me my name. Yamanaka Ino! Isn't it nice?"
"?" Hidan wasn't sure where she was going with this.
"Ino is me and Yamanaka is my family. Inoichi is my daddy. Rei, Fu, Santa, Inari, Yato… They're my cousins. Everyone's a Yamanaka, and I'm a part of them!"
"Uh, yeah so?"
"But you don't have that. So! I want to ask you, do you want a surname?"
"No? Instead of thinking about shit like this, why don't you use whatever brain power you got to getting us out of here."
"Alrighty then!" Ino smiled bright and wide, standing up from her perch. She skipped toward the river to fill up their water pouches.
"Ah," Ino turned around to address Hidan once more. "But if you ever want to be a part of the Yamanaka, then I'll happily share my name with you!" She turned around and left Hidan by himself. He was too shocked and baffled by the conversation that just took place.
Day 178
"What if I kill you?" Hidan asked.
"Then I die. Don't you know people die when you kill them?" Ino was perplexed by his question.
"THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEAN!"
"Don't be mean and go yelling at me!"
"YOU- AREGH-! I mean, if you share your name or whatever, but then I kill you sometime in the future, or like, I dunno, what will you do?"
"I'd be too dead to do anything."
"I'M ASKING HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION!"
"Hahaha! You're so funny, Hidan! I'm so glad we got to be friends here, though the situation is far from ideal."
"JUST ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION."
"I'd be sad."
Perhaps Ino's answer was not what Hidan expected. What did he even expect? Anger? Betrayal? The urge to kill him? Honestly, he wasn't expecting much. He learned not to expect anything from people (but it never stopped him from hoping).
"I decided a long time ago. That if someone I love happens to hurt me in some way, I wouldn't begrudge them for it. Not all friendships last forever. So I'll look fondly at the times we spent together and we'll take our own paths. Of course, in this hypothetical situations, I'd be dead."
"... But you'd have shared your name with me."
"True, but it's not like every single clansmen get along with each other."
"I don't think these two relationships are comparable."
Hidan asked strange questions and when I answered with my best answers, he went silent and left me. How rude! To just leave me after yelling like that.
Day 181
"Hey, Hidan, check this out!" Ino exclaimed excitedly to her companion. Hidan looked up from the spears he was sharpening.
"Whut." Ino didn't mind his unamused tone and face. He was usually like that, so it didn't bother her anymore.
She grinned before demonstrating a water release. Namely, the Water Dragon Bullet.
"HOLY SHI-"
Ino, in her moment of elation, had forgotten the effects of the technique and nearly washed Hidan far off the island.
Hidan wasn't very happy with what happened, but he didn't chase me for long. He got to stretching his hands and fingers and practicing whatever justsus he knows of. Then he pulled me under and buried me up to my neck. And proceeded to kick dirt and dust in my face and laugh. So not cool!
I got back at him, so it's all good. We slept an entire day after playing for too long. Chakra exhaustion is no joke!
Day 196
"HIDAAAAAAAAAN!"
"WHAAAAAAAAAT?!"
"COME HEERREEEEEE!"
"WHAT!? WHAT DO YOU WANT!?"
"Someone landed on our island!"
"Hidan, have you calmed down now?" Ino asked when she noticed Hidan was no longer pursuing her.
"... Yes."
"Yay! Now let's go talk to those polite pirates!"
"Hello, Mr. Pirates!" Ino cheered as she stepped back out onto the beach.
"Hello there, little lady!" Shanks greeted. "Name's Shanks. You?"
"My name is Yamanaka Ino! Hidan introduce yourself," she nudged her friend. Hidan scoffed before obliging.
"Hidan… It's… Yamanaka Hidan. DON'T FORGET THAT, YA HEAR!?" Hidan didn't meet Ino's eyes. If he did, he would've seen true joy.
"Oh, you two siblings? Don't look alike though. I'm Yasopp," the bandana man said.
"It's okay! Not all family look like each other!" Ino barrelled forward. She was just too happy.
"So, you two have been on this island for almost 200 days?" Benn asked.
"Today marks the 196th day since we woke up," Ino provided. "By the way, can I have some papers and some pens? I've kept a diary in my head since the first day. I wanna write them all down."
"You remember all that?" Roo asked.
"Yup! My memory is really good!"
"How are you still so dumb?" Hidan grouched under his breath. Ino didn't pay it any mind even if the pirates sent a look his way.
"So do you have any I can have?" she asked again.
"Ah, yeah."
"Dumbass! Ask the important questions first!" Hidan scolded.
"This is important!"
"NO!" Hidan turned toward the red haired man. "You're the captain, yeah? Give us a lift out of here."
"What if I say no?" Shanks didn't plan on denying them. He was only joking, really. Hidan gave him a really dead look.
"You're going to say no to this face?" Hidan questioned as he pulled Ino in front of Shanks' face. Before his eyes, Shanks saw a young woman with deep deep eyes yet to be broken down by the harsh realities she's faced. A smile that hoped for the best in everyone, believing the best in everyone.
Shanks couldn't say no to that.
Benn Beckman could be counted on to keep a level head. Even in the face of that Yamanaka girl.
"You really didn't feel anything after seeing her face? That painfully optimistic and hopeful face?" Shanks bothered Benn about the girl on their ship.
He sighed, "Let's just hope it's not an act. Also, their circumstance is quite strange, don't you think?"
"How so?"
"Well, from what I can piece going by what they told me, they were on opposite sides in a war."
"Yeah?"
"Yes, and they ended up battling to the death. And they woke up alone on that island. Now they're good friends. Don't you think that's at least a little odd?"
"Mmm, nah~. They're here. Their war's not here. There's no reason to fight. And they seem to get along fine. Looks like there's no personal grudges between them. In fact, they're like family now!"
"Hm, yeah."
"What's that ya got there?" Hidan noticed Ino diligently working on something.
"Hehehe, Ta Da~!" Ino proudly held up the journal she'd been binding. In big bold letters, the cover read 'Ino and Hidan's Amazing Adventure Log.'
"Ino, I need you to burn that."
"No!"
"INOOOOOOO!"
It was a very lively start to the day.
"Well, here you are! The nearest island with civilization! Honestly, you two were really unlucky to wake up on an uninhabited island on the verge of the Calm Belt. Really unlucky," Yasopp mentioned once the two visiting passengers jumped off.
"Thank you, Mr. Pirates! I had so much fun talking to someone besides Hidan!"
"What's that supposed to mean?!
"It means-"
"Ah, let's not fight on our parting day," Shanks cut the incoming shouts before it could start. "What's your plan now that you're not stranded?"
"We're going to find our friends," Ino said.
"If there are any," Hidan tacked on.
"It might take forever. We might never find anyone, but it's something to do."
"Well, then I wish you two the best of luck. Maybe we'll meet each other again sometime."
And that was so long to the two bizarre strangers.
"Aah, everybody, take a look at this!" Yasopp came down from the nest after paying the News Coo bird.
"What's up?" Everyone on deck were curious.
"Check out these new bounties!"
In his hands, Yasopp held two bounty posters. One for Hidan the Reaper and another for Guillotine Ino.
"Seems like they're doing well!"
