Morning came quickly, thank Kami. Noctula had to leave. The entire day was without her. By midnight, I was worried. I had every reason to as well. Noctula stumbled up the drive way, made it to the door and rang the bell. From there it went downhill. Daesung got the door and he yelled for G-D.

"Oh my...G-D! I need help here!" Daesung yelled and we all looked at each other once and ran for the door.

"How bad is it?" I asked Daesung quietly while TOP and G-D set Noctula on the couch. He was a little bit shaken at her condition.

"Terrible. It hurts everywhere for her." He said and I hugged him. I felt his pain and I helped him lay a mat down near the couch for himself. He was becoming her personal care-taker. Great. Not that I'm not grateful, but Kami. He must like or feel something to be like this.

"She trusts him, Ino." G-D said, coming from behind me and I sighed. I turned to him and shook my head.

"We aren't used to men helping us. Except for my brother, Tenten's elder brother and Temari's cousin, Sasori. Having Daesung help us with Noctula is something new. By the way, how did you know what I was thinking?" I asked him, suddenly suspicious.

"You spoke softly to yourself but I read your lips." He explained softly and I color slightly. "He trusts her as well. Trust is a two way street you know." Wrapped in his arms was comforting but I backed out of the embrace. I shook my head once more.

"Not for us and men. Men try to get us to trust them and then the turn on us." Sorrow was evident in my voice and G-D hugged me once again. "They use us and leave us alone over and over again. It hurts to know that happens."

G-D didn't say anything. He held me tightly and I soon fell asleep to the scent of his cologne and his voice telling TOP and Daesung he would do anything to help us from now on. I smiled and slipped into the comforting black which I called sleep. It was midnight when I woke up again. I heard voices down the hall and figured I find who it was. It turned to be my brother, Itachi, Sasori and G-D talking.

"Hey guys," I said and four heads looked towards me. Two smiled, one smirked and the other showed no emotion. "What are you talking about?" I asked cautiously. The smiling people dropped their smiles. G-D got up and walked over to me.

"Sit. Please, Ino." He asked, looking pleading at me and I sat with no comment. Deidara scowled and Sasori smirked . Itachi's smirk got bigger.

"He reigns her, Deidara." Itachi whispered and I blushed lightly, but shook my head vigorously. Sasori laughed.

"Really? I was under the impression that he could get you do anything." Sasori snickered and Deidara growled. I blanked when I saw G-D staring at me with those gorgeous dark chocolate eyes. I couldn't breathe correctly and I started to hyperventilate. Deidara and Sasori looked startled and G-D ran to get something. He came back with a glass of water, which I drank gratefully.

"Don't I have a say on whether I do or don't listen to him?" I asked angrily after setting the glass down. My brother thought I was being an obedient little girl for some pop star that I hardly even know? How far is that?

"Shush, Ino. You listen to him more anyway." Deidara told me and I stood up and slapped him. Hard.

"Don't you think that I would listen to you more if you weren't out with your friends all the time? Do you even know what goes on whne you're gone? Do you know that Noctula was beaten by Pein? Do you even care that Noctula has been beaten near unconsciousness because of Pein?" I screamed at my brother. His face became sorrowful and pleading. I stood my ground.

"Noctula is in the guest room recovering from the beating because Naruto wasn't home to stop him this time. Noctula is closer to me than anyone in this room and I almost lost her tonight! Do you even care about my happiness?" I shrieked, tears streaming from my eyes. I felt two familiar and strong arms wrap around my waist. G-D was comforting me and I didn't even care. "Noctula isn't going to wake up tomorrow and I have work to do. Afterwards, I have to cook dinner for me and my friends and clean the house. I have had to do everything since Mom and Dad died. You go out drinking every night and come at midnight or later. I don't care anymore! You can take care of yourself! I quit! I'm leaving to stay with one of the other girls! I can't take you and your friends taking advantage of me and my friends! YOU DON'T CARE ANYMORE! YOU HAVE ME DO EVERYTHING!" I broke down and turned to G-D's chest. "You don't care anymore." I whimpered and Deidara just kept quiet.

"Time for bed, Ino. You are tired." G-D told me and I nodded. I was tired. G-D picked me up bridal style and walked back to my room. I felt my head hit the pillow and I was engulfed in an inky, dreamless sleep. The next time I woke, I saw G-D laying on my palet on the floor.

"G-D? Are you okay?" I asked softly and he groaned. Five minutes later he was wide eyed and bolt upright.

"Hey, you are awake. I thought I was dreaming." G-D said, getting up and stretching. I caught a glimpse of his body and nearly whistled. He wasnicely toned. I have to thank Temari for that bit of info. "How are you feeling? Do you feel okay?" His voice came softly from the left side of my bed. I jerked and he stepped back.

"I'm sorry. I just can't take it anymore. He uses me to keep the house clean and cook all the time. I'm tired and Cross Country begins in a week. I need my rest, G-D." I said and G-D hugged me. "I'm sorry."

"You can stay with me and Daesung at Daesung's place." G-D offered and I smiled sadly.

"I couldn't do that to you." I said quietly. G-D laughed.

"Believe me, you will make it easier to stay there." He told me and I nodded.

"Sure. Now let's get me packed up and then get Noctula packed. She needs to stay with me." I told G-D and he flat out grinned.

"Daesung would like that alot." He said, laughing slightly. I guess it's time to start over.

I'm sorry, Mom. I tried my best.
