Ino found herself asleep on the nurse's bed with white sheets underneath her, her eyes squinted at first but as she began to realize her surroundings, she sigh in relief but just then it hit her, "Where's Naruto?"she though, remembering she was last with him, holding on to each other at the gruesome fight both had just had not to long ago.
"Excuse me Miss" Ino looked at the blond nurse wearing a white doctor's outfit, she moved her dark blue eyes tors Ino and raised a brow.
"Yes?" the nurse said, dropping the paper work she was doing and rushing over to Ino's aid, "Are you feeling any better sweetheart?" the older blond moved strands of hair off Ino's face.
"I'm fine but where's-" Ino looked around the small room and just found chairs, a table and a medicine cabinet. No Naruto.
"Where's what?" the woman asked, with curiosity in her eyes.
"The boy-" Ino was cut off as the woman knew what she was talking about.
"Oh yes, he came in here to drop you off, you fell asleep, after some battle I believe? Such a nice boy, Nar..Nari..Nar" The nurse tried to search her memory for Naruto's name but came out empty.
"Naruto" Ino spoke ever so softly.
"Yes! that's his name, Naruto came in here to drop you off, I offered him to lay down as well as he to looked in the same condition as you" The nurse said, just then Ino read her name tag witch read Ms. Bella.
"Ms..Ms. Bella, where did Naruto go?" Ino questioned her with suspicious eyes.
"He went back to class, that Tsunade and her fights, I told her to quit it with all that but she insists on showing her students how to fight in battle the right way as she says it" Ms. Bella rolled her eyes.
"You didn't happen to see a pink haired girl or a blue haired boy haven't you?" Ino remembered that not only she and Naruto had been in battle but Sakura and Sasuke as well.
"Why yes actually, Sakura and Sasuke were their names, Sasuke said he was fine but walked out of here limping, as for Sakura, she just needed a ice pack for her head but other then that she was fine" Ms. Bella's face appeared with a smile, "The real problem were you and Narito, you two looked very badly bruised" pronounced Naruto's name wrong and that caused somewhat of a irritation to Ino.
"Well I'm better now" Ino struggled to get to her feet but the weakness she was feeling in her knees told her to lay back down, but she didn't want to look week to the others.
"Honey no, lay back down" Ms. Bella insitisted just as the Nurse's door opened and made a creek sound, a blond male walked in with a green slip in his hands.
"Oh look, it's your savior" Ms. Bella chuckled, causing Ino to blush at the sight of the person who she was referring to.
"Hey Ms. Bella, Tsunade gave me a slip for me and Ino" Naruto handed the green piece of paper to the elderly woman who appeared in her mid thirty's. She scanned the paper slowly, reading Tsunade's chicken scratch she had written down.
"Well it seems like you two are lucky" Ms. Bella smiled at Naruto and back at Ino who was looking down, still blushing at the comment she had made secodns ago.
Ino looked up at her confused but locked eyes once again with Naruto, his warm smiled made her knees buckle again, but she didn't show no expression to him.
"Ino, you and this young fellow here get to go home early, seems like Tsunade doesn't want you in school today, she said take a rest, but expects you here tomorrow" Ms. Bella said and frowned "Typical".
"What!" Ino's heart began beating fast, "So we leave now?" Ino asked. Truthfully she did wanted to go home, she wouldn't last the rest of the day but the thing was, was Naruto going to be with her on her way back home?
"Yes Sweetheart, take care and get some sleep, this young gentlemen will help you" Ms. Bella refereed to Naruto and motioned for him to help her get up.
"I got it" Ino stood up, she felt as if her legs were toweres, awaiting to erupt and come clashing down to the very ground but she managed to stay up.
"You sure?" Ms. Bella noticed her legs quiver and looked back at Naruto.
"I'll walk her home, she lived next to me anyway" Naruto walked over next to Ino who was now looking down, "Ow" he mumbled at the pain in his ribs, seemed Sasuke did now hoe to put up a great fight.
"You take care aswell young man" Ms. Bella walked back over to her table with the papers scattered all over the wooden material.
"I will, let's go Ino" Naruto placed his arm around the blonds waist and began to walk out the room, Ino's body heat began to increase as well just as before when he first touched her.
"Bye Ms. Bella" Ino waved at the woman, who gave a warm smile back and waved to the blonds exiting her room.
The hallways were quite, with the sounds of students chattering away in the classes they passed. Ino felt his arm still around her, she wanted to tell him she was fine but to worried she'll fall over, she just stayed quite.
"My stuff" Ino remembered leaving her books in Tsunade's classroom.
"Already taken care off, I told Tsunade if she could hold them till we came back" Naruto smiled and proceeded to walk, keeping up step by step with Ino.
The blazing Sun had appeared and shined bright in the sky, blinding Ino's eyes but she quickly recovered. Sweat ran down her back but she didn't know weather it was the Sun causing it, or the male that was holding her.
"Your OK?" He asked with concern in his voice, he looked over at her and noticed she was looking at him from the corner of her eyes.
"I'm..ff..fine" Ino stuttered, "Stupid!" She yelled at herself in her head for making herself sound like that.
Naruto chuckled a bit and continued walking, "Nice day out isn't it?" Naruto quizzed, this time moving his arm a little lower on her hip, he felt a quick jump but ignored it.
"Yea it is-" Ino was cutt off as she knew this was going to happen, her knees gave out of energy and she fell to her left, about to feel the pain that she was about to endure, a pair of hands caught her in thin air.
"I got you" Naruto held her up back in stance and looked at her glowing blue orbs, she looked back at him not knowing what to say but as soon as something popped up in her head, she felt her feet being swiped off the floor and Naruto's warm hands rubbing against her legs. Naruto picked her up and held her with both arms, his right hand holding her legs with his left hand held her upper body.
"I got you" He whispered in her ear as he began to walk ahead, holding her like she was a feathers weight.
Ino felt her face get hot, she wasn't sure if what was happening just happened but she didn't care, she liked the way she felt in his arms, he rocked her from side to side slowly on everyone of his steps. Not knowing when, Ino placed her head on his chest and felt his heart beating at a slow rhythm. Ino continued to see the shine around her but soon it came to a stop; as her eyes had shut closed and she had fallen asleep to the beating of his heart.
