Chap. 13

Passed out

Sasuke was crouching infront of Ino opening her eye lids to check if she was okay. 'I told her to watch out and what does she do! THIS!' he pulled his face away from hers.

.Flash back.

"Ah, Ino watch it!" She had stepped on the bomb. The air got thick. It got harder to breath. Sasuke felt around for Ino. 'Dammit Ino...' Soon after bumping into a tree he heard someone fall. "Ino?" 'Tch...' he got down on all four trying to look and see where she might have dropped. After about 10 minutes the smoke started to finally clear out. Still no sight of Ino. He stood up squinting looking through the left over smoke.

There he saw her. She was pale in the face. He ran toward her. He placed his hand on her cheek, he was face to face with her. Her eyes were shut. 'Dammit...annoying people always cause trouble.' He looked to see if she was breathing. 'God...if anything ahppens to you...its going to be my fault.' he noticed her breathing and shook her soflty, "Ino. Ino.Inooo." he got this annoyed look on his face. '...why isnt she waking up? Does she want me to worry like this? Is she faking it to see if I care? Heh, why am I thinking so much...annoying.'

He lifted her up in his arms. She was so tiny. Just like her eyes, he hadent noticed how small her body frame was. He stared at her, he hadent taken anytime to notice how danty she was. Small waist, tiny hands, long hair she was...no. He couldnt be thinking about that. He walked with her in his arms toward the river. He set her down slowly. He watched her take deep breaths in and out. He wondered for a moment if she had a concusion. He felt around her head, nothing. He gazed at her closed eyes.

All he wanted her to do was open those blue eyes...and stare at him.

.End flash back.

"AIIIE SASUKE KUN! Whats the meaning of this?!!" 'OH boy...Sakura..." he turned around to face her, "....nothing. Why?" She marched toward him. "I saw you! Did Ino-pig finally trick you into kissing her!?! huh huh!?" another roll of the eyes emerged from Sasuke. As she aproched she noticed Ino, she was passed out. She bent down, "What happen Sasuke kun?" she stared down at Ino, half feeling sorry for her.

Sasuke explained the whole thing to them. Even the parts where he checked to see if she was okay. Sakura cringed and felt like slapping Ino but she was asleep and that wouldnt be right plus the look on Sasuke face gave this look like, he cared for her. 'As if. Shes only a blonde with blue eyes and a dainty....nahhhh Sasuke care for her!? Haha....Sasuke kun do you?' She turned to face Sasuke. He was staring at the blonde like, like he really did care. Moments later Hinata ran to her friends aid.

She lifted her up and shook her, "Ino chan?" no answer, "Ino chan!" still nothing. "Ino chan!" she started to sobb. Ino's was really the only one that was every really there for her. Naruto came besides her, he placed a hand on top of hers and pointed out that she was breathing so all hope wasnt lost. Sasuke rolled his eyes, he was already annoyed by the fact that she wasnt waking up, "We all can SEE that Naruto. Stop trying to play hero!" Naruto glared at him, "I'm not! Unlike you I know how to make somethings better without making people feel like dirt!"

Sasuke stood there for a moment glaring. Then in a matter of seconds they were shouting insults at eachother. "STOP IT BOTH OF YOU!" Sakura yelled a thte top of her lungs, "Knock it of and go catch food for us to eat! Were going to stay the night to help watch over Ino." Both boys stood up grumply. Before leaving Sasuke turned to Ino. She still wasnt opeing her eyes. She turned around and walked off with Naruto yelling in his ear.

Sakura and Hinata sat besides Ino. She seemed to be moving a little but not wanting to wake up. That face that Sasuke kept giving Ino, that look, made her wonder if anything REALLY did gone on with them. 'Maybe it was just...a act. Or maybe it was just because he cares for her as a teamate! But...that only means...it will grow into more.' "Hinata chan...?" "Hm?" Hinata turned to Sakura. "You think...you think Ino will ever like Sasuke kun again?" Hinat stood quiet for a moment. She to had noticed the look on Sasukes face. It was unmissable. "I-I dont know Sakura chan."

Sakura started to get worried, "But dont worry. I doubt she will." Sakura felt a little better. She looked toward the sky. It was getting late. 'Where are they?!' She looked in the direction the two arguing boys headed. When she sun was coming down they finally showed up, "Took you long enough!" she bitched. "Ya well, tell that to Naruto." Naruto jumped up and pointed at Sasuke, "It was his fault!" just like little kids they began to argue. Sakura's eye brow began to twitch, "STOP IT I SAID! Naruto! Go get some fire wood too cook these fish!"

Naruto nodded and slightly smiled at Hinata while walking away. She stood up, "I-I'm going to go with him. Incase he needs help. Please watch over Ino chan...I'll be back!" she ran towards Naruto. They both walk about 5 minutes into toe woods. As soon as they stopped Hinata started to pick up random peices of wood. Quiet. She thought about saying something to him or not. That second kiss was still up for sale wasnt it? Naruto wasnt exactlly picking up wood he was thinking of something to say.

He got tired of thinking and grabbed Hinata's hand. She dropped the wood to the ground and turned bright red. Naruto sweat-dropped, "Hehe...another round Hinata chan?" He pulled her into him as she puckered up and kissed him.

.-------------------------------------------.

Sakura started to make a place where the fire was suppossed to go. She kept a close watch on Sasuke. He seemed to keep taking little glances at Ino then shake his head as if he wanted her to wake up already. When Sakura was done she sat besides him and sighed, "Sasuke kun, did anything happen with you and Ino?" he ignored it, "...Does she like you? Does she make comments about you two dating?" he ignored her again. He HATED stupid questions like this. As if it were her busness. He hated that about her. Somethings were kept secret. Like him and Ino. 'Ino and me? Were nothing. So were not a secret...but she still doesnt need to know.'

Sakura kept asking questions and as always Sasuke ignored it. When he was really fed up with it he picked up Ino. There it was again. He started to notice everything about her. This time, her smell. She smelt good. He inhaled it and let it fill his head. Unlike Sakura she used something sweet on her body. Whatever it was smelt hell of good. He placed her under a tree so in the morning the sun wouldnt be beaming in her eyes. IF she decide to wake up. Sakura was furious. She sat in the same spot with major anger.

.-------------------------------------------.

Everyone ate in peice. The secret to Hinata and Naruto as a couple was exposed to the whole world! Well, only to these ninja's. It was quiet, Naruto kept giving Hinata goffy smiles and Hinata would giggle. Sasuke, oh boy Sasuke. He would glance at Ino and it would make Sakura more and more mad. 'Inner Sakura: When will this madness ever stop!?'

Everyone grew tired. They all scattered around the camp sight. Hinata was in one corner with Naruto. They talked amongs there selfs. He was cheering up Hinata, telling her Ino will be up by the morning. Soon after that she fell asleep...in his arms.

Sakura was sitting by Sasuke as always. It was like they were alone but not alone. If that makes any scense. She smiled and yawned. She was feeling out of it. Her team had got a stone just this morning and there was no resting. She needed her sleep or she'd be a mean green machine. He head slowly started to lean on Sasukes shoulder. He got annoyed and slightly moved his shoulder, "Sakura I'm tired. Go to sleep now." she nodded and laid besides him.

He rolled his eyes, "No here. Over there. I need room." she got a frown on her sleepy face and walked away, 'Gosh, hes so cold....' Soon after she too had falling into dream world. Sasuke sat there for a moment, he wasnt tired, he was more worried about Ino and her problems. He started to feel more and more guity about what happen. She broke a twig to make sure everyone was asleep. No move meant. He slowly stepped over the sleeping bags and over to Ino.

He stared at her for a moment. He liked where we was at the moment. He felt, not so alone. He figured t was Ino's doing. She was always so full of life and what not. He smiled, no one ever saw him do this, on he wished her blue eys would of saw it. He knew this much, he cared about her, and respected her, and to top it all off he was actully starting to like her. A big step from Sakura. He thought about what was so different about the two, why did he end up liking Ino instead of Sakura?

She was always there for him more. She even shouted I love you to him, all he could fork out to her was a thank you. Maybe...ya it had to be that. She smothered him in questions. He HATED it. And Ino....Ino, she smirked, 'She never did...' He started to fall asleep. He was swaying back. He shook his self up. If he were to fall over he ouwld be sleeping besides her. That would end up in a big headach from pink. He closed his eyes. "Sasuke!" he opened his eyes to find that she was now awake.

She clung onto him. "I'm sorry....I really am." he smirked.
