I don't own Naruto or any characters in the naruto-verse, what would be Masashi Kishimoto's privilege.

A pair of crisp blue eyes watched as he worked his magic. 'Kawaii. More so than usual.' Sitting in the brush, she watched as he created fantastic things with his chakra. Simply beautiful. How she longed to be able to touch him, to have him hold her in his strong arms. She shifted her weight a little.

Bad move.

He looked her way. He was an expert in his field, there was no doubt that he had seen her. There was no way that he couldn't have seen her. She closed her eyes, 'please don't see me, please don't find out I've been watching you….'

He looked away. OGMIGOD HE LOOKED AWAY!

She heaved a great sigh of relief. 'well, Ino, m'girl, you are sly!'

Later Ino found herself lying on her bed, thinking about her life and other such girl-thoughts. 'mental swoon he is so handsome! I wish that he knew how much I loved him…' She jumped when she heard a 'tap-tap-tap' on her bedroom window, though when she looked, it was only the trees hitting the panes. sigh She fell into sleep thinking her thoughts of him.

She awakened to more tapping on the window, she didn't even look, she

dismissed it and sighed, looking up at her ceiling with glow in the dark stars and posters of bands like 'missing nins'(go read the story missing nins, you'll understand), at the pictures of Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, Kakashi, Shikamaru, and all of her other friends. Her eyes slipped shut just as a figure leaned over her lying form.

'It isn't very polite to watch people when you should be training your

ninjutsu.'

She screamed, the figure covered her mouth with their hand, gentle and warm.

She calmed. 'This stanger will not hurt me...wait, watching while i should be training? It's Kakashi! KAKASHI!' She ripped his hand away "what are you doing here, kakashi?"

"that is my question."

"this is my house" Ino huffed.

"I realize that, Yamanaka. I know your father. Why have you been watching me?"

Kakashi inquired.

"You're the best, so I thought i could learn by watching."

"thats a lie, and you know it."
