Chapter two- The stake out.
Kiba and Ino waited at the gate for Sakura and Lee and their third member for the stake out.
"Are you sure this plan will work?" Kiba asked.
Ino looked over at him. "I don't but at least will have all our decorations back. And we'll be able to celebrate Christmas." Ino said.
Kiba smiled. "You really love this holiday." He said.
"Of course. Christmas is my favorite holiday. It's the time of year my parents met. I hope to one day meet my loved one at this time too." Ino said.
Kiba frowned and glared at her. "What about Sasuke?" He asked.
"He's over with. He did almost kill Sakura and Naruto. Along with most of us." Ino frowned.
Kiba sighed and patted her on the back. "It's no one's fault. He made his choice. Now he's in prison." Kiba said.
Ino nodded. "I really hoped he was the one. But now, I don't know." She said.
Before Kiba could say one more thing Sakura and Lee walked up with Sai behind them.
"Are we ready?" Lee asked.
"Yes." Ino faked a smile. "Let's go and get Christmas back!" Ino said.
They headed out and traveled to the spot where the hide out was.
"All we need to do is wait till they are passed out. How are the "toys" coming along?" Sakura asked Sai.
Sai was painting some toys to come to life and play with the dozen men.
"It's going to take me some time. Give me a minute." Sai said.
"Take your time." Kiba said.
"What did you get your family for Christmas?" Lee asked.
Kiba had a big family. "Whatever they wanted to eat. Candy is all they want." Kiba said.
"I got my mother some flowers and my dad a beer bottle." Sakura said.
Ino was silent. "What about you, Ino?" Sai asked her.
"I got them a special gift." Ino smiled.
Kiba raised a brow.
"I got my parents the same suit as me!" Lee said proudly.
Everyone had a sweat drop. "Great." They said.
Sai focused enough to finish and send the toys into the hide out.
Surprisingly, they didn't get scared or freak out.
"Only time will tell now." Sakura said.
"This will be a long night for sure." Ino said.
Lee was already passed out and Sai was snoozing.
Ino looked out and watched the shadows in the tree while Kiba stared at Ino.
What was she really hiding? He thought.
Guess he would have to find out soon enough.
End of Chapter two.
