Recap: "I'm sorry Ino" was all he said and with the flick of his hand, he threw the weapon towards her.

"NOO!!!!" Ino screamed as she woke up with a start. She was sweating all over and she had to concentrate on her breathing.

"So much for a good nights rest."

End Recap

I wonder what that was all about. It felt so real and yet… I'm alive. Ino threw off her covers and headed towards her bathroom to do her usual morning routine. She tried to her recall her dream back to her as she was brushing her teeth. The more she tried to think about it the more she couldn't remember. All she could think about was that someone was going to kill her, but she couldn't tell who. Maybe this means I shouldn't go on the mission. Tsunade-sama did say we might run into trouble…no I can't quit the mission. What's the worst that can happen?

You could die.

True. Wait who said that?

Me. I'm your most adored and loved conscience.

I have a conscience?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'YOU HAVE A CONSCIENCE'?!?!? OF COURSE YOU DO!!! You must have missed the whole adored and loved part.

No, I just didn't know a conscience could have a mind of its own.

Well then don't consider me a conscience. Just call me your Inner Most Beautiful All Powerful You.

Great just what I need, an ego-maniac inner. I really need to stop hanging out with Sakura. She's starting to rub off on me.

Maybe that's a good thing. You do need some work.

"…" If you are just going to insult me all day, I'll just leave. I have better things that I could do right now then listen to you.

Okay, okay, I'll get to the point, I'll leave but I warn you; that dream has more meaning to it than you think.

What's that supposed to mean?

Silence

Hey get back here! Arg I can't believe I'm having an argument with my self!

Ino finished up in the bathroom and changed into her usual outfit with the exception of her new fighting gloves. She also left her hair strait down. Since she couldn't sleep and was already packed for the mission, Ino decided to head off to her parents floral shop and take care of some chores that have been neglected. She left a note for her parents on the kitchen table, grabbed her bags, and headed out the door to the shop.

"Wow, the stars are really bright tonight." Ino murmured as she walked through the streets. It was around two in the morning and everything looked deserted. Ino expressed a very loud and animated sigh.

Well, I guess that's what I get for living in a village full of ninja.

Even though Ino wasn't really scared, she did picked up her pace to the shop. She knew it wasn't safe for her to be wandering around the streets this late. That's when she saw it. She turned around quick to see what it was, but nothing was there; just an empty street.

Dammit, what was that? I swore I thought I saw something move. Maybe it's just my mind playing tricks on me…Wait! There it is again.

Ino turned to her right, just in time to see the shadow disappear again.

Okay Ino just calm down, it was probably just a cat. Yeah, just some dumb cat.

She started to back up slowly, fear keeping her from running away as fast as she could. Her whole body was shaking as she started to take another step back, her eyes darting from left to right.

Calm down Ino. It's nothing, you have to remember that it's noth-

Whoosh

An unatrual wind blew past Ino. She froze where she stood, her eyes widened in fear. Something was behind her. She knew what was going to happen now and braced herself for it. She shut her eyes tight and tensed up her whole body as she waited… and waited. She dropped her tensed shoulders and reopened her eyes. Her fear was disappearing, replaced by confusion.

Why hasn't it killed me yet?

She took a deep death and turned around to face what she thought was to be her killer.
