6 days ago...

Ino woke up leaning to Gaara.

Wha...

Then she remembered last night and smiled.

Ino hugged Gaara and noticed he was already awake.

"Mornin' Gaara-kun", Ino said smirking a bit.

"Morning Ino-chan" he replied Ino.

"When we're gonna continue to Suna?" Ino asked meeting the green-blueish eyes.

"We'll stay here for a couple of days, so your leg will get better", he said. Ino had totally forgotten it. She looked around and saw that the sun hadn't rose up yet.

"Hey Ino. Want to see something beautiful?" Gaara asked her.

Ino turned to Gaara, and before she knew it, Ino was in Gaaras back and he ran towards a palm in the edge of the oasis.

"Hold on tight", he said when he started running along the trunk.

Ino grabbed to Gaara like her life depended on it. Or actually it did, because if she fell, she would die for sure. But she knew that Gaara wouldn't allow it.

She hugged Gaara, enjoying the closeness and warmth he offered. It was lovely, calming. Almost intoxicating.

Ino felt the gravity start to push her against him: he had sat down to the palm leaves.

But that didn't mean she'd let go. And she didn't. She felt Gaara laugh a bit and suddenly she was in Gaara's arms.

He sure IS strong, and FAST.

Ino looked to the desert and saw it glowing red, like the sky.

She couldn't get her eyes off the view: it was something never seen before, completely amazing and beautiful.

Ino smiled and Gaara ran his fingers along Ino's arm and held the other one in Ino's waist in firm, still gentle, grip.

Ino slipped her arms behind Gaara's back and closed her eyes. She was really enjoying herself, the moment was relaxing and nice.

"Look", Gaara said and pointed to the desert.

The sun had come up and it shone its rays to the desert.

She looked at him and his face had gotten a red shade.

"Guess what it's like", Ino said.

"Well?" he asked putting his roehead against hers.

"It's like you", she said brushing Gaara's nosetip.

The redheads aquamarine eyes showed amazement.

"You have the same hair colour" Ino said running her fingers through the red mass of hair the Kazekage had.

Gaara kissed Ino's cheak and then her lips.

His lips were warm and soft, Ino just couldn't get enough of them. His tongue asked for entrance and she gave it without hesitation.

Ino was sitting in Gaara's lap with open legs.

She pulled him closer and Gaara tightened his grip on Ino's waist to deepen the passionate kiss.

They separated, panting.

Gaara gave a quick playful smirk and pushed Ino to the ground.

Their lips crashed into eachother again.

God when did he get so good at this?

Gaara was on top of Ino, his tongue roaming in her mouth.

There they were, making out on a 25-meter high palm tree in the sunrise.

In time, they parted from eachother. Gaara stood up sitting and catched Ino in his lap.

"I love you", he whispered.

"I love you too", Ino answered.

"...Maybe we should get down", Gaara and Ino said in unison.

They laughed.

"Yeah", Ino said. "I'll race ya!"

Ino dashed and grabbed the tree trunk sliding down fast.

She ended up sitting in the sand, hugging the palm tree.

"Come on treehugger. Let's have breakfast", Gaara said suddenly behind her.

"And when did you get down?" Ino asked amazed and got up.

Gaara smirked. "Let's just say that I have my ways"; he said.

Ino brushed the sand off her clothes.

Gaara was setting a camp fire and Ino dug her backpack for something that looked like green mash. It was mashed vegetable.

She took a small pot and went to the water to fill the pot. It was pretty hard because of the ancle but she got through with it.

Ino came back quick and Gaara had the fire up and running.

She poured the mashed veggie stuff to the pot. The put the pot to heat up on the fire.

They ate up slowly, talking about their families and freetime activities.

The sun was high up already when Ino decided to go for a swim.

She somehow managed to climb on top of a rock and jumped to the water. There was a big splash and when Ino got to the surface, she found a soaked Gaara at the rock.

She bursted out laughing and fell underwater during her burst of laughter. She heard a splash and arms wrapped around her.

"Gotcha", Gaara whispered to Ino's ear with a smile.

"What about now?" she said slipping from his embrace and dived.

She got up and saw Gaara. OR actually only half of his face because his nose and below was under the water.

He looked a bit funny, his blood red hair glued to his head.

But then he got up slightly and Ino couldn't get her eyes off of him. He was very muscular and his pale skin shone wet in the sun. To put it simple, Gaara was totally hot.

Ino started to float, enjoying the cool water and draining the warm sun.

And when she started to think about it, her ancle wasn't hurting anymore, still a bit swollen.

"Hey Gaa-" she started expecting to see him as she looked, but he was gone.

Ino started to get out of the water to go look for him.

As she was getting closer to the water's edge, the water itself started to get thicker, hard to get through.

Ino turned around and found the blue sharkman of the Akatsuki, Kisame, on the other side of the oasis, by the water.

"What are you guys up to?" she yelled from the bottom of her lungs.

Kisame started walking towards Ino and stopped in front og her. He grabbed her face with one hand.

"Came to finish an unfinished job, and you are only in the way", he said as the water started to surround Ino.

She quickly grabbed Kisame's ancle and pulled, making him fall. The water dropped as well and Ino ran out of the water.

She desperately started to look for Gaara.

She went to the tent and looked around.

Nothing.

She grabbed her ninja equipment.

Where the hell IS Gaara?

He came out and someone grabbed her, dragging her fast behind a rock.

There he was, panting and sweating.

Gaara looked at Ino.

"You alright?" he asked.

"Yeah I'm alright, but..."

"We have to fight. But first..." he said and closed his eyes. Consertation was seen in his pale face.

"Wha-" Ino started.

"I sent an SOS-message to Temari and Kankuro. We'll have to fight until they get here", he said as he dug his pockets.

He took a small crystal ball, then crashed it with his sand. It released dark purple fog that faded away in an instant.

"Backup from Suna is coming right now. They'll be here in 30 minutes."

"Hooray. We'll survive if we stay alive the next 30 minutes", Ino said sarcastically.

"Something like that."

"O ho hoo. Our little Ex-Jinchuuriki is still alive, un. I thought we killed you already", someone said.

Deidara and Kisame were on top of a palm tree.

Ino got furious.

So these are the guys who killed Gaara, MY Gaara. And who that guy think he is, copying MY hairstyle?

Ino snapped totally.

"GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE, DIPSHITS!" she yelled furious.

"When you two are dead, we will", Kisame said calmly with a toothy smirk.

This is bad. We're on open, equals perfect targets. But there's no hiding places here. Guess it's just good ol' one-on-one fighting.

She threw a kunai at Kisame when she felt a sharp edge of a kunai at her throat.

"I wouldn't do that if I was you", Deidara said.

Gaara saw it and reacted immediately. He shot sand towards Deidara.

"Stop it Kazekage or I'll kill her", he said. Deidara held a kunai at Ino's throat and grabbed Ino hand which held the kunai, pointing it at Ino's stomach.

Ino started to turn the kunai in her hand. She stabbed Deidara's hand through her own one.

"Aaaagh! You bitch!" Deidara yells, unable to pull back. The tip of the kunai pointed through his hand.

"I'm not as helpless as you think", Ino said. "And that's Mrs. Bitch to you!"

She pulled the kunai out, tunred around and hit Deidara's kunai-arm.

Snatch.

The kunai fell to the ground. Ino had broken Deidara's arm.

Meanwhile, Gaara fought Kisame with all he got, still had the disadvantage in the battle.

Ino held kunais in both hands, Deidara had his infamous explosive clay statuettes in his non-pierced hand. The other hand was really ugly: the mouth in it all bloody, tongue was very damaged and a hole you could see through.

Fuck, my ancle.

Ino fell to the ground, unable to stand up anymore. But she wasn't the only one injured. Both of Deidara's hands were unusable.

The blond bomber grinned and dropped the bombs.

KABOOOOOOOOOOM!

Ino flew through the air, hitting her back to a tree trunk. Huge rock came flying and it hit her leg, twisting it badly.

Snatch.

"!" she screamed in pain.

The leg was thrased, blood everywhere and the bone sticking out of the skin.

She had lost. She would die. She would die in bloodloss, most likely.

Everything started to go black and Ino felt colder and colder by the second.

Last thing she saw was Gaara's face in front of hers, full of worry, in the middle of a raging battle.

"I...I-", was all Ino could say until unconsciouseness took over.
