2 days ago...
The next thing Ino remembered was that she was in a hospital, lying on a white bed.
Ino got up real quickly, too quockly. The pain got the best of her. She squeaked and went lying again.
Lady Tsunade came in, followed by Shizune.
"Finally you're awake", she sat on Ino's bed's edge. "How are you feeling? Do you have any pains?"
"Grh a bit", Ino answered. Her voice was a mere whisper, her throat was dry and voice cracky. Ino cramped at the pain in her chest.
"Wait for a while, I'll get you some painkillers. Shizune", Tsunade said. Shizune nodded and went to get her the painkillers.
Ino's head was blurry: all she could remember was a big boom and...
Gaara!
"W-What happened?" Ino asked from Tsunade.
"Two ANBUs found you from an exploded oasis. They carried you here, to the hospital. You were almost dead", she said in a serious tone.
Tsunade tapped Ino's hand comfortably.
"You failed your mission, but the main thing is that you are alive and safe."
"Was I unconcious for long?"
"You came to the hospitla 4 days ago."
"What happened to Gaara?"
Tsunade got up and went to the door.
"Nobody knows", she said before leaving the room.
What happened to him? Did he survive? Or did... did he...
Ino didn't even want to think about it. Tears, those poisonous signs of emotion, started to fall down her face. Crying hurt her chest, and she fell to the deep sea of deep slumber and unconciouseness.
The next day...
The next day she got home. Chooji and Shikamaru had walked her home and then they had to leave. Temari and Kankuroo were in Suna. Chooji and Shikamaru had been assigned for a new mission: to find Gaara with the rest of Suna.
Ino locked herself in her room. All she could think about was him. She was emotionally numb. If he really was dead, Ino didn't know if he could get through with it.
Ino sat on her bed the whole day, when the sun came up to the sky, and went down the horizon.
Eventually she went to bed, seeing nightmares about Deidara and a dead Gaara.
Present
Ino cries loud by her window. The rising sun was red, like Gaara's lovely, silky hair that Ino hadn't touched enough. Ino takes her knees to her kurting chest.
Then something unbelieveable happens. Someone's walking down the street, or actually running.
Sabaku no Gaara runs down the street like the devil itself is after him.
Ino goes silent. She stares at the person. He has a bandage around his head.
He walks in front of Ino's house and looks at her window.
Their eyes meet. His are relieved and caring, hers are shocked.
She dashes, forgetting the crashing pain in her leg, down the stairs and opens the front door.
There he is, in front of her eyes.
She tries to get to him, but trips.
In an eyeblink, Gaara grabs her before she hits the ground.
Ino grabs him tight.
"I-I thought you were dead", Ino sobs in his chest.
"I won't die that easily", he whispers.
"How?" she asks in disbelief.
"I chased the blond one out of the oasis, but he got away, and when I came back, you were gone. I went to Suna and found a message. It said that you were unconcious and then I ran here", he explains.
Ino cries the tears of joy and smiles. He holds her tighter.
"I'm alive and I'm here. Shh-hh. Don't cry", Gaara says comforting.
"I love you", Ino says.
Gaara takes her chin gently to his hand.
"I love you too", he says closing the distnace and kissing her gently.
