Ino quietly woke the sleeping kunoichi beside her who had moved in her sleep to rest with her arms wrapped around Ino's solitary one that stayed by her side. Almost instantly, Sakura let go of the blonde and busied herself rolling up her cot as quietly as possible.
With a few hand signals, the girls left to take over guard duty without waking their sleeping companions.
Shikmaru and Choji saw them coming and were already half way down from the small hill they were using for lookout before Ino and Sakura had a chance to motion to them. With a wide yawn, Shikamaru passed with a single raised hand and a pat on Ino's shoulder.
It was easy to determine the spot the others had used, all of the grass in a solitary spot was pressed down beside a log that had been used as a backrest.
The pair remained quiet for a while, Ino felt the familiar itch to start some sort of conversation and kept glancing nervously at the medical nin. "Do you," she began, finally settling on a starting point, "regret the other morning?"
Sakura didn't answer immediately, the only outward sign that she had heard the soft spoken question at all was in the shoulders, in the way she tensed subtly.
"Yes," she whispered finally.
Ino felt her heart break at the words, in an angry gesture she turned to glare spitefully into the horizon. "But, not for the reason you are thinking." Sakura finished, moving her hand to slide it over the one Ino had tearing into the grass between them.
"Then why?" Ino demanded, tears burning at her baby blues, relaxing her hand so Sakura could slip her fingers between hers.
"It's complicated, Ino." Sheepishly, Sakura looked up into Ino's baby blues. In the moonlight they almost shone white blue, borderline silver and the sight of them took the kunoichi's breath away. Every piece of Ino seemed to shimmer in the moonlight, her hair, her skin, it all looked like a tapestry someone had woven together to dictate the ultimate example of beauty.
It broke her heart to realize she had this, and she would have to let her go when all she wanted to do was bottle her up, to keep her to herself so no one could touch her, or enjoy Sakura's muse.
"And what, you don't think a dumb blonde like me could understand something you count as complicated?" Ino teased, noting the way Sakura was looking at her and feeling herself blush under her hungry look. She decided it wasn't lack of attraction that had the other kunoichi questioning them, if there was a them.
"No!" Sakura insisted, unconsciously moving closer to the blonde. "It's just, it wouldn't be fair... to you, if we were to... you know."
"It wouldn't be fair to me if we had sex?" Ino asked, a light laugh in her voice. Sakura stuttered, tongue tied. Amused, the flirtatious blonde rolled onto all fours, letting go of Sakura's hand. She crawled over to straddle the other girls hips, pressing her exposed stomach against Sakura's chest leaning down to whisper into her ear. "I think you're wrong, but we could test your theory, if you don't agree."
"That's not it either, Ino..." Sakura replied, tilting her head back to expose her neck as Ino kissed down her jawline to the tender skin. A shiver ran through her body, pink hair hanging down to whisper against the top of the log her back was against.
Ino ran her tongue up the side of Sakura's neck, stopping at her pulse point to suck on the throbbing skin until the girl under her lips whimpered quietly. The heat in her body that hadn't been satisfied that morning before was back with interest, she wanted to talk first, and have her dessert after, but she couldn't find the will to stop. Ino wanted the girl under her touch desperately, she had wanted her for years, and being teased by her presence, her heat and her touch without any satisfaction was pushing her limits of control.
Using her last ounce of restraint, Ino tore her lips off of Sakura's skin and licked them to take in every fleck of flavor she could savor.
Sakura, thankfully, looking down at the girl, shielding her exposed skin so it wasn't presented in such a tantalizing way.
"Then what?" Ino asked, focusing on steadying her breathing so her thoughts couldn't wander as easily. Sakura let out a deep sigh, raising one hand from where it was resting on the blonde's hips to graze her nails over Ino's exposed stomach absently.
"It's my parents, Ino... you know I'm the first of my clan in generations to make it as a full fledged ninja. They expect me to marry another shinobi, a man, and carry on the bloodline. They would hate you if..." Sakura focused on a spot on Ino's shoulder, unable to look her in the eyes. She was being a coward, she knew that. But, it wasn't just her parents, it was her entire clan. Ever since her graduation, they had been expecting her to marry a successful ninja and have kids in the Haruno name. It was by some cruel twist of irony that she could never look at a man in that way.
"Is that what you want?" Ino asked quietly, finally catching the emerald eyes she had been looking for. "Just tell me that's what you want, and I'll leave." Her jaw became taut as she forced the words out.
"You know what I want," Sakura smiled, sadness tinging her expression and her eyes. Ino shook her head in reply, not letting such a vague answer pass.
"No, tell me, what do you want?"
Sakura closed her eyes and took in a deep breath, "I don't want to hurt you. If we were together, so many people would hate you, they'd blame-"
"No, that's not what I asked. I asked what do you want? This has nothing to do with anyone else." Ino turned Sakura so she was forced to look at the blonde with a pinch on her chin.
"It's always been you, I've always wanted you, Ino." Sakura whispered, hating herself for saying the words and wanting more than anything, to hear them back. "I love you," she was being selfish, Ino could have anyone. Why was she insisting on living a life where she would be hated. Or worse, hidden. Ino was a prize that should be shone off with pride, not hidden away like the stepchild in the attic.
"Then shut up and kiss me," Ino pressed her lips against Sakura's, waiting for the other girl to react. Her patience was rewarded when the other kunoichi began to move her lips against hers. Ino felt Sakura grate her tongue against her bottom lip, and moaned with want, letting the stronger female ravish the caverns of her mouth willingly.
~o~
The next morning, Shikamaru quietly woke his companions. While battle preparations were being made, and breakfast was being eaten between tying boots tighter and wrapping bandages, he crouched and waited.
Sakura and Ino joined their teammates as soon as the their guard duty turn was over. No sooner had the entered the camp, did Sakura separate from the blonde, earning a sad smile following her turned back.
Hinata watched the pair with reserved apprehension, shooting Naruto a worried look. The Uzumaki shrugged and scratched the back of his head, unable to think of anything to say to comfort his girlfriend.
Neji and Kiba joined the crowd quietly waiting for orders, Choji behind them double checking the camp to make sure that all trace of their temporary presence had been swept clear.
"Alright, listen up, because I don't want to repeat myself," Shikamaru addressed the group. "From here, Neji will be in the lead partnered with Kiba." He turned to look at the assigned pair, "keep your eyes and noses peeled forward." Kiba nodded, setting a hand on top of Akamaru's head.
" Hinata and Naruto will take up the rear, Hinata will keep a watch behind us while Naruto will take care of any problems that come up with his shadow clones." Naruto nodded, a smile already on his lips at the promise of a fight.
"I will be in the second group with Chouji." Shikamaru paused before continuing.
"Chouji, you will need to cover myself as well as Sakura and Ino. Ino and I will work to take out any henchmen we come across with my Shadow Strangle jutsu and her Mind Devastation jutsu." Ino nodded in reply, her trademark, somewhat evil grin already in place. Chouji grinned and gave a thumbs up, unable to talk with his mouth still full of food.
"You got it," he beamed, swallowing.
"Last, Sakura you are our medical nin, so save your chakra and let the others fight. Focus your efforts on keeping everyone alive." Shikamaru finished the assignments. Sakura gave a curt nod, her expression unchanging.
"Our first obstacle will be the front door... as with past hideouts, I'm sure there will be a chakra reinforced entrance. Also, it will likely be the only way in or out, so remember where it is at all times.
"Additionally, if we take too long getting around it then the entire base will be warned and the mission will be a failure before it ever starts. That being said, Sakura, do you think you can knock it down?" Shikamaru asked, turning to look at the kunoichi in question.
Sakura smirked and cracked her knuckles. "Oh yeah."
"Good," Shikamaru nodded, letting out a deep sigh, "once we're inside we will be staying together. Getting split up would be a disaster. Do not take any bait or run off alone," Shikamaru paused and stared directly at Naruto.
"Yeah, yeah. I know, I know!" Naruto assured him.
"If we come across either Orochimaru or Sasuke we need to surround them and take them down quickly.
"Expect them to go for the killing blow, be careful and don't do anything risky, we don't need a dead would-be-hero.
"Neji and Hinata work together to shut off their chakra networks. Kiba and Chouji try to disable them as much as possible. Ideally, if we could land either my or Ino's technique for a quick finish, that would be nice." Shikamaru smirked, "but highly unlikely.
"Not to mention we wouldn't want one of ours hit with a mind devastation. If you're going to take a shot, do it very carefully, Ino." Looking around his squad the fearless leader yawned before continuing.
"The worst possible thing that could happen would be if we end up having to fight both of them at once. If that happens, they may try to split us up. Or we might be overpowered. If either happen we need to retreat, let's remember our primary objective is to find and destroy whatever it is Orochimaru is working on. Now, having said that, once were inside, Hinata, I want you to use your Byakugan and search the base bit by bit until you find it. Once you do you need to alert us so we can move there and take it out."
"So, you want us to just leave even if we have Sasuke or Orochimaru cornered?" Naruto asked, trying to hold his anger in check.
"No, a best case scenario would be to eliminate one or both of them, but that is highly improbable to happen. So we need to make sure we do the damage we can while we're here, and get out alive." Shikamaru finished, waiting for Naruto to challenge him, the blond only grumbled and otherwise held his tongue.
"Remember to stay together... things will get hectic, do not let them split you up." As Shikamaru finished his speech, the seven shinobi around him listening intently, Shikamaru sighed. "Alright, any questions?" He knew it didn't matter how well planned out this mission was, there were simply too many factors he couldn't control once they were inside. He just hoped it away enough that no one would die today.
"What do we do if we do get split up?" Hinata asked tentatively, lowering an awkwardly raised hand when she realized it wasn't necessary.
"That's why we have Kiba and Akamaru; they should be able to sniff out anyone if they get separated from the group.
"But, if you do get separated, try to be as careful as possible and make your way back to the rest of the group. Don't pick any fights you can't win." Shikamaru answered, looking at the hound ninja. "Any other questions?" When no one said anything more, they quickly double checked their camp before moving into the assigned formation.
Shikamaru let out a deep sigh, and reluctantly signaled for them to start their journey to the Snake's Lair.
~o~
The eight Leaf shinobi crouched in the long seaside grass, their presence hidden in the yellow tangle under the glow of the rising sun. Silently, Shikamaru signaled for the two squads to move in. Without need for further prompting, they took flight and leapt into the front entrance of the hideout.
Sakura shouted loudly, rolled back her shoulder, and readied her strike. As her fist collided with the chakra enhanced door, a loud crunch resounded throughout the entrance. The large stone slab cracked, caving in from the point of impact, in the shape of a bowl. Beneath them, the ground shook from the force of the blow.
Naruto gulped and whispered out of the corner of his mouth. "I'm glad she couldn't hit like that when we were genin. I would've needed a medical nin every five minutes." Shikamaru sighed at his comment, and shook his head.
Sakura paused to glare over her shoulder at the carefully oblivious blonde, and struck the door again. The door imploded with a loud crack as rocks tumbled down the hallway, into the base. Stone fragments rained down, settling as a cloud of dust enshrouded the shinobi entering the unfamiliar territory.
They ran straight down the hallway and met no resistance, even with that reassurance, they remained on constant guard.
The walls on either side of the hallway looked smooth, although no one stopped to test the observation. They appeared to be traveling down a long stone tunnel, with no doors in sight.
The sound of feet touching down with light steps against the stone caused an echo that resounded throughout the hallway in both directions. Stealth didn't matter at this point, their dramatic entrance had been loud enough for anyone in the region to hear. All that mattered was speed and efficiency.
Suddenly the hallway ended where another hallway began, forming a T.
"Neji, check down the right. Hinata, take the left. Quickly!" Shikamaru ordered. The two Hyuuga shinobi slid to a stop and turned to face their assigned direction. Hands flashed with the proper hand signs, before the cousins added the finishing touch to their jutus.
"Byakugan!" They both said in unison, veins rose to the surface of their skin as their blood line activated. After a few seconds, Neji spoke.
"There's a large room with pillars about two-hundred feet ahead of us at the end of this hallway. There are multiple passageways and doorways branching out from that point."
"T-there's nothing this way, it's a dead end." Hinata announced dutifully, a slight hesitance in her answer.
"Right, then let's go," the lazy shinobi stated. As a group, they turned and went down the left passageway, towards the large room Neji described.
As they entered the room both Neji and Hinata reacted, doors all around the room opened as multiple ninja rushed to attack the intruders, clad in black and brandishing kunai.
"Tch, get ready," Shikamaru frowned, as he grabbed a kunai knife from his back pouch and readied his stance.
"Not a problem!" Naruto grinned and rushed to the front of the group. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" he cried. The nine tailed fox disappeared in a cloud of smoke and reappeared as fifty clones scattered throughout the room, each one wearing the same smug grin.
"Naruto, try to remember the plan," Shikamaru snapped, his glare cutting through the settling smoke and resting on the army of spunky blond Narutos, when a loud cry sounded beside him.
Sakura raised her fist in the air and spun her body on its vertical axis. "Earth Style: Ground Tremor Jutsu!" She screamed, as her fist slamming down against the floor. From the point of impact, wave like ripples pulsed out like the thralls on a stormy ocean.
As the ground flew up across the room the encroaching enemies were unsettled and thrown around like rag dolls, and disappeared in puffs of smoke, followed closely by Naruto's surprised Shadow Clones.
"What's up with her today?" Neji scoffed as the entire structure shook and he worked to stay balanced.
"Sakura! I said don't waste your chakra!" Shikamaru scolded, quickly accessing the situation. From the doorways that had spawned the first set of assailants, more appeared and started for the Leaf shinobi in an seemingly unending stream.
To make matters worse, the pillars that supported the room had begun to crack and buckle, threatening to give way, after Sakura's jutsu.
"Damnit!" Shikamaru cursed. "Everyone, let's go! We need to get out of this room before it caves in!" The two troupes reacted instantly, focusing their chakra to their feet as they ran across the walls toward the far end, one after another, to avoid the ruined floor and the spawning enemy clones.
No sooner had they made it into the connecting room, had thick slabs of stone slammed down, separating the shinobi from their comrades in groups of two. Skidding to a stop, they found themselves unable to see in the sudden darkness, reaching for weapons, ready to fight if the opportunity presented itself.
"So nice of you to join usss..." Orochimaru's voice resounded through the walls, loud enough for everyone present to hear. "Sssasuke has so been hoping to see hiss dear old friendsss," Orochimaru laughed as though he had told a very amusing joke.
Sakura looked around in the darkness, unable to see anything but black. Drawing a kunai from her back pouch she crouched and went into a defensive position. Sliding her feet cautiously over the floor, she tried to gather as much information as she could, while putting her back to the nearby wall.
"Naruto... no, Ninetails," Orochimaru emphasized the title as if it were a cruel playground nickname. "He has been waiting to see you in particular. I think, I will be nice, and grant him this wish." Sakura heard Naruto's enraged screams, but the words were muffled by the thick wall between them. She listened closely, deciding he must be past the division to the left of the room where she was trapped.
From the same direction, the sound of rock scraping against metal sounded before their captor continued. "As for the rest of you... well, why don't you just see where your doors lead," he laughed. Sakura noticed that a wall behind her began to lower into the floor, revealing a bright lamp and what appeared to be the only way out.
"Sakura," Ino said softly behind her. Spinning around, Sakura looked at her friend. Her heart leapt and her stomach churned inside of her. She was glad to be out of the blackness and she was glad that she wasn't alone... But, of course with all her inner turmoil, fate would place her with Ino. She didn't have time to think about Ino right now. Sakura forcibly turned her focus back to the team as a whole. She glared angrily at the wall that separated them from Naruto and the others. Smiling, she focused her chakra on her fist as it connected to the wall.
A sickening crunch followed as Sakura's knuckles shattered under the impact. The wall remained unchanged, not even the slightest dent interrupted the flawless surface. Sakura cried out as agonizing pain tore through her arm. She recoiled her fist and held her uninjured hand over her wounded one protectively, her face contorted in pain.
"Sakura!" Ino yelled running over to her as she crumpled onto the floor clutching her hand to her chest.
"Tch, tch," Orochimaru chided. "Did you really think I wouldn't have a plan for Tsunade's new pet project and her inhuman strength? I thought you would be smarter than that. Although, I must admit you did also inherit her temper as well. You see, Sakura, those walls absorb any chakra that is directed at them. Which means my dear, that the chakra propelling your arm wasn't drained, but in your fist it was, leaving it unprotected and crushed by your own strength." Orochimaru laughed again. "Rather ironic don't you think?" (1)
Beside her, Ino snarled and reached for her friend's mangled hand to assess the damage done. Sakura pulled away from Ino. She turned her back to the girl and tried to concentrate chakra into her left palm. A wave of pain ripped through her body and she lost control. The small amount of concentrated chakra dispersed into the air.
"Sakura, don't be stupid. Let me see," Ino snapped at her as she reached for her hand a second time.
"Don't touch me!" Sakura barked.
"You didn't seem to mind a few hours ago." Ino retorted, her lips pulled taut as she successfully managed to get a hold of Sakura's arm. Sakura thrashed about and threw her off instantly, angry and panicked. While she knew that currently repairing the damage done should be her priority so she could find the others, she couldn't help but worry about someone hearing them, or more specifically, Ino.
"Fuck you!" Sakura spat, trying to ignore the pain she just caused by moving so quickly. She positioned herself away from Ino and rested her back against the nearest wall. She took a deep breath and tried again to form the chakra around her left hand.
"Right now isn't the best time, ask me again later," Ino replied without missing a beat, a sheepish smile curving up her soft pink lips as she tried to lighten to mood. She moved to kneel in front of her friend, extending her hand in a request.
"Now, let me see your hand," she lowered her voice to a whisper, pleading. "Please..."
Sakura glared, her resistance wavered as she looked into Ino's worried eyes.
"I don't understand, what happened? Was it something I did?" The blonde kunoichi asked, she couldn't stop the stab of pain she felt when Sakura had fixed her with a resentful glare. Her voice cracked as her blue eyes began to water. "P-Please S-S-Saku..."
Sakura looked at her friend and felt her heart break. Her throat suddenly felt very dry and the words were hard to find. 'Ino', she thought 'I...' Sakura looked down, ashamed, unsure of what to say to her.
"Right now really isn't the best time..." She started.
"Like hell it isn't!" Ino growled back. Sakura's evergreen eyes snapped open in surprise as Ino pressed her lips forcefully against hers. She placed her uninjured hand on Ino's chest, feebly attempting to push her away before the strength left her arms, and instead she curled her fingers in the fabric of her top, pulling her closer.
Ino pulled her lips from Sakura's and crumpled against her friend, her forehead resting on the younger shinobi's shoulder.
Shocked, Sakura didn't react at first. When her addled brain started to make sense of the situation she gently wrapped her good arm around the blonde shinobi. She pulled her close -careful not to put pressure on her bad arm- as she cried with her, Ino's tears staining Sakura's clothes.
"Please... I can't lose you again." Blonde hair fell loose, creating a wall between the girls as she pulled Sakura closer, her arms wrapped around Sakura's neck.
"Please," she coughed wiping away her tears, her body trembled as she let all the hurt out.
"Ino," Sakura whispered, still in shock as a sudden agonizing wave of pain raked her body and she buckled against Ino's embrace.
"Give me your hand," Ino whispered. She wiped away tears with the back of her hand. This time Sakura didn't protest as the blonde took her hand. Ino's brow furrowed in concentration. Her medical training wasn't nearly as advanced as her friend's, she had to focus completely on her task. Slowly, the bones began to repair and wayward splinters were removed. Muscles were reattached and Sakura's hand looked less like a mangled mess. Ino breathed heavily and stopped, sitting on her butt with her legs awkwardly curled up beside her. A drop of sweat rolled down her cheek and dropped onto her bandaged legs as she looked at her handiwork. It wasn't as good as Sakura could have done, but at least it was useable, and the bleeding stopped.
Sakura retracted her hand from Ino's grasp, looked it over and tried to flex her fingers one by one. She could control chakra into and around her hand as well as move all her fingers again; most of the pain was gone as well.
"Ino," she tried again, looking at her tired companion. "Thank you."
"This really is a pain." Shikamaru sighed heavily as the doorway formed in front of him. He had heard Orochimaru's comments and Sakura's agonized scream to his right. The squad leader had cringed. Looking over his shoulder he saw Hinata with her back to a wall, whipping her head around wildly as if she were as blind as a bat.
"I-I-I can't," she stammered, in a panic, "I-I c-can't see anything, everything is just bl-black.. even my Byakugan."
"Hinata, calm down, remember what Orochimaru said, any chakra directed at these walls will be absorbed. That includes your Byakugan. Try looking down this hallway instead. Make yourself blind to these walls," Shikamaru told her, his tone patient and even, enough to soothe the panicking girl.
Nodding, Hinata took a deep breath and looked down the hallway instead. Surprise written all over her face as she blinked.
"There's a massive lab... and storage area at the end of this hallway, and..." She gulped, "Bodies... lots and lots of bodies."
Shikamaru sighed and rubbed his forehead before rolling his neck and shoulders.
"Right well, I guess we should get going then."
"What about the others?" Hinata asked, worry evident on her face as she glanced in the direction of Naruto's roar.
"Right now we can't do anything for them, we will have to hope they can take care of themselves and get out alive," Shikamaru replied seriously, eyes focused on the entrance to the laboratory. His expression hardened and for once, he looked determined.
On the opposite side of Sakura and Ino(2) was Naruto and Kiba. As Orochimaru had begun to talk, Naruto's temper flared dangerously. Canines elongated to resemble Kiba's who stood beside him, Akamaru standing behind the two shinobi.
"WHERE IS SASUKE!" Naruto roared into the darkness before the doorway was created. As soon as the opening appeared, Naruto lurched forward, Kiba's hand shooting out to grab hold of the enraged ninja's arm.
"LET ME GO, MUTT! OR I SWEAR I'LL TEAR THAT HAND RIGHT OFF!" He screamed, body trembling in rage as he yanked his arm away.
"Naruto, wait!" Kiba snarled. "It could be a trap," as Kiba finished his sentence a crash sounded beside them followed by Sakura's strangled cry.
"Dammit," Kiba cursed, glaring at the wall between them as Orochimaru started to lecture Tsunade's pupil.
"OROCHIMARU!" Naruto roared again, the air around him becoming hot as the scars on his face began to widen. Kiba grabbed hold of the front of Naruto's orange suit.
"Calm down," he growled, fangs gleaming in the lamplight. "We need to think this through before we charge in."
"Get. Off. Me." Naruto spat out the words, glaring down at Kiba as he grabbed hold of the dog shinobi's wrists. Akamaru growled threateningly.
"Not until you calm down," Kiba countered before Naruto's knee met his gut. Kiba dropped his hold and doubled over, holding his stomach as he snarled at the ninetails. "You're going to get us both killed, you idiot."
Naruto had his back turned and was already purposefully walking down the presented passageway.
At the rear of the pack Neji and Choji listening silently as Orochimaru talked to their companions. Neji deactivated his Byakugan, as he ran into a similar problem as Hinata. They could not hear Sakura's cry or Naruto's roar between two thick slabs of the rock wall. Neji however became concerned when Orochimaru began to lecture Sakura.
"What do you suppose happened?" Neji asked, as the doorway in front of him and Choji opened.
"Sakura punched the wall and it didn't break down." Choji stated simply, as if it should be obvious. "Her mood is sour enough that it seems that's her solution for life at the moment. Punch it." Shrugging, the male shinobi looked down the lit passageway, long shaggy brown hair trailing down his back.
"I suppose you're right," Neji conceded, also looking down the hallway. "Well, shall we?" He asked his unlikely partner.
"Yea, let's go, I'm getting hungry," Choji smiled warmly, seemingly unworried. Neji smirked at his comment and took off down the hallway, followed closely by his teammate.

(1) The wall was designed to get rid of chakra aimed it, and nothing more. So since Sakura's technique infuses all her muscles with chakra only the point of impact was drained – being her fist. So her shoulder, back muscles, and the rest of her arm was still chakra empowered to drastically increase her strength. However with the chakra drained from her hand it was like squishing a piece of paper between two rocks, crushing it instantly. Ya – Ow. (Ps, this is just how I envision the jutsu to work, since they never actually explain it.)
(2)The order, since I found it confusing myself with them all looking different ways is Neji + Choji closest to the way they had entered. Next was Shikamaru and Hinata, third was Sakura and Ino, and First was Naruto and Kiba.
Alright, revamped c5 done. Sorry it took forever to get out! I've been more than moderately obsessed with my new fic, The Passage of Twin Disciplines. I'll try to update this a little more consistently.
Until next time, - Kiravu
