Cooped up in Suna City Chapter 8: To Get a Job in Less Then 4 Minutes!, a naruto fanfic

Here it is. No Naruto in this one. Regular Ino maddness.

There's a story in need of reading.~

"All I wanted was a place to stay…" Ino grumbled as she stood in the court room as she watched the red-haired man come to her as the trial was over.

"Just a place where I wouldn't lose my frickin' head and my phone." She snarled in annoyance.

"Calm down," Kankuro said, "You got my bro from going to jail, even if he does deserve to."

Temari nodded as her brother slowly made it over, "Thanks Ino-Imouto…"

Ino only sighed, closing her eyes in a tired fashion before looking to see this 'Gaara' passing them like they weren't even here.

"Hey!" she yelled which caused him to turn and look at her blinking slowly, "You're welcome."

He slowly blinked again before turning to walk off.

"Oh, no you don't." Ino yelled as she barged over towards him as the exited the court, "Because of what you did, I have to stay by your side and watch you until these guys see fit." She huffed not expecting a response.

Temari and Kankuro sighed as the y walked over to the two walking a short distant behind.

"Well isn't that cute?" Kankuro laughed, "The pretty blonde interrogator gets together with the insomniac red hair…"

Temari shouldered him in the stomach, "That's not funny and that's never going to happen."

When Ino got there she grinned happily and fell straight on her new comfy bed.

Now I can sleep…, she thought giddily.

Then her door opened; She groaned.

"What now!?" she yelled turning to stare evilly at the person that enter her room.

Gaara laid back against her wall, his arms crossed staring down at her with light green eyes.

They stared at each other for what seemed like an hour until Ino decided the silence was unbearable.

"Well…?"

"Who are you?" he asked instantly though it sounded as if she had no choice to answer.

She rested her cheek on her palm looking up at him with a yawn, "Yamanaka Ino,"

With that he nodded and left the room.

Ino blinked, What was that about…

Temari frowned as she saw her younger brother looking completely bored on the Computer. She was worried about him; he seemed to only get in trouble and she didn't want him in jail or hurt in anyway. She meant it when she said thank you to Ino. Her brothers were special to her. Even if one was a dumb pervert and the other a delinquent.

"Temari," she heard a voice say.

"Yeah, Kankuro?" she said as she sat on her kitchen stool.

"You worry too much," he said with a smile, "Go enjoy yourself. We won't harm the girl, her hits hurt like hell."

She smiled at that mumbling, "Idiot," before getting up to grab her purse and jacket.

"Be back later you guys." She said casually as she reached the door.

"Say 'Hi' to Shikamaru for us!"

Sasuke answered his phone with a monotone voice, "Hai?"

"Where is that girl!? She's missed two whole days of work!"

Sasuke raised an eyebrow at the phone he pulled from his ear before realizing Anko was on the phone.

"In Suna City." He stated as her continued to write on his clipboard, only to accidently write her name on the document. He frowned, as his stomach clenched at seeing her name. Yamanaka Ino was probably the only girl he'd show these annoying feelings, but he'd failed. He'd lost her and she wasn't coming back, which killed him to no end.

"Why the hell is she in Suna?" she heard the woman say stubbornly.

"She moved." Away from me…

"Well," he heard Anko say, "start bringing her ass to work!"

"I have-" then he heard the click and only scowled, but was kind of happy he'd at least get to see the blonde again. Almost eagerly, he grabbed his coat and headed for the four-ponytailed female's condo.

Gaara had found all she needed to know about the blonde woman living in his sister's house.

She had graduated Konohagakure schools, from primary to college. She was top cheerleader, soccer captain, captain on the Garden club, and voted Best Dressed and Most Friendly, along side a boy named Uzumaki Naruto in High School. She got student's to be able to wear there only regular clothing at school, had a Law and Doctor's degree and studied police force, becoming the woman she was; a young top interrogator in her section.

He leaned back in his chair feeling slightly dazed before hearing a knock on the door.

He didn't get it.

Whoever it was knocked again. He turned to see his brother asleep on the couch. Slightly annoyed, but not showing it, he walked to the door and opened it with his usual blank expression.

Who was this guy?, he thought instantly as he looked at the blank face male in front of him. At the moment he decided it didn't matter saying, "Where's In-"

"Who are you?" he asked.

Sasuke frowned, "One should give there own name before asking of others."

He slowly blinked at the Uchiha before stating, "Gaara."

"Uchiha Sasuke," he replied, "Is Ino here?"

The red haired male nodded, but didn't move aside.

"I need to speak with her." Sasuke said, feeling annoyed that he had to explain himself.

"She's asleep." Gaara mused.

"She needs to go to work," he stated only to get the constant intense stare and slow blink, "…or she'll get fired."

The red head nodded, finally moving aside, and then leaning against wall.

"Across the living room to the right…"

Sasuke nodded before walking to those directions.

His stomach clenched when he saw her. She looked so peaceful; part of him felt no reason to wake her up. Though, knowing Ino, if she was fired she would have a fit no doubt. Shaking her shoulder he mumbled, "Ino…wake up."

Ino slowly stared at him before yawning, "Whoa; Sasuke what are you doing here?"

"Your job."

In a few seconds Ino went running to fix herself yelling about how an idiot she was.

Sasuke smirked, same old Ino.

Kankuro was woken to the yelling only to look up to see his younger brother standing by the wall, his arms crossed in the usual fashion.

"What the hell is her problem?"

"She's late for work," he heard a voice say. Blinking he looked at the unknown guy in Temari's house.

"Gaara…is that one of your friends?" he said with a slight scowl.

Gaara only blinked at him the man saying, "No; I'm Uchiha Sasuke…"

Kankuro nodded before turning his head away from both of the trying to go to sleep as the blonde woman came running out grabbing the Uchiha's hand.

"Hey, Gaara..." he turned only to see his brother no longer there.

Ino was changing from channel to channel Sasuke's radio.

"Anko says I have to drive you to work from now on…"

Ino laughed, "Just like Anko-sensei. You don't have to," she said yawning, "I can buy a car or something. I've got a license."

"But, I want to."

Ino blinked and looked at the Uchiha who kept his eyes stuck on the road, "We are friends after all."

Ino smiled and nodded completely forgetting about the radio laying her head back on the car chair sighing.

She felt a twirl of her hair. Her eyes opened and instantly she yelp in surprise pulling back to turn and see …Gaara looking blank, but a spark of amusement in his light green eyes in the back seat.

"You," she heard Sasuke say, "What are you doing?"

He blinked at him a tiny frown on his face.

"Gaara, what the hell? You were supposed to stay at home!" she scowled looking at him through the rearview mirror.

"You said I had to stay by your side until they said otherwise." He said in his rough voice.

She opened her mouth, closed it, and just sat back in her chair and sighed.

She felt the twirl of her hair again.

"Two days, Ino! TWO DAYS!" Anko barked, "What do you have to say for yourself, brat? …And why is he hear?"

"I…" Ino started grinning sheepishly, "moved and he is, uh…" Anko and Ibiki were scary as hell. But, they were like her extra set of parents to Ino and she would take any thing they gave her. Even if it was sometimes dangerous and was usually tied to a table.

"She was going to give me a job here."

Ino blinked before looking at him, "I –what?"

Ibiki stone scared face looked at Gaara with disinterest, "Let's see what you can do…"

Ino sighed as they headed to an interrogation room. Looking through, you could see a roughly looking man looking smug and calm.

"His name is Kimora Fuku; he's being interrogated in the lines of serial murder and we still have not been able to crack him." He looked at Gaara handing him a clipboard, "Try and do so."

Gaara only slowly blinked and then walked into the room sitting on the other side of the table. The man looked smug and then slowly it etched away and he actually looked nervous at Gaara's continuous stare which they couldn't see. Ibiki had the stereo and you could only her dragged breathing from the possible criminal looking for something else to look at always going back to Gaara's stare.

"Did you do it?" they heard Gaara ask.

Ino frowned; you couldn't ask that question without getting a 'no'.

"Yes, yes, I did!" the main said quickly, "Just stop doing that! Stop staring at me like that! Stop!" The man was now pulling, trying to release his hands. Gaara walking out of the room the still blank face he had before handing the clipboard to a slightly amused Ibiki.

"Very good." He stated.

"How…" Ino started.

"Pretty good, kiddo!" Anko said with a grin patting Gaara happily on his shoulder, "I like him. He deserves a job now, Ibiki!"

Ibiki sighed, "You got yourself a job, kid. Ino give him more people to interrogate." The man then walked off with a crazy Anko; Ino's mouth still opened in surprise before shaking her head.

"C'mon," she huffed passing him as police men came to take Fuku away.

He kept pace with her, not looking at her once before saying, "You are upset."

Ino shook her head, already annoyed. Taking the key, she unlocked the next room, handing him the clipboard, watching the same thing happen as before.

It took me years to get were I am and he does it in 3 minutes, ugh!, she thought though inside she was slightly proud. Maybe he wasn't just a delinquent.

I hopw you liked it. R I'm tired and hungry naow, so I'm going to go!
