Summery

Drabble Collection – For better or for worse, no matter what, my girl will always come first. (Ino/Temari) (Friendship)

Like all of my work this is just something that happened to float through the empty void inside my head. Like it or hate it please R and R as honest opinions are always welcomed, as are random acts of worship.


Lamb: Well what d'ya know, I'm updating again already. Aren't you all happy?

Muse: I'd be happier if you never updated anything ever again. But I guess we should say thank you to WolfFlowerz, kiwi4m4, SlEePyVaMpIrE, shadowphoenix101, AkemiYumikov3 and Yoruichi 'Ino', who all reviewed that last drabble. You may all have one hug with Gaara.

Dedi: This drabble is dedicated to WolfFlowerz,

Lamb: As always sorry for any bad spelling and if you feel the need to throw things at me please wait until I've hidden behind the sofa kay!?

Muse: On with the fic!


Yeah, yeah! Uh-oh, we're in trouble,
Gotta get home quick march on the double!
We've been out all night and we haven't been home,
We're walkin' through the back streets ...all alone!
The party was great, yeah we were really frilled!
And when we get in we're gonna get killed,


Friends: Would bail you out of jail.

Best Friends: Would be sitting next to you saying "Well, that was fun!!"

Hyuuga Hinata glanced nervously around as she headed towards the building that housed Konoha's ANBU Torture and Interrogation Force. She didn't know what the pair had done to warrant being locked up in one of the interrogation cells and part of her didn't want to know. It might just be that Ino had tired her mentor, Morino Ibiki, patience one time too many and so he had locked her up just to get some peace and quiet. And if he was locking up one he might as well deal with the other half of the double act, so Temari had ended up in there with her.

That was one possible explanation, but as the Hyuuga heiress made her way along the corridor she had been pointed down she got the feeling that this time the two had done far more than that. She hesitated slightly in the doorway when she saw that the sand kunoichi's two younger brothers were already inside Ibiki's office and all three men looked less than pleased.

She bowed politely to each of them in turn before seating her self gratefully in the proffered chair and silently prayed that she wouldn't have to wait too long to find out what the two blondes had been up to. Hinata didn't think her nerves would be able to stand it.

On their own both Ino and Temari were forces to be reckoned with but when they were together… An involuntary shudder ran through the Hyuuga as tendrils of fear crept up and down her spine. She found herself unconsciously reverting to her pre adolescent habit of twisting her hands together as an outward sign of distress. There was no telling what damage the pair of blondes could have done, what trouble they could of cause or what unfortunate people they could have encountered along the way.

Morino Ibiki looked furious and from the way the pen he was holding trembled slightly as he did various bits of paper work it was clear that he was only just managing to keep a hold on his temper. A fact that was conformed when the pen actually snapped in two and saturated the paper in front of him with blue ink.

Kankuro was also seemingly unable to sit still. One foot was bouncing up and down in time with a beat that only he seemed to be able to hear and he was twitching his fingers as if he were pulling the strings of one of his puppets. His movements were only adding to Hinata's high state of nervousness and the way those intense dark eyes of his flew to the door every time someone walked down the corridor wasn't helping either.

By contrast the Kazekage was sat frozen in his chair, looking as if he had been carved from marble. The extraordinary jade orbs were focused on a point on the wall behind Ibiki's desk, some three feet above the man's head, except those eyes still ringed by dark shadows due to lake of sleep seemed to be looking through the wall. Small fountains of sand were springing to life around his feet, creating odd distorted shapes, which quickly died only to be replaced by more.

Yes, Hinata knew that the demon that had dwelt within Gaara had been extracted but that didn't make the redhead any less intimidating. Setting aside the whole demon factor, the fact remained that he was the leader of the Hidden Sand Village, one of the most powerful and influential people alive and the strongest ally to her own beloved Konoha. He was also currently siting there like a parent called into school because of the antics of their child.

The question briefly floated in Hinata's mind that if Gaara was responsible for Temari, did the fact that she was here make her responsible for Ino? The opal-eyed young woman hoped not.

She was thankful yet even more wary when only a few minuets later the door to the office was opened and the two females in question were escorted in. The indigo haired young woman wondered if she should be more worried since the shinobi who brought them in was having to bite quite hard on his lip to keep from grinning.

"Before any of you say anything," Ino started, looking round at the un-amused faces. "None of it was our fault."

"Exactly," Temari added, as she too glared at the assembled company as though they were disagreeing with her. "Any guy who tries to grope a trained kunoichi deserves whatever he gets."

Hinata hid her face in her hands, while Ibiki shot a dark scowl at the pair even as Kankuro fought to control his sniggers. The small tornado's of sand that were whipping around Gaara's feet increased in intensity and a low growl rolled from the back of his throat, but both girls ignored his display of anger too intent on reliving the moment that had got them in this situation.

"But the look on his face…" Ino trailed off, too over come by giggles to speak and having to lean on Temari to keep from falling over.

"Priceless!" She managed to howl, before she too was over come by mirth and the pair broke down completely.


Please R and R I'd love to know what you thought.

Big love and inspiration
