Lets say that the tunnel isn't creepy. Lets say that this is all a bad dream, and that I'm on a c-rank with Shikamaru and Chouji. Yeah, lets just go with that; its much better that where I actually am right now.

In a dark cave, freezing my ass off, sitting in a corner while the two egotistical jerks fight about whose plain is better. Seriously, didn't I just save both of their asses?

"I don't know if your aware of this Uchiha, but we basically have a chakra deprived teammate!" Oh, I love the way he puts it! Seriously, is that the way all konoichi want to be described as?

"Listen Hyuga, the entire point of this mission is to get the crystal, and bring it to the elders. We don't have to deal with all of the extras." He hissed, although his voice was lower than Neji's, it was just as dangerous.

"Alright then, you go and get the crystals. We'll be right here." I groaned and leaned my face in my palm. Sighing, I used the wall to quickly get to my feet. I grouchily mumbled profanities under my breath at the sudden head rush.

"Will both of you knock it off!" I hollered, getting both of their attentions easily. "I'm not chakra deprived, and we need to stick together!" They at least have to agree to that one. "I know that we shouldn't have to deal with this, and I know that there are better places we could be right now." Both men scoffed, agreeing to my sentence. "But since when have you two given up on anything?" They both glared, glanced at me and they sighed. For once, all of my supposedly annoying lectures helped.

"Now, if you don't mind..." I lifted my hand, pointing to the way we have yet to go. They walked past me silently, as I sighed deeply when they had a good 10 ft start on me. I twirled on my single heel and began walking again.

Something just doesn't feel right, I thought, shouldn't there be something after a trap like that? My feet dragged on ,checking to make sure a gaping hole wouldn't just randomly appear. I nearly bumped into the taller Hyuga as he came to a sudden stop. Looking up, I saw that they had two tunnels.

"We'll send clones down both." Neji stated without questioning. Sasuke didn't motion that he was concerned, and I nodded. As three Neji's appeared in a puff of smoke, and entered the halls.

"I don't get it." I whispered more to myself than anything. "Why have to open cave like that when they knew anyone with common sense would send clones?" Sasuke spared me a glance before pondering it. Neji, on the other hand, thought that it was smarter to just send the clones.

"We'll wait here until something happens." I sighed. There was nothing I could do to persuade him. The only people who could possibly do that is his team or Naruto, and I'm neither...

We officially waited forever and a day, just standing around and waiting.

I tapped my foot in annoyance. My eyes had to tempt me to close them as they felt heavier than my brain could handle. It was something to add to the mission I suppose; it was an A-rank after all. As hunger sent a signal to my brain, my eye twitched as I heard a grumble. Slapping my forehead as both of them looked at me; reaching for my medical bag, I pull out a small bottle of food pills. As I was about to twist my fingers to open the small cap, Uchiha grabbed my wrist. I glared at him, still being chakra deprived and tired, hunger was something that I did not want to add to the list.

"Your aware of the side affects of those, correct?" Stating this blandly, he wouldn't let his damned grip loosen on my skin and bone. Neji watched in silence, still awaiting any information from the clones.

"I'm perfectly aware." I hissed; what kind of medic doesn't know almost everything of the medicine from his or her village? "Now leave me alone." I managed to wiggle my wrist out of his grasp. Turning away slightly, I opened the cap quickly. As I was about to take one of them, Uchiha grabbed both of wrists, making me drop the lone pill as he stepped on it purposely, causing it to turn into useless pieces of powder. He caught what was left of the small yellow tinted glass bottle.

"Damn it Uchiha!" I groaned angrily, looking at the high-priced powder. "Do you have any idea how hard it is to make affective food pills!" glaring in annoyance, he continued to look at me with a plain expression spread across his face. I knew I wasn't going to get those pills back, so I groaned and crossed my arms.

"Somethings not right." Neji interrupted my glare. "I can't sense my clones anymore." My eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"Try releasing them." I suggested, completely forgetting about my list of pains. Neji sighed as he did so.

When he did...he fell to the ground in pain, coughing up a decent amount of blood doing so.

"What the-" I knelt by him as fast as I could. How did this...

"Ino." Sasuke's voice was a strange tone. I look up to see him grab me by the waist to push me out of the way something, making him and me crash quickly into the wall. To say I was in shock would be a pretty good word right now. Looking up, I barely caught a glimpse of Neji falling into a newly formed hole in the ground. "Releasing the clones must triggered a trap in the caves." He growled in a low tone as I screamed Neji's name.

"We have to go." Sasuke started to drag me by my upper arm at a fast paste.

"I'm not leaving without Neji!" Being as stubborn as I could drug my heals into the dirt.

"Ino, we don't have tim-" His sentence was interrupted as he had to quickly pull me out of the way of yet another seemingly bottomless pit. I screamed again, which seems the only thing a tired, chakra deprived, starving and dehydrated medic could do at the moment. "Damn it!" I heard him curse, although me eyes where clamped shut at the moment.

Sasuke, I pleaded in my mind just get me far away from here...please...

The wind was violently locked out of me as he knocked us both into the wall again. My eyes sprang open involuntarily as I looked to see the basic structure of the floor had caved in. I gasped, using chakra to hang to the wall as best as I could, helping Sasuke out a little.

What is going on? How did this even...

"Ino," I looked over, "You don't have enough chakra to stay like this for long." He was panting slightly, the scratch on his back gave him surges of pain at every hit.

"But... what about Ne-..." I seriously felt like I was going to break down. I felt whats left of my energy drain. As my eyelids dropped against my will I felt my body go limp. I felt a struggle to try to grasp me arm, but it slipped and left a painfully long scratch spread itself along my arm. My body felt like it was floating, but the hair whipping my face violently said otherwise.

As first, I thought I was a vision of Neji, Sasuke, who walked on the right of me, and I walking up to the gate...

As the vision began to blur, I looked to the left and saw another figure -although the other two didn't notice that it was there. I smiled at it, and as I desperately looked to see who or what if was, all went black.

When people said life flashed before your eyes before you die; I never thought it would be like that...
