When I have the time, I'll put down your reviews kay? If you can, tell me if I can just directly reply to your review in your next one so I can rest easy about how many people go up on my chapters. I've read all your reviews, don't worry. The vote for Ino's partner has few results, but it's something

Sai (Now this was interesting) - 1
Sasuke – 1
Remember what I said in my author's note last chapter.
"Deidara!" Sasori yelled.
He held her and straightened her neck, trying to ease her breathing. But then he gave up because it wasn't working, picked her up and ran to the hospital. When Sasori got to the Emergency Room, he broke open the doors and the nurses took Deidara away on a stretcher. Now he sat in the waiting room, watching the light in the operation room, waiting until it turned off. When it did, a doctor came out to talk to Sasori.
"Ah, you must be the young man who brought in this girl." He said.
"That is correct sir. Can you tell me what happened to her?" Sasori said, emotionlessly.
"According to the symptoms she suffered, it seems like she was attacked and again before she recovered." The doctor said, taking off his gloves. "There was internal bleeding, and we had it stopped. She was violently hit so badly that a rib made a small puncture that became worse as she was not treated. The bleeding leaked into her lungs, and she coughed it up as it was irritating the inside of her lungs. She would have suffocated if she had not been brought here to seal the puncture."
"I see. When will she be allowed out of the hospital." Sasori questioned.
"In about two days, she'll be out and about. I just need you to sign the release paper for when she gets out since you brought her here."
He asked a receptionist for a clipboard, then handed it to Sasori. After reading it carefully, the red-head signed it and handed it back.
"May I visit her?"
"Right now?" the doctor asked. "Of course."
He pointed Sasori in the direction of her recovery room and he walked off. Opening the door, the teen found his love sleeping on one of the hospital beds near the window. He sat down in a chair next to her bedside and gently stroked her hair.
"I should have seen this earlier, ne?" Sasori said, biting a small part of his lip. "You'll be okay soon. You don't have to worry, but Orochimaru's gonna pay."
He lifted the part of her hair, covering the marks on her neck.
"I'll see you later okay? Just wait for me." He said, kissing her softly.
Deidara whimpered when he moved away, but otherwise didn't show any other visible signs of pain.
--early the next day--
Sasori walked home to relieve Rei of his cousins and prepare for a day without his sun-shining blonde. Deidara woke up in the hospital, reviewing partly faded memories of last night. She remembered that Sasori told her to wait for him, and she did, lying in the hospital bed. During lunch, later in the day, Sasori explained to AKATSUKI what happened to Deidara and they decided to meet up with Pein to visit the blonde, the day after tomorrow. But, they didn't plan on what was going to happen, tomorrow night.
Okay, I know that was a short chapter that wasn't worth a lot of your waiting, but this is where your vote will kick in. The alternative endings break off here and will differenciate depending on who's Ino's partner. Hope you understand! R & R, 1-20, and who you think should be Ino's partner!
