Three people stood in a small kitchen. Two blondes and a red head. One of the blondes was female, young, long hair that was braided back, sparkling blue eyes, and a beautiful slim figure. The other blonde was male(no really?). He had long honey blonde hair that was put up in a half pony tail, he was tall, and young as well, maybe about three years older than the female blonde, and his eyes we're a deep cold blue.

As for the outcast of these three, the red head was male, he was tall, and his eyes were brown, the red hair that lay like a mat on his head was shirt, and raggedy. He was reading a book, which the girl had gone out and bought him the other day. He set it down.

"Ino, is the coffee done yet?"

"Almost Sasori-sama. Almost . . ."

Ino Yamanaka was making breakfast for the three of them, everyone else of the Akatsuki being out on missions. She had been captured five years back and has been the Akatsuki's personal maid ever since. It was truly a living hell when all the guys would try to get into her skirt.

She served the breakfast to the boys and gave Sasori his coffee. "There, happy?"

"Yes." Sasori obviously didn't know when she was asking rhetorical questions. She sighed and sat down on the other side of the table. She had dreamed of him last night, her idiot blonde prince. Of course, he was never really her prince, he always liked the pink haired witch. He also concentrated on the raven haired foot solider of the kingdoms army, she felt the prince would never really notice a poor girl like her.

The honey blonde noticed her staring out into space. "Ino, everything alright, un?"

"Why do you care?"

"Fine, be that way then, un."

Be like that? It was their fault she was like that in the first place! If they had captured her, she would be a perfectly happy girl with a normal life and a possible family! Ino growled and slammed her fork down onto the table and left the kitchen.

"Way to go Deidara."

Naruto tried to remembered where he had sent Ino. Oh yes, it was the to the boarder of Amegakure. Ino was suppose to take care of bandit problems. They weren't normal bandits, they were genetically mutated super bandits! That's what made it S-ranked.

He soon arrived at the boarder. What was he honestly expecting to find there? It's been five years. Maybe he could find a witness inside the village, so he started in.

People stared at him, they knew his face, he was the Hokage. Many of the figured out why he was there. The incident with the blonde girl from Konoha. She kicked ass against those bandits, and then two men dressed in black cloaks that had red clouds on them, came out of no where and snatched her up.

The villagers all knew, but they were scared to mention the name of the organization group. The Akatsuki. Naruto made a few stops, at restaurants and hotels. Convenient stores and homes, but no one seemed to know, or at least not talk about it. Naruto went to leave the small village, until a man stopped him.

"Hey, your looking for this chick right?" This silver haired man held up a picture of Ino Yamanaka. Naruto's eyes filled with hope and he took the picture and nodded.

"Yes! Yes! This is her! This is Ino!" Naruto exclaimed. "Do you know where she's at!" Naruto wanted answers, and fast. He felt so light of his feet, which he thought was a good thing, so he could run faster to get to her.

"Yeah. She's with that fuckin' group, what's it called? Oh yeah, the Akatsuki. You didn't hear this from me, you got that kid?"

"Yeah, thanks a whole lot mister!" And with that Naruto started running to find the hide out.

"Tch, lame punk ass. At least that bitch will be outta our hair finally."

Ino was outside the hide out, tending to the small flower garden she had made not to long ago. Purple and orange flowers made patterns of hearts on one side, while pink and blue flowers made cute skulls of hatred on the other.

"Naruto-kun . . . " She whispered to herself sadly, and she looked up. The sky was as blue as her eyes. She felt her eyes water. "Naruto!" She cried out. She fell forward into the flower garden and she clutched up dirt and flowers in her had as she sobbed. "When will you come for me? Or have you forgotten me?"

"Why are you screaming, un?" Deidara looked on at her. Ino mumbled something. "What was that? Geez you're a load of work, un." She felt him close to her. "Listen, un. I'm sure no one has forgotten you. You're too pretty, un." She looked up at him.

"Pretty? Tch, who are you fooling? You hate me."

"And who told you that, un? Surely I never said that. Even covered in dirt you're very pretty. That's definitely not a face you can forget." He reached out and sat her up. He caressed her cheek gently, and some dirt fell off of it. Ino blinked, and her body shook. "What's wrong, un? You look scared." His grin said everything on his mind. . .
