Thanks for the people that gave me reviews. Whichever character lost the tally will be saying goodbye…or will she? Hope you like it. Enjoy!!

Normal, Thought, Written

Set in Sand

Ino awoke to someone shaking her. "What?" she asked sleepily.

"Its ten am miss and the master whishes to see you for breakfast." The servant said shyly.

"Ten AM! Are you mad for waking me up at this ungodly hour bitch?!"

"B-b-but the m-master wishes to see you mistress." The servant says shivering from fear.

"Well tell your master that he'll just have to wait till I'm ready! Nobody tells me what to do!"

"Then you wanted to come here on your own mistress?"

God what is she? The inquisition? Who is this master? Better not be the pervert Konku, kanko, kunta, what ever his name was. He's icky.

"No, but I do agree on certain things because I get things I want in return."

"Then?"

"No more questions. Now leave so I can get dressed."

"Mistress." the servant curtsies "I have set your dress on the foot of the bed."

Ino gets up and looks at the spaghetti strap knee length black dress with little stilettos to match.

"What is this!"

"The master picked it out for you since you slept so late."

"Who is this master?"

"Why master Gaara mistress."

"Gaara picked this! He must be a perv if he picked this and it's only ten in the morning! The things an evening gown for crying out loud!"

"Master is not a 'perv' mistress; this is punishment for not waking up at 8 when you were suppose to. You made the master wait on you."

That's what that alarm was about! 8 fucking god in the morning! He must be out of his mind to wake up at that hour!

"Whatever. Now get out!"

He must be crazy to think I'm going to wear that. I'll just put on some jeans and a top instead. Make me wake up at ten and expect me to wear that thing HA, he's got another thing coming.

xXx

(Gaara's P.O.V)

Ino follows the servant down grand and well-decorated hallways to take her to where Gaara was waiting. The servant put up quite a bit of fuss when Ino came out in only jeans and a top. But now she only gives long and silent stares at Ino shaking her head every now and then. Finally they came to a door that had a butler standing in front of it. He bowed and opened the double doors to reveal a balcony with a table, covered with food, and had two matching chars. Gaara was standing at the rail looking out over the view of the gardens that the girls had seen during their quick tour of the mansion. The servant pushes Ino onto balcony and the doors shut behind her. Ino stands in her place fidgeting not knowing what to say or do.

"Hello" said the dry voice of Gaara.

"Hi, so… It's nice to finally be able to have a conversation with you!" Gaara stays silent "I'm starving lets eat." Ino says trying to get Gaara to turn around.

"The food is cold and I have already eaten."

"Well that wasn't very nice. You should have waited for me to join you. But I bet we could always order up more food." Ino says trying to lighten up the atmosphere. Gaara turns around and takes in Inos' appearance and his frown deepens.

She talks too much. She's not even wearing the outfit. First and Second test Failed.

"You're not wearing what I wanted you to wear."

"Yeah, well I have an issue about doing what people tell me unless I get something in return. Also I don't like to get up before noon, so deal."

I'm getting a headache because of her. She's to preppy, loud, and shallow.

"Anything else?" he asks dryly trying to mask his boredom

"Well let me think…I like the color purple, I don't like school except it's a great way to socialize. I've had many boyfriends…

When will she shut up? I don't know how much more I can take. Find my quiet place, find my quiet place…

"…And yeah, that's about it. Ah Gaara? Are you listening?

"That's a lot."

"Yeah ya' think so?"

"You may go back to your room now."

"But what about the food, and about you telling me about yourself, and aren't you going to at least walk me back to my room?"

"No food. Dismissed."

"You can't do that! I did what you wanted and now you're saying I can't have food?!"

She has short-term memory loss. No intrigue, three strikes.

"You have not done what I wanted. Dismissed."

And with a humph Ino storms back into the mansion surprising both the servant and the butler. The servant hurries to follow Ino so she my guide Ino back to her room.

"Well you sure put up with her a lot little brother."

"Leave Temari, Kankuro."

"Oh no little bro. We want to know what you think about that nice and innocent little model." Kankuro says with a smirk.

"Kankuro shut your sorry perverted ass up! Let little brother decide what he's going to do without your perverted thoughts thrown in."

"Sorry Temari" * sulk *

"She's out." Gaara says with no emotion.

"What! Yes that means I can have her! Yes!"

"Shut up! You're giving little brother a headache."

"Sorry" * silently yells and does a victory dance *

Kankuro is such a pervert. Guess Ino's not going back to her boyfriend.

(In Inos' room)

Ino,

I write to you to inform you that you are taken out of my list as a possible bride.

-Gaara

"Man on the first date and he dumps you, that's sick"

"Thanks a lot Sakura!"

"Let's not yell ok"

"But girls are supposed to be loud Hinata."

"Yeah Tenten's right." Ino sniffs

"I was just saying that if he dumped you on your first date how are any of us supposed to last a month?"

"What!? Where did you hear that Sakura!?"

"Well my parents told me."

"Mine too"

"Sakura, Tenten, are you sure?"

"Why would they bring it up if they weren't sure Hinata!"

"Sorry, but my father didn't say much to me before I left."

"Hinata" The three of them cooed at the same time.

"Yeah, well I wonder when he wants me to leave? He didn't say anything in the letter about when I'm to leave or when I can at least get some food."

"Maybe he wants to talk to you. Men should always treat woman like they would like to be treated."

"Ah, Tenten. I wouldn't want to be punched the way guys say hello. And also we have so very different needs from them. I mean like they don't have monthly troubles do they?"

"But Ino women have fought really hard to be seen as men's equals."

"Hello there girls."

"Kunkory! Get out of my room this instant!"

"Technically this is no longer your room. Your room is beside my room now" Kankuro gives an evil chuckle.

Does he get to choose any girl Gaara dumps or will he be left high and dry? Review and Message pretty, pretty, please. Love your comments.
