Hospital Stay
Many hours later…
The group had reached the hospital a long while ago and Ino immediately went into surgery. Gaara still felt very, very guilty about what happened. He took a seat next to Hinata, while Kiba stood pacing around the floor. He looks as if his wife is expecting. Great, your back. Silly Gaara, I never left you. Can you just shut up? Ohhh, does Gaara feel bad about his little friend? As a matter of fact I do. It's all my fault, that stupid idea of mine caused this. Yes, your right. … thanks…I guess she loved me… Ewww… not like that! As a brother ,you twit! Silly Gaara! No one love's you! You're a monster which everyone hates… remember? Gaara's eyes widened for a moment. Your wrong!!!! I'm not a monster!!! I'm not you!!!! But, silly Gaara, I AM you… after that the voice went silent. The last few words lingered in his mind, "Silly Gaara, I AM you…" Gaara shook his head, "I'm a monster,…" he said out loud. Hinata looked over to him with a sad look on her face. "I don't think so Kazekage-sama." He looked away. After many more hours of sitting in silence Gaara began to get paranoid. How long have we been here? Three hours? Four? Have I become so crazy that I talk to my own thoughts? Yes. Gaara ignored the voice and said out loud, " I still don't understand,… why she did it…" Hinata stared at him with cold hating eyes. " You don't know why! It's because she cared for you!! She cared for you enough to give her life! Do you understand now?!?" Hinata screamed at him. Gaara grasped his head in pain and got up to sit across the room. " I'm sorry." He replied to an angry Hinata. As Gaara sat, Kiba stopped pacing and went to sit next to him. Gaara had his head in his hands and was staring at the floor. Kiba put a supportive hand on Gaara's shoulder. Gaara looked up, Kiba smiled. " Don't worry Gaara, I'm positive Ino will be fine. She… she was always strong." Gaara thought to himself, man his girlfriend is dieing and he's cheering me up…. After a while the room became silent again. No one had come to fetch them if Ino's surgery were over … so it must still be in progress. Soon they began to hear footsteps. Kiba looked up and saw two slightly familiar ninja's. Hinata looked up also. "Shikamaru? Naruto? What are you doing here?" She asked, slightly angry. Naruto sensed the anger in her voice and was quite startled. "W-were volunteering at the hospital, w-we saw Ino's name on the list." Naruto stuttered. "where is she?" Shikamaru asked impatiently. "What does it matter to you?" Kiba asked. " I beg your pardon, Dogboy?" Shikamaru said eyebrow twitching. " You heard me! You don't care about her! Me and Gaara saw you lock lips with Temari!!!" " Oh yeah…Ewww" Gaara said reminded of the image. "OH YEAH DOGBOY!?!?! IF SHE DOESN'T GOT ME WHO DOES SHE GOT!?!?!?!?!?" Shikamaru screamed. Kiba blushed heavily but replied strongly, " She has ALWAYS had me." Shikamaru growled and lunged towards Kiba. " Shikamaru!!" Hinata screamed as he and Kiba wrestled. Gaara smirked. " Told you to bring Akamaru but nooooo." " Oh shut up Gaara! I can so beat him, I was just stalling for … dramatic effects?" Kiba huffed under the weight of Shikamaru. " Seriously! How much do you weigh?" Naruto screamed " Shikamaru!! It's useless, you lost her." Shikamaru jumped up and ran out of the room. Naruto followed . " Kiba, you've won the girl of your dreams, how does our lucky man feel?" Gaara asked almost, ALMOST, laughing. " Actually, I feel very good." Kiba said blushing. So it was official, he was in love with Ino. He began blushing even more and mumbled something to Gaara in a thanks-for-picking-Konoha-if-it-were-not-for-you-I-would-not-be-happy-and-in-love tone. " Umm… Gaara, what about the treaty?" Kiba asked. Gaara smacked his forehead. "Oh yeah! That's kinda the mission, well I'll take Hinata, you stay here and wait for Ino and when she gets out I'll meet you two at the Hokage's office. See-ya!" Gaara turned and left with Hinata following close behind. " see you Gaara!" Kiba said smiling.
10 minutes later…
Ino was laying in her hospital bed while Sakura finished dressing her wounds. " Sakura, how long have I been out of surgery? And why won't me look in a mirror?" Sakura winced. " Uhhh, four hours, and about the mirror… here." Sakura handed Ino a mirror. Ino looked. "HOLY MOO!!! SAKURA!!! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY HAIR?!?!" Ino picked up a strand of her now jet-black hair. " Well Ino, it was gonna be stained red, because of the blood, so I Kind of permanently died it black… enjoy!" Sakura screamed as she ran out of the room. " I guess it can't be helped," Ino said. Although The black did make her eyes stand out. Just then Ino heard a chuckle. She turned to see Shikamaru standing at the doorway. "EH?" She peeped pulling her sheets all the way up. " What do you want, Shikamaru?" "I thought I would check up on my girlfriend, you are still my girlfriend, right?" Shikamaru smirked, "Or, are you with Dogboy now?" Ino smiled, just the mention of Kiba made her want to smile. "well, he cares for me more than you ever did! Now get out!" "Make me!" Ino was still too weak to force the jerk out of the room so she was about to give up, then Kiba "magically" appeared(He had been there the whole time. He heard what Ino said which really made him happy.) to her rescue. "I do believe she asked you to leave, but I guess your hard of hearing now aren't you" Kiba said. He looked towards Ino, " Ino are you well enough to walk? Ry-…" Kiba quickly looked around as if someone were gonna tackle him for saying that. "Gaara, wants me to take you to your new office, I can carry you if you want." He said slightly blushing. Shikamaru got up and left the room. Naruto was right, Ino wasn't his any more. Kiba walked over to Ino's bed and sat down. Ino realized that ever since he came back to Konoha he had been wearing his hood down, she thought that made him look more attractive. "Ino, ever since we were younger I have wanted to tell you something, and…" Kiba looked down blushing. " and, I want to say t-that I l-Love you." He looked into Ino's eyes( which were really noticeable because of her hair) and leaned in closer. Ino also leaned in but stopped when they heard a quiet "Ahhhhh" They turned to see all the hospital staff had walked in on their blooming love. At this both Kiba and Ino sweat-dropped. Kiba picked Ino up and jumped out the window making his way to the Hokage's office. But he stopped halfway there to give Ino a kiss ( yes people on the lips, they are officially a couple.).
