The two blonds walked in silence both sharing the same thoughts,about not wanting to be together 'Why do I have to be teamed up with him!?' Of all people, dammit this just isn't my week' Naruto just grumbled sometimes swearing under his breath but she brushed it off. Time seemed to be passing by really slowly; they just wanted to get the damn prince so they could hurry up and go back home. 'This mission sucks! Why do I always have luck like this, partners nothin! I could do this on my own' not really paying attention to where he was going Naruto wind on stumbling over a large tree root and was not fast enough to catch his balance.

"Oof!" Naruto slowly got up and rubbed his backside "Dammit I need to be more carful". Ino had a small smile on her face and simply bit her cheek to keep from laughing, but she couldn't help but to giggle. Naruto squinted his eyes and glared at her "what's so funny" he shouted not wanting to show his embarrassment.

That did it Ino couldn't contain it anymore and bust out laughing " you busting your ass that's what's so damn funny" a small blush rose to his cheeks and he continued to walk. Ino laughing finally stopped "hey you ok?" she asked a small hint of concern in her voice, although the boy could be annoying sometimes he was still a good comrade and friend.

He glanced at her then switched his eyes back on the path "yeah I'm fine" he slowed down a bit giving her a chance to catch up. Pretty soon it was back to the same uncomfortable silence as before. Naruto stared ahead and occasionally looked at the sky to see the time of day. Ino was lost in her thoughts 'damn I'm soo bored, I wonder what the prince will look like, he does have to be young right! I hope he's cute' a dreamy look came onto her face as she pictured the way the prince looked like a sigh escaped her lips. Naruto looked over in her direction only to see a dreamy look on the girl's face.

"probably thinking about Sasuke" Naruto snorted knowing that she was also a fan of his.

Ino huffed and crossed her arms across her chest "what i'm thinking about is none of your business". Naruto rolled his eyes and began to walk ahead of her 'what else is new?' Seeing her partner walk ahead of her Ino began to pick up the pace so she can catch up to him; although she really didn't feel like being near him, she didn't like to be alone when it was starting to get dark. "Hey are we gonna stop somewhere or what?"

Naruto eye twitched this girl was going to be the end of his life not even Sakura complained this much 'I wonder what she's doing, I forgot to tell her I was leaving, she must be worried…' "HEY YOU LISTENING!!"

"YEAH I HEARD YOU STOP FREAKING YELLING!!!" he snapped, gosh she didn't even give him a chance to think. He could see the anger on her face even though it was nearly dark; he was already getting ready to scream back.

"Well next time you should try answering!! Common I see a perfect spot" she began to walk off of the path into a place not to far from it. Naruto quickly followed her, this was going to be a long mission.

The next day Sakura woke up happy this morning glad that she didn't have to dream about him. Quickly getting dressed she decided to go out and practice today. "Bye mom" she quickly left the house and to the training ground. After working up a sweat she decided to go get something to eat, her stomach growled and a faint blush covered her cheeks she was glad that no one was around. Walking quickly through the town something was pulling at her to go to ichiraku ramen spot. 'Why am I going here, I'm not even in the mood to eat ramen'. Finally reaching the place she peered inside and sat on the stool soon Teuchi came out, "hey Teuchi have you seen Naruto anywhere?"

The man shook his head and raised an eyebrow "now that you mention it he hasn't been in here yesterday either…that odd" Sakura began to look worried 'where could he be?' she waved goodbye and decide to go ask the hokage. When Sakura reached Tsunade's office she gently knocked on the door. She walked in and was surprised to only see Tsunade.

"Tsunade Sama, do you know where Naruto is?" Sakura asked politely.

Tsunade didn't even look up from her paper work "he's on a mission with Ino and won't be back for a week or two"

"Ooh" Sakura said looking down at the desk "that's two bad" 'HELL YES!! I GET BOTH OF THOSE ANNOYING BASTARDS OUT OF MY HAIR FOR AT LEAST TWO WEEKS!!' Sakura tried not to let the grin show on her face, sure Ino and Naruto her friends, but they both can just get on her nerves sometimes. Sakura left the office with a smile on her face.

------------------------------

Ino and Naruto once again continued travel towards where the prince was located they actually managed to get a small conversation started. It was now mid day and both Ino and Naruto were beginning to feel hunger pains, even though Naruto had just eaten in the morning complaining on how a large hare was only a snack. Ino still concerned with her weight, decided to pass up on the animal going on about how it could ruin her figure…but that was six hours ago and now she was really starting to wish she had some of the meat. Finally after a few more minutes of walking "hey Naruto when do you think we can get stop to get something to eat, i'm hungry"

"so am I, but its easier for you, since you so worried about figure why don't you just go eat some of the grass or leaves that should be able to fill you up" Naruto smirked, wanting to see the girl for some odd reason get upset. Probably because there was nothing better to do.

Ino on the other hand was not in the mood for one of his jokes, she was to hungry and wanted to eat something now! "you jerk! What the hell do I look like some kind've animal, you better go get me something Naruto before I kill you!!" the look on her face was enough to scare anybody and soon Naruto ran into the woods looking for something to eat before he was brutally murdered by a blond hair girl that could'nt get her own damn food.
