Chapter 4: Deadly Secret

"So What's the plan for her?"Tobi asked Pein, who stood across the table from him. They were the only two up, Ino was in a spare bed. She was locked in from the outside though.

"If the statue accepts her chakra, she'll make the replacement for the kyuubi spirit. If not, we'll have to put her extra chakra to some use."Pein answered.

Tobi nodded and uncrossed his arms from over his chest,"Deidara will watch over her, until you find out those secrets she's protecting."

"All I have to do is get her when her guard is down. I'll do it now, her guard should be down when she's sleeping."Pein said, before he and Tobi got up and going to the room Konan set Ino in. He opened the door and walked over to the right side of Ino's bed and concentrated on the girl laying in the bed. He got inside her mind and he was right, it was off guard. He also looking into her memories and saw....

Ino was in fact off guard and was dreaming of her friends, family, and Sasuke.

Flashback in dream....

"Hey Ino-pig!! You're gonna lose! Sasuke-kun doesn't like you!!"the younger Sakura yelled in the face of a younger Ino.

"What!? Why would Sasuke-kun pay attention to you!? He'd be too much caught up in that big forehead of yours!!!"Younger Ino screamed back.

Sakura and Ino both growled at each other before Sakura lunged for Ino's hair.

Sakura and Ino then got into a catfight which involved Sakura pulling Ino's long ponytail while Ino winded Sakura. Ino then jumped on her and punched her in her face twice, before Sakura rolled Ino over and started choking Ino.

Ino's subconciousness twitched when she felt a disturbance in her conscious. Her mind went back on guard and put up barriors.

...but not before Pein found out her secret...

(Here the deadly ssecret comes......badum badum badum....)

Here I'll even put it in flashback form...

*Flashback*

Ino and an identical replica sat on the floor of the forest. They were in the Land of Honey.

"Let's go,"Ino said, standing up.

"Wait! We gotta make a plan, Ino. You can't just go barging in!"

"Fine, Yumi."Ino huffed before sitting down next to Yumi. Here's some info, Yumi is Ino's cousin. They look identical while their personalities are someWhat different. Yumi is more cautious and shy, where as Ino is carefree and outgoing. but opposites do attract after all, since they were best friends. You called one and got both.

"So What's the plan?"The replica said.

"We go in, quietly, and quickly sneak out."Yumi said. Ino nodded and both girls hopped into clearing. They quickly and quietly gained access to the hideout. Neither could sense any other chakra signatures.

They got What they wanted and was on the way out when a two dudes bursted into the hideout and blocked their way out. One was buff while the other was lanky.

"Where do you two think you're going?"One smirked. Yo had orange hair and blue eyes. He had a dangerous look on his face. The other looked had electric blue hair and a bored look on his face.

"Home."Ino answered.

"Why are you here?"The bored looking fella asked.

"No reason,"Yumi answered.

"We-,"The bored one started but the other guy cut him off and said,"I got this. You go stand guard."

"Fine, fine, fine. Take your time, I'll be sleeping on the side of the hill when you're done."And with that he left.

"Well, Let's have some fun now. You're both very pretty and I plan to have soo much fun."He said.

In a flash, he had Yumi pinned up against the wall and a kunai to her neck.

"Disbehave and I kill her." He smirked before lowering his head and taking in the sweet smell of flowers on her neck.

"Let her g-!"Ino yelled but Yumi said,"It's okay, Ino. I'll be fine."

Ino sat down and watched the man rape her cousin. The horror.......no lols...serious topic here.

"Time to have some fun with you now."The man smirked before grabbing Ino roughly by her forearm. Yumi caught Ino's eye and Ino kicked him while Yumi stabbed him with an unknown kunai she had hidden very well. He was stabbed fatally in the heart.

but in return he very quickly till the point it couldn't be seen, pierced Yumi fatally with a katana, through the heart as well.

"Gotcha little girl."He smirked before he fell for to the ground.

"Yumi!!!"Ino screamed, lunging for her cousin.

"Ino....take care of the family...and keep the tailed beast safe and secret..I'll always be there for you..even when you think I'm not...I love you, and tell everyone I love them too."Yumi said, her eyes fluttering as the life left them.

"Yumi nooo!!!"Ino screamed, pulling her best friend, cousin, and family into the tightest hug she'd ever give.

Ino sobbed and grieved for a long time, before she finally picked up the body and headed back for Konoha.

*End of Dream/Flashback*

Ino awoke with tears streaming down her face.

"What'd you see?"Tobi asked, as Pein backed up a little. He shook his head a little and headed for the door. Tobi followed. They went all the way back to the kitchen, before Pein finally told him.

"I saw her memories. That was all I saw before she put her guard back on."Pein said, shaking his head at the memory he just saw.

"That was it?"

"I told didn't I?"Pein asked.

"Right..I just expected more. We don't have all day coz you wanna look at the kunoichi's memories."

Pein rolled his eyes and left for his room, leaving Tobi speechless.

Ino panted and she realized who was in her mind. Ino went into a rage!

(you should have seen it!! Awesome!!!)

She ripped her covers off her bed and threw them down in the closet. Fortunately the closet was long and wide enough for her to fit in it. She threw down her pillow and silently slammed the door shut. She fell asleep in there too.
