Chapter 23: Wait!? I'm where!?
Ino stayed up all night watching and guarding the siblings. She had decided to move them to the cave since it would keep them better hidden. Plus it looked like rain.
(lol)
Morning came and she decided to wake them up....well was going to until all three surprised her when they were up and about.
"Morning,"She greeted to them all. They smiled back except Ichigo, who was still horrified from the sights of the battle. Especially the last part where Mori died right in front on her.
"Ino-sama, Arigato for protecting us. No doubt about it he would have killed us."Minato said, before bowing shallowly. Retsu and Ichigo nodded in agreement and went back to packing up their things.
After they had finshed, she put them back into the summoning scroll and was about to head out she heard something towards the back of the cave.
"Ino-sama, where are you going?"Ichigo whispered, looking at the blonde get off Yoshitune and stared at the back.
"I'm gonna check something out."She said in a monotone.
The siblings watched her fade into the darkness as she went farther and farther into the back.
Ino was so surprised when she was suddenly thrown back into the wall. She hit the wall with such force, the cave started shaking a bit.
"Gah!!"Blood splurted out of her mouth and onto the ground as Ino sat up from her knees. She opened her eye and dodged another deadly blow coming from a weird looking man.
He had orange hair that was spiked up, and part of his body was transformed into a monster. One of his arms was like a giant club. His patterns looked strangely familar....like Sasuke's body in cursed mark form.
"Mind Calming Jutsu!"Ino yelled, quickly forming the seals as he charged toward her again. He was very fast compared to Ino's other attackers. Ino usually was faster than most of the people she fought....except the Akatsuki, and him.
"Ino-sama are you okay!!!"Someone's voice yelled from the start of the cave.
"I'm fine! Stay up there!"Ino yelled back, to keep from endangering them. She turned back to the weird man and watched in amazement at how calm he looked. He actually had a smile on his face.
Ino got up and was about to turn back to her group when the cave shook again and rocks fell from the ceiling. Her arms quickly and reflexively shot up to protect her from any falling on her head.
"AAAAAAAaAAA!!!"She screamed one big and some other rocks fell on her foot. It pained her enough to the point she removed her hands from their defensive position and tried to get her foot from under.
"INO!!"Retsu screamed, upon hearing her scream and seeing rocks fall from the ceiling.
"Yoshi!!! Get them outta here! Take them to base! I'll meet you guys there!!"Ino ordered, her mind registering that the group was still in the cave.
"Hai!"Yoshitune said, and ran out, with the other dogs on his tail.
Ino eyed around and saw that the man had disappeared actually. She tried to get the rocks up, but she couldn't. It wasn't that she was weak..it was the shock, fear, and pain that was running through her veins.
Ino looked up and got hit in the face with a rock that tumbled down, causing her world to go black.

A few hours later...and after visiting the Oracle.....
"Leader-sama...We brought the siblings as you wanted."Yoshitune said, pawing at Leader's office door first to let him know he was there if he wasn't already sensed.
"Oh...where's Ino? I need her to file the report."Pein said, not even looking up from a paper right in front of his face.
"Yea...about that...some rocks fell on her and she said she'd be back later since they fell on her foot...I'm going back to get. No doubt about it, she's hurt."Yoshi said turning away.
"She was in a cave-in?!"Pein asked, now this caught his attention.
"Hai."
"Take Deidara with you, he'll help you."Pein said. Yoshitune nodded and ran for Deidara. He sniffed him out in the living room.
"Deidara-san. Leader-sama wants you to come with me to retreive Ino-Danna."Yoshitune explained. Deidara got up and said.
"What happened to her?!"
"Cave-in. rocks fell on her foot. She's no doubt about it limping."Yoshitune said, nodding toward his back.
Deidara got on, and took off towards the exit.

Ino awoke to a bright light shining in her face. She looked over to see the room she was in. She also noticed she was naked under the blanket that was over her body. She felt the bandages on her foot and around her midsection and neck.
Ino looked around and saw it was just a plain room....but where?
There door opened and there stood a white haired guy who looked very very familiar.
"Yamanaka-san? You're up. I am-"He started off before it clicked where Ino knew him from.
"You're Yakushi Kabuto....where am I?"She asked, sitting up a little and holding the blanket close to her body so he or anybody else could see her body.
"You are here in Lord Orochimaru's camp. I fixed you up. You won't be walking on that foot for a while."Kabuto filled her in.
"Why am I here?"Ino asked.
"I don't know myself. Sasuke carried you in here."Kabuto said, with a small smirk as he watched Ino's facial emotions.
"...."Ino said, while thinking,'That bastard!'
The door opened again and this the guy Ino thought she'd never see again entered...Sasuke.
"Kabuto. I thought I said no one was to enter this room."Sasuke said emotionless, staring at the white haired boy, man, whatever he is.
"I know, Sasuke-kun. That's why I came in here."Kabuto said, closing the door behind him with a very nasty smile on his face.
"What do you want!?"Ino asked, her face red with anger.
"Ino. I want some information."Sasuke said, still emotionlessly.
"And you think I'm gonna tell you anything?!"
"Hai, you are....I want to know what is Konoha planning to do towards me? Naruto and Sakura are showing up in this area more frequently..."Sasuke said.
Ino rolled her eyes, scoffed, and said,"Don't know, don't care. I could care less with what they wanna do with you!"
"You do know. As far as I remember, you are Tsunade's trusted few who get information directly from her. As well as the Chief of Konoha's Interrogation Unit."Sasuke monotoned.
"....Are you stalking me?"Ino asked, with a flirtacious smile on her face. As well as her interrogation skills had grown, so had her ability to lie...except to her parents who were Yamanakas as well and had the ability to sense people's emotions just as well as she had.
"No. Now answer the question."Sasuke on the inside was growing kinda....weird. He knew Ino was playing with him..yet he was allowing himself to be played.
"I don't have a reason why I should."Ino said, with a smile again. She layed down and said,"I want my clothes."
"I have no reason why I should get them for you."Sasuke said, coldly, closing the door behind him.
"Bastard!"Ino yelled at the door. She glanced at the door again when it opened about 30 seconds later.
"Here you are, Yamanka-san."Kabuto said, placing the clothes at the end of her bed,"Call me when you are done. Lord Orochimaru wants for you to be at dinner with us."
Ino shivered after he closed the door and said to herself,"I need to get the hell outta here....but with this foot, I can't."
..What!? Sasuke's back!? What does he want...wait well he already said what he wanted.....oh well...im gonna have kicks writing the next chapter....keep in mind people. this story will end in a few chapters!!! but i will post up my last story that's done. Mwahaha!!!!
