Sai's POV:
Wrestling. Boring. Reality TV. Boring. Oprah...perhaps. I shifted on the couch in the apartment Ino and I shared while sipping a beer. I rubbed a hand across my jaw and regretted not shaving, but I had been too exhausted from the constant stream of ANBU missions the ANBU squads had been going on to help secure Konoha for Naruto's inauguration. I would complain if I hadn't been so happy for his dream coming true. Not to mention it helps ends meet, and Ino's teaching job doesn't bring in much. I'm still glad that she's not in the line of fire, though.
As I was contemplating Oprah's words of wisdom, the front door literally burst open, and Ino flew in in a blond flurry. I surged off the couch and called after her.
"Uhh...Ino?" She didn't answer, and I doubt she even heard me or noticed my presence. I followed her into our bedroom to see her tearing up our closet. What the hell?
"Is something wrong? What the hell is going on, Ino?" I asked. She whirled around, looking very much like a deer in headlights.
"Sorrysaican'ttalkrigtnow." She sputtered out then returned to what I assumed was packing, but could have been anything from a strange female ritual to communicating with the dead. Needless to say, I didn't catch anything she said.
"Ok, that's...cool? Are you packing for something or...?" I asked slowly. She zipped up the backpack and turned to me.
"Lady Tsunade wants to assign you your mission, and she'll explain everything. I just want you to know that it's not my fault!" With that said she clapped her hands over my ears, kissed me square on the lips, and darted out the door before I could get the mushy glazed look out of my eyes. What just happened?
I quickly got myself looking and smelling acceptable for my visit with the Hokage and hurried over there. Apparently Ino has something to do with my mission, and the fact that a chunnin like Ino is involved in an ANBU mission is definitely unusual. A bad feeling settled in the pit of my stomach. Something is fishy about this, and I'm going to find out what faster than Ino can badly pack.
Ok that's chapter 2. I tried to keep Sai's general quirkiness, for he is a rather quirky person. Thanks for reading and for the reviews :)
