A/N- Yes yes, i know. Late. Very late. BUT here's the chapter! Um. For those people who are waiting on Killer, really sorry. I'm really trying to finish that up. What i do with that one is go to the doc and write a bit over a period of time. You know. Continuously. SO. Yeah. If i can get this done, then i dont see why i cant get the other one done. Cuz it was the same thing for this one. Ive been writting this one a bit and a bit, over time.

Disclaimer- I DO NOT OWN NARUTO. sad.

She walked down the hall way, lights passing by above her head. Light laughter erupted near the front of the jagged line her and her friends made. The laughter sounded like a sonic boom to her, making her feel irritated, as if she had an itch she couldn't scratch. Her eyes tightened as she saw the pink headed woman smile at the other woman next to her. Her fist clenched at her sides as the teddy brown hair woman laughed away. It has been 3 minutes, and already she couldn't take this fight.

"Hey Ino, you alright?" asked Temari, looking at her with a frown.

Ino blinked; surprised that Temari was even talking to her, let alone walking next to her, "Uh, yeah…" She said, looking at Temari carefully, as if she was about to explode.

Temari rolled her eyes, "Don't look at me like that, I was just being concerned."

Ino blinked twice more, even more surprised, "Why? It's not like you really care."

"Obviously I'd have to care some to ask, slut." Temari insulted.

Ino countered in a whisper, "Bitch"

"Hoe"

"Cunt"

They became silent for a second. Ino was the first to break the silence, laughing a bit.

"What are you laughing at?" Temari asked, looking at her weirdly.

"Its like the first time we met all over again." Was all Ino said, shaking her head. It felt a little better to take her mind off of Sakura.

Temari smiled slightly, "Oh yeah."

They became silent again.

Ino sighed, "Look, I'm sorry about earlier."

Temari shrugged it off, "It's Sakura who I'm mostly mad at, not you. It was gonna happen either way."

"Is that why you're talking to me?"

Temari looked ahead, shrugging again, "I don't know why I'm talking to you actually. Well, at first it was because I thought you were going to have another attack, but I don't know, it's not like I really disliked you or anything, just how I act around certain people."

Ino looked at her with disbelief, "Well doesn't that make a great first impression."

Temari laughed, "Yeah, I guess."

"So you really don't hate me?"

Temari rolled her eyes, "No slut, I don't hate you. Just needed to warm up to you, and since your dying and all, I might as well speed up the process."

"Oh wow, thanks." Ino said in sarcasm.

Temari smiled, "Any time. Now, why aren't you and Sakura walking together?"

"Fight." Was all Ino said.

Temari nodded, "Sucks, but don't stare down Ten-Ten like that, she might burst into flames."

Ino mumbled, "Was kind of hoping something like that."

Temari laughed, "Very jealous, aren't you."

"Whatever," She said, sticking her tongue out at her.

"Mature too! Sakura defiantly knows how to pick 'em."

"Shut up." Ino said, elbowing her, Temari just laughed.

Just then Sakura turned around, looking for who said her name. She frowned slightly as she saw Ino and Temari walking together, and Ino could have sworn she saw a hint of jealously. She turned back around quickly.

"I think she's jealous," Whispered Temari.

Ino smiled slightly, "I think so too. Why do you think she is?"

"Maybe, because I'm over here talking to you and giving her the silent treatment." Temari said with a shrug.

"Maybe. I don't care; at least she's getting a dose of what I'm feeling."

"Oh, trying to make her suffer? Me and you are going to get along just fine." Temari nodded.

Ino smiled, "You know you aren't that bad when you're not being a total bitch."

Temari grinned, "I try."

They reached an open door, they went down some stairs.

"What, no elevators?" Temari grumbled, walking down the steps.

"Tired already?"

"Lazy, I don't feel like going down some damn steps."

Ino rolled her eyes.

They all reached a door. It was thick and plain silver, almost gray. There wasn't a window, or even a handle to open it, just a slot to slide in a card to get access. Ten-Ten pulled out her called, and swiped it quickly, but carefully. The door released a small amount of air and opened slowly. As it did, a wind of cold air rushed over them all, causing Ino to shiver. Temari shivered too.

"Air tight place, this must be where they do a lot of things." Temari mumbled to Ino.

"Why do you think that," Ino whispered back, rubbing her arm.

"Seems official enough, plus air tight means they are trying to keep the bug income low. You know germs, bacteria, and what not. Plus its cold, which means there must be some medicine and herb bending here."

"Medicine and herb bending?"

"You know, mixing and- I don't know how to explain." Temari whispered quickly, because just then they started to file into the room.

The place was huge, and of course, walled with almost blinding white walls. The ceiling was high above their heads, maybe 20 ft. or so. The tiles were as white as possible, and very clean to match. Every where stood white with black top tables, science room tables, big and rectangular. Tubes and glass bottles sat everywhere, some filled with different colored liquid, and some empty. There was even some sitting in holders on a machine, most likely spinning them or shaking them around. Glass see through cabinets sat everywhere around the room, holding more glass bottles, tubes, needles, and anything a doctor might need.

Ino looked around, suddenly feeling uneasy.

"You're lookin pale." Temari stated, looking around with her.

"I don't know about this." Ino answered, trying to resist the urge to throw up.

"Too late now, just relax."

Just then Sakura turned around, staring at the crowd. She looked into every single persons eyes, "This is the emergency room. This isn't where we save lives on the brick of dying, this is where we try to solve a problem that went wrong with a patient that has…" She paused.

"Died," Ten-Ten said for Sakura.

Sakura gave her a grateful look briefly, and continued, "This is a place where doctors and any other medical associated person comes to solve disaster, something that has slipped past us and needs to be solved immediately for the next case that might come. Naturally, we came here. This is a place where we can find everything we need." She paused again, her eyes met Ino's and she quickly looked away, continuing, "Of course we worked on patients down here when they were… well… But for the most part, we…" Something caught her throat, and she cleared it, trying again, "We…"

"We normally don't solve the problem in time." Ten-Ten said softly.

Everyone was silent. Ino's heart pounded, and she felt light headed. She grabbed Temari's arm.

Temari quickly got infront of her and looked her dead in the eyes, "Nu uh, not now. Breathe correctly. Normal breaths."

Light headedness started to take over Ino. Everyone was now crowded around her. All she saw was faces.

Naruto.

Sasuke.

Shino.

Lee.

.ShikamaruChoji.

"Back up, your crowding her!" Temari yelled.

Ino shivered, and unconsciously she pressed against Temari, looking for some type of warmth.

"Shit, she's burning up." Temari said. She wrapped her arms around Ino, trying to hold up Ino as she slowly started to lose her balance, "Sakura what do I do!"

Ino didn't know if Sakura answered or came. She looked at Temari as she gradually collapsed. She didn't know how she was still standing.

Fading, and black gradually took her sight.

"Don't close your eyes!" Temari yelled, but all Ino could see was her lips moving. Then, nothing but darkness.

"Shit." Temari said, holding the limp girl in her arms, "Boy, she's a drama queen to be fainting like that." Trying to joke, but everyone, even her, couldn't let go of the seriousness.

"What can we do to help her?" Shikamaru said, but even his calm voice sounded a bit rushed.

Sakura stared at Ino, and then glanced at Shikamaru, glaring at him, "Nothing. We can't do anything, but start working to figure this out," Ten-Ten put her hand on Sakura's shoulder, but she shrugged it off, "We need to start this now before we are too late…"

Sakura rubbed her eyes, and then looked back at Ino.

"What do we do then, Sakura?" Asked Naruto softly.

She straightened her back, staring ahead, "You, Naruto go with Kiba." She turned to Kiba, "You and Akamaru and sniff out any type of information you can find on this. Shikamaru, you'll take that information and put it in a presentable case. Hinata and Sasuke, you see if you can find Yamanaka, we need him if we have the approval of trial. And you, Choji, need to get food for everyone. We are going to be stuck here for awhile. Shino you stay with me and Ten-Ten, maybe your bugs can adapt and find a cure…Neji and Lee; you do anything that you think might help. "

Sakura paused, looking at everyone with dull eyes, "We only have six days. So, this will have to be speedy, and it'll be kind of messy. But, we can definitely do this. Sasuke and Hinata, you both don't have much of a time limit in till I call and give you the court date. We will have enough evidence for approval of trial. I know that much."

She closed her eyes, and breathed out softly, then opened her eyes slowly, "Project Ino is now officially… a go."

As go left Sakura's lips, there was a puff of smoke. And as the smoke cleared, what was left were Shino, Temari, and Lee standing in front of her. Everyone else disappeared.

Sakura turned around, walking towards the middle of the room. In the middle of the room was a doctor's bed, only surrounded by a glass box. In there was a rolling table, and on top laid stainless steel tools. Sakura turned around as she grabbed the door handle, "Lee, carry her in here, and lay her on the bed."

Temari followed behind Lee, while Ten-Ten went to the nearest computer and started typing.

"Why are we putting her in here?" Temari asked as Lee laid her on the bed.

"She needs to be scanned and looked at. Plus, it's the only bed in here." Ten-Ten answered.

Lee walked out, and closed the door behind him. He stood next to Temari with his arms crossed, "Things will be alright. Her youth will fight away all the bad."

Temari glanced at Lee, and he smiled slightly at her, "Right?"

Temari nodded, watching as Sakura put the needles in Ino's arm and the EEG on her temples and her forehead, "Yeah. Nothing can beat the youth and stubbornness that girl has."

Lee continued to smile, watching Sakura for a second, and then walking towards Ten-Ten.

"Anything I can do?"

Ten-Ten looked up at Lee and smiled, "Yeah, you can do…"

Temari stopped listening, paying attention to Sakura and Ino. Ino started to sweat more, and she watched as cared for Ino carefully. Temari could sense the sorrow in Sakura. She folded her arms and shook her head, mumbling, "She has to make it…"

Yeah? What do you think?

:)

I'll try to update soon.
