Hey people!

Surprised to see me so soon? I know I am!

I'm just in a writing mood lately, even though I should really be doing homework. This story is one that I'm not even planning. I writing it to keep my creative juices flowing so it's kind of an improvisation story.

My other stories and more planned out but I like this one because I feel more free with it.

I don't own Naruto or Charmed.

Suppose that's it for now…

Ino POV

While Hinata and Temari had way more experience, they still wanted to train a lot for the exams. Hinata most likely wanted to improve that power of hers. I have to admit I'm slightly envious of her power, but I guess mine will come to me eventually. For now, I suppose I'll probably spend most of my time reading the BOS, hanging out with Shikamaru and Choji and most likely preparing for the invasion.

Sakura and I were still sworn enemies during this time period, so I can't exactly go hang out with her, and Tenten and I had never spoke as far as I can remember. Maybe I'll find some excuses, but for now most of our meetings should probably be in secret.

Hinata and Sakura could probably hang out and get away with it. Not only does the Hokage know they're witches, but everyone knows Hinata had a massive crush on Naruto. She's not going to be the stuttering mess she used to be, but people will still assume she's getting all pally pally with Sakura to get closer to Naruto.

And she would let them believe just that.

As I think this, I walk into the flower shop and put on an apron. I'd forgotten what it was like to work in this flower shop. After Konoha had gotten destroyed, I didn't really help out there anymore; my services being needed for other ninja-related things.

It felt kind of nice to be able to look around Konoha and remember how beautiful it was. One thing is for certain: Konoha will NOT be destroyed a second time. Surely as witches we have the power to stop it. Even if Hinata is the only one with a power at the moment, I can already see that the outcome will be different. A good different.

"Hello?" A voice asked and I immediately dragged myself out of my head to great the customer.

"Hi!" I said brightly. "Welcome to Yamanaka flower shop. What can I do for you?"

The customer, clearly a civilian, was a middle aged lady with a gentle smile and kind eyes. "I'd like to purchase some roses." The lady informed me. "It is my husband's birthday today and I want some flowers to go with the other gifts I bought him. I like them fresh, always purchase them the day I need 'em, I do."

I smiled at the lady and proceeded to wrap up the flowers she wanted. "There you go. Have a nice day!"

The rest of my day carried on in a similar fashion. By the time my shift had ended, I decided to get something to eat and headed towards the nearest food shop.

When I walked in, I spotted Temari, her brothers and their sensei also eating in there. Making it look as nonchalantly as possible, I took a seat directly across the room from Temari, making sure I caught her eye without drawing attention from the other three at her table.

She nodded her head slightly and then mouthed something I hardly made out. I was a good lip reader, but Temari was barely moving her lips and I had to strain my eyes to figure out what she was saying.

Gaara is thirsty.

Right. Better to stay away from Gaara while he's still crazy. Yes, I could hold my own just fine against many enemies, but Gaara had the Shukaku and it would just ruin things if people found out I wasn't that easily killed by him.

Might as well head her words and save myself a headache. Naruto will get through to him, anyway, so it's just a matter of waiting. I nodded my head at her and then told the waiter my order.

When I'd been this age last time, I'd always made sure to eat light to make sure I stayed thin. After Konoha had been destroyed, I couldn't be as picky due to the rations. In time I realised how stupid I'd been begin with. Yes, eating food the way Choji does isn't healthy unless you're an Akimichi, but eating like I did didn't really help at all. I'm an active ninja who trains regularly. I don't need to eat the least amount possible to stay in shape.

Of course, try telling a just turned teenager how to manage their diet and the outcome will most likely be negative…

My food turned up and I ate slowly, allowing myself a glance at Temari's table from time to time.

She'd finished her food and was waiting for Kankuro and Baki to finish. I didn't even think Gaara had ordered anything apart from a cup of coffee. Speaking of Gaara, luck had it that I just happened to make eye contact with him. He glared at me but didn't seem like he was plotting to kill me – much.

I drank the rest of my water, shoved a few more forkfuls of food into my mouth, paid for my dinner and then headed out of the shop.

It was getting dark now, and I decided to take the long way back to my house b walking through a small park. Once I'd got there, I sat on the swing set for a while and for the first time since getting here, really thought about my situation.

I was a witch. I was a witch from the future. I was supposed to vanquish demons that weren't even from this world all the while maintaining my career as a ninja. Yes, I may have been seventeen mentally, but every other part of me was barely thirteen. It was a lot of pressure, but I assume that there are also a lot of pros to a gig like this. Hinata's power, for example, could literally get her out of any situation, even if it was just a tedious conversation she really didn't want to endure.

I sighed and carried on towards my house. It was getting late and I hadn't even talked to my mum or dad since getting back to this time period. Worrying about things never changed the outcome. I'd just have to train, read the BOS and hope I'm prepared whenever I meet my first demon.

So I know there wasn't a lot of action in this one but I thought I'd give you guys an Ino POV on this whole ordeal.

I am once again going to apologise if I focus a lot on Hinata but I can't help but focus on her a lot because as I've said before she's my favourite Naruto character and I really just don't realise I focus on her a lot.

Wow, I said 'focus a lot' many, many times in that last paragraph. I believe that was rather annoying to read.

Anyway, let me know what you guys thought of it. I've got work soon so I didn't have enough time to look up spellings. If I've got something wrong then let me know and I'll sort it out

Like I've said, I've updated 'Shyness IS NOT ALLOWED IN YOUR VOCABULARY!' and 'Melting an Ice Queen' so check them out if you haven't because I'd really appreciate it.

Guess that's all…

See ya later alligators!
