//Last time//

"Are you just going to allow me to stand here? I'm an S-ranked criminal!" Sasuke said. "Aren't you afraid that I might get away or even kill you?"

"…"

"Fine. Have it your way…" He said pretending to run away.

"Don't!" Ino finally said.

"Good to know that you can still speak." Sasuke teased.

"If you're still expecting people here to treat you the same, then you shouldn't." Ino said. "You're not anymore the boy everybody loves before."

"Ino! Why so hostile?"

"It's not only me. It's everybody else." Ino stated. "So don't expect me to be treating you the same. For me, you're only a traitor and nothing else."


Chapter 5: Face to Face

By: Ino Y. Uchiha "Ami Sano"

"You can't be more serious, Ino" Sasuke said, half jokingly.

"But Sasuke-kun…" Ino said mockingly. "…I am"

Sasuke was about to open his mouth to respond to that, only to have her walk away.

=Back in the office=

"Where is Ino?" The Godaime, Tsunade asked him.

Sasuke looked down on the floor, ashamed that he; one of the most powerful criminals in the Fire Country couldn't even make someone like her change her mind. "She…walked-out on me."

"Is that so?" Tsunade raised a brow, as she signed papers.

Sasuke nodded.

Tsunade sighed and called for the ANBU, in which two responded.

"What do you need, Tsunade-sama?" One of the ANBU asked.

"Escort him..." She simply replied. "… to the Interrogation Building."

"Hai, Tsunade-sama" The two ANBU said, and saluted.

They were about to leave when Tsunade called for them again and both turned to face her.

She put the papers she signed on a envelope and neatly sealed it and handed it to the ANBU. "Also, give them to Yamanaka Ino."

"Hai."

With that, the two left, bringing Sasuke with them.

~XOXO~

'I wonder what going to happen next?' Tsunade thought to herself, while sipping on a cup of sake.

~XOXO~

Ino was busily reviewing the papers of her past interrogations when a knock on was heard on the door of her office.

"Come in." She said, putting the files in a drawer.

The two ANBU came in, and with Sasuke in chains.

"Why is he here?" Ino said, her anger building up again.

"The Godaime told us to bring him in here." One of the ANBU said as he gave Ino the envelope. "She also wants to give you this."

Ino thanked the ANBU and asked them to leave.

The ANBU nodded and then left.

~XOXO~

Ino sighed as she opened the envelope.

"What? And am I just going to stand here?" Sasuke complained.

"Just to let you know, there's a chair in front of you and it's empty." She said, while reading the papers from the envelope.

Sasuke sat down in grumpily, for he didn't like this new 'Ino' one bit.

Few minutes passed and there was silence was bugging him.

Yes, the Uchiha Sasuke couldn't stand the silence anymore. He was not used to Ino being quiet all the time and he doesn't want it to be that way.

"Aren't you going to talk?" He asked, deciding to not keep quiet anymore.

"I only talk I need to."

"But I thought you talked all the time."

"With my friends. Not traitors."

After that small chat, Sasuke thought it was best that he keep quiet and wait for her to finish reading those files Tsunade sent her.

~XOXO~

A few more minutes had passed…

Ino finally put the papers down and stood up.

Sasuke looked up to her with a puzzled look on his face.

"Let's get started." She said, although not really liking the idea of doing what was requested.

Confused as he is, he just nodded and waited for something to happen.
