Chapter 10: Complications

"I really don't see the problem..." Ino glanced at Shikamaru. "With out her, the bar would have faced more damage then it did. Besides... I thought you enjoyed it..." she winked at him

"Oh I enjoyed you..." he nodded. He really wasn't one for fighting with Ino. He knew that she was his. "But that isn't the problem... her past is."

"Her past..." Ino blinked. "What exactly do you know about her past!" this peaked her interest.

"Only what I've learned." he shrugged, seeing the jealousy in her face. He loved it when she showed her emotions to him. Now she had a taste of how he felt every time she worked.

"And what exactly is that...?" Ino questioned. Why would he need to learn about her past, and who was he learning it from?

He smirked, pulling her into a kiss. "I love it when your jealous..." falling with her on the bed he laughed when she hit his chest. "Come on... you have to admit it's not your first..." she sat up, straddling him, Shikamaru holding her waist.

Ino was not happy at all. Lying on his chest, she placed her head in the crook of his neck. "I'll do as you ask if you tell me what this past is all about... and why you looked it up."

Again he chuckled. "It was for Hatake, and that part is confidential." trying to get up, Ino wouldn't move. "Ino..."

"Just lay with me, like this for a while..." she shut her eyes. With this job, they didn't get a lot of time to spend with each other. He worked all day while she worked most of the night.

"I have a meeting with the Hokage in ten minuets..." he sighed. He would hear it in the end by Tsunade. Man, women were so troublesome

"Eleven a.m..." Sakura looked at her watch. This was the normal brunch time and everyone had made it but Temera. "We'll give her a few minuets..."

"She didn't drop by your place Ten-Ten?" Ino asked. It was strange for her not to be here. Ten-ten shook her head. "Really... but you guys live so close..."

Ten-ten shrugged. "Perhaps she had something she had to do... I knocked on her apartment door, but didn't get an answer..."

"No answer..." Sakura shook her head. That was strange; then again noone had herd from her since that night. "Have either of you spoken with her since last Friday..?" they shook their heads no.

"I think its time to interrogate my dear little Nara..." Ino nodded with a smile. "He may have some answers for us.."

"ACHOO!" Shiamaru sneezed. "Excuse me..." Shaking his head, he continued on with the information gathered from both Sasuke and old news papers. "So as you can conclude, with the new found intelligence from our spy, it is imperative that we find the girl and place her under Konoha's protection before it is too late."

"And where is this spy..." one of the elder chefs glanced around. "How do we know you can trust this information?" Who was this spy.

"He has currently returned to his post to find more information." Tsunade, the Hokage nodded. "He checked with me before his departure."

"And how do we know this spy can be trusted...?" another spoke. "When it comes to that monster Orochimaru... it is better to be weary, would you not agree Lady Hokage?"

"Agreed to be weary of Orochimaru, yes; but I assure you I trust this spy and his information without a doubt." Tsunade hated being interrogated by theses old fools.

"Very well then, the council acknowledges this threat." the first elder nodded. "Hatake Kakashi will be charged with the girl's protection."

Nodding, he kept his head in his orange book. This would be an interesting situation; especially since she now held a grudge against him.

"Where is the girl now...?" the second asked. Watching the man reading an orange book.

"Her whereabouts are unknown at the moment..." Shikamaru swallowed hard. Everyone looking at him. "She's been missing since last Friday night..." he had told Kakashi that his approach had been all wrong. But what did he know about women?

"And who was the one responsible for letting the girl go?" Both elders were not impressed. It may already be too late and the girl apprehended by the snake sennin.

Kakashi stood up before Naruto could say a word. "That would be me." he had been the one to officially leave. They looked at him surprised. "I thought it best to use the girl as bate; easier to ketch Orochimaru in the act."

Looking at each other, the elders agreed. "We are also charging you, since it was your decision that has brought us where we are now, with finding her current location."
