Ino's mind was adrift all day long. She pretty much became a zombie who went through the motions without a care in the world. Got up, took a shower (And the hot water barely woke her) and went out into the world without breakfast. Not that having a complete breakfast would have saved her, and her mother had stocked the pantry and fridge with plenty of food to keep them going for weeks. Met her friends, and sloppily went through their little get together without bothering to actually do anything and just drag her feet the entire way.
But at least the last part of the day made it easy for her. Tenten and Sakura carrying her back home with Hinata having run off to grab some proper medication. If her mind wasn't swimming in bad brain juice, she would be thanking them the entire way home and offering to buy them their favorite meal. She wouldn't be able to afford it, but she would still make the offer regardless.
"You lost a lot of weight." Tenten remarked. "And muscle mass."
"Don't spend all day inside, kiddies." Ino tried to joke by sounding like a PSA, but came off as more as the comical drunk that would appear in the PSAs. Tenten and Sakura kept going until they reached the doorstep of the Yamanaka residence.
Ino's mother answered the door. "I figured this would happen." She sighed. "Is she okay?"
"Incredibly tired, but alive." Sakura rapped Ino's head with a few soft punches. "I'll need you to tell you about a few things, Mrs. Yamanaka. It concerns Ino's health and I need you to keep a eye on her for a few days as well as maintaining a strict schedule." Sakura grunted as she let her side of Ino fall onto Tenten. "You got this?"
"Yeah." Tenten breathed out her nose as she helped Ino up the stairs. "Please stay in your bed tonight." She strictly ordered Ino. "You won't manage going down your stairs without hurting yourself."
"Yeah, yeah." Ino sighed.
"Don't do anything rash." Tenten told her as she opened the door into Ino's room. The place looked messy, the bed had pretty much fallen apart. All the sheets and the cover were strewn all over the place with the sheets intertwined with themselves and spent clothes. Tenten let out a small groan before she laid Ino into a chair and started to redress the bed. "And maybe clean your room? If you get the energy? Could be a start for…" Tenten stumbled on her words for a second as she dug into the mess to untangle the bed coverings. "…well, it could be a start."
"Mumph." Ino retorted.
Tenten shook her head as she fixed the bed and arranged it so she tuck Ino in once Hinata delivered the medicine. And speak of the devil, in walked the Hyuga successor with a pharmacy bag. "Here." She reached in and retrieved the classic orange pillbottle. "Take this pill nightly before you go to bed. It'll ease you into a gentle slumber, and it says it will prevent you from having dreams…I'm not too sure about that."
"Glass of water." Ino hoarsely asked. Tenten nodded and went into the bathroom to go and get that glass of water. Hinata turned on a little chakra into her palms and pressed them onto Ino's forehead. "Relax." She whispered as she applied some calming energy into Ino to ease her swollen muscles. "Just calm down." Ino breathed out, and her shoulders lowered. "There."
Tenten came in and delivered the glass. Hinata cracked open the bottle, took out a single pill and dropped it into the water. She then cradled Ino's head and sent the pill in. Ino had enough energy to swallow the pill herself. "Good." Hinata breathed out as Ino's body started to go limp. Tenten got up and helped moved Ino into under the covers.
"Good night." Tenten whispered, patting Ino on her forehead. Ino muttered something before gently drifting off into sleep. Tenten and Hinata quietly sneaked out of the room and headed downstairs.
Ino didn't feel anything. Her entire body felt numb, and she liked it. She would be swimming in a black inky ocean the entire night, with no trips to any nightmarish lands. A good thing.
