High Above That

Ino's eyes widened and before she could scream the figure disappeared from the window and reappeared behind her and put a hand over her mouth. The next thing she knew she was waking up in a dark room SASORI right behind her. "Who are you? And what do you want?"

"I want to tell you that I've been watching you and noticed how close you are to that boy I knew and decided to take you away from him"

"Why? He needs me I need to get back home!"

"Because I need you, I love you and I want you to myself, that pathetic moron doesn't deserve you I do!"

"How long have you been watching me?"

"Ever since Itachi joined the Akastsuki that's how long! I deserve you I know everything about you!"

"No you don't I bet you don't know my birthday!"

Sasori told Ino her birthday and a bunch of other things and smiled at Ino as her jaw dropped. "See I know everything!"

"How do you know if I even like you back? I barely know you!"

"That's why I took you so you can get to know me and fall for me instead!"

"Well kidnapping me is getting you nowhere! Why would it, now let me go!"

Sasori sighed exasperated he didn't know why he liked this girl now but he still did he couldn't help it. She was stubborn, persistent and just plain annoying.

In Konoha…

Ino's parents and Tsunade are in the office with Naruto sitting on the floor. Ino's mother was crying and her father was talking with Tsunade "So how are we going to find her?"

"We'll do what everyone does, put up signs go on T.V and try to contact Ino to see if her cell phone is working, we'll also ask people if they saw her.

Shikamaru, Choji and Temari walked in wondering what was going on why were everyone sad and worried and why did they have to be here?

Tsunade explained to them what was going on and put them in charge of making posters and asking people if they saw her. They were also in charge of Naruto because Ino's parents will be too busy.

A Week Later…

Naruto was sitting in the living room with Shikamaru and Choji and everything seemed just fine until there was a knock at the door. Shikamaru went to get it to find out it was Tsunade and they decided to stop searching for Ino they got everyone mad but they had no say in it. Shikamaru went into the living room to spread the news. Choji looked shocked how could this happen.

With Ino…

Sasori was watching the news when he looked at Ino who was chained to the wall "Guess your friends and family gave up on you, what a shame I guess I'll just use you for something else"

Ino glared at him and started to think 'okay I'm getting out tonight and I don't care what they think'

That Night…

Ino took out a knife and smiled she was going to cut her way out of the ropes the stupid 'puppet master' put her in when she got free she smiled and went over to the window. As she ran away from the place she was trapped in for the last week she memorized her surroundings so she can get back when she got police.

As she got to her house she noticed Choji's car in the driveway. She smiled and fell finally realizing she had many wounds and she couldn't believe she didn't notice before. The whole week she has been beaten and abused but she never noticed how sick and wounded she was. She noticed how numb she was though and it scared her because she barely felt anything.

She got up to the door and got a funny idea… she rung the door bell which almost gave Choji a heart attack. He went over to the door, Naruto following him he opened the door and both of their jaws dropped when they saw Ino.

At The Hospital…

Tsunade was healing Ino's wounds and asking all sorts of questions. She wanted to know how this could have happened Ino came back herself but she was really beat up. She walked out to Choji and Naruto and told them she'll need to stay the night just in case but they were allowed to go see her.

As Naruto walked in and saw the way Ino was he ran over to her and gave her a hug he missed her and since she left he became less afraid of people for her "Ino I missed you!"

"I missed you too Naruto! Was Choji nice to you while I was away?"

"Yes and Shikamaru and Temari watched me too!"

"Really?"

"Yeah and now I'm not as scared!"

"Really?"

"Yeah and Ino I wanted to talk to you alone."

"Really? Okay Choji can you leave for a sec please?"

"Sure!"

As Choji left he smirked he knew what Naruto was about to do and he couldn't wait to see what will happen. He knew Ino liked Naruto too but he wanted to see her reaction… oh well he'll just have to deal with not seeing it.

Naruto looked at Ino as soon as Choji was gone and smiled. "Ino would you like to go out with me sometime?"

Ino smiled "Okay Naruto! What did you have in mind?"

"I thought we could maybe go to dinner take a walk in the park and then see a movie in the Theatre"

"Wait how do you know about the Theatre? Have you ever been there before?"

"Yeah Choji brought me there last night it was really cool and I wanted to take you there!"

"Okay we'll have our date tomorrow when I get out of the hospital okay?"

"Okay!"

They hugged and that's when Tsunade came back in to give her some medicine.

The Next Day…

Ino got to leave the hospital 5:30 that evening and met Naruto outside the building all by himself. "Hey why are you all alone?"

"Because I want it to be just you and me and Choji and Shikamaru trust me to come here alone because I'm getting braver." As he said this he smiled proudly and started to giggle.

"Oh really I guess we can bring you to the dentist tomorrow then huh?"

"What's the dentist?"

"You'll see"

"Okay but I bet I can do it I'm really brave and strong I'm sure I can handle the dentist, whatever it is"

"The doctor too?"

"Of course… One question though is the doctor what you went to in that building?"
