Really short chapter in Ino's POV up ahead. This chapter isn't one of my favorite chapters but nevertheless, I hope you'll like it!

So without further ado, I give you chapter two~ (Wow such rhyme, much poetic)

"Ohayo, Yamanaka-san. I have a preposition for you."

Three words; Oh My God. I rubbed my eyes just to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. He's still in front of me. I blinked 3 times. Nope, still there. One more…

"What do you intend to do, Yamanaka-san?" he said, right before I can poke him to make sure he's concretely human.

"I'm not dreaming, am I, Uzumaki-san?" I said, sounding like the fangirl I a- wait! No, no, no, no, no, I'm just dazed that someone from his level would visit me. I am NOT a fangirl.

He looked at me, seemingly amused by the astonished voice I have unconsciously used in speaking to him. "Could it be that you're the type of girl who dreams about someone like me?" He asked back, a smirk slowly forming at his lips. I blushed, and not because he asked an embarrassing question. I blushed because I hate it when someone has the nerve to say, or even think about me dreaming of him. I'm not that kind of girl, nuh-uh.

"Too bad you can't afford to hurt me." Said Uzumaki. Well, duh, I was using every bit of my self-control not to do so. But…

"What do you mean, I can't afford to hurt you? Aside from the fact that I am in jail right now, I don't see any other reason why I can't lay a finger on you."

"Ahhh, you see, this preposition of mine can actually be the key to get you out of this..." He looked around, seemingly trying to find the right word to describe the chamber. "Hole." Right choice of words. A hole indeed. A shitty one might I add. "It would be a pity if things take a turn because of a few words of mine and that short temper of yours. Therefore, I do apologize if my words were a bit offensive." Hmph, a bit offensive my ass.

"Just tell me all about this preposition. Staying in this jail has put me into a bad brooding mood." I said, my voice sounding more than a bit tired, an indication of my weariness of the place. As if the accumulating bags under my eyes weren't clear indicators enough.

"Ah, I can see that you are one of those impatient type of girls. I'll get to the point, then. I am the captain of a squad under the Black Curse Undercover Forces Department of the ANBU. I have recently… lost my teammates and are now scouting for new ones. Your dad, Inoichi-sempai, is an acquaintance of mine." I gasped with my eyes widened. So not only was he one of the most famous kid in the block, but he was also a member of the Anbu Black Ops. Wow.

"Based on the data I have been given, you have been thoroughly taught the Yamanaka interrogation method. We have carefully considered your father's concerns and he agreed to making you part of my new team should you accept. We need a very skilled interrogator on my team for a special mission. That much is all I know. Please do make the right decision" He finished, eyes showing the sincerity of his offer.

This was a lot of information I had to take in. I had to measure the pros and cons of this offer. It was a great offer, no doubt. I'll be free from jail, be a member of the Anbu Black Ops, in which my father was a valuable asset. I can make use of and fully develop my clan's interrogation method. It's perfect, but can I cope with the adjustments I was to make?

"Tell me more about the mission." He looked quite disappointed in himself as I made this demand. Could it be that he himself is clueless about the details?

"I was only told to convince you first. I guess it's for safety measures that the details of the mission are not to be revealed before the required team is completed." Standard procedure I guess. If my father approved then there's probably no need to be suspicious of anything.

"Fine then. Anything, just get me out of this damned jail." I finally answered, looking around the room as if really getting impatient to see the way out of this place. He smiled approvingly and nodded. "Hai. If you may please follow me." He gestured to the door, which I swear wasn't there before. "My accomplice will have surely arranged your papers of release by this time."

Wow, it's all over just like that. All I did was agree and all have already been thoroughly prepared. I'm glad I chose to join his team. Walking down the hallway behind him, I can now faintly see the light being released by the afternoon sun. I smiled as a lone tear fell from my eye.

Finally, my days of despair are over.

Finally, after the months that felt like years...

I'm free.

There you have it. If you liked it, feel free to leave a review, favorite, or follow. Ja!
