Ino stared out of the bedroom window as her mind wandered. It was her birthday and she was staying in a nice hotel with her friends and family to celebrate so why wasn't she happy? A knock was heard on the door and the voice of her mother was heard. "Ino? Why don't you put on your bathing suit and come down to the pool with us?" "No, I'm not in the mood for swimming.", was her reply. Her mother sighed and gave up every year Ino was like this.

The problem was that Ino was still thinking about what happened years ago on that same day. It was the day her beloved brother, her best friend in the whole wide world disappeared.

Flashback

Ino and her father were going to visit her other mother and her brother. Years ago before she was born Ino's father fell in love with medic, but she was from an enemy village so her father had to return to Kanoha. He soon found out that the medic gave birth to a son and said that she could take care of him herself. Ino's dad moved on and got married to Ino's mom. Ino and her dad always went to visit every year, but this time the couldn't take her mother because she was on a mission. "Are we there yet?" Ino asked impatiently.

"No."

"Are we there now?"

"No"

"Now?"

"No."

"Now?"

"No."

"Now?"

"No."

"NOW?"

"NO!!!!!"

Ino's dad now annoyed look straight ahead trying not to curse out the 6-year-old. Ino was getting more impatient by the second, all she wanted was to see her brother.

"Are we there NOW?!?!"

"YES!!!"

"OH YEAH!!!" Ino jumped for joy as a busy village came to view. "Hurry up!", Ino yelled. "We're almost there!" "I'm coming.." was her father's response. All he wanted to do was rest, but no he had to keep up with the happy Ino.

"LOOK, LOOK!! WE'RE HERE!! WE'RE HERE!!"

"Great." The two came up to a house and saw a boy in his teens sitting on the porch. His hair was tied in a ponytail and a huge bang hang over his left eye. He looked depressed and didn't see the two people walking up to the house.

"Deidara! Deidara!", Ino yelled running up to the boy and hugging him. "Ino!? You're chocking me, yeah. Ino loosened her grip but didn't let go, she was just so happy to see him. "Where's Ami-san?" Inoichi asked. Then, the smile on Deidara's face disappeared.

"I need to talk to you.", he said prying loose from Ino's hug. "You Stay here" He said to Ino. A few minutes passed before the two males came out of the house. " What's going on?" Ino asked. Deidara sighed and lowered his head. Something was going on that he didn't want to tell her.

"Ami is dead.", Her father said answering her question. "Oh.." Ino was now devastated. Ami was like a second mother to her. Whenever they came to visit she treated Ino like she was her daughter. She made apple pie and gave Ino presents. Now Ino understood why Deidara was so sad.

Deidara went into the house and slammed the door behind him. A few days passed and Deidara got worse. He locked himself in his room and only came out to eat. Ino was worried and wanted her brother back. And then the day came when he left her.

It was Ino's birthday and when she woke up that morning she was sure that she would be able to cheer him up because she would have a cake and a big party. When she came out of her room Ino went to Deidara's room and opened the door, it surprisingly wasn't locked. But he wasn't there. Ino went to the kitchen and saw her father sitting at the table.

"Where's Deidara?"

"He's gone."
