Hello all! I was reading other fanfic's and I think that I will change the pov!

I don't own any of the characters, only the ones I make up! This story has yaoi and yuri in it too. So if you don't like

that, than don't read it. Its does has mostly just ino and shikamaru.

I also know that the chapters are short, I will try to make them longer

Chapter 3: wired days

40 minutes later

Usually doing side work, it would had only taken about maybe five minutes maybe ten at the most. Today the side work was

longer. A new shipment just came in today and it needed to be put up for display.

Ino had to take them out of the boxes and set them up in the glass case next to the roses. After throwing the boxes away, she

went to clean up her area.

Ino had finished her work, closed the door of the shop and locked it.

Outside it was getting dark and windy. Ino didn't mind the air, it was very claming. After a long boring day, she need the nice

sweet air.

Walking home Ino stopped at the store to pick up something to eat. She went up and down the rows of food. Not many people

were there, after all most people were at home eating dinner. Which she believed that her mom forgot to cook before she went

on her mission.

Even if she did prepared food for her to eat. She didn't fell like eating too much. Tonight she will just have a snack, than she

will go take a shower and than turn in for the night.

picking out what she was going to eat she went to the cashier to pay for the items.

Walking out of the store and passing by the flower shop on her way home, she saw a tall dark man leaning against the flower

shop wall.

The man had long dark blue hair and dark green eyes. What he had on is a dark blue sweater, which started at the neck and

ended at his pants line.

On his pants he wore the leaf village ninja headband. The pants were bagging kaki pants.

He wore the ninja shoes and even had a long sword strapped to his back.

He looked like one of those men that lived in the village hidden in the snow, because the clothes looked very well made.

Walking toward him, the man looked up and he stepped away form the wall and said. " miss, are you the girl that runs the

flower shop?

ummm...yes sir, you must be Mr. Tendo! Ino smiled and she walked up to him to shake his hand. Standing there with her

hand outstretched waiting for him to take it.

When he didn't Ino put her hand back.

He didn't say anything for the longest time, that Ino started to get a little uncomfortable. Ino was going to ask if he was ready

to pick up his large order. But before she could ask him the question, Ino notice that his eyes seemed a little troubled and he

looked like he was trying to make up his mind about something.

This seemed to her un settling, but before she could think on it he smiled. "yes, miss Ino, I'm here to pick up the order." he said.

"great! I'll be back with it in just a moment, you may come inside and wait?" Ino turned and unlocked the door. Both of them

heading inside.

Tendo stopped at the fount desk while Ino headed to the back. Going to the back to get his order, Ino picked up

the first round of flowers.

His order was two dozen roses and two dozen sunflowers. Ino took two trips to bring the flowers up to the fount desk. The

man leaned to thank her for the beautiful flowers. He smiled and thanked her.

Ino smiled backed and ringed in his order. Grabbing his order with both hands, he said " I'll be back Ino! And I wish your mom

luck on her mission!"

with that he turned and walked out.

Ino stared after the man, thinking about what he said made her a little uncomfortable and uneasy! How could that guy known

about her moms mission? Her mom did say that it was a secret mission and that only the ones involved knew about it and of

course the hokage! Could he also be on the mission?

Ino called out " I wish you luck on the mission as well!"

The man looked back and he grinned " thank you, I will do my best on the mission that I was given! Later Miss Ino." not

another word was said and he left.

Signing Ino again for the third time that day, walked out of the flower shop. Looking at the sky, Ino saw dark clouds and the

smell of rain in the air. Ino grumbled " great it's going to rain! I should have brought an umbrella." with that said Ino rushed

home. Running as fast as she could, the rain begin to fall. the wind blow hard, the trees swayed in the wind, inside the house's

the shutters banged against the windows.

No one was outside, the only one outside in the rain was her! The wind bowed forcefully around her and at that moment she

wished that she had forgot about Mr. Tendo and the flowers!

Runny as fast as she could, she finally reached the house.

Standing at the fount door of the house, dripping wet and breathing heavily. She unlocked the door and walked inside.

She was home but it didn't fell like it. No one was there and all the lights were off.

The house felt a little dark and lonely. Ino turned and looked out the door. Wind and rain blow around outside, sighing Ino

muttered "shikamaru." closing her eyes, she turned and closed the door.

Walking to her room, she flip the lights on and than she let out a scream.

Setting on her bad was a dark figure. "hello Ino!" said the clearly male voice. "eek!" Ino screamed!

Well I'm done with this Chapter!! Thanks for reading!
