"Choji? What are you doing here? Did you see my princess?" the man asked looking down.
"Mr. Yamanaka," he started with another nervous gulp, "... There's something you need to know."
Thanks To: ex0, deathravenrasengan, 1upHero, machi-tan, Da Baddest, Paul Namikaze, Minato Mishima, and Safety22.
Inoichi Yamanaka is a man of little patient, many words, and a jumble of emotions. He never likes too much unnecessary changes or surprises he isn't aware of. He was sure, positive that something was wrong when the boy came to his door. He couldn't help the curiosity reaching his thoughts along with his first words.
"What would you like to talk about?"
He waited for the boy to speak as he nervously sat before him.
Choji took in a deep breath before placing his worries aside and his thoughts away as he looked Inoichi Yamanaka in the eye feeling his determination rise.
"I think something bad, no, terrible happened to Ino, sir," he stated as he noticed the shock upon the eyes of the older male. Choji waited for a few minutes receiving a nod from the owner of the home, so he continued with a bit more confidence.
"I think the ones responsible could be..."

Hinata knocked on the door of Shino's after school. She remembered Tenten telling her that there was a meeting with the rest of their friends.
I hope we found something out... She told herself as hope flickered in her eyes.
--
Shino opened the door to find Hinata waiting to be let in. He stepped to the side letting the pale eyed female inside as he looked out for their last remaining member only to see nothingness.
--
Kin didn't want to admit it, but she was terrified. She has no idea what happened and everything wasn't fitting.
"Damn it!" she called out frustrated as she leaned against the arm chair, "where the hell is he?!"
"He said he's coming," Shino announced as he continue to stare at the sheet. Sai and
Tenten already added to the fact that Naruto and Kiba was no where at school and added the fact that they could've done something to Ino.
"That's not true," Hinata had spoke up, "Naruto loves Ino. He wouldn't do anything to her."
"Are you sure Hinata?" Shikamaru asked.
She nodded her head as everyone stared.
"He may want to keep her to himself," Sai announced causing everyone to start nodding their head.
--
"What's keeping him?" Tenten asked noticing their missing peer.
"He'll be here," Kin said with anger, "… because if he doesn't, I'll..." but before she could finish, the doorbell rang.
--
Temari waited underneath the tree where she used to wait with him. She could feel the stare and eyes looking at her, watching her. She could hear the disgust, pity, and sadness in the voices around her. She could hear the accusation of the blonde beauty not showing up today because of her. She closed her soft eyes and breathed feeling the sensation of the rain hitting her skin, soaking her throughly. She couldn't help the small smile showing on her face as she remembered the day Shikamaru asked her to be his girlfriend. That was the day she felt truely special, happy, and just plain good.
"Temari," a voice called out.
She turned to see who called her name only to find that the speaker has pink hair.
"Sakura."
--
Ino couldn't breathe as she felt the wind kicked out of her. She tried her best to stand, but another kick to her stomach made her fall flat onto the cold floor. Before she had any time to react, she felt the immense pain at her side toward her ribs and her body flying against the wall. As it bounced and rolled a few inches from the wall, the never-ending pain ached her whole being and unconsciousness was starting to cloud her mind.
--
Shin was beyond angry when he could hear her screams echoing in his ears. He banged on the door as loud as he could. He waited for a few seconds before he ran into the hard oak door. He did it again and again trying his hardest to break down the door.
That bitch is going to pay! That was his last thought along with his one last hit.
--
Ino backed up against the wall hoping Karin couldn't find her. Her head throbbed, body hurts, and her ribs felt as if it was broken. She tried to breathe but the sharp pain kept crawling up her bones shaking them. She heard the loud bang of the door and her eyes automatically went toward the noise, but she couldn't see anything in the dark. Another bang resounded and the footsteps that was inching so close to her, halted.
Another bang and loud footsteps echoed into the room.
--
"You fuckin bitch!" he screamed out as he switched on the lights. Everything looked the same except a bloody looking blonde with large blue eyes staring at him with shock and fear. He forced himself to look away from her and searched for the redhead.
--
Oh shit! She thought as she could feel the anger evaporating off him.
She knew she was a little late in her plan to demolish the blonde since the sleep potion wore off of him.
"Karin!" she heard him spit out as he approached her.
"What!" she called out angrily as she held the knife in her hands a bit tighter.
"What the fuck are you doing!" he screamed at her as he grabbed her arms harshly.
"What does it look like?" she retorted sarcastically as he looked around.
He saw someone, a male, lying on the floor bloodied as if dead...?
"You killed?" he breathed eyes wide before his eyes silted into anger, "You will not kill her!"
"And who, Shin," Karin smirked after a short laugh, "... is going to stop me?"
Shin smacked her with his fist. This girl was going too far and she needed to stop. This whole plan was her doing and he thought she brought the female for him as some sort of gift. Now he knows what was the real reason.
"You need to stop," he gritted out as he backed away from the offender.
--
Karin was shock, pissed, and hurt when she felt the burn on her cheek. Here she was doing something for him, a favor, but he didn't understand, he never will.
--
Ino probably looked like a statue with eyes wide, mouth low, and body still. The shock was evident in her blue eyes and she knew he could tell from the look he was giving her. She wanted to smile for him, for saving her life, for showing up on time. She wanted to say thank you, thank you thank you for so many times that she couldn't talk anymore. She wanted to stand and hug him so tight that he couldn't intake air into his lungs. She couldn't, not that she didn't want to, the problem was that before she could even breath, she saw the blood trail from the corner of his thin lips.
--
Shin felt the pain in his back near his spine. He felt like his whole life just flashed before his eyes like pictures. He noticed his blonde beauty near tears as her big blue eyes grew even bigger. He could hear the redhead's deep breathing behind his ears.
The question of 'what happened' resounded in his head over and over as his mind tried to focus on what occurred from then and now.
"Karin," he breathed out as his mind dimmed slowly.
--
Karin pulled the knife out off his back and watched him fall. A part of her wanted to cry and the other part thought it to be ironic. She remembered the first time they met: a cold night. He knew about her craving for magic and spells, but he didn't care. He was her true love. But the day he announced his love for the blonde, her whole world fell along with her sanity. She was beautiful and she was perfect, while she herself was just average. She cried and cried for so many hours that tears wouldn't escape her orbs anymore. Then it hit her, the plan to rid this world of that stupid blonde. But the plan never included him dying.
'What a shame', her inner self tsked, 'and you loved him...'
"I can't..." She started to say as she looked up to see the one who caused her heart break, "it's all your fault!"
Karin was so angry she didn't realize that she was practically stomping.
Naruto was inside his house damning himself for missing out on school. He was sad and alone in the house with Kiba gone. He was mad at himself because he didn't even get to see his favorite blonde at what seems like forever.
"I should go for a walk..." he announced sadly as he stood up from the couch, "... I'm gonna need an umbrella..." he announced realizing the fast beating of water against the adobe.
--
"What makes you think it would be her friends?" Inoichi asked feeling his world a lot darker now. His princess was missing and he has no idea where she was.
"Well..." Choji started off, "… when I asked where she was, they avoided my questions the entire night. I believe that is suspicious sir."
"I see your point," the older male announced as he stood, "… let's go see what they think about our accusation."
--
"Finally!" Kin announced angrily as she crossed her arms.
"Well hello to you too," Kabuto spoke as he held some papers.
"What took you so long?" Shikamaru asked.
"We were all worried," Hinata admitted waiting for the silver haired male to sit.
"Well I wanted to investigate something," he said as he looked at his papers, "… that blood stain is neither Roi's nor Ino's..." he stated while everyone just stared at him shocked.
"Then who's?" Shikamaru asked cautiously.
"It's..." before the name was said, a loud knock echoed the room.
--
"I just miss him," Temari admitted with a sad smile as she looked over to the pinkette.
"It'll be okay Temari," Sakura said comfortingly, "… he'll come back to you."
"Hm..." she breathed with a smile, "… you and Sasuke, an item?"
"Huh!" Sakura exclaimed with a deep red around her cheeks, "No... No... Just friends..."
"Sure..." Temari said before laughing when she noticed the red face of her friend.
--
Karin felt the hard floor and looked around wondering why she was on the floor. The incredibly hard grip around one ankle caused pain to shoot up her leg.
"Let go of me you bastard!" Karin screeched as she tried kicking herself free.
--
Ino was scared and her mind froze along with her body. She tried to breath, but nothing came. Her blue eyes met his sharp ones. She could tell from his eyes that they were telling her to run and with whatever power she had left, she took off without looking back.
--
Karin saw Ino up and running as fast as one could with chains around the ankles. She yelled out for her to stop, but the blonde never looked back.
"Damn it!"
--
"Mr. Yamanaka," Shino bowed slightly, "… what brings you here?"
"Where's my daughter," he demanded with his arms crossed and Shikamaru knew there will be hell to pay if they don't speak.
"We do not know," Tenten spoke up sadly, "… were trying to figure that out."
"Choji," Inoichi called from behind, "… why do you suppose they were hiding it from you?"
Choji stepped forward and everyone's eyes grew.
"Choji..." Hinata whispered sadly.
"We didn't want him to think we couldn't protect her..." Kin admitted, "… after all... didn't want to break our promise."
"I can understand, but if I knew sooner, we may have found her," Choji admitted with Inoich nodding and adding, "So did you report it in?"
"They didn't care," Shikamaru said angrily.
"What!" Choji and Inoichi called out angrily.
"Do we even have suspects?" Inoichi changed the subject, but his anger didn't evaporate.
"Karin," Kabuto announced aloud as everyone stared at him.
"Karin?" Kin asked for clarification.
"It was her blood," Kabuto nodded, "I found her address on my father's computer."
"Are you sure it is right?" Tenten asked.
"Yes, he works for the government afterall," Kabuto smirked, "It says she lives with a man named Shin Yakazu."
"Well, let's go find her," Sai said as everyone headed out the door.
--
Ino ran through doors after doors just to find a way out of the warehouse compound. It took all the strength in her to keep going. When ran through a door that took her outside, she breathed in the cool air as the rain continued to pour. She forced herself to continue running until she couldn't run anymore.
--
The gang reached the door of Karin and Shin's house.
"This looks like a warehouse..." Tenten said a bit scared.
"Let's continue," Inoichi announced as he bang open the door to find a hallway leading to more doors.
"Let's split," Shikamaru spoke up but before he could continue his formations, a voice spook through.
"Took you long enough," the female voiced spoke from the other side of the closed door.
"Karin," Kabuto spoke cautiously, "… we know what you did. Give Ino back to us."
"Too bad," Karin spoke loud and clear as she opened the door, "she's gone."
Their eyes grew wide realizing the blood dripping from her arms, legs, stomach and everywhere else.
"What..." but before Choji could finish, the body of Karin's fell to the floor hard with a loud 'thud.'
--
Naruto was heading back from his lonely walk to his apartment when he noticed something out of the ordinary. He turned to the side but saw no one. He just shook his head slightly and continued walking. As he turned the corner, he felt the wind knock off him. He was about to yell at whoever it was, but the wet blonde hair stopped him.
"Ino?"
--
Ino cried and cried as she ran under the rain staring at blurs. She didn't know who it was. The only thing she knows is to run and run to Shino's place knowing that it was the closes place.
"Who are you?" she whispered as she backed up.
"It's okay Ino-Chan, it's me, Naruto," Naruto tried to reach out to her.
"Nar... Naruto?" she asked softly as she just stared at whoever it was.
"Yes it's me..." Naruto was confused at what Ino looked like, but her arms wrapped itself around him and his thoughts faded.
--
"Yes officer," Shikamaru bowed and headed out.
They still don't know where Ino is, but at least they know she escaped which means she is still alive. As he headed to his place, the sandy blonde's house faced him as if to tell him to come. He sighed out and headed up her street. It was time he told her before time is too late.
--
Hinata arrived home relieved and exhausted. A knock on her door was heard and she complied.
"Neji," Hinata said as she sat up on her bed.
"Did you find her?" he asked unsure of his loyalty to his blonde friend.
"No..." Hinata admitted looking down but looked up quickly with a small smile, "… she escaped."
--
Ino sat on the couch staring at the television. It wasn't on, but she felt like she was watching a horror show and she was in it.
"Does those clothes fit?" Naruto asked placing a cup of hot tea for her on the coffee table. She really didn't want to ask why she had cuffs around her ankles and hands, but he knew she was terrified; he had to cut them out, and it took hours to do so.
He sat down beside Ino who stared at the cup for a few minutes before reaching shakingly to it.
Naruto watched and wondered what happened to the female he had fallen in love with.
She looks so broken... He thought as she slowly took a sip of tea.
"Naruto," she spoke softly reaching up to touch his cheeks, "… did I..." she pulled her hand back and looked down.
"You mean the scars..." he said as his fingers automatically rub the scars, ".. it's okay Ino-chan," he said softly reaching for her hands only to have her pull it away, "I'm fine, see? Please don't avoid me... " he whispered the last part sadly.
"I... Its..." Ino started off shaky as she looked toward her counterpart, "I'm sorry."
"I love you," Naruto replied back with a soft smile causing Ino to blush.
"I think I should call my dad..." Ino announced placing her tea on the table.
"Whatever happened to you, I'm glad you're okay," Naruto said honestly and Ino couldn't help but smile.
--
Inoichi was still worried and anxious wondering where his beloved princess was. He couldn't fight to urge to pick up the telephone every second though no one called. He kept shifting on his seat looking up at the clock every second.
"My princess..." Inoichi spoke out sadly as he turned to look at a picture of her from third grade.
*Ring* *Ring*
Inoichi jumped at the noise and reached for the telephone on its first ring.
"Hello!" he said rather loudly waiting for the other person to speak.
"Daddy?"
"Ino? My princess?" he asked into the receiver to hear giggles. His heart relaxed and it felt like a huge boulder just left his shoulders.
"Where are you?"
--
"A smile is easy to produce when around others and harder when alone…
A heart is easily given away and easier to break…
Trust is easily given and easier to be mistreated…
A lie is easy to create but hard to stop…
Love is easy to give away, but harder to be replaced," the blue eyed female said as she read the small book aloud. She stopped and looked to her side to see spiky blonde hair before blue eyes that holds the ocean.
"Why'd you stop?" he asked confused staring at her. His mouth, a small pout, and his cheeks graced with scars. She touched his face with her soft hand and smiled at him. He smiled in return and leaned in for a kiss that she gave in.
"Do you think this is true?" she asked softly as she leaned onto his shoulder. She could hear the soft rumble of his chuckle before he spoke.
"Yeah, I do…" he said with a smile as she did the same as well. He bent his head down and placed a soft kiss on her forehead before brushing off strands of her blond golden hair.
"No one can replace my love for you…" he said softly leaning in for a passionate kiss, "… no one."
"That's good to know," Ino breathed out with as smile as she stared into his deep blue eyes.
"Im sorry…" she admitted looking away, "… for hurting you… im the ones who caused those scars on your cheeks…"
"How many times do I have to say, that it is okay Ino-chan?" Naruto said with a smile as he leaned against her, "… at least I'll have something to remind me of you when you…" Naruto's smile turned into a frown knowing what was going to happen, "… leave…"
"Naruto…" Ino said sadly as she reached for his face, "… I will always write to you okay?"
"You can't call me?" he asked nuzzling into her collarbone.
"No phones allowed…" Ino sighed rubbing her cheek against his head. She let out a sigh before closing her eyes, waiting for the time to freeze.
--
Choji couldn't help the smile as he looked at the shock blonde female. She was still as beautiful as ever and she was still so emotional.
"Hey," he said casually with a small chuckle.
"That's all you have to say?" Ino laughed along as she embraced him into a long hug.
"I miss you," she said as she backed out of the hug.
"I miss you too," he admitted chuckling to himself.
"So you knew?" she asked as she sat beside her father.
"Yeah... glad you're okay," he said as he sat down beside her.
"Ya..." Ino said with a smile and looked toward her father, "me too..."
--
"Ino!" everyone screamed at once before Tenten and Hinata glomped her.
"It... It hurts..." Ino tried breathing out.
"Sorry!" Hinata apologized while Tenten just admits how much she missed her.
"I missed you all too," Ino said with a bright smile before her smile thinned into a small frown.
"What's wrong Yamanaka?" Kabuto asked before he quickly adds, "Ino."
"I'm moving," she announced to see shocked eyes and hurt along with anger.
"WHY!"
--
As her father drives off, she couldn't fight the tears falling down her orbs, but she knew it was the best. She already spoke her heart to everyone close to her and she felt relieved and happy all at once. She turned to her father to see concerned etched on his face. Ino smiled at him reassuringly before looking through the window before her.
I'll miss them, she told herself as she took a deep breathe before closing her watery blue eyes, hiding them from the world's grace.
Okay so that is all! I know I know, not really a naruino forever fic but I will be writing a sequel or a continuation to this. But naruino: til death do us part is officially over. Its kinda sad, but it was bound to occur. Remember I will and I mean I WiLL be writing another one.
So since Ino is moving, I believe the continuation would be letters written to each other. It will show more romance and passion... I think lol. But if you are disappointed, I must apologized. Did you think I ended it too fast? I felt like I did, but to be totally honest, I don't know...
Thank you all for being such wonderful reviewers and lovely readers.
To those who constantly reviews, I love you all so much words just will not do.
So thank you to everyone and I'd like to hear from you all next time.
Love,
Kiwi4me~
Ps: I will be writing a genmaino soon as well as another naruino, unrelated :].
