Thread: [Sugo & Razz]

td xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx tdtd Finding someone who didn't necessarily want to be found was easier said than done. Especially when you had literally no idea where to even begin searching. Ino had no leads, hints, or clues as to where Sasuke could be, she just knew she wasn't going back to the village unless it was with him. Maybe it was selfish of her, but honestly, Sasuke couldn't be happy out there alone with the freak Orocimaru . Maybe if she brought Sasuke back, she could help him be happy and show him that even if his biological family was gone, he still had plenty of people back home who loved him and saw him as family. Especially that knucklehead Naruto. Ino knew that she could, and likely would, get into huge trouble for venturing out on her own like this. In fact, what she was doing was more dangerous than anything, as she likely was also considered a rogue ninja by now having been gone over a month. She didn't tell anyone she was leaving, as they would have stopped her. If she was found by the ANBU, she would be in for a world of serious trouble. If they didn't end up killing her on the spot, she'd be brought back and seen as a traitor. However, if she came back with Sasuke, the punishment might be lighter. That was why Ino knew she couldn't go home. Not without Sasuke. Most people would be confused about why she was willing to risk so much, and the truth of the matter was that Ino herself wasn't completely sure. She new Sasuke would never love her. He never even acknowledged her existence, but really, Ino didn't blame him for that much. She was more mature now then she was before, and looking back at how she treated Sasuke made her cringe inwardly. She had never truly loved him, either she never once wanted to actually get to know him on a genuine level. As a kid, she had been more interested in his appearance and cool attitude, but she never really thought much of him beyond that. She had been shallow and pathetic and maybe this was her way of trying to make amends? However being alone out in the wilderness for a whole month wasn't something Ino was accustomed to. Sure, she knew how to find and catch food, and had brought with her a small pack of survival supplies, but just being alone was, well, depressing. It gave her far too much time to think about home. Choji and Shikamaru were likely really, really upset with her, and it would take a while to earn back their faith. Same went for her dad. Sighing at the thought, Ino hopped down from the tree she had been using to get an aerial view from and landed lightly in a small puddle as rain poured down from above. She was wearing a tan hooded cloak over her usual attire, which kept her head and upper body dry, but the air was still plenty cold. It stung at the tips of her fingers as well as her nose and ears, but there was still daylight, so she had to keep going. I can't think of stuff like that right now, She reminded herself, shaking her head a little as if the physical movement would rid her of such thoughts before pressing on, trudging through the mud and along the worn out little path through the woods. Lightening rolled across the sky overhead, momentarily lighting everything up in a pale glow, followed soon after by the distant rumble of thunder. It was going to be a long day... td
