xxxxxxxxxxxTEST xxxxx Ino growled a little at Kisame's chuckled response to her slapping Itachi, her brow twitching a little and arms wrapping even tighter around her chest. It was Itachi's response that got Ino visibly riled, though. She puffed up a little and shot him another solid glare. Yeah? Well there's more where that came from if you feel like coping any more feels, pervert . She was on edge as she threatened him, confusion mixing in with her clearly upset expression as she glared holes through Itachi. Of course it makes sense. What did you think--.. o-..oh... She pursed her lips as it dawned on her what he may have really been doing. After all, it had been out of character for him to randomly feel her up. She had been found unconscious on the beach after being swallowed by Kisame's water bubble. He had probably been preforming CPR. Still, she was on edge as Itachi approached her, unable to shake the way his lips head felt pressed against her own. It didn't really count as a kiss, but it was still the closest thing to one she had ever had. Her lips still tingled from the contact, making her feel even more confused, and that, of course, only grew when Itachi stepped up to her and summoned a black book. A bingo book..? Ino murmured, relaxing a little as she noticed the odd look of legitimate concern on his face. It was really weird, considering that up until now he had only looked at her coldly. Then again, he HAD bandaged her arm up after the ANBU sliced at her. And he had shielded her from the impact when they fell before and then last night when he let her use his cloak to stay warm why did he care enough to do any of those things for her? It didn't add up! He was supposed to be some cold killer..! That was when he flipped the book and revealed the content to her. Her heart sunk into her gut and her eyes went wide, skin becoming pale as she took in the information. B-but.. the the bingo book is for criminals, r-right..? She stammered quietly, feeling somewhat queasy as she read and the re-read the written information. What was truly horrifying was the fact that, at the bottom, there was Lady Tsunade's signature. So it was true. She really was wanted by Konoha now dead or alive. Her breathing became somewhat shallow and her bottom lip quivered a little, but she quickly shook her head and sucked back any tears that threatened to form in her eyes. None of this made sense to her, but she couldn't start crying. It wouldn't solve anything. Why are you showing me this..? A-and what do you mean you'll 'protect' me? By tying me up again..?! She glared at him, but knew resistance was futile. She faltered, but allowed him to again tie her arms behind her back as his expression flickered back to cold and uncaring just in time for Kisame to turn and start yelling for Itachi to hurry it up. She glared at him as he mentioned the kiss thing, but quickly shifted her focus back to Itachi. If.. If you're going to be lugging me around like this.. I want to find an inn somewhere and take a bath. She puffed, putting the whole 'bingo book' thing as far back in her mind as she could. She had a feeling she could only talk about it when Kisame wasn't within earshot. I have sand all over, and I refused to travel smelling like fish . You at least owe me that much if you wont tell me why I have to stick with you pervs like this.. It was true. Ino had sand in places she wouldn't dream of speaking of. Plus she was tired, still feeling the effects of going so long off of chakra pills alone. That and she was really hoping for a chance alone with Itachi to ask all of the questions that were piling up. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
