Ino slowly open her eyes her finger twitching, wanting to move. In her sight is a beautiful orangey-red color indicating she probably just woke up during evening.

Ino slowly pushes herself to sit up having to use her arm to support herself and the other used to hold her head, a familiar dizziness and lightheadedness can be felt. Once she felt the dizziness go away Ino look around her surrounding noticing she's in a hospital bed.

Oh..

Ino sighs pressing her back on the pillow as she remains to sit up. She looked towards the window, it finally felt peaceful again though the entire konoha is probably going through panic or continues work still. Apparently the sand village or Sunagakure had work together with Orochimaru, who ever that is, to try and cause chaos in konoha. Well whoever that is definitely succeeded even if it was put into stop by the jounins.

'Ugh.. Dad will definitely ground me at home for a week!' Ino thought as she hold her head again.

"Oh.. You're awake."

Ino looked up to see sasuke closing the door, oh wow he visited her?

"Oh my sasuke kun! You're visiting me? I wonder how many times have you went in and out of this room!" Ino started the conversation first even if her joke come out awkward. Because ino knows that is sasuke is here his first sentence would probably 'I told you not to follow me' or some and Ino doesn't want to hear any of that first.

Sasuke for some reason said something in both sarcastic and genuine tone "The day and hours you're unconscious I already visited at least eight times."

Ino have her eyes widen in shock, as in WIDE. Her expression is like [(⊙⁠ȏ⁠⊙⁠)] which made sasuke roll his eyes as he take a sit down near Ino's bed.

Ino have a hand on her chest as she fake gasps "Oh my god sasuke kun! I know you worried about me!" Ino teased as she laughs afterwards

"Are you even okay now to start laughing like a crazy woman?"

Another gasp can be heard but this time, offended.

"How dare you! You visited me only to call me crazy woman right after I woke up!?" Ino huff clearly offended

"Anyway- I'm fine now. How about you? You we're struggling to move because of that unknown cursed mark right?" Ino asked in a worried tone, she remembers how sasuke falls as if unable to move no matter what he does.

«♡»

"DARN IN! THIS CURSED MARK!" Sasuke curses trying to move but his body just felt so numb and he can't even move his finger.

"Sasuke are you okay!?" He heard Ino yelled before he felt her touch his shoulder in worry "What happened-!? Huh? What's this? Did gaara did this??" Her voice is both nervous and worried. Gaara was now transforming into something they do not know, actually no, that gaara is definitely transforming into a monster.

"Ino I deal with this! For the last time leave! Go back before you get drag to this!" Sasuke yelled sounding almost desperate

Out of all times the cursed mark could show it have to be the time where Ino can fully see him look weak amd vulnerable. How disgraceful is that. He should look cool and strong not some weakling in front of her.

"I'm definitely more than fine. Unlike you who get to have some of your bones crushed and crack, I'm completely unharmed." Sasuke said almost sounding angry and.. Worriedly disappointed? Whatever-

"I didn't expect to get attack suddenly like that okay!? I was worried about you! Plus in the end Naruto saved me right? I can hear him in the scene before I completely past out"

Upon the mention of naruto being the one to save ino Sasuke's face quickly turn into something sour or salty.

«♡»

"What do you mean you deal with this? You can't even move!" Ino huff angrily, why does sasuke have to be so stubborn? Anyway she's force to deal with that 'thing' by herself now.

Ino literally just stood and the next thing she knows is she feels incredible amount of dizziness, headache and back pain. Oh and let's not forget that it's kinda hard to breath.

"Ino!"

Sasuke screamed. He can't move, he drag someone else with him because he worried her, now he can't even save her. How useless is he. How useless is he that It's naruto who end up fighting and beating gaara in a fight, how useless is he that the only thing he manage to do is catch Ino from falling after Gaara's sand loosen.

....

"Sakura can you check on naruto?"

"I- but- what about you sasuke kun-"

"Check on him I'm fine. I'll guard Ino."

"....Alright.."

...

Clearly she's jealous that his focused is someone else.

How could she not? He could have ask her to stay with Ino while he go instead and yet.. He chose to be with Her.

«♡»

"Hey why are you making that face again? I swear I barely see you smile! If you keep frowning then you'll grew old early!" Ino jokes again as she pokes Sasuke's cheeks

Sasuke only tch but didn't stop her from poking him again and again.

"Be careful next time will you? You worried me.." Sasuke said honestly which shocks Ino, 'oh my god is this apart of does he really like me theory!?' Ino thought a small blush forming on her face before she fake coughs and replied back

"Well you should be careful next time too! Do you know how worried your teammates will get if you got hurt specially naruto? I don't want to hear any of his rant how hurt you are you know!? Hmp!"

"You're more worried about what naruto feels than you worrying about me?"

"Im worried about you too of course! But bribing you with naruto perhaps would make you listen more you know!?"

"If you used naruto then I'll definitely do the opposite."

"You sound like a jealous boyfriend!"
