50 Reasons Why

Chapter Four

I finished the last stack of the paperwork that I was given from yesterday. Finally. I groaned as I looked outside the window. The sun was coming up. What time was it? I rubbed my eyes slowly. She should be up by now. Let's get this tour over with.

I walked through the third floor as I made my way to her room. I wonder what today has in store for me.

I knocked on her door. There was no answer.

I knocked again. No answer.

I furrowed my brow in frustration. She's a kunoichi. She should be awake after this noise.

This time I banged the door. Still no answer.

I listened for a moment. There was no shuffling or anything from inside. She was still sleeping. I told her I would be here early. Reason twenty-two. She's a heavy sleeper.

I banged louder.

This time I heard an exasperated sigh from inside and shuffling. Finally she's awake.

The door flew open.

"What?" She shouted in annoyance and I blinked. Her hair was a rat's nest. She was pale with bags under her eyes. She must have not slept well.

"I'm here to take you to the hospital." I stated.

She must have forgot. I caught myself staring at her hair. As I followed her hair down its path, I quickly shot my eyes back up at the sight of black lace. She was only wearing her undergarments. Black lace undergarments. I changed my view to look down the hallway. I couldn't dare another peak at her.

"Oh, shit, the tour!" She shouted once more. "Come in!"

"Ino..." I couldn't look at her. Does she not realize her position?

"What?" She was oblivious to her state of dress. Damn, I'll have to look at her. Forcefully, I looked towards her face and fought not to finish the trail my eyes took earlier.

"Clothes." I spoke quickly.

Her eyes widened as she realized her state. She then closed her eyes and a smile took form on her tired face. Why was she smiling?

"Yeah, I have a lack of those when I sleep. Come on in, I'll get ready fast." She smirked and I felt my eyes widen. How I'd like to see what else she sleeps in. Damn it, I need to get that thought out of my head.

She turned away to walk towards the bathroom. I walked in slowly. I looked around before deciding to look at the wall. Reason twenty-three; she keeps me waiting.

Her body... that's a weakness for most shinobi. It explains so much for her ninja outfit. It's a distraction that can come in great play during battles. I felt eyes on me and I peered over to see her standing there. A toothbrush stuck out of her mouth as she was reaching over top of the dresser. She still remained dressed in her underwear and I looked away immediately. I had to be a gentlemen. She's here on business matters.

I heard her walk back towards the bathroom. Then her footsteps grew closer and I could hear the sound of her bare feet on the kitchen tile.

"You have great manners." She spoke. Her voice was coy.

I released a breath of air as I dared a look at her. I turned towards her and decided this was my time to fully take a look at her.

Her hair fell down to her hips when not in its ponytail. She wore black lace underwear and bra. Her skin still looked soft and her body was much thinner than I expected. Except for the curves that stuck out in the right places. Her breasts filled out her bra and her hips were inviting. I roamed her body once more before I stopped to look at her hair on top. It was everywhere. She drowning in blonde. Her hair was...
