[ROOM FILTER; BACKLOGGED TO EARLIER THIS MORNING.]
[a 'thunk' as the journal falls on the floor, some shuffling and a yawn]

... Ooh! ♥


[sound of more shuffling and then feet walking a circle around something. Something big. Like a giant box.]


What the hell? ... this better not be a prank ...

[the big box rattles]

What ... [a pause, and then she takes a step closer and pulls on the ribbon wrapped around the box. The front side falls open and there's a loud shriek from her as something heavy tumbles out onto her.]

[falls on top of Ino; naked, scratched up, and unconscious]

[ino]

[opens her eyes]

.... Sasuke?!

[infrareds.livejournal.com]

[shifts around, a bit delirious, but wakes up enough to comprehend the situation; immediately attempts to lift his upper body off of her, but aggravates his wounds in the process; winces and hisses between his teeth, falls on top of her again]

[ino]

[feels the blood dripping on her, is kind of grossed out ... but he's on top of her so she isn't complaining] Are--are you okay?

[infrareds.livejournal.com]

[inwardly cringes, but outwardly groans ... which pretty much means no]

[ino]

[is like freaking out mentally, but she tries to kind of roll them over so she can look at his wounds]

[infrareds.livejournal.com]

[does not struggle, since she does not seem to be a threat, just eyes her warily before glancing around the room ... and then finally down his body ...]


[attempts to sit up abruptly]

[ino]

[puts her hands on his shoulders and tries to push him back down]

Don't! You're going to make it worse!!

[is trying not to look where .. she shouldn't be looking, but she notices a sticker on his chest ...... 'Happy Birthday Ino, from the Castle' ... ignores it for now, but is bright red]

[infrareds.livejournal.com]

[grabs hold of her wrists and sits up more slowly to reassure her, but firmly so she isn't able to push him back]

Where am I?

[uses his intimidating face]

[ino]

[is not scared of you, sorry]

You're ... in my room. I don't really know how you got here. [tries to pull her wrists away so she can heal him]

[infrareds.livejournal.com]

[does not take his eyes off her face, attempting to maintain eye contact so she doesn't sneak a peek at his ding-a-ling, keeps his intimidating expression]

How did I get here, then?

[ino]

[keeps eye contact, just points to the sticker on his chest.. she knows how much of a pussy you really are, Sasuke LMAO]

[infrareds.livejournal.com]

[does not look down as he peels off the sticker, but glances at it quickly to read it]

The castle sent me here ... in a box, in this kind of state?

[ino]

[shrugs] I really wouldn't put it past the castle. [a pause] How long have you been here? You seem to know about the fact that the castle is sentient already. [is still trying to get her wrists free so she can heal him]

......

[lets go of her wrists]

[infrareds.livejournal.com]

Do you mind?

[ino]

[blinks] Oh! [gets up and goes to her closet to find him something to wear ... almost looks back at him but decides better of it]

[infrareds.livejournal.com]

[watches her, but then subtly brings his hands down to cover himself in case she turns around; isn't shy, is just modest ... waits]

[ino]

[is searching through her closet .. is in like, a tank top and underwear, but she doesn't really seem to care; is muttering something unintelligible as she keeps looking but finds nothing]

[infrareds.livejournal.com]

[after awhile, he gets up quietly and makes his way over to her bed and takes off a sheet in one swift movement; wraps it around his waist, fastens the ends together in a knot]

[ino]

[hears him taking her sheet, so she gives up on the closet and comes back around the bed to sit next to him, immediately starts healing his wounds]


Um ... what happened?

[infrareds.livejournal.com]

[sits next to her, allowing her to tend to his injuries; had stayed in his room for the past few days to heal on his own, but it's useless now]

I got these injuries from back in our world.

[ino]

[is just focusing on his wounds, not really looking at him] That didn't really answer the question.

[infrareds.livejournal.com]

I assumed it would be obvious that I was involved in a fight.

[ino]

[just looks up at him like this, but doesn't question further about what happened] Do you mind if I ask what you remember last? [doesn't want to say anything about Itachi if he doesn't remember it]
