Ino was humming to herself and watering the flowers in her shop when the door flew open wide and Naruto rushed in. She barely had time to process what was going on before the boy was on the floor kissing her feet with great rapidity. Between the kisses, he told his story of what had happened to him since Anko had stolen him.

"So why did you come here? From the sound of things, curse mark or not, you are officially Hinata's property. If I keep you here, I'm a thief."

"I know..." trembling as he answered, "... but I love you and your pretty feet. Anko treated me worse than dirt, and Hinata kept me as eye candy. I know that as a slave, I should have no expectation of appreciation, but... I just can't help it, I was so happy as your foot slave."

The blonde goddess looked down at those eyes full of tears and she had compassion. She knelt down and put his head in her lap. "There there, I don't care who the law says you belong to, you will always be my foot slave."

Naruto Brightened up. "Really?"

"Really. I thought you might come back so I've been saving something for you." She stood up and walked into a back room of the shop. Naruto sat patiently awaiting the return of his mistress. Finally she came back into the room holding a glass of some foul liquid. "Since the day I lost you, I've been saving this up. After every training session and after every mission, I've rung out my socks in this glass. That's quite a lot of foot sweat don't you think? I want you to drink it to prove to me that you are a loyal and obedient foot slave and that you will never leave your mistress again."

Naruto jumped up and took the glass. He gulped it down instantly. It wasn't until it was all down that he began to gag and choke. The stuff had been horrible, but he would do anything to prove his love for mistress Ino and her gorgeous feet.

As he was still gagging, Ino pushed him to the floor and shoved her foot in Naruto's mouth. This calmed him down considerably as he began to suck the dirt and grime off of Ino's sandal. He lay there like this for far too short a time before Ino removed her foot. "I've got some work to do around the shop. You can sit here and clean my sandals though." With that, Naruto undid the straps on her footwear and began to lick the bottoms diligently as Ino worked around the shop, stepping lightly with her bare feet. after a good half of an hour, the bottoms of the shoes were clean.

"Ino?"

"Yes Naruto?"

"I'm done cleaning your sandals. Should I clean your feet now? They must have gotten dirty walking around the shop."

Ino looked at the clock. "I guess it couldn't hurt to take a break." With that she sat down and motioned for Naruto to come. He began by cleaning the grime off with his tongue. Then he couldn't help but kiss them. Oh how he had missed these feet. Ino just smiled down at him. "You know what I'd really like after all this work on my feet? A massage."

"Off course!" He said cheerfully has he began on her right foot and then on her left.

"You know, if I had you help me out around the shop, I'd have more time take breaks like these."

"I would like that very much, mistress Ino-sama."

"So formal! Hinata certainly did teach you some manners. I like the improvement. But it's time for me to get back to work." She wriggled her toes and Naruto gently lowered her foot into the sandal. First the right then the left. No sooner had Naruto finished tying the last strap than the shop-door began to open. Ino began to walk towards the door thinking it might be a customer. Naruto quickly hid himself by using the transformation jutsu to turn into a flower-pot.

When the door finally opened..
