Predictions of love

It was one of the best times of the year in Ino's opinion. The summer fest had finally come. That means looking hotter than the sun in yukata! Ino squealed internally. She had decided to bring Sakura, Hinata, Tenten, and Temari along as well.

Sakura didn't see what the big deal was. Since becoming a doctor she had been more careful of what she ate. That meant the fried and greasy festival food just seemed to be there to taunt her. Of course there is nothing wrong with indulging once in a while, but she had just satisfied her sweet tooth two days ago. This festival was clearly a test of her will power.

The two girls were slowly making their way from booth to booth with Sakura turning down all offers of food that was either fried or sugary. Ino was enjoying some takoyaki when she spotted the word "love" out of the corner of her eye. Being a hopeless romantic, she couldn't resist stopping to turn and read the rest of the sign.

Fortune Telling. Find your true love tonight!

"Alright. Next stop, the fortune teller's booth!" Ino exclaimed to her friends. They rolled their eyes at Ino, but nodded anyway since it sounded like fun. They made their way to the booth and saw it had a midnight blue tent behind it that was barely visible by the lanterns' glow.

At the booth they saw a young girl who took their money and led them into the large tent. "Now I'm a little inexperienced, but before we say farewell I will use my gift to see which of my sisters will do your reading. Please hold out your hands." Once the women held out their hands the young girl quickly latched onto Temari's wrist and stilled. She just stood there for a few moments, staring at Temari's palm. Then quickly backed off with a sweet smile. "Yuka will be the one to do your reading. She is the one who will see you most clearly. She's through this curtain." She stated while holding the curtain open.

That's when it clicked. "A-are y-y-you a p-p-palm r-reader?" Hinata asked, though she and the other women were quite sure of the answer. "I-if y-you d-d-don't mind c-c-could you t-tell us your n-name?

The girl grinned mischievously. "I sure am! It's my strongest gift! My name is Momo." She crowed. Her smile was must have been contagious because the ladies soon found themselves smiling broadly as well. In the next instant Momo grabbed at Tenten's hand, startling her, and stared intently at it. "Got it! You need to see Megumi. She's the one you will get along with best."

Momo turned to Hinata next and smiled like they were best friends. "I can tell at a glance that you need to see Hikari." She said proudly. "Now then as for you two,"

"I want to see the best fortune teller here!" Ino interrupted.

"That's not going to happen. Grandmother doesn't do readings unless there is someone who can't be read by anyone else. However I can guarantee we will get you the fortune teller best suited for you if you just let me read your palm." Momo chastised. With that she gripped Ino's wrist gently and once again did her thing. "Okay, you need to see Hikari as well. Since you have to wait you get a free small charm. We have tons of charms. There are charms for luck, love, harmony, friendship, health, beauty, long life, and so much more! Just name whatever you want a little boost in and I'll get it for you."

"In that case I would like a charm that will make me even more beautiful!" Ino demanded.

"One beauty charm it is then. I'll be with you in a moment miss…" Momo trailed off looking at Sakura expectantly.

"You can call me Sakura, Momo-chan, and you don't have to call me miss or anything like that." Sakura said with a smile. She saw Momo's face light up. She chuckled simply because she liked Momo.

"What a perfect name for you! I wish I didn't have to call you miss, but it is part of the job. Well I better get that charm." She was about to go to the back when she almost ran into a beautiful women that had stepped from behind one of the curtains. "I'm so sorry Misaki."

"Momo, what have I told you about moving forward while looking behind you." The woman now known as Misaki said sternly, but on her face was a gentle smile. "Be careful. After all you're a very important member of our family."

"Yes nee-san. I'll work on not doing it anymore." Momo sighed.

"As for you, young miss, I will do your reading if you have no objections." Misaki said to Sakura.

"Uh, yeah. I mean if you wouldn't mind doing my reading, that's fine."

"It would be my honor." She replied holding the curtain open for Sakura.

-Meanwhile, with Temari and Yuka-

"So let me get this straight. The love of my life is someone who has a great love of bugs and the outdoors. He prefers not to show his face and is friends with Hinata. On top of that you say that I will ask him out within the next two weeks. Why doesn't he ask me out? As for my career I can do anything I set my mind to, but in the future you see me as an ambassador for Konoha. Why Konoha instead of Suna?" Temari questioned.

"Well, I can't answer your first question because he isn't the one I'm reading. You are. As for your second question I did see Suna in your past but whenever I tried to look for your future with Suna I saw only sadness and bitterness. If you were to go back to Suna people will judge you and your brothers' based on the past. You would find no happiness because your brothers would be suffering. Your other choice would be to leave them here, but you are far too loyal to your family to do that according to my reading. If you were to go to Suna anyway, you would not have a good selection of jobs like you would here in Konoha. Supporting yourself would be a daily struggle. In the end it is up to you to decide what path to take." Yuka trailed off.

"I see." Temari sighed. She was treated better in konoha than she ever was in Suna. It would be too hard to say goodbye to my friends anyway. Maybe this fortune teller actually knows what she's doing. Then again, she said the love of my life would love bugs… She silently laughed at herself for believing, even slightly, in this weirdness. These people seem nice but money is what pays the bills. They would probably say anything to get it.

-With Tenten and Megumi-

"WHAT? You're saying that my true love is LEE?" Tenten squawked.

"You already know the man with thick eyebrows and a love for martial arts? Isn't that splendid! He's probably already in love with you then. That's wonderful!" Megumi sighed dreamily.

"No, you don't understand! Lee is madly in love with my friend Sakura! There's no way he and I could be together." Tenten mumbled sadly.

"You're already in love with him." Megumi realized. She made her customer feel bad so now she had to set things right. After all because he is her true love these feelings won't fade even with time. "I have an idea! Why don't you show him that you're the best suited for him. During the reading I saw that you have mastered many different weapons. Yes that should work. Then you can show him your feminine side by letting your hair down and dressing up. I noticed you have an aversion to skirts so you should let your most fashionable friend pick out some sexy pants for you. This Lee will be yours before the week is up!"

"Do I have to pay you extra for this advice?" Tenten questioned.

"Ha ha ha. Nope not one yen. I'm doing this because I felt terrible for making my customer sad. This is my penance. Now then, let's continue with your reading." Megumi laughed.

-With Hinata and Hikari-

Hinata was upset to hear that Naruto and she weren't meant to be, but it was not unexpected. Naruto loved Sakura with all his heart. She knew that what she felt was mere infatuation. Even so when she walked into the room and the women looked at her with gentle but serious eyes and said she should give up on the feelings she was harboring, it hurt.

"You know, Hinata-san, I used to be just like you. I mean exactly like you, right down to the stuttering. What got me to stop stuttering and filled me with a great amount of confidence was falling in love with a man who loves me back. He became my confidence. I know there is a man out there who can become yours." Hikari said softly.

Hinata shook her head. "I d-don't w-w-want to feel the p-pain of rejection a-again, e-even if that m-m-makes me w-weak." She cried.

Hikari sighed. "Then what about accepting the feelings your true love holds for you? Even if it's just so he won't feel what you're feeling now, because he is your destined one, you will grow to love him. I would give your heart a little time to heal, but during that time you should get to know him better."

"Who i-is h-he? D-d-do I e-even know h-him?" Hinata asked.

"I don't know his name, but how many guys do you know that wear purple paint on his face?" Hikari answered with a soft smile on her face.

"Kankuro?" Hinata murmured wide-eyed.

Hikari chuckled. "Hinata-san you will be a great leader for your family's company. One of the best, I'd wager."

"Thank you, Hikari-san." Hinata bowed deeply to Hikari who quickly became embarrassed.

"You don't really have to thank me. Uh… Let's just continue with the reading."

-With Sakura-

Sakura followed the mysterious Misaki into a dark room with a crystal ball. Misaki gestured for Sakura to sit in the chair closest to the entrance/exit. As soon as she took the seat opposite Sakura, Misaki waved a hand over the clear crystal ball. It instantly filled with gray and white swirling clouds that were impossible to see through. Sakura rolled her eyes. They certainly know how to put on a show. Sakura thought skeptically. Misaki smirked.

"I know you don't believe in this," Misaki acknowledged "but I would appreciate it if you listened to my reading anyway. Now, Let us begin. First please tell me your name."

"Sakura Haruno" She replied. Sakura sat and watched the expressions flit across Misaki's face rather than the swirls in the crystal ball. Misaki started with a confident expression. Then it turned into concentration and finally confusion. Sakura decided to speak up. "Is something the matter?"

Misaki let out a frustrated sigh. "It's been ten years. Exactly ten years today in fact."

"Am I supposed to know what that means?" Sakura inquired.

"What it means is that you are one of the few 'blind spots' in our abilities. I can't see any real pictures like I'm able to 99% of the time. In my 20 years of doing readings I have only come across three people I could not read." Misaki stated matter-of-factly. "I'm one of those people. Then there is Grandmother and you Sakura."

"Okay. No offense, but I don't believe a word of this. Did you pull this on my friends too? If you can't do a reading for me then can I at least get my money back?"

"You don't have to worry. Just because I can't do your reading does not mean you won't be getting one. Come. Grandmother shall do your reading."
