Chapter 2: What are friends for?
While the young CEO was dragged into his cousin's "evil plan", someone else was just about to get the same treatment.
-o-
In an apartment a few blocks away, was a young woman with chocolate brown hair enjoying a hot shower. Sadly her shower was interrupted by…
*Knock, knock*
"Who is it?" The brunette asked annoyed, she stopped the water and wrapped a towel around her body while she cursed under her breath.
"You know who it is, Tenten! Why did you lock the damn door?" The voice from outside said while banging on the door repeatedly.
"Ino, did you forget to take your key with you, again?" The brunette, Tenten, asked with her hands on her hips.
"So? What if I did, you know me! Now please open the DAMN DOOR!" The person, Ino, shouted from outside as she banged once again on the door, just to annoy her friend a little more. Tenten sighed and tighten the towel around her.
"Fine…" Tenten unlocked the door and Ino walked happily in. Ino was kinda the opposite of Tenten, she had long, beach blond hair that reached her butt and big, sky blue eyes, making her a classic blond. Tenten's hair only reached her midback and was slightly curlier than Ino's hair. Her hair color matched her eyes, which was brown as well.
"Thank you!... Oh? Tenten dear, maybe you should get a new towel, what would the neighbor thinks if they saw you in that little towel of yours?" Ino said sarcastic as she pointed at her friend's… rather… exposed… body. Tenten looked down at herself and not many seconds passed before her cheeks turned a rosy red color. She gave a half awkward smile to her friend and slowly skipped away to her room with long steps.
-o-
Tenten walked into the living room, she was wearing a plain white top and some sporty light blue hotpants, her hair was pulled into a rather messy ponytail. Ino was sitting on the couch looking through a magazine. She was wearing the same, only her hotpants was pale purple instead of light blue. Her hair was pulled into a ponytail like Tenten's, just without the messiness.
Tenten was about the make her way to the kitchen, when Ino asked out of nowhere:
"Tenten, have you ever considered getting a boyfriend?" Tenten stopped on her tracks. She turned to face her friend with an almost hunted look.
"No? Why?" She said awkwardly.
"Oh, it's just… You haven't dated anyone since you and Kiba broke up, and it been like 4-5 months ago, a pretty long time being single, don't you think?" Ino asked with a playful smile while she flipped her hair.
"First of, me and Kiba broke up 3 months ago and the guy cheated on me, remember? I date, when I meet the right guy, I'm done dating random guys!" Tenten hissed out at Ino, who sighed at her friend's reaction.
"I'm not telling you to date random people, don't blame me, sweetie, I'm just trying to help you" Ino said sugary while she secretly enjoyed the frustration that shinned in her friend's eyes.
"But that IS what happens! Always! You see some guy and say 'Hey Tenten, eye candy! Date him!' It is an evil circle that I just want to get out of!" Tenten shouted frustrated with hands in the air while she sat down on the couch, next to Ino, heavily. Ino looked at her friend with a small smile playing on her lips and said:
"Awww, Tenten… Not all of them have cheated on you" Tenten looked at Ino with an 'are-you-kidding-me'-look.
"Not all of them! But most of them do! Whether it's because of alcohol or not, men are nothing but a waste of MY time, why do I even try?" Tenten pulled her hair as she yelled it all out like a madman.
"Not every man is a waste of time, there are some who is worth it" Ino said dreamy. Tenten gave her a weird look.
"Okay, Ino, who is now Mr. have-it-all?" Tenten asked Ino teasefully. Ino blushed and looked away panicked.
"No one!" Ino said quickly with her hands in front of her in defense. Tenten smiled evilly at Ino. Payback is a bitch!
"Oh come on! Tell me!" Tenten said while the smirk on her face grew wider as Ino moved further away from her on the couch with even redder cheeks than before.
"Tenten, I just told you, no one!" Ino said with red cheeks and panic shinning out from her bright, blue eyes. She desperately tried to hide her red cheeks with her hair, but failed miserably when Tenten lifted it.
"There must be someone, you're all red in the face" Tenten said as she lifted Ino hair off her face and pointed at Ino's red cheeks with suspicion and sarcasms.
"If I tell you, will you start dating again?" Ino asked desperately. Tenten looked at her with a blank look and sighed a few moments after.
"Firstly, I have NOT stopped dating! I'm just talking a break! But… whatever… fine, you win, any ideas?" Tenten asked while she rolled her eyes in annoyance. Ino smiled widely and said joyfully:
"I have the BEST idea EVER!" Ino hugged Tenten strongly, Tenten looked like she was being choked and her arms was waving everywhere, desperately trying to get out of Ino's strong, iron grip. Finally Ino's grip loosed up after sometime, thank god, and Tenten was stuck trying to catch her breath while Ino was smiling like a fool at her.
"Are…you… trying… to… kill me?" Tenten asked still a little out of breath with one hand on her chest and the other on her hip.
"Maybe" Ino said with her hands behind her back, it looked like she was pretending to have a halo on top of her head. A halo she, according to Tenten, didn't have. Tenten looked at Ino with a lifted eyebrow and asked sarcastic:
"Well Ino? What is your oh so genius idea?" Ino smiled at Tenten and replied proudly:
"We are getting you, a dating profile!" Tenten's eyes widened at Ino's answer. No freaking way!
"A what?" Tenten looked completely dumbfounded at Ino with her mouth hanging open.
"We're going to make you a dating profile on 'Date me'!" Ino said happily without a care in world.. Well more like her world.
"Never heard of it" Tenten said uninterested. She stood up and was just about to leave the room when Ino grabbed her hand and dragged off toward the room of the devil.
-o-
Well here she was… sitting… in front of a laptop… well her friend was in front of the laptop with a big goofy smile on her face… why is she doing this anyway? Oh yeah, secret crush, friend, wanna know, yeah whatever…
"Username? What should we call you?" Ino asked her without even looking at her. Is she talking to herself? She is, right?
"Ah ha! Sassy-Brunette! I'm such a genius!" Ino said happily to herself. Just as the words left Ino's mouth Tenten panicked.
"What NO! I'm not sassy!" Tenten desperately tried to push Ino aside, she was NOT to be called sassy! Not in a million years!
"You SO are!" Ino pushed Tenten off her and tasted the name.
"I'm not! Do you even know what sassy means?" Tenten asked while pulling her hair up and down in panic.
"Well yeah, of course I do! It means sexy and funny, what else should it mean?" Ino answered proudly, Tenten slapped her own face, leaving a red hand mark on it.
"No, it means-"
"Doesn't matter! I already clicked on the finish button" Ino looked at Tenten encouraging, "Oh dear, relax your muscles, we don't want any wrinkles now, do we?", Ino asked with an incredible sweetness in her voice. Tenten sighed to herself and thought:
"What have I gotten myself into?"
To be continued

A/N: Well that was chapter 2, I hope you liked it!
Ino and Tenten live together and are best friends, despite their differences. I have always liked the idea of them being great friends, they are kinda opposite each other in a good way, and I think it will only benefit them and the story.
Tenten is, unlike Neji, have experiences when it comes to dating, she just always ends up with wrong guy. In this story Tenten is more "forward" than Neji is, normally in many AU stories Neji is the one with the big dating experience.
Why Kiba? I truly don't know, he just seems like a "ladies man" xD I'll most likely use known Naruto character as "dates" and former boyfriends/girlfriends, it is more relatable.
Hint for the next chapter… a lot of amateur dating!
Please review and feel free to come with ideas for the following chapters, I'm open! Inspire me! ^^
