Sasuke parked in the middle school parking lot and the four got out of the car.

"We'll meet here when we finish our clue?" Shikamaru asked. The other three nodded their heads mutely and they walked off.

Sasuke walked inside the opened building and quickly abandoned the other boys as he scouted for Sakura's old locker. He knew the general area of it, but her specific locker was a bit harder to remember. It's not like he spent much time with her during this period of his life.

He walked down the hallway that it would be in and nostalgia hit him. He could almost picture all his old classmates and he could picture middle school Sakura who had just become friends with Ino.

He stopped in front of a locker and found that it was empty. He tried a few more until he found one with a pink combo lock. He frowned and held the lock.

It had four numbers. He tried her birth year and it didn't work. He tried her birthday (yes he knew the annoying girl's birthday by heart, why wouldn't he?). He frowned when an idea hit him. No, it couldn't be. He tried the numbers anyways. 0723. He pulled the lock and it opened. He felt his heart skip a beat for a moment. It was his birthday. Of course. Perfect.

The locker swung opened. Inside was full of pictures, notebooks, and pieces of folded paper. The pictures were all of him. Some were with her, some were with Naruto, but all of the pictures had him in it. The notebooks were owned by Uchiha Sakura followed and surrounded by little pink hearts. The folded pieces of paper contained love notes that were all addressed to him. As much as it should have crept Sasuke out, it just filled him with sadness.

Sasuke could remember clearly now. This was Sakura's most annoying phase. It was just after middle school started and she started to hang out with Ino. Then Sakura turned into a fan girl.

Sasuke walked down the hall toward his next period class. Naruto was babbling in his ear about something or another but Sasuke didn't care. He could feel the stares of girls who were nervously peeping behind their books and lockers.

"S-Saskue-kun?" He heard behind him. He sighed. He would recognize that voice anywhere, even though they never talked much during their elementary school lunches. He turned to see Sakura standing there shifting from foot to foot.

"Hn." He grunted, prompting her to continue and to let her know he was kind of listening.

"I-I just wanted to give you this." Sakura held up a small note that was neatly folded in half.

With a roll of his eyes he took it and shoved it in his back pocket. "Is that it?" He hissed although she seemed unfazed as her smile grew bigger and bigger from his acceptance of the note.

"Yup! See you later Sasuke-kun!" She smiled as he turned around and walked off.

Naruto watched the whole exchange and smirked. "How come you ignore all your other fan girls but not Sakura-chan? You got a crush?"

"No." Sasuke snarled. "She is just annoying." In truth, Sakura was the only girl that Sasuke would wait to listen to, even if it was to just give him a stupid love letter. He didn't do it because he liked her that way but because she used to be different. They were…friends.

"Whatever you say teme." Naruto laughed at his best friend. To prove Naruto wrong, Sasuke pulled out the note. "Aw, are you going to read it teme?"

"No." Sasuke smirked as he ripped it in half before Naruto's eyes.

Naruto and he kept walking. He never knew that Sakura watched the entire exchange, including him ripping apart her note. She never knew that when he got home he tapped it back together and put it with all the other notes she had given him.

From there on, Sakura did change. She realized she only acted like that to be like Ino and the other girls. Even though she honestly did like the Uchiha, she didn't love him…not yet anyways. After that day, Sasuke didn't get any more love notes from Sakura. Hell, she didn't speak to him much anymore in middle school.

Sasuke looked at the contents of the locker. He didn't like this Sakura. He didn't like the fake girl who tried to be like the other girls by liking him.

Behind one of the pictures of him and Naruto was a lined piece of paper with the word QUEST written on it. He opened it up and read.

Sasuke,

You made it to the second clue? I'm stunned, and proud, at least I know I will be when it happens. Maybe I was wrong about you. Although this is only the second clue.

Anyways, a little explanation is needed. Look in the locker. Everything in there was my 'love' for you, never once did you reciprocate it. True, it was superficial and stupid, but isn't that how you view me? Isn't that all you see when you look at me? Stupid fan girl Sakura from the sixth grade?

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe you don't see me that way, but I feel like that is the reason you never liked me: because of fan girl Sakura. It wasn't until you ripped my confession that I knew I was being an idiot. So thank you for that, you made me sane. True it broke my heart back then, but it healed for the most part.

Anyways, now that is over, we can move on to clue three if you dare: Let's go Konoha, Let's go! *Clap Clap* Knock 'em down, throw 'em down, hurrah, hurrah!

Pictures to MASTERMIND and you are golden!

Good luck, pack up my fan girl Sakura stuff for me, and possibly see you soon.

Sakura

Sasuke sighed. He never knew she saw him ripped up the note. He felt guilty but kind of glad, but that's got her to become normal Sakura so he couldn't regret it.

Sasuke took a picture and wrote a message to MASTERMIND.

To: MASTERMIND

From: Sasuke

*ATTACHMENT*

Sakura,

I never knew you saw me rip the note. I had only done it to prove

wrong Naruto. If it is any consolation, I went home and tapped

it back together. I still have all your notes. I never got rid of them.

Take a look when you sneak in there next time; in the closet, top

right. It is in a big box, can't miss it, or I could show you some

time.

Sasuke

To: Sasuke

From: MASTERMIND

Sasuke,

What did I say about writing messages? IT'S NOT ALLOWED.

You kept them? Why? That's embarrassing! If you are using it for black

mail, it isn't going to work. You should get rid of them. And Mr. Uchiha,

I will not be sneaking into your room anytime soon. It was strictly to

deliver the note. Don't feel special, I did it will ALL the boys. And I'm

not sure that showing me a box of my stupidest phase will do you any

good, just saying.

NO MORE TEXTS UCHIHA!

Sakura- seriously though, enough with the texts, it's no, no.

Sasuke rolled his eyes at the girl's response. Blackmail? Maybe she was still a little stupid after all.

Naruto walked down the hallway to the music hall. He remembered it like it was yesterday.

He had been in detention and was walking through the music hall to leave the school. He was tired, upset with the stupid busy work he had to do, and downright hungry. He was eager to go home and make some ramen.

That's when he heard it, the soft piano drifting from behind one of the cracked open doors. Curiosity was always something Naruto had too much of. He ran toward the door and listened to the soft sad tune.

Naruto peaked inside to see Hinata, her hair much longer then the first time they met by the lone swing. Her eyes were half lidded, focused on the keys, and her hands she drifting gracefully over the keys. She was in her own little world. Oblivious to any listeners.

Naruto walked silently into the room and watched her play. She still hadn't noticed him and he hoped she won't so he could hear the rest of the song.

Unfortunately, Naruto was rather hungry and his stomach let out an unpleasant growl, snapping Hinata out of her daze. She looked up, she face as red as a tomato and she looked away.

The awkward silence filled the room. Naruto fidgeted under the tension and finally spoke. "That was pretty."

Hinata looked up. "T-Thanks."

"Did you make it yourself?" Naruto asked, cocking his head to the side.

Hinata shook her head. "N-No, i-its s-someone else's."

"What's it called?"

"W-When the L-Love F-Falls, by Yiruma." Hinata looked up.

"You are really good though, like really good." Naruto smiled. "Hey! Can you finish it for me? I'd really like to hear it."

Hinata blushed bright and nodded her head. Naruto grinned and sat down beside her on the piano bench. Hinata's hands were shaking and she fumbled on the keys. Naruto frowned.

"Hey, are you nervous?" Hinata nodded her head embarrassed. "Don't be! You're the girl who was my first friend."

Hinata looked up. "R-Really? W-What a-about S-Sasuke?"

Naruto frowned. "I wouldn't have been friends with him without you. So really you're my first girlfriend."

At the words Hinata felt herself get lightheaded (g-girlfriend?) and pass out. Lucky for her, Naruto caught her before he head fell hit the piano.

"Hinata? HINATA? Wake up!" Naruto shook the girl but it was no use, she was out cold.

A few minutes later she would wake up and flee the room but Naruto would never get to hear the rest of the song.

Naruto stopped outside the door that Hinata was playing in and walked in. On top of the piano was a small boom box. Naruto walked toward it and pressed the play button. He instantly remembered the music as the song that he caught Hinata playing.

Naruto closed his eyes and imagined Hinata playing this song and smiled. On top of the boom box was a piece of paper he opened it and read.

Naruto,

Good job! You did it! Whoot whoot! I knew you could you little baka!

Now while this song as no lyrics, it does have a meaning. Your job is to figure it out. (BIG FAT FUCKING HINT: the name of the song) Whether you do figure it out doesn't matter (you won't be tested). But ponder the topic for us anyways, please little Uzumaki?

Anyways, on to clue number three, excited? I am: Being blunt again, thinking kissing big boy. Kissing and Hinata and I'm sure you will figure it all out.

Pictures to MASTERMIND, please and thank you.

Good luck, please collect the boom box, but the CD is yours to keep…but you owe me some cash bub.

Sakura

Naruto snapped a picture of the boom box but stayed in the room a while longer, listening to the piano and trying to decode the meaning. He was determined to figure it out.

Shikamaru paced back and forth in front of the door. He was closing and opening his fists that rested by his sides. He really didn't want to go in, but he needed to understand why Ino thought he didn't care.

He turned toward the mocking door with then lady figure on it. With a sigh, he pushed it opened and walked in. He didn't see anything at first until he turned to the mirror. Although he would never ever admit this, a small girlish scream echoed the bathroom walls.

Oh the mirror was make-up, lots of it. Pounds and pounds of the stuff creating a scary looking face. Shikamaru looked at it and started to realize it was the same skin tone as Ino and the same looking sparkly blue stuff she puts on her over eyes. Was this really what Ino wore every day? He lifted his figure and smudged the make-up and felt it on his finger before dusting it off.

Shikamaru let himself into Ino's room. He had just talked with her parents for a few minutes before excusing himself to the real reason he had come by. He needed to borrow Ino's science homework because even though he could do it, he was too lazy. Hell, he was probably going to ask her to fill the answers out for him anyways.

Without knocking (both of them long ago dropped that habit), he opened the door to find a pajama clad Ino sitting with a mountain of tubes, bottles, and cases on her bed.

Shikamaru raised an eyebrow as she met his gaze. "What is that?"

"Make-up." Ino smiled. "I'm going through it, throwing out the bad stuff or the stuff I don't use anymore."

"Why is there so much?" He asked.

"Trust me; I wouldn't look half as gorgeous as I did now without the help of these babies." Ino smirked.

Shikamaru silently disagreed but wouldn't say anything. "What is this?" He decided to ask as he picked up a random tube. It was black and thin, the paint scrapped off long ago.

"Eyeliner, it is…You know what?" Ino asked with an evil smirk. "You can here for science homework right?" Shikamaru nodded his head, not liking where this is going. "How about a deal? I'll do your science homework and you let me do your make-up."

"No."

"Please!"

"No."

"Shika-kun!"

"No!"

"Please?"

Sigh. "Fine." Shikamaru found it too troublesome to continue arguing and let the girl do her work. At least he didn't have to do anything for a while.

About an hour he sat there listening to Ino tell him all the uses of the make-up she was using on him. Not that he was really listening, but he was slightly horrified by all the make-up she went through.

"All done!" Ino smiled. "If you let me do your hair, I'll throw in my math homework." She teased.

Shikamaru sighed. He knew this was Sakura's messed up way of showing him how much time and effort Ino put in, but he didn't ask for her to do that. He didn't even want to. She was probably even more beautiful without the stuff, not that he would tell her. That would be admitting that she was pretty and she'd let it go to her head.

Shikamaru picked up the note taped to the sink and read.

Shikamaru

You made it! Do you like the picture? Pretty right? I think I did a good job. I'm thinking art is my forte.

I took almost just as much time as Ino does for her make-up: 1 hour and 23 minutes. Can you say damn!

Anyways, I sure you figured out why I showed you this, aren't you a smart cookies! So on to the three clue: I'm thinking of a number between 9 and 12 and sexy tutors! Rawr!

Pictures to MASTERMIND like always but you knew that didn't you genius boy. Oh you smart cookie, you!

Good luck, clean up the make-up mirror, and proceed great adventurer, going where no boy has gone before (though I'd, double check with Hyugga, I mean look at that hair! Can you say damn!).

Sakura

Shikamaru rolled his eyes at the note and quickly started working on cleaning the mirror, a small smirk falling on to his face. Hyugga does spend an unreasonable amount of time on his hair.

Neji walked outside of the school and toward the track field. In middle school that was the only place he ever spent time with Tenten. Plus the coach reference was a bit obvious, at least for a prodigy like himself.

He stopped on the track lanes and could see a small item a few meters away. He quickly walked over to reveal a stopwatch, a running stopwatch. 16:47:32. Neji shook his head.

Neji held the stopwatch in his hands as he watched Tenten sprint down the track. Three weeks ago, he offered to be her coach for her track meet in two months. She agreed and he was now timing her runs, helping her stretch correctly, and train.

Tenten raced over the first line. He smirked at the time as she jogged over to him. "22.76."

Tenten's eyes widened as she jumped Neji, engulfing him in a hug. "Really?" She looked up at him still holding him. He nodded his head slowly and she tightened her hold on him before letting him go.

"You still need to do your cool downs." Neji warned.

Tenten looked back at him and rolled her eyes. Neji was such a grouch. He was her coach for track and also her mentor in science which they did at the track field before practice. He constantly was offering his advice and helping her out which Tenten appreciated, plus it didn't hurt that he was pretty good looking. Neji had thoughts around the same lines.

After her cool downs, Neji and Tenten walked toward the parking lot. Tenten walked to school, but Neji's uncle was going to pick him up. Tenten was about to wave him good bye when he wrapped an arm around her. "Good job."

Without another look to her, Neji walked toward his uncle's car and climbed in.

Neji sighed. He wasn't sure what this memory was supposed to mean in the grand scheme of things. He ripped off the piece of paper on the back of the stopwatch and read.

Neji,

You really SPED through that one. I never knew you were so QUICK on your feet. Sorry, no more puns, I promise…maybe.

Anyways, good job! You are on to clue number 3: "I heard monsters groanin' and moanin' under the stairs."- Uzumaki Naruto, overheard by MASTERMIND!

Show us the prodigy you are, please, do it. Pictures of MASTERMIND pleasey?

Good luck, and SPEED on ahead to the next LEG of the RACE. I'm sorry, I can't stop.

Sakura

Neji felt his stomach flip. She wanted him to go to the high school stair case where Naruto though monsters were hiding but in actuality…oh God.

Sakura finally pulled to a stop.

"Are we here? Serious?" Tenten asked amazed. It was a rather nice house they were parked outside of.

"Freedom!" Ino yelled as she dashed out of the car.

Hinata and Sakura remained silent as they climbed out of the car. "S-So w-where are w-we?"

"MASTERMIND's family's summer house." Sakura grinned. "You ready to meet him? I bet you'll freak."

Ino rolled her eyes. "Why, you said he isn't a creep."

"True, but you'll see." Sakura smirked as she walked toward the door. Tenten, Ino, and Hinata wearily followed behind. Slowly they reached the steps.

Sakura knocked on the door and not two seconds later did the door swing open.

"No way." Ino muttered with wide eyes as she stared.

"I never would have guessed it...I mean he-your just-never mind." Tenten blurted with her mouth hanging open.

"I-Its w-was very u-unexpected." Hinata agreed as she rubbed her eyes in astonishment.

Sakura could only smirk as MASTERMIND tossed his cell phone at her. She looked at it and curse. "I thought I told Uchiha to stop adding messages with his attachments!" She quickly typed back a response with a small blush of embarrassment on her face. Ino tore her eyes off MASTERMIND and looked at Sakura with a questioning look. "Nothing." Sakura muttered. "I just didn't know Uchiha kept my old love letters to him in his closet."

Sasuke was holding a shoe box of photos and fan girl Sakura paraphernalia, Naruto was holding a boom box, and Neji was holding a stopwatch when Shikamaru walked up.

"More stuff?" He asked.

"You didn't get any?" Naruto whined. "That's not fair!"

"I went into the girl's bathroom, I think you are fine." Shikamaru glared.

"Where to next?" Neji asked. "I need to go to the high school."

"Same." The other three chorused.

"Then let's go." Sasuke muttered as he led to group toward his car.

Another chapter DONE! Anyways how'd you like it?

Any more guesses for MASTERMIND? And which of the four idiot (boys) are you liking the best?

Thanks for Reading and PLEASE review! I love them! Until next time!
