A/N: Hey, everyone! I'm so INCREDIBLY SORRY I haven't updated in a long time, I've been too busy. x( Oh, and hopefully the next chapter will come sooner. R&R please! Oh, and this chapter is dedicated to iiMNOTOKAY, or Shea. And, of course, to all of my lovely reviewers, whom are the entire reason this chapter exists. Thank you all! And, I apologize in advance if it's crappy/short/confusing etc.

Disclaimer: If I owned Naruto, then nobody would read it because it'd be badly drawn and have an overused plot and storyline.

---------------------------

"What do you think they're doing?" Naruto asked loudly, as the others wondered how the hell he became a ninja with that big mouth.

"It just looks like they're talking."Neji replied, frowning slightly as his Byakugan revealed nothing of interest to the group. The group consisted of him, Naruto, obviously, Shikamaru, Chouji, who was eating, Shino, and Kiba. Lee had refused the offer, saying he had to improve on his youth while Sasuke… just seemed to have disappeared.

"What? You called us over here for that Hyuuga?" Kiba said, in a slightly disgusted tone.

"Can you at least tell us what they're saying?" Naruto whined.

Neji shot Naruto an annoyed glance. "Sorry, my Byakugan doesn't allow me to eavesdrop." He said sarcastically.

Naruto pouted a bit. "That's stupid."

Neji rolled his eyes. "No, wait… Ino and Sakura seem really excited. Tenten is really annoyed and Hinata-sama seems… scared."

"Eh? Why'd she be scared?" Shikamaru finally voiced. Naruto looked at him strangely. When had he woken up?

"We can only guess." The Hyuuga branch member said solemnly, facing the lazy genius.

-------------------------

Inside, a "girl talk" was talking place. Or, at least two girls trying to force information out of a girl, and a fourth girl protecting former girl while mildly curious. I'll insert names to make it less confusing. Ino and Sakura were currently trying to pry information out of Hinata, who was being defended by a slightly curious Tenten. Hinata was red-faced with her eyes squeezed shut.

Tenten was ticked, to say the least. If they really wanted to know who Hinata got the mysterious flower from, then they should at least allow her to speak! Finally, she had had enough. She placed her palms over the girls' mouths. "Shut up!" she all but yelled. "If you really want to know, why don't you just shut the HELL up and let Hinata talk!" Ino and Sakura nodded eyes wide. Tenten turned to the shy Hyuuga. "So, why don't you tell us what happened?" she said sweetly.

Hinata stared in awe of the older girl. Not many people had the power to shut up Ino and Sakura, after all. It was then the girl's words reached her ears. She reddened, but reluctantly nodded. "Um, w-well, y-you see, I was w-walking out of the sh-shower when I heard the door knock." Hinata began, slowly gaining confidence. "I opened the door, but no one was there. I looked around, and… I found the flower with a note attached." She said. Ino and Sakura were listening intently, their eyes tearing up at the incredible sweet (albeit cliché) romantic setting. Something, however, perked Sakura's interest.

"What was the note?" she asked curiously. Her curiosity only grew as the Hyuuga turned a deep red. "U-um, I d-do-don't fu-fully remember t-the n-note, Sakura-s-san. I-I'll j-just go home and-" Ino shook her head. "Nu-huh. We're going with you." She demanded adamantly. "Yeah, we don't want you escaping." Sakura cut in brightly, her eyes glittering mischievously.

Hinata bit back a groan. "N-no, really, I-" "I'll come with you, Hina-chan." Tenten said. She gave a secret wink to the younger girl. "I'll be sure to tell you everything that happens!" she called over her shoulder as she pushed Hinata out of the door and in the direction of the Hyuuga compound.

Ino and Sakura never saw the fingers she crossed.

---------------------------

Once they were out of the girl's earshot, Tenten gave Hinata a smile. "Hey, don't worry Hina-chan. I'm not gonna force you to tell me anything." She spoke quietly. Hinata felt a surge of relief sweep through her chest. "Arigatou, Te-Tenten-san." She murmured back to the older girl with gratitude. Tenten simply gave her a reassuring smile.

--------------------------

Neji narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

"Hey, where're they going?" Naruto asked loudly.

"They are heading towards the Hyuuga Compound." Neji replied thoughtfully. He began to do the awesome ninja-leap towards aforementioned place. "H-hey, Hyuuga, wait up!" Naruto called after him, clumsily beginning to follow. Kiba rolled his eyes, as the rest of the guys trailed after the duo.

-------------------------------

Hinata led Tenten to her room. "Wow, Hinata, did you do some redecorating since I was last here?" the older girl asked her. Hinata blushed a bit. "Y-yes, I did. Oh, h-here's the n-note." Hinata stuttered a bit, though not as badly as in the shop. She handed Tenten the note. Tenten gave a slow grin as she read the poem. "Wow, Hina-chan, whoever he is, when he asks you out, if you say no I'm seriously going to hurt you." She promised. Hinata blushed a bit, and gulped dramatically. Both girls laughed. "No, seriously, it sounds like whoever this person is, he truly cares for you." Tenten told her, her eyes filled with amused seriousness. Said girl nodded. "I guess we're all good then."

----------------------------------

Neji was officially annoyed. He was annoyed at the fact that he couldn't use his Byakugan to read the note his younger cousin apparently received. He ground his teeth in frustration. Kiba, being uncharacteristically observant, noticed this. "Hey, dude, calm down." Kiba said to the boy/man/person in front of him. Neji, in turn, focused his glare on his cousin's teammate. It was the kind of glare that shouted, 'It's in your best interest to keep your head on your shoulders, so don't mess with me.' A slightly confusing message, admittedly, but the language of glares is very complicated. Neji would know. Suddenly, an idea struck him. His eyes lost the glare, for which Kiba let out a sigh of relief to see. "Kiba…" Neji began. Kiba's earlier feelings of relief vanished. He gulped. "Er, yeah Neji?" he responded. Why did he have this funny feeling that he wasn't going to enjoy this one bit?

Again, gomen nasai. Please review, they brighten my day and give me a reason for life. I mean to write. o0

Hoping the next chapter will come out soon! I personally am getting excited about how the plot is developing. Yeah... I obviously am making it up as I go.
