So exciting whooo!

Haha, maybe that's just me.

Well hope you like and if you read this story, leave a review because they fuel me haha :)


"TENTEN?" Ino chased Tenten around the room, "STAND EFFING STILL! IT WON'T KILL YOU TO WEAR A LITTLE MAKE UP!"

Tenten was on the other side of the table. She finched to the right and ran left to the bathrooms, "INO! I DON'T WANT ANY OF THAT CRAP ON MY FACE!"

Ino banged on the bathroom door, "It's not crap! It'll actually make you look good! Now hurry and get out of here before I have to drag you out!"

Sakura and Hinata watched as the events took place in their home. Ino angrily kicked the door as hard as she could which caused the hinges to break. There revealed a terrified Tenten in her strapless bra and underwear and a bit of blush on her right where Ino tried to put some on.

Ino grabbed Tenten by her hair, "Owowowowowowow! Ino let go!"

"Sakura, Hinata! Go get the rope!"

"Oh no."

Five Minutes Later

Tenten was tied down in a chair where is was always put when she refused to do something.

Ino did her make up as Sakura and Hinata put light curls in her hair.

Sakura, Hinata, and Ino looked gorgeous in their hair and make up. Everyone had dark eyeliner with a bit of a smoky look with pink lips. Ino's signature.

The girls finally finished on Tenten and stood back and smiled.

Her hair had been messily curled down and her bangs also messily came down. The mascara really did make her eyes pop.

Tenten stared at the hand mirror, "It looks.. good..."

"Wait what was that?" Ino said sarcastically, "What did you say?"

"I said it looks good.."

"What?"

"I SAID IT LOOKS REALLY FREAKIN' AMAZING! HAPPY?" A smug smile came on Ino's face.

Sakura's hair had a side part and her layers shaped her face perfectly.

Hinata Kept her normal straight bangs but had slightly curlier hair than Tenten.

Ino's hair was simple and clean. Her hair was pulled into a tight, high pony tail. (A/N: The pictures are on my profile! Oh and I switched Ino's dress because it didn't match her hairstyle.)

"Hey, Hinata? Can you zip me up?" Sakura had trouble reaching her back.

Hinata zipped up Sakura's zipper. Then a little snap was heard.

"Omigosh, Sakura! I'm so sorry! The zipper wasn't going up so it-it broke.."

"IT WHAT!" Sakura ran to the bathroom to see how bad it was. The zipper had gone up the bump of her butt and stopped. If you were directly behind her, you'd be able to see the whole thing.

Ino looked over at Sakura, "It actually looks pretty sexy like that. I mean your whole back is practically showing."

"WHAT!" Sakura took another look.

"Well you don't have time anyways. Our dates should be here any minute." Tenten hastily put on her jewelry.

"Tenten's right, we have to get going," Ino slipped on her heels."

DINGDONGDINGDONGDINGDONGDINGDONGDINGDONGDINGDONGDINGDONGDINGDONGDINGDONGDINGDONGDINGDONGDINGDONGDINGDONGDINGDONG

Tenten looked through the peep hole, "Quite a charmer you have there, Hinata. I guess he doesn't know after the tenth ring, you're suppose to stop."

The girls walked outside and saw the four most beautiful cars outside with the passenger seats opened and their corresponding dates standing there.

"See ya guys," Ino stumbled on her heels as she tried to run over to Shikamaru.

Tenten sighed and walked over to Neji. She wasn't used to these damn heels and since Ino picked them out, they were super high.

As she was about to step into the car, Neji stopped her.

"Sorry, I'm suppose to be waiting for another girl. She's kinda short and has a really bad temper."

"Haha, very funny, Hyuuga," Tenten rolled her eyes as Neji smirked.

Neji eyed her up and down, "You look beautiful." Then he eyed her dress where the slit was which earned him a whack on the head with her clutch.

"Ouch," He rubbed his head.

While he started up the car she stared at Neji. He had a very sharp black blazer with a matching black tie. His slacks were pressed formally and his white collared shirt stuck to his body so you could see the nice body he had.

Damn he's sexy. Oh wait did I just say that? Tenten shook her head.

Neji chuckled as he noticed Tenten staring at him.

"Soo...," Tenten filled the silence, "Where exactly is this event?"

"The Hyuuga Manor." Neji replied bluntly.

"So like your house?" Tenten questioned.

"No," Neji made a turn, "I don't live there."

Silence filled the car for the next two minutes. What happened next totally caught them off guard.

BANG

A gunshot hit the back window of the car.

"Shit!" Neji swerved the car slightly and then drove straight again, "Tenten, duck!"

Tenten was so shocked it took her a while to respond. She looked at the side mirror to see a motorcycle speeding up to the passenger side of the car. She knew if she ducked she'd leave Neji too vulnerable for a critical hit, since it seemed that they were after him.

"Open the compartment and hand me the gun," Neji ordered.

Tenten stared wide-eyed at him. He kept a gun in his car? She did as she was told and gave it to him. She was never trained to fight while on a car and still trying to keep her fake identity in tact.

The window on Tenten's side shattered and she ducked as Neji aimed the gun at the biker. He shot his wheels and the biker fell to the right.

The motorcycle rammed into the car and knocked it off the road.

After the car had settled down, Tenten caught a glimpse of the biker, "I think he's dead." She looked back at Neji who was bleeding on his forehead and had a bruised cheek with a busted lip. His head hit the side of the car, but he was conscious thankfully.

"God, sorry, Tenten," Neji spat out blood out the window, "We need to clean up. I don't want to worry anyone about this."

"Shouldn't we take you to the hospital? I mean you could be internally bleeding!" Tenten grabbed her phone but Neji grasped her hand.

"No. We can't do that-"

"Why!"

"We just... can't"

Tenten sighed, "Fine, get out of the car."

"What?"

"I said get out of the car so I can fix you and make you look presentable." Tenten mummbled, "Men are so confusing."

She dusted off his suit and fixed his tie. She got a brush out of her clutch and retied Neji's hair.

She got out her wipes (meant for make up) and used it to clean the blood off his face which revealed a small cut. She took out ointment out of her clutch.

Neji raised an eyebrow, "You carry ointment with you?"

"Yes, I do," Tenten said sharply, "And good thing I did!"

She applied the ointment onto his cut and lip. He winced in the pain.

She got out her compact and used power to cover up the bruise on his face.

"There, now lets go."


At the Hyuuga Manor

"Tenten! What took you so long?" Sakura ran over to Tenten and gave her a hug.

"Well, we uh," She gave a look at Neji who in return gave her a warning look, "got caught up in some traffic. We took a different route thinking it would be faster."

"Oh we were so worried that you guys were kidnapped or something!" Ino gave Tenten a hug.

"Oh, haha, no. Um, where's Hinata?" Tenten looked for the cute white-eyed girl.

"See and Naruto went out to the garden," Ino raised her eyebrows and nudged Tenten.

"Oh." Tenten had too much on her mind to get what Ino was suggesting. She shot a confused look at Neji.

"Tenten?" Neji spoke softly, "Can I see you at the hallway for a moment?"

Without another word, Tenten followed Neji out of the double French doors.

"Okay, listen. I know I have some explaining to do-"

"Damn right you do! What are you part of a gang leader? Messed with the wrong people? On a hit list? What is the reason some guy just tried to kill you ten minutes ago?"

"Well, some people are after us," Neji sighed, "because of our position and power over many, many things. That's all I can say for now."

"Neji, a three year old could've guessed that. Spit it out Neji, what is it? Drugs? Black market?" Tenten was too angry to think rationally.

"No, I can't say anything." Neji shook his head.

"Fine then," Tenten stormed through the double French doors back to the dance.

She looked around for Sakura and Ino. She walked through the middle of people dancing.

"Sorry," she muttered to people she would hit.

"May I take this dance?" Tenten turned around to see if someone was talking to her. I guy with sleek black hair and grey eyes was in a bowing position with his hands outstretched. He had a regular, long sleeved collar shirt that was unbuttoned and some black slacks.

Tenten looked out to see if Neji was anywhere. Seeing no trace of him, she smiled at the guy, "Sure."


Meanwhile... At the Garden

"Hinata, you look really pretty, today. Not that you don't always look pretty because you do, but today you look extraordinarily pretty. But you always do, you're beautiful. I mean, do you want to start walking?" Naruto was never good at smooth talking.

Hinata giggled, "Sure, I'd love to."

They walked quietly with the company of one another for quite a while.

"The thing I love about the Hyuuga Mansion," Naruto opened a gate of the opposite side of the garden, "is because it's so big and beautiful."

There was a lake beyond the gate. The waters sparkled from the light of the moon.

"So are you going to come on?"

Hinata snapped out of her gaze to see Naruto untying a boat. He held up his hand. Hinata took it and he helped her onto the boat.

"Many people don't know about this lake. The hedges are so high they cover it," Naruto smiled at Hinata. She blushed. Hinata looked around. "Well what do you think? You haven't said anything since we came here and I'm not sure if you like it aha."

"No! I love it!" Hinata set her hands ontop of Naruto's, "It's the sweetest thing someone has ever done for me."


With Sakura and Sasuke

Sakura insisted that Sasuke and her should tour the mansion. She made note of the internal structure.

They were looking through the third floor, Sasuke following tiredly around. She saw huge gold-decked double doors.

"Can we go in there?" Sakura asked pointing at the doors. Sasuke shrugged.

She slowly pushed the doors opened. It was a quiant bedroom. But that wasn't what caught her attention. There was a beautiful balcony that looked over the garden.

"Sasuke! Come on, look at this!" Sakura ran tot eh edge of the balcony and pushed her hands on her railing and leaned back. "Isn't this so beautiful?"

"Yeah it is," Sasuke muttered looking at Sakura. She looked away to cover her blush.

She put on hand on her chin. She felt Sasuke come up behind her.

His hand traced her bare back. He followed her spine down to where the zipper stop which was extremely low. And then he traced his hands back up.

meowmeowmeow...meowmeowmeow...meowmeowmeow

"Wait," Sakura pushed away Sasuke's hand, "Do you hear that?"

meowmeow

Sakura looked around until she spotted the cat in a tree hanging over the balcony.

"Awwww!" Sakura stared at it. It's big blue eyes stared back.

"Cch, it's just a cat. You girls..." Sasuke pulled Sakura away but she resisted.

"Sasuke, hoist me up to the tree!"

"What!"

"I said hoist me up!" Sakura made a puppy face to Sasuke, "Please?"

Sasuke put his hands to her hip and pushed her up. She rested her heels on the railing. Thinking it was safe, Sasuke let go.

"No, Sasuke! Grab me!" But it was too late. Sakura had lost her balance and started falling. She grabbed the railing and held on. Her arm scraped.

"Hold on!" Sasuke ran down until he was directly below her. "Let go, Sakura!"

"What! Hell no!" Sakura held on tighter.

Ino came running out, "What's wrong! Oh," she looked at Sakura and smiled evily, "Well, I hope everything's okay. See ya!"

"Ino!" Sakura yelled but still held on.

"Would you let go if I told you I could see your thong at this angle?" Sasuke smirked. Sakura gasped and let go. Sasuke caught her bridal style with on knee to the ground.

"You're such a perv," Sakura muttered


With Ino and Shikamaru

Ino and Shikamaru had attacted many people.

Ino's sexy dress had made her popular with a lot of guys at the dance, and well, Shikamaru was well known.

Ino had been angry he hadn't payed any attention to her or more specifically, he hadn't asked her to dance. She was itching in her heels to go out where all the beautiful figures were gracefully moving with their partners.

She tried everything to get Shikamaru's attention. She did the 'trip in front of you so you'll catch me' but he wasn't looking.

She stormed out the room to see Sakura hanging and Sasuke trying to catch her.

"What's wrong! Oh," Yeah, pay back for the elevator Ino thought evily, "Well, I hope everything's okay. See ya!" And with that Ino ran back in.

BAM!

Shikamaru caught Ino's wrist before she could fall backwards from the impact of them two clashing.

"Watch where you're going!" she snapped.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Temperamental. Troublesome.." he muttered.

"Wow, first thing you've said to me all day!" Ino flew her hands up exasperated.

"Shika-kunnnnn," a little slut came in a short dress tugging on Shikamaru's sleeves, "Let's go somewhere more private." She winked.

She started to walk away but turned back and faced him, "You know, all I've wanted to do all night was dance in there with you, but I can see you're too busy to do even that for me." Tears welled up in her eyes, but she was too proud to show them. No one, and I mean no one rejects Ino like that.

Shikamaru smirked, "Do you want to dance?"

"Yeah! Well you and your-wait, what?" Ino was taken back by what he had just said. She wasn't sure if he heard him clearly.

"Do you want to dance with me?" Shikamaru annunciated every syllable. She shook the slut off his arm and pulled Ino by the waist.

She willingly put her arms on his shoulders. She smiled


Tenten

Tenten was swooped away by this guy's dancing skills. He dipped her like a pro.

At one moment he tried to kiss her, but Tenten moved her head away, "Sorry, don't kiss on a first date"

"So this is a date?" The guy winked.

"Sorry, I meant dance," Tenten smiled apologetically. He twirled her four time and she felt his hand leave and another on grabbed her's.

"I'll take it from here," Neji growled at the man.

The guy swiftly moved and kissed Tenten's hand. "The name's Ren, if you ever need me, my lady." And with that he walked away with a smirk on his face.

Neji continued to dance with Tenten, and as much as she didn't want to say it, he was a much better dancer than Ren.

"I'm sorry," Neji whispered in her ear, "that I had to put you through that."

"And I'm sorry you can't tell me," Tenten looked cross.

"Strictly classified." Neji said like one of those generic voices.

"Don't you trust me?" Tenten went closer to Neji. Her voice came out seductive and by no means did she do that on purpose.

"I don't know you," Neji looked her straight in the eye.

"Well," Tenten said lowly, "we can know each other tonight. Hi, my name is Tenten. I'm 19 years old. I was a juvenile delinquent was I was young. Had no parents or any known living relatives. I was saved by a woman who I adore dearly now. Everyone doubted that I would finish high school, but I did and had one of the top grades in senior year. And now I work at the Hyuuga Corporate. And you are?"
