Chapter 4

2 weeks later, the test scores from Tsunade's big test were up. Some were unsatisfied with what they got, but most were happy. "Pretty good, 89" Gaara said. "100, as usual" said a very confident Sakura. Mostly all of the rookie 9 got good scores except for one. "45!!!!" shouted Naruto. "I can't believe I failed another fucking test!" Hinata was watching him silently from a corner. "Poor Naruto. I think he's the only one of us who failed." she thought. She went over to the board, and saw that she had gotten a 93 on her test. She left to her first hour, and then everyone heard a loud, happy scream. "WHOOOOOO!!!!! 95! FUCKING SWEET!" Everyone looked strangely at Ten Ten when she screamed. She got a little embarassed, then Kiba and Ino came up hand-in-hand. "What are you so happy about?" asked Ino. "My parents said that if I got over 90 on the test, I could have a party!" "Oh my god, this is gonna be so awesome." said Ino. "Hold on, let me see what I got real quick." She went over to the board, and put her finger on her name. " 98, awesome." Ino said. "Congrats babe." said Kiba as he put his arm around her. " Well, I guess it's your turn Kiba." said Ten Ten. Kiba took a deep breath, and walked over to the results board. He turned back around to Ten Ten and Ino. "Pray for me." he said. Ino and Ten Ten crossed their fingers, and gave warm smiles to him. He walked over, and instantly found his name on the board. Next to it was a big fat 88. Kiba smiled since he got a good score, but put on an angry face so he could mess with the girls' heads. He turned around and walked over to Ino and Ten Ten. " Oh fuck, what did you get." Kiba looked at Ino, and slowly smiled. "88!" Ino smiled, and hugged him. "Oh, my god. Don't do that again you jackass!" She playfully hit him in the arm, and he pulled her into a kiss. Ten Ten walked over to them, and pulled them apart. "Remember love birds, we're in school" "Right." Kiba and Ino said together. All 3 of them laughed. "Hey Ino, can you come by my house tonight to help me plan my party?" asked Ten Ten. "Of course." replied Ino. "Okay, I'll see ya there then." said Ten Ten. She started to walk away until a thought came into Ino's head. "Hey Ten Ten!". Ten Ten stopped walking, and turned around curiously. "Huh?" "Do you mind if I bring Hinata with me?" asked Ino. "Naw, bring her along. Be there by 8." " All righty then." said Ino. Ten Ten walked away, and Ino and Kiba went to first hour.

The last bell rung, and Ino went to her locker. She got all her homework and everything together, and Kiba came up. "Hey." said Kiba. Ino jumped a little bit, since she didn't know he was there. "Oh my god! Don't do that, you scared the shit out of me." "Oh, sorry, my bad. So... you doin anything Saturday night?" asked Kiba. Ino looked at him suspiciously. "No... why?" "Well... I was thinkin maybe me and you could..." Ino slapped him on the arm. " Ow, what was that for?!" asked Kiba. "For even suggesting that we..." "Go out for some ramen?" asked Kiba. Ino looked at him with a confused look. " What are you talking about?" she asked. " I was gonna ask if you wanted to go out for some ramen, or something like that on Saturday." Kiba said still holding his arm. " Oh.. uh, sure then." replied Ino. She kissed him on the cheek, shut her locker, and started to walk off. "Ino!" shouted Kiba. Ino turned around, and walked to Kiba. " What?" " I forgot to ask you. What did you think I wanted to do with you?" asked Kiba. Ino started to blush a little. " Oh... uh.. nothing, nothing." she replied. She laughed nervously, and walked away. When she got outside, she started to look for Hinata. She saw her walking home, and ran to her. Hinata heard heavy breathing from behind her, and turned around. She saw Ino with her hands on her knees. " W... wait, please." said Ino, out of breath. Hinata started to laugh a little, and Ino finally caught up. She put her hands on her knees, and took a few short breaths. Hinata chuckled a little more, and they started walking again. "You know, you walk way too fast." said Ino. Hinata laughed a little bit. "I've been told." They walked for about a minute and a half without talking, until Ino finally decided to ask Hinata about going over to Ten Ten's. "Hey Hinata, you got anything planned later?" asked Ino. Hinata had to think for a minute. "Uh.. no, why?" she asked. " I told Ten Ten that I was gonna go over her house to help her plan a party, she said you could come if you wanted." "Oh, okay. Thanks for the invite." replied Hinata. Ino smiled at her, but kept walking. "No prob. Okay, now we need to be there by eight, so let me go get my stuff first, then we'll go to your place. That allright?" " Yeah sure." replied Hinata. They walked over to Ino's house, Ino put her key in the door, and they walked in. " Mom, dad! I'm home!" " Ino, honey come in the kitchen real quick." shouted her mother from the kitchen.

Ino started to walk to the kitchen, but turned and realized Hinata was still standing at the door. "Come on, she'll want to meet you." said Ino. Hinata nervously followed Ino until they got to the kitchen. Ino's mom was washing dishes, but turned around when she heard footsteps in the kitchen. She smiled when she saw Ino and Hinata. " Hi honey, who's your friend?" asked Mrs. Yamanaka. "Mom, this is Hinata. She's apart of the rookie nine with me." stated Ino. Mrs. Yamanaka gave a warm smile to Hinata. "Hi Hinata, how are you today?" "Um.. good Mrs. Yamanaka." said Hinata. She smiled back, and Mrs. Yamanaka turned to Ino. " I have a favor to ask you, and I really hope you can do this for me." " You want me to drop grandma's gift off at the post office?" asked Ino. Mrs. Yamanaka looked relieved. " Please? I have too much on my hands right now, and I really can't do it. I'm sorry to push this on you so late." she said. " No problem, I was going past there anyways, I'm going over Ten Ten's." said Ino. Mrs. Yamanaka snapped her fingers. " I knew you came home early for some reason. You came to get some clothes?" " Yeah." said Ino. She turned to Hinata, who was now looking at the Yamanaka's glass bird collection. Ino tapped her on the shoulder, and Hinata turned around. " I'll be upstairs getting my stuff. You can wait in the living room if you want, I'll only be about 2 minutes." said Ino. Hinata nodded, and sat on the leather couch in the living room. Ino went upstairs, and came back down in about 2 minutes with a small bag in hand. " Okay, we can go as soon as I get the gift from my mom." said Ino. She walked into the kitchen and saw the gift on the counter. She grabbed it, and walked out of the kitchen. " Okay, we can go now." said Ino. Hinata got up from the couch, and walked out of door, Ino said bye to her mom before she walked out of the door. On the way to Hinata's house, Ino dropped off the gift, and they got to Hinata's 2 minutes later. Hinata put her key in, and opened the door. The house seemed empty, but Hinata was sure Kurenai was home. " Kurenai-sensei, I'm home." shouted Hinata. Ino was amazed at all the furniture in the house. " Wow, this is amazing" she said in awe. Hinata was still walking around to find Kurenai. " Thanks, I picked out most of the furniture myself." she stated. " Very nice taste." Ino said as she was looking at the white fur couch. Hinata walked back over to Ino and still hadn't seen Kurenai. " Well, I guess she's not here. I'll go get my stuff. Make yourself at home." Hinata walked up the stairs and went to her room. Ino walked around for a bit and decided to sit on the couch.

The tv was on the japanese version of Deal or No Deal, and the woman still had to open 3 cases with the million dollars still in play. Ino kept on watching until she heard footsteps coming from behind her. She saw someone come out with a laundry basket in hand, but the clothes were covering their face. The person put down the basket, and Ino saw that it was Kurenai. Kurenai wiped some sweat off her forehead, and was startled when she saw Ino. She had to catch her breath for a minute, but finally spoke. " Oh, you scared the shit out of me." said Kurenai. " Oh, sorry, I'm waiting on Hinata." said Ino. Kurenai laughed a little, and sat on the couch with Ino. " It's no problem. So where are you guys going?" she asked. " Over to Ten Ten's. We're helping her plan a party." " Oh, that should be fun." said Kurenai. They were silent for a moment, until Kurenai turned over to Ino. " Ino, I have something I want to say to you." Ino sat there and waited for Kurenai to continue. " Ino.. I want to thank you so much." " For what?" asked Ino. " Being a friend to Hinata. She never really got out much since she started living with me. All this time, I thought she was still she didn't accept me, but I guess all she needed was a good friend. So.. thanks, and I hope you guys stay close friends." said Kurenai with a warm smile. Ino smiled back. " No problem, Hinata is really cool. I'm actually shocked she doesn't have tons of friends." said Ino. " I think her shyness really gets in the way of her social life." replied Kurenai. On that note, Hinata came downstairs with a small bag in hand. She went into the living room, and was greeted by Kurenai. " Hi Hinata, how are you?" " Good. Ino, don't we have to go now?" asked Hinata. " What time is it?" she asked. " It's 7:45." said Kurenai. " Oh, we gotta go. Bye Kurenai." said Ino. " Bye girls, have fun." said Kurenai while she waved good-bye. The girls left the house, and Kurenai smiled. " It's a start, but I think Hinata is overcoming her shyness." she thought to herself. Ino and Hinata got to Ten Ten's house in 15 minutes. " Wow, her house is huge." said Hinata. " I know, I think it got bigger from the last time I was over here." said Ino.

Ino rung the door bell, and Ten Ten answered quickly. " Hey guys, your just on time. Let's go, we have a lot to plan, and so little time." she led them up to her room, and opened the door. The inside was really big with a huge pink japanese dragon spreading across, and she had 3 sleeping bags on the floor. " Ya like?" she asked the two. " Yeah." they replied together. Ten Ten walked over to one of the sleeping bags, and so did Ino and Hinata. " Okay, let's get started." said Ten Ten. " Okay, so what's the first thing we gotta do?" asked Ino. " We have to decide where the party's gonna be." said Ten Ten. " Well, duh, why not Sayoka Shi?" said Ino. Ten Ten laughed a little. " Oh yeah, I forgot. Why didn't I think of that sooner? Okay, next is the guest list. Of course you and Kiba are coming. I've got Hinata down already, and I got Rock Lee, Neji, Gaara, Kankuro, Chouji, Shikamaru, and..." Ten Ten stopped and looked at Ino. Ino realized this. " What?" asked Ino. Ten Ten gave a nervous look. " I invited Sasuke and Sakura." " Ten Ten!" " Sorry, I forgot, plus I thought you wouldn't mind since you're with Kiba now." said Ten Ten. Ino sighed. " Fine, it's okay with me." Ten Ten smiled. " Allright." She stopped to think for a minute. " Why does it seem like I'm forgetting someone?" she asked. She kept on thinking until Hinata tapped her on the shoulder. " What... about... Naruto?" Hinata said quickly. Ten Ten looked at the list, and realized she had forgotten Naruto. " Oh yeah. Thanks Hinata." said Ten Ten. Hinata started to smile and blush as Ten Ten put Naruto's name on the list. The girls planned her party for another hour, and they were finally done. " Okay girls. I think this is gonna be a party, that Konoha will never forget." Ten Ten said smiling.
