I don't own Naruto
And school is almost back and this is way overdue already so… yeah
Here you go…
Chapter 4:
Recap
"Sure, I guess I could come… I still have to check with Sasuke though." She said and Ringo's ears perked up… even he could tell just by the sound of his name, he was way better than Naruto… judging just by their name…
"Don't bother, Sasuke's coming. He actually allowed me to not come by and was planning to cancel all the meetings he scheduled tomorrow and reschedule them again." Naruto said, "So I'm sure he's fine with you not going to work tomorrow." Hinata was about to kiss him again, until Ringo came in between them and planted his feet there. The two adults stared at him, while he pretended not to notice their stares at him…
They reached the office and it was only him and Hinata. Hinata opened the door and he was just amazed on how cool and dark and mysterious the office was. He looked straight up at him and saw a man that was very busy shuffling papers around and typing in his laptop. He only looked up once his aunt had finally approached him and handed him his schedule for the day and they somehow traded some conversations and papers…
Ringo turned off the flash in his camera and took a picture of their interaction… for the rest of the day…
They were now headed back home and Ringo just kept on staring at the pictures he got of his aunt and Sasuke. He purposely stayed behind, not because he wanted to give them some alone time, but because he compared the picture with them. Sure enough they looked happy together… but something's definitely missing… besides, he might be biased on his opinions; however, he looked back at the picture in his camera…
He knew if they were together together then probably… this picture would be much more complete than this scene he is seeing right now in front of him…
End of recap
He was still looking at his camera when Hinata noticed him lagging behind them. She came to a stop and decided to wait for him, and when he finally caught up with her, she tried to take a sneak peak over at the camera he's been fiddling with ever since he got there. However, she wasn't able to sneak a peek since she was too tall and his head was covering the screen, and he immediately snapped his head up when he noticed her staring and quickly hid the camera away…
She tilted her head in confusion and narrowed her eyes at him…
"Ringo?" she called out, "What was that about?"
"N-nothing." He stammered and she gave him a knowing look…
"If it's nothing why hide it?"
"Because, I don't want you to look at it yet, I'm not happy with them." He pouted and she sighed…
"I'm sure you took good pictures."
"It's not how I took them that make me unsatisfied," he said and placed the camera out of her reach, which was quite pointless since she was taller, "It's the content." He finished and she raised her eyebrows, they came to Naruto's car, and he unlocked it and opened the door for Hinata to get in. she slid inside and Ringo opened the back door and strapped himself in…
Okay, he had to give it to Naruto; he was quite a gentleman despite his looks, but he was still convinced he wasn't the right man for his aunt. He scanned his pictures once more and just kept on scrolling and inspecting the pictures he took. It wasn't long before they finally reached their house, and Ringo sprang out of the back seat and quickly went inside the house to begin his full assessment and transfer the files to his laptop…
Hinata had bid goodbye to Naruto and followed her nephew in the house. Neji had asked her if she could watch over Ringo while they were away for the day and she had agreed. She placed her things down on the counter and began to make dinner, until her phone rang…
"Hyuga Hinata speaking." She answered and then heard a laughing in the background…
"My, my neesan," Hanabi said on the other line, "The Uchiha's been rubbing off on you and his formalities." She commented, and Hinata just rolled her eyes…
"Why'd you call Hana-chan?" she asked and she could feel Hanabi pout…
"Aw… and here I thought you'd miss me when I'm gone." She replied…
"What do you mean 'when I'm gone'?"
"Oh, you know… I'll be away for a while, so have fun with the little rascal. I'll be gone for a month." She replied and hung up and the line went dead. Hinata just stared at her phone in disbelief and just sighed…
"Was that Hanabi?" Ringo suddenly asked and made Hinata abruptly turn around for being startled. She breathed a sigh of relief and just nodded in response before she started to continue her cooking…
"What did she want?"
"She just called me to say she'll be gone for a month." She replied as she still continued to shop some vegetables…
"Oh, can I pick your outfit?" he asked excitedly, and she turned around in confusion…
"Aren't you suppose to pick your own instead?" she asked and he just shrugged…
"Come on Hina-bachan, you didn't let me pick your boyfriend then at least let me pick what you're wearing." He whined and pouted at her. She just sighed in defeat and then just agreed with him. There was no point in trying to talk him out of it anyway. Once he's had his eyes set on something, he'll do whatever to make sure he gets it…
'Sigh… kids.' Hinata thought…

Dinner was already finished and Hinata had told him to go and have his rest already for tomorrow which he had happily agreed to. He reached his room and locked it. He then opened his bag and pulled out some new batteries and memory cards. His monitor beeped and he inwardly groaned. Who could be sending him something?
He grudgingly sat on his chair and clicked his e-mail open…
It was from Hanabi…
He groaned and just dropped his head on the table…
'This better not get me into any trouble.' He thought and just opened and read the e-mail…

He just got off from work earlier and had just finished rescheduling all of his appointments for tomorrow. Naruto had specifically requested for a meeting since there was some last adjustments needed for the party. And apparently, they still don't have a place for it, so he only growled under his breath in his frustration…
He was currently in his house's gym and he was currently practicing his punches. He still had to work out every once in a while though and lately he hadn't been getting much time, so this was the only time he could, better use it then than waste it. After an hour or so of working out, he went to take a shower, Naruto and the others would be here soon and he did not want to meet the others looking all sweaty and smelling so stinky…
After he took a bath and put on some comfortable clothes, the doorbell had rung and he answered the door, well, there seemed to be a little company than expected though. The only ones there were Kiba and his dog Akamaru, Naruto and Shikamaru… where were the others?
"Just you?" he asked with both eyebrows raised and the three of them nodded…
"Shino's handling the decorations." Kiba said
"Sai's taking care of the gifts." Shikamaru stated
"What about Neji?" he asked
"He's handling the guest list." Naruto replied
"And what else do we have to meet about again?" Sasuke asked somehow wishing that at least they finally found a place. The party was tomorrow and if they were going to have it postponed then it would be so troublesome…
"I thought Naruto already told you we'd be meeting here about the place?" Kiba said and Sasuke shrugged…
"Well, I was at least hoping you guys already found a venue for it. What are the others in for anyway?"
"Oh, they're handling the cooking and everything for the big surprise."
"So where will we celebrate?" Naruto asked
"An open space I hope." Shikamaru suggested
"Why?" Sasuke asked him
"To see the clouds or even the stars at night." Shikamaru said looking up the glass ceiling again
"I don't know about you guys but anywhere's better as long as dogs are allowed." Kiba said as he patted Akamaru on the head, and he barked in agreement…
This left them thinking…
Shikamaru staring at the clouds…Kiba looking at Akamaru and Akamaru staring back at him…Sasuke massaging his temples…And Naruto, looking from Shikamaru to Kiba to Sasuke and the living room and all over again with his eyes turning faster and faster every time he repeated this, his mind formulating a place and somehow… he got it!
"I think I know just the place!" Naruto said standing up; everyone looked at him in disbelief that he actually thought of a place…
"Where?" Shikamaru asked, but Naruto didn't answered, instead he, looked towards his best friend, and rolled his eyes around the place with a grin plastered on his face with his hands open wide on his sides… everyone got the message
"No. Not a chance."

The two girls had been waiting for Hinata for quite some time now, since she was the expert in cooking and they already got all the decorations for the party. After a few minutes, a car honked and they opened the door to reveal Hinata beaming at the both of them and holding up grocery bags…
Yep, it was strange that Ino, Hinata and Sakura had known each other. Considering that they actually know Sasuke too, but they never really thought of her much around Sasuke, but now it was totally different. She was after all, his secretary, so she's most likely the female that gets to spend time with him a lot. They've been asking her questions about Sasuke nonstop ever since she had gotten the job, and apparently, she just wished they would stop asking…
She only met Sasuke now, and she wasn't able to get that much information about him, except in what type of coffee he likes, the rest she just heard as a slip of tongue from the both of them. Sometimes she just swears that the both of them are walking "Sasuke" encyclopedia…
They stayed up late preparing for the party, and had to travel back and forth to Sasuke's residence to put up the decorations. It had been her first time there and she admits… the place was huge. And for a guy, it sure was pretty organized and clean. Maybe he has OCD… but of course, that was only an assumption…
Once she reached back to her house, she dropped on the bed and immediately fell asleep…
Her entire day had been so exhausting…

He ran back and forth around his room, throwing his blankets, pillows, clothes and many more. The reason he was doing this was because he couldn't find his things, he was cursing her on such a task assigned to him. She knew he was only a kid, no less than eight and yet she tasked him on something older ones must handle, especially matchmakers. It was already the day of the party, and yet he couldn't seem to find it where he usually leaves it…
'Older ones huh? Ha! I know just what to do! No, I think hiring matchmakers would do. But I don't have money to hire them. Humph, fine, whatever anyways, but they better do it properly though.' he thought to himself. As he texted three different persons, he resumed bombarding his room again. As he looked around his room, he could see the bed misplaced and its covers ripped off of it. Pillow and clothes on the floor, toy trunk open and cabinet disorganized. Just as he decided to clean up his enormous mess on his room, his door opened…
"Ringo dear, what's all the noise…WHAT HAPPENED HERE?" his mother, who was wearing a red duster with sakura petals dancing all over it as a design, big, brown wide eyes, hair in one, lovely yet messy bun, exclaimed when she opened the door and saw the mess in his room… it looked like a storm had just passed by it…
"I was just looking for my camera, notebook, pen, album and a bag to fit them all, maybe also an envelope. Do you know where they are kaasan?" he asked her, looking very worried and she sighed…
"What do you need those things for?" she asked slowly getting through the mess near the door
"For the party today, did you happen to see it?" he asked, "I was really hoping I'd get some awesome shots tonight." He said and started to pick up some clothes and folded them neatly. TenTen thought for a moment…
"Yes, I did. But if you were looking for them you didn't have to make a storm go through your room! You shouldn't have gone through lengths for those things. You would do that for us right, Ringo?" she asked him holding him close checking if he was okay, and Ringo just rolled his eyes and nodded his eyes…
"Of course I would but-" he was cut-off when she held up her hand and continued…
"I know, I know, they're important to you. Sorry, I forgot. Have you tried your activity room?"
"No, not yet, why- oh, yes, that's right, now I remember. Thanks mom!" he kissed her on her cheek and ran out of his room, but his mom added…
"Hey, clean up your room young man!" and she went out of her son's room, as she walked down the stairs, she could see her husband inside his office as she entered, she could see his very long, cared hair in a long ponytail; wearing a white polo and black formal pants. His hands typing fast on the keyboard, and relaxed white eyes on the computer screen…
"Hey honey, how are you doing with the guest list?" she asked as she wrapped her arms around his broad back and rested her chin above his right shoulder…
"I'm doing fine with the guest list, ten." He said as he looked at her brown beautiful eyes, and kissed her on the lips.
"Anyway, have you told the other girls what you'll be doing?" he asked her, pulling away from the kiss
"Yes, I did and I am still helping Ringo." She answered
"What can I do to help you guys?" he asked
"You've got enough tasks in your hands, Neji. We can handle this." She said and gave him one last kiss on the cheeks and went out of the office…
"Temari's arriving later though, should we invite her?" he asked her and she thought for a moment…
"Sure, it wouldn't hurt to right?" she smiled and pecked his cheeks; "I'll go and check on Ringo now."

Everyone was busy and prepared and did many other things for that day. They went to the Uchiha Compound, and finished everything that hasn't been done yet. Everyone wanted to be early and as they waited for all the other guests to arrive at the place. Kakashi and the others were guarding the place telling the neighbors and reminding them that there will be a surprise party so they are invited but just not let any word out that there will be a party in the Uchiha compound.
If you were going to look at the Uchiha compound you could see that a lot of people were getting inside but no one was going out everything that is happening was kept inside. The only ones that could go out were the ex-teachers, as they kept a look out perch for Lee's green car.
If you are wondering where Lee is, well here he is…
Everyone that passed by would look at the airport. Not because there were waiting for someone, or even hoping to ride on a plane. No, it was because they would think if it's a pole, or a statue or even a guard of the airport.
He was standing still. Very still than a very old and big tree, eyes roaming around looking for someone, wearing a green tux, orange formal pants and orange hat. Everyone that would look at his big, black round eyes would run away from him even two meters away. Yet, he didn't mind. It was because he had only one thing going on his mind…
'Wait for Chouji and not utter a single word and bring him directly to the Uchiha compound.' He repeated this on his mind over and over again, until moments passed and he still didn't move…
Since Chouji, who was an Akimichi, didn't know that he was expected, got off the plane wearing a black tuxedo, with a black ribbon tied on his neck, a napkin on his breast pocket, bringing a black suitcase, his long, orange brown hair sticking everywhere and hanging on his back just as he was about to call a taxi, he saw one green fellow near the entrance, as he looked more closely at him. And then he knew, it was Rock Lee, he then approached him and when Lee's eyes stopped upon him, he walked directly at him grabbed him and pushed him inside a green car, that he guessed was his.
As Lee drove the car, Chouji asked a lot of questions yet he uttered not a single word, brought him directly to a place that Chouji couldn't see properly since there were no lights. He thought for a while that Lee was out of his mind and that the place was abandoned. Lee grabbed him by the collar pulled him out of the car, fixed his clothes and gestured him to come inside with a grin printed on his face.
Lee's mission was complete he did it successfully. He did not utter a single word. He waited for Chouji and brought him directly to the Uchiha Compound. Yes, he did it and had successfully done it, but…he took it too literally.
Well… I wasn't able to really rewrite it fully, but I only edited some parts, so there are a bit of similarities… anyway, do watch out for the next time I'll rewrote and edit things…
I'm almost done with this!
Do bear with me people…
I'm typing faster than I could…
School is right around the corner, so I'll be a bit busier…
