Chapter 4

"Hey, Hinata-chan, do you part one of the plan is a success?" Naruto asked while looking both at Ino and Shikamaru.

"Of course, Naruto-kun! Isn't it obvious?!" Hinata replied.

"Hehe… I guess… Hey, it's our shift now… we should go…" he said while tugging Hinata on the sleeve of her shirt.

"No, wait, Naruto-kun! We'll ruin the moment!" she hissed.

"bu—"

"It's okay guys! You can come out now!" Naruto and Hinata overheard Ino shouted.

"Hehe… sorry!" Hinata apologized while dragging a lumped-headed Naruto behind.

"Troublesome… Hinata can really be an aggressive one sometimes…" Shikamaru muttered while looking at Hinata.

"Haha… you haven't seen the half of it…" Ino replied.

"Sorry guys! We kinda ruined your precious moment there…" Hinata apologized once more.

"It's okay, Hinata-chan!" Ino stood up and ran to Hinata, hugging her tightly.

"Thank you, Hinata-chan! I knew I can always count on you…" Ino whispered to her.

"No problem, Ino-chan! You're one of my best friends after all…" Hinata replied while hugging her back. She then looked at Naruto and Shikamaru's direction. It seems like Naruto was congratulating his friend while Shikamaru was saying his troublesome gratitude. Ino then noticed something… uh… bizarre about Hinata.

"Why do I get the feeling that you and Naruto were trying to get us all together?!..." Ino said while eyeing at her.

"N-no… Uh… i-it's uh-uhh…" Obviously, Ino was right and Hinata couldn't deny it anymore.

"Hinata-chan…."

"Okay! Fine, you're right. But I wasn't really uh..um…"

"It's okay Hinata-chan… Since you helped me… not to mention a lot… I will also lend a hand to you!..."

"Oh! Thanks Ino-chan!"

"So, you're not sleeping just to get us all together with your uh, plans?!" Ino asked worriedly noticing that Hinata is looking a little pale.

"Oh, I'll be okay!..." Hinata said cheerfully, trying to look like a little bit energetic.

"Oh no, young lady! After your shift with Naruto, you two have to sleep… I'll, I mean we, I mean Shika-kun and I, will handle Neji and Tenten!..." Ino said with a mischievous look on her face.

"Uhh… Ino-chan, don't do anything uh…"

"I swear, Hinata-chan! I won't do anything stupid!!" She said looking kinda roguish.

"Ohh… Okay…" Hinata replied hesitantly. Naruto and Hinata then took their shift right after the new couple. They talked about the plan they had made to get Ino and Shikamaru together.

"You know, Hinata-chan?"

"What?"

"Getting Ino and Shikamaru together didn't become as hard as I thought…"

"Hmm… yeah…" she nodded as she giggled.

"What's funny, Hinata-chan?!"

"It's Ino, she told me that after our shift, we could get some sleep while she and Shikamaru will be taking care of Neji-nee-san and Tenten-chan…"

"Uh, Hinata-chan… you know, Ino could do things that are a bit atrocious…" Naruto said worriedly. I f Neji finds out that he's into this plan, he would beat him up into a bloody-pulp. He gulped at the thought.

"Don't worry, Naruto-kun!... I think that Shikamaru will think of a nice plan about them… Haha! We are so not acting like ninjas here…" Hinata is really laughing her head off while Naruto is looking at her innocently.

"You know, Hinata-chan?, I really don't know what I'd do without you…" he whispered but loud enough for Hinata to hear the entire sentence.

"Same with me, Naruto-kun…" she replied sweetly. Naruto sat much closer to her while putting one of his arms on her shoulders. They stayed like that for the entire shift, until Neji and Tenten came out.

"Oi, dobe! Get your hands off of my cousin…" Upon hearing this, the couple turned around to see a smiling Tenten and a twitching Neji.

"Hmpf!... Fine! Take your shift now! Goodnight, Hinata-chan!"

"Hmm… Goodnight, Naruto-kun!" she said while giving him a peck on the lips. Naruto looked back once again at Neji as he mouthed, "At least, I have a girlfriend!" Neji just gave him a murderous glare. As the two ninjas went inside their tents, another two ninjas, not Tenten and Neji, sneaked out of their tents, hiding behind a bush.
