Sup peoples! I just got done with this so hope you like it. There's not much of anything else I'd like to say…

Wait…

I want to give a shout out to a reviewer: Delione (hope I spelled that right).

Thank you so much, I am glad you like my story. And as you wished, I tried to make this chapter longer (and trust me it was hard, there were soooooo many parts where I could have ended this chapter) but I had this voice ( and no I'm not crazy lol) telling me "give Delione a longer chapter! So I did, or at least tried to. And don't worry there will be sasusaku moments soon, thank you for bearing with me- to you and all my followers and favoriters- thank you for everyone who followed/favorite too!

But anyway (for everyone) this is probably going to be one of my longer stories, and since it is a story, I have to coax you guys into it and stuff, but do not fret the next chapter will have Sasuke ( like literally have him in it and not just mention him- you'll see what I mean) and some nice sasusaku moments. Stay tuned for the next chapter. (I'll try to have it up by Friday… maybe Saturday morning) Until then. ENJOY!

OH WAIT! If you guys read the prologue (hoping you did) and you saw, and I quote: "I am taking different approach and instead of focusing on my favorite Naruto duo (NarutoxHinata) and writing about the guy that started KH with the first installment of SORA and his girl…" I really am embarrassed to have read that. My friend brought it to my attention today. That was NOT supposed to say KH or Sora and his girl. I am in the process of creating another story, for much much later in the year, that is the first story installment of Sora and his girl, because my other stories focused on Roxas and Namine, and apparently when I began writing this one, I took that saved document that was for THAT story and typed out the prologue of THIS story without noticing that it wasn't the correct document to be typing on. It was, had I not done that, supposed to say, "I am taking different approach and instead of focusing on my favorite Naruto duo (NarutoxHinata) and writing about the guy that caused so much mess in the series Sasuke and his girl!" so yeah. Sorry about that guys. Im sure people were like this is a Naruto fic not a Kingdom Hearts one lol.

Okay now we're done!

Disclaimer: Naruto is owned by Kishimoto.

"Let us get started today with introductions. My name is Kosuke Maroboshi, and today we will be learning a cupcake recipe. We will learn the art of making delicious red velvet cakes!"

Kosuke smiled at his class as he began to pass out the paper with the recipe on it.

"You may start once you get the paper, and remember dry with dry, wet with wet, then combine!"

Ino groaned.

"I am in love with flowers, not food. Especially unhealthy ones that can mess up this figure."

Ino, in her purple apron, showed off her figure to her best friends. Sakura scoffed.

"C'mon Ino-pig, we have to do this if we want to pass this class this semester…"

Hinata was already mixing up the batter, while looking at the recipe.

"Besides Ino-chan, cooking and baking are pretty easy."

Hinata said in her usual sweet voice pouring a white substance into the mix. Sakura and Ino guessed it was flour… or maybe it was sugar. Ino placed her hands on her hips.

"Says the girl who loves cooking and baking."

Hinata blushed.

"Father told me it would be a good thing to do for my future husband, so that when he comes home, he'd always have a home cooked meal to get full off of."

Sakura grabbed a couple of cupcake pans.

"But aren't you supposed to be the heiress to your family's industry?"

Hinata stopped mixing and frowned.

"F-fa-father doesn't think I can do it. He said I will be better acting as a trophy wife."

Ino and Sakura gasped.

"Say what!?"

Hinata forced a smile.

"Yeah. B-but it- it's okay. I can be the best wife out there."

"No."

Ino swung Hinata so that she was facing the blonde and pink haired girls.

"Hinata… you're not a trophy wife. You can't be one. You're better than that…"

Kosuke Maroboshi stopped instructing a group of students, before walking up to the three girls.

"Problem ladies?"

They all blushed.

"No Maruboshi-sensei."

Hinata poured her batch of red velvet cupcakes into the pan as Kosuke went to go stop Lee from blowing the classroom up.

The girls walked to their Science class munching on their cupcakes. Well, Sakura and Hinata did as Ino took nibbles from it.

"I can't finish this."

Sakura glared at her friend.

"But Hinata spent so much time on them, especially since we couldn't for the life of us, help her. At least eat half."

Ino stuck her tongue out at Sakura.

"Hinata, sweetie, from what I nibbled it's good, but my figure…"

Hinata smiled.

"It's okay Ino, here put it in this container."

Hinata held up a container filled with the rest of her treats in front of Ino. Ino winked at her pink haired best friend, while she placed her barely touched baked good inside. Sakura shook her head. As Ino began to get the crumbs off of her hands a boy with black hair poked her side, causing her to flinch a little. She was about yell at them, but when she turned around her voice kind of got caught in her throat.

"Hello Miss Ino."

Sakura and Hinata stared at Sai and Ino.

"Um… uh… Yes?"

Sai looked down.

"Um. Are you walking to Shizune sensei's Biology class right now?"

Ino placed her hands causually to her sides, obviously getting rid of her surprise. Or was it infatuation?

"Yeah."

Sai smiled, though it seemed force.
"I'm sorry. You probably think I'm weird."

Ino shook her head.

"Naw. Not really. You're too cute to be weird."

Sai stared at the blonde in awe. Sakura's eyebrow raised.

Oh really now?

"Did you need something."

Sai nodded.

"Um, yes. I wanted you to take this, but don't open it until Lunch."

Ino took the paper out of his hand.

"Okay, but what does Shizune-sensei's class have to do with this."

Sai smiled, a little more natural now.

"Nothing, I just wanted to know where I could see your beautiful face again. My second period class is next door to Shizune's, and I noticed you were walking that way. My third is back that way. Sir Danzo's PE class."

Sai pointed towards the way the three girls had come from before glancing back at Ino. Ino nodded and smiled.

"But since my third cross paths with yours, I know now I can see you while going to third every morning."

Sai looked down again, a faint blush on his face before turning and walking towards his class. Ino lifted his chin.

"That is so sweet. Thank you."

Sai nodded as he stepped away from Ino.

" Yeah. Later Miss Ino."

Ino stared at the boy. Sakura and Hinata giggled.

"I think that kid likes you."

Ino stared at his missing figure.

"Hmm. He's the newer kid at this school right?"

Hinata nodded, though Ino couldn't see her.

"Yes. His name is Sai."

Ino nodded.

"Sai huh. He was pretty hot, but he's like the rest of the boys at this school who want me it seems. Such a shame. Anyway c'mon let's get to class."

The girls began to walk again, but Ino couldn't help but look back and hold the note close to her chest.

Shikamaru used to do the same thing.

Lady Tsunade stood in the front of the room.

"Hello. As you all know I'm Tsunade, Konoha High's principal, and I will be your stand in Biology teacher for the day. Any questions?"

A kid raised his hand.

"Where is Shizune- sensei?"

"She had too much to drink last night any other questions?." The principal asked the class. The same kid raised his hand.

"Yeah, why didn't you just get a substitute."

Lady Tsunade's eyes twitched.

"You're questions annoy me. Anyone else before I pummel this brat."

Everyone stayed quiet. The woman smiled.

"Good, I probably would have killed you all."

Sakura, Ino and Hinata laughed. This was the third year that,on the first day of school, the principal of their school had to cover for a hung-over Shizune. The girls knew she covered for her, because Shizune was a dear friend of Tsunade's, and because she loved science and originally was a biology teacher herself but was offered a job as a principal and gladly accepted, after being coaxed by her old friend Jiraya-sensei. To say the least, the girls loved their principal because to them she showed her warm side, while to others-especially Naruto at times- was thought to be coldhearted. On top of that, she was a strong woman who lost two men in her life- her brother and ex-fiancé- who both died in different situations but nonetheless traumatic ones, and she was still on top of things… Though her drinking and gambling usually got her in trouble.

"Now, I know the others probably loaded you with tons of homework, but I am only covering this class today, and to make Shizune grade all of your despicable answers on the human body would just be wrong of me- because you probably don't know much anyway…. so today I will sit at that desk playing online blackjack, and you will not bother me capiche."

The class nodded.

"Good. Just think of this as a free period."

Ino immediately turned to Hinata and Sakura who sat behind her.

"Okay. Gossip time!"

Hinata smiled while Sakura rolled her eyes.

"Really Ino."

Ino removed a piece of her hair that fell a little too close to her mouth.

"Uh. Ya. Hinata. I want to know how your first period went with Naruto."

Hinata blushed bright red. She began to play with her hands.

"W-well, umm…"

Ino tapped her foot.

"Ugh. Spit it out."

"Kiba kun's having a hangout this Friday. For like a back to school house party…"

Sakura tapped her pencil on her desk.

"Yeah, so?"

"I didn't ask you about Kiba, I asked about Naruto."

"Ino-pig, if the girl doesn't want to talk about it, then you can't force her. Besides, I thought you said Naruto wasn't good enough for her."

Ino glared at Sakura.

"I don't think he is worthy of her time, but I know she digs him, and I want to see if she made any progress."

Ino said matter of factly.

"I mentioned the party because we're going." Hinata said sternly.

Ino and Sakura looked at the blue haired beauty shocked. Hinata was not known to be stern; she was known to be graceful, pure and sweet. This was new.

"I really don't want to though Hinata." Sakura sort of whispered, still trying to recuperate from Hinata's uncharacteristic tone.

Hinata bit her lip.

"Please?"

"Why?" Ino asked.

"W-we-well, N- Naruto-kun is going to be there and… y'know. It's a party…"

"There'll be drinking, couples making out, and the horrible stench of sex, everything that you do not take part of Hinata. On top of that your father would never let you go." Sakura reminded the girl. Hinata lowered her head.

"Well, yes Sakura-chan, but."

"And a good chance Shikamaru will be there and I for one do NOT want to see him. Especially since I know he'll bring Temari."

Hinata looked defeated. She quietly whispered.

"But I'd sneak out for this one."

Sakrua and Ino almost died. Miss good and innocent girl would sneak out for Naruto? Sakura gaped.

What the hell did that moron do to our Hinata?

"Are you serious? We've tried to get you to sneak out and come to parties with us before and to all of them you said no."

Hinata moved some of her hair befind her ear.

"Well, you know, I'm a senior now. I want to experience at least one house party…"

Ino frowned.

"As much as that sounds amazing getting you dressed up for a 'party' scene, like I said Shikamaru's going to be there, and I just don't think that will be a good idea."

Hinata's eyes furrowed together.

"Plus it's Kiba's party Hinata, his would be the worst to go to, at least for your first. Bad things always happen at them." Sakura tried to convince her friend. Hinata shook her head.

"Please. Naruto-kun invited me and told me he really hoped I'd come, with Sakura-chan and Ino-chan of course."

Hinata did her infamous puppy dog pout towards her best friends.

"Oh no."

Ino gritted her teeth.

"Why couldn't he just ask you to come and not mention us?"

Sakura frowned. She knew Naruto had a crush on her. He did probably ask Hinata to go, but only because he knew Sakura would tag along. He was a boy. Most had agendas.

"He actually did."

Sakura gaped again.

Wait what?

"Wait what?"

Too caught up in their conversation the girls didn't realize that the other students were packing up. The bell rang. Shocking all of them forcing them to twitch. Tsunade giggled.

"Seems like you three had a good convo."

Hinata blushed. Ino and Sakura smiled.

"Yes we did Lady Tsunade, but it will have to continue at lunch. We didn't get to finish."

Tsunade smirked.

"Ahh. I remember when I was your age gossiping… Anyway get to your next class okay."

The girls nodded as they walked towards the door. All three were shocked to see Naruto casually leaned up against the wall waiting. Along with Choji who was chowing down on some potato chips.

"Hey Ino. Sakura. Hinata!"

Ino looked disgusted.

"Ew Choji."

Choji frowned.

"You wait Ino, my future wife wouldn't care that I eat. Matter of fact she'd make me food to eat. You wouldn't be able to keep a man if you don't feed him."

Ino's heart stopped and she growled.

"What did you just say?"

Choji swallowed and stared wide eyed. He looked down embarrassed and tried to retrace his statement.

"Any guy would be lucky to have you."

Ino smirked.

"That's what I thought."

Choji grunted.

Why does it seem as though every since Shikamaru broke up with her, she's been even more hostile.

"Na-Naruto- kun."

Naruto smiled at the shy girl.

"Sup Hinata-chan. Told ya I'd be here to walk you to fourth."

Hinata blushed harder, if that was possible.

Naruto looked at Sakura strangely. Sakura bit her lip. He looked like he was in love.

I hate that he seems to only have eyes for me. Look at Hinata... She's the one that likes YOU! Shānnarō! .

"Sakura-chan, did Hinata-chan tell you about the party."

Hinata spoke for her.

"Y-yes I d-did N-Naruto-kun."

Naruto smiled wider.

"Well, are you coming?"

Sakura was about to shake her head.

"Yes. Y-yes She is N-Naruto-kun. As well as Ino-chan."

Naruto's eyes glimmered.

"Sweet."

Sakura stared in horror as well as Ino.

Shānnarō! ! Hinata! We said NO!

Naruto turned to Hinata and Choji."

"Hey, we should go."

Ino and Sakura stared at the three people as they made their way to their English class.

"What the fuck just happened?"

Ino turned to Sakura.

"Ino… I have no idea."

Genma Shiranui held his senbon in his mouth as his "students" piled in.

Ino stormed into the room picking a desk in the middle, as Shikamaru lazily, but obviously irritated followed suit sitting right next to the blonde. Ino hissed at him.

"Go sit somewhere else."

"As troublesome as you are. I won't I want to talk."

"You have nothing to say to me."

"Just like always, when little miss Ino doesn't get what she wants she turns into a bitch."

Ino gasped as her green eyes widened. She bit her lip and looked to the front of the class ignoring the boy. Shikamaru grunted.

"Shit."

Sakura sighed in aggravation as she sat on the opposite side of Ino, now placing the blonde in the middle of her best friend, and ex- best friend/lover, before looking at the instructor. She stred at him confused.

"Uh. Genma-sensei? Where is Iruka-sensei?"

Genma stared at the pink haired girl. In his mouth her switched the senbon he had in it from right to left, back to right, making a circular pattern.

"He's sick right now. He asked if I could fill in."

Sakura nodded.

Is this high school so poor we can't afford actual substitutes? No, that can't be. Otherwise the mayor's, Hyuga's, and Nara's children wouldn't be here.

The usual assistant to the principal smirked as the bell rang.

"Alrighty, let's get this over with."

Shikamaru Nara grabbed Ino's wrist.
"HEY!"

Ino glared at the boy. Sakura stared wide eyed.

"Shikamaru I don't want to speak with you."

Ino ripped her arm away from him before quickly entering the girl's bathroom so he couldn't follow. Sakura sighed in relief as the boy looked at nothingness in the air. He chuckled sourly.

"I remember when we could talk to each other without it having to be so hostile."

He shook his head.

"Guess we can never be best friends again huh. I don't even know why I want to be a part of her life still. Honestly everything is a drag."

Sakura stared sadly at him.

"Shikamaru… you just gotta give her time. It's only been two months y'know. She's still sorting out her feelings for you."

He grunted.

"Curse the day I asked her out because Choji and the others told me she liked me. Had I never listened to them I wouldn't be in this damn situation."

Sakura opened her mouth before closing it. Shikamaru continued.

"Then she wouldn't be hurting and being more troublesome than ever. Sakura you believe me when I say I didn't know she felt that strongly for me right? We weren't even dating for THAT long."

Sakura nodded. The black haired teen scoffed.

"No you don't."

Sakura lowered her gaze.

"Shikamaru, I want to but… you didn't even stick up for her when Temari said those nasty things to her and Tenten, you spoke up for Temari instead…"

Shikamaru yawned.

"All women have their troublesome ways. That wasn't my battle to face."

Sakura gasped.

"But she was your girlfriend!"

Shikamaru shook his head.

"No. By that time Temari was my girlfriend. Ino just couldn't take that and decided upon herself she would cause problems with Temari. Temari was willing to be mutual with Ino since she knew I cared for her like a little sister..."

Shikamaru emphasied little sister.

"The moment Ino didn't get what she wanted; she bitched and then couldn't handle the heat. She's troublesome like that."

With that Shikamaru left a stunned Sakura.

Ino lied about what transpired?

After coaxing Ino out of the bathroom the two girls went to go find Hinata, only to find Naruto's arm swung around her shoulders and a blushing Hinata. The two girls gaped.

"Er… Hinata?"

Hinata slowly looked at her friends, cell phone in her hands as if she was about to call someone.

"Sa-sakura-chan? Ino-chan?"

She looked over. He took his arm from Hinata and stood in front of Sakura.

"Hey Sakura-chan, you guys wanna eat with us. I was just asking Hinata-chan to call you so you could join us."

The two girls stared at the friend for an explanation; however her gaze was on Naruto, of course.

"Uh, Um. Sure."

Ino stared at Sakura in horror. "

Um actually, I'm- I'm gonna go find Sai." She nodded hoping Sakura would catch on. She did.

Shikamaru will be there…

Naruto shook his head.

"Bring Sai-kun with you."

Ino glared at Naruto. Kiba and Choji walked up to Naruto just then.

"Yo. Naruto. Where's Shikamaru?"

Naruto, still straring at the girls answered.

"He said something about going to get lunch with…"

Kiba snickered.

"He went with Temari didn't he."

Naruto looked at his friend sheepishly.

"Yup. When the hell did that happen? I mean I remember when we went to play against Suna, but I don't remember them… you know, becoming a thing."

Kiba shrugged. Sakura listened intently.

That game last year happened around the time Ino really started to treat Shikamaru badly. Was he telling the truth? Was she hostile because he broke up with her? That would make it be almost five months broken up, not two.

Ino gritted her teeth before remembering the paper Sai gave to her. She pulled it out, read it and gasped. Sakura and the rest looked at her in concern. Ino let a tear run down her face.

"Ino?"

"I-I have to go find Sai. You guys go on and eat. I'll catch you for History after Lunch Sakura."

The blonde briskly walked off in her pumps. Sakura stared at her friend curiously.

That paper. I wonder what it said.

"Well, anyway,you guys want to eat in the cafeteria or go out to eat." Naruto asked the four people around him.

"OUT!" Kiba and Choji nearly yelled. Hinata nodded agreeing. Sakura looked at Hinata, who was doing that infamous puppy dog yet again and agreed.

Hinata you owe me.

He chuckled.

"Good let me call Teme."

Hinata and Sakura looked at each other.

"T-teme?"

"Who's Teme Naruto?"

Naruto laughed.

"No his name isn't really Teme- Hello. Yo. The gang was going to go eat some Korean bbq. Think you can get away for a sec to join us?"

Naruto nodded as he listened to the person on the other line.

"Alright. Meet us out front."

Naruto ended the call on his Samsung Galaxy 5.

"Alright, Let's get going all ready!"

The group had already gotten their off campus passes and were now standing waiting for the mystery person. It had been at least ten minutes leaving them with less than thirty minutes left before they had to check back into the school.

"Ugh. Naruto where the hell is he!" Choji whined as his stomach growled.

Naruto grunted.

"This guy."

He pulled out his phone about to call the person but it began ringing.

"Teme… WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!"

Naruto sneered as he listened to the person talk. He sighed, obviously sad and irritated.

"Fine. See you at Tou-san's meeting later on. Later Teme."

He ended the call. Kiba looked at him.

"Well?"

Naruto pouted.

"He can't make it. C'mon."

The boys began to walk but Sakura got in front of them.

"Who the hell is this Teme person Naruto!"

Naruto looked at the pink haired girl confused. Sakura glared at him. And if looks could kill, he'd be dead.

"N-naruto-kun, you never told us who Teme-kun was."

Naruto facepalmed.

"Right. Sorry Sakura-chan, Hinata-chan. Teme is Itachi-niisan's brother. He's my best friend. His name is Sasuke, but I call him Teme."

The boys all laughed, obviously the name was an inside joke. Hinata's eyes widened.

"Sa-Sasuke-kun? I-I think I've met him before Na-Naruto-kun."

Naruto seemed deep in thought. He began nodding and smiling.

"Yeah you did Hinata-chan. At the summer festival a month ago." Hinata smiled nodding her head as she remembered him. Sakura stared curiously at the blonde.

Hot male Itachi has a brother? Hmm. Why does that sound familiar? I wonder how he looks.

Okay the only note I have on this one is that Naruto will call Itachi, Itachi-niisan, because, as explained in the other chapters (whichever that one was), him and Sasuke grew up together like brothers, so it's only natural that Itachi ( Sasuke's actual brother) thinks of Naruto as his other "baby brother," and Naruto thinks of the Uchiha as his big brother...

Just a thought, but technically, Naruto would be subject to call Sasuke "niisan" too huh. Sasuke's was born before him right…. Interesting. Sorry I just thought of that lol.

Laterz!
