Hiiiiii! Again thank you to all the readers and my editor crazy-franky101. Im trying to make the chapters longer for those of you who have been asking.

There was a knock at the door, so Neji got up from his bed, reluctantly leaving behind the thoughts of the kunochi.

"U-uh hello, Neji-kun. I-I was just wondering if you are going to Ino's party."

"Why?"

"F-father will not let me go alone, a-and I already g-got a dress." She said, looking a little embarrassed.

"I won't deprive you of your fun. I'll come."

"T-thank you!" She said, sounding relieved, as she walked off to her room.

Hinata felt a little guilty lying to her cousin like that, but he and Tenten needed to talk and that party was the perfect chance.

Neji walked back to his bed. Normally he still would have said no, but he knew it would have only made Hinata sad and given Tenten a reason to be mad at him. Under the circumstances it was best just to go with it. Anyway, if Hinata had bought a dress while shopping today it means most likely Tenten did too. He smirked as he flipped over and started to fall asleep, with the thought of the beautiful girl all dressed up.

~~~~~A week later~~~~

"Tenniiiiiiii, hurry upppppppp!" Yelled a very impatient Hisoka.

" Im coming, and don't call me that!" But he didn't hear her. He was to busy gazing at her. She looked amazing. Not only did she have a beautiful dress, but she had put her hair down for the first time since he had met her, her makeup was perfect, and she had on a simple red ribbon tied at the top of her arm. "What? Is it to much?" She asked, a little disappointment in her voice.

"N-no, y-you're beautiful!" He exclaimed, mouth still agape. She walked over and closed it for him.

"Come on, we're gonna be late." Why couldnt Neji think of her like that? she thought as Hisoka followed her out the door.

Neji waited at the gates of the estate. Hinata had been running late after taking a long nap.

Hinata texted Tenten that she was coming with Neji and that she would be late, not wanting the girl to have a heart attack when he walked into the party. She had convineced Neji to wear dress clothes, instead of his normal ninja gear.

Hannabi walked into her sisters room, "You look fine- now go. I'm pretty sure your late!" It was true Hinata looked dazzling in the dress. She had even curled her hair and worn makeup for the event, just to see if it would make a certain blond ninja notice her.

"Okaaaay. I'm going, I'm going. Just don't touch any of my things while I'm gone." Hinata stopped and her sister stared at her dumfounded, that was the first time she had ever, in her life, given a command without stuttering. Maybe this look wasn't just making her look good- it seemed to have given her some confidence, too. She smiled as she walked out of the room, not even stumbiling in the heels she was wearing, as her sister stared after her. Yup, this was gonna be a good night.

Tenten arived at the party only to be greeted by Ino donned in a wonderful dark blue dress along with Sai, who was dressed as he always was.

"OH my gosh, Tenten! You look wonderful!" She giggled

"You do, too!" She claimed, hugging the girl and handing her a present. "This is Hisoka. He's a friend."

"Ohh" But as they walked to a table to put the present down she whispered " He's cute, but I thought you liked Neji?"

"I do." the other girl quickly responded as she turned back to her date.

Jealousy, huh? seems like Ino was rubbing off on the rest of the girls after all. She smirked.

"So where's Hinata?"

"She's running a little late, she'll be here soon!"

"Hey Tenten, wanna go dance?" Hisoka asked.

"Why not?" She shrugged as he pulled her to the dance floor, just when a slow song came on.

Tenten couldn't help but feel bad. She had always thought her first slow dance would be with Neji.

As if on cue he walked in, his cousin at his side. Everybody in the area turned to look at them. Hinata looked perfect, some of the guys were even staring, only to get slapped by their dates.

"Hinata, is that you?" exclaimed Sakura as she walked over to her with an opened mouth Naruto behind her.

She giggled "Why wouldnt it be?" Then it was everyone's turn to stare.

"Y-you're talking without stuttering!" Ino said, surprised.

"Y-you look great Hinata!" Naruto said his cheeks turning a rosy shade of pink.

She smiled and politely thanked him, but on the inside she was jumping like a little kid yelling "He noticed me!"

"D-do you wanna dance?" he asked shyly as guests started returning to what they were previously doing.

"I'd love to." She said with a confident smile, leaving Neji's side.

Neji scanned the room looking for Tenten. He stopped when he found her. She looked even more amazing than always. He smiled, then stopped, when he noticed who she was dancing with. He walked away resisting the urge to strangle Hisoka.

Tenten looked at Neji as he walked away. He looked handsome all dressed up. She immediately wished it was him she were dancing with instead.

"You wanna go get a drink?" Hisoka asked.

"Wha? Oh, sure." She said, breaking out of her trance.
