"Mmm-mmm! Hinata-chan, you sure make good food!" Naruto commented as he leaned in to smell whatever Hinata had cooked in her pot.
"U-um thanks, N-naruto-sama." Ohmigawd! N-naruto-sama's face is so close to m-mine!
Naruto chuckled. "Still shy, eh? You don't need to call me 'Naruto-sama'."
Hinata looked at him in a slightly confused way.
"But y-you're my master! What else am I supposed to call you?"
"Well, 'Naruto-kun' will do." Naruto flashed Hinata a cute boyish grin; Hinata blushed promptly. "Besides, we're on good terms, you and I."
B-but, Hinata wanted to say, 'Naruto-kun' sounds like we're too close, almost like… like… we're l-lovers! Not that I mind, or anything… WAIT! What am I saying? Tsunade-sama said specifically that… that… Hinata racked her brain to remember what Tsunade said. It had something to do with… love.
Naruto frowned thoughtfully at Hinata's face. It was getting redder and redder. Any moment, he thought, it was going to EXPLODE! Now, he didn't want that to happen!
As much as he didn't want to admit it, -or maybe he does- Hinata actually looked kind of cute like that. Okay, okay, she was REALLY cute. She looked like a cute little plushie that had dark, silky hair, and sheer lavender eyes. What really made her cute was the scarlet blush that stained her cheeks.
Now, if only he could always make her blush like that…
His thought was broken when a foul smell entered his nostrils.
"Uh, Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked, sniffing the air again, "Do you smell something burning?"
"Huh?" Hinata's eyes went wide with panic. She looked around frantically until she spotted the smoking pot.
"Oh nooooo," Hinata groaned, "The soup's ruined!" She looked down at the now-not-watery-so-called-soup. All that hard work! All wasted, too!
Hinata closed her eyes so she wouldn't see Naruto's expression. He must be thinking about how horrible it is to have Hinata as a guardian Angel. Now she'll be sent back to heaven and become the laughing stock of the heavenly grounds.
But Naruto didn't say anything like that. She should've known too. Naruto was too nice to treat her that way.
He patted Hinata's shoulder sympathetically.
"It's okay Hinata-chan. Why don't we eat somewhere else?"
"W-where?"
Naruto grinned happily. "I know a great place where we can eat ramen! Come on!"
"O-okay." If Naruto-kun likes to eat this ramen, then I shall like it to. After all, I'm going to be eating with him!

'Byakugan!' Neji quickly used his valuable bloodline technique to scan his surroundings. There are the targets! In one fluid motion, all the targets were pierced exactly at the bull's eye by kunais. Well… except for one.
Neji scowled in the direction of the stupid target.
"Hey, Neji-sama!!" Tenten exclaimed cheerfully while poking him on the shoulder. "Wha'cha doin'?"
Neji closed his eyes and sighed. "Oh, it's you. Again." Tenten frowned.
"Why Neji-sama? Do you not like me being here?"
Neji rolled his eyes. "Could you stop calling me 'Neji-sama'?"
Tenten smiled at him and blinked, faking innocence.
"Oh? Okay then." She started casually, "Do you want me to call you 'freaky-white-eyed-person-that-can't-even-hit-all-the-targets'? 'Cause you know I'd love to."
Neji glared at her and straightened with indignity.
"I do not have freaky white eyes!" He exclaimed hotly, "And I could have hit all those targets if I wanted to! Besides, I meant that you could call me 'Neji' instead of some stupid long name that you can't even remember!"
Tenten broke out laughing. Neji's glare softened too, and the corners of his mouth lifted. Damn. This girl was getting into him. Not good.
"Whatever you say, Neji-kun," Tenten gasped out between her laughter, "but I bet I could still hit more targets than you could!"
Neji raised an eyebrow and smirked.
"Oh yeah? Let's see you try." He handed Tenten a kunai.
Tenten carefully examined the kunai. She looked up at Neji, who was still looking at her with a challenging look. Swiftly, the kunai flew through the air and landed exactly on the bull's eye of the target that Neji didn't hit.
She looked at Neji again. This time, he didn't look doubtful and challenging; he look dumbfounded. Tenten grinned.
"See? Told you I could hit that target." Tenten smugly pointed to where the kunai had struck. Neji didn't know what to say. Tenten waited patiently for him to speak. Come on! I know that you're going to say that I was right. Finally, he opened his mouth.
"I… uh… I mean… th-that was just luck!" Neji looked surprised at himself for a second. Then, his expression turned in to belief.
"Yeah… that was just luck. You probably can't hit five targets out of ten."
Tenten was scandalized. She couldn't believe this guy's ego! What a sexist!
"Excuse me?" Tenten asked as she put her hands on her hips and narrowed her eyes. "Hit five out of ten?"
Neji smirked. "What, you can't even hit five out of ten? Fine. Two out of ten. Can you do that?"
Tenten's jaw dropped down towards the floor. "Of course I can hit five out of ten!! Hell, I could even hit ten out of ten!" Neji snorted in disbelief. Tenten glared at him more. "You don't believe me? Fine. I'll prove it to you."
Neji smirked an I-know-you're-not-going-to-win smirk. "Meet me out here in 10 minutes. I'll go set up."
"Fine!" With that, she turned heel and left.
Neji smiled to himself. This girl was very amusing when she was mad. Though, exclaiming that she could hit a hundred out of a hundred targets … well that Neji has yet to see.

Sakura quietly tip-toed into Sasuke's room. Hmmm. Why was Sakura tip-toeing? And what was she doing in Sasuke's room? Well, she's on a quest. She wants to find out more about Sasuke. Hopefully, some of her answers will be in his room.
As soon as Sakura stepped in to Sasuke's room, she was overwhelmed by all the blue and black that was in his room.
Sakura pursed her lips and folded her arms across her chest.
Uh-uh, she thought to herself, this is a big no-no. This will definitely not do.
Sakura tsk-tsked and walked around the spacious room, wrinkling her nose while picking up dirty underwear off Sasuke's blue (again) carpet.
Sakura frowned and looked around the room. Plain blue wallpaper, blue velvet comforter, dark blue dresser; there was blue, blue, and more blue everywhere! Could his room get anymore boring?
Sakura shook her head again. No, this wouldn't do at all.
Sasuke-sama's room was waaay too dull. He needed something lively, something energetic, something… sparky.
Sakura's eyes suddenly lit up. That was it! Yes, Sasuke-sama needed something sparky everyday to keep him out of his often-monotonic trance. And what could be better than to start with his room?
Sakura smiled clapped her hands in excitement. Pity though, if Ino were here, she would have squealed and would immediately help her in her plans.
Oh well. One girl was better than no girl. Sakura whipped out her wand with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
Time for some serious girl power here!

Somewhere in Konohagakure, a girl with long blond hair and bright blue eyes sneezed.
She was currently sitting with her back leaning against the door of a bathroom. Ino wiped her nose and sniffed miserably. Ino scowled at the door and brought her knees to her chest. She had been stuck in this stupid room for over an hour! Although she would rather stay in there than face the embarrassment out side, this was seriously getting un-sparky!
Ino giggled at the childish word she and best friend Sakura made when they were little. She immediately stopped giggling when a tentative knock resounded on the door.
"Ino?" a soft laidback masculine voice from the other side of the door brought shivers down her spine. Ino shook her head and tried to ignore the sensation. The voice came again.
"Ino, are you okay in there?"
Ino slapped the door hard in response.
"Ino, will you come out?" this time, the voice sounded a bit impatient.
"NO!" Ino snapped, "I will not come out! Leave me alone and shut the hell up Shikamaru!"
"Ino!" Shikamaru responded, frustrated. "I need to go!"
A muffled 'huh' was all the answer Shikamaru got.
"I said, 'I need to go'!"
Ino's voice sounded confused.
"Go where?" If he were any other person at the moment, Shikamaru might have laughed at the situation, but this was too urgent.
Shikamaru sucked in a deep breath and yelled: "HURRY UP AND GET OUT OF THE BATHROOM BEFORE I PISS ON MYSELF!"
Ino smirked. She had purposely feigned confusion just to have Shikamaru wait to use the bathroom. She snickered as Shikamaru yelled 'hurry!' and opened the door.
Shikamaru almost tripped in his haste to use the bathroom.
"Close the door!" he yelled again.
"As you wish, master." Ino replied mockingly.
Ino's shoulders shook with mirth as she leaned against the closed door. Oh, this was fun!
