Hey guys so I counted the review and the latest is Naruto: 4 and Sasuke: 2. For the loser couple I might make another story just for them. Thanks for those who reviewed on the last one. You're all so nice and beautiful. The voting will probably go up until chapter 12. So here is chapter nine!

Neji looked down at his work and felt a pair of eyes never leave his back. Getting more than a little bit annoyed, he turned around to see nothing there except students barely doing their work since they were too busy chatting. He slightly shrugged and returned to his work with a sigh when he saw a piece of folded paper on his desk. Looking around with an observing eye he finally opened it and carefully looked inside, as if a bomb would be ticking away inside. Immediately recognizing the handwriting as Tenten's her turned his head to her direction and saw her smirking with a sly glint in her eyes. Turning his attention back on the paper he finally read what she wrote.

Neji you look like a rapist while doing your work. Oh and I have a mission for you. Let's get Temari and Shikamaru together! C'mon you know you want to play matchmaker.

Neji smirked slightly and put the thumbs down for Tenten to see him. She pouted then glared at his back for the rest of class.

Gaara had started wanting to punch girls when he started his third month of high school. It was just an itch that kept chilling at his back but he didn't want to do it since that was like punching a baby in the face. The itch only grew stronger when he went to school today. The damned girls kept whispering about what he'd done in the past.

'Damn, just one good punch sounds so tempting right now,' Gaara thought as he turned his head and glared at them. The girls both had grabbed onto each other and were shivering with fear. Gaara looked at his watch and started to gather his stuff since the class only had two minutes left of the period. He pushed through the crowd and went to his next class.

"Sabuko-san!" A timid voice shouted to him from down the hallway. He turned his attention on the caller and saw Hinata walking quickly toward him. He raised a brow and waited for her to catch up with him. When she finally did, she gave a warm smile and handed him a pink envelope with a heart in the middle.

'A love letter,' Gaara thought as he questioned the looks of the letter. He gave her a confused look and she blushed heavily.

"Ah no, it's not like that! Sakura-san had told me to give this to you since we have the same class right now," Hinata said as she waved her hands in front of her face, frantically. He nodded and gave a smirk at her uneasiness. As they walked to their advanced math class, Gaara kept note that she didn't seem as cheery as she usually is.

"It's not my place to ask, but are you okay?" Gaara asked as they turned a hallway, nearing the classroom at the end of it. Hinata bit her lip and her eyes narrowed a bit.

"My life is too complicated, Sabuko-san. I think that every problem I have isn't really fair to me, b-but then again who doesn't think that right?" Hinata says her stutter coming back a little. Gaara nodded at her vague answer and walked inside the classroom.

Sakura watched as Ino paced around the girls bathroom.

"So, you love him forever and then just because a friend is the object of his desire you give up?" Ino asked as she glared daggers at the pink haired female. Sakura averted her gaze to somewhere else and bit her lip.

"Tell me Sakura, do you not feel any kind of hatred for the Hyuuga? Nothing like wanting to slap her face with no sense?" Ino persisted as she walked near Sakura. They caught each other's gaze and Ino gave a sly smile.

"I can see it in your eyes. Underneath all that 'I don't mind' crap, you really hate the Hyuuga heiress," Ino said smiling to herself. Sakura shook her head and looked at her reflection in the mirror. Ino came up behind her and her own reflection showed as well.

"Sakura, I'm your friend and will tell you straight up right now; the Hyuuga is stealing your Sasuke right underneath your nose. Better deal with that, shouldn't you," Ino said with a smirk as she left the bathroom. Sakura looked at her reflection and glared daggers.

"Damn it Sakura, you know she is right but you won't act on it. You'll fucking smile like you've been accepted to heaven," Sakura reminded herself as she gripped the sides of the sink.

Sasuke ran at a slow pace and slightly looked behind him to see who was catching up. Gym wasn't the most fun period when you were surrounded by testosterone filled boys and girls who did nothing but stare at you with drool hanging from their lips. He sighed a bit before running a bit faster this time so he could finally take a break. As he caught his breath he turned to see Sakura already sitting down. He questioned when she finished and was about to question her until he saw her crush her water bottle with one squeeze.

'Yeah, I may be afraid of nothing but that woman is angry and no one likes an angry Sakura,' Sasuke thought as he walked in the opposite direction of the pink haired female. Sighing once again he sat down on the side of the track field and leaned back so that he was leaning on the grass and looking at the sky.

"Looks like it is going to rain today," A familiar voice rang into his ears. He raised a brow and stared at the perfectly blue sky with puffy white clouds.

"Hn. If it's you who says so then I guess you're right," He replied to her as she sat next to him with her legs crossed. Sakura smiled down at him and a slight blush crossed her lips but as fast as it came, it left her face.

"Can I ask you a question Sasuke?"

"You already did," He answered her bluntly with a silver lining of teasing. She blushed from embarrassment from his answer and kept going.

"Why do you like Hinata? Don't answer me as the girl who has a crush on you, but as a friend," Sakura added and watched his eyes widen from the side of her eyes. He stayed silent for a while and Sakura took that as him ignoring her once again. She stood up and was about to leave when he spoke first.

"She has a beauty that I haven't seen before. It's nothing flashy or to bright, but if you really look at her then you'd notice. Her personality is something that is rare also. She appreciates silence like me. Why is it that you ask, Haruno?" Sakura smiled and from the way she was standing he couldn't see her front side.

"I just wanted to know. Oh and Sasuke," she waited for him to slightly look at her before she spoke again, "good luck," Sakura started to run away from him and he was left watching her form shrink.

Hinata smiled as she heard the bell for the beginning of lunch ring. She was starving and was already embarrassed when her stomach growled angrily and loudly in the middle of solving a problem on the board. She remembered that Misaki had forced her to put their lunch in the council room's fridge and stood from her seat to retrieve her lunch box. As she walked down the hallway she was pushed into a locker and saw the same girls surround her again. The one known as Karin smirked sadistically and the rest of their crew did as well.

"Well if it isn't the bitchy Hyuuga. Well the older one of course," Karin's comment sent a bunch of snickers around the girls. Hinata looked Karin in the eyes and spoke with authority.

"Is there something that you want Karin?" Hinata asked as her face and eyes were devoid of emotions. Karin's smirk changed into a frown then her hand raised and slapped Hinata across the face.

"You were never given the permission to call me by my first name," She hissed and a mumble of agreement was heard in the crowd.

"And to believe that Sasuke actually likes you is mediocre. You're just like a toy Hyuuga. Once you've played with it enough you'll get bored with it and put it down. Even if you do go out with Sasuke, you'll eventually get boring and he'll put you down like the trash you are," Karin was then hit in the head with a book and everyone, including Hinata, looked at the culprit. Hinata then immediately smiled a big one that would hurt her mouth if used for too long. Misaki was at the end of the hallway glaring daggers at Karin with tightened fists.

"I should've known this bitch was the one who gave you that bruise. To think a skank like you, Karin, stole my boyfriend," Misaki said with such venom that Hinata flinched and started to walk toward her.

"At least this skank can actually get a guy. When I walk by boys drop to their knees," Karin spat back with an equal amount of venom.

"Yeah, to get that nasty smelling pits out of their noses and not to mention that breath. Jeez I can smell it from all the over here," Misaki said as she covered her nose. Karin ran down the hallway at Misaki and Misaki pushed Hinata out of the way as Karin and her fell to the ground biting, punching, kicking, and pulling at each other. Hinata was about to stop them but then the other girls held her back.

"Where do you think you're going Hyuuga? Let's let them settle this on their own, don't you think," The green haired female asked as she held back Hinata. The Hyuuga heiress struggled against her hold and watched as Misaki was punched in the face by Karin.

"Misaki!" Hinata yelled before her mouth was covered with a hand. Tears streamed down her face, but then she was suddenly let free when the group of girls watching, the fight, were running away.

"What is the meaning of this nonsense?" The busty woman with blonde hair yelled as Misaki and Karin separated. Tsunade hadn't noticed Hinata in the background as she carried Misaki and Karin off, and on the way scolding them. Hinata wrapped her arms around herself, and she cried.

Naruto whistled as he walked down the hallway. He was super happy that he passed his math test. Sure he only got a 75% but for him it was better than getting a 55%. His teacher even put his test up on the board for everyone to see. So yeah, he was super duper happy. As he turned the corner he heard sniffles and muffled cries and saw Hinata on the floor. He was immediately by her side and all thoughts except for her were not in his head. All he worried about was her. Naruto picked her up bridal style and carried her to the most secluded place that he knew of. The council room. No one had entered that room unless they had a key. When he reached the door he set Hinata down on the floor and put his hands on her petite shoulders.

"Hinata, where is your key?" He asked softly and he watched as she reached behind her school shirt for the key on a string.

'Oh she has it on as a necklace,' Naruto thought as he opened the door and led her in with subtle pushing. Hinata sat on a chair and wiped the tears away and gladly accepted the tissue Naruto gave her.

"Hinata you have another bruise on your face. Who is doing this to you?" Naruto asked remembering the conversation he had with Ino.

Flashback

Naruto and Sakura entered an unused classroom and watched as Ino sat on the desk.

"Sakura go on and tell me. No one is here except for Naruto and me," Ino said coolly as she focused all attention on the pink haired female. Sakura sighed before she spoke.

"My dad is having work issues and I take the blame most of the time," Sakura admitted and crossed her arms. Naruto and Ino gasped in surprise but Ino recovered first.

"Well that is good information. Now here's your part of the deal. Hinata was being punched around by some girls in the school. They seem to be seniors and seriously in love with Sasuke," Ino said as she got off the desk.

"Do you know who they are," Naruto asked as he clenched his fists in frustration.

"Of course I do you moron but your information doesn't get much more than what I told you. Unless you have something else to get off your chest," Ino responded with a flip of her hair. She left after a few moments and Sakura and Naruto were left questioning who could hurt their little Hinata.

End of FLASHBACK

Naruto sucked his teeth at the memory and watched as Hinata stared at him like he had two heads.

"What you d-don't b-believe me?" Hinata hiccupped and then left Naruto with a question mark above his head.

"Sorry Hinata, wasn't really paying attention there what did you say?" Naruto asked feeling slightly guilty that he wasn't listening. Hinata smiled and then hiccupped again before she could speak. They both started laughing and Hinata made this mixture of a hiccup and a laugh at the end, which only caused them to laugh harder. They smiled at each other and both could forget any other thoughts at that moment. The only thing important was that they kept smiling and forgetting everything else. Nothing else mattered.

Tenten pouted as Neji continued to reject her ideas.

"C'mon Neji! Don't you want them to be happy together? I mean imagine the children they could have together!" Tenten whined as she punched Neji's back. Neji seemed unfazed and kept walking until Tenten had pulled at his hair.

"1. What is wrong with you and thinking about children already? 2. Shikamaru doesn't like Temari! He is in love with fucking Ino. 3. Get it through that dense head of yours," Neji whispered violently as he put up fingers to his counting. Tenten took offense at his last comment and pulled at his hair again.

"I am not dense! You're the one who is dense if anything else!" Tenten shouted as she kept pulling at his hair. Neji stopped walking and grabbed her wrists.

"How am I the dense one Tenten? Flatter me with your explanations," Neji said as he glared at Tenten and got closer to her face without realizing it. Though he did not notice Tenten did and flushed red at the proximity of closeness. Then she ripped free of his grip and pushed him back.

"Idiot, that! That right there! What you just did? You don't even realize what you did and that makes you dense!" Tenten yelled as her face flushed more as she missed the warmth he spread over her. They kept bickering but didn't notice that Shikamaru and Temari were watching them at a distance.

"Do you think they'll ever notice that we are here?" Shikamaru asked as they kept watching the brunettes pinch at each other. Temari shrugged and bit at her sandwich.

"Who knows? They might just stay like that forever," Temari answered and offered a bit to Shikamaru who accepted. Shikamaru took a sip of his juice and then took another bite out of her sandwich.

"Eh, so desperately in love with Ino huh?" Temari said with a sinister smile planted on her face. Shikamaru twitched and then chuckled nervously.

"What are you talking about Temari? Let's just go so that we don't miss our next class," Shikamaru said as he turned away from the bickering brunette's and sipped on his juice. Temari smirked and then wrapped her arm around his shoulder as they walked.

"Don't worry Nara, just think of the children we will have in the future," Temari said quoting Tenten with a grin on her face. Shikamaru coughed on his juice and Temari laughed at his response.

Ino smiled at her reflection in her pocket mirror and walked out of the classroom. Lunch was finally over and she had class with Sai next and it just so happened that she sat right next to him in the back. As she made her way to class she felt the eyes of everyone she passed burn into her body. She so badly wanted to just yell at them to stop but appearances were everything. Ino took her seat next to Sai and smiled brightly at him.

"Good afternoon Sai-kun!" Ino said brightly and then put her hand on his shoulder. Sai turned to look at her and nodded his head.

"Good morning Yamanaka-san," Sai replied with the infamous smile of his. Ino felt a pang in her heart but smiled anyway. She slowly took her hand off of his shoulder and readied her notes before the teacher could come in.

"Ugh! I don't want to sit in the front today, anyone want to switch?" A red headed girl asked as she looked around the classroom. Ino smirked at her whining and watched as no one took up the female's offer.

"Sure I'll switch with you for today Miranda-san," Sai said as he gathered his books and got up to move. Ino stood up quickly and tried to grip the back of his shirt, but he was already too far from her reach. Everyone except Sai stared at her with curiosity and she chuckled nervously as she sat back in her seat. Miranda took her new seat and Ino glared at her. Nothing ever went her way.
