Sakura was waiting impatiently in her cabin for Kin to fall asleep. As she sat there she thought back to last week's event.
~Flashback~
Kakashi grabbed Sakura and kissed her. She quickly pushed him away, "What are you doing? You're kissing me now?!"
He placed a finger to his lips, "Sssssh someone will hear you."
"I can't believe you!" She tried walking away but Kakashi grabbed her arm.
"Wait a second Sakura first you are all hot for me and now your cold?"
"You weren't into me."
He threw his hands in the air, "Of course I was interested! But you are a co-worker and also a minor! I'm ten years older than you."
She crossed her arms, "What's different now?"
"Nothing I'm just tired of fighting you. If you still want to do this we have to keep it quiet."
Sakura couldn't believe what she was hearing, "Of-f c-course."
Kakashi sighed and pulled Sakura into a hug, "Good."
~End Flashback~
Sakura looked over and saw Kin was fast asleep. She pulled the hood of her sweatshirt, slipped on her flip flops and snuck out of her cabin and over to Kakashi's. Once she got there Kakashi quickly pulled her inside. "You're late."
She pulled down her hood, "Sorry but Kin took forever to fall asleep. Besides why am I the one that has to always sneak out."
He closed all the curtains, "It's just easier this way."
She sat down on Kakashi's bed, "You're just lazy. Oh before I forget Kin is going to chaperone the campfire for me tomorrow night."
"I thought you were assigned the campfire."
"I switched with her because I have a date with Lee."
"LEE? You're still seeing Lee?"
She shrugged she didn't know why he seemed upset. "Of course I am. You told me that we weren't serious besides you had dinner with Anko last night."
He sat down next to her on her bed, "It's not the same."
"Yes it is, now you told me not to take things to seriously. Dating Lee will make sure that happens."
"Fine."
She wrapped her arms around him, "Now can we stop arguing you have me for only an hour before I go back to my cabin."
He wrapped his arms around her, "Well I better make good use of my time."
~Hinata~
Hinata raced to the restaurant in her sparkly black bubble dress and her hair in a loose bun. Sasuke was waiting for her outside the restaurant. "Finally my parents are already inside with Itachi."
Hinata didn't like the tone in Sasuke's voice, "S-Sorry I got lost."
He opened the door for her, "It's ok I just really wish we didn't have to eat with them."
"Why are you so upset about eating with your parents?"
Sasuke lead her through the restaurant, "You'll see." He stopped in front of a table of three people. "Hinata this is my mother Mikoto, father Fugaku and brother Itachi."
His mother smiled, "So you're the girl that Sasuke spends all his time with?"
She blushed at the comment as she sat down at the table. "Y-Yeah."
"I'm sure Karin wouldn't like that?" Her mother laughed at her own joke which was lost on Hinata.
"W-Who's K-Karin?"
"Sasuke's girlfriend back home of course."
Hinata couldn't believe what she was hearing but decided to pretend like she was ok. She looked over at Sasuke who was avoiding her, "Of course."
Sasuke only response to his mother was, "Hinata it's just a good friend."
Hinata pretended to be ok for the rest of dinner when it was over Sasuke's father asked him to have a talk with him and his mother outside. Leaving Hinata alone with a smirking Itachi, "You're fucking my brother aren't you?"
"N-NO!"
He actually looked surprised, "Really? Wow I'm shocked, anyway Hinata you seem like a nice girl. So I'm going to give you some advice. Stay away from my brother unless you want your heart broken."
"So he really does have a girlfriend?"
"Yeah they've been dating for over a year now."
All she could say was, "Wow." Itachi walked her out to meet Sasuke.
Sasuke waited for his parents to and Itachi to leave in their car before saying anything to her. "So you want to hang out at your place or we can go out somewhere."
It took her a moment to drum up every ounce of courage in her body, "N-No…I don't w-want to g-go anywhere with you."
"Why?"
"Are you s-serious? You have a girlfriend! H-How could you not tell me?"
He shook his head, "It's no big deal. I'm not really with her………………………..it's complicated. I didn't think it was important so I didn't tell you."
Hinata tried to stay calm but it wasn't working. She felt like a huge idiot and was so embarrassed the next few worlds just spilled out of her mouth. "I hate you! I don't ever want to see you again." Hinata turned around and raced away from Sasuke as fast as she could.
~Tenten~
Tenten was racing towards the dress shop with Neji fast on her heels. "I told you we didn't have time for that fifth game of basketball."
Neji just chuckled, "We were tied two games apiece we had to break the tie. Which I did when I won the game seven to five thank you very much."
She hid her smile she and Neji had been spending a lot of time together. They didn't mention the kiss but Tenten thought about it constantly. "I let you win. Now hurry up if I miss this dress fitting mom will kill me."
"Is this going to take long? I don't want to be late for the movies."
"I thought we were going to dinner."
"We are after the movie, by the way are we still going to the arcade tomorrow?"
"Yes and I'm going to kick your ass at air hockey!"
They got the dress shop and Neji held the door open for her, "Yeah we'll see about that."
The dress shop owner was a friend of the family named Carrie and recognized Tenten immediately. "Tenten look at you! I can't believe how fast you've grown up. Now into the dressing room your dress is all ready."
Carrie put her arm around Tenten and brought her to the back. When Tenten was behind the curtain Carrie asked, "So is that your boyfriend out there? He is really handsome, you picked a winner."
"He's not my boyfriend."
"Are you sure? He likes you I can tell."
Tenten decided t ignore the comment and decide to just focus on the dress. She starred at the dress bag afraid to see the dress her mother picked out. She slowly unzipped the bag to see a light blue strapless short dress, with a little white sash around the middle. She was surprised her mother actually picked this out for her. She stepped out of the dressing room as Carrie gasped. "You look gorgeous. Come on to the mirrors it has better lighting there."
Tenten followed Carrie to the mirrors where Neji was now sitting. "Well mister what do you think?"
Neji looked up, "You look……..like a girl."
Tenten rolled her eyes, "Thanks."
When she looked at herself in the mirror she could have sworn she caught Neji checking her out. Carrie had just finished pinning the dress when she heard her cell phone ring. She ran to the dressing room to get it, "Hello?"
On the other line was Ino, "Finally! I thought you fell off the face of the earth!"
Tenten had been missing in action from her friends lately. "I'm sorry I've just been really busy. Neji and I…."
Ino groaned loudly, "Neji! Not you too first it's Sakura who has two not one but two guys! Then Hinata is like I can't talk I have to see Sasuke. And now you are all about Neji. What is it with you three and boys?"
"What about Naruto? Hinata told me you really liked him but didn't want to admit it."
"Well she was wrong, so wrong! Besides he's been gone for a week with his godfather. He…..didn't even say goodbye."
Tenten could tell something was up, "There is something you're not telling me."
She sighed, "I kind of sort of…..made out with him."
"INO!"
"I know it was wrong and he left in the middle of it. He just said he couldn't do it, and I don't know why. I mean he makes out with almost every other girl he meets and can't with me. Is something wrong with me?"
Tenten cradled the phone in between her ear and shoulder as she changed out of the dress. "No of course not….maybe you should ask him. I know it'll be hard but I know you. You're going to drive yourself crazy if you don't know."
Ino knew she was right just than she heard a car pull up she peaked out her window to see Naruto get out of the car with his godfather. She sarcastically said, "Lucky me he just got home."
"He must have known you need him."
Just than outside the dressing room Neji yelled, "Hurry up Tenten we are going to miss the previews!"
Tenten yelled back, "Wait a minute you are so freaking impatient!"
"And you're freaking slow!"
"Just shut up and go wait for me at the front of the store!" She could tell Neji was rolling his eyes as she stomped away. "Sorry about that Ino."
Ino giggled, "You two so like each other. You've got that whole love hate relationship. I'm surprised you two haven't made out already."
Tenten hadn't told anyone of her friends about the kisses, "Y-Yeah."
She gasped, "YOU DID! YOU KISSED NEJI! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!"
"S-Sorry got to go…I'll call you later."
"You better and I want all the details."
~Ino~
Ino hung up her phone with Tenten and peaked out her window again Naruto had already entered the house. "What am I going to do?" Before she could have a second to think she heard Naruto call her name.
She took a deep breath before walking out to her balcony. "H-Hi."
He had gotten a tan while he was away and standing there in his jeans and tight black tee made Ino's mouth water. "Hey……how've you been?"
She hated the fact that he was talking to her like just a regular neighbor, "How've I been? You were gone for a week not a year!"
"I just wanted to see if you were ok since I didn't see your father's car in the drive way."
She crossed her arms and looked away, "Yes I'm all right."
"Ok then."
He started to turn around when she said, "Is that it? You're going to pretend you didn't walk out of my house after kissing me?"
She could tell he was hoping she would never mention that. "It's complicated, forget about it."
"No! Do you take pity on me Naruto?! I don't need your pity!"
He turned around to face her, "I don't pity you how could you think I do that?!"
"Then what is it? You make out with every other girls but why not me?"
"BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT LIKE THEM OK! NOW JUST LEAVE ME ALONE OK? I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU ANYMORE!" Naruto walked into his room and slammed his balcony door.
Ino couldn't believe him, "He doesn't want to see me that's just fine. I am done with Naruto!"
