Next chappy! Don't worry! I AM NOT GOING TO PAIR THE OOC CHARACTERS WITH THE GIRLS!

Chapter 11

"One strawberry cake coming up!" Sakura rushed inside and took the plate.

She went out and handed it to the customer.

"Thanks!" the guy took a bite. "This is delicious! I'm going to have to tell all of my friends to come here!"

"Arigatou! Come again!" Sakura turned to the next customer. "Yes! How may I help you?"

"Business has grown so much these past few days! I love your cakes Tamiko!" the old woman said. Let's just call her Shoryu.

"Thanks! I make the cakes, Ino decorates them." Hinata admitted.

"Well, you're really good at decorating cakes then," Ryoichi complimented. Ino blushed in response.

"Nyoko is really good at attracting customers," Hiroshi mused while watching the girl's cheerful chatter.(He's talking about Sakura!)

"What do you do?" Masaki asked.

"I make the drinks," Tenten said.

"I do that too. Let me help you. Then, I'll challenge you to a spar," Masaki grinned at her. Tenten grinned back.

"Hello! How may I help you?" Sakura cheerfully asked.

"Hn." The voice replied.

A vein popped in Sakura's forehead. "Excuse me, but I do not know what HN means."

"Hn." The voice replied again.

"Who do you thin-" Sakura looked up at the person. Sasuke was standing right in front of her.

"Well, aren't you going to take his order?" Naruto asked behind him.

"Huh? Oh yeah!" Sakura immediately snapped out of it.

"I forgot they didn't know us! And what are they doing here?" Sakura frantically thought.

"Do you make tomato cakes?" Sasuke asked in a monotone

"Well sorry, but an idiot could only think of making tomato cakes," Sakura replied.

Sasuke just glared at her.

"Nyoko! Here's the tapioca you said………….." Tenten drawled off when she saw the boys.

"Oh thanks!" Sakura took it from her. Tenten gave her a worried glance.

Neji eyed the brown-haired girl. Her hair was in a high ponytail.

"Where have I seen her before?" Neji wondered.

Then, the door's bells rang again. Sakura looked to fine Rei, Mika, Keiko, Aiko, Kiyoshi, Akiyama, Fujita, and Taku headed in.

Sakura instantly beamed. "Rei-chan!"

Rei looked at her strangely. "Who are you?"

Sakura mentally slapped herself for her mistake. "Uh, won't you 4 like to try our cakes? Come right this way!" Sakura pushed the four of them in.

"Sakiko! Hikaru! Tamiko! Come here!" Sakura called. Instantly, her friends came.

"We should tell them," Tenten nodded.

"Tell us what?" Keiko asked.

"Can't you tell our familiar chakras?" Tenten put her hair in two buns. Ino and Sakura took off their wigs while Hinata just took her hair out of her braids.

"Ino-sensei!" Mika instantly rushed over.

"Why are you dressed up in that?" Rei asked them.

"Just want to spend time without being ourselves. Need the money too. Don't tell anybody though!" Sakura warned.

"Why not?" Mika asked.

"We want to keep it a secret," Hinata winked.

"A-Ano, when are we going to train today?" Aiko asked her.

"We'll train in the afternoon. Meet us at the regular training grounds!" Hinata shooed them out of the kitchen.

"YO! IS THERE ANYBODY IN THERE? WHO'S GOING TO TAKE OUR ORDERS?" Naruto's booming voice called.

Hinata instantly rushed out.

"How may I help you?" Hinata asked.

"One ramen cake! One tomato cake, one chocolate cake, and one cookies'n cream cake!" Naruto said.

"Ok! Coming right up!" Hinata got their orders and handed them to Naruto.

"Thanks for coming!" Hinata smiled at Naruto.

He could feel his heart speeding up at the warm smile.

"Yo Tamiko! Try this blueberry cake I made," Kishotsu had a piece of blueberry cake and a fork.

Hinata was about to reach for it. But Kishotsu already forked out a piece and put it in front of her face. Hinata gave him a questioning glance. Kishotsu smiled.

"Open your mouth," He commended.

Hinata blushed while shyly opening her mouth. Kishotsu popped it in.

Naruto however, was fuming mad for some reason.

"Why am I mad? I just met her for a couple of minutes and I'm already jealous? Is there something wrong with me?" Naruto asked himself. (A.N. love-anime: Yes Naruto, there is something wrong with you.)

Hinata chewed the cake slowly. "It's very good!"

Kishotsu beamed. "Then it's on the menu!"

"Neh, what's your name?" Naruto casually asked Hinata.

"It's Hi- No, Tamiko," Hinata scolded herself for making the obvious mistake.

"Tamiko huh…………. Nice name!" Naruto grinned at her.

"I'm glad he's turning back to his old self," Hinata sighed happily.

"YO TAMIKO! LOOK AT THIS MASTERPIECE!" Ino yelled while carrying a HUGE towering chocolate cake. Unfortunately, she couldn't see where she was going.

"WHAT DID YOU DO YOU TROUBLESOME WOMAN????????!!!!!!!!!"

"Ehehehe, oops?" Ino laughed nervously.

Unfortunately for our little Shika here, Ino just happened to run into him while getting cake all over him in the process.

Ino giggled at the chocolate covered Shika. He had chocolate all over him. He was trying to get it off his face.

"You missed at spot," Ino pointed out. She reached forward and licked off the little chocolate smudge on his left cheek.

Shika suddenly wished the chocolate was back on his face. He was now blushing like a fire engine.

"Anyway, we have some extra clothes. Come towards the back with me please," Ino left chocolate footprints on the floor.

Ino took out 2 towels while rubbing her face off. She also handed Shikamaru a new T-shirt.

Shikamaru took off his shirt in the process.

Ino instantly turned bright pink.

"Uhhhhhhhhh, there is a bathroom," Ino pointed to her left.

Shikamaru smirked. "Enjoying the view?"

The comment made Ino blush more. "NO WAY!"

After 5 torturing minutes, he finally cleaned himself up and put the new T-shirt on. Ino breathed out a sigh of relief. She didn't know how much longer she could last.

Shikamaru glanced at her. "You look very familiar."

Ino started to panic. "There's nobody that I look familiar to! It must be your imagination!"

"Maybe………………………."

They went outside to find an annoyed Tenten. She was cleaning up the big mess.

"THANKS FOR THE GREAT HELP! I APPRECIATE CLEANING UP A 2 FOOT CAKE!"

"Ummmmmmm…………………. Sorry?" Ino instantly ran away for fear of her life.

"AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ino bumped into something hard while causing her to topple over. She was instantly caught by two strong arms.

"Are you alright?" the voice asked. Ino looked up to find Ryoichi.

"Thanks Ryoichi-kun," Ino smiled. She didn't notice the pair of eyes glaring at them.

"What the hell?" Shikamaru was very annoyed. In his opinion, this scene was very troublesome to look at.

"Get a room!" Tenten hollered. Ino and Ryoichi turned red. Shikamaru did too, but not in embarrassment.

Soon, the boys did leave in the end much to the girls' disappointment.

"That was tiring," Sakura collapsed onto the floor.

"Who ever knew work could be sooooooooooo hard?" Ino sat down next to Sakura.

"Great, we even have fanclubs in Sound. This is so not my day," Tenten groaned.

They reached the rooms. Each girl separated and headed inside.

Naruto and Hinata…………………………………….

Hinata opened the door to find Naruto sitting on the bed impatiently.

"Where were you Hinata-chan? You do know its midnight do you?" Naruto was very serious.

"Uhhhhhhhh……………" Hinata did not want to tell him that she was working for 10 hours straight, 4 hours training, and spending 1 hour running away from fanboys. She decided she'll stick with the fanboys excuse.

"I had to run away from some stalkers," Hinata replied while sitting on the bed.

"YOU HAVE STALKERS???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Um, yes? They're just fanboys Naruto," Hinata tried to reason……

"I'M GOING TO TEAR THEM TO PIECES! THEY'LL BE ROASTED! THEY'LL GET HIT 1,000 TIMES WITH MY RASENGAN!"

"Naruto…………why do you care so much if I have a fanclub in Sound? This is nothing compared to Konoha. In Konoha, almost every boy wants to be with Sakura, Tenten, Ino, or me," Hinata said.

Naruto calmed down for one second. "At least Porno-sensei doesn't like you."

"Actually, he always goes to my front steps every night so I can be a model for Icha Icha Paradise."

Cricket, cricket, silence…………………………………………

"WHHHHATTTTTTTTTTTTT?????????????????"

Neji and Tenten…………………………………..

Tenten opened the door. Neji was lying on his bed. He sat up when Tenten headed inside.

"Do not ask me what happened," Tenten said.

"Fine.………………….What happened?"

Tenten slapped her forehead. " I JUST TOLD YOU NOT TO ASK ME THAT!!!!!!!!"

"What happened?"

Tenten sighed, knowing that she wasn't going to get anywhere.

"I was just spending time with my friends and this HOT new boy I met! He's so sweet!!!!!!!!!" Tenten gushed at the thought of Masaki.

Neji growled lowly.

"And he has this amazing orange hair. It remind me of an orange! Oranges are my favorite fruit! He also LOVES weapons like me and he even got me a kunai with my name on it! See!" Tenten took out the kunai and showed it to Neji.

Neji glared at the innocent kunai.

"Hn, I'm going to bed." With that, he turned the lights off and went under the covers.

"IT'S NOT POLITE TO TURN THE LIGHTS OFF WHEN ANOTHER PERSON IS TRYING TO FIND HER WAY TO THE BATHROOM!!!!!!!!!" With that, a loud crashing sound echoed in the hallway. It was followed by a "I BROKE MY TOE!"

Shikamaru and Ino…………………………….

Ino collapsed in front of the door. In truth, the chocolate cake tired her out.

Shikamaru heard a thump against the door and heavy breathing. He opened it to find Ino on the ground.

"Don't ask," with that, Ino closed her eyes tiredly while falling asleep.

"Troublesome girl," Shikamaru muttered while picking Ino up.

He placed her besides him and looked at her peaceful face.

He also noticed that there was a smudge of chocolate on her forehead. He carefully licked it off.

The action reminded of what the girl at the café did today. He blushed before also falling asleep.

Sakura and Sasuke…………………………..

Sakura threw open the door. It instantly woke Sasuke up who was having a peaceful and QUIET sleep.

"Must you wake me up in the middle of the night?" Sasuke muttered tiredly.

"Geez! You're even worse than Kiyoshi when I wake him up in the morning!"

At the mention of this Kiyoshi guy, Sasuke shot up.

"Who is Kiyoshi?" he asked suspiciously.

Sakura grew tense. "Uh, this HOT new guy I met!" In her mind, she was currently cursing at Kiyoshi for "accidently" dumping flour on her.

Sasuke growled.

"Uh, he has amazing cool hair! He's so laid back and cool that it makes him instantly SEXYLICIOUS! He also is really sweet to me too!" In Sakura's mind however, she was saying the exact opposite.

"Whatever, I'm going to bed." Sasuke lied back down.

"UCHICHA! DID YOU STEAL MY TOMATOES THAT I LEFT HERE THIS MORNING?"

What a troublesome day…………………….
