Chapter 11- Happy Single Awareness Day! Part 1
"This sucks...," Ino said one day, after a girl get together, "It's almost that day and I absolutely have no one," She layed her head against the table and wailed in her hands, "I'M A LONER!!!"
Hinata sitting across from her, patted her head, "Ino, your not a loser."
Sakura sitting near her, commented, "Yeah, you're just pitiful."
"I'M A PITIFUL LOSER!!!!"
Tenten shot Sakura a glare from across the table, "Thanks a lot, Ms. Sensitive."
Sakura shrugged, "Not my problem."
"I'M GOING TO BE THAT OLD FAT CAT LADY WHOS A CLOSET PERVERT!!!!"
Every turned to look at her, and I mean everyone, Hinata shot the passing buyers a Hyuga glare which promptly got rid of them, while Tenten and Sakura were debating between laughing their lungs out or trying to run towards the nearest asylum.
Sakura raised an eyebrow, "Ino…that was a little too much information."
Ino raised a teary face, "But I am…"
Tenten sighed and shook her head, "No, you're not. Stop telling yourself that."
Hinata nodded, "Totally, you could have any guy you wanted if you stopped being picky about it."
A sniffle came out of Ino, "Really?"
"Of course," Hinata said. She turned to Tenten, "Isn't that right, Tenten?"
Tenten quickly nodded, noting the expression on Hinata's face, "Of course, you could have any guy you wanted. Don't you agree, Sakura?" Sakura, quickly came back to Konoha after a nice kick from a certain bun-haired girl, managed to come up with an intelligent, eloquent response, "Huh?" …ok, fine intelligent and eloquent in Naruto's standards. Tenten had a sudden twitch in her eye, "I said, don't you think that Ino could get any guy she wants?" She placed a silent death wish in her expression. Sakura pondered a bit, "Sure any guy you wanted, except-" She paused after feeling Hinata's glare on her and tried to grope for any answer that wouldn't get her killed, "Except for…" Sakura desperately looked around for some kind of hint and the light bulb turned on, "gay guys! That's right, you can't get gay guys. They're already on the other side of the rainbow." She ended with a grin. Ino sniffled again, "I guess your right," She smeared her mascara again, "I'll just try again. This time no guy with be able to resist me," she ended with a dramatic pose.
"Except for gay guys," Sakura, Tenten, and Hinata droned at the same time.
"Right," Ino said. She would have continued when Naruto ran up all of a sudden and landed on their table, or close to it. The girls looked down at him in amazement.
"What happened, Naruto? Big sale on Ramen?" Sakura asked.
Naruto panted, "That's not until next week," he started, before redirecting himself, "Say, you wouldn't helping a guy out would you?" He was met with 4 curious looks that all said the same thing, "What are you planning?"
He raised his hands in self-defense, "I'm not planning anything, I swear! I just need help finding a Valentine's day gift for someone special."
Somewhere in Hinata's heart died and shriveled, "Sure, we can help a guy in desperate need."
Naruto heaved a huge sigh, "Thanks so much. You guys are a lifesave, seriously," he said with a grave look, "So what do you girls expect from guys?"
"Are you going from this as being the girl's boyfriend?" Sakura asked.
Naruto tilted his head in confusion, "Is this a trick questions?"
Sakura sighed, "No Naruto. It is not a trick question."
He brightened instantly, "Then yes."
Tenten and Hinata nodded in understanding. "Then for a girlfriend, they really aren't into the commercial Valentine's day thing. Don't worry about it."
Naruto looked in amazement, "That's it?"
Tenten nodded.
"Thanks a lot! Bye!" Naruto said as he ran off.
The girls looked at each other. Ino started, "You know your killing him, right?"
"Yup," Tenten said, taking a sip of her drink.
"And you're totally fine with that?" Ino questioned.
"If he's getting it for a girlfriend, then he should be in the same boat as all boyfriends," Tenten decided.
"And what boat would that be?" Ino asked.
Hinata and Sakura supplied the answer instantly, "Clueless."
While Naruto's demise was being planned from far away, Naruto was clueless about it.
"GUESS WHAT GUYS!?! I GOT THE INFO-" Naruto was promptly stopped by a fist to the face.
"Shut up dobe, you'll wake the dead," Sasuke said.
"So what did you find out?" Kiba asked. The other guys, being Neji, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Rock Lee, and Shino, watched curious too.
"Girls…" everyone listened in anticipation, "want anything for Valentine's day." Everyone except for Naruto and Rock Lee fell to the ground.
"OF COURSE!! Why didn't we think so for ourselves!?!" Rock Lee asked in amazement.
Neji's fist plowed into the back of Rock Lee's head, "Because that isn't the answer."
"But that's what they said, word for word," Naruto exclaimed.
"Word for word?" Shikamaru asked.
"…well…close"
"Well, if they said so, then it must be true!" Rock Lee exclaimed.
"Or it could be a trick," Shino said, amazing I know.
"He's right. Girls do these kinds of riddles to mess with our heads," Kiba agreed while Akamaru yipped in agreement.
"So what do we do?" Naruto asked.
"We try to think like them," Sasuke decided, "It shouldn't be so hard now, shouldn't it?"
Silence passed for a moment before a loud sigh.
"…So we get them nothing?" Rock Lee asked, before all the other guys…and a dog, jumped him.
