"It was so obvious he was jealous! But I really don't understand him at all! I mean we have been broken up for like what? A month now, and Neji and I have really been getting along, it's nothing serious, we go out sometimes and he can be really sweet. But I mean, why is Sai getting jealous now?" Yen was talking to her friends again, though she was rabbling a little Amaya, Hinata, and Sakura.

"Well, he has serious issues with emotions, maybe he just doesn't know which ones he should control and which ones are good to let fly," Amaya said. Though she was happy that Neji had managed to cheer Yen up and help her get over Sai, she still wasn't sure how comfortable she was with her best friend dating her twin brother.

"Yeah, that's a really good thought," Sakura said, having told Sasuke off over the last couple of weeks she seemed a LOT happier and her friends had noticed. It was nice having the happy go lucky Sakura back.

"Maybe he just didn't know how to control his attraction to Ino, but he still cares about you. I bet he doesn't know what to do with his love or jealousy," Amaya continued with her theory, twirling her hair and she lay on her bed in the Huyga compound.

"Hmm, maybe, but I'm not going to worry about it. I should have never gotten involved with him in the first place! It was really reckless of me to date someone who has no idea what emotions are!" Yen threw up the hand in the air that wasn't holding the phone as she paced around her bedroom. She could never sit still while talking on it.

"What do you think Hinata?" Sakura asked, though Hinata was usually quite she was exceptionally quite today.

"Sorry, what?" Hinata said as embarrassment became obvious in her voice. All of the girls could picture her blushing face.

"What's up Hinata?" Yen asked, it wasn't like Hinata to not pay attention. Yen knew she could talk a lot but she also knew that Hinata would always listen, so this was very strange.

"Um, well, ah, I-ah-have some news," clutched her own phone and blushed furiously.

"Spit it out, Cuz!" Amaya cried.

"I went on a date with Naruto," she said.

"…" Silence.

"What!?" all three others said at the same time.

"Are you serious!? Here I've just been babbling and you have this! You totally should have said something sooner!" Yen cried shocked but overjoyed for her friend.

"Holy shit, when did this happen!?" Amaya yelled.

"Tell us everything!" Sakura said, smiling as she pictured Hinata trying to comprehend this as much as any of them.

"Well, he-ah-was training and I was, um, watching him, and then he saw me and called me over…then, um, he, ah, well he-"

"Say it already!" Amaya yelled again.

"He asked me if I wanted to get ramen with him, and I said yes!" she said in a rush.

"…" More silence.

"Guys?" Hinata asked.

"Wow Hinata that's so great!" Sakura said trying to be cheerful. None one really wanted to tell Hinata that 1) watching him train was creepy and 2) that probably wasn't a date to Naruto.

"Yea, awesome," Yen said.

"…" Nothing from Amaya's end.

"Amaya?" Hinata asked.

"Cuz, I hate to tell you this, but I don't really think that counts as a date. That's more like to friends going to lunch." Sakura and Yen gasped, Amaya had said it!

"Oh…he considers me a friend…"

"That's okay Hinata! Friends make the best relationships!" Yen said, afraid Hinata would start crying.

"I'm sure if he knew how you felt it would be different!" Sakura chimed in.

"No, that's good. He thinks of me as a-a-a friend," the there was a thud from Hinata's line.

"Hinata?!" Yen and Sakura cried, panicked.

"It's okay guys, she just fainted from happiness. I'll go take care of her. Talk to you later," Amaya said.

"Yeah, bye," Yen said.

"See yea," Sakura said.

Amaya hung up; Hinata's line went off soon after as Amaya reached her cousin's room. Then it was just Yen and Sakura.

"Hey, how are you doing?" Yen asked, she was still worried about Sakura.

"I'm doing really well, honestly," Sakura replied.

"Good," Yen said, relieved.

"Actually, I think I might have found someone new," Sakura said, trying to sound casual.

"OMG, details!" Yen squealed.

"You will never guess!"

"Who?"

"Kiba Inazuka!" Sakura shrieked and flopped down on her bed smiling like crazy.

"No way! Are you serious!?" Yen said.

"Yes way! We both happened to be at the training ground, and I was trying to get better at throwing kunai because, well, let's face I suck, but anyway, he came over and asked if I wanted some pointers. He did that cute thing were the guy stands behind you and wraps his arms around you positions you the right way and I hit the bull's eye. But my heart was beating like crazy! And I could hardly speak, but somehow I spit out thank you, and he didn't let go right away! I was freaking out on the inside! I've seen him a couple times since, and he's flirted with me a little, but I'm just so freakin' happy!" Sakura said, breathless by the end.

"One word, wow," Yen said.

"I know right!" Sakura squealed.

"You and Hinata have been keeping secrets!" Yen teased.

"Guilty as charged," Sakura said, smiling from ear to ear just thinking about Kiba.

"But you're right, I never would have guess, Kiba Inuzuka, wow," Yen whistled.

"And that's not all, we are going to diner tomorrow," Sakura said.

"Dang girl!" Yen said, Sakura laughed. They talked a little longer about what Sakura should wear on her date and when she should tell the others. By the time they hung up it was already past 11pm.

Yen laid the phone back in its cradle and went downstairs to make some hot chocolate. Ajax was snoozing on the couch, and Yen smiled at him lovingly. Things were finally starting to look up, for all of them.
