Chapter 14: With the Girls
"Tenten," Sakura said. "Your being quieter than usual."
"What?" Tenten asked.
"Is everything okay?" Ino asked.
"Yeah," Tenten said. "It's just that I keep thinking about that day after school when we played truth or dare."
"When?" Temari asked.
"When I had band rehearsal and Hinata was healing Kiba's scratch," Tenten said.
"I-I remember," Hinata said.
"Really?" Sakura asked.
"Well what are you thinking about?" Ino asked. "Did you get dared to kiss somebody?"
"Yeah," Tenten said. "I got dare to kiss somebody, but I hated it. I don't want to think about that."
"Who did you have to kiss?" Temari asked.
"Naruto," Tenten said. "But, what I'm thinking about is what he was asking all of us."
"What did he ask you?" Sakura asked.
"He asked us all if we liked somebody," Tenten said.
"Well," Ino said. "What did you all answer?"
"Shikamaru started it with a truth, and he said he did like somebody," Tenten said. "But, I can't tell you who it is."
"Darn," Temari said. "Well, what did the rest of you answer?"
"I answered yes," Tenten said. "Sasuke no, Neji no, Naruto yes, Hinata yes, Kiba yes, and Hanabi likes someone too."
"Who's Hanabi?" Sakura asked.
"M-My little s-sister," Hinata said.
"You like someone Tenten?" Ino asked, getting excited. "Why didn't you tell us?"
"Because, I didn't recognize it until last night," Tenten said.
"You like Naruto?!" Temari asked.
"NO!" Tenten said.
"Then who?" Sakura asked.
"I know who Naruto likes too," Tenten said. "He likes you, Sakura."
"Really?" Sakura asked.
"He said you were the most amazing girl ever," Tenten said.
"That's really sweet," Sakura said.
"Don't try to change the subject," Ino said. "We're asking who you like Tenten."
"I like somebody," Sakura said.
"Tenten first, then Sakura," Temari said.
"Fine," Tenten said. "I'll tell you."
"Well," Ino said. "Who is it?"
"Neji Hyuga," Tenten said. "I don't know why I like him though."
"Really?" Temari asked. "You don't?"
"No," Tenten said.
"Sakura, who do you like?" Ino asked.
"Sasuke Uchiha," Sakura said. "But, I don't know why I do. And after hearing what Naruto said, I really don't know why."
"I like somebody," Ino said.
"Who?" Temari asked.
"I… I… I really can't tell you," Ino said.
"Why not?" Sakura asked.
"Because," Ino said. "I... I… I just can't."
"Because you're not sure if you like him anymore?" Tenten asked.
"Or, because he's seeing another girl?" Temari asked.
"He's seeing another girl," Ino said. "But I really don't want to talk about it."
"It's okay," Sakura said. "We understand."
"Temari," Tenten said. "Do you like anybody?"
"At the moment, no," Temari said. "But later in time, maybe."
Tenten let out a sigh.
"Are you still trying to figure out why you like Neji?" Ino asked.
"Yes," Tenten said. "And I'm also remembering that he said he didn't like any one."
"I'm sorry Tenten," Temari said.
Sakura let out a sigh.
"Sasuke?" Ino asked.
"Yep," Sakura said. "And didn't he say he didn't like anybody?"
"Yep," Tenten said.
"Then," Sakura said. "Maybe I should try things with Naruto, I mean, he is really sweet."
Ino let out a sigh.
"It's okay Ino," Temari said. "You'll get him someday, or, like somebody else."
"Your right," Ino said. "I have nothing to worry about."
With Gaara and Matsuri
"Matsuri," Gaara said. "Would I have walked into the hall by myself if I wanted somebody with me?"
"I just wanted to make sure you're okay," Matsuri said. "Did she hurt you?"
"Who, Sakura?" Gaara asked. "She didn't hurt me, she was trying to help."
"Well, it looks like she's not doing a good job," Matsuri said. "Where's Temari?"
"In the cafeteria," Gaara said.
"Thank you," Matsuri said, and ran back into the cafeteria.
"Temari!" Matsuri yelled, running over to Temari.
"Matsuri?" Temari asked once she turned around.
"Temari, I need your help," Matsuri said.
"What are you doing here?" Temari asked.
"I transferred here," Matsuri said.
"It's great to see you," Temari said.
"You too," Matsuri said. "But listen, I need some advice."
"Sit down," Temari said. "I'll be glad to help."
