Couples are Sasuke and Sakura, Ino and Sai, Naruto and Hinata, Tenten and Neji, Shikamaru and Temari, Gaara and Matsuri, Karin and Suigetsu.

"You know Sakura_chan your pretty cute, I'd like to draw or paint you." Deidara examined the pinkette from head to toe. He place a hand on his chin rubbing it slowly he gave her a small chuckle.

Sakura felt very uncomfortable by this. She had come into the kitchen to assist Mikoto in carrying desert to everyone. But when the woman left Deidara appeared and stopped her from leaving. He had come to 'help', but really he wasn't, he just had the girl cornered. "Um thanks, but no thanks, what you could do is take these out and serve them." She pushed two plates of marble cake and chocolate chip cookies in his hands making him step back a little.

He took them backing of from her even further when he realised she was getting the wrong idea. "It's not like that Sakura, it's just I'm a artist an your just an inspiration, yea."

This seemed to gain Sakura's interest; she gathered two more plates onto a tray. She suddenly wanted to know more for she loved art, this is something she got from her dad. When she was little he always took her to a museum or art festivals. "Is that so, well I'm sort of honoured by this, I love art." Sakura found it easy to speak to him now, before she thought he was a creep. He even had tattoo of teasing mouths on each palm, that's creepy, but she notice he's just an art lover.

More so than she was, that was for sure, but he seemed less creepy to her now.

"Are you two okay in here?" Mikoto came in investigating the both of them.

To Sakura's surprise Mikoto had found out Sakura's crush on her younger son and supported it years ago. Sakura was happy for that because it'll be horrible if the guy she loved mother hated her. Plus Mikoto promised not to tell anyone her secret, although she could be very blunt with her intensions when she tried to get Sasuke to spend time with Sakura. "Yea we're coming Mikoto_sama." Sakura smiled to Deidara nudging him to come along with her.

...

Sakura really liked Itachi's friends; Kisame was really cool about everything. The only thing off was he liked sharks; he was sort of obsess with them. Hidan was a goofball, she enjoyed his company allot, he kept everyone laughing. Mikoto and Fugaku had left for bed early so the kids will have some time to hang out.

Itachi kept patting Hidan on the back congratulating him on going a whole evening without using up seen language.

Chieri was awesome; she would have fit in perfectly with her group, Sakura thought. But Chieri was nineteen years; she wouldn't want to hang out with a bunch of sixteen year olds right.

Sasuke had come to like and accept Chieri and Kisame but he seemed to dislike Deidara and Hidan. He didn't trust them with Sakura.

The night went over smoothly and Sakura looked forward to getting to know more about them. It's too bad they won't be staying in Konoha very long.

...

Tenten was worried; Neji had text her telling her he's really busy and that he couldn't talk right now. Then he asked her to meet him this Saturday that he wanted to tell her something important. 'Saturday that's a day from now', she thought, it made her nervous.

She tried calling Hinata but Hinata didn't answer. She knew something was up and she just had to get to the bottom of this. She knew what she had to do now.

She called up RockLee, Kiba and Shino for operation 'Stalk the Hyugas.' Kiba and Shino where the closes guy friends Hinata had and RockLee and herself where close to Neji. They had agreed to meet her and investigate this further as true friends would do.

If Hinata and Neji didn't want to tell her what was going on she would have to find out with the help of their other friends. The two suppose to know they could come to her with any problem and she would help without a second thought.

...

Matsuri sat at the table for two and waited patiently. Gaara had agreed to meet her for breakfast to 'catch up' on things. It felt like a date to her but she pushed those thoughts away, she had to keep her cool.

If she kept thinking like that her nerves would break her down to a mess. She knew she was early but she needed to be. Why? Simply because she had to ready herself, for when he showed up that is. "Hm. Matsuri, you're early." She looked up from her phone, which she was blankly staring at and smiled. She hadn't prepared herself for him coming early as well.

...

Sari was hanging out with Karin, Sakura and Temari. She wished all her friends could have been here since she was leaving tomorrow. It wasn't their fault they just had plans and things to do. She was sure if she had told them or asked them they would have put off their plans just for her. She knew Ino was off with Sai and Matsuri with Gaara but had no idea about the others.

"You should call or text the guy Temari, he'd be clueless of what he did, he didn't even do anything...Shiho's just his friend, he's clearly interested in you." Sakura argued her point. Temari had been avoiding Shikamaru because of Shiho; she knew if she talked to him she'd want to ask about the girl.

But if she asked about the girl, she'd have to explain how she knew about their meeting and she couldn't just tell him she was spying on him now could she. Plus she didn't want to come of possessive, he wasn't even her boyfriend or anything, she didn't even know if they were friends.

"Dame you sound like Ino." Karin poked fun at Sakura. They were at the very same ice-cream store Karina and Suigetsu had made up, at 'Tasty'. It was a hot day so why not hang out at an ice-cream store.

"Your one to talk, what about Sasuke from what I've heard you two play 'cat and mouse' you both like each other, but say the other don't and then you both chase each other around." Temari scooped her coconut and strawberry ice-cream and shoved it into her mouth. A look of glee plastered on her face as she let the sweet, cold substance melt on her tongue.

"No we don't Sasuke just don't know I like him and I don't know if he likes me, ok, we just, we're just friends...don't change the subject I still talk to Sasuke!...You're the one who needs to talk to Shika_kun." Sakura fumed childishly swinging she spoon around at Temari.

Sari laughed at this.

"Yea right." Karin scoffed, she knew Sasuke liked Sakura very much; Sakura was just too blind to see it. She was a bit envious of the girl but Sakura was her friend and she wanted nothing but happiness for her.

"Ok, let's just eat ice-cream; I'd text him later ok." Temari called truce for now. Sari kept quiet and smiled at her goofy friends.

"You guys how rude, we've been leaving Sari out." Karin wrapped an arm around Sari, and then made a move with her spoon towards Sari's vanilla and chocolate.

"Oh no you don't." Sari grin and scooped Karin's bubble gum and blueberry ice-cream and stuffed it into her mouth.

While Sakura stared at the two Temari greedily ate her cookie and cream flavour. "Hey stop that!" The pink hair began spoon fighting with Temari, people around stared.

"OH boy is there any where we can go without being the centre of attention?" Karin asked rolling her eyes at her blonde and pink hair friends.

"Apparently not." Sakura mumbled not taking her eyes of Temari and continued swinging her spoon at the girl.

...

Ino was nervous which the case was never for her on normal occasions. She was alone with Sai at his place. Shin wasn't home and won't be home until later...which was like tonight or something. Sai and Shin lived alone, there guardian, who's their uncle, Danzo Shimura never was home. He'd send money and visited every so often. The only reason he took in Sai and Shin was because their parent died in a car accident and they had no one else.

Ino sort of thank him for this though because if he hadn't they would off end up in a faster home. They would have properly been separated and she knew they loved each other to much to be apart like that. That would be like someone trying to get her to stop talking to Sakura, like that would ever happen.

Sai was showering because on his way to pick her up, Kiba's big, white dog had jumped him with his muddy paws. So she was left in his room to explore while he showered down the hall in the bathroom. When she heard the shower stop and footsteps heading her way she panicked.

Jumping of his bed she speed walk to exit his room to go to the living room. But that didn't happen. Sai was entering the room the exact same time and they crashed into each other.

Ino looked down and her face turned red, Sai was under her. He was wet and all he had on was a towel hanging around his waist. He smiled up to her and pinched her cheeks. "Why are you blushing I-N-O, nervous about something?" He slyly asked, it was then she notice she had her eyes all over his body.

Sai looked at her checking him out, it sort of turned him on. "N-no way." She pushed herself off only to be pulled back down. With one swift move she was under him pinned by his wet, naked body.

"S- Sai, what a-are you..." He kissed her cutting her off completely, she moaned and he slipped his tongue into her mouth. His hands went up to tug on her in her hair with his elbows propping him up from fully crushing her with his weight. Ino hands shot up to his wet, sexy hair massaging his skull she pushed her head up to deepen the kiss. Their tongues wrestled with each other.

Ino felt her heart pounding against her rib cage, him being almost naked on top her made her nervous. What was happening now is what made her nervous. Sai wanted more, so much more, but if Ino didn't want that as yet he'd settle for making out. Ino was getting heated up. Moving one of her hand from his now knotted hair she placed it on his chest. Feeling his muscles and the droplets of water made it even hotter. She wanted to pass her tongue over his chest and watch his reaction to that.

But all there horny and sexual feelings disappeared when they heard the front door open. "Shit get in my room." Sai got up pulling Ino up with him to her feet.

"Who's that I thought we were going to be home alone." She whispered, her face heated up by the thought of them getting caught like this. Sai pulled her into his room along with himself and locked the door.

"Sai! You home?" Shin called out.

"Yea I'm in my room!" Sai called back to him, he thought Shin said he'll be out all night, he was confused, did something happen? "Your home way early man, what happened?" He asked standing by the door, Ino had walked over to his bed and drooped herself on it.

"Forgot my wallet...what you doing in there?" Shin asked he was near the door, Sai backed away. The door handle jiggled a little and stooped.

"I'm changing my clothes, what you want?" Sai looked over to Ino, she had jump off the bed ready to hide.

"Ah it's nothing, I think you should get a girlfriend and go out a little, you're always cooped up in that room painting." Shin advised his brother completely unaware of the situation.

"I do have a girlfriend, its Ino, you remember her right." He smirked at Ino's pink face.

"Yea, yea she's cute good going, well later, I'm out." Shin footsteps faded as he left the sound of the front door opening and closing left Ino to relax once more. Ino giggled and rolled on Sai's bed, the situation went from tense to hilarious to her.

Sai chuckled while walking over to her. "You want to finish where we left of?" He asked, silently agreeing he'll do whatever she wanted.

"Let's stick to a movie and popcorn for now, if ya don't mind." She wasn't sure if she should have said that but she wasn't ready for 'that' as yet.

Sai smiled and nod his head. "Sure sounds good."

This made Ino feel relieved.

...

Hinata couldn't stay away, she just couldn't. "Naruto_kun, I'm glad y-you decided to m-meet me, I thought you'd b-be too busy t-to come." She admitted, smiling over to him, though it was a sad smile. She wanted to tell him she loves him and that she wanted to kiss him. She knew she couldn't, what sense it made to confess to someone, then in three days time run away with another guy.

Or leave with your father, for some years. It'd look bad and she didn't want to look bad in his eyes, ever. "Of course Hinata_chan, you're cool to hang out with." He slurped up some of his ramen. They were at Naruto's favourite; 'Ichiraku's Ramen Shop'.

Hinata didn't fancy ramen that much but she learned to love it because of him. "J-Just saying, if you where leaving Konoha in the next two days from now, what'll you do with the time you have left here?" She asked, Hinata wanted to know what he'd do if he was in her position.

"Ummmm, eat lot's and lot's of Ichiraku's ramen!" He spoke loudly; Hinata sighed, but let out a small laugh. But what he said next surprised her. "I'd make it worthwhile, doing things I like with the people I like; like eating ramen with you." He turned his head to her giving her his signature grind.

Hinata felt the blood gathering in her head, she knew she was turning red. 'Did N-Naruto_kun just tell me l-like me?' She wondered to herself, his words played back in her head. 'Doing things I like with the people I 'like'; like eating ramen with 'you'.' Her world began spinning, and then her view went black. "Hinata_ chan, Hinata!" She heard Narutos voice but it was more of a soft shout before it all went black for her.

...

"I heard Kankuro's leaving konoha, he told me he's going back to graduate in Ota." Matsuri decided to say what came to her mind to keep the conversation going. After all they aren't kids anymore so it wasn't as it was and they hadn't seen each other so long she began worrying if he had changed, but he seemed normal right now.

"Yea, but he plans to come back when he's done, but then again there's this girl in Ota he likes, so I'm not sure."

This took Matsuri by surprise Kankuro didn't mention anything about a girl or about staying in Ota. "Oh, he actually likes a girl huh, is he serious about it?" She asked taking a sip of her coffee.

"I'm not sure, he barely talks about it, how about you, how have you been, I see that you made new friends?" Gaara as always looked calm, his face holding the same look it all most always had.

"I've been great, I've made lots of new friends and the more I got to know konoha the more I felt comfortable and accustom ya know." The atmosphere seemed to be calming on Matsuri's behalf until Gaara smirked. It wasn't a normal Gaara smirk but a knowing smirk. It was as if he knew something she didn't know but was suppose to know.

The mood tensed, averting her eyes away from his face, it was like the first time they spent alone together all over again.

The day Temari wasn't home and she had been invited to spend time with kankuro and him. Kankuro was the one who invited her but then left because of an 'emergency' with a 'friend'. She was nervous then and she's nervous now.

"What?" She asked, she just had to know what he was thinking about.

"You don't remember don't you?"

She almost choked on her blue berry muffin. "Remember what?" Her question was full with confusion; she had no idea what he was talking about.

"That note you hid in my room, I found it while packing to move here." His smirk deepens when her eyes widened. 'Shit, shit, shit, fuck shit how could I have forgotten about that!' Matsuri screamed at herself mentally.
