~Ino~

Ino woke up to the sweet smell of breakfast she opened up her eyes to see Naruto standing over her with a tray of food. "You cooked?"

He shook his head, "I can only cook ramen I ordered this in slide over."

Ino sat up and slid over in Naruto's bed as he sat next to her placing the tray over her. "How are you feeling?"

She shrugged, "I'm still angry I think I'm going to go back home today."

"You can't do that. You have to talk to your dad if you go home angry it will only make things worse. If you want I can go with you. I won't leave your side I promise besides he already knows that you are here."

"You told him!"

"I had to he was really worried you didn't see how upset he was. I had to tell him. Just relax and eat your breakfast."

When the finished eating Ino cleaned herself up in Naruto's bathroom. He hadn't mentioned her admitting she like him. She was wondered if he would mention it at all. When they got to front door she hesitated to open it, so Naruto grabbed her hand and squeezed it. "It's ok I told you I won't leave your side now go in."

Still holding on to Naruto's hand she walked into her home her dad walked out of the kitchen. He looked really upset, "Hey Ino…Naruto."

"Hi Dad….we need to talk."

"Yeah I know let's have a seat."

Ino and Naruto sat down across from her dad it was silent for awhile neither one knowing what to say. Naruto decided to take the lead, "Um Mr. Yamanaka Ino has been upset all summer because she came here to see and be with you and she hasn't done much of either."

Her father sighed, "I know I'm sorry Ino that's all I can say I should have been home more often I guess I'm a horrible father."

Ino found herself crying, "You're not horrible I mean yes you weren't really there for me when I grew up but I was hoping that this summer could make up for that and you spent more time with her…." That's when Ino took a good look around. "Wait where is Megumi?"

"We broke up…..you were right she cared more about that rock on her finger than me or you. Which she made clear last night when she barely helped me look for you. But I don't care about that Ino I swear to you that I'm going to try to be a better father but I need you to be honest with me. And tell me how you feel more often."

"Ok I promise Dad….maybe we can visit each other more often." She let go of Naruto's hand to get up and go hug her father.

"I promise we will and I've taken the rest of the week off so I was thinking the three of us could go away on a little vacation."

"Three of us?"

"Well I figured you wanted to bring your boyfriend along. As long as it's ok with your godfather Naruto. I let you two think about where you want to go it's your choice Ino. I am really tired I didn't get any sleep last night."

She kissed his cheek, "Go to bed dad rest up."

Once he heard the door close upstairs did Naruto say, "So…boyfriend huh?"

"I didn't say we were I swear he must of just assumed….about last night."

He stood up, "I should get going."

She reached out and grabbed his arm, "Naruto I like you is that so wrong?"

He tried to pull away, "Yes no please let me go."

"No Naruto I know that you like me. Why can't you just admit that?!"

"I don't do relationships Ino. You're leaving in a week Ino and then who knows when I'm going to see you. So we shouldn't start something that is doomed to fail. I'm not a great guy I hmph…"

Ino had kissed him stopping him mid sentence he tried to fight her fist but soon gave in wrapping his arms around her deepening their kiss. Ino stopped kissing him but kept their faces closes together. "Naruto you are amazing and if we really try we can make this relationship work. I'll visit as much as I can and we can talk on the phone and I have a web cam at home so we can chat using that too."

"You can chat with other people with that web cam?"

"Yeah what did you use it for before?"

He tried not to smirk, "You don't want to know." He gave her a quick kiss, "Ok let's do this be a couple and I'm thinking that we should go somewhere with a lot of beaches."

"Why?"

"To see you in a bikini."

She had to laugh at his cheesiness, "NARUTO!"

~Tenten~

Tenten knew she had hurt Neji's feelings and after a night of restless sleep she decided to go tell him the truth. She snuck down the stairs and into the guestroom Neji was staying in. She sat down next to his and nudged him awake. "I like you so have a nice life see you."

Tenten tried to get up and leave but Neji grabbed her arm pulling her back on to the bed. "What was that?"

"I said I like you…a lot ok."

He rubbed his eyes as he sat up, "Why couldn't you tell me that before?"

She starred at the floor as she told him the truth, "Because I've never liked someone this much and I'm scared. I don't want to let someone in and have that person hurt me."

"Tenten I would never hurt you."

"I don't know that…"

He took her hand in his, "Tenten look at me." She took a deep breath before looking up at him. "I would never hurt you. I like you too very much."

"You do….why? I mean we do argue a lot."

"But I like when we argue…its fun and you can get pretty cute when you angry. And yes you are stubborn but for some reason I like it."

She couldn't help but to smile, "Neji…so what do we do now should we start dating?"

He chuckled, "What have we been doing these past couple of months? You're my girlfriend Tenten you just never realized it."

"Oh you think you can just make me your girlfriend just like that! Like I'm something that you can claim that I hmph…"

Neji had pulled her closer and kissed her, "Has anyone told you that you argue too much?"

She smirked, "Just my boyfriend."

~Hinata~

Hinata was sitting in the living room drawing when she heard a knock on the door. She immediately knew who it was. She jumped off the couch and ran to the door swinging it open and throwing her arms around Sasuke and pulling him into a kiss. They were still kissing as Sasuke shut the door behind them and kept walking him and Hinata foreword to the couch. Once there they heard a disgruntled groan. They looked up to see Hanabi standing there with her arms crossed, "I don't know if I should leave you two alone."

Sasuke sat up, "I'll be on my best behavior I promise."

"You better be Hinata I'm going out to dinner with friends but I'll be back at eleven!"

Her older sister nodded, "Ok have fun."

"You too….scratch that no fun just behave you two."

"We will bye Hanabi."

She looked skeptical but finally left them alone. When she did Hinata snuggled up closer to Sasuke. He groaned, "I can't believe the summer s over."

She wrapped her arms around him, "I know I'm going to miss you."

"Me too…..hey what's this?"

Sasuke reached out and grabbed Hinata's drawing pad but she immediately snatched it away. "What I've seen your drawings before."

She placed the book behind her, "That was before now it's…different now."

He was still trying to get the pad from her "Come on Hinata what's in there that you don't want me to see."

"N-Nothing…." It was then that Hinata noticed that Sasuke was practically on top of her.

Her face became a deep shade of red and he noticed, "Well Hinata it seems we have gotten ourselves into trouble the exact trouble Hanabi warned us not too. So we can keep going and see where this leads or you can give me the pad."

In a blink of an eye Sasuke pulled the pad out of Hinata's hand and ran to the other side of the room. "Sasuke come on!"

"Why don't you want me to see your drawings again?" He started flipping through pages. "I mean it's just buildings, flowers, scenery, your sister, and your friends….is the blonde Tenten?"

"No that's Ino. Tenten is the brunette and Sakura is the pink haired girl why?"

He just shook his head, "She looks kind of familiar…..anyway like I was saying there is just drawing of your friends and…..me?" Sasuke flipped through unfinished pictures of him. "You draw me?!"

She immediately felt embarrassed, "I try but they aren't any good now will you please give it back."

"Why aren't they finished?"

"They weren't coming out right so I gave up."

He tossed her back her pad, "Then finish them."

She almost dropped the pad, "What?"

He sat down on the couch across from her, "I'll pose for you." He winked at her before taking off his shirt and lounging on the couch. He noticed Hinata's eyes were focused on his chest and she wasn't drawing. "Hey stop drooling and start drawing."

She blushed and immediately opened the pad and started drawing.

~Sakura~

Sakura was having a horrible end of summer all she wanted was to go home. Anko was around all the time which kept Kakashi from speaking to her not that she wanted him to say a word to her. She was laying on her bed when Kin walked in. "Hey Sakura are you feeling any better?" Sakura didn't answer she just continued to stare up at the ceiling. Well all the counselors are having a bonfire tonight are you coming?" Still no word from Sakura. Kin sighed, "Ok well if you want to come it's by the lake. And by the way I found her phone it was under a pile of clothes." She tossed Sakura's bright pink cell phone on her bed, as she left the room.

Sakura had misplaced her phone some weeks ago but was too focused on Kakashi to care. She plugged in the charger and turned the phone on. She saw she had a lot of voice mails and decided now was as good as time as any to listen to them.

The first message was from Ino, "Hey Sakura how is it going? I miss you! You will not believe the woman my father is dating. I have a lot to tell you so….what the…Naruto what are you doing?!"

She heard a guy's voice who she recognized as Naruto said, "I am not doing anything."

Ino sighed, "You are making faces now stop that! Sorry Sakura Naruto is trying to distract me. So like I said call me back. Bye Love You!"

Next was from Hinata, "Sakura where are you? I haven't spoken to you in a long time is everything ok? And I…" Hinata started laughing hysterically. "S-Sasuke p-please stop I'm on the p-phone."

Sakura heard Sasuke say, "It's not my fault you're so ticklish."

"S-Sasuke s-stop sorry Sakura just call me back."

Sakura quickly hit the delete button and went on to the next message. "Hey Sakura it's me Tenten and I…"

A guy's voce shouted, "Hurry up we are going to be late."

"Shut up Neji I'm on the phone. You are so annoying!"

"You know you love me."

"UH huh whatever Sakura call me back soon!"

Sakura continued listening to the messages from her friends and family and listening to her messages mad her sadder. She tossed the phone on the floor she couldn't listen to her friends asking what happened to her and how great their summers were with their boys. 'How come everyone is having a great summer except me?'

Sakura was prepared to roll over and fall asleep when her door swung open, "LEE WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"

Lee just shook his head at the sight of her, "You're pathetic your just sitting here sulking. Come with me now."

"You can't just barge in here demanding things!"

"Either you can come now or I will drag you out of here."

Sakura tried to stare him down but he wasn't budging. She groaned and grabbed a sweatshirt, "Fine but this better be worth it."
