THANK YOU FOR CATCHING ALL OF MY NONSENSE, tbrk!! MY HEROOO!!

The four heiresses followed the grinning man through several hallways until they reached a pair of double doors. He gracefully spun on his heel and faced them with his hands behind his back. They stared with fake interest, waiting for this to be over. Well, except Ino. She was barely keeping the drool in her mouth. Tenten was pretty much carefree, as she stared at her reflection in the marble flooring. Hinata and Sakura stood to the side, lost in their own thoughts.

"Alright, ladies. This is my newly refurnished theatre room." He snapped his fingers and two men in white tuxedos with black bow ties raced to the doors and pulled them open dramatically.

None of the girls could stop their eyes from bulging. It was humongous! Five rows of leather lounge chairs, a concession stand, soda machine, icee machine, with bags of cotton candy strung from the ceiling..! And the screen? At least twenty-five feet up and around!

They walked in after regaining their composure and were ushered in by the men in white penguin suits. They led them to the front row and offered refreshments on a small menu that was distributed. Kindly, they declined. Didn't they just eat? Sakura looked over at Hinata. The poor girl was glancing desperately at the closing doors. The green-eyed teen knew Hinata wanted to see the man outside. So badly, too. Sakura could relate. Sasuke was itching at her thoughts constantly.

It was then that she became determined. Even if she couldn't see Sasuke again, she wouldn't let the same fate befall Hinata. The girl deserved her chance. A small, devious grin appeared on her pink lips. She had a plan.

"Hinata, listen." Sakura whispered as the film began to roll. "When I give the signal, ask to use the bathroom. He'll tell you where it is and I'll go with you. Then you can go see the guy downstairs."

The Hyuuga blushed with a mixture of excitement and shyness. "Really? I-I don't know, Sakura…."

"If you miss this opportunity, you're gonna regret it." Sakura leaned back, letting Hinata debate the issue in her mind.

A minute or two later, she caught Sakura's eye and nodded firmly. Oh, this was so gonna be awesome. They all watched the movie with half-interest. It was Juno, a favorite of Sakura's. But right now wasn't the time to enjoy such a thing. No, she had to concentrate on her timing. If Lawrence wasn't surely to fixated on the film or ahem, Ino's assets, then her tiny plan would be a bust. Well, okay. Maybe the timing thing didn't require so much concentration, but still, it was like that damn artist had freaking moved into her brain! He wouldn't leave! She couldn't stop thinking about him and it was like a mosquito in her ear! Well... Except for the fact that she liked these thoughts.. Still! She had a mission!

When Juno was telling her dad and step-mom she was preggers, Sakura looked over her shoulder to the second row where Lawrence and Ino had been seated. They were sitting awfully close now for "just friends". She had her legs crossed and Lawrence had his arm draped over her shoulder with his fingers tracing lines along her collar bone. Perfect timing. Like hell would he get up to take them to the bathroom now. She nudged Hinata who nervously turned around to the two.

"Uhm, excuse me, Lawrence?" She asked timidly.

"Hm? Oh, yes?" He didn't remove his hand at all. In fact, he somehow managed to get closer.

"Can you tell me where I could find a restroom?" She avoided eye contact at this point. It wasn't just because she was indirectly telling him she had to pee, but the fact that the two of them seemed so eager was pretty gross.

"Ah. Make a left out this corridor and it will be the third door to the right." He explained hastily, turning his attention back to the blonde next to him.

"Thank you. Sakura, can you come with me?" Hinata asked, hiding her smile.

"Sure." She replied casually. But it didn't matter, really. He was already kissing her neck. Horny freaks.

Sakura looked over to see how Tenten was holding up. She practically sighed with a smirk when she saw her passed out with her legs up on the seat next to her. In a few minutes there would surely be drool and some snoring.

The two men outside opened the doors for them and they muttered a quick 'thank you' before walking down the hallway. They quickly passed the bathroom and found a staircase. There were a few, so they just crossed their fingers and prayed this was the closest to the garden. When they reached the ground floor, they got a maid's attention.

"Miss, could you tell us where the garden is? My friend and I just need some fresh air." Sakura asked politely.

"Right this way." She bowed and led them through a maze of rooms to the gigantic glass doors. She opened one for them and bowed. They thanked her and walked outside to the patio deck.

There was a round white wicker table with four matching chairs around it. A fan was hanging above in the shade of a deck that looked out over the backyard. There was also a pond, blooming trees, bushes with a wide range of flowers and a few benches under the trees. The grass was short and even, not a blade too long or slightly withered.

"Well, you can have your fun. I'll be right inside. Come back in when you're done." Sakura winked and made her way back in.

Hinata blushed and sat down at the table as she watched the blond gardener clip at a few hedges. He was shining with sweat and his dark green cargos had blotches of dirt all over. He put the large clippers down by his feet and swiped his forehead of sweat. When he turned around, he looked startled for a second to see someone there. In a blink, though, a warm smile appeared. He walked his way across the giant backyard toward the fidgeting girl at the table.

"Hey, I remember you! You were that girl I saw on the street, right?" He asked excitedly.

"Y-yeah." She blushed and bit her bottom lip. When she looked up, she couldn't help but smile. He was just so cute.

"Hope you don't mind," He began pulling off his white shirt. "It's just so hot. Man, I really need a break." He chuckled.

Her face burst into flames with a blush. He was ripped! Even though he was partially covered sitting at the table, his chest looked extremely rock hard and his abs were by far a washboard. Six pack, for sure. His shoulders were broad and his arms weren't exactly bulging like they were injected with steroids, but you could tell he definitely had a gym membership card.

"You okay there?" He asked, his clear blue eyes worried.

"I-I'm fine! Sorry, I guess I'm getting a bit hot, too." She laughed nervously and he smiled with relief.

A maid came out with two tall glasses of lemonade with a wedge slipped onto the sugar coated rim. He grabbed the two glasses with his large bronze hands and nodded at the maid. He handed her one and she thanked him before taking a sip.

"Ah man! Forgot to make a toast!" He yelled.

She giggled lightly at his frustration over such a tiny detail.

"Uhm, a toast to..." She tried to think of something as she raised her glass.

"A toast to a new friend!" he shouted as he grinned, perfect white teeth and all.

"A new friend." She smiled as their glasses clinked.

He took a few gulps then hit the glass back on the table. "So what's your name?" He asked curiously.

"H-Hinata Hyuuga.." She nervously introduced.

"Awesome. I'm Naruto Uzumaki, nice to meet'cha!" He held his hand out and she shook it lightly.

He laughed loudly and took another gulp of his drink while she sipped on hers. She looked out over his shoulder at the beautiful flowers. He noticed her staring out there and smiled with an idea.

"Wanna go sit out there? There's some shade by the benches." He offered.

"Sure." Inside, she was setting off fireworks.

He grabbed her hand with a surprising gentle hold and brought her to a bench by the pond; her face flaming red. They sat down as she watched the koi fish swim around lazily, their scales gleaming in the sun. Bright green lily pads moved with the breeze. A few had lavender flowers blooming and one had a fake frog on top.

Inside the house, Sakura watched as he said something and Hinata laughed. Oh, how she was proud. But not just of herself for making this work, but of Hinata for being so brave. The tanned blond guy seemed very sweet. He already had held her hand, so this was definitely going well. For a few seconds she felt a wave of jealousy crash over her. She wanted that to happen to her. She shook her head and reminded herself that Hinata was her best friend. She had only had a boyfriend once, and that was from an arranged marriage that was fortunately canceled.

She decided to keep herself busy until Hinata was done, so she went about snooping. No harm done, right? Against the wall was a nice wall unit with books and old photographs propped up inside. There were a few drawers on it toward the bottom, so she quietly pulled them open. Small nothings here and there, none of it was too interesting. Then she pulled the last drawer on the bottom out and found a red journal. She curiously pulled it out and inspected the cover. Just plain red, no words. She flipped it open and saw a chart of some sort. There was a column of names on the left and a bunch of checks or no checks in boxes along the left.

She gasped when recognition slapped her brain. This was his book of lays! Every girl he ever slept with was written down and rated! He had small notes on the good or bad things of their "performance" scrawled inside. He even had the occasional number of a friend so he could hook the guy up with the girl! She wondered if Sasuke had one of these….

Hinata closed her eyes with a pleasant smile as a light breeze passed by. Naruto watched in awe as the petite girl looked so at peace. She was very shy and incredibly cute, too. His mushy thoughts were soon interrupted when he randomly smelled himself and realized..he smelled like shit.

"Hey, Hinata?" He asked, breaking her from her tiny moment.

"Yes?" She looked over at him with a small tint of pink.

"How would you like to go out with me this weekend?" He silently crossed his toes in his filthy sneakers.

"I-I'd like that very much." She smiled brightly, making him smile even more.

"Cool! Uh, can I have your number so I can call you?" He asked, his excitement bubbling up.

"Sure, let me get some-"

"Here, I have a sharpie! You can write it on my arm!" He flashed her a foxy smile and she took the black marker with a blush.

Her face deepened in color when she grabbed his arm and felt how firm with muscle it was. This guy was built! She shoved that from her mind as she wrote the number of the hotel and her extension number as well. He looked at it with slight confusion.

"You don't live around here? Well, that explains the English, I guess." He shrugged.

"I'm here with my friends on vacation." She explained.

"Oh, okay. So this is the hotel number?" He pointed to the inky digits.

"Yep. If I'm not there, you can leave a message with the hotel and I'll get it when I come back."

"Definitely! Oh, hey, is that one of your friends?" He asked as Sakura came walking toward them. Hinata noticed a slightly pissed expression on her face.

"Hinata, this guy's a total ass." She growled.

"What!? I don't even know you!" Naruto yelled.

"Not you! Lawrence. He has a play book! He writes about and rates all the girls he's gotten in bed with and the book is like, fifty pages!" She inhaled deeply.

"We should tell Ino." Hinata said quietly.

"Yeah…. How embarrassing. Oh, sorry, I'm Sakura Haruno." She smiled tiredly and held out her hand.

"Naruto Uzumaki!" He proudly exclaimed.

"Nice to meet you. Hinata, are you ready to go back up?" Sakura asked carefully.

"I guess. They might notice that we've been gone soon… It was nice meeting you, Naruto." She was wringing her hands.

He held her hands in his. "It was nice meeting you, too." He bent over and kissed her cheek.

"A-ah..!" She was bright red again.

He scratched his blond head obliviously. "I'll call you!" He shouted as Sakura dragged the malfunctioning girl back inside.

"Was that our number on his arm?" Sakura asked teasingly.

Hinata nodded, unable to form words at the moment.

"So are you guys gonna go out?" She pried.

"T-this weekend..." She was completely dazed.

"Go Hinata! Yeah!" Sakura cheered.

They went back up to where the others were and the men opened the doors once again. Ino and Lawrence were sucking face and Tenten had somehow slid to the floor. Her legs were still hanging on the seats, though. The movie was almost over now. The girls sat back down unnoticed and smiled at each other. Mission accomplished.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

"And you still like him!?" Sakura yelled. This was unbelievable.

"It's not like I'm looking for a serious relationship or anything." Ino explained, taking out her earrings.

"But the guy's a total sleaze! There was a book! How does that not bother you?" Sakura sat on her bed.

"It does. But not enough to ruin my fun. As soon as this vacation's over, that'll be the end of it." She shrugged and sat on her bed, pulling out her magazine.

"So you guys are basically friends with benefits?" Hinata asked as she pulled off her shoes.

"Yep. So it's totally fine."

"Well, whatever. Just don't sleep with him. I don't think it'd be too great to have your name in that book." Sakura muttered, turning on the television.

"OMG!! Guess what! Guess what!" Tenten shouted as she burst into Ino's room, jumping like an overcharged bunny.

"What?" Sakura laughed.

"Neji called! He's coming! He's coming!" She danced around in a circle.

"Separation anxiety much?" Ino snorted.

"Jealous! He's coming for the weekend so he and I can hang out." She squealed.

"Isn't he going to France for a business trip with Father?" Hinata asked.

"Yeah, but he's coming here first to spend the weekend with me before he goes!" She jumped onto her bed and bounced a few times before squealing again.

"Chill, you crazy beast." Sakura laughed again.

"Oh, that reminds me. Lawrence is taking me to dinner Saturday. So I'm guessing it'll just be you two this weekend." Ino explained and gestured to Sakura and Hinata.

"That's cool." Sakura shrugged while smirking at Hinata.

"We'll be okay." Hinata smiled, successfully holding her blush down.

"Well, I'm gonna go to the gym thingy downstairs. I'll be up in an hour." Ino pulled out her shorts and sports bra.

"I'll go, too. I have so much energy now!" Tenten jumped off the bed and ripped open her bag to pull out her stuff, too.

Soon enough, it was just Hinata and Sakura.

The two girls were quiet for a small while before Sakura finally spoke up.

"So are you excited?" she asked.

"Yeah, I just hope I don't embarrass myself…." Hinata sighed.

"What? Please! Like that'll happen. He'll be head over heels for you the second he sees you." She rubbed her arm reassuringly.

"Thanks." Hinata smiled.

"No prob. Now let's watch some mind-numbing television."

(I was going to stop here, but heck, I decided to make this a looong chapter.)

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

"It came off!!" He wailed, smacking his face into his hands.

"Idiot…. Look, you're supposed to hold it so that it doesn't slip off when you pull out. I thought even you would understand that." He sipped his coffee and fiddled with the cigarette in his other hand.

"What the hell are you talking about? I'm talking about the number, not a condom!" He yelled.

"Hn. How foolish of me. I forgot that you're too stupid to get laid." He smirked as he took a drag.

"At least I'm not stupid enough to smoke! OoOoOoOhhh!!" The blond got up from the grass and waved his arms in the air. "Need some ice? 'Cause you just got BURNED!"

"Are you done yet?" Sasuke asked with a bored expression.

"Yes." He sat back down.

"So you didn't write it down?" He looked over at his friend's arm.

"Well, she wrote it on my arm…" He pouted his lip out, ready to cry.

"Tch. Next time write it down on paper." He finished off his coffee. "If there is a next time…."

"Heeyyy!! That's mean, bastard!" Naruto whined.

"Like I care." He grumbled.

"You seem more pissed off than usual. Did you get another stick up your ass?" Naruto asked.

"Hn…." He turned away.

"Tell me." He calmed a bit.

"Promise you'll shut up after?" He eyed him.

"I'll try."

"Fair enough.." Sasuke smashed the cigarette under his converse and tossed it onto the street behind him.

"So..?" The blond asked curiously.

"The old man forced me to help some rich girl loosen up. I took her out fishing with George and stuff. I saw her again when she was on her way with her friends to go to a dinner thing at Feddichi's. She didn't really want to go, so her friends left her with me. I took her horseback riding and we ate dinner and... I don't know…." He pulled up a clump of grass.

"Oh my god! Sasuke has a crush!" Naruto exaggerated and held his face in total shock. "…Wait. Did you bang her?" He asked suspiciously.

"Naruto, I don't sleep around and you know it. That was like, a few times." He muttered.

"It's a bigger deal than you think. Girls don't like that." Naruto wagged his finger.

"What are you? A dating counselor now? You can't even get a girl's number." Sasuke shot back.

"Would you just shut it! I'm gonna find her, just you watch." He huffed dramatically.

"Right…." He rolled his eyes and brushed the blades of grass from his black skinny jeans.

"So what'd she look like?" Naruto's mood swings were like that of a pregnant woman..

"Green eyes, pale, pink hair, kinda small.." He continued to pull up grass.

"Pink hair? Are you serious? I know her!" He shouted.

"What? How do you know her?" Sasuke glared, not believing him.

"I saw her today! She was with Hinata! Her name's Sakura, right?" He asked excitedly.

"Man, I guess you did see her.." He snorted. "What a weird coincidence.."

A lightbulb flicked on above Naruto's head. "Do you know where they're staying?"

"Look, I know where you're going with this. I'm not gonna go with you." He stood walked toward the canal ahead of them.

"Why not!?" Naruto jumped up and ran after him.

"What's the point? They'll be gone soon." He sat down, letting his legs dangle.

"So? What if it turns out you really like this chick? Same for me! Are you really just gonna let her get away?" He pleaded.

"She's on vacation. She shouldn't be wasting her time on a stranger." Sasuke glared down into the murky water, his expression contradicting his words.

"Stranger? From the sounds of it, you guys are a bit more than strangers." He shoved him.

"Hn." He looked away.

"Fine. If you really want to just end it like that, whatever. But at least take me there. Hinata seems really sweet and I already made plans with her." Naruto leaned over, trying to get his friend to look over at him.

"Hn.." His shoulders fell and Naruto knew he had won. Score.

.-.-.-.-.-.

"Hello?" Sakura answered the phone, half watching some show she just flipped over to.

"Good afternoon. This is the front desk. There are two young men here loo-" There was murmuring in the background. "Sorry, one young man here requesting to see Hinata Hyuuga. Would you like me to send them up, away, or will she be coming down to the lobby?" The man asked politely, though not really seeming to care.

"Uh, hold on." She covered the phone and looked over at Hinata.

"Who is it?" She asked, no longer watching the odd game show on the screen.

"Front desk. There's a 'young man' asking for you. You expecting anyone?" She asked, flexing her fingers when referring to the young man.

"Not that I know of. Ask for the name." She crawled over to Sakura.

"Hi, uh, does the guy have a name?" She asked as nicely as she could.

"Naruto... Uzumaki." He said into the phone after asking.

"It's Naruto." Sakura told Hinata.

"I thought he said he'd call…." She was confused.

"Me, too. Should we send him up?" She eyed the phone suspiciously.

"Go ahead." Hinata nodded.

"Alright, send him up." Sakura chirped into the phone.

"Miss?" The man asked before she hung up.

"Yes?"

"He... He seems to be dragging his friend with him. Just thought you should know."

"Oh… okay? Thanks." She shrugged at Hinata.

"Not a problem. Good day, Miss." The line disconnected.

"He said Naruto's dragging a friend up with him…." She hung up the phone and went to brush her hair.

"I wonder who..."

They checked their clothes, not wanting to look like slobs. Before they could give the thumbs up, there was a couple of hasty knocks on the door and what sounded like arguing outside. Sakura opened the door and her eyes widened with shock. She stood to the side and allowed the two to walk in.

"Sasuke?" She asked, not sure if she was seeing correctly.

"His fault." He pointed his thumb over his shoulder at Naruto before shoving his hands in his pockets.

"Hinata! I'm so sorry! I had the number on my arm, but I forgot and showered! But then I told Sasuke and long story short, he knew you guys and brought me here! After I forced him, though..." He grumbled the last part.

"Forced?" Sakura asked, raising an eyebrow. Did he not want to see her? Was he annoyed by her?

"He's just shy!" Naruto giggled. And no, there wasn't even an attempt to make it any bit at all manly.

"Hn." He glared at his so-called friend.

"S-so you guys are friends?" Hinata asked as Naruto wrapped an arm around her shoulders. A blush rolled in at full speed.

"Yep! Ever since the bastard moved out here with his brother!" He smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"Speaking of your brother," Sakura sat down at the table and they followed suit. "Hinata and I saw him the other day at the beach."

Sasuke narrowed his eyes and sighed. There was no way this was good news. What had that idiot told her? How did she meet him? He could only close his eyes and wait for it. Bite the bullet, really.

"He was very nice. Him and his boyfriend." Hinata blushed when she remembered Kiba.

"How'd you meet him?" Sasuke asked, half wanting to hit his head on the table. Repeatedly.

"We were walking around in the sand and saw the two guys. We went over to say hi and they offered to take us to eat. I asked him if he had any siblings since, you know, you look alike. He said yeah, and then we talked about you." She looked over at Hinata and she nodded a confirmation.

"You know, Sasuke... He told us quite a lot about you, really." She looked over at him.

"Really?" His gritted his teeth. The table probably wouldn't be sturdy enough. Maybe the wall.

"He said you're not a man-whore," she smirked. "but sleep around when you're really mad to calm down."

He groaned and Naruto laughed loudly. "That's Sasuke for ya!" He continued laughing.

"It was twice, dammit.." He muttered, leaning his forehead into his palm.

"Yeah, you used a girl. Twice." She glared at him.

"They offered. They knew it wouldn't mean anything." He growled.

"So that makes it better?" Her voice was rising.

"Compared to pretending to be in love with them? Yes." His volume matched hers.

"Hey, cool it." Naruto raised his hands for peace.

"You're disgusting! It doesn't make it better! You still used them!" She yelled.

"Sakura…." Hinata pleaded.

"Why are you so mad? Are you jealous?" He smirked.

She faltered, unable to speak for a second. "N-no. Of course not! How could I be jealous of a slut who had sex with a pig!?" She screamed.

"So, uh, Hinata. Can I pick you up at seven Saturday?" Naruto asked awkwardly.

"Don't deny it, Sakura. You want me." He leaned over and played with a strand of her hair.

Slap!

"S-seven sounds good." She watched nervously as Sasuke pulled back.

"GET OUT!" Sakura screamed. Her face was red with rage and she looked like she was on the brink of tears. "You told me... I thought..! You're worse than Lawrence! You ass! Get OUT!" She sniffled through her tears now, pointing to the door.

Sasuke grunted and stomped out the door. Naruto squeezed Hinata's hand before looking apologetically at Sakura. He followed the Uchiha out and to the stairs, too steamed to bother with the elevator.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.

"What the hell!?" Naruto yelled, catching up to Sasuke.

"Go away." He growled and walked faster.

"I thought you liked her!"

"And?" He swerved through the crowds of tourists.

"And you didn't say anything! You insulted her!" He yelled again, people turned to look at him.

"She was insulting me." He turned a corner into an alley.

"So two wrongs make a right?" Naruto followed him.

"What was I supposed to do!?" He spun around, screaming.

It was then that Naruto noticed there were tears daring to fall from his friend's eyes.

"Tell her." He said calmly.

"Tell her what?" Sasuke climbed up a ladder on the side of the building.

"That you like her." He scoffed and climbed into the window with Naruto coming in from behind.

"Just forget it." He walked to the other side of the one-room apartment and dropped down on his mattress.

"Sasuke, you're such a pansy."

The blond went over to the ancient stove in the corner and boiled water for a package of instant ramen he had. There was a pyramid of the stuff against the wall. Hey, it was cheap. He looked back and saw Sasuke smoking by the window.

"That really will kill you soon if you keep it up." He reminded him.

"Like I care." He blew the fumes from his mouth.

"Well, you should. I've noticed you've been at it more than usual. You really should try to quit." He poured the boiling water into the Styrofoam cup of noodles.

"Oh well." He leaned against the window and wiped his eyes.

"Dude, I know you're pissed. But please put out the cigarette. I'm serious." Naruto put a hand on Sasuke's shoulder.

"Sure." He put out the cigarette and walked over to the dresser. He grabbed a pack of cigarettes, a lighter, his wallet and his keys.

"Where are you going?" Naruto asked as he opened the door.

"I thought everyone knew. Where I always go to release my anger." He waved a small square pack in his hand. The door slammed and Naruto fell down on the stained carpet.

"Stop running away..."

This weekend I was at my mom's as usual. But I didn't have a computer since... Hers broke. And I was watching Mind of Mencia, crumby and cheezy romance movies on Lifetime, Family Guy, Live In Gotham (stand up comedy, not Batman.), and a bunch of other stuff. From all of that and a box of Special K chocolatey delight (my snack food.), I was driven to write out a detailed outline of (mostly) the rest of the fic. It's SOOOO LONG! and fluffyful! HA! So I'm guessing at least 5 or so more chapters. From what I've written out so far, I mean. I don't have a clue how long it'll be after I type up what I've written.

So here's my question: Do you plan on sticking with this story till the end? I want only honest answers, please.

happy unbirthday
