Disclaimers: Naruto don't belong to me.

This story is about Sakura, Ino, Hinata, Tenten, Temari, Matsuri, Karin as best friends doing the craziest of things that friends would do together.

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

Matsuri decided to end her task early for Temari's sake. And for the safety of others as a matter, the blonde was on a murder streak at the moment.

Temari was boiling with anger when Shiho and Shikamaru strolled around the park together, walking to close to each other for her liking. But that was the least of the worries; it was when they went for ice-cream and walked home together. Shiho tried to hold Shikamaru's hand but before it could happen Temari had pelt a stone at Shiho. It had hit the girl's head hard...very hard.

That's when Matsuri and the others had to scramble over to Temari. They had to hold the girl back from leaving her hiding spot. This was behind a big butter cup bush that is. Luck for them there was lots of tall trees and bushes around so Shiho couldn't tell where the stone had come from.

Though Shikamaru had stared in their direction a little too long, for a second they thought they had been found until he told her forget it and they walked away.

That still wasn't all that happened that evening, like a raging Temari wasn't enough.

"What are you doing hiding behind these bushes, eh?" Suigetsu had made an unwanted appearance making all of them crawl to a corner, hugging each other. It was creepy how he was able to sneak up behind them with none of them realizing. The question was how did he even find them?

"Ahhhhh! Shit Suigetsu." Tenten smacked the guy, not only for scaring them but for what he had done to Karin. The red head had told them the entire story and the brunet had promised herself the next time she saw him she'd make him pay. Now she had an excuse for hitting him, not that she needed an excuse.

He growled out in pain and muttered something about girls being too violent before he looked directly at Sari making the girl shift uncomfortably in her spot next to the others under his gaze. Then he glance at Temari and smirked when she huffed and turned her head away from him.

"Ohhhh. I see you got new friends." He pointed to Sari and Temari.

"Oh yea this is Temari and that's Sari, guys this is Suigetsu." Matsuri introduced the three to each other.

"By the way what are you doing here, what do you want?" Sakura ruthlessly asked, she didn't like anyone messing with her girls. She was making it clear to him that she knew what he had done and that she didn't like it, or him being around them at the moment.

"Ahhaha, well I was in the area and I saw the eight of you sneaking around admiring Shikamaru and Shiho and I thought I'd just say hi." He scratched the back of his white slightly tinted blue hair.

Karin rolled her eyes, every inch of her body itching to slap him across the face, she had enough of this. If he didn't leave now she was going to, she couldn't stand him or stand to be around him.

"Bullshuit!" Ino glared at him, honestly if he didn't acknowledge Karin's presents and apologised she'd slap him. Her palm twitched at the thought of hitting him.

His purple eyes finally looked over to Karin's crimson eyes and soften, he sighted when she glared at him.

All trace of playfulness left and his voice was serious now. "Karin can we talk? I'll treat you to ice-cream." Karin wanted to say no and play stubborn for as long as possible but she did sort of over react that day so she agreed. "Sure." She looked over to her friends and bid them goodbye before leaving with him.

She couldn't keep this up anymore, even if she was still annoyed with him.

...

Sari had left claiming she has 'somewhere' to be and Sakura left after receiving a phone call from Sasuke. He had call to remind her about dinner; she had promise Mikoto she'd be there. So she decided she'd go since the others were leaving as well.

Hinata left saying she wasn't feeling well after Tenten had asked about Neji. Tenten told her that Neji hasn't been answering her phone call and her messages. Hinata said she didn't know about it, the girls found it strange, the way Hinata was acting.

"We have to find out what's wrong with Hinata_chan she's been acting strangely and Neji_kun to." Tenten looked at the remaining of her friends; Temari, Ino and Matsuri. Neji always answered her calls and messages, it wasn't like him to ignore her, she knew she didn't do anything to upset him so it wasn't that. Plus Hinata wasn't her cheerful self all day.

They were at an antique shop spying on Karin and Suigetsu who were across the street at an ice-cream store. It was Ino's idea to do so of course.

"Your right since they had that family meeting 'thing- of- ma- jig'." Matsuri turned to look at Tenten, she was peeping out the window which was displaying shelves of antique jewellery and items.

"We'll figure it out after; look they took a seat by the window, jack pot." Ino leaned in closer to get a better look, Temari next to her doing the same.

"Do you guys know that blonde by the way? Who is she? Why is Shika so close to her? Why was he so calm around her? Why didn't he find her troublesome?" Temari asked, her eyes not leaving the spot her friend and that guy, Suigetsu, was at. But she was now clenching her fist and grinding her teeth.

"Slow down, jezzz so much questions." Ino eyed her. "So, she goes to our school, her name's Shiho and Shika is friends with her don't worry." Ino informed her, but still she wanted to know more. Matsuri and Tenten joined them by the window to peep at Karin who seemed to be smiling.

...

After bidding her friend goodbye Karin had walked over to an ice-cream store name 'Tasty'. She always found the name weird but loved the ice-cream there. "If it's about the mall thing, its ok, you just pissed me off is all ok." She lied, he hadn't 'just' pissed her off, no he had hurt her she'd never tell him that. But when he aced that way it always hurt her.

Suigetsu felt bad, he always had a feeling Karin liked him but he never knew for sure until Jugo had told him. That day when she stormed off Jugo had went out to look for her but returned by himself. Jugo told him that Karin had cried to him once about her feelings towards him. She had made Jugo promised to keep it a secret from him and everyone.

Suigetsu wanted to call her, meet her and return the feelings but he knew she deserved better. He knew he wasn't good enough for her. Many times, when she needed someone he was never there for her, she deserved someone better than him. So he decided to act like he always did, as a friend.

"Yea sorry about that, let's forget about it and be buds again." He smiled to her but really he felt like he just punched himself in the guts.

"Yea your right, let's not let that silly argument spoil our friendship." She smiled back at him. They were hurting each other and their selves by acting this way, acting as if everything between them was okay.

But it wasn't.

But Karin smiled, she felt happy actually, it didn't matter what their relationship was. At least not right now, she was just happy they were on speaking terms again. She felt relieved that they could be friends again, Karin thought she'll worry about her feelings for him later on she just wanted to enjoy right now.

For now she would push away the nagging feeling in her stomach that told her otherwise.

...

Sari left her new friends early so she could pack her stuff up again. She didn't have much to pack since she knew they'd move anyways, she doesn't usually empty all her things. But she wanted to pack now so she could spend the next two days she had left with them.

They didn't know yet but she'd be leaving soon. It sort of upsetting, her life style, to meet wonderful people and then say goodbye. She laughed at herself, 'to think you'd get used to it by now Sari.' She thought rubbing the tears from her eyes away and continued with packing.

...

Exiting the taxi, Hinata ran to her front door opening it and slamming it close behind her. She ran heading to her room, but her vision blurred by the stinging tears she ran into someone. Looking up with teary eyes she meets her father's glare. When he saw her, his features soften but Hinata didn't notice this.

"S-Sorry." She spat out at him, intending it to sound cold but it came out weak, she continued running straight to her room. Locking her door she grabbed her phone and dialled Ruzo's number. Before she could press call and head to her bathroom there was a knock on her door.

She hid the phone, wiped her tears and opened the door preparing to meet her father. Fortunately that didn't happen, instead little arms wrapped around her small waist and a head crashed into her stomach.

She looked down to see Hanabi subbing violently; she pushed the door close locking it again. Taking her sister over to the bed and gently pushing her off to sit. "What's wrong Hanabi?" she asked hesitantly placing her hands on the girl's shoulders.

"I-I can't l-leave, I'm in-in-in l-l-love with a b-boy and I h-h-have friends a-and an l-life h-h-here." She cried, Hinata decided to wait a moment for her little sister to calm down before she spoke. It wasn't often things like this would happen between them, Hanabi never really came to her crying like this.

After a few minutes of crying into Hinata's lap Hanabi sat up and wiped her tears away. "H-He told me he likes me, my friends are planning trips for us, m-mums here, and why do w-we have to leave." Hinata sigh, it was her role as a big sister, to be strong and positive for her sister's sake.

"I have someone I love here as well, I have great friends who could never be replaced and yes mum's here, but we are moving together, we could try to make dad change his mind but if he don't we have to stick together okay." But before Hinata could continue on her prep talk there was a knock on her door again.

Wiping Hanabi's tears away she stood up and walked to the door, hoping it wasn't her father.

"Neji? You should talk to Tenten she's worried about you." Hinata began to inform him about her friend but he just ignored it and as always went right to the point of his visit.

"Dad wants to see us, now." He then walked off heading down stairs. Hinata poked her head into the room to call Hanabi but she didn't get to talk. "I'm not going down." Hinata nod with understanding and left closing the door behind her. She wondered what it was he wanted to tell them about now.

...

Sakura felt out of place being at the Uchiha's dinner. Yes she was used to being with the Uchiha's but the reason for this was because Itachi's friends would be over soon and she just felt out of place. "Oh my, you look lovely in that dress, why don't you go call Sasuke down then you can help me with something in the kitchen." Sakura blushed and nod leaving Mikoto in the living room to get Sasuke.

The Uchiha's house was almost as big as the Hyuga's it would of been bigger but Mikoto didn't want that. On her way there she saw Itachi on the phone, he smiled at her and she returned one of her on. All she heard was, 'I'll come pick you up then' before she left him to his privacy. She would of like to examine him some more though, he had on a nice white shirt and black soft pants on.

Now that she thinks back on it Mikoto had on a nice black dress as well. Then and there she thanked god she decided to put on this dress of her on. Her other option was a sweater and leggings; she would have been underdressed if she had went with that.

She knew exactly where Sasuke's room was located after all it wasn't the first time being here. Ironically as it is her bedroom window and his faced each other, like in 'Taylor Swift' music video 'You belong with me'. But they didn't do the cheesy 'write on a card thing'; there were phones for that, right.

She knocked on his door and soon after heard an "it's opened." Opening the door and peeking in there was no sight of anyone.

"Sasuke?" She walked in closing the door behind her, "Yea." He walked out of his 'walk in closet' wearing a black soft pants and a unbutton blue shirt. Sasuke smirked at her when her face turned red; she was staring at his muscular chest. Sasuke walked up to her and placed a hand on her forehead. "Are you getting sick? You're turning red." He teased; grabbing the towel from on his bed he began drying his hair.

Sakura could have sworn she was drooling with his messed hair and opened shirt her knees went flimsy. He looked so darn hot right now, hotter than he usually looked. "I'm f-fine, your mum sent me to call you down." With that said she turned and walked out into the hallway. Shaking the dirty thoughts of what she wanted to do with his chest out of her mind, she headed for the kitchen.

Sasuke thought Sakura looked...amazing in her red and white dress. It was a thin strap dress, fitted from top to waist and loosens all the way down to her knee. Around the waist had a white band and the bottom edge had a white lining. Her shoes were a matching red and white and her hair let down and straiten. He had to admit to himself she look really cute. Cuter than she usually looks, why would he lie to himself anyway.

...

Itachi had not come back yet and Mikoto was getting annoyed by this. He had left telling her he had to pick up someone at the airport and that he won't be long. His friends would be here shortly and he wasn't here, that'll be rude. She had dinner ready and everything set, Sasuke and Sakura were watching TV and her husband was reading the papers.

Only Itachi was missing, now that she thought about it, who is this person he needed to pick up. According to him his friends had arrived in Konoha this morning, so who was this special someone. A grin spread on Mikoto's face when she figured out what her eldest son has been up to. Before she could share her thoughts with anyone, the front door was heard opened and closed.

She knew Itachi and his 'special friend' had finally arrived.

Sasuke and Sakura had joined Mikoto and Fugaku in the hallway to greet the guest. It was a woman around Itachi's age or younger properly nineteen years. She had black, long, straight hair and light brown eyes. She wore a plain purple dress and a grin on her face as her eyes ran over every member of the family.

"Everyone this is Chieri Saiyoto, my girlfriend." Itachi wrapped an arm around the girl's waist and continued. "This is my father Fugaku, my mother Mikoto, my younger brother Sasuke and our neighbour Sakura but she's like my little sister like I've told you."

He smiled lovingly to her and back at his parents, he rose a brow at his mother's wide grin but decided to let her have her moment for now. She was looking forward to the day he brought home a girl to meet them from the day he had turned eighteen.

Mikoto had a big grin on her face, she knew it, she knew he was hiding a girl form them.

"Hi everyone it's a pleasure to finally meet you all, I've heard so much about you all." Just then the door bell rang and Itachi left to get it saying it must be his friends. Chieri didn't seem to mind being left alone with his family. She was rather excited about it, ever since she and the elder Uchiha had got into a serious relationship she had wanted to meet his family.

If they weren't in another country studying at university she would have nagged him into bring her over but it had to wait till now.

"We haven't heard anything about you." Sasuke rudely spoke his mind as he always had a habit of doing. He wasn't going to openly accept her like everyone else was doing, he had to make sure she was right for his brother. Itachi wasn't stupid and wouldn't fall for a woman that will use him for his family wealth.

But he had to make sure she was right. It was sort of his duty as a brother.

"Sasuke!" Mikoto was about to lightly hit him for this but smiled when Sakura did it. Sasuke just looked down at the pink hair girl and back at Chieri.

"Well he told me he didn't want to say anything till we met face to face." She smiled at Sasuke; Itachi had warned her that his little brother could be like this so she was prepared. She was unfazed by his words and she was going to make him like her.

Itachi then walked in and took his place next to Chieri, behind him came three boys his age. "This is Hidan, Deidara and Kisame." Itachi began introductions again but his family and Sakura was mostly interested in his girlfriend Chieri Saiyoto than any of his friends.

Sasuke however glared at two of the guys who dared to check out Sakura. He had a sudden urge to punch something.

...

Hinata made her way into the kitchen to get a glass of water for her dry throat. Chugging down the glass of water she slid down to the floor and began sobbing. The meeting her family just had played over in her head.

- (Flash back) –

She walked into the room and sat next to Neji facing her father. "You may not like this one bit but it must be done, ok, we'll be leaving in four days, so hurry up with your packing...where is Hanabi?" After finishing what he had to say, he asked for his youngest child. Hinata wanted to scream at her father but her voice was lost.

"She's not well, I'll go tell her now." Neji said through grinded teeth and left in a hurry like being there was suffocating.

Hinata got up and left for the kitchen not wanting to be weak and cry in front her father, again.

- (End of flash back) –

No one really went into their kitchen, so she knew she'd be alone to let out the pent up frustration.

Neji was properly going to their gym to blow off his irritation and anger on the punching bag. So when she was done she'd have to tell Hanabi herself about their father's decision. For now she thought of what she'd do. She'd have to tell Ruzo about this, leave earlier than she had planned to.

Her friends and Naruto ran through her mind, it felt like they were vanishing right in front her eyes. Like she'd never see them again, but she would, at least if she left with Ruzo she'd see them sooner than if she left with her father.

She walked up stairs slowly and quietly to her room. Hanabi was sound asleep on her bed. "Guess I'd tell you in the morning." She whispered and covered her sister away from the cold breeze that passed through the room from her open window. Taking her phone she went to take a shower and call Ruzo to tell him what had happen.
