Chappie 9: SLEEP OVER! INO KNOWS THE AFFAIR!

'Friday went by fast. It was now Saturday.' Sakura wrote in her journal. 'Of course, Hinata got in trouble for having a hickey on her neck... She got detention for the first time. Naruto was by her side all the way. He said that if she was going, he was going. Later on that day in the detention hall, they escaped through a window. Naruto is a bad influence on her. She'll be just fine though. They make a cute couple. I'm glad her dream came true... I'm unsure of mine.' Sakura stopped writing when she saw Ino looking over her shoulder.

"Who's Itachi?" Ino asked seeing the other page where Sakura had described him.

"WAHH!!" Sakura fell out of her chair. "What are you doing!?" She came out from under her desk where she landed.

"Well dumb dumb.... Were are going to Hinata's for this sleep over you planned. Whos Itachi?"

"Oh... Um no one! Just a fake character I made up! I got my bags, lets go."

Ino wasn't sure if she was lying or telling the truth. "Alright." She agreed and walked out her door. "I'm going to wait outside!"

"Okay!" Sakura agreed digging in her closet. In a rush she gathered all her make-up, and hygenic tools from the bathroom. Dropping stuff on the way back to her room, she stuffed all her things in a big duffel bag.

Sakura zipped up the bag and ran downstairs to the kitchen. Her mom was making breakfast while her dad was reading the newspaper. "I'm gone guys! I'll be back sunday!" Sakura said happily bouncing out the front door.

"Okay dear! Were going too!" Her mom replied.

Sakura turned. "Where are you going?"

"Vacation, we'll be back monday kay hon?"

"Alright! See you guys!" Both parents waved.

Outside Ino waited by her gate. "C'mon slowpoke!" She said rudely.

"Okay! Okay! Stop rushing me!" Sakura sighed. They both made their way to the Hyuga household.

Ino has never been there so she gasped at how big it was. "Is Hinata rich or something?!"

Sakura shrugged. "I have no idea." She looked up at the huge gate that was blocking the house. "HEY! YOU UP THERE!" Sakura shouted. The man look down from one of the towers on the gate. "LET US IN! WE ARE EXPECTED BY HINATA!"

The man disappeared. Ino looked at all the commotion. Her mouth was wide open. Sakura looked over to her. "You look like you've seen a ghost... Don't worry, its like this all the time. Poor Hinata!"

Ino smiled. "I'd give anything to live like this! Its like being a princess!"

Sakura sweatdropped. "Sure Ino...." The gates opened after that last comment.

"COME IN!" The man yelled. "LADY HINATA IS EXPECTING YOU!"

Sakura sweatdropped. "I just told you...." She grumbled under her breath.

The both came in and saw Hinata. She was wearing a red t-shirt with jeans. She actually looked, normal. Not a shy Hinata, but a normal teen named Hinata.

Ino and Sakura began to pick at her at once. "Awww! Hinata your so cute!" Sakura cooed pinching her sleeve.

"Yeah... Did Naruto put you up to this?" Ino growled. "He better not have made you or I'll-"

"No! Its alright! He had nothing to do with it! I just wanted to look like this because it was my first sleepover." Hinata smiled. "Come in! We can't start without you all in the house."

Sakura and Ino looked at each other while the excited Hinata ran into the house. "She sure is excited...."

"I know, I think its great." Sakura winked. "She's really going to turn into a great woman."

"Yeah."



*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Here, put your stuff down." Hinata offered. They were in one of the guest bedrooms. "We have another room for you Ino."

Ino chuckled. "Alright."

Hinata continued. "You won't hear those battle cries anymore Sakura. Since mom and dad are on vacation, they closed the appointments."

Sakura was relieved. "Good. I cannot stand that 'HYAAA' all day. I don't know how you make it."

Ino looked confused. "What are you guys talking about?"

Hinata looked at her. "My family owns a Dojo. We have many clients that come here every day to either test their skills, or practice. I'm not to excited, but I am the heiress."

Ino gasped. "WOW! You going to own this joint when your older!?" Hinata nodded. Ino smiled shyly. "Hinata.... did I ever tell you you were always my best friend?"

Hinata and Sakura sweatdropped. "OH! Isn't Neji here too!?" Ino cooed teasing Sakura.

"Hey! Don't do anything stupid!" Sakura yelled blushing. "We do not have anything going on! We just study together."

"Oh, is that so? The you wouldn't mind me giving him a try?"

"WHAT!? What do you mean by 'try'! I thought that you liked Sasuke or Shikamaru?"

Ino blushed and covered her face. "Oh yeah! Thats right!"

"Ino..." Just then a knock came to the door.

"Yes? Come in!" Hinata politly said.

It was one of the gaurds. "Lady Hinata, you have another visitor. His name is Uzumaki Naruto, is he expected?"

"No he isn't, but let him in anyway."

"Yes." With that the guard left. The girls looked at each other and went outside to investigate.

Naruto was waiting near the front door. Hinata came running towards him. "Naruto!"

Naruto turned and saw his girlfriend. "Hey Hinata!" The hugged. Sakura and Ino giggled to themselves. Naruto held Hinata's hands. "I'm sorry to barge like this... I didn't think you had company."

"Its alright Naruto-kun! Would you like to join us for lunch."

He laughed. "I'd love to!"

Just then Neji appeared. "What are you doing here?" He asked walking up to him.

Naruto sensed that he wasn't wanted by a certain person. "Neji..." He tried to sound nice. "Whats up dude?"

Neji frowned. "I'll ask again. Why are you here."

Naruto quit his bouncy act. Neji was dangerously serious. Hinata sadly between the two. They are going to ruin her day! They'll ruin everything! All her plans and all her fun. They can't do this!!!

She ran inbetween the two fighters. "Hey, don't be all mean okay? Be nice to each other.... I have company, please don't fight."

Naruto glanced at the brave girl. He didn't want to fight Neji or ruin her day. But he did want to defend his and Hinata's relationship. "Hinata I won't fight." He hel his pinky out for a promise.

She joyfully took the offer. "You too Neji!" She held her pinky to him. Neji looked at her confused. He held his pinky out, trying to figure out how to do this 'pinky swear' thing. Hinata curled her pink around his, sealing the promise. "Now you two pinky promise!"

Naruto and Njeji growled at each other and tried to hold their hand out. Both boys wanted to pull out one anothers pinky and make the other eat it.

They both tried to smile. 'Hmph... Not like I'm keeping my promise.' Mutter Neji in his head. 'I hate him. Hinata has to put up with him all the time. The putting that bruise on her neck... Shameful cretain.'

Hinata twirled. "Yes! Now you can't fight! Lets have tea!"



They were all at the table sipping the yummy tea that Hinata mde herself. The room was silent, but thinking that was going on was enough noise. Hinata pursed her lips trying to forget about the scene and make up a conversation. "So, Ino, how did things go with Shikamaru? The letter he gave you?"

Ino spit her tea out by surprise in Naruto's face. Too bad he sat across from her. Neji got up to get a towel for the little fox demon. (as he would call him! ^^) "Well I..." Ino blushed at the question. "We get along pretty well. He just wanted to say that he was sorry for not coming to dinner with me." She half lied.

"Is that so?" Hinata sipped her tea again.

Sakura saw her cue. "That half ass lie! You know he asked you out!" Sakura leaned to Hinata. "They had a little problem in 4th period!"

"Actually..." Ino rised from the table. "YOU WERE THE PROBLEM!"

Sakura sweatdropped. "Weeeeelllll...."

"Don't you well me!" Ino went on ranting.

Hinata looked at the two fight. "Naruto, aren't they so cute when they fight?" She looked over to her love and see that he's gone. "NARUTO!"

The two girls stopped fighting to notice that Neji never came back and that Naruto was gone. They all ran to the kitchen.

Naruto and Neji were wet. The blonde had a water hose and the Hyuga boy had a sink sprayer. (Ya'll know what it is! Its attached to the sink and it sprays water...) Both of them were breathing hard, probably from dodging each others attacks. The kitchen was soaking wet also.

Hinata looked at what she had to clean up. "You guys! What are you doing!?"

Neji looked to her. "I'm defending your honor!"

Naruto did the same. "I'm defending our relationship!"

Hinata, inside, was glad that they cared for her so. But she didn't want it to be in a negative way. "Just stop! Your making a mess! How dare you do this while I have company!"

Sakura and Ino looked at the small girl that was on the verge of crying. After they had just argued they felt kind of apart of this mess too.

Neji was shocked at the level of Hinata's voice. He put his weapon down and slipped out of the kitchen.

Naruto also put his hose down. "I won you know! You gave up before I did!" He shouted at Neji.

"Naruto!" Hinata snapped. "You can leave now! Just..." Hinat sniffed and a tear came down. ".....Just go home." She pointed at the door.

Naruto sadly looked to each of his lady friends and left.

Hinata went to the table and picked up all the dishes. She was crying now.

Ino and Sakura felt guilty somehow. Sakura volunteered to speak. "Can I help you Hinata? Can I do anything?"

"Me too!" Ino jumped up.

Hinata turned to them and smiled. "Yes, you can. That'd be great."

Together they all helped clean.

Meanwhile Neji was changing his clothes when somehting caught his glance. Looking out his window he found a dark person beyond the gate. Since his room was at the top floor, he could see what was on the other side of the gate.

What he saw was a person hiding behind a tree smoking. Neji squinted trying to sharpen his vision. Instead, he got smart and took out his binoculars. "Hmmm...." He peered out the window. The man was tall, long black hair and an evil look on his face. Neji decided to investigate.

Making his way downstairs he saw Sakura come up them.

Sakura smiled gently. "I was looking for you, currently Ino and Hinata are working together to make dinner."

Neji blushed. "Okay..." Sakura went back down to let him through.

"So, where are you off to?"

Neji didn't want ot exactly tell her what he had saw. He didn't want to scare her. "Going for a walk."

"Can I come?"

"You better not." The came down on the floor.

Sakura put her hands on the wall blocking him from out the stairs. "Why not?" She cocked her head looking for an answer.

"Umm.... I like taking walks by myself!" He tried tp push her gently out the way, but she didn't budge. "Not buying. Whats the real reason your going out there? To me you suck at lying."

"I think I see, a pervert...." He whispered. (^.^;)

Sakura turned beet red. "Ah... Ah.... A pervert?" She cracked her knuckles. "A pervert eh? C'mon Neji!" She marched out the door.

Neji had started something.

Outside Sakura looked around. "Where'd you see him?" She asked the boy.

"He's beyond the gate. We have to sneak out if we don't wat to startle him."

"Okay!"

"I know a way. Come."



As the two left for the side of the building, Ino followed secretly behind them. 'What are they doing?' She asked herself. 'Are they gonna do it or what? Or are they going to escape the sleep over. Sakura will probably study with him, whatta dork.' Ino thought about all of her options about the situation. 'I wonder...' She continued to silently follow.



"Here. I'll climb over the gate and hand you the rope from the other side." Neji said taking the rope over his shoulder.

"What!?" Sakura shreiked. "How are you gonna climb that gate wall thing!?" Pointing up at the gate that was as tall as the trees.

Neji winked and took out two kunai's (Ninja classes!). He stabbed the wall and lifted and stabbed it again to lift. A few minutes later he was at the top. Sakura sat in awe staring at the amazing boy. He jumped to one of the trees near by and wrapped the rope around it. He tightly pulled the knot and swung the rest of the rope down the other side of the gate where Sakura was.

Sakura automaticall started to climb the rope.



Ino, spying behind a garden rock looked at their teamwork. 'I didn't know they got along that well. Neji's kinda hot when he pumps those muscles' She hit herself mentally for saying such a thing. 'Yuck.... Anyway, oh no! How am I gonna catch up with them now? I hope they left the rope for me!'.



After Sakura got up the the top she tightly hugged the rope. "Neji...."

"What?" He said a few feet across her in a tree.

Sakura giggled nervously. "I'm scared..." She looked down and closed her eyes freezing.

Neji knew this would happen. He jumped to her on the wall. "Climb on my back."

"What?" Sakura said opening her eyes.

"Climb on my back! Hurry before that thing gets away!" She did as she was told and rested herself on his back. Neji held her thighs and Sakura held his neck.

Sakura blushed. He felt really nice. She quietly enjoyed the ride as Neji hopped from one tree to another.



Ino saw her opening. They left the rope there! Yes! Ino climbed the rope having no fear of heights.



Neji felt his heart race a bit. 'No...Its not that...' He thought. 'I just feel that I'm at risk of losing Sakura and her falling.... Its not like I have my hands on her, nope its not that. It'd never be that... But even as I say that....' Neji gulped. He never put his hands on a woman. (Yeah... he's a perv!) Muchless a woman on his back. He felt Sakura's warmth combine with his. It felt comfortable, but in Neji's case, he felt a little dirty.

Neji jumped to the last branch and let Sakura of his back. "Are you okay Neji?" Sakura asked whispering.

Neji turned a dark shade of red. "Yes, I am... Stop being concerned with me. Are you okay."

Sakura smiled shyly. "That was fun."

Neji felt like he was going to fall and brake something he needs. 'This, uneasiness.... I feel, weak. Could I be-?' Just then his thoughts where interupped by that man putting out his cig.

They both looked down. Sakura reconized that smell of his cig and his hair. 'ITACHI!?' She screamed to herself. Suddenly Neji jumped from the branch to 'greet' the man.

"NEJI DON'T MESS WITH HIM!" Sakura shouted.

Itachi looked up into the trees the find the beautiful Miss. Hanuro. He smiled at her an faced Neji with a frown.



Ino minded not to come near the situation and decided to watch and carefully listen from a distance.

Neji didn't pay any attention to the now scared Sakura.

"Come down here Sakura!" Itachi taunted.

Neji eyes widened. "How do you know her name?!"

Itachi smirked. "Forget that. Whats your name? Your the boy who's always with her."

"None of your business." Neji took out his kunai's.

"You take Ninja classes huh? I passed that class no sweat." Itachi chuckled.

Sakura came down. "Itachi what are you doing here!? Get out before you get in trouble!"

"I'm already in trouble. I knew you'd come, I need a place to stay Sakura."

Sakura blushed. "What are you telling me for?! Just cause someone is after you!"

"I need you! Sakura, can I hide at your house?"

"Are you out of your mind!?" Neji stared at the two. They seemed to know each other well.

Itachi showed his bleeding arm, and Sakura's motherly instincts came over her. "Itachi! What happened?"

"I got caught in a fight alright.... But I didn't lose!" He winked.

"You dummy!" She said looking at his wound. She dug in her pocket. "Take the key. My parents shouldn't be home till monday. Use somthing in my house to clean that up too."

Itachi took the key. "Thanks...." He fiddled with the key embarassed.



Ino watched the situation. 'THAT'S ITACHI! Oh... he is hot.' Ino pouted. 'How come Sakura gets all the good guys!? I'm SUPPOSED to be the beautiful one!'



Neji broke the silence. "WHO ARE YOU TO SAKURA?!"

Itachi smirked again. "An aquantince. Don't mind me. Thank you Sakura." With that he kissed her on her forehead and walked away.

Sakura held her hand tightly. 'Itachi....'

Neji was burning with either jealously or anger.

Ino kept stalking them tell Itachi was gone. 'Itachi is a real person! And all those things she put in her journal, about how he saved her, and when he kissed her........ Its all true!!!'



*^^ Ino knows a lil too much now! At first when I finished this chappie I wanted to change the title, but I couldn't. Oh well. Back to the subject of Chinese! (Me wuv talkin about this!) Umm.... At first, I read Wo ai ni off a some Fushigi Yugi manga. Then, Watase (FY author) was talking about a wo ai ni song that she loved. You know... being stupid, I looked it up on Kazaa. And I found it! Its by the China Dolls (Not really sure if its the same song that she was talking about). And if any of you decide you download it, be sure to download 'you mei you lai (remix)'. ^^ I like that one. I have nooo idea what they are saying, but I don't care. Its easier that way when I'm writing cause I don't have to concentrate on what the song is saying! Ha ha ha ha! I have quite collection of J-pop though (instead of chinese)! Ayumi Hamasaki and Utada Hikaru are highly recommended. Well, Mrs. Kusanagi is signing of again! And as always, love you!*

WO AI NI! ^^

P.S This chapter was so long... And I didn't want to keep you all waiting and I've been so busy, so I haven't been able to look over my mistakes. If you found any (Spelling grammer etc.) please don't mind it!
