Trapped

Day 2: "Period." Part One.

---

It was morning, and everyone could feel it. Sadly, the windows had no curtains so the sun had shone through, into the room. Naruto had felt it and groaned, waking up to feel something soft. His pillow probably? He must've slept and hugged his pillow overnight…but for some reason, it really didn't feel like a pillow. He opened his eyes slowly, and felt his cheeks burn.

'Sa—Sakura!' Naruto blurted in his mind, nor daring to take another breath or she'd wake up. He had his arm and feet draped over her sides, as if she was his pillow. 'Well, she did feel like a pillow…' Naruto blushed and slowly tried to move away, but he couldn't help but stare at her a little longer. "She looks so adorable when she's asleep…" Not knowing he had said this out loud, he could hear a groan from Sasuke. Shit, he was waking up. What if that bastard saw this…? What would he think? Of course the Uchiha would misunderstand and repeat over and over that Naruto was a pervert…which he would dislike very much.

Before Naruto could move away, he could feel someone stare at him with shock.

"I-it's not what y-you think S-Sasuke…!"

"N-Naruto-kun…!"

Wait. This voice didn't sound like Sasuke at all. And the only person who called him Naruto-kun was… "Hinata-chan!"

"What…" She began.

"—Are you doing?"

"Oh, nothing…I just, you see…" Wait, now that wasn't Hinata's voice. "Sasuke!"

He stared at the boy blankly, smiling sheepishly. "Eheh…I didn't mean to…It's just overnight…"

"…you were able to roll all the way to Hinata's futon and hug Sakura while sleeping?" Sasuke said and rolled his eyes, pulling the back of Naruto's collar and dragged him away from the kunoichis. "Lucky Sakura's not awake…"

--------------------------------Morning; Bedroom #3

"Lee you dope, I am not Sakura! Get off me!" Tenten shrieked and tried to pull away from Lee's embrace. "Ne, Neji! Save me!" She gave him a begging look, trying to escape from the dreaming thick-brows. "He won't let go!" She just earned herself a smirk from Neji and he stood up; about to walk away. "Neji-kun!" The suffix made him halt and turn back, his eyebrow twitching. He hated when she did this to him, but he said nothing…just approaching her and took her hand, pulling her body away from the other boy.

It wasn't as easy as it looked though, because Lee still wouldn't let go. "Ah…Sakura-chan…you're so soft…"

"Eww! Lee is PERVERTED!" Tenten tried to have him stop grasping her but that came to no prevail. "Nejiii!"

This time the Hyuuga grew irritated and harshly pulled on Lee's arms, having them let Tenten go. Yet, it was stiff as rocks. "We need to wake him…" the boy told his team mate calmly, "There's no way we can have him release you."

"THEN WAKE HIM FOR GOD SAKE!" With a scream that loud, for sure the whole house was awake abruptly. Lee opened his eyes slowly to look up at Tenten's brown orbs. "Sa…Tenten?" She rolled her eyes and pushed him off her, "Jeeze Lee…you sure sleep in…"

The boy had realized what he had done and blushed, "S-sorry Tenten…I didn't mean to…"

Neji had observed this and sighed, "Let's just wash up…we only have a bathroom, so I'll go first."

For some reason, Tenten didn't seem so joyful about it. "No…I'm going first." She rushed in the bathroom and shoved the quiet boy out of her way. He turned to look at Lee and shook his head, "Look what you did."

---------------------------Morning; Kitchen

"Cereal…eggs…bacon…" Hinata slowly took these to the table and began to set the plates and bowls. "They said Sakura and Ino won't be eating…but I'm not sure…" While speaking to her self, the flashback with Naruto over Sakura this morning made her look down at the tray of food. 'I guess…Naruto-kun still likes her…' She felt bad, but inside the timid body of Hinata, she was just as fragile and kind…not knowing if what she was feeling inside was jealousy or hurt.

"Good morning everyone!" Naruto yelled from the top of the stairs. He, unlike normal people, got up on the rail and slid down happily. "Is it bacon I smell?" Hinata nodded to Naruto, giving him a plate filled with rice and a pair of chopsticks. "H-here you go…Naruto-kun…um…where is everyone else?" It should've been time that everyone would be down here…unless something happened upstairs. She did swear that she heard Tenten yell for some reason…

"Oh, nothing…I think their fighting over the bathroom."

"I see…" The shy girl nodded slowly, and set more plates down. "I guess…we'll have to wait for them to come down to…eat." Naruto gave her a whining look, "Aww…do we have to? I'm sure they won't mind if we eat ahead…" It wasn't a good persuasion, but Hinata couldn't hold back on Naruto's cute face. She blushed slightly and nodded, "Okay…N-Naruto-kun, you eat ahead."

"Aww…Hinata-chan's gonna go on a diet like Sakura-chan and Ino?"

Hinata thought for a bit…if she went on a diet and got skinnier…would Naruto get interested in her? She nodded immediately and Naruto frowned, "I wonder why girls have to go on a diet…I mean; Sakura-chan and Ino aren't even fat! You're not either! I guess the only normal girl is Tenten…but she sure is mean…" He made his 'thinking' face, giving a moment to wonder why girls did these kinds of things. "Oh well! You're bacon tastes good!" He grinned, totally moving onto a different subject.

The cook smiled softly and nodded, "I'm…glad you liked it, N-Naruto-kun."

"Eh?! Monkey face got to eat first? That's not fair!" A familiar voice complained and appeared in the dining room. Naruto stuck his tongue out but said nothing, as he was busy eating his food. Kiba took his chopstick and began to put the bacons on his plate as well, but Naruto beat him to get one as their chopsticks collapsed together. "Oi, Naruto…this piece is MINE." "Oh yeah! I don't see your name on it!" "You have to share monkey-face!" "Well I got this one first dog-boy!"

"Stop arguing already," Ino snapped at the two and seated down. Shikamaru and Chouji followed behind her, and Chouji grinned at the smell of meat. "BACON!" As if his speed was accelerated, Chouji instantly took his plate of rice and gobbled down 3 bacons at a time. Ino smacked his hand, "Remember, we are on a food-diet!"

"No," Chouji continued to munch down to the food. "You are. You can't eat this food!"

Ino groaned and bared her teeth at him, "I don't care!"

"Shut up…I'm not up for a loud morning." Sasuke had entered the room with his hand arousing his hair. "It'll just make the day bad." Ino greeted Sasuke happily while others ignored his statement, continuing to eat the food Hinata had made. The boy looked at the chairs and found out that the seating arrangement must've been picked random last night at dinner; because no one had sat where they had. Looking for his own place, he moved to the end of the table, staying away from everyone. The place would be filled anyways, but he just didn't want to sit near the people here now.

"SAKURA!" That was definitely Lee's voice. Naruto's ears perked up and he looked up the ceiling, where the second floor was.

"Lee…I'm not up for this."

"Sakura, do you want to spend time with me after breakfast?"

"No."

"Sakura…"

"WHAT?"

"Y-YOU'RE…BLEEDING!"

As Lee let out the word 'bleeding', it related to the word 'blood.' And with this, Sasuke and Naruto got out of their seat, rushing upstairs. Within seconds, they were faced towards Sakura and Lee, her blushing while he gapping. Her pajama pants had blood tainted against the fabric, which made Naruto yelp. "Sakura-chan! What happened?!"

Sasuke being as smart as he was - had no idea either about what happened or what had caused her to bleed. "Did you scratch your leg…?" He asked, but only caused her to blush more. Great, three guys here witnessing this…how terrible. Her face turned scarlet and she pushed them out of the way, to the local bathroom right behind Sasuke. Without saying a thing, the kunoichi slammed the door.

"What…was that about?" Naruto turned to look at the two other shinobis.

"I hope she's alright…" Lee stated, walking to the bathroom door. Sasuke grabbed on to his sleeve, looking at him roughly. "Where do you think you're going?" He wasn't sure if the thick-browed boy was going to actually open the bathroom door and ignore her privacy to see if she was alright; although the girl was bleeding. "I—," Lee began and placed his hand over Sasuke, having him let go, "wanted to check on Sakura…if I don't know any better, I think she has her--,"

"Period…shit, why now, I totally forgot it was that time of the month!" The fourteen-year-old kunoichi groaned in anger and embarrassment. Not only did Lee see her leak, Naruto and Sasuke did too! She would never hear the end of this from the girls…how worse could it get? Sakura took off her sweatpants and began to roll up toilet paper for now, until she could get… "Shit…I forgot to pack tampons." Oh yeah, good going Sakura. The girl rolled her eyes and wanted to pound her head against the wall. "Grr!"

Toilet paper wouldn't hold for long…and so she had to ask Ino, Hinata or Tenten. And for sure, the guys would be talking about this. "Sakura!! Are you alright?" Lee called, softly banging on the door. No, she was not alright. Not right now, not ever in this damn house. Already, she had gone through humiliation and now even her period was discovered!

"I'm…alright…" Sakura slowly replied, hoping the people outside would hear her. "Just…trouble…"

"My…Sakura on her period?" Iruka-sensei blinked. "Seems like this morning is quite interesting…"

Tsunade and Kurenai, being females themselves felt bad for the girl. Not only did the boys in the house knew about this, so did the men here. "Maybe I should've given her a pack of pads when I was checking her supplies…" the Hokage reconsidered, and to only be interrupted by the men's laughing. "It's weird though," Kakashi paused for a moment, "I swore that she had her period just two weeks ago." Everyone turned to him, and he blinked. "What?"

"Hey…what's going on?" Ino had walked upstairs, seeing that no one else would proceed downstairs. Neji had said that he wanted to skip breakfast, and somehow Shino had disappeared as well. After Sasuke and Naruto had rushed upstairs, it had been 20 minutes and they still weren't down yet. Did something really happen to Sakura? She wondered, hopefully not. Even though they are half rivals now, they are half friends.

Sasuke and Naruto were waiting by the door, not budging as Lee seemed to be hugging it. "Sakura-chan…come out…are you okay?" He asked with concern, sighing. "Please answer me Sakura-san!"

"I'm okay Lee-san!" Sakura shouted and then there was a rumble of noises in the bathroom. Ino walked over to Lee, feeling the eyes of Naruto and Sasuke on her. "You're lying Sakura, get out here…what's wrong? I heard you were bleeding…" She had a tone of concern.

"…"

The bathroom door opened slightly and Sakura's face peeked through, both the two boys (Sasuke and Naruto) were waiting for her and was about to drown her in questions. But before they could, she said: "Ino…I need you to come in here…" The blonde kunoichi nodded and walked in, and the bathroom door closed shut. The three boys blinked, how long was Sakura going to stay in here? They weren't really sure how to act when Lee said she had her 'period', because it was their first time really understanding this female course. But it did seem serious, seeing that she was bleeding.

"Sakura…?" Ino tilted her head questionably; it was weird that she could say her rival's name so softly. "Are you okay…?"

"I…have my period, and I—don't have a pad…"

Was that all? Ino swore it must've been some serious problem to have everyone wait outside. "Sakura! You made it seem so serious, even I was worried!" She sighed and looked at her friend's sweatpants; "You should wash them later before they dry…it's gonna give out a reek smell."

The other female shinobi nodded, "I know…I just didn't want to get out there being like this. I mean…it's embarrassing enough to have everyone see me leak of my period…and then I finally remembered that I didn't bring my tampons…I don't know why I'm having my period now…I remember I had it two weeks ago."

Ino waved her hand, "Oh well. Wait one sec; I'll go get you a tampon." With that, she opened the door and went out, shutting immediately. The males looked at Ino with a 'is she alright' look, and Ino nodded. "Some things just came up; I'm going to get her something." And with that, she hurried to her room. How lucky of Sakura to have all those guys worry over her, she sighed. Shikamaru or Chouji would never do that for her, it made her feel like she shouldn't have been meant being placed in her team.

As Ino walked back, Sasuke began to walk away from the area. Maybe he just wanted to see if Sakura was okay, and figured that there wasn't much he could do after this. Oh, even Sasuke-kun cared for that girl! Ino though, now didn't really complain about it that much. She, like Sakura, sorta gave up on Sasuke. A light blush was replaced on her cheek and she knocked on the door, signaling Sakura to let her in. Naruto sat down on the floor with Lee, who awaited her to come out. "You know," Ino began, "She's fine so you guys can go downstairs and eat."

Lee was too stubborn to leave; he had to see with his own eyes that his Sakura was alright. Naruto as well, had his ass down on the ground without moving. "I'm going to wait for Sakura-chan anyways, just make her get out soon because I'm still hungry!" Typical of Naruto, but sweet as well. Ino knew that he was hungry and nothing could stop him from eating, but for Sakura…he was willing to wait for her and then eat. Ino felt a slight envy and jealousy surge through her…why couldn't she have team mates like these…?

Sakura then opened the door, and Ino walked in. Sakura smiled as Ino had closed the door and handed her what she needed. "Ah, thank you Ino!!" Wow, it had been awhile that the pink-haired kunoichi had said this to her after they had begun to be rivals. "Your welcome Sakura," Ino grinned, "or should I say forehead girl." When the name was said, Sakura scowled at her but laughed, "Ino-pig." They were more familiar with making fun of each other, because it just brought more happiness and a heart-warming atmosphere for the two. Even though at times it may go too far, they would never really think about the argument twice. It just came to them…like a habit, and it caused them to be happy. It just showed that they didn't change and that their friendship had stayed the same.

After a few minutes of cleaning up, Sakura sighed. "My underwear…I think I'll go to my room and change my entire clothes. Then I'll wash these up," she tried to hold her sweatpants, hopefully no one would be able to see them through her hands. The door opened slightly and the Genin kunoichis walked out, with a happy Naruto and relieved Lee. "You're alright, Sakura-san! I thought something happened in there." "Yay, Sakura-chan's alright!"

"Of course you dope," the female team mate stuck out her tongue and looked at Lee, "Thanks for worrying but it's really nothing!"

"…how about I escort you through-out the house…you never know…something else might happen…" the Leaf's Taijutsu-shinobi recommended. He gave out his signature grin and gave her the thumbs-up. It didn't amuse her one bit, just scared the kunoichi more. "No Lee-san…I'm fine…and you guys can go…I have to go back in the room anyways." Without waiting for them to react, Sakura found her way to her team's room and turned back, "Ino…do you want to come in?" It must've been Sakura's period, because she was actually inviting her rival in.

"Uh…" Ino blinked, "Sure."

--------------------Bedroom #3; Bathroom

Tenten growled under her breath, she had to have her period now. Opening the door slightly, she saw that the room was empty and ran across to get her tampons. No wonder the black-haired kunoichi was moody, she hated when she had this. It always made her moody and act un-self, by now Neji must've noticed. He always did, and she had gotten used to not being embarrassed about it. As she stole her tampon box and rushed back to the bathroom, she followed-up the procedure and afterwards, washed her hands.

"Now…to control my mood…" It was easier said then done…because when something did happen, it seemed like the words of anger would slip out of her mouth…and soon, people in the house would think something was wrong with her or they would find out that she was on her period. "Ugh…terrible!"

This was not going well for her…second day at this place and she could not handle it. Without thinking, she stomped out of her room with a glare; she had to blame someone for this…it'll make her feel better. Tenten sighed and ran, but she then ran into Sakura and Ino…as well as seeing Naruto and Lee depart from the second floor. "Um…" the kunoichi began, and had the girls turn to her.

"Are you…okay, Tenten?" It had seemed like Ino had said this phrase for the hundredth time.

The moody girl didn't know how to answer her fellow kunoichi. Yes, no? Whatever it was…she needed to answer fast or she'd go ballistic. "I'm…not…" Sakura, the Haruno girl, had opened the door and smiled slightly, "Maybe…we girls should hang out, ne?" How sweet, they were actually going to have a girl meeting? Tenten had the urge to snort at the idea, but calmed herself down. "Ah…thank you Sakura-san…"

"No prob," she answered and had them come in. "Well…I would go downstairs and invite Hinata but…"

"But?" Tenten blinked, wondering what was wrong. "Eh," the cherry blossom laughed sheepishly, "I accidentally leaked onto my sweatpants without knowing, and Naruto, Lee, and Sasuke found out. I was lucky that Ino came to give me a tampon, I wouldn't know what to do…and couldn't really use the toilet paper." As Sakura said this, the weapon-specialist felt relieved. So she wasn't the only one…and Sakura had been on a tougher situation. "I see…"

"Well, I think we don't need to go down and invite Hinata…she's already here!" Ino announced with a grin, "Come in Hinata!"

The shy girl looked down and fidgeted, "U-um…"

"Oh c'mon Hinata, sit down!" Sakura gestured, beginning to strip herself from her clothes. "I hope I didn't leak on the futon too…" It was in a mumble, but Hinata blushed as she saw Sakura change. "I…shouldn't be here…" Tenten and Ino sat there like nothing was happening, "Oh c'mon Hinata…we're girls, you shouldn't be embarrassed." Ino was right, if it was a boy, they would beat the shit out of him…but Hinata was a girl and well…she was a shy and timid one…but it didn't make her any different then them. She had to get used to them and unlock her true form of being a brave girl and shinobi.

"Ino…can you get me an underwear and shorts? It's in my bag…" Sakura pulled her pajama shirt over her head and took her clothes from Ino's hands. "Thanks," as she said this, the pink kunoichi dressed quickly. Now that she was half dress, she had to pick out a shirt for herself. "The pink one looks nice," Ino had said, as if she was reading her half-best-friend's mind. Sakura has spotted the pink shirt, and pulled it out. Indeed, the shirt had looked nice, and cool as well – being sleeveless. She began to put her hands over the shirt and then slipped her head through the collar area.

"So you have your period too…? I guess I'm not the only one…" Tenten suddenly mumbled and sighed. "What a bad timing."

"Y-you guys have…your period to?" Hinata asked, "Because…"

"You have yours too? No wonder…it must be the atmosphere then, when there's a lot of females in a household…they'll get their period almost the same time of the month…" the blonde seemed to have made sense, other then answering without having Hinata answer for herself, which made all three kunoichis heave a sigh. "How troublesome," was what Tenten and Sakura said in unison, not evening knowing that they had mimicked Shikamaru's famous phrase. Hinata smiled slightly while Ino opened her mouth to say something, but then figured it would be useless.

"Well!" Sakura began with a beam, "now that all the girls are here…what should we do?"

"…it's better then hanging out with the guys I guess," Tenten muttered and smiled, "Hey…I've always wanted to ask you guys…why are you so interested in Sasuke?" What a weird topic to get to.

Sakura just frowned and Ino blinked, "Well," the blonde chose to answer for them, "I guess because he's good looking…strong…smart…um…" "We don't actually like him anymore…" "He has this 'loner' attitude that attracts girls more…" "…he will always refuse you." "He's so mature…" It had seemed like Sakura and Ino were talking about different things, yet they were speaking of Uchiha Sasuke.

"Okay so…" Tenten tried to get things straight, "do you like him or not?"

"Not really…" Ino sighed, "I'm proud that I gave up on him sooner then Sakura! Just shows how stubborn she is!"

"Oh shut up," Sakura stuck her tongue out and sighed. "I for one, think that I don't like Sasuke…you should know how he acts!"

So the two had changed, Tenten mused in her thoughts and giggled. "So then…who do you like now?" Ino had blushed deeply and looked away, finding the window as her best resort. It didn't trick the girls though, as they knew that Ino had a new crush. Sakura though, knew very well who it was – having such a smart mind. "Eh Ino?!" She tried to sound surprise, but only sneaked a sly smile. "Who is it?"

Ino though, did not catch Sakura's theme and shook her head. "No one!" Liar, she was such a bad liar too. Tenten scooted closer to the blonde kunoichi and poked, "Tell! Maybe we can match-make you…" That made the Yamanaka flower blush more. She shook her head and Sakura knew that if Ino wouldn't tell, there was no way they could make her…unless…

"Well, I have a new crush."

All eyes turned to Sakura in shock. She moved to a new crush, that soon?! Sure…Sakura did say she was sorta over Sasuke, sorta. But even Ino knew that she couldn't gain a crush on someone that soon! This was pleasurably amusing, which made Tenten and Ino hunger for the answer. Who had Sakura liked now? Even Hinata wanted to know, as she listened attentively.

"I like…" Sakura willed up to do such actions as in sighing romantically, "…Shikamaru."

--------------------------------Downstairs; Kitchen

Shikamaru sneezed as Chouji burped, gulping down his second glass of orange juice.

"Are you okay Shikamaru?"

The intelligent boy shook his head and resumed watching his best-friend eat down the breakfast food like a pig. No one had really ate anything this morning, and seeing that Hinata had made more then enough, Chouji took the opportunity to selfishly eat it all…but Shikamaru knew that Naruto would get into a fit. Surprisingly though, the blonde had ran up with the Uchiha to see if their team mate was alright, which made him curious. And then, Ino herself checked up on the kunoichi, what was going on? It was none of his business after all.

"I'm okay, where's that Hyuuga girl?" the brunette asked his friend, seeing that their cook had also disappeared.

"I think she went up to check up on Sakura too…" Chouji answered and swallowed the last portion of food. Finally, he had finished eating all ten meals. Although Naruto had eaten half of his food, Chouji stole the last portion and for sure, Naruto would get in a fit. Shikamaru got slightly full seeing his comrade eat all this at once, so he had handed his food to him as well. It was never shocking to see Chouji eat this much, but then again…

"AH, my FOOD!" Naruto's yelp was unexpected and made Shikamaru chuckle while shaking his head. He better get out of here before the boy went ballistic about his meal. It was no fun being put in the edge, and he wasn't up for it. Maybe he would go outside – damn, the door was sealed. Okay…look at the window and daydream about the clouds. He needed some peace after the hard day of yesterday and this morning…it had been awhile that he had time to himself.

Departing from the kitchen, Naruto didn't care to notice as he yelled at Chouji. "That was my food, why did you eat it?!"

The Nara member felt bad that he had left Chouji behind, but it was his turn to stand up for himself. Shikamaru knew that in the past year, it had only been him that backed the boy up between enemies, bullies, Ino…more bullies, etc. Even for a guy with the high I.Q of Shikamaru couldn't always think of a smartass comment toward all those people. And another reason why he knew Chouji could help himself was; the person he was up against was Naruto. How hard could Naruto be? Shikamaru laughed lightly, something he hadn't done in awhile.

----------------------------------Upstairs; Bedroom #1

"…Shikamaru?" Ino breathed out in her long gasp, who could've known Sakura had liked him? Ino had never saw the girl approach him in any way, talk to him, or even visited him because it was her who occupied his whole time. So how could this girl fall for him? It was impossible once you put the clues together, there was no way. "Are you serious Sakura?" She confirmed, eyes blinking a few times. Shikamaru wasn't even like Sasuke! So how could Sakura like him in any way?

Tenten as well, was fooled at the girl's lie. "So…you like Shikamaru huh?" The kunoichi nodded with a grin, "Yep!" It was a shock on how enthusiastic she was about liking Shikamaru. Hinata giggled slightly, smarter then most and knew what Sakura was up to – though she said nothing about it, knowing what the girl was up to. Ino had showed the signs Sakura needed to see, and she stood up with her arms in the air. "It feels good to confess things, ne?" Sadly, the wheat-blond kunoichi was speechless, and looked at her hands.

'Sakura likes…Shikamaru?' her thoughts roamed to the possibility. It wasn't fair at all to have the girl like him, and what if she actually succeeded to have him as well? Sakura always took the things Ino wanted…wait—wanted?! The girl blushed invisibly, but she still felt the anger burning inside her. Sakura had always copied Ino, no matter what. She was the first of the two to like Sasuke, and guess what? They both fell for him—now it was Shikamaru who was the victim. 'But I can't like Shikamaru…' Ino told herself, 'maybe I'm just confused.' Yes, that was what she persuaded herself. She was confused about her emotions and Sakura did have her period, so this must be a hormonal thing. She would be over him, Ino told herself with effort. Though, deep inside her felt deniable.

----------------------------------Tsuzuku

Author's Note: I felt like making Day Two separate in two chapters. The end felt really interesting in my view, though it was a bit of Sakura and Tenten's 'incident', and also with Ino's view of Sakura's friend's. Towards the end…Sakura/Ino/Tenten and some Hinata chitchat. I'm sorry but it's very difficult for me to write out Hinata's personality for some reason…it's a bit hard and I know that even though I'm not having her do anything, she's still going OOC. I also know that I have tons of grammar/typos in this paragraph like the last one; I hate it when I begin to write long chapters and I don't even notice it. Thank you though, for reviewing! And Sakura did lie some-way, she thinks she's over Sasuke but I don't really think so. Maybe that's where the NaruSaku opens up, lol. Anyways, to the reviews wondering about how Tenten acted a bit OOC, it's because of her period. She's getting moody and…well, tempered at the moment or else she would've done something to Neji or Lee. I really liked that ShikaIno hint too, it's sweet and funny. Oh, and if you guys noticed, I have changed the genre to Romance and Humor, because it seems more funny then general.

Review –

Okay, I will only be able to answer one question from the reviews at a time…so bare with me readers, and thank you for reviewing. I really appreciate it, it gives me more confidence to continue my story and write more. It had turned out as better then I thought, and it seems like there is a lot of questions for this story and from the last chapter. I will also say my thanks and my welcomes to one review – maybe it should be put as the "review that meant a lot to me" from the last chapter.

Xoni Newcomer ) - I like it. The setting of the story is a bit old (I've already seen it a few times), but yours is by far the best I've seen. It's much better written, aside from a few typos. Also it deals with the pains and problems of such a situation in a much more realistic and intelligent way.

A few details were unexpected, like the girls accepting so readily to be mixed with the boys in the sleeping arrangments. Also, I'd have expected Tenten to force the boys to help after dinner or face a barrage of kunai.

BTW, why leave Shino as the only one not participating in the love games? If Neji and Sasuke can be in love, Shino certainly can too. Personally, I like Shino/Hinata a lot. Make it NaruHinaShinoKiba.

Well…I was going to put the couples like that but then it seemed odd because Shino never really like…showed much of his characteristics in the manga and/or manga so I felt like I needed to focus on Kiba and Hinata first. Then there was this really weird idea that I should've made it NejiTenLeeShino, lol…but then that would be too weird of a coupling. Shino's role right now is to like…help everyone out with their problems (mainly Neji's team which includes Neji himself, Tenten and Lee). Right now he has a good/minor role and I'll see how I can improve him more.

Also, from your second paragraph – I just thought that Ino and Sakura were too busy thinking that they didn't want to room with each other that they never thought of this…and of course, there's a bathroom in each room so changing won't be a problem…or, yeah…sorta, I felt like…you know…or maybe not but yeah…for all you guys that are thinking what I'm thinking…oh never mind! Haha, anyways, for the girls, they go on missions with their team anyways so their already familiar with rooming with their team…so I think they won't mind.

Ah, and the typos…gah, I hate the typos. I don't know why but my Microsoft Words aren't able to detect those stupid grammar and typo mistakes. Also, I read my chapter at least two times and yet, days later I realize that I have errors once I read the chapter over again. Sucks doesn't it? Thank you for your review, it made me think a lot of my story :D

The Infamous Jack - I am enjoying this thoroughly. I especially like how very much Ino and Shikamaru act like they're already married. Priceless material you have, along with above-standard forma and, a rarity among authors, respectable length to your chapters. Get to work on Day Two, I'll R&R in a flash as soon as it's posted.

Also, be nice to Kiba. Too few people remember him, and you've got real potential for a nice Kiba facet to this story. I'd hate to watch that go to waste.

Lol, thanks for your review. I recognized that there aren't that many 'Kiba-characters' throughout the Fictions in Naruto…especially those concerning such a romance. I'll be nice to him, don't worry…and like every other characters, he might go OOC but I guarantee he won't go too far on the 'Naruto-and-Kiba-arguments'. He though does act cute once around Hinata, don't you think? I was inspired to make some parts KibaHina because of what happened at the Chuunin exam…though don't worry NaruHina-fans…you might have a chance!

Ah and yes, the ShikaIno part from the last chapter was very cute I must say…made me want to laugh at what Ino did to him. I know she also went OOC, because the Ino I know would be a bit mean but never that abusive. But…this chapter changed the humor didn't it? And you also know what's happening…makes me sorta sad and…fidget-y. Though, this story also contains InoCho, lol. Thank you very much Jack-san, I hope you stay tune to this chapter and the next!
