CHAPTER 04 :: Morning Conversations

The female ninjas had already left for bed, while the boys were playing cards in their room.

"Full house baby!" Shikamaru revealed his deadly cards and claimed victory. It had been that way for 4 games already, not that the boys expected it any other way.

"GAH! I'm not playing anymore!!" Naruto flicked his cards from his hand.

"Oi! Naruto, not so loud," Shikamaru complained.

Neji and Sasuke both laid down their cards and lied down on their sleeping bags.

"NEJI! SASUKE!! NO TIME FOR SLEEP!" Naruto was obviously hyped up on the hot chocolate.

"Let them sleep Naruto, let them dream about Tenten and Sakura…" Shikamaru smirked.

Both of the black haired boys sat up and stared Shikamaru down.

Shikamaru ignored their eyes that stared kunais, "Oh c'mon, admit it. Me and Naruto both know." He nudged Naruto in the elbow and both of them cracked up.

"What about Ino and Hinata-sama?" Neji remarked smartly.

Sasuke smirked, "Yeah, it's all so obvious."

Naruto hung a fist in the air, "Me and Hinata-chan are just friends!" He blushed a little bit, but just enough so that everyone could see it.

Shikamaru laughed as he noticed it.

"What about you!? You've got the hots for Ino!!" Naruto pointed at the black-haired chuunin.

"What about her? She's just a troublesome girl," Shikamaru soudned bored.

"We saw you when she fell on you, my Byakugan saw stimulations in your chakra points," Neji smiled while his eyes were closed.

Shikamaru blushed. "Damn you and your eyes Neji!" he hissed. "Sasuke's the one who got lucky tonight!"

Sasuke immediately blushed. "I-it was just a dare."

"One that you were so eager to do," Shikamaru replied.

"Yeah, and for so long too," Naruto laughed, but inside he was so jealous.

"Shut up Naruto…" Sasuke muttered.

"And hey, what do you guys think of this Terra girl?" Shikamaru brought up a different subject, seeing as how Sasuke could just kill Naruto any second.

'She's definitely untrustworthy,' Neji thought to himself. Outside his mind, he just lied back down and tried to go to sleep.

"She's so hot," Naruto snickered. "Almost as good as Sakura-chan."

"Have you noticed that she has the same marks as Kiba on her cheeks?" Shikamaru added. "Maybe they're of the same clan."

Sasuke was thinking to himself as well, but soon thought it wasn't of any worth and went to sleep beside Neji.

Shikamaru and Naruto both fell asleep soon as well, both having wonderfully dirty dreams about their girls, Ino and Hinata. ( )

MEANWHILE, in the girl's room.

"So where do you come from Terra?" Sakura asked while preparing her bed.

The girls were freshening up before going to bed.

Sakura had already finished with Terra and were inside the bedroom.

"I'm from a small island beside konoha," Terra spoke in her quiet voice.

"Hm, I've never seen any islands around Konoha," Sakura replied as she fluffed the pillows. Her hair was tied in a single bun with few strands dangling down on her face.

"Yes, we lived in a very small village," Terra twiddled with her fingers and sat down on the floor.

"Okay, Terra, bed's ready for ya," Sakura informed.

Terra blushed, "N-no, I can sleep on the floor," she tried to be be friendly.

"What? And waste all the work I've done for you? Go on, sleep on the bed. I was gonna sleep beside Tenten and listen to her CD-player anyways," Sakura smiled and patted a place on the bed where Terra could sleep.

The blue haired girl just nodded and leapt onto the bed. "Thank you, it's very comfortable."

Sakura smiled brightly, "You're welco-…" she was interrupted by something tackling her down.

"SAKURA!!! FLIRTING WITH OUR GUEST ARE YOU???" It was Ino-chan, she was grabbing Sakura's chest and thighs playfully and laughed.

Sakura managed to push her off, "she's a girl you sick-minded pig," she hissed.

Ino laughed, "my, your breasts have grown, have you been eating corn?"

The pink haired girl blushed a bright pink, "INO I'M GOING TO KILL YOUUU!!"

Terra just blinked sheepishly, "are they always like this?" she asked.

"They usually fight like they hate each other, but deep down I think they really like eachother," Hinata stood beside Terra's bed and blushed nervously.

"Yeah, they love eachother!" Tenten followed after with a huge smirk on her face. "Hey break it up you two, we've got to get some rest, tomorrow we'll be going to the mall."

"Alright…" Ino lied down on her sleeping bag and tried to go to sleep.

Hinata lied down beside her, she had a teddy bear with her and cuddled it for comfort.

"Sakura, come here, I've got a plan for tomorrow…" Tenten whispered.

THE NEXT MORNING…

"Wow! I didn't know you knew how to cook Sasuke," Shikamaru complimented. The boys were already awake and in the kitchen.

"I need to survive if I live alone…" Sasuke replied.

"Good point," Shikamaru began chewing the omlette set down on his plate.

So did Neji and Naruto.

"Pfft, I could cook better…" Naruto murmured, trying his best not to show that this food was the best food he ever tasted in his life.

"Hey look, it's that Terra girl, what's she doing up so early?" Shikamaru noticed. She was outside the screen door.

Terra stared at the outdoor pond and a humming bird fluttered onto Terra's hand. For a moment there, the lighting was just perfect and all the boys were mesmerized by her beauty. Even Neji and Sasuke were impressed, but they didn't show it as much.

"TERRA!!! COME AND EAT WITH US!" Naruto called with a smile.

Terra spun around, the bird flying off. "Oh, did I interrupt your breakfast?" she asked.

"Naw, come and eat!" Shikamaru supported Naruto's idea.

The blue haired girl walked inside and sniffed the aroma that suddenly burst in front of her. "Oh my gosh, that smells so good."

Sasuke sat down with an extra dish for Terra.

Terra sat down, "Where'd you learn to cook?" she asked when she took a bite out of paradise.

"My mother, who is dead," Sasuke replied calmy.

"Oh, I'm sorry…" Terra murmured.

The awkward silence would've kicked in, but Naruto was there, luckily or unluckily.

"So, Terra, do you have a boyfriend?" Naruto asked very loudly.

Hinata had just passed by at this time, she was heading for the washroom, but overheard Naruto and stopped to hear the rest.

Terra blushed, "no…" she said quietly.

"Naruto, making moves on the innocent? That's disgusting!" Shikamaru laughed. "Besides, we all know you like Hinata."

This made Hinata feel relieved, but still stayed to hear the rest.

"NO! I don't like Hinata! We're just friends!" Naruto retorted.

Hinata felt her heart break at that moment. She wanted to cry, but instead just ran to the washroom, pretending she didn't hear a thing. The words still remained in her head though, 'friends, friends, just friends' ran through her head numerous laps.

"Although… I really do think she's nice and pretty…" Naruto murmured loud enough so that everyone at the table could hear. "When she stands up for herself, I can see myself admiring her."

"GOOD MORNING SASUKE!!!" Both Ino and Sakura ran into the kitchen, following their noses.

"Sasuke, can I make you some breakfast?" Ino asked with hearts in her eyes.

"How about a cup of cocoa or tea with my heart melted into it?" Sakura pushed Ino away.

Both of them began fighting amongst eachother.

'In the morning too…' Terra thought to herself, 'how scary.'

"Sasuke has already prepared breakfast," Shikamaru exclaimed, pointing out what the girls had been ignoring.

Naruto suddenly blushed.

Neji noticed this and saw why.

"Um, Sakura-chan, I think you should change your shirt…" Terra muttered nervously.

Sakura's shirt was very see-through and the boys could all see her bra and undies. She even had a tatoo that said Sasuke on her stomach, a small one though.

This made Sasuke blush, but attempted to continue eating calmly.

"Hehehe…" Shikamaru chuckled and nudged Sasuke in the elbow.

"No fair! Sasuke gets to see YOUR body? It's nothing compared to mine!" Ino ruffled Sakura's hair. She thought about taking off her tank and sweats, but she wasn't wearing anything under.

"Why's it so loud in hear?" Tenten had obviously just woken up. Her hair was really messed up, but didn't make her look any worse. She rubbed her eyes to slap some reality back to her them.

Hinata came back from the washroom as well, she avoided looking at Naruto, she was still very ill from the words she heard. Instead, she called the girls to come change their clothes.

Everyone went except for Tenten, who remained to explain the plans for today.

"Sasuke, pass me some of that omlette," Tenten demanded.

Sasuke boringly handed it over and put away his dish.

"So, today I thought we could go to the mall, I heard that a few new movies are coming out today," Tenten exclaimed with food in her mouth. "Mmm, this is really good Sasuke."

"I've heard," was the ninja's simple reply.

"What are we watching?" Shikamaru asked.

Neji stood up to put his dish away as well.

For a moment there, Tenten ignored Shikamaru and just watched Neji's hair dangling, waving in the air. It looked so smooth and silky.

"TENTEN!" Shikamaru snapped to get her attention.

"Oh, right, we're gonna watch a Cinderella story, it's supposed to be really good I hear," Tenten smiled, trying to shake Neji out of her head.

"Oh yeah, Kiba just got back from a mission, why don't we invite him?" Shikamaru added. It was as if Tenten and Shikamaru shared one mind.

Naruto was now finished his second serving and put it away, full enough to pass out. "Cinderella??? What a lame-o movie."

"Naruto??? What a lame-o ninja…." Tenten hissed back. She stood up, "It's settled we're gonna watch Cinderella, I'll call Kiba now." With that, she left the room, leaving her dish for the boys to clean up.

Shikamaru stared at the dish for a minute, "Neji, could you clean up this trash?"

MEANWHILE…

"S-sakura-chan," Hinata whispered. She had already fully dressed herself.

Sakura spun around, "Hm?" she asked sweetly.

"I overheard, Naruto-kun talking and he said that he doesn't like me…" Hinata tried to be quiet so that Terra couldn't hear their conversation.

"What? Do you like him?" Sakura hissed back.

"I thought I made it obvious…" Hinata shyed away and played with her fingers.

"Well don't worry, today, we'll get you two together. God, you just gotta love the mall," Sakura smirked.
