Warning: Some flashbacks and a bucket full of fluff…who knows...if I feel like adding it...there might be a lime in the second part of this chapter.

To my Reviewers: Again sorry for the delay on this chapter. I added some stuff to this that made it longer but it should flow right. Next chapter will be uploaded when I finish with it and it should be a lot longer than this one since it's the afternoon and the evening after they move in. To my SasuSaku readers and reviewers, enjoy this chapter. I liked how thier parts turned out. The NejiTen and NaruHina ones are light on this part but next chapter, a truck load of fluff will be unleashed with all three couples and maybe the other couplesI had in mind. Enough talking from me. Thank you to those who reviewed and everyone enjoy the chapter.

Last bit: For those of you still wondering the pattern of the titles, they are song titles:

Previous Chapter

"No Problem!" shouted the blonde before looking at Hinata's wall clock. "Oh, need to go pack too. See you guys!" he said rushing out the door.

Hinata smiled at her cousin before he left. Naruto explained to her when she got back that Neji left to talk to Tenten. She looked out her bedroom window and up to the setting sun. Tomorrow…I can't wait.

Chapter 5: Part 1: Daybreak Symphony

Tenten couldn't sleep. She looked at her clock. 3:37 it said in a red glow. She groaned and turned over to the other side. She then saw the rest of her now empty room. The only things not yet packed were her bathroom things, a couple of her picture frames, her alarm clock and her pillow she couldn't sleep without. She sighed, knowing she won't get anymore sleep and sat up on her bed. She looked around her room, wondering where the pillow her mom made for her when she was little was and found it on the floor like always. She smiled, remembering the times her mother bribed her father to get her and Ayame out of the house so she can wash the pillows she made them and get them back into their rooms without then noticing they were washed. She got up from bed and picked up the pillow, tossing it on the bed she had just occupied before going to the window. She opened it up, letting the cool breeze in and looked up at the half moon.

"Can't sleep?" asked someone under her window.

"I've gotten used to waking up this early to train with you so it's hard to break habit." She replied not bothering to look at who it was. She knew that at exactly 3:40, he would be waiting outside, right under her window and would throw 3 rocks signaling he was there. At 4 am, she would emerge for the back door, bag with their breakfast in tow along with her arsenal of weapons and then they would train until she was hungry. Today was different though. He threw no rocks. She wasn't bothering to get them breakfast. They weren't training.

"Nervous or excited?" Neji asked looking directly ahead towards the family garden.

"Both I guess." Tenten said looking down at him. She smiled at him before replying some more. "Nervous since I have to live with you for three months but excited with the exact same fact. Nervous since I have to live away from home but excited to be free from my dad and my siblings. I guess I'm torn between the two. How about you?"

"I'm excited to not be living in the mansion anymore but I'll miss my mom…" he said looking at the stars. Another cool breeze blew by and they stayed in silence for a few minutes, just enjoying each other's company. "Wanna train?" he asked looking up to her.

She looked down and saw his white orbs reflect the light the moon gave off. His eyes are like the moon. She thought. "I'll be right down. Come in though. It's a bit chilly." She said smiling at her best friend and soon to be husband.

- Hyuuga Mansion: 5 am -

Hyuuga Asuka woke up at the sound of the chirping birds. She got off her bed and opened the door silently looking outside to see if anyone else is up. She made her way towards the rooms her son occupied and opened the door silently. As expected, Neji wasn't in bed though it seems all his stuff wasn't moved yet either. Training with Tenten I guess. She thought smiling at the fact the two still can't break their training regiment. She closed the door and made her way towards the Main house quarters expecting Hiashi to be up already and bossing around people to help move Hinata's stuff.

Hinata walked out of her room, dressed in black Capri pants and abeige three quarters top and greeted her aunt with a nod. "Asuka-san, my father wants to talk to you about the whereabouts of Neji-niisan."

Asuka chuckled. "He should know Neji by now. Where is your father anyways?"

Hinata pointed to the Hyuuga dining hall before excusing herself. "Naruto-kun said he'll be here around 5:10 to help with the boxes that my father moved already. I'll go wait for him by the gates to tell him we can just move his stuff."

Asuka waved goodbye to her niece before making her way towards the Hyuuga dining hall.

Hiashi sat at the head of the table, bossing around some of the servants for things. When Asuka came in he almost roared at his sister in law but remained his posture. "Where is Neji?" he asked as calmly as possible.

Asuka sat down and asked for some breakfast. "He's training with Tenten," she replied calmly.

"Training? Why is he training when he's supposed to be moving?" Hiashi shouted, losing all his calm.

"Don't worry. I sent for one of my servants to get him. He should be back soon," Asuka said taking a sip of her tea and smiled at Hiashi. Hiashi grunted and went back to ordering people around.

- Sasuke's House: 4:30 am -

Sasuke looked around his empty house, making sure there was nothing he had forgotten for this 3 month 'vacation'. Closing the front door for the last time, he looked around the peace that surrounded his house. He missed this in the sound. He smiled slightly before looking over at the boxes he had packed. Ares and Erebus laid at the foot of the boxes, still guarding them even in sleep. He whistled and both dogs shot up and came towards him, stopping right before him and waited for his command.

"Want to go for a walk?" he asked the dogs and both barked. "Let's go visit Sakura."

- Naruto's house: 4:45 am -

BEEEP! BEEEP! BEEEP! BEEEP! The alarm across the room rang. A hand grabbed a pillow by reflex and covered the face of the person before turning over. Searching for anyting projectable, Naruto's semi-concious mind hurled the sandal he found at the clock hitting the switch at the side to 'OFF'.

"ZzZzZzZzzZzZzZz" the blonde snored louder, happier the alarm was off.

- Sakura's house: 4:40 am -

"Books and scrolls?" the cherry blossom looked for the labeled box. "Check. Stuffed animals? Check. Bathroom necessities? Check. Picture of family and friends. Check."

There was a knock on the door and Sakura's mom entered holing a mug of tea. "Double checking?"

Sakura nodded and went back to her checklist. "Looks like everything's packed," she said standing up.

"That's good." Her father said at the door behind her mother holding two mugs and handing one to Sakura. "I'll start bringing the boxes down. You eat breakfast."

Nodding, Sakura hugged both her parents on the way to the kitchen and to call Sasuke like he asked her to.

- Training Grounds: 4:55 am -

Holding onto a tree, Tenten panted harder and faster than ever before. They've been training non-stop for at least an hour and a half buttheir bodies were still burning with pent up energy waiting to be released. Before her, Neji too was panting, apparently exhausted from using his kaiten and vaccum palm moves way too much to deflect her attacks. "I should have brought some food…" she said out loud.

"You didn't though," Neji said, walking towards her. "Let's get back to your house and have breakfast."

"Why my house? Yours is closer," Tenten replied, picking up her scrolls from the ground.

"It's been a while since I had breakfast at your house." Neji said simply.

"That's true…but don't you have to move your stuff?" she asked walking beside him.

"You do too so let's eat breakfast at your house, move your stuff in first since the apartment is closer to your house then go to my house and move my stuff."

"You just want my dad's omelet…"

"No…" Neji said shifting his eyes from side to side but Tenten didn't notice. "That way, there are two people moving the stuff making things go by faster and we can settle in faster too."

"Fine. Whatever." Tenten said in defeat. Damn him and his genius-ness…

- Naruto's house: 5:15ish am -

"Haaaaaaaaaaa…" Naruto yawned and stretched, getting up from bed. He looked at his clock.

5:16

"DAMN!" he yelled rushing towards the bathroom. "I'm late!"

- Hyuuga Mansion: 5:10 am -

A knock sounded at the dining hall door and the messenger came in.

"Asuka-san, Neji-san was not in his usual training grounds," the boy said bowing.

"Where the hell is that child then?" Hiashi roared making the boy cower.

"However," the boy continued. "I saw him with Tenten-san. They said they were going to eat breakfast at her house then he will help her move to the apartment before he moves his own stuff."

Asuka beamed at Hiashi who fell silent. "Thank you Jiri. You may go." The boy nodded and slipped out the dining hall. "I told you he'd be with Tenten."

"Shut up." The main house leader growled, returning to his newspaper. Hinata then came in and sat down beside her father. "Weren't you waiting for Naruto?"

"He's late I would guess..." Hinata said not looking disappointed that her boyfriend is late.

"And you're ok with him being late?" her father asked her.

"His sensei was Kakashi." The girl replied taking a part of the news paper her father was not reading and started reading it.

"That's true." Asuka replied. "Well, I must go ask some people to move Neji's stuff to the front lawn so he and Tenten can just move it when he eventually comes."

"What makes you think Tenten will help him?" Hiashi asked as if he knew more than Asuka about her son.

"They made up Hiashi. Get with the program." The branch member widow said going towards the branch house.

- Sakura's House: 4:45am -

Finishing up her cereal and apple, Sakura was on the verge of calling Sasuke's house when the doorbell rang.

"Coming!" the pink haired girl yelled from the kitchen. She made her way towards the door and to her surprise; the person she was just about to call was there. "Good morning Sasuke-kun."

"Good Morning Sakura, Mr.Haruno." Sasuke greeted the man holding a box labeled "Stuffed Animals"

"Uchiha-san. Good morning to you too." The man replied cheerily. "Would you like a cup of coffee?"

"Thank you but I already had some breakfast." Sasuke replied politely before turning his attention to his purple clad friend. "Can I speak to you outside?"

"Sure but why not in here instead?" Sakura suggested noting the fact Sasuke was wearing a jacket and sweatpants.

"The dogs are outside." The other replied earning an 'Oh, Okay' from Sakura.

Grabbing her jacket, Sakura followed him outside towards his waiting dogs, both sitting patiently at sidewalk. "What did you want to talk about Sasuke-kun?"

"The apartment we're moving into." He said bending down feed the dogs some treats. "There is a slight problem."

"What slight problem?"

Sasuke sighed. How was he going to break this to her?

FLASHBACK: Walk to the cherry blossom!

Sasuke walked towards Sakura's house, hoping to catch her parents already awake and be able to speak to them in private. Sasuke had given a lot of thought and since he had no parents and did not trust Kakashi with his problems at all (he was sure the one-eyed jounnin would tell everyone in the town about it), he resolved to talking to Sakura's parents about his problem.

And what is his problem? Her. She had been invading his thoughts, his dreams and when he lets his mind wander even by a bit, he would always picture her. He didn't know what it was but he somewhat liked her invading thoughts. He also didn't know why he had kissed her the day before. It seemed like a good thing to do and though his mind told him it was wrong, he did it anyways. Since when did he ever listen to his conscience? He sure didn't listen to it when he ran off to join the sound.

During this time, Erebus saw a ball at the end of another street. Being part dog and part wolf, the canine instinct immediately took ovee and it rushed towards the round object like a bullet out of a gun.

"Erebus!" Sasuke shouted, pursuing the dog while the other one ran behind him. Erebus chewed on his new found toy and ran towards Sasuke with the ball in his mouth. "Bad Dog!" Sasuke said waving his finger at the dog. He noticed the street he was on and decided since he was there anyways, might as well find out where he and Sakura will be living for the next 3 months. Finding the address was easy but what he saw he couldn't believe.

Before him were 2 huge buildings, facing each other. In the middle was this park walk full of trees and flowers and he could see what appeared to be a playground near the far end of the 'park'

"May I help you sir?" the man at the gate said.

"Yes. I was wanted some information regardingapartment 2246." Sasuke said casually.

"2246. Very nice apartment. It's in the building to the left. Fully furnished, one bedroom apartment the Hokage herself requested."

"Wait, One bedroom?" Sasuke asked the man.

"Yes. Godaime specifiacally asked for 2242, 2244, and 2246 which are all one bedroom apartments."

Crap…he thought to himself. "Thanks." Sasuke said to the man and motioned the dogs to follow him. Minor problem…

Flashback end.

"The apartment only has one bedroom." Sasuke said as fast as he could knowing she would still catch ever word he said.

"So?" She said unfazed of the fact he told her. "We were team mates before. We've slept on the same bed before. It's no big deal."

For you it isn't. For me it is. Sasuke thought before masking his worry. "You're right. Are you ready to move yet?"

"My dad is going to help us move my stuff. He said he'll help with your stuff too." Sakura said smiling at him.

Good I can talk to him then. "Better get ready then huh?" Sakura nodded and reopened the door. The girl stopped and turned around to kiss him on the lips, catching him off guard. He then realized what was going on and kissed her back. She broke off the kiss and smiled at him.

"For yesterday." She said reentering the house to get ready for the next few months with him…then eternity.

- Hyuuga Manor: 5:25am -

DING DONG! The door bell rang. Naruto held on to the gate's bars, panting very heavily. Running for his apartment to the Hyuuga manor which was a good 2 miles away, in less than 8 seconds, was not the exercise he was looking for in the morning.

"Hello Naruto-kun" Hinata greeted and hugged him.

"Sorry I'm late Hinata-chan. I overslept." He said scratching the back of his head. Hinata giggled.

"At least your excuses for being late are legitimate compared to Kakashi-sensei's" she said motioning him to come in.

Naruto chuckled. "Guess I got used to waking up later since he was always late." He looked around for the boxes he had helped put on the lawn before going home. "Say where are your boxes?"

"Otousan couldn't sleep last night. He ordered the servants to move my stuff to the apartment at 4 am."

Naruto pouted. "I wanted to help…" he whined like a child. Hinata giggled and kissed him on the cheek.

"Don't worry Naruto-kun. I'll help you move then." She said grabbing his hand and leading him to the dining hall. Hiashi looked up from his paper and gave his daughter and future son in law a weird look. "I'm taking aToshi-niichan to help Naruto-kun move his stuff."

"Take the other two too," Hiashi said going back to his paper.

"I don't need help…" Naruto said but was ignored by both Hyuugas. He shook his head but followed his girlfriend who was talking to two other Hyuugas.

"Naruto-kun, these are my younger cousins, Hiro and Eiko." Hinata said introducing the two hyuugas beside her. "They're twins"

"Neji has siblings?" Naruto asked. The only Hyuuga cousin hehad ever met wasNeji.

"No, they are the son and daughter of my other uncle."

"So this is the brat who's going to marry Hime-neechan" Eiko said to her brother.

"Guess so." Hiro replied poking Naruto on the shoulder. "Scrawny. What's up with his face? Why does he have whiskers?"

Naruto glared at the twins. Unlike most Hyuuga males, Hiro had his hair cut. It was still long but it was spiked up with some falling in front of his eyes. Eiko on the other had looked like a normal Hyuuga though her hair was red instead of black. "Who are you calling scrawny, you brats?"

The twins smiled. Before the twins could do anything, Hinata interrupted. "Where is Toshiro-niichan?"

"Looking for me, Hime-chan?" a taller, more traditional looking Hyuuga came from the branch house part of the compound.

"Toshi-nii," Hiro and Eiko bowed before disappearing. Naruto smirked at the sight of the two running off.

"Toshi-nii can you help Naruto-kun and I move stuff from his apartment to the new apartment?"

The older Hyuuga nodded and looked at Naruto. So you're the one chosen to wed my younger cousin. "One warning. You hurt her, you die. Not just by my hands, but in the hands of her other cousins including Neji."

Naruto paled and nodded meekly. He's been at the opposite end of the Hyuuga's famous 64 hands of Hakke and the mere thought of all Hinata's cousins doing it to him all at once made his head hurt even more.

- Matsumoto House: 5:24 am -

"Happy Neji?" Tenten said, washing the dishes from breakfast. The Hyuuga sat at the table smirked at her which irked her even more. She shook her head and continued her work. "You just wanted my dad to cook you his omelet."

"It's a nice break from the meals we always have at the training grounds or the extremely bland Hyuuga house food." He said drinking the rest of his tea. Hiruma came down with a box that was obviously Tenten's.

"I'll start moving your stuff!" Hiruma shouted getting a soapy sponge on the face.

"YOU WANT ME OUT THAT BADLY?" Tenten yelled.

"YES!" Hiruma said running away with the box before Tenten could throw a knife at him.

Neji looked on. It always amused him how Tenten's family functions. It was the exact opposite of his. Hiruma worked, Tenten took care of the store and her siblings and helped out her father when she didn't have a mission, Ayame looked after the house and the store's finances and stuff and Junpei was the family gopher. Having grown up with Lee as an older brother figure, it was no wonder the boy can already run 40 yards (52 meters I think) in 4.2 seconds. They would always fight (mostly Tenten versus Hiruma) but in the end, everyone is back to being themselves. It was the type of mutual bond is his family lacked. All the Hyuugas wanted was peace and quiet. This is why he enjoyed going to her house. He liked seeing actual interaction within the family unlike his own. Of course, he would never tell her he enjoyed being around her family. That would just make him look weak. Right?

"Neji?" Tenten asked. "Are you going to help?" she asked him holding two boxes in her hands.

"Sorry," he said apologetically trying to grab one of her boxes but she moved away.

"These are just stuffed animals. There are only 2 more boxes up there. Can you take one of them? I'm sure my dad will take the other one."

"Stuffed animals?" Neji questioned his team mate. Never would he have imagined her with anything fluffy let alone cute.

"Collection," Tenten said by the door. "My mom got me one for my birthday and other one on my half birthday every year." She said sadly.

"I see. I'll get the last boxes. I'll meet you at the apartment gates."

- Konoha Towers: 5:40 am -

"And Godaime-sama instructed me to give this to you once you both have moved in," the gate officer said handing Sasuke a scroll. "Enjoy your stay at Konoha Towers."

"Thank you." Sakura said reentering the gates. She absolutely loved the scenery. The park in the middle was full of maples and cherry blossom trees. It looked great in thefall"It's a great place isn't it Sasuke-kun?"

"Aa," the boy replied from beside, hand in his pockets. "We're inamiddle apartment…so this means we have neighbors on both sides." Sasuke said looking towards the building. "Good thing the dogs are trained well."

"It shouldn't be a problem," Sakura said looking at the gates again. "Hey Tenten and Neji are here. I'll go help them."

"Ok. I'm gonna head back to the apartment and get some stuff unpacked. Which of your boxes goes into the room?"

"The two labeled clothes and the one labeled S.A." Sakura replied giving him a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks." She said before running off to the gate. "TENTEN!"

"Hey Sakura." Tenten greeted from the other side of the gate. Hiruma and Neji stood behind her.

"Apartment 2242," the guard said opening the gates. "Left building, second floor."

"I'll show you guys!" Sakura said taking a box from Tenten. "Sasuke and I got 2246."

"Thanks Sakura." Tenten said picking up anotherbox from the floor. "Any sign of Hinata or Naruto yet?"

"Nope. I heard from the guard that Hinata's stuff was moved in at 4 though. Guess Hiashi-san went into a panic again."

- Sasuke & Sakura's Apartment -

Sasuke moved the three boxes Sakura wanted in the room by the closet. He sighed and sat down on the bed opening one of his boxes. He remembered what he talked with Sakura's parents earlier that day while putting away his clothes...

Flashback: Sasuke's talk with Mr. and Mrs. Haruno

"Let me take that from you, Haruno-san" Sasuke said offering to take what seemed to be a box full of Sakura's clothes.

"It's ok Sasuke," the older man said placing the box by the door. "I can't believe my baby is moving out already…" the man said sadly looking up the stairs.

"She'll be ok…" Sasuke reassured the man, not knowing how to tell him his problem.

"Something bothering you Sasuke?" the man said going up the stairs, Sasuke following him right behind. They can hear Sakura's singing in the shower. They reached Sakura's room and grabbed the last of the boxes and headed back down. "You can talk to me you know," the father said. "I've gotten used to your presence around Sakura."

"It's just…" Sasuke started and sighed looking at the bathroom door. "I've been feeling confused lately."

"Confused?"

"About my feelings towards Sakura."

"How so?"

"I've been thinking a lot more about her. Every chance I get, my mind wanders to her. And I don't think it's annoying at all."

"Sounds like someone's in love," a female voice chimed in. Both men turned to see Sakura's mom. "Morning Sasuke."

"Haruno-san" Sasuke replied.

"She's right Sasuke. The feeling you're experiencing is called being in love."

"But…"Sasuke started but was stopped with two shaking heads.

"When you came back, our Sakura was the only one who was around you. All that time, she provided you comfort and someone to talk to." The older male said.

"You eventually grew to accept her friendship but it also made you realize something. You realized that you've taken for granted the friendship you had before you left for Orochimaru and now feel compelled to redeem yourself." Mrs. Haruno added.

"But Sakura, being Sakura, didn't seem to mind the fact you were a traitor and just saw you as a long lost friend that she can try to regain the friendship of. That gave you the sense of belonging and it made you open up to her and you confided in her."

"For years she was your sole friend so it was inevitable that you will develop feelings more than friendship for her. If you ask me, I'm happy that it was you who gets to marry our daughter and I'm even happier now that I know you love her." Mr. Haruno said standing up and placing a hand on Sasuke's shoulder. "I'm just glad it's you and not Naruto," he joked and patted Sasuke. "Don't tell Naruto I said that though. I owe the kid a 50 from a poker game."

They read me like a book….he thought to himself, smiling inwardly at the happy older couple in front of him preparing to help with their daughter's stuff. Am I in love with Sakura? She does make my day better when I see her. I do regret leaving her behind…especially at the park…I…I am in love… "Thank you both." Sasuke said smiling a genuine smile at his future in-laws.

Flashback end

I am in love with her… he thought to himself as the bedroom door opened.

"And this is our room. Hey Sasuke-kun." Sakura said showing Tenten and Neji their apartment.

"Hey Sasuke," Tenten said with a smile.

"Uchiha." Neji greeted with a nod.

"Hyuuga, Tenten, welcome." He said putting away his shirts.

"Tenten, we better get going to my house to pick up my stuff. I think my mother has covered for me long enough." Neji said turning away to leave.

"Fine, fine..." Tenten said leaving with Neji. "Talk to you after we move his stuff okay Sakura."

"kay" Sakura responded closing the apartment door behind them before returning to the bedroom. "You ok Sasuke-kun?"

"Huh? Yeah. Just thinking." He said putting away more clothes. Sakura started putting away some of her own clothes. "Sakura, I have a question."

"Shoot," she said with a smile.

How can I ask her…how… "Um….ah… You don't mind the dogs living with us do you?" he asked in a hurry. His inner self was beating himself up for not asking her how she feels about him.

"I don't mind at all. It'll be easier if two people took care of them and I think they're cute anyways." She said looking at the clock they had in the room. "Wow its just 6:12." She remarked laying down on the bed. She yawned and stared at the ceiling. She turned to her side to face Sasuke. "Aren't you tired?"

"Not really." He said opening his box of scrolls and copies of mission logs. He looked at the box with a bored expression and closed it again making the girl beside him giggle. "What?"

"Being lazy?" Sakura asked.

"What's it to you?" he asked hovering over her.

"Nothing," she replied poking his nose. "It's just not like you to be lazy."

"I have my moments," Sasuke said inching closer to her lips again.

"I'm HUNGRY!" a familiar voice rang outside their apartment door, snapping away the romance and replacing it with annoyance.

"Sounds like he's here." Sakura said sitting up.

"I'll go greet the dobe." Sasuke said going to the door and opening it to find a pouting Naruto on the hallway floor. "What are you doing dobe?"

"What does it look like Sasuke-teme! I'm whining." The boy retaliated.

"Are you sure you're 18?"

"Shut up!"

"You're the one yelling dobe, not me."

"That's because I'm hungry!"

"Lunch is only a few hours away dobe!"

"But I'm hungry already!" Naruto whined.

"You should have ate before you came here!" Sasuke yelled back at the blonde.

"I didn't want to though!" the blonde retaliated.

Sasuke had enough...it was hard enough to find out there was only 1 bedroom in the apartment, that he was too chicken to admit he was in love with his closest friend but he had to live beside the blonde dobe for 3 months? That was the last straw. He opened the door to the apartment he and Sakura shared calmly. "SICK HIM ARES! EREBUS!"

The dogs ran out from the apartment and ran towards Naruto. "ARGH! DAMNIT SASUKE TEME!" Naruto yelled running into his apartment and slamming the door.

"That wasn't nice Sasuke-kun." Sakura said from the door.

"hn."

- Streets to the Hyuuga Mansion: Time irrelevant -

Neji walked with hands crossed across his chest while Tenten walked kicking a rock as she did. They glanced at each other from time to time but didn't say a word.

That's it… Neji thought grabbing Tenten's hand all of a sudden and teleporting them back to their training grounds.

"What the hell was that for Neji!" Tenten yelled at him. Without warning, Neji pushed her back to a tree and held her hands above her head. "WHAT THE F-"

Neji's lips were on top of hers all of a sudden, silencing her right away. After a second, she gave in and responded. Neji let her hands go and let them travel to her waist. Tenten instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer to deepen the kiss. Gasping for air, both broke away but didn't let go of each other.

"That was for yesterday." Neji informed her, knowing she would be confused.

"The almost kiss Sakura interrupted?" Tenten asked earning a nod from the boy she has holding. "Does this mean you like me?"

"What do you think?" he said leaning down again.

"I think we should pretend this thing is driving us further apart to confuse people," she said with an evil glint in her eyes.

"That's just evil," he said kissing her on the lips lightly. "I like it."

"Good. Let's put it to plan once we move your stuff."

"Great idea."

Will Tenten and Neji's plan work or will it backfire even before they start it? Will they get along? How will the others cope with the fact the apartment only has 1 bedroom? find out next chapter.
I am sorry for the delay on my updates but school is keeping me busy. I will try to upload the next chapter later this week if not i'll start making Tuesday night (in the east coast) my update day. Anyways thanks again to my reviewers. Note: i hinted on bleach again on this chapter...it's a reflex now..
Preview: Chapter 5: Part 2 and 3: Bitter Sweet Serenade and Starting Over

"Let me in Tenten..." Neji pleaded from the other side of the bedroom.

"NO!" she said sitting on teh bed, hugging her favorite pillow tightly. That jerk! Why didnt he tell me? WHY? I'm his best friend!

"LOOK! If your thinging about that, don't. It was a crush! A harmless crush! I grew out of it!" Neji reasoned.

Some crushes you just can't grow out of Neji... Tenten thought to herself.
