Previous chapter:

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."

Chapter 5: Part 2: Bitter Sweet Serenade

Naruto sat on the couch, pouting at the fact he is still hungry and the fact Sasuke made his pet dogs chase him. "Stupid Sasuke…" he grumbled angrily to himself.

Hinata looked at her childish boyfriend and giggled. They've only been in the apartment for half an hour and he already had a fight with the neighbors (He and Neji had a fight coming into the apartment since he was carrying too much stuff that blocked the staircase). "Naruto-kun, do you want to go grocery shopping with me?"

Naruto immediately perked up. "SURE!" the blonde shouted running towards the door. "I'm gonna buy you something," he said kissing her on the cheek.

"Can I pick it?" she asked him, using the powerful puppy dog face.

The blonde nodded and opened the door. What's a small sacrifice for the one you love….

- Hyuuga Mansion -

Neji walked through the gates, Tenten right behind him and saw all his stuff out on the front lawn already. "Guess she wants me out of the house too," he remarked looking at his stuff.

"NEJI!" Hiashi's voice roared across the lawn. Anyone within a 3 mile radius could have probably heard the Hyuuga clan head yell. "Where on earth have you been?"

"I was with Tenten, Hiashi-sama," the boy explained grabbing a box.

Tenten bowed at the sight of Hiashi and picked up a box. Suddenly two branch members was beside her and one took the box in her hands. "HEY!"

"We'll help you move Neji-niisan" a boy with cut, spiked up hair said but he was clearly a Hyuuga.

Neji glared at the two hyuugas that appeared beside his girl. "We don't need your help Hiro, Eiko."

Tenten looked at back and forth at the two beside her. "So these are Hiro and Eiko…the famous Hyuuga Rebel twins." The twins smirked. It wasn't hard to miss them. With his sister's red hair and his hair spiked up accenting their Hyuuga eyes, it was impossible to miss them. Tenten looked at Neji and smirked. "They don't match Naruto's old pranks from what I heard."

Neji smirked back and nodded. "Naruto's pranks were original and are now classic. They cant possibly match up to him."

"YES WE CAN!" the two shouted at the older shinobis. A cough was heard from behind and they all turned to see Hiashi, ticked off for being ignored, still standing their with his paper. "Hi Hiashi-sama."

"Hiro, Eiko…LEAVE," the Hyuuga leader bellowed. The two ran off in a hurry, not wanting to face Hiashi's wrath. "You two, move his stuff." He commanded his own servants to help out his nephew. "You," He pointed his paper to Neji. "Next time, be punctual."

Neji nodded and walked out the gates. The two Main house servants already knew where to go so they went on ahead of the two jounins. "Should we pick up something for lunch?" he asked all of a sudden as they passed some food stalls.

"What did you have in mind?" Tenten asked looking at some vegetables on sale. She glanced over to the supermarket to see a very familiar looking jacket beside a girl withnavyish hair. She smirked.

"I dunno. Let's move my stuff first then go shopping for food." The Hyuuga responded turning to the street the apartments are on.

"Let's go shopping with Sakura and Sasuke." Tenten suggested knowing the two would also be hungry by now.

"hn."

- Sasuke's and Sakura's Apartment -

Sakura stretched out as she stood up. "Finally," she said looking at the now filled bookshelf. She spent the past 2 hours emptying out the boxes of scrolls, medical books, mission logs she and Sasuke had packed and placed them in the bookshelf in the living room.

"Where do you want these?" Sasuke asked holding a box labeled 'FRAGILE'.

"Oh can you set them on the coffee table. I need to put those on the top shelves," she said walking towards the coffee table.

"What are they?" Sasuke asked, setting the box down and opening it for her.

"Pictures." She said smiling at him and handing him the one on top. "Remember that one?"

"Team 7'sgroup picture." He said looking at it. He touched the picture of himself and saw the hatred his eyes had. He glanced over to Naruto who was scoffing and Sakura in the middle, giggling. "We changed…"

"People change. We can't stop that." She said placing a picture of the girls, even Temari, at Tenten's 16th birthday party. The girl didn't want a party but her father still threw one for her (for the sake of celebrating her 16th birthday and to piss her off like hell since she had to wear a dress). All the girls had genuine smiles on their faces while Tenten and Ayame hugged. It was rare enough to see Tenten with her hair down, wearing make up and in a dress but her hugging her sister was even rarer. They were the perfect opposites and yet, in the picture, they looked like they were real close.

"Who's the girl in the middle?" Sasuke asked placing the team picture right beside the picture Sakura was looking at.

Sakura giggled. "That's Tenten in the middle, hugging Ayame, with all of us around her for her 16th birthday."

"That's Tenten and Ayame? They look like twins."

"Well you know how Ayame is. She's my minion on shopping with Ino. It took 5 of us to convince Tenten on wearing her hair down, put on some make up and wear a dress."

"You guys did a good job." Sasuke commented on the picture then regretted not being there to see it for himself. They seemed extremely happy…

Flashback: Tenten's 16th birthday!

"NO NO NO AND NO!" shouted Tenten, dressed in black sweat pants and a baggy shirt saying "you suck" with an animated character on it, at her friends and younger sister.

"You can't back out on this neechan. 'tou-san already prepared this and he already bought you a dress," Ayame informed her, glaring at her older sister.

"It's only for a day Tenten, chill" Temari chimed in. being older than the other girls, she would know how it is. "I lived through mine. You will too."

"I. HATE. DRESSES. I. HATE. MAKE-UP." Tenten said, not bothering to hide the hatred she felt towards the clothing called dresses. The only thing worse than wearing a dress would be make-up. She can live with her hair down but the dress and the make-up was an absolute no.

"Hinata…talk to her…" Ino pleaded the other girl. They all knew Tenten only listened to 2 people. Herself and Hinata. Having spent have her time with Neji, she treated Hinata like a sister too. She often visits the girl at the compound to help her train and build up stamina as well as to help her improve her weapons training.

The Hyuuga sighed. She promised Tenten she wouldn't get in the way but with 4 other people bugging her endlessly to help them get Tenten into a dress the other would probably hate, she was utterly confused on what to do. "Tenten-san, can I talk to you?" the girl asked in a whisper like voice. She went outside to the hallway and waited for her there.

Tenten got up to follow Hinata but gave the other girls a death glare. She closed the door of her bedroom and sighed. "Don't tell me your defecting sides Hinata."

"I'm not…" the girl said. "I think it would be a waste if you didn't go to your own birthday party. Your father, even if he did this to make you mad, threw you a party since he wants you to have a memorable 16th birthday. If your worried about being in a dress, don't. All of us girls will be in one." Hinata said with a smile. She whispered into Tenten's ears, "If you go on with the party, you can probably get Neji-niisan to be your escort and even if he doesn't you get to see him in a suit."

"HINATA!" Tenten shouted, blushing like mad and Hinata giggling at her made it worst. The only one aside from Lee who knew about her 4 year long crush on her stoic teammate was Hinata. Lee knew from the start that she had a crush on their teammate so he would always spar with Gai-sensei instead. He didn't care anyway; time spent with their sensei was happy time for him. Hinata on the other hand found out when they were on a C ranked mission together. They were absently talking about their crushes and the girl told her she liked Naruto. In return, she revealed she had a crush on her older cousin making the other look at her in a confused way. Vowing never to reveal each other's crushes, they pretended like they knew nothing. Sighing in defeat (and the thought of Neji in a suit,) Tenten agreed to her friends demands making Sakura and Ino squeal and her younger sister grin.

"Okay, I guess I should get the dress your gonna be wearing," Ayame said going to her room for a minute then returning with a covered hanger. "Open it."

Tenten gulped and approached the thing on her bed slowly.

Temari, being known for her lack of patience, pushed the doubting girl out of the way and opened the thing herself. "HOLY SHIT! THIS IS PRETTY!" the sand girl exclaimed revealing a light blue, strapless dress to the other girls. The other girls' mouths dropped as Tenten cringed.

"Where the hell are you gonna keep your weapons?" Ayame asked looking at the dress. Even if she was the fashionista of the family, she still loved weapons as much as her sister. And being Tenten's sister, she knows her sister wouldn't go anywhere without at least having a couple of kunais and shurikens on hand.

"Ankle straps I guess." Tenten replied looking at the dress.

"Let's break the news to the guys." Ino said grabbing Tenten's phone before anyone could stop her and calling the only person she knew that could announce it loud enough. "Hey, Naruto. Can you get the other guys to meet up in Tenten's training area? Yes… OF COURSE YOU INVITE CHOUJI! DRAG HIM THEN! FINE I'LL GET HIM! Course you get dog-boy and bug-boy" Ino said mouthing sorry to Hinata afterwards, "What? Yes get them too! THEY ARE HER TEAMMATES! THEY HAVE TO COME! Tell him it's for Tenten. Okay good….WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE TRAINS? It's to the west of your training area, the one with straw dummies, targets and snakes…Yes I said snakes…no you have to go. I DON'T CARE IF YOU HATE SNAKES! You were eaten by one? I DON'T CARE! JSUTY GET THEM THERE!" Ino shouted hanging up. The other girls stared at her as she smiled at them. "Let's go."

Neji sat on a rock meditating, trying to ignore the annoyed rants of the other boys that were gathered by the blonde human megaphone of Konoha. Hell, why was he even there? The only thing the megaphone said was something about Tenten wanting to talk to all of them at her training area? He did make up an excuse but hey, it was his sparring partner and the girl he had a secret crush on. After he saw her with her hair down and wet on mission, his mind secretly wanted to see her like that again. He was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard someone crushing followed by a large 'ow'.

Ino walked into the training grounds, snakes parting away as she dragged the unconscious body of Nara Shikamaru to the middle and kept him there. The other girls followed suite and all of them stood in a semi circle before the guys. "Tenten called you her-"

"YOU called them Ino, not me," Tenten interrupted the blonde. She would rather die a painful and pathetic death than call a bunch of boys she grew up with and trained with every so often than call them out and tell them she was having formal party.

"Fine, I called you here to tell you all Tenten is having a party to celebrate her 16th birthday." Ino finished.

16th…Neji thought to himself…she's turning into a woman already…

"WHOO HOO!" shouted Naruto and Kiba. "PARTY! KEGGER!" with that, both received a punch on the head from Sakura and are now pinned a tree thanks to Tenten.

"WE'RE UNDERAGE!" Temari shouted

"And it's a Formal Party" Sakura said informingly.

"I'll come," Shino said pushing up his glasses. "Just mail me when and where. I have to go." He said turning to leave. "Happy early birthday."

"YOSH! A PARTY TO CELEBRATE THE GROWTH OF OUR TEAM'S DUCKLING TO A SWAN!" Lee yelled then cried at the fact Tenten was already 16. "SOON SHE WILL NO LONGER BE A YOUTH BUT THE BURNING FLAMES OF YOUTH SHALL FOREVER LIVE ON IN YOU!"

"Duckiling to a swan..." Tenten whispered. "I'M NOT A DUCK!"

"Shut up Lee or I'll shut you up." Neji said arms crossed on his rock.

"Kankuro, Gaara your both invited too. And since it is a formal party, you all will have to wear suits." Sakura added.

"Ask Neji-niisan now…" Hinata whispered to Tenten's ear but the older girl pretended not to hear.

"Is everyone ok with that?" Temari asked and the boys nodded. "Anyways we have to get back to Tenten's and -"

"Are you all going to be in a dress?" Neji asked looking directly at Tenten.

"Y-Yes." Hinata responded.

"Aa." He nodded. He got up and started walking away.

Two days before the party and a young woman, in a corset and shorts, ran in the rain barefoot clutching high heels and was panting hard against a rock. "Some friends they are! What the hell is this thing!" she yelled looking downat the corset

"It's a corset." A male voice behind her said and immediately Tenten threw a bunch of kunais at him but he disappeared and reappeared behind her and stopping her from yelling. "Why are you wearing barely anything in the rain?"

"The girls….they are trying to make me wear this thing under my dress…and wear these ridiculous shoes with it" she said holding up the pair of shoes in her hands.

"I see..." he said letting her go. He wanted to see her with her hair down again so he came to a conclusion. "Look, I'll make you a deal."

She raised an eyebrow. "Continue…"

"You go on with this 'party' of yours, full out, and I'll be your escort."

"And if I somehow get a mission that day and leave what will you do?"

"Make you train with the guys in the dress you were supposed to wear for a week."

Tenten flinched. A week. In a dress. Training with guys. Guess only wearing a dress once beats wearing it for a whole 7 days. "Fine I'll go on with this…"

"I'll be over at 6."

Tenten glared at Hiruma and Lee who were crying lakes as she came down the stairs, in her dress and high heels, with her hair down and curled slightly and wearing make-up. "Shut up." she said before her sister could say anything.

"Neechan pwetty." a 4 year old Junpei said, in his small suit holding a bucnh of flowers for his sister.

Tenten smiled at him and noticed her friends there too. "How doI look?"

"Word of advice," Ino said. "keep your hair down. you look better like that."

"Extremely pretty." Sakura said smiling warmly.

"Be a bit girlish...it suits you," Temari joked. Tenten glared more daggers when the doorbell rang.

Right on time, Neji appeared at the door, in his black suit,making all the girls jaws drop on how handsome he looks. "Happy Birthday, Tenten." he said handing her a small box. He tried not to blush as he handed her the box. "You look great."

A warm smile appeared on Tenten's face when her father interuppted them. "Let's get going!"

Flashback end

"It was fun." She said holding a group picture of the guys in suits and the girls in their dresses. "It would have been better if you were there though." Sakura said taking both pictures and putting it on the shelf.

A couple of knocks echoed through the apartment and when Sasuke opening it up, a beaming Tenten greeted him. "Hey! We were going to go grocery shopping and thought you guys might want to come too."

"Sounds good. Wanna come too Sasuke-kun?" Sakura said brushing imaginary dust off her jeans. Sasuke gave her a nod and grabbed his keys.

- Real Konoha Superstore -

"WOW!" Naruto said gapping on how big the store was. Entering the store, the little kid in him immediately took over but was now frozen to the spot .

"Which section do you want to go to first?" Hinata asked beside him, already with a cart.

"CANDY!" Naruto shouted and was about to run off but Hinata held him back.

"We'll get candy after we get bread and stuff ok?" she said to the man beside her. Thank god I thought at the academy for a while…

Naruto gave her a puppy face but decided to go with her anyways. Maybe if he stayed on her good side he'd get a special treat.

After a couple of minutes on picking out beef, chicken etc as well as buying rice, bread and other things they will need for cooking, Naruto wondered something.

"Hinata-chan, where does ramen come from?"

She looked at the boy and stared. He had been eating ramen for the past how many years and he never bothered to ask the cook that question? "Well, first they make the noodles, then they usually cook the toppings and the mix it in a soup then they serve it."

"Really? Is it easy to cook?" he asked as they made their way through the pasta, soup and can food aisle.

"Well I've only made it once and it wasn't that hard to do…" she said looking for some chicken noodle soup.

"Anou…can we make some sometime? I wanna learn how to cook my own ramen!" The boy said cheerily.

"Sure. I have the cook book at home and we can get some ingredients later when we find out what we need."

"YATTA!" Naruto shouted startling everyone.

"Quiet down dobe," Sasuke said entering the aisle. "You're scaring people."

"EH! Sasuke-teme! What are you doing here?"

"Shopping what else…" Neji said, putting some spaghetti noodles into the cart Tenten was guarding.

"Neji-freak is here too?"

"I. Am. Not. A. Freak." Neji retorted but Tenten held him back. "What else do we need from this aisle?"

"Some soup then we can get cereal." Tenten said looking at the list she made the night before with her sister.

"Get the soup, I'll get the cereal let's meet at the vegetables."

"Awww…they sound like a married couple already!" a new voice said from behind all of them making Tenten and Neji blush.

"Shut up woman…this is too troublesome…" Shikamaru scratched his head as he held a basket full of baking supplies.

"Don't shut up me Shikamaru. You're the one who wanted me to cook you cake so you shut up." Ino huffed. "Anyways anyone up for some lunch before we pay for these things?"

"LUNCH!" Naruto shouted earning a bonk to the head from Sakura and Hinata comforting him.

"Why not, we can get some from the food court of this store anyways." Sakura said pointing to the second floor of the store. They all nodded in agreement and looked for what to eat.

"I'll share a pizza with someone," Ino said looking at someone make pizza right before her eyes.

"I'll share with you Ino-pig."

"Thanks Forehead."

"What are you gonna eat Neji?"

"Cant choose yet, you?" he asked the girl beside him who grinned.

"Chicken fingers, potato wedges and a large soda please," she told the guy behind the counter. Neji stared in awe. How come she never gains fat when she ate so much? He knew she was a sweet tooth. But still….how did she never get fat?

"I train with you don't I?" she said as she waited for her order. "To keep up woth you, I need my food. Plus you tire the hell out of me so the fat and sugar I eat just becomes energy quicker. That's why I don't get fat."

How the hell… he thought. He walked away a bit from her and found Sasuke waiting by the sushi stand. "Sushi?"

"Sashimi." The other responded. "From what Sakura told me, their sashimi isn't bad."

The Hyuuga nodded and looked at the menu. "Chicken Yakitori please."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T SERVE RAMEN?" Naruto shouted from the soups.

"I'm sorry sir but we don't," the woman behind the counter said in a cold voice.

"This is too troublesome…" Shikamaru groaned as he went up stairs to find everyone a table.

"Naruto-kun, I'll share my teriyaki with you." Hinata said trying to calm down her angry boyfriend.

"Geez, dobe. Do you always have to be so loud?" Sasuke asked going up the stairs followed by Tenten and Neji.

"How can they not have ramen?"

"Because they know it's all salt?" Tenten said eating some of her wedges. The group giggled and were soon joined by Sakura and Ino.

"I cant believe he had the guts to hit on you," Ino said to Sakura. Sasuke felt his eyebrow twitch slightly.

"He probably hasn't met me so it's nothing big." Sakura responded opening the pizza box. "I have to admit, he was cute though." Sasuke's eyebrow twitched even more.

"Who was?" Tenten asked.

"The guy making the pizzas" Ino said grabbing Tenten's hand and leading her to the stairs.

"He a little brother type cute to me," Tenten said analyzing the guy.

"Neji?" a female voice said. No…that can't be…Tenten thought. That voice...She moved…didn't she…?

"Tsukasa." Neji said staring at the girl.

"Who's she?" Ino asked Tenten.

"Nishino Tsukasa. #3 of our class but she moved away and quit being a ninja. a long time ago."

"How are you? Haven't seen you in a long time." Tsukasa said sitting down on Tenten's seat, smiling the entire time.

"Yeah…7 years…" Neji said trying hard to keep a blush to come on.

"You don't seem to like her," Ino said eyeing Tenten carefully. Her older friend might have kept quiet but she knew she was pissed inside. Tenten didn't hear Ino as she started walking back to teh group.

"Hey Tsukasa. Welcome back to Konoha." Tenten said, putting on a fake smile.

"Tenten! Oh my! I haven't seen you in a while either. How are you?" the girl asked

"Okay. You?" Tenten asked out of curiosity.

"Alright I guess. Back in Konoha for a few days on business then off to the sand I go." Tsukasa said with a smile.

"I see…" Tenten said.

"Yeah. Anyways, I need to get back home. My mother just sent me to get some carrots for her but I noticed Neji and decided to talk to him. Nice seeing you both again."

"Later." Neji said

"Bye." The others chimed in. "Who was that?"

"Nishino Tsukasa.." Neji told them.

"#3 of our graduating class." Tenten added.

"Wait…Nishino…HOLY SHIT SHE'S THE MODEL!" Naruto shouted remembering the ad he passed yesterday.

"Yes she is a model…" Tenten said glaring at Naruto. "She was one while in the academy too."

"Wait, she's the one that hangs out with Raiko's sister right?" Sakura said.

"I think so." Tenten said.

"There were rumors that someone from your class liked Tsukasa." Sakura said trying to remember their academy days.

"I heard them too but I didn't pay attention to them." Tenten said. Neji hung his head and Hinata pretended not to hear anything.

"Hold on, I remember the rumor," Ino said and looked at Neji. "Didn't you like her?"

Neji raised and eyebrow defensively and glared at Ino. Tenten looked at him with disbelieving eyes. "Why the hell would you say that?"

"Because I remember that the rumor said the guy that liked her was from Konoha's nobles. And since most nobles were on our class, I immediately thought it was you."

Neji blushed. "It wasn't me." He felt someone staring at him and turned to see a hurt Tenten. "It wasn't me…"

"Sure,"Naruto said sarcastically.How many other noble families were in your graduating class?"

"Shut up." Neji said turning towards Tenten to explain. she wasnt behind him anymore. "Where'd she go?"

"They finished their food and went back down to finish shopping," Sasuke responded getting up too. "I'll go help them out."

Neji gave Naruto a death glare before following Sasuke. They quickly found Sakura and Ino by the ice cream. "Where's Tenten?"

"She went to the check out counter already." Ino said picking up some vanilla ice cream.

"Damnit!" Neji cursed and ran to the check out counters. No Tenten. He rushed outside and still found no trace of the girl. "KUSO!"

- Inside the supermarket -

"I thought Tsukasa's mom moved with her…" Sakura said towards Ino.

"She did…" Ino said with a grin.

"Then why is she…?"

"That was Temari." Sasuke indicated. "I know her aura."

Sakura froze. Temari was back in the village for some business regarding the leaf and the sand. "Ino you didn't…"

"What? Remember, I'm supposed to help you all get to know each other more so might as well get help doing it."

"But bringing Neji's crush on Tsukasa right in front of Tenten?" Sakura informed her.

"If she really loves him, she'll forgive him. Plus it was easier to reveal his secret than hers…"

"Her secret?" Sakura asked listening to the blonde even more.

- Neji's and Tenten's apartment -

Tenten shut the door behind her, not bothering to lock it and placed the groceries on the dinning table. She sighed and went into their room and locked it. He liked Tsukasa…

"Tenten?" Neji's voice came from the other side.

"Go away…"

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

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

"LOOK! If your thinking 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.

"Let me in…"

"Go. AWAY." She repeated, trying hard to fight back the tears. Neji poofed inside the room and she looked away from him. "I cant believe you…"

"Let me expla-"

"Explain what?" She interrupted, staring right at him. "I'm your best friend Neji. I grew up with you. I've been training with you since the day you asked me back when we were 7. and you didn't bother telling me you liked someone?"

"It was a crush. As I said before I grew out of it."

"It doesn't matter. What matters is that you didn't even bother telling me."

"What good would have that done? Nothing. I liked her for about a week then grew out of it." Neji said almost fuming.

"You grow out of crushes that fast? So I guess what you said to me in the forest this morning has an expiry date too."

"Don't twist my words on me Tenten."

She laughed. "It's funny…You're eyes can see everything…yet you can't see what's right on your nose."

Neji glared. He looked at his nose. "There's nothing on my nose."

She shook her head and got up. "I'm going to unpack in the living room."

- Right outside the Apartment Gates -

"YATTA!" Naruto said carrying some of their groceries. "Candy candy cannndy!" he sang joyfully.

"Are you sure it's a good idea to have bought him candy?" Sakura asked Hinata. Sure Hinata had a lot of patience but Naruto on a sugar high was not a good sight.

"Please keep him 500 meters away from me." Sasuke told the white-eyed girl before showing the guard their I.D.

"I'll- I'll find a way to control him."

"Good luck with that." Sakura said.

"Yo."

"Kakashi-sensei!" Sakura said almost dropping the groceries.

"What no hug?" the silver haired jounnin asked before waving his hand. "Joking Joking. I just came by to visit you guys and see how you all are."

"You're here for Anko-sensei." Sasuke said noticing a fuming Anko by the trees. "You're late again aren't you?"

"He sure is talkative today…" Kakashi commented before running towards Anko. "Sorry I'm late but see I-"

"Can it Kakashi. Kurenai and Asuma are probably wondering where the hell we are." Anko said grabbing his arm tightly and pulled him behind her.

"Later," The masked jounnin said falling in pace with Anko.

"Are they…?" Hinata started to ask.

"No. At least I hope not." Sakura whispered.

"HINATA-CHAN! Let's get back to the apartment so I can eat!" Naruto shouted by the building doors.

"We just ate!" Sakura shouted back veins appearing all over the place.

"I'm still hungry!"

"Dobe…"

Are Kakashi and Anko dating? Will Tenten forgive Neji and tell him how she feels? What is Tenten's secret that Ino knows? What will Hinata do to prevent naruto from going hyper? Find out in 'Part 3: Starting Over'
