I Wanna Be A Supermodel
Summary: Tenten is an ordinary girl who was thrown into the crazy world of showbiz. Can she survive? Pairings are: NaruHina SasuSaku InoShikaTema and eventual NejiTen. Read & Review pls!
SARAFU-CHAN: Hi guys! Sorry for the lack of updates lately, I've been busy. Hehe, I've gotta help out my cousins in the province and so I forgot to update!
Now mail time! (I forgot, with every ice cream you get, you can get the special limited edition of "Chipmunks and Squirrels Beating The Hell Out Of ChibiKakashi Stickers." Go on. Stick them here, there and everywhere. Show the people that even Kakashi is also vulnerable to the power of animals.)
loo: My story sucks and it's the worse written fic you've read! Obviously, you are flaming me. And OBVIOUSLY you have some problems.
FireDragonBL: I know! But I already updated it! The thought of it as 'Miss Tenten' alone already crossed my mind but then some pigs MAGICALLY flew inside my head! Anyway, here's an ice cream for you!
Lady Snow Blood: Yay! Another update! (happily hands an ice cream)
i-dream-of-blue-eyes: Thanks for all those nice words! And yes, it was so tragic that Sasuke kicked the cute puppy…but there is a plot about that same puppy later on the next chapters! BWAHAHAHA! (gives yummy ice cream) Chipmunks can kick Kakashi's butt!
hibiyuru: Thank you for reviewing! (gives an ice cream too) The "wrong flashback" is kinda an accident cause I was really typing it to be Sakura stalking Sasuke and then gets lost near the river. But then my mind drifted off and I typed Sasuke kicking a cute puppy and I was too lazy to erase it so I just typed "wrong flashback" And btw, you finding my story funny kinda pleases me because frankly, whenever I type my story, I usually have second thoughts if I made the right decision in putting "humor" as the sub-genre.
babykitty2070: YEAH! This has some slight SasuSaku in it again and Ino will be jealous…AGAIN! (throws the ice cream)
Cyberwing: (gives an ice cream) Sakura is very determined when it comes to Sasuke. Ah, love!
evanescently: Thanks for telling me the characters aren't OOC at all. I want to make the characters as true as to who they are in the anime. (hands another ice cream)
moonlightpath: No! Do not die! (hurriedly gives a yummy ice cream) Feeling better? Sorry for not updating quickly!
animEvivvErz: (throws a tasty ice cream) Hehe, Sakura respects Sasuke but most of all, she respects her heart. Just read this new chapter to find out Sasuke's reaction.
paperpenman: Lot of big words? That's so funny 'cause I tend to get angry at myself for always using the same words in my fic. (gives an ice cream)
Ayuka-chan: Thank you. (bows gratefully) It is an honor to be given such a wonderful gift. I shall take it upon myself to take care of your second most prized possession in your collection of extras. (hands an ice cream)
SARAFU-CHAN: By the way, CHIBIKAKASHI isn't here, he's in the hospital recuperating from the…er, injuries he received from my new army of chipmunks and squirrels. Don't worry though! I found his new replacement! Ta-daa!
CHIBIITACHI: What am I doing here?
SARAFU-CHAN: Hey, calm down! Just sent you to be my new muse!
CHIBIITACHI: Muse? What nonsense is that? I have much important things to do in the Akatsuki. I'm going!
SARAFU-CHAN: Noooooo! You can't go! Or else I'll use…The Forbidden 'No Desert Tonight No Jutsu!'
CHIBIITACHI: Gasp!
SARAFU-CHAN: That's right, for you people who don't know what the 'No Desert Tonight No Jutsu' is, it was the jutsu used by Itachi and Sasuke's mom to discipline their kids. Unfortunately, it backfired on her because Itachi went on a killing spree just to find the recipe.
CHIBIITACHI: Grr…All right. But just this one chapter!
SARAFU-CHAN: Right! And kiddies, I do not own Naruto no matter how hard I wish on a falling star.

Sakura looked at the crowd gathering before her. Surely, she thought wryly, that they will feast on the new announcement she would make. Her feelings are true, her feelings for Sasuke is growing fondness. No one can stand in her way!
She looked at the crowd again and saw Yamanaka Ino on the front row, a smirk playing on her face. Sakura wanted her former best friend back but if the only way to get Sasuke is to get pass through her, she will do so.
This brave pink-haired girl would put her pride, reputation and friendship just for love.
Her one great love, Uchiha Sasuke.
"The time now is 4:30 PM." Tsunade said on the microphone. "We are here for the press conference. You may start asking-" For a second, Tsunade became startled as Sakura raised a hand, signaling her manager to stop talking. She smiled at Tsunade, as if trying to assure her that everything would turn out for the best. Tsunade then gave her the microphone.
"I…I have a very important announcement." Sakura said as the media's curiosity began to burn.
"I want the whole world to know," Insert sounds of drumroll here, "That I, Haruno Sakura, am indeed in love with Uchiha Sasuke!"
The room was then filled with gasps and camera flashes. Sakura was smiling to herself proudly. Sasuke, who was at the back was as shocked as the entire world of Sakura's bold move that may just as well be a career-suicide. Ino too had her mouth hanging open in the front row, unable to believe that Sakura would actually declare publicly of her love for the actor.
A brave reporter for the Entertainment news was the first to get over the shock, "Miss Haruno, if this confession is true, what do you think of Mr. Uchiha and Miss Yamanaka being paired in My Love Forever?" Ino involuntary cringed. Sasuke glared at the man from behind.
"Ah yes. That." Sakura replied sadly, a frown appearing on her face. "Ino is a special friend of mine. But…If to get Sasuke means rivaling her, then that is fine."
Murmurs echoed throughout the room. Ino stood from her seat and taking the microphone away from the reporter, faced Sakura. "So that is your game, huh? Well I won't lose! Who will Sasuke choose? The girl who was obsessed with him from elementary until now or me, Yamanaka Ino, the beautiful and hardworking lady who made a name for herself not only here in Konoha but also in other places?"
"I guess we'll have to find out, huh?" Sakura said coolly, a smile appearing on her face.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Annoying girl…" Sasuke muttered as he walked outside the building to go to his car.
"Yo!"
"Kakashi," said Sasuke as he got the keys from his pocket. "You're late. Again."
"Sorry." Kakashi smiled sheepishly. "But hey, on the bright side of things, I came just in time to hear Sakura's shocking announcement. Aggressive kind of girl, isn't she? Not afraid to ruin her image just for you, her dearest Sasuke-kun." He then gave a wink but Sasuke only scowled.
"On the other hand, the Yamanaka girl isn't a bad choice either. She's a talented fashion designer and a superb actress. Maybe you would prefer her, no? This is a tough one… Actually, I am rooting for Sakura but if Ino is your girl, I wouldn't mind it that much." Kakashi thoughtfully said, his hand on his chin. "What do you think?"
"Grr… I don't have any time for this!" Sasuke said. Clearly irritated now, he just scowled some more.
"What? No time for a love life?" Kakashi exclaimed, feigning surprise. Actually, he knew that Sasuke isn't a very social person but by the way he's going, he might turn out to be a bachelor. For life! Shuddering, he quickly dismissed the though aside. "Sasuke, you're missing out on a lot! Think about your future children!"
"Grr…"
"This is not good." Kakashi said to no one in particular. "Ah! I know! What do you say if we start a reality show centering around you, Sakura and Ino! It'll be called…uh, "The Race For Sasuke's Heart Show!" I'm sure it'll do well in the ratings. I have to go and tell it to the executives." Kakashi patted himself in the back. "I truly am a genius."
"Kakashi!" A vein popped in Sasuke's head. He was seriously pissed right now and Kakashi is not helping at all.

Temari made a small paper fan while looking at Shikamaru as he read the report she made.
When she applied for the work as the new marketing strategist, she was easily defeated by this young man, whose eyes speak of unruffled boredom. This angered her silently and when she was called upon by the company to be his secretary, she was determined in getting to know him better and to prove that she is better than him. This Nara Shikamaru then added more fuel into the fire on the first day they met.
"Sir Shikamaru, is it?" Temari asked as Shikamaru's eyes were still focused on the sky while looking outside the window. "Why did you apply for the job of marketing strategist?"
For a moment, there was silence.
"It's a troublesome job really but one must pay his bills." Shikamaru finally said in a very bored voice. "Besides, what I really want to do in life is to stare at the clouds for eternity. It is not as troublesome as the other things I was forced to do."
After that conversation, Temari lead herself to believe that Shikamaru isn't fit for the job. He is clearly lacking an interest on it but then why did the Hyuuga Corporation appoint him in that position? Was it because she was from the other village and not from Konoha? Temari just became annoyed at the thought of it.
But as time passed, and she got to know him better, Temari began to admire the boy who is easily contented in his life just by peacefully staring at the clouds. This was not at all puzzling. After all, his strategies were amazing and the brains behind it even more so. She now understood that behind his apparent lack of interest in everything he thought way too 'troublesome,' he was a man with an intelligence quotient of 200 and someone who can act dedicated when the time calls for it.
"Hmm… This is a good report, Temari. But there are a few problems here and there. I guess that it's really minor and I can easily fix it. Hey, can you hand me some pen and paper?" Shikamaru asked as he turned to Temari.
Temari gave a grin that could make any boy fall in love with her instead of answering Shikamaru's question. She made another paper fan which was bigger and had more complicated details than the last. She then handed it to Shikamaru.
"What's this?" He asked. Clearly the IQ of 200 isn't that much help when it comes to dealing with troublesome women.
"For being yourself."
The two were unaware of a certain blonde-haired girl near the doorway, frozen still.
Yamanaka Ino came straight to her friend's office after the press conference. She wanted to go and ask him for advice and maybe also ask him to help her come up with a plan that will help her win Sasuke's heart. But…
Ino bit her lip as she peered at the two once again. Now she knows that she is rivaling with two women now. One for the love of her life and one for her bestfriend. She quickly wiped her eyes to prevent any tears from falling. With a final look, she headed towards the elevator and exited the Hyuuga Building B.

"Ow!"
Neji raised an eyebrow as he watched Tenten fall for the fourth time. If you ask him, she was getting on the way of his report. Tenten, on the other hand, quickly took the books and placed them on her head.
"Neji, would you mind telling me again why should I be doing this?" Tenten asked as she walked on a straight line, her body lean and straight.
"Balance, Tenten, balance." Neji replied impatiently. He then frowned. "And you forgot to say Manager. That'll be 5 more circles to walk for you." With that, he continued typing on his laptop.
"Great, just great." Tenten mumbled as she tried to keep her concentration. Neji's so-called training is getting on her nerves. To improve your balance, Tenten. Everyone knows that a model must be graceful… Graceful my foot! She then tripped and once again, the books fell, this time on top of her.
Neji rolled his eyes as he stared at the poor girl. "You look pathetic."
Tenten wanted to smite Neji there and then. His smart-aleck responses were getting on her nerves and, being a girl with a long patience, that was saying something.
Neji smirked and tried to annoy Tenten some more by saying the classic, "You know, you look cute when you're angry."
"W-What…Neji, you…" Tenten blushed.
"You idiot." Neji said, the tone of his voice indifferent once again. "You fell for that so easily? I pity you. Now go back to your training and this time it'll be 20 more circles!" Tenten raised her fist. "And you forgot to say Manager again so that makes it 30."
One of these days, Tenten is gonna show Neji hell.

SARAFU-CHAN: That was short…
CHIBIITACHI: And you call yourself a writer? Why are you keeping your readers hanging? It's disgraceful.
SARAFU-CHAN: Er…The next chapter will make up for the shortness of this one…
CHIBIITACHI: That is not a good excuse. (licks ice cream)
SARAFU-CHAN: (notices CHIBIITACHI licking his ice cream) Hey! Do you like ice cream?
CHIBIITACHI: Of course! Who wouldn't? (realization dawns) Oh no! My reputation is ruined! RUINED! (runs away)
SARAFU-CHAN: Read and review!

P-R-E-V-I-E-W ON THE NEXT CHAPTER:
"You have to go to our house and meet my aunt!" Tenten whined as she pulled Neji with her. "Manager!" The people passing by are now looking at them in amusement. Nothing says great entertainment than watching two people fight against each other like a married couple.
"No!" Neji said firmly. "And why should I explain the situation to your aunt anyway? Am I your boyfriend or something! Let go! Hey! It's your fault for not telling her!" Neji was getting pissed. She was embarrassing him in front of other people.
"But you're my MANAGER!"
CUT!
"Wow! A toy froggie!" Naruto took the stuffed toy from Hinata and smiled at it. "You know, I remember a toy froggie like this before! I once gave it to a friend a long time ago back in the Summer Festival!"
Hinata's heart jumped. Even in her dreams or waking hours, she would always immediately know who it was. Maybe he was the same Naruto? "N-Naruto-kun, do you remember that person whom you gave it to?"
CUT!
Sasuke growled at his manager.
It was now official. He would star in the stupid show called "The Race For Sasuke's Heart Show!" He disliked the idea a lot. But Kakashi is his manager so…
CUT!
Shikamaru hated that troublesome feeling. Jealousy. How come? Why is Ino crying on Chouji's shoulder and telling him about her problems instead of him? Isn't he her best friend? What's happening? Did she lose her trust for him? Shikamaru shook his head. He would be the first one she would run into whenever she feels as if she is carrying the world on her shoulders.
So…How come?
CUT!
Lee followed Sakura. He wants to make sure that she'll be safe from harm. He, Rock Lee, would protect the person he truly loves! Sakura abruptly stopped and turned to Lee smiling.
"Lee, thank you for being a good bodyguard. Good night." Sakura closed the door. Lee stood there, awe-struck. Even after what happened, she was still smiling. He wanted to know if she was alright. The bowl-haired boy knelt and pressed his ear to the door, scourging himself further by listening to the sound of the girl's heartbreak.
He was right. She was crying.
