Ino was in their family flower shop when Sakura entered.

"Good morning, Forehead girl! Have I got news for you!" Ino said as she went to Sakura.

"Awfully cheery today Ino-pig." Sakura said as she picked a flower suitable for a lavender colored-room.

"On the contrary… Hmmm… What are you here for anyway?" Ino asked.

"I'm looking for a flower that would suit well on Naru's room. She's staying at our house." Sakura said smiling.

"Sakura I'm surprised that you let the traitor live in your home!" Ino exclaimed. "I mean she stole everything from me. I mean I can take her stealing away my look but stealing away my Sasuke, It's unforgivable!"

"Traitor? What do you mean by 'traitor'?" Sakura said raising her eyebrows. "Wait did you just tell me that she stole –" Sakura gasped.

Ino sighed she then whispered something to Sakura that made her storm out the shop. Sakura rushed out, screaming Naru's name and a few unladylike words at the top of her lungs.

"For the last time, Ino-chan stop scaring away our customers." Her father said as he got inside the flower shop.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…

After running around destroying everything that interfered in Sakura's search, she finally found the traitor.

"Found you at last…" Sakura said in an evil way.

Naru was at the training grounds. She was sitting on a bench, Hinata in front of her. She was tapping her fingers and was in the act of saying something but can't.

"Oh hey there's Sakura." Naru pointed at her.

Hinata turned her back and a feeling of sickness overwhelmed her.

Sakura ran up to them. "How dare you!" Sakura's face was distorted and all you can see was her wrath.

"How dare you take advantage of poor Sasuke! How dare you betray me! I thought we were sisters!" Sakura was clenching her fist real hard.

"Sakura… It's not what you think. I-I was there, I saw it all and I can prove that it was an accident." Hinata managed to say but the words Sakura heard were muffled and made no sense. It was because Sakura's ears were releasing smoke.

"Hinata don't even try to explain she doesn't hear you!" Naru exclaimed.

Sakura towered over Naru. She then pushed Hinata aside. Naru then tried to ran. She grabbed Hinata's hands.

"Come on we don't have time she's gonna blow!" Naru said as she started to run.

The two girls, Naru and Hinata ran away from the maniac that was Sakura. Naru then tripped. Hinata then stopped to help her.

Sakura got to where they were and pushed Hinata aside. Sakura beat the living daylights out of Naru.

Hinata couldn't do anything but say, "Sorry…"

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…

Sasuke was walking down the streets of Konoha without a care.

It was just too windy and much to his annoyance a paper slapped his face. He then took it and began to read it.

"What the hell!" Sasuke was enraged by what he saw in the paper. It was news on Naru and him that they kissed and such and such. The he read Ino's name at the bottom of the paper.

How could Hinata do that to him! 'Of all the people to tell secrets to, why Ino not Tenten or some other girl… But Ino! Well she's going to pay,' he said in his mind.

As he walked he thought of what way he could reveal her secret. Then he stopped in his tracks when he saw Rock Lee. He had tears in his eyes, glittering under the sun. He had this look that could kill.

"Shit." Sasuke uttered.

"Let us spar." Lee stated.

Sasuke turned his back. At this moment some people were gathering towards the scene.

"Are you going to run away?" Lee asked mocking him. "Let us spar."

"Lee this is all a big mistake, a misunderstanding." Sasuke said coolly.

"Look, Sasuke all I want is to spar with you right here right now." Lee said.

Now that was a lie he told him. He was actually looking for cold hard vengeance. Sasuke had kissed Naru before he does.

"I would never forgive you for harassing my dandelion!" Lee said. Yes he called Naru his dandelion. Anyway he lunged to him and tried to punch him in his wonderful face. "You have disgraced everything that the springtime of youth stands for!"

But he was fast and did his kawarimi no justsu. Sasuke then appeared on top of him and shouted, "Katon no justsu."

Lee tried to avoid it by rolling on the ground to the left side of the pavement. Amazingly he didn't catch fire. He jumped to Sasuke and kicked him. He punched him. All Sasuke could do was avoid him and shield himself. Then he was on the ground, Lee was still punching and kicking like crazy. Sasuke was losing. Lee then penetrated his shield and started beating him up like there was no tomorrow.

Sasuke did what he had to do. He was fed up. "Chidori!"

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…

Naru lay on the sofa in Hinata's living room. This was still Hinata's part of the room.

The two of them successfully escaped Sakura clutches.

"Are you feeling any better?" Hinata asked as she gave her an ice bag.

Naru put it on her head that was aching from the abuse she got from Sakura.

"This is my entire fault… I didn't mean to tell it to Tenten-neesan… I never imagined her breaking the promise by telling people… If I knew right away that it would come to this… I shouldn't have told her anything at all…" Hinata said feeling bad. She sat on a chair.

"Don't be so hard on yourself, Hinata… It was just a silly mistake. Everybody makes mistakes." Naru said trying to comfort her. "So don't worry about it."

Hinata smiled warmly at her. "Thank you… But… Sasuke-san…"

"What about him?" Naru asked.

Hinata's eyes focused on something else. She thought about their agreement. She broke it and now she would suffer the consequences.

"Hinata?" Naru said her name.

"Oh anou… It's nothing." Hinata reassured her with a smile but this time it wasn't as warm.

Naru tilted her head and wondered.

After a moment of silence, Naru asked Hinata something. "Could I... Could I stay here just for this night?"

Hinata nodded yes.

Naru then scratched the back of her head and said, "Maybe I shouldn't your father or Neji might get mad at you."

"My father is away. He's at Snow Country and he won't be back until next week."

"But what about your cousin?"

"It's okay I will take care of it." Hinata reassured.

Naru scratched her own cheek, meekly then said. "Uh… Maybe this is a bit too much… I feel like I'm taking advantage of your hospitality."

"Oh… Don't say that. I mean, this is the least I can do for ruining your reputation…" Hinata said looking down at the floor.

Then suddenly out of nowhere someone said, "What reputation?"

The two girls looked towards the door to see Neji leaning on it.

He then started, "His, I mean her reputation is ruined as it is. Although he became a hero back when he saved Uchiha, he also did a lot of idiotic things. And people tend to remember those kinds of things more than his, I mean her good deeds."

Naru was about to talk back, angry with what Neji said, but Hinata spoke first, "Nii-san… That's a bit cruel…"

"It's the truth." Neji said firmly, but suddenly changed the subject, "So she's staying here. Well you know my answer, Hinata-sama."

"Is that a yes?" Naru asked.

Neji eyes twitched. "Get out now."

"But nii-san…" Hinata pouted.

"Come on nii-san… Please for me and for your dear cousin let me stay." Naru said touching Hinata's shoulder and pouting just like her.

Hinata stopped pouting and saw her cousin's eyes twitch more. She tried hard to suppress a giggle.

"Look Naruto, I mean Naru your sweet talk won't get you what you want. I'm not like your fanboys."

"Nii-san just for a few days, please. Sakura is mad at her right now and kicked her out of their house. And it's my fault… Because I told a person about… her kissing Sasuke-san." Hinata staring hard at the floor, she was serious.

"Hn… I guess she can stay… But only for a few days. I don't want her leeching off us for too long." Neji then left. Then he came back, "Don't do anything that would get you in trouble." He reminded her. "Is that clear?"

"Crystal." Naru said with a grin while Hinata nodded.

After that Neji truly left.

Hinata then said to Naru. "Okay. I'll lead you to the guest room."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

A/N: Chapter Seven, whew, I've really struggled with this chapter. And when I read it, it wasn't much but I guess it will do.

Okay… So the truth is that I've actually written a dozen chapters for this fic but I had to redo chapters seven to twelve because it didn't seem right to me. So as of now (September 5, 2006) I am thinking of what I should do with Chapter Eight since I have to redo it. So maybe you won't see me uploading til next week or the week after that because aside from the fact that I am busy, I also have writer's block. But I'm not sure… I might submit it earlier than you, the reader expect… I'm really not sure… But don't you worry I would not abandon this fic unfinished or delete it.

You know what, I hate being not able to write what I have in mind. I mean it's all done in my head but when I face my desktop I can't seem to type… So frustrating, I hate this. But you know… that's just life.

We all have our ups and downs… So… farewell until next time, many thanks for reading!
