Chapter 7

Lunchtime Part One: Prophecy Revealed

The four girls happily walked out of the lunch line together carrying trays with hot dogs, milk and cookies, the everyday school lunch (AN: If only there were hot dogs at my school…our hamburgers bounce. I'm so not kidding. If you throw one, it will bounce. Anyways…)

There were many tables to choose from since the cafeteria looked almost too big for the student body. All the girls were happy they didn't have to go through the new kid dilemma of where to sit at lunch, since they already came with basically their own crowd. They chose a table by the windows.

"So," Tenten said as she took a bite out of her hot dog. "How did half one of day one go for you guys?" She asked. At this, they all blushed. I bet you can guess who instantly entered their minds at this question.

"Well, I did meet someone in my geography class…" Hinata began as she twiddled her fingers. All the girls squealed and leaned in. "His name is N-n-naruto Uzamaki and I guess you can say we 'hit it off'" she turned even more read and her voice grew even softer as she spoke. All the girls clapped and smiled. Ino was relieved to know that what she overheard in the bathroom was as true as she thought it was.

"That's great Hinata!" Sakura said as their squealing ceased. "But I can't help but wonder why you stuttered his name." All the girls' heads turned back to Hinata when they noticed that Sakura was right.

"I think I like him a lot!" Hinata said with her head down, but still smiling. They patted her on the back. It's usually impossible for them to get Hinata to admit anything she doesn't want to.

"Since we're on the topic," began Sakura. "I met a guy I guess, but he's sort of different." All the girls grinned evilly.

"Ooh, different me like," said Tenten raising her eyebrows multiple times. Sakura laughed.

"His name is Sasuke Uchiha, and he's just about the hottest guy you will ever lay eyes on." This peaked the girls' interests as they all sat up. "His personality was sort of bleh, but he did choose to sit next to me instead of the raging fan girls around him." At this her friends listened even closer. At this point, all the chattering in the caf seemed to go by unheard to them. "But the thing is, he came this close to finding out our secret." She held up two of her fingers and separated them about a centimeter. Now, the girls were alarmed.

"Uh oh," said Ino, biting her lower lip. "How much does he know?" Sakura began to fiddle with her food.

"Just about the marks," she said. "The whole class saw it really, but he's the only one who suspected it. I ran away before he could milk any of the secret out of me." The girls sighed in relief, though they were still alarmed at the narrow escape.

"I met a guy too," Tenten said, breaking the silence. The girls were perky once more. "His names Neji…" she gave Hinata a stern look. "Neji Hyuuga." Hinata froze. Tenten gave her a care-to-explain? Look.

"Alright," Hinata said. "He's my cousin," she confessed as the other girls gasped.

"Hinata, why didn't you tell us you had a cousin here?" Ino said in loud whisper.

"I didn't know he was here! Honestly…I didn't even know he was still alive." Hinata said seriously. All the girls exchanged a look. "I barely even knew him. When we were three and four, there was a large rebellion amongst the Hyuuga clan and many branch members got wiped out," she explained. "It was then I was sent away to…you know." All the girls nodded.

"Say no more," said Tenten quietly. "He sure does seem like a guy who has been through Hell. He's so grumpy…but in a charming way." She turned slightly red, something she had been doing a lot lately. All the girls stopped to ponder their bell one classes and a silence followed.

"Guys," Ino began as she thought harder into the current state of events. "How did the prophecy go again?" The rest of the girls turned pale in regard of the prophecy and fell silent. Sakura however, answered Ino's question.

"Four chosen ones,

Four sentinels,

Four fellowships,

More enemies than imaginable.

The four chosen ones will first lead a life of blissful ignorance

Until one day the truth is revealed.

They will run, they will hide

But their fate is sealed.

They attempt to begin again,

Which may prove to be their mistake

The cycle will begin all over again

Their worlds will once again quake.

The guardians, fellowship and enemies will be met

Unconsciously, but still so.

But just when this is realized

There is nowhere else to go.

An encounter with an enemy

Proves to feel necessary, but of no use

And with only two words said,

All Hell will break loose"

"That is a very nice poem Sakura!" The voice behind the girls interrupted Sakura's recital. "Did you write it yourself?" Sakura turned around to see Rock Lee from her math class. Her friends eyes widened in slight fascination and slight fear of his, er, ensemble.

"Um, sure. We were just helping Ino with a poem for her English class," Sakura said as she thought on her toes. The rest of the girls plastered on smiles and nodded.

"Oh, how nice of you Sakura!" he said smiling. "And I don't believe I have met your companions here," He gestured to Sakura's tablemates.

"Oh…right." Said Sakura. "Lee, that's Ino Yamanaka," she gestured to Ino who greeted Lee with a smile. "That's Hinata Hyuuga," Hinata gave a small wave. "And that's Tenten." Tenten nodded. "This is Rock Lee from my math class. He was the first person I made friends with here." Lee blushed at this.

"It was no problem Sakura!" he said. "If you ever need help, I am always here!" his stomach growled just then quite loud, and everyone looked at it. Lee turned red. "After I get some lunch! Till then Sakura!" Lee bolted to the lunch line.

"He seems…nice." Tenten said as they all stared after him.

"Um yeah…he is." Said Sakura. "But anyway," she changed the subject. "I see what you mean Ino…the prophecy is fitting almost perfectly." Sakura looked worried.

"Damn." Tenten said quietly. "That may explain why my seal has been hurting." All the girls looked at her.

"Yours too?" asked Ino.

"Mine has too." Hinata said.

"Same here." Sakura agreed. This confirmed the girls' danger. They began to slightly panic.

"But wait!" said Hinata. "I think we should first try to identify the people in the prophecy."

"That's a good idea," said Sakura. The rest of the girls agreed.

"Ok," began Ino. "First off, the fellowship. There are four people." The girls thought for a bit.

"Well," said Sakura kicking into her brainiac mode. "Since fellowship means companionship, we should try to think of the people who have been our friends since we got here." They all looked around. "Besides ourselves." Sakura added.

"I did meet a friend in Geography, Shino Aburame." Hinata spoke up.

"That's one." Ino ticked off one on her fingers.

"Oh yeah! There's a guy I made friends with in science…Chouji Akimichi I think." Tenten said.

"Two…" Ino ticked off another.

"There's also Lee," added Sakura.

"Three…" Ino said. "And then there is also Kiba, which makes four. I think we have found our fellowship." The girls did not know whether to find this good or bad.

"Now there are the sentinels," said Hinata. "According to the prophecy, we have already met them." The girls knew just who it was implying.

"But…but…we only know three!" Sakura sputtered. "So…it may not really be fulfilled, right?"

"Wrong…" said Ino in horror. Everyone looked at her. "I met a guy too." Any other day, the girls would have squealed and clapped. But now, they were panicing.

"Hey guys! Why the long faces?" The girls looked up to see Kiba, followed by Lee, Shino and Chouji.

"Nothing!" the girls said in unison all too quickly. They plastered on smiles. Kiba gave them a funny look.

"Mind if we sit here?" he asked.

"Not at all!" said Ino as the she and her friends scoot over to make some room.

"Did," chomp. "You guys hear," chomp. "About Tsunade and," chomp. "Jiraya?" Chouji said as he lunched on a sandwich. They all shook their heads. "They're a," chomp. "couple!" All the girls laughed in shock.

"That must explain why she was so happy this morning," said Hinata. The girls were glad their minds were on something else. Well, that is until Shino, who says very little, said something.

"What were you girls discussing when we got here?" he asked them. The girls tried to look nonchalant.

"Ino was just telling us about a guy she met in her class today," said Sakura, choosing not to lie.

"Sakura!" Ino slapped Sakura's hand in embarrassment.

"You can tell us!" Kiba winked at Ino as he nudged her side.

"Who would we have to tell really," sighed Shino.

"Ok, I'll tell you." Ino gave in. "It was Shikamaru…" Ino immediately stopped mid-sentence when she saw a sight that instantly shattered her heart in one blow. "…Nara."

Oooooh cliffhanger! Except not really! I'm not good with those awesome cliffhangers that make everyone want to slit the throats of the author until they update. Just after I upload this one, I will start the next chapter. I hope you like where the plot is going! R and R please!
