Chapter 4: Everyone's making Plans

When Hinata finished looking through Naruto's file, she went downstairs to see what everyone else was doing. When reached the den, she saw Tenten sprawled out on the floor shining her latest collections of pistols. Her brown hair was in two buns on the top of her head and was wearing a pair of black basketball shorts and white spaghetti strapped tank top.

"Hey Tenten, why are you polishing your weapons in the middle of the day?" asked the Hyuuga.

"Oh, no reason it's just that I've been getting antsy lately. Since it's been a while since Temari gave as something to do, my gun collection hasn't really received much attention if you know what I mean."

Hinata knew exactly what Tenten meant. After all, she was the weapon specialist of the group. Whether she was providing backup for her girls during a diamond heist or taking down security guard with a 42 millimeter, Tenten stayed strapped and ready.

Hinata took a seat beside Tenten on the floor and asked her which soon to be robbed rich guy snob she got.

"I got some artist guy by the name of Sai, he's really famous painter around these parks." Tenten held up a photo of a young man who appeared to be standing in an art room. He had very pale skin and black hair with matching black eyes. Sai had on a very tight black long sleeved shirt with matching black pants and sandals. He appeared to be smiling, but Hinata knew better than anyone that he was wearing a fake smile. After living amongst stoic Hyuugas like her father for several years she can distinguish fairly well a fake smile from a real one. Unfortunately, she received more of the former from her father when she still lived with Hyuugas. Not wanting to creep Tenten out, she didn't mention anything of this to her for Hinata really didn't like talking about her former life.

"On the back of photo, you will find some his background info," Tenten added.

Hinata flipped the photo over and it read:

Name: Sai

Age: 23

Height: 6'0"

Weight: 160 lbs.

Birthday: November 25th

Current Living Place: Unknown

His Home: Unknown

Pets: None

Hobbies: Drawing and calligraphy.

"How are you supposed to find this guy if you don't even know his address?" Hinata asked confused.

"I asked Temari about that. She said that Sai doesn't really live anywhere particular because he is always moving from place to place to show off his artwork. It really doesn't help either that he always wears many disguises to keep himself hidden from the paparazzi. However, he's going to make a public appearance on Friday night when opens up this new gallery downtown. So I guess I'll see him them."

"This guy sounds very mysterious."

"Tell me about it, I don't even know what I'm going to wear! Exactly what do you wear to an art exhibit?" Tenten asked.

"How about wearing something that Lady Gaga would wear? She has a unique sense of fashion."

"Okay Hinata I don't want to show up in a meat dress."

Both of the girls started cracking until Ino walked into the room. She was wearing a bright yellow tube top with a white pleated mini skirt and white converses on her feet. Her hair was put up in a high ponytail with a yellow ribbon keeping it in place.

"Well well well where is our little school girl going off to?"

"Very funny Tenten. I will have you know that I am off to see my man right now."

"Well damn Ino you've only known about the guy for a couple of hours, and you're already going out to find him. He must be loaded!"

Hinata was thinking the same thing because Ino had a thing for rich men. Second to stealing jewelry, hunting down a rich guy was Ino's favorite activity. You see she is the love them and leave them type: pretend to love the guy then leave after she had stolen nearly half of his money.

"Tata for now ladies, I'm off to an eating contest at the Konaha Barbeque Pit." Ino said walking out the door.

"Eating contest?" both Hinata and Tenten said in unison. Before they could ponder what on earth a rich guy would be doing at eating contest, Sakura walked into the room wearing a pink halter sundress. She had a dreamy expression on her face.

"Someone seems to be in a good mood." Hinata said as Sakura went to sit down in front of her Pink Vaio laptop that was at the kitchen table. As she took her seat and crossed her legs she looked up with a dreamy expression and said, "I think I'm in love."

"Huh?" both Tenten and Hinata said in unison.

"It's the guy I got. He's gorgeous!" Sakura exclaimed. On the laptop, Sakura pulled up a business website that displayed a picture of a very fine man in a black suit standing next to a slutty looking girl on the red carpet. He had onyx back hair and dark eyes that you could get lost in. In contrast, his skin was very pale which seemed to bring out the features in his handsome face. One could tell he had a pretty ripped body underneath his suit. He was what most women would call drop dead sexy.

"Oohhh!" Tenten swooned. "Who is that hot piece of fine?"

"His name is Sasuke Uchiha and he's mine," Sakura said in a tone that sounded like a threat but was meant to sound playful. "He is the president of the Sharingan & Co. You know? The company that produces all the latest and hottest cars and trucks around from Audi's to fully grown Hummers. He's 6'1", single, and going to be mine!"

"If he's so available then who is the girl clinging to his arm?" Hinata asked pointing to the redhead wearing glasses at Sasuke's right. She looked like she weighed about 80 lbs for her arms and legs looked like twigs. She had on a very skimpy grey metallic dress that barely reached her thighs. The blood red 6-inch high hooker heels didn't really compliment her either. The redhead looked like a little girl who stumbled into her mother's closet and decided to play dress up and came out looking anything but cute.

"Oh… that's Karin Sasuke's latest squeeze." Sakura sneered. Her mood changed from giggly and in love with venomous and hostile. "She's the latest tramp and wanna-be model that has stepped out on to the scene. She and Sasuke met at a birthday party for Naruto Uzumaki several months ago. Ever since he said he liked her glasses, she's stuck to him like glue ever since. She disgusts me. I want her dead!"

"Well dang Sakura you have only known this girl for what 20 minutes and you already want to kill her?" Tenten said with an anime sweat drop on the back of her head.

"Tenten you don't understand. No one and I mean no one is standing between me and my Sasuke-kun!" Sakura declared as further pressed her nose into the computer screen. "He will be mine!"

There she goes again, Hinata thought. When Sakura found a man she liked, she tended to get leeched to him whether he was a victim or not. One time she had fallen in love with a guy she had only known for 3 weeks and was determined to marry him when his proposed. He was a sweet talker who talked about nothing but the flames of youth and yadda-yadda. He was a total loser with bushy eyebrows to boot. But alas it took Tenten, Hinata, Temari, and Ino to convince her that she is better off without him.

Tenten shook her head and said something that sounded like 'Good fucking grief ' gathered up weapons, and went to go polish them upstairs. After she was out of the room, Hinata pulled up a chair beside Sakura and starts to play with one of the salt shakers.

"Sakura."

Said girl raised her eyebrows which let Hinata know she was paying attention.

"You said something about Sasuke attending one of Naruto Uzumaki's birthday parties. Are they like friends or something?"

"Are they friends? Those two are practically brothers. They can always be spotted hanging out everywhere together. Heck, their parents are even close friends."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah Naruto's godfather, Jiraiya, happens to be a good friend of Sasuke's step-dad Orochimaru. In fact, Orochimaru and Sasuke are attending an upcoming party this Saturday that Uzumaki is hosting in honor of his Jiraiya. After all, it is Father's Day Weekend."

Father's Day Weekend? Hinata had completely forgotten all about Father's Day. Not that she cared anyway. With a hard-ass father like Hiashi, Hinata would ever dream giving him a card much less throwing a party in honor him. The bastard.

"Naruto Uzumaki just happens to be the guy I'm supposed "hook up" with."

"Oh, really Hinata? Are you planning to go to the party on Saturday?"

"Yes."

"Need a date?"

"Sure do."

"Great we're on."

Hinata and Sakura then started discussing possible outfits to wear on Saturday. Until Hinata asked Sakura wear Lady Temari was.

"Last time I walked by her study, I saw here looking through that green file that she kept earlier. She was studying it pretty close."

"…Hey Sakura."

"Yes Hinata"

"Do you ever wonder how Temari gets the information she finds out about people?"

"Yes, but I try not to. When I think about it too much I get the chills and I feel like someone's watching me."

"You too huh?"

Sakura nodded and she and Hinata suddenly got a creepy feeling and looked around the kitchen. They were alone. Feeling satisfied with the findings, the girls continued to discuss possible outfits for the upcoming party.

In Temari's Study

Temari sat back in her chair and placed her elbows on the desk in front of her. She folded her fingers over her nose and sat in great thought. After looking through the green folder for several hours she was finally satisfied with her findings. Let's just say doing her job would be a little harder than she thought. She picked up a folder of a man who appeared to be sitting at a desk just like she was. His midnight black hair was pulled back into a spiky ponytail and he was wearing silver earrings. His dark eyes seemed to show bored expression, like he was dreading taking the picture in the first place and didn't even bother to smile. Temari sighed.

"So we meet again Shikamaru Nara."
