Disclaimer: I tried to claim ownership of Naruto but I got bombarded with millions of horrible lawsuits….it'll take years to go through them all.
This takes place in Naruto Shippuden. :
I'm going to have to think about the pairings such as:
[HinataX Naruto or Kiba
[NejiXTenten- Definite
[ShikamaruX Ino or Temari – This is hard since the creator hinted some romantic future in the manga between Temari and Shikamaru. So I'm not sure if I should pair him up with his team member.
[ShizuneX Genma
[KakashiXAnko - Should I do this? Or is there another pairing you'd like.
[TsunadeXJiraiya - This is definitely going to be written…somehow.
[SakuraX ? – Not sure who to pair up with her.
Team Hebi definitely is going to make an appearance since I love [KarinXSuigetsu
So help me by voting on the pairings!

Chapter 1: Sore Memories
They could only stare at the offending letter. They had wanted nothing more than to Katon it to the bowls of Orochimaru's lair.
To Saku-Chan and I-chan:
Well girls, I heard that you did a wonderful job at getting Kaito and Jun together! Right now I heard they're in Snow Country. Probably just want to snuggle up close in the cold as an excuse. Those two are such a tease.
I have another target for you, and I know it may be hard but you two will pull through somehow. The target this time is Neji Hyuuga. You know the one with the luscious long brown hair, looks like a girl with those lavender eyes of his. Well you get, you are to pay him up with his teammate Ten-Ten. As teammates they must have some chemistry together.
Any who, I'm sure you know how much of a pompous stuck git he can be or so I've heard. So it may prove a challenge to get him to go out with anyone. Also that Ten-Ten girl is a bit hardheaded. So best of luck!
XOXOXO
You're famously extravagant Amor-Kun!
A couple more minutes of complete before Sakura broke out shockingly, "N-Neji? Ten-Ten?...How are we? I mean really how can we set-…. We're failures Pig! Failures!"
"Its official, someone shot him with those freaking pointy arrows of his" Ino said despairingly. Taking up a lighter she set the letter to flames.
Pacing back and forth Sakura tried to access their situation, "I'm not even sure Neji is in to the opposite sex is he?"
"Oh he is, I'm sure I saw pretty-boy looking at Ten-Ten ass a little too long when she picks up her weapons after training", said Ino.
Looking back at Ino she replied, "And how do you know that?"
"I tend to watch people train and sees whats new in their lives" said Ino
Busybody Sakura thought.
Sakura stood up and thought for a moment before disappearing, "Wait here a minute."
Where else would I be?Ino thought
20 Minutes Later:
"Yay! I got it" Sakura shouted. Waving back and forth in her hand was a document and she showed the contents of the folder to Ino.
Raising an eyebrow at Sakura's enthusiasm, "Bio on Neji Hyuuga and Ten-Ten?"
Eagerly Sakura nodded her head and began to explain, "Neji Hyuuga. July 3. Blood type O. Age 16. Status: Jounin. Hobbies: Meditation."
Nodding her head at the information given Ino replied, "Not much about him"
Smiling Sakura replied, "Let's hope thing go better with Ten-Ten. March 9. Blood type B. Age 16. Status: Chuunin. Hobbies: Fortune telling. "
Flipping through a fashion magazine and utterly bored Ino said, "Still not much. It'll be complicated to get the two together."
"It's not going to work." Sakura solemnly replied.
Taking a pause from flicking through the magazine she queried, "How so?"
"Too many differences and to have a connection they have to have similar likes." Sakura replied.
Raking her fingers through her hair the blonde sighed, "Doesn't matter, we'll get the two together at the club and see how it goes from there."
A thud was heard and Ino riveted her head to see Sakura resting her head on the table, "To think were in this mess over that stupid misunderstanding."
Leaning her head back Ino thought back to the event, "Yeah."
FLASHBACK
"Get ready Forehead! Today is the day you will wallow in your own defeat and proclaim me as the number one kunoichi!" shouted Ino.
Beside her Sakura only waved her hand dismissively saying, 'Yeah yeah, whatever you say Ino."
Growling at her friend/rival's lack of concern she yelled even louder, "The only reason you won those other spars is because of pure luck" After moment she added if not a bit sorely, "And that monstrously freakish strength of yours." At which she only received a mere roll of eyes she hastily said, "Well look no more cause I developed a new juts-"
"Hm?" Sakura looked back to see Ino had tripped over an object. Quickly going back to where Ino lay she stretched forward her hand.
Ino seeing this action quickly said, "No thanks Sakura. I can get up myse-. Sakura's hand breezed past Ino to pick up the object that Ino had tripped over. Ino livid with rage blew up, "SAKURA AREN'T YOU CONCERNED FOR MY WELL-BEING AND YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO-
Once again for the third time Ino never got to finish her sentence, "Be quiet Ino, your voice is too loud"
Ino only looked at about ready to blow again before looking at the object that made her trip, "A bow and arrows? I TRIPPED OVER A FREAKIN BOW AND ARROWS!" She tore the set away from Sakura's hands ready to stomp on them in anger when she fully looked at them. With a bemused look on her face she only said, "Pink?" Sure enough the bow was pink with carvings of hearts and clouds while the bows had golden tips with pink and white feathers at its tail.
"What kind of self-respected ninja would carry something like that?" Sakura questioned, she turned to Ino only to see her preparing to shoot one of the arrows. "Ino! You can't do that, it doesn't belong to us."
"Aw! Who cares, it's not like anyone is going to care about one missing arrow" replied Ino. Before Sakura could retort she fired the arrow in to the sky. "See? Harmless and its not like that arrow is going to hit anyo-
"OW!"
Looking back at Ino annoyed, "Nice going Ino. Come let's see if it's anything serious." Nodding her head she and Sakura headed off toward the direction they heard the sound from. A couple of minutes later they peered out from behind a tree only to see Lee. It was clear that he was more confused than upset, in his right hand he was holding the arrow. Sakura was just about to go up to him to ask him if he was okay when Neji appeared. Ino pulled Sakura back in to the bushes putting a finger to her lips.
"Ah! Neji…" Lee said slowly if not dreamily? Gaining not only confused reactions from Sakura and Ino but Neji as well, "Neji! Your hair is as extravagant as ever, it reflects the purity and refinery that is your soul of which I have not the audacity to be graced with."
"Lee, what nonsense are you spouting now?" said a very if not irked Hyuuga.
"Why it is the sky and Neji is the sun! The moon has no hold over your shining rays of youth, no not even the sun can compare!" Lee shouted while kneeling before Neji. This caused if not amused yet horrified looks from Sakura and Ino, better yet it no one could explain the look of disgusted horror that was uncharacteristic of the Hyuuga.
So with Lee's proclamation he leaped forward to glomp Neji while yelling, "Nejikun! Catch me!" Only to be greeted with Neji's Hakkeshou Kaiten Eight Divination Palms of Hand which sent Lee flying back. A very disturbed Neji turned around to walk back home when he heard a rustle. Lee leapt up and said with teary eyes, "Why Nejikun? Don't you love me?"
Usually when one hears a sentence like this they would try to console that person but all those rules don't apply to one Neji Hyuuga. Turning his body to go back the way he originally came from he said, "Lee."
"Yes?" said a hopeful Lee.
"Go back to Gai" deadpanned Neji. At which he received a gasp.
"Fear not Neji. Do not be filled with jealousy for Gai is like the father I never had
Meanwhile by the bushes Ino and Sakura where watching the unusual exchange. "Should we really be intruding on a private matter like this?" whispered Sakura.
"Of course! That arrow did something like weird to Lee." Ino replied.
Sakura turned to face Ino almost proud "Well that's nice you care so much about Lee."
"Huh? Yeah, yeah but this would prove a great blackmail against pretty boy. You know just this week he called me a ditzy fashion obsessed pom-pom girl. I mean all I asked was what type of conditioner he used." Ino said. "Oh! Shush Pretty- boy seems awkward."
Back to the present situation, Lee had said a lot more flowery compliments all towards Neji. Neji could only take so much so just before Lee could rant about how his eyes sparkled more than the nebula itself and whatnot. The infamous calm, cool, collected and upright teachings all flew out the window when Neji Hyuuga ran with fan-boy Lee after him.
Laughter rang throughout the training grounds.
"Hahahah! That was so funny. I'll make sure pretty-boy never lives this down." Ino said between fits of laughter.
"Poor Neji" said a grinning Sakura. "Ino, you were right!"
Lighting her head up in a snap Ino leered at Sakura, "I'm right? I know I'm right I always have been. But the fact that you're admitting I'm right is suspicious, you're sure the Godiame didn't bust you up too bad."
"No!" snapped Sakura. "Anyways I'm talking about the arrows and how they seem to make the people hit with it infatuated with the first person they see."
"True. Sakura! Do you know how much good or mischief we could cause with this baby? We'll never be bored again!" exclaimed an enthusiastic Ino. "With this in our hands all will bow to me! Don't worry I didn't forget about you since you'll be my sidekick of course!"
A clap was heard followed shortly by, "That's interesting and all but I'll be taking back my arrows." The bow and arrows flew out of Sakura's hands and straight in to a little boy. The little boy had blonde white hair which framed milky chubby cheeks and amethyst eyes.
"So cute", squealed Ino. Sakura on the other hand mentally cursed that she couldn't sense the little boy's chakra approaching.
"What's your name?" Sakura said warily.
The boy countered with, "It's improper to ask one's name before introducing yourselves."
Earning a narrow glare she nodded, "Sakura Haruno."
Glancing at her friend for her rudeness she said, "Excuse my paranoid friend. My name is Ino Yamanaka and you are so cute! Are you lost? Did you lose your mommy?"
"No girl, I did not lose my mother, more like she's lost herself hording herself with hundreds of men." The boy replied, "More importantly why did you use the arrows when they didn't belong to you!''
Are we getting scolded by a kid? they thought.
"Anyway you probably figured out what these arrows can do, not only that but you wasted one of my arrows! So you'll have to pay the price." The boy said.
"Er…do you mind telling exactly who you are?" said a confused Sakura.
"I'm sure you know who I am, but I'll tell you that I am Amor!" said the boy with an extravagant pose.
A deadpanned Sakura replied, "Are you expecting an applause or something because we know who you are."
"What? Are you daft?! You don't know who I am?! Shouted the now puffed up child.
"Nope." Ino replied immediately.
Pouting the boy said, "Fine. I am Amor or else known as Eros, Kama, Cupido, Cupidon. Any of these ring a bell?"
A shake of heads was his reply. "Cupid?"
"Ohhhh ", they both said. Ino questioned, "If you are cupid shouldn't you have wings?"
"Oh I do but they're a hassle to carry and always ruin my shirts" Amor replied. "Anyway you mortals have stumbled upon knowledge that you shouldn't know. Not only that you spent an arrow, do you know how much these cost?!"
"No" they replied.
"I could erase your memory but that would leave that arrow you used unpaid. So for now you two will work for me." Amor said thoughtfully.
At this point Ino complained, "Sorry I won't work for some child besides I already have a job working at my parent's flower shop."
"Not my problem" said Amor.
"Hey, I really don't have the time, we'll just repay you in yen. I have my hands full working shifts at the hospital."Sakura said.
"SILENCE!" shouted Amor. "If you don't cooperate I'll turn you in to a man" points to Sakura "and you shall have no love life and die an old cat lady!" points to Ino.
Hearing this both girls were sent off in to their own world.
A MAN! I LOVE MY BODY!!!! NOO! SHANNARO!! Inner Sakura screamed in horror.
A cat lady?An old wrinkle, sagging lady?Ew I don't even like cats. Ino thought.
Making sure he got the girls attention he explained, "You two shall sing and bring people together by the power of your songs. I will contact you when I feel two people should get together or you can find a partner for any person I choose. Wait there is a problem."
"What problem?" queried Sakura.
Amor responded, "For the singing to bring people together, there must be a male and female voice"
Ino only raised an eyebrow before quickly replying, "Well that means that you won't need one of us. So Bye" She turned around to go.
"Hold it!" yelled Amor."One of you will have to have their voice changed to a male"
Ino immediately pointed to Sakura who only started to protest when an array of wind twirled around her throat. Causing a tingling sensation around her vocals.
Sakura with a much deeper voice said, "Wait! This won't make me a man or stay permanent, can I change it back?"
"No you can change it back by will but I would practice so nothing weird happens" said Amor. "Oh yes, can you tell me if the arrow you threw before hit anyone?"
Ino and Sakura looked anywhere but him when Sakura answered, "Yes. His name is Rock Lee and first person he saw is Neji Hyuuga."
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?!! WE MUST REVERSE THIS AT ONCE!" Ran Amor dragging two peeved kunoichi.
FLASHBACK
"I still don't see how I was roped in to this mess when you're the one who fired that arrow." Said Sakura.
Blowing away a piece of blonde hair from her eyesight she said, "Not entirely. You didn't try to stop me."
Eyes widening in disbelief Sakura shouted, "Yes I did!"
"Yeah, yeah so how'd you get the stats? Doesn't Tsunade guard them?" said Ino hoping to change the subject.
At which an embarrassed Sakura said, "She gave them to me if I would buy her sake for a two month and do her paperwork for three weeks."
Ino raised her head before replying, "Kinda much for such useless info."
"Yeah" said a depressed Sakura.
Grinning Ino answered, "Oh well sucks for you."
A/N: I'm sorry it took long. Next chapter will focus on NejiXTenten
I'm so slow.
