Chapter Nine

Notes on the meeting at Icharaku, as taken by Haruno Sakura.

I, Haruno Sakura, hereby swear to write down every thing that is said and done at this meeting from the time I arrive to the time I leave. Even if I do not agree with what is said I will still write it down starting NOW.

I the (naturally) pink haired beauty glided down the road towards the ramen stand known as Icharaku. Of course the heads of all at the stand turned toward me, unfortunately I am cursed with a natural sense of timing and was the first to arrive. The man and his daughter who were there hurried away in awe of my beauty and obvious intelligence.

As the minutes ticked by I began to wonder if I had the wrong date or time, but at last a dark haired young man with an even darker look on his face came up to me. I of course reconized him at once as Sasuke, my pen pal.

I greeted him warily for I knew from his letters how rude he could be. As expected he grumbled something faintly recognizable as a greeting and sat down. I can only describe his next course of action as brooding, which he did until Ino and Tenten arrived a few minutes later.

Ino was dragging a boy behind her as well, who's head faintly resembled (and still does resemble) a pineapple. He grumbled but obligingly sat down as Ino introduced him as Nara Shikamaru, her pen pal. Soon a loud and annoying blonde boy walked up and began to talk, and talk, and talk, finally I was forced to hit him over the head to quiet him. Needless to say that only worked for about ten seconds,but it did give my aching head a short break for his noise. He introduced himself as Uzumaki Naruto, Hinata's pen pal. I have no idea what she see's in him but then again Hinata also told me that Sasuke sounded scary, as if that could be possible. You just need to know how to deal with Sasuke, that's all.

As we were about to begin with our proceedings, a white eyed boy with a scowl on his face came up to us. He glared at us and said that Hinata had under any circumstances not been kidnapped. Just as Naruto shouted his name (which happens to be Neji) Tenten yelled (into my ear very loudly mind you),

"You!" This exclamation of hers was followed by some rather obscene language that I do not wish to repeat. Neji as well yelled something or another, I could not hear over the din Tenten was making.

I could tell by the surprised looks on the boys faces that a outburst from Neji was very uncommon, I only wish I could say the same thing about Tenten.

Although I could not properly understand all of what Tenten was shouting I could make out the phrases "White eyed freak!", "I thought you were a cool pen pal!", and lastly "So you are a boy...". I do not believe he heard the last one though...

After Neji and Tenten (but mostly Tenten) calmed down I discerned that everyone was present. As I cleared my throat to start the meeting every one looked to me. And we begun our discussion of what happened to Hinata...

(I will now switch to present tense as the meeting has begun)

"Does anyone know anything about Hinata's disappearance from school, the community, and above all existence?" I ask.

"Why don't you ask freak boy, her cousin." Tenten suggests hiking a thumb in Neji's direction.

Crossing his arms Neji refuses to speak and Naruto asks him why he even came if he doesn't want to help get his cousin back. Again Neji is silent. It is apparent that 'freak boy' is an apt name for him.

"She wasn't sick, or complaining of feeling sick or any thing the day before she left." Ino offers, Tenten and I nod our heads in agreement.

"Ino's correct and yet none of this makes sense if Hinata wasn't kidnapped." Shikamaru puts in lazily, I have a sneaking suspicion that he won't offer much more information tonight.

"So maybe, if Hinata was kidnapped, then...who has her?" Naruto asks while slurping noodles from a bowl of ramen, it's obviously his favorite food.

"Rival clans, jealous villages, psychotic ninja's the list goes on." Shikamaru sighed.

"So...what should we do?" I ask.

"Nothing."

"Shut up freak boy." Tenten snaps as soon as Neji speaks, I never knew that she was the type of person to hold a grudge...

"We can't do anything. We have nothing to go on, no sightings or messages from the kidnappers. That is assuming Hinata was kidnapped." Sasuke spoke his first words to the group.

We sit in silence looking around fro answers. Ino slaps Shikamaru from time to time, as much to keep him awake as to remind him to think. Tenten continues to shoot glares at Neji. Naruto has ordered yet another bowl of ramen. And Sasuke is silent.

It is late and getting dark quickly. We, as a group have decided to meet here again tomorrow night. Same time, same place. For now I take a break from recording the events of this meeting.

You call this notes?! Sakura you practically wrote a book here! And by the way you have a very high opinion of your self you know.

I heroically wrestle the pen away from Ino after she steals it to meddle with the perfect notes I have taken.

Here's hoping for Hinata's rescue and safe return,

Sakura

Hmmm...short but good I think. Please review! I'm begging you! No get ready for some more shameless advertising...

I have started a fic called I kid you not. It's a KakaxKure fic and I think it's pretty cute so far. It's in desperate need of reviews. And I only need one more review for Flipped Feelings to reach my goal of fifty reviews! Ok bye for now...
