A/N: Thanks so much for the reviews. I want to make a special thanks to Aries Stephastone because she helped me realize something. Also, reviews response in the bottom!

READ IMPORTANT: When I wrote that the girls didn't want to be played in the guys hands and then they left to talk to Naruto and the others there was a misunderstanding (from my part): the girls didn't want to be played by guys that thinks highly of them and who thinks they are just some kind of entertainment (like the cool guys). They want to avoid them so they won't get hurt. Maybe it was OOC from Ino and Sakura's part to do it so, but in this fic, this is the reality. But remember, this is a SasuSaku/InoShika/NejiTen/NaruHina fic!

EDIT: I fixed many mistakes. Maybe now its better to organize.

02. Silent Planning

After the girls got shoved in the water and came out, they wanted revenge but didn't know what to do. So they just forgot that for a while (besides, they were receiving death glares from the boys fan-girls who were like 'NOOO they touched you! Why them?').

They were in lunch. It was so funny having the guys around, they were always making them laugh.

They left with the guys to another place to talk. They had some stuff in common with them. Lee stopped with the heart-thing with Sakura, seeing her as a friend (maybe it was just so Sakura could be normal around him). Naruto kept flirting with random girls that passed their tables but would never talked to them again (it was just a compliment). Ino and Tenten were planning to play something after they ate. Hinata was just petting Akamaru and Kiba kept talking to her about animals (most of the time about dogs).

After lunch they left to relax sometime because they were tired. The girls left to their rooms and stayed there.

"I so can't believe those jerks did that to us!" Tenten screamed while she crushed a paper ball and throwing really hard to the door. "They will so pay!" Ino and Sakura nodded. Hinata was quietly praying they wouldn't stay the whole trip like that.

"I believe that…" Hinata started talking and getting their attention, "When someone is attracted to another, they want him or her to recognize him or her and in this case it's they. I think they got annoyed to the fact that we didn't swoon at them…And that we chose the other guys," she concluded.

The girls just stared at her. Then they realized it made sense. "Still…What jerks," Tenten said. They anime sweat-dropped but nodded. "But still…They are really hot," Sakura said. They nodded blushing a little.

"I didn't know your cousin was that hot, Hinata…" Tenten said playing with the paper. "Yeah…And Sakura didn't say a word after she came from blackmailing him!" Ino accused Hinata and Sakura. "I don't think Neji is that good looking…I prefer Sasuke." Sakura said shrugging.

"Better for me. One less." Tenten said smirking. "Oh…? So we are tagging what guy we want (or would like)?" Sakura asked. Tenten just shrugged. "Then I want Sasuke-kun!" Ino and Sakura said in the same time. They looked at each other and glared then looked at another side with nose held. Hinata and Tenten shared a glance and immediately knew what this meant; war.

"…And you, Hinata?" Tenten asked trying to break the tension. "I…Naruto-kun," she grinned madly. They then high-five and said a 'good luck for us'! And decided to walk…It's not because they are on a little vacation that they could forget the motto.

"Pant…Pant…Lets have a break. We are walking for an hour now," Hinata said while trying to regain her breath. They decided to jog a little then they started running. They nodded and sat on the floor. Then the sun that was shining was covered by someone's shadow. They grinned when they saw it was the guys. They just waved and motioned for them to sit besides them.

Tenten excused herself because she would run some more. She needed to get un-stressed (she was still mad at the boys). They nodded and agreed to meet at five in the Inn lobby. She then left.

They stayed there planning everything. Lee told them that Tsunade-sensei told Gai-sensei that told him that there would be an official opening because this was the first time that the two schools had something together and wasn't for competition. They cheered.

"Sakura…Would you be the star that guide me and be my partner? I will refuse every girl that asks me, because my heart is yours" Lee asked enthusiast. "Lee…I'm sorry but…Naruto knew this before you and he already asked me," Sakura said while feeling guilty. Kiba announced that a girl asked him and Akamaru to go with them. They happily agreed. "Hinata-san? Mind going with me, then?" Lee asked Hinata, who shyly agreed.

"But then…Tenten and I are without a partner." Ino told them. She was really pissed that Tsunade didn't tell them…Or maybe that was supposed to be a surprise? She just ignored that. She left to buy an ice-cream and left them alone (they were planning everything about the dance…Well, the four of them except Kiba and Akamaru who were happily playing).

How dare them. I'll so kick their asses! And it was the first day as well! Ohhh they are dead! If I only knew who was… Tenten thought while running around the Inn. She refused to go around the pool area (apart from passing in front of the pool…It was the only place where she could pass!). Ok, Tenten…Forget. There is another time…

Tenten thought while running around the Inn. She refused to go around the pool area (apart from passing in front of the pool…It was the only place where she could pass!).

She was running when she felt someone running by her side. She saw that it was Neji the jerk. She ignored him and continued running. She paused a little and noticed Neji paused as well. Is he following me? She thought. She just shoved the thought and decided to go for water. Is she continued like that, she'd have dehydration.

She walked to the Inn small snack bar and asked for a bottle of water. And so did Neji. Tenten had enough. She glared hard at Neji, "Are you stalking me?" She asked just like that. Neji looked at her, smirked, and grabbed his water, paid and then left…Leaving and angry Tenten. What a double jerk!

……………………………………………………………………..

Where was the place again? Ino thought while looking for a place to buy ice-cream. She went to their room and grabbed money (even thought the Boys School was paying, she still liked to pay for her stuff).

La la lala…And turn left and…not here. I must ask for help. Ino was getting tired. She had walked almost the whole Inn area and didn't find a place to buy her ice-cream. While she was looking, she saw one of those guys that pushed them into the water looking at the sky. That pissed her. How can he be that tranquil when she's tired looking for the damn ice-cream for fifteen minutes?

She marched to the guys ready to shout her head off. But then when she saw the serenity in his eyes while looking at the sky she felt in peace…Then she had the best revenge plan ever! Man, am I smart?

"Umm…Hi" She waved weakly at the guys who just looked at her bored then returned to watch the sky. She was beyond mad. The boy chose watching the sky over her! "Look here jerk!" She said catching his chin and had his face looking at her. "Yeah…?" His eyes bored hers. She almost forgot what she wanted to say!

"Why did your friends and you pull us in the water?" She yelled in his face. He just covered his ears. "Because doing that seemed un-troublesome, but now it's troublesome so let me watch the clouds." He said lazily. "The clouds?"

"Yeah…" He said while laid back again in the grass and looking at the sky. "May…May I watch with you?" Ino asked shyly to his. He was surprised at first but nodded.

"…Nara Shikamaru"

"I know…Yamanaka Ino"

"I can't believe you are doing that, Ino!" Shrieked the girls while they were getting ready to sleep. "I know and to think that…" Ino started giggling, "He feel for a simple think like that!"

"But…Aren't you going to hurt his feelings?" Hinata asked while putting her pajama and climbing in the bed (she's in the bottom while Ino is in the top). "It's a simple revenge on the pool thing. He won't get hurt or something…it's not a huge deal," Ino said trying to assure her and Hinata.

"If this opening dance thing happens then that means," Tenten started, "I'm the only one who's going alone." She concluded, tossing her shoes away. The girls just looked away. It was true.

They discovered Ino was playing with that Shikamaru for the pool incident. She decided that she'll be Shikamaru's friend and then broke apart. She will get her revenge and she was, hopefully, going to the dance with him and in the day of the dance she'd just leave him. It was flawless.

"Bah…still, I can go without a partner. It's just socializing," Tenten reasoned again getting ready to play Nintento DS (c) Nintendo in her bed, just after she combed her long hair. She just shoved the fact. Besides, it was supposed to be a surprise…

……………………………………………………………………..

"Good Morning!" Gai-sensei waved at the students while he was serving breakfast. The teachers decided that a good way to socialize was announcing the dance. That would make girls or boys look for a partner.

"Now…Listen up," Tsunade tried speaking at the loud kids, "Listen UP!" She shouted and the room felt silent. She thanked and started her speech, "As you know…This is for socializing, so, we, the teachers, decided to give an opening party," The room cheered.

"But…It's a semi-formal occasion. You need to look nice because we'll be filming and taking photos constantly. You must have a partner in order to enter the ballroom. It'll be today after dinner, so you guys can enjoy better. That's all, thanks for hearing." Tsunade finished talking and then sat with the stuff who animatedly chatted about the events.

Boys already left their seats trying to get the girls out. You must get the best first, right? Soon the there was people standing asking people out. Others shouting that they asked first, others fighting for the same girl when it was obvious that the girl got another partner.

The girls decided to leave before something really stupid happened.

"How troublesome…" Shikamaru said while walking with Sasuke and Neji around the Inn. "What will we do?" Neji asked referring to the partner fact. "Maybe there's another way of doing that…" Sasuke answered. "Well…Most of them have partners," Shikamaru said, pointing at the mess happening in front of them. They sighed.

"I know a way to help you, Sasuke…" Shikamaru told him lazily. "But I'll need Neji's help…"He said looking at Neji, who was half way thinking on a way to escape whatever Shikamaru had in mind.

"We get inside. We do it and then you enter and ask for a dance. Then you leave." Shikamaru told them plan. "Yeah…? How are we entering if we have no partners?" Neji said scowling at him. Shikamaru just nodded his way of saying 'I just need to tell you'.

"I already have a partner for sure and I know someone who isn't paired. You might not like who she is, but you can deal with her," Shikamaru explained. "Then the rest is really simple. I showed you were the power switch is, right, Sasuke?" Sasuke nodded.

"I don't know how I'm agreeing with this…" Neji said glaring at Sasuke. "What can I say? She got my attention…" Sasuke shrugged. "Is it really or is because of her partner?" Shikamaru asked. Sasuke just looked away.
