natsumi's pov

I guess I could consider that 20 questions… I thought as I watched sakura's screen with awe. I turned to the other screens. Oh, shoot. I missed the others… let's see, what question are they on? Ino… question #… 16… ten chan… # 17… and hinata… 18… alright… let's see what they're up to…

----------------------shikaino pov

"what's your impression of a good girlfriend?" ino asked. Shikamaru smirked.

"well… pretty… smart, but not a genious like me… bold… loud… and wonderful." Shikamaru stated. Ino cocked her head. She smiled sadly. I guess it's not me…

"oh… alright… well, your turn…"

"what's YOUR impression on a good boyfriend?" he asked. Ino smiled sadly again.

"well… smart… not completely active like most… tall… dark eyed… black hair… handsome… and someone I can't have." She said simply. He looked at her sadly. Sasuke…

"your turn…" he said.

"um… what do you describe, 'wonderful'…?" ino asked. She looked down.

"you." He quickly replied. She looked up with shocked eyes. "really?"

"hey. It's my turn." Shikamaru said, smiling. She blushed.

"then… ask your question!" she pouted. His smile deepened.

"what's you description of, 'someone I can't have'…?" he asked, looking away.

She giggled. He back at her. "what's so funny, you?" he asked, tackling her, and tickling her.

"shikamaru! That tickles! Stop!" ino cried. He stopped, but he didn't move his hands from her sides.

"then tell me." He said sternly. She looked him in the eye.

"you. I can't have you." She whispered. He looked at her in confusion.

"I can't have you either." It was her turn to look confused.

"and why not?" she asked.

"mr. tall, dark, and handsome stole you away from me…" he grunted.

"well, what about ms. Pretty, bold, and wonderful? She sounds so perfect…" she sighed.

"that's because she is."

"well? Who is it?! This girl sounds EXACTLY LIKE …ME!" she screamed, standing up.

"well, you're correct." Shikamaru smiled. She looked down at him. She kept staring, as she sunk to her knees, seeing that he was telling the truth.

"really?" she asked.

"yeah. What about you?" she grinned.

"um… I guess you can say sasuke, but that's not true. I guess he really is mine." He frowned.

"WHO THE FUCK IS HE, INO?!" he yelled, standing like she did. He giggled again, eyeing his jealousy.

"you, silly." She smiled. And as she did, sank to his knees, realizing she was telling the truth. They both smirked.

"okay, all I know how to cook is stew. Anything with that… dear?" ino smirked.

"no thank you… honey." He smiled. They laughed as they went into the kitchen. As she cooked, he planted a kiss on ino. She blushed, as he said, "be my girlfriend… now."

"anything for you… shikamaru. And oh yeah… you stole my first 3 kisses, you know." She said, remembering the time at the mall (a/n see tenten for that.) He smirked. "I know."

They ate dinner, and went to bed. She got in on one side, shikamaru on the other. "nite." Shikamaru said. "good night…" ino said. They both fell asleep with smiles.

-----------------------------------nejiten's pov

"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN, MR. I'M-OH-SO-HOT-SO-BOW-DOWN-TO-ME?!" tenten screamed.

"exactly what I said. And who said I was 'oh-so-hot?'" Neji said, cold as usual. She raised a brow.

"shut up. And 'she's perfect, but she can never be mine'? WTF, neji?" tenten questioned.

"you're going to have to wait for your turn. Here's my question: what do you mean by, cold, yet warm, arrogant, yet polite?" neji asked.

"it means, he's a little cold in personality… but he's warm enough to smile. He's arrogant… but he remembers his manners. He can be a pain… but that's why I need him." She smiled. "now answer my question."

"well… she's beautiful… a good personality, decent smarts, and a wondeful smile." Neji said.

"now there's 1 more question… why can't you have her? Is it because of love? Who is she in love with?"

"that's 3." Neji replied. "but… I can't have her because she loves another… yes… and it's someone I don't know. What about you?"

"the same. She sounds so wonderful neji… I could never be her…" tenten said sadly.

"maybe you are her." Neji said.

She looked up, and smiled. "there's no way… neji… I should start on that dinner. I hope curry's okay. I went to the weirdest place… I think that naruto, lee, and sakura were there… the place served this stuff called, 'the curry of life'. MY GOD, that stuff was sooooooooooooooo spicy! But lee LOVED it!"

"curry sounds good… and maybe you should take me there one day. I'd like to try that, 'curry of life'…" she stared at the hyuuga.

"maybe…" after cooking, the 2 ate in silence. That's until neji broke it. That's right. NEJI. BROKE. SILENCE…. AH!

"tenten… what's so special about your special person, compared to me?" he asked, putting down his chopsticks.

"hm…? Oh… to tell you the truth… there is none." She smiled. "what about you? What's she like compared to me?"

"she is no different. Because she is you." He said solidly. Tenten's eyes widened.

"you know I was supposed to guess, right?" she questioned again through her blushing.

"yea. But I needed to know who you liked more, than this dumb game." Neji said, slamming his hands on the wooden table. She smiled again.

"neji… it's you. I've liked you ever since I laid eyes on you when we were in middle school… remember? Well… I remember."

flash?!?

I walked out of Blossom's Breeze Middle School's gate. The others were waiting for me. Just as I was crossing the street to the mall, where the girls usually met. Me, ino, sakura, and hinata, were there. We talked into the food court, where we each got smoothies. As I slurped, sakura worked on homework. Then I saw YOU. You were with your friends, sasuke, naruto, and shikamaru. My heart skipped a beat. Sakura wasn't paying attention, ino was eying the shikamaru boy, hinata blushed at the sight of naruto.

Who are you…? I asked myself, looking at the pearl eyed boy. He walked away, my heart still beating fast.

"…" neji stayed silent. As they headed for bed, he chose the left side. Luckily she liked the right.

"I love you… tenten." He said without turning.

"I've always have, neji." And with that, she fell asleep.

---------------------------------naruhina's pov

"so… you like cooking right? What's your favorite dish?" naruto asked.

"I d-don't know… well… I do like ramen… it's a challe-" but before the poor girl could continue, naruto was glomping her.

"OH HINATA CHAN! YOU'RE THE BEST! I LOVE YOU! ALWAYS HAVE, EVER SINCE I MET YOU!… crap." Naruto screamed, until he realized what he had said. Hinata's eyes widened.

"really? Do you really love me, naruto kun?" she asked with hope.

"yeah… but by the way you described this other person… I can see I could never measure up…" he said sadly. He looked down, but hinata's hands cupped his face, and they brought his eyes up to eye level.

"answer my question, naruto kun…" she said.

"… yes… even if I can't have you…" he smiled.

"that's good…" she said, taking his cupped face, and kissing him. His eyes widened. She broke the kiss and said, "I love you naruto."

"HUH?! WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER GUYS HM-", he screamed, before she kissed him again.

"I said, 'he's the star of everything, not the smartest, but he makes his point, even if his past isn't the greatest. He loves the life he has, and ramen. He's truly strong, and worthy of a great title. I love so much, even if is a little hyper.'" Hinata said, "think, naruto. I know you can. Just try!"

naruto looked at her with huge eyes. "hinata… I don't know who…" naruto started.

"naruto. He's the star of everything: meaning he has everyone's attention. He makes his point, meaning everyone can hear him. Not the greatest past, meaning he still smiles to this day. He loves his life, meaning he loves to smile to this day (a/n think. It's 2 different things!). I think you understand the ramen part," he nodded, "he's strong through my eyes, because he's able to express his emotions, and ideas, without a single whisper, and I think he's worthy of something great. I love him, even if he is a little too active."

"… hinata, you're making this guy sound like me…" naruto said, and stared at hinata when she smiled.

"that's because, silly, it IS you. It's always been you, ever since I met you in 3rd grade!"she smiled.

Flash back

"HINATA! TENTEN! SAKURA! GET YOUR BUTTS OVER HERE! THERE'S SOMEONE I WANT YOU GUYS TO MEET!" ino shouted in front of wind elementary.

"ino, you don't have to shout." Sakura complained. Ino was standing at the gate with another blonde. He had electric blonde, instead of ino's hay blonde. He had blue eyes too, but were much bluer, and deeper. "guys… this is my cousin, naruto! He's from fire elementary!" ino grinned.

"HI, I'M NARUTO! NICE TO MEET YOU!" naruto said happily. I blushed. He's so handsome… AGH! I'm blushing! Oh my… please don't look my way…

"I'm sakura! Nice to meet you too, naruto!" sakura smiled.

"I'm tenten! My pleasure!" tenten said even though she seriously wanted to beat naruto into a bloodly plup.

I blushed, when he looked my direction. "uh… um… I-I'm… hinata…" I said, my voice coming out slowly. He looked at me strangely.

"um… okay. ANYWAY, I CAME BY TO SEE INO, AND I GOT YOU 3! YAY MORE FRIENDS!" he cheered loudly, then muttering something about, 'I eat new eme!'.

(a/n 'I beat you teme!' is the translation.)

"… thank you!" he screamed, and tackling me. He clung to her, all through dinner, ramen no duh, but during dinner, she felt woozy.

"whoa… what happened…?" she asked, but when she saw naruto clinging to her, she fainted.

"HINATA?! HINATA, CAN YOU HEAR ME?!" no answer.

In her mind…

Why am I in naruto's arms?!

Easy! I took over! It was easy, since you were outcold during the 20 questions game, and most of dinner. But you woke up. GOOD LUCK!

She woke in bed with a towel on her head.

"here." A hand was giving her, her pj's. she looked over them to see naruto's smiling face. "you fainted all of a sudden. I didn't want anything to happen, so here. I got it out of your pack, so I think it's yours. I don't neji on my back, soo…"

I smiled, but my blush was obvious. I took it, and said, "neji and I aren't close. You know how big the hyuuga estate is? It's BIG. He lives all the way in fire district, and me in wind. And we're in the same estate!" she said, walking into the bathroom.

"really?" he asked as she closed the door. He went over to his bag, and threw his clothes in it, along with the uniform for the next day at school.

"yeah." She said coming out. She was wearing a long light green silk gown. He was only in boxers. She blushed.

"what?" he asked, feeling her forehead. "are you feeling okay? Hinata?"

"y-yes… w-which side do you like?" she asked, examing the floor.

"THE RIGHT, IF THAT'S ALRIGHT!" he yelled. Ouch. Good thing the walls were soundproof.

"I'll take the left then…" she said climbing in. "good night naruto kun…"

"/yawn/… yeah… good night." Naruto said, slowly drifting off.

"I guess you're always on my mind naruto…. I wonder why?" hinata asked herself as she fell asleep.

----------------------meanwhile with the sasusaku's pairing…

sakura was laying on the bed with sasuke as her pillow. His arms were on her waist, and was leaning on the backboard. Then something hit him.

"hey… sakura, what did your screen name mean? M.f.?" he asked.

"hm…? Oh, that's easy. It stands for… memories forgotten…" she said sadly.

"sakura… I DID mention I'm sorry, right?" sasuke said quietly.

"yes sasuke, for the 32nd time, you have! And for the 32nd time, I forgive you!" she giggled. She kissed him. Then she saw the clock. It was 12:00, and she still hadn't made sasuke dinner. "sasuke…? Are you hungry?"

"yeah…" he replied. "hey, remember the time when you and I were in the kitchen and we tried to cook dinner?" he asked.

She laughed. "which 1? You blew up the cake, when were 4, burnt water, when we were 5, and almost set your house on fire trying to make the stove work!" she laughed harder at the memories.

"HEY! Just because you could cook eggs, brownies, cakes, steak, and even salmon, doesn't mean anything! You burnt water too! Besides… I've practiced." he aruged. (a/n hinata's the cook here. Sakura learned these from a recipe book, cuz her sister was too lazy to cook. Haha.)

"OH, DON'T GET ME STARTED, MR. 'I-CAN-DO-ANYTHING-SO-LEAVE-ME-ALONE-WHILE-I-TRY-TO-UNBURN-WATER'! YOU SUCKED AT COOKING!" she laughed, as tears began to form when sasuke, dragged her into the kitchen.

"you. Me. Cooking dinner. TOGETHER." He said with fire in his eyes. She stopped laughing, but she started laughing even harder.

"FINE! YOU'RE ON, UCHIHA!"

"BRING IT, HARUNO!"

and the 2 were off. Within 30 minutes, all the other groups had woken up to the delious smell coming out of their room. While going on the 2nd half of the main course, a knock was heard. KNOCK KNOCK.

"WHAT IS IT?!" the 2 screamed in unison. From the other side of the door, you could hear, "LET US IN! I'M HUNGRY! NO OFFENCE HINATA, YOUR RAMEN WAS THE BEST, BUT IT'S BEEN 2 HOURS!"

then you could hear a soft voice saying, "n-n-none taken, but seriously sakura chan… I'm hungry… please…?"

"C'MON FOREHEAD! LET US IN! YOU KNOW MY COOKING SUCKS, AND IS UNFILLING! ISN'T THAT RIGHT, SHIKA-KUN?!" another voice screamed.

"ugh… for once, I agree with her." A lazy voice responded. The sound of a fist hiting something hard was heard.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"

"hey, I'm only agreeing with you!" the lazy voice said.

"YEAH, BUT YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO AGREE!"

"UGH…troublesome…"

"sakura! Please! I'm hungry, now!" a menacingly sweet voice said.

"haruno san, uchiha, please let us in… before ino, naruto, and tenten, kill shikamaru and I. And I'm hungry." A slap was heard.

"NEJI! THAT WAS MEAN!" now there was fake crying. "I thought you loved me!"

"tenten…" a voice trailed off.

"I'm kidding! Your face was PRICELESS! Anyway, let me in!" the voice said cheerily.

"YEAH!YEAH! LET US IN, TEME, SAKURA CHAN!"

the 2 sighed. "and just when I was going to beat you…" sasuek mummered.

"what?" sakura asked, walking towards the door, and unlocking it. The door slammed open, before sakura barely got her hand away from the lock.

"FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!" 2 loud blondes schreeched. Everyone sweatdropped, as the 2 pigged in. The two brunettes jumped in, and then mr. lazy did too. That left sasuke and sakura. They simply ate the salmon had been broiling, and sasuke's pasta. They traded dishes.

Sakura took a bite, and she lit up. "WOW! Sasuke, this is really good!" she exclaimed. He smirked.

"told you so." He said, taking a bite of sakura's salmon. He smiled. "perfect as always. You've always been good at salmon, huh?"

she nodded. "YEP! I made for a certain someone…" she smiled. Sasuke already knew. It was her father. "he always liked my salmon. Mom loves it, but she usually ends up giving to him!"

the rest of the night went great, and at 3:00, the 8 finally fell asleep. But guess what? School was the very next day, and sakura's alarm went off at 6.

(a/n haha. Srry this took so long, once again. I promise to go a little faster next time… : ( but I don't think it will be the fastest, though.)
