Being a blonde doesn't mean you're stupid. I mean, I'm blonde and I've been in the smarty-pants class since the first grade, so, why does everyone judge Ino by her natural hair color?
The Yamanaka of gossip didn't know, but having the knowledge of various types of flowers was enough for her to prove her theory: Blondes are just as smart as brunettes, red heads and black heads. And maybe pink hair in Sakura's case.
"Alright, do we have all of the flowers Kaa-san asked for?" Ino asked irritated, trying to blow away a large stem of blonde hair in her face.
Hinata let out a small giggle as Ino swore she just saw another pair of white eyes in the trees in her attempt to get her vision cleared from just yellow streaks of DNA.
No…Neji-san isn't one to do that. Or…is he? Ino thought curtly as her attempt was made a success, and then soon, more blonde hair hawked her vision. Damn!
"You know, you could ask us to help you," Sakura spoke shrilly, rolling her eyes. Ino puffed in anger.
"Iie! I could do this myself. I don't need help, I'm a young, talented, beautiful-" Ino was rudely cut off by Tenten.
"Stubborn, angsty, mid-evil fifteen year old. We know." Tenten smiled and pulled Ino's large lock of hair behind her pierced ear.
"I could have done that myself." Ino mused, pouting, turning around, her grasp on a million thorn-less roses tightened.
"Well, why didn't you?" Sakura's smirk swallowed Ino up whole as the blue-eyed beauty smirked back.
"Because I still looked beautiful that way," Ino dropped her flowers to the floor as she felt a bundle of irises and daises being thrown at her.
"Hey!" the pony-tailed girl yelped playfully, throwing more flowers at her friends.
"T-Tenten-chan, S-Sakura-chan, Ino-c-chan!" Hinata called under a pile of various amounts of flowers, gasping for air from the amazing amount of giggling she was doing just before.
"Hai!" Sakura replied, dodging a few flowers, soon to be greeted by a daffodil in the face.
"What's up?" Tenten yelled happily as the brunette launched more flowers in the air. After all, being a weapons mistress means having good aim. And trust me, did she have good aim.
The lily that Tenten threw hit Ino directly in the face as the spunk brushed it off. "I'm here!" Ino shouted curtly, biting her lower lip from having the urge to scream, "OLLI-OLLI-OXIN-FREE!", but she didn't, since her lack of bravery ate at her piece by piece.
"Ano…" Hinata stuttered, her voice muffled by the flowers. "Could s-someone help m-me?"
▪◄♥►▪
"Kaa-san, we're back!" Ino shouted as she opened the back door to the Yamanaka Flower Shop, walking in with three to four bags of thorn-less roses, followed by Sakura with an equal amount of bags full of golden yellow and tangerine orange daisies.
"Oh, that's just wonderful Ino!" the older woman replied, setting down a bushel of orchard colored lilacs in a long yellow slim vase.
"Ototo-chan!" Ino called for her younger brother as Tenten and Hinata entered through the door, more flowers in tow.
"Are! How many flowers did you pick?" Mrs. Yamanaka smiled heartily and walked out of the room with the vase in her gloved hands.
"Ino-hime!" Ino's little brother came zooming out from the staircase that led to more flowers.
"Ototo-chan, please help me," Ino begged him. The twelve year old boy quirked his blonde eyebrows.
"Ino-nee-hime, ask Aniki to do it for you, Chichiue wants me to help him find Tenten-chan's katana that she lost in here last week!" the boy said happily and gazed at Tenten.
The panda bun haired girl mentally shuddered. Why, for Kami's sake, does Basaki have to have a god-damned crush on me? Tenten sighed and smiled at the boy who blushed and looked back at the platinum blonde.
"Gomen Ino. Tou-san needs me. Okoti might help you if you ask. But he'll be busy with Dokusi," Basaki emphasized on Dokusi, having the knowledge that his brother has a disgusting, ugly, mean girlfriend.
"Dabo! Dokusi is nice! Besides, he wants to help his younger sister. I'm his favorite." Ino mused laughingly and Basaki stuck his tongue out at her.
"Tou-san! Ino-hime is making fun of me!"
"If you call me a princess, why do you yell at me?" the blonde girl questioned, dropping the bags that created a deep line of red on her fingers.
"I don't know, but leave me alone!" he yelled angrily and ran out. "Tenten-hime, I will be back for you!"
Everyone sweatdropped as Hinata gently placed down her bags of daisies on the wooden, glazed floor.
"Ano…hai. Let's get t-to work, ne?" Hinata smiled and Sakura plopped down her bags, heaving in for a big, long sigh.
Boy, just picking a million flowers sure does suck the life out of you.
▪◄♥►▪
Hinata waved good-bye to her friends as she made her short distanced way to the Hyuuga compound.
Her deep set sky blue back pack hung behind her back as her violet-red skirt waved in the wind.
Dark was coming soon, threatening shop keepers to close up their stores.
Some stores, on her way, were kept open twenty four hours and Hinata peered into some passing by.
The graffiti on the alley way's walls were painted and sprayed on quickly, Hinata judged; by the way each word was scribbled down.
The violet haired girl stopped in her tracks and gazed at the writing.
Naruto Uzumaki waz here! Was written on the corner edge of the red brick wall.
In the middle of the wall, two large, separate hearts were cleanly made, probably by fan girls, and they read, Neji Hyuuga, and Sasuke Uchiha. An equal's sign was drawn underneath: they love us!
Hinata giggled softly and blushed. Never had she seen someone permanently sign her cousin's name and her friend's name on a wall.
Traveling past a couple of more graffiti marks, the Hyuuga girl saw the names of her friends. What was written was: Ino is a slut! Sakura is a bitch! Tenten is a boy! Hinata is weak!
The girl's smiled faded and was replaced by sadness.
Who could have done this?
▪◄♥►▪
"Tou-san, I'm home!" Sakura shouted as she entered her home complex. Dropping her book bag by the coat rack, the pick haired girl headed for the kitchen.
Living on the twenty-seventh floor was great! Especially when Tenten was your next room neighbor.
Sakura had a big apartment complex, and it was neat too. Being built only four years ago, it was a large and sturdy home, perfect to fit the three people family the Harunos were.
"Sakura-chan, come in here for a minute!" Sakura's father called to her from the kitchen, just the place where the emerald eyed kunoichi was headed.
"Coming Tou-san," she replied in a monotone matter. Her socks rubbed against the carpeted surface of the living room floor, sending small electric shocks down Sakura's back, slowly making her way to her father.
"Ah, hai Tou-san?"
"Your mother will be working late tonight," Mr. Haruno said curtly.
"Again?" Sakura rolled her eyes and opened the refrigerator door, fingering her way to grab some water.
"Hai. Her new boss, er…what's her name?"
"Takamasu-sama?" Sakura answered, using her mother's boss's last name for reference. Sakura finally reached the bottle of water with her finger tips and motioned chakra towards her hands to get it into her grasp. Gotcha!
"Hai, hai! Takamasu-san is very strict. One day, I swear, your mother will get such a stress disease from her, it won't be even funny!" he joked, not looking up from the newspaper, his glasses reflecting from the kitchen's light.
Sakura giggled and took a sip of water from the opened bottle. "Hm…Tou-san, what's for dinner?"
Sakura's father glanced up from the paper, at Sakura, then back at the paper. "Miso ramen."
The pink haired girl sighed and set down the bottle of water. Opening the kitchen cabinet, the girl pulled out instant ramen in a cup and set the kettle of water on the stove.
Turning on the stove, Sakura softly muttered, "Itadakimasu,"
Seriously. Her dad is becoming more like Naruto…
▪◄♥►▪
Tenten smiled brightly at her family. "Itadakimasu!" she said happily as she dug into her food.
Her mother, father and sister smiled back at her and softly replied, "Itadakimasu." Being a quite tough – no, really tough family calls for healthy meals.
Tonight, on behalf of the first day of school, Tenten's mother let her family eat some takeout: riceballs, fried and white rice, chicken bits, cooked vegetables, and her favorite, ramen.
The panda bun haired girl looked at her sister. Her blonde hair shone in the dining room's light, reflecting a peach-golden color. Her emerald green eyes were happy and smiling, like her matching attitude.
"Onee-chan, did you get into that college you wanted to?" Tenten asked, after swallowing her food.
Her older sister nodded. "Hey, Tenten-nee-chan, are you with Neji again?" Fyorie teased jokingly, waving her chop sticks in the air.
The brunette flushed a faint red. "So what if I am?"
"Neji? That boy you are friends with? As in, best friends?" her father hissed, not quite pleased.
"Tou-san! We are only best friends, like me and Lee-kun!" Tenten protested as her father's blonde eyebrows relaxed.
"I only trust Lee-san, not that other boy."
"Pou! This is your daughter's friend! Best friend! Treat him with respect, whether or not he's here or anywhere else!" the older brunette roared and soon Tenten's father went back to chewing on his food.
"Tou-san's name is Pou?" Tenten giggled matter-of-factly.
"Hai, Tenten-nee-chan. Eat." Fyorie demanded, setting down her eating utensils. "Neji is just her best friend Chichiue. Kaa-san, tell him that although Tenten has a crush on him-"
"HEY! I DO NOT!"
"Read your diary,"
Damn.
▪◄♥►▪
Ino read the book that Asuma gave her – well, he gave the class, but Ino thought – no, knew, that Asuma gave her a bigger book than everyone else.
It's not her fault she was late. Konoha High is huge; Asuma needs to get over it.
Ino bit at the end of her pencil – a habit everyone has – and read the paragraph on the mission ranks for the umpteenth time.
Sighing, her eyes skimmed through the words slowly.
"Rank
S
These missions may not always be the most dangerous but only
ANBU members or the Kage participate in them. It is very unlikely
anyone of a lower rank would be part of these missions.
Rank
A
This type of mission is the most dangerous. Ninjas ranked
Jounin or higher are usually assigned to these missions. Very often,
if things are very bad you will see a Kage participating. Generally
you will not find a ninja of lower rank than Jounin in these types of
missions unless it is absolutely necessary. Rank A missions are
extremely dangerous and usually there is a death or severe injury as
a result of it.
Rank
B
Missions B ranked are not as tough as A ranked missions. The
difficulty is still pretty high. Most B ranked missions involve
retrieving important documents or protecting someone and taking them
to a certain location. Mostly Jounin or Chuunin ranked ninjas perform
these types of missions.
Rank
C
These types of missions are generally performed by Chuunins.
At times you will even see skilled Genins performing missions C
ranked. Most C ranked missions involve protecting an elderly or
sending/retrieving a document.
Rank
D
D ranked missions are the lowest ranked. These missions are
almost all performed by Genins. These missions usually are tedious
work or basically useless work. Some missions include: saving an
animal, taking out the garbage, walking an animal, or other pointless
and boring work. Genins who want to be Chuunins must complete 8 of
these missions."
What the hell were they supposed to do for homework anyways? Ino eyed the small lavender piece of paper where she scribbled her noted down.
She grabbed it nonchalantly and unfurled it from its crumbled state. Running her finger past all the doodles she drew with her pen, she finally found the homework.
It read, in small, cursive handwriting: "Read Nin Mission Ranks (S through D). Write a paragraph on what Rank you are on and why."
Doshite!
▪◄♥►▪
Hinata popped in her keys to the front door as the mahogany contraption opened with a soft click. She shuffled through the door way nervously, slipping off her black loafers, getting ready to hurry off upstairs.
"Hinata-nee-chan! Where are you my darling big sister?" Hanabi exclaimed evilly from the living room, her voice slightly muffled.
But the question is, who can muffle a high-pitched and sly voice like Hanabi's?
Hm…No one.
"Ano…Here…" Hinata stammered as Hanabi ran at top speed for her sister, waving her arms in the ivory scented air.
"I know something you don't know!" she proclaimed in sing-song. Hinata nodded curtly and smiled.
"Hai, Hanabi-nee-san, I w-will go now…" the violet haired beauty said faintly as she started walking past her younger sister.
"Iie! You're supposed to ask what I know that you don't!" Hanabi cried irritated.
Hinata smiled and stopped. The girl twisted her body frame and looked at her sister with eyes of glee. "H-hai. What do you know t-that I don't?"
Hanabi sighed and pinched her lower forehead, in between her eyes in arrogance. "That Naruto guy came by! He asked for you! Something about…English class and a white haired 'bastard' as he called him…" Hanabi planted a hand on her chin in thinking.
Hinata blushed. Naruto stopped by…? For me…?
▪◄♥►▪
Sakura heaved the water kettle off the stove and poured the hot steaming liquid into the ramen cups. "Tou-san, anything happened today while I was at Ino's?" Sakura asked, placing the two cups on the kitchen table.
Sakura's father neatly creased the newspaper into halves and plopped it on the edge of the board. He thought for a minute and frowned.
"That Uchiha boy stopped by." He hissed. "He spoke something about some science project and then a similar boy to him said the same thing. In fact, I think his name was Sai or something."
Sakura's face lit up like a thousand candles. "Sasuke-kun stopped by? Sai-san too?" she cried.
"Nani? You hang around boys now, like Tenten?" he questioned, slurping down some ramen with his chop sticks.
The pink haired girl shook her head. "Iie, Tou-san. Tenten only has guy friends, not boyfriends. And Sasuke-kun's just my friend."
"I thought you were mad at him."
Sakura smiled. "I am."
That's my girl…
▪◄♥►▪
"Tenten, you know, you have got to stop liking Neji. I mean, he's a Hyuuga prodigy, he has no feelings what so ever. Get over it," Fyorie shook her head in disapproval.
Tenten's father looked utterly displeased. "No talk about a boy in this table." He scolded harshly.
"Pou, let them speak! Tenten's in high school now! Leave her be! If we don't get to see grandchildren out of her, I'm going to blame it on you!" The mocha haired woman shouted, pointing an accusing finger at him.
He rolled his eyes boyishly.
"Fyorie-nee-chan! Stop! If I choose to like him, I can! I don't care whether he has feelings or not, I know he does!" Tenten protested, standing up. "He's just being himself! He can't help it! He has that mark! It could kill him any minute now, and all you're doing is not helping at all! Stop it will you?!"
The panda bun haired girl ran off up the stairs, up to her room and slammed the door with a harsh thud!
Tenten's mother sighed. "Do you think it's the wrong time to tell her that Neji stopped by?"
Pou nodded and crossed his arms over his chest in a Neji like manner. "Hai, I think so Minjue, I think so."
▪◄♥►▪
Ino slammed her notebook closed with great pride. "Finally! I am done!" she squealed triumphantly blasting the air around her with punches if joy.
Ding dong! The doorbell echoed throughout the Yamanaka household, embroidering it with various "Who is its?" and "You answer its".
"I'll get it!" Basaki exclaimed as Ino heard soft thumps of feet run their way down the stairs and open the door.
Several seconds and Ino's doodles later, Basaki couldn't help but burst out into a fit of laughter. "I-I-Ino-nee-yarou! T-This guy s-says th-that-"
Guy? Ino furrowed her eyebrows together and stood up from her seat in her room. The chair yelped against the wooden framed floor as Ino sprinted towards her brother.
"Basaki! Don't call me an asshole, let the man in!" she shouted, her butt gently sliding down the painted glossy, tan arch of the stairs, landing on her toes, grabbing Basaki's blonde ruffles and abruptly heaving him towards the living room.
"So…will it be troublesome if I come in?" a lazy voice asked.
Ino looked at the boy. "Shikamaru?" she continued to furrow her brows. "What are you doing here?"
Shikamaru opened his mouth, but Ino cut in. "For Kami's sake! Get your lazy ass in here! It's freezing outside!" she demanded, pointing her arm in the direction of the kitchen.
The Nara boy sighed and walked inside droopily and plopped on the leather couch in the living room.
"So, what's up?" Ino questioned, setting herself neatly down on the couch next to him.
"Question one: Have you seen Chouji? And two: Do I have to walk with you to school tomorrow?"
▪◄♥►▪
Tenten rolled sleepily on her bed. Mumbling something – along the lines of, "Neji-kun" and "cheese" – she sleep smiled in content as the dream Tenten danced with dream Neji.
The music played classically and feverishly as Neji dipped Tenten in their romantically hot dance. Violin strings were burning against the fiery wrath of the bow threads. The harp's twine was plucked in a fever pitch rhythm as the piano's keys were constantly being pressed by the musician's harsh and soft touch.
Tenten's long slender neck was embedded with a beautiful crystal choker – designed by a Hyuuga – namely Neji Hyuuga. The long slim dress of golden yellow pranced around her ankles teasingly as her head was held high – her buns bopping with the motions.
Her dress resembled of Belle's of Beauty and the Beast as her hands were enveloped with a thin layer of silvery pearl glove reaching her elbows. Another layer – a warm, rough hand – held her palm tightly and protectively.
Neji – being the gentleman that he was – accompanied her waist with his other hand as he gazed into Tenten's supple chocolate hazel orbs. Fortunately, Tenten wasn't the only one who over dressed.
Actually, it was everyone in the room that was being worn as an accessory – a dream come true to all of those fashion queens.
In fact, Neji wore a black tuxedo – one of a kind to be precise – rather than a yukata when a fancy festival was to happen.
The bracelet on Tenten's willowy wrist dangled as the shimmery eyeshadow carefully patted on her eyelids and lips glistened in the peachy pink dream lights.
Dimly lit, true, the palace was a wonderland on clouds – big puffy white ones – as the scene of the background was tinting a plum purple, indicating nighttime.
"Neji-kun," Tenten announced whisperingly. "This is beautiful,"
Neji smirked. "Not as beautiful as you," he protested.
Tenten blushed a lovely shade of cherry pink as she nuzzled herself in his chest.
"Neji-kun…"
Outside the room, Fyorie was listening with great intent as Neji scaled the side of the building wall, carefully peering into the window on the balcony to see Tenten snoozing peacefully.
▪◄♥►▪
"Sasuke-kun, where are we going?" Sakura gushed out blushingly.
"Few more steps hold on…" Sasuke led her defensively, clutching her hand, following her every movement in his head.
Sakura slowly crept up as Sasuke tugged on her palm longingly. "Okay, we're here," the Uchiha boy said, walking in back of Sakura, untying the navy blindfold adorning her vision.
As Sasuke held the blindfold, Sakura took a breather and flapped open her emerald eyes. She gasped in joy as her cheeks responded the reaction with a tint of pink.
"Sasuke-kun!" she cried happily, grabbing his wrist, tugging him into the field of sakura trees.
Petals fell down, flower by flower, envisioning their view of pink, pink, pink and more pink.
Running down the several countless aisles of pink trees, the duo stopped chasing each other, taking in the fresh mountain air, admiring it.
"Sasuke-kun, why are we here?" she asked, sitting down next to Sasuke who was cupping his mouth with his hands, as if to close the small pathway between his fingers, mouth and the air.
He arched his raven brows. "Because." He started. "I love you."
Sakura blushed and edged closer to him, eventually, meeting his shoulder with hers. She let her head rest on his shoulder as she smiled. "I love you too Sasuke-kun."
Sakura's father – Tiro – frowned. Creeping the door open, he shook his head.
"See Kyra, she'll never get over him," he commented angrily as he fumbled out of the hallway into his bedroom where his overly exhausted wife lay on their bed, casually flipping the channels with the remote.
"And what's wrong with that?" Kyra adjusted her lying position, tossing pink locks of hair over her shoulder. "She loves the boy, leave her be."
"But I don't like him," Tiro said, taking off his glasses.
"You don't have to like him. Pou-san is the same way," Kyra defended nonchalantly. "Don't worry, it's not like Sasuke will rape her, or abuse her. From what I hear, he has small or maybe little feelings for Sakura at all. Calm down."
"Yosh, by the power of Kami, she is my daughter, and I will do what's right for her." He hissed angrily.
Kyra's cherry eyebrows knitted together in rage. "Oh no you will not! Twelve hours, TWELVE HOURS I GAVE BIRTH TO HER! SHE CAME OUT OF ME INTO THIS WORLD AND YOU WILL DO NO SUCH THING! SHE IS OLD ENOUGH TO MAKE HER OWN DISICIONS! SHE IS IN HIGH SCHOOL NOW!"
Tiro frowned and immediately gave up. "Fine. Just as long as I don't see little Uchihas in her belly before I die."
Outside of Sakura's room, in her balcony, Sasuke signaled Neji – on Tenten's terrace – with a smirk.
"He's waiting for us." He mouthed.
▪◄♥►▪
Hinata sighed dreamily in her peaceful slumber as sugar plums and flowers pranced around in her head.
Naruto grabbed Hinata by the waist and swung her around in a circle. She giggled happily as the Kyuubi boy's whiskers flicked in attention.
"Hinata-chan, oh, Hinata!" Naruto shouted, planting her back on the grass. "My dearest Hinata-chan!"
The moon eyed girl blushed mildly and cuddled up warmly with Naruto. "Naruto-kun, you are so good to me…" she whispered as he laid his head gently on hers – very protective manner – and entwined his hands around her waist.
"Hinata-chan, please can I ask you a question?" Naruto sang slowly. Hinata muffled a "Hai," underneath his orange and black jumpsuit.
He smiled. "Hinata-chan, would you do me the honor of dating me?"
The girl almost fainted in her sleep. Hinata's face lit up and she smiled. "Hai!"
They lay there in the grass as the violet haired heroin sang to Naruto.
A smile spread across Hinata's face as Hanabi chocked down a cough of disgust. "I can't believe she likes him!" she hissed to Konohamaru.
He nodded in participation and frowned. "How can you like someone like that?" he rolled his eyes in disapproval.
Hanabi blushed. "Well…"
Naruto hang upside down from the chakra string holding him up to watch Hinata sleep.
"Not much time left…" he muttered to himself.
▪◄♥►▪
Ino glared down at Shikamaru. "How could you do this to me?!" she screamed, tears flowing freely down her face. "I thought you loved me!"
Shikamaru caught her in his grasp. "I'm sorry Ino, I really am…Gomen nasai…" he soothed – failing miserably.
"What do you mean you're sorry? You leave me behind for that bitch? Temari or something? You told me you loved me, but you're a big fat liar!" she screeched, trying to break free of his hold, failing as he did.
"Iie, Ino, you don't understand. It wasn't like that," Shikamaru rubbed her hair sweetly as her tears ceased for a minute.
"But you were with her," Ino hiccupped. "I saw you and you were kissing and I thought that you…I don't know…"
Shikamaru smiled. "Shush, troublesome woman, you know I love you," he whispered, gazing into her pink, puffy eyes. "I wasn't kissing her; she thanked me and gave me information of the daimyo of the Kazekage. Hush now, don't cry."
She looked into his drooping eyes and smiled. "I'm sorry Shika-kun… I really am…" she repeated his words softly and nuzzled into his chest, slowly thinking of the things they could do tomorrow, the month after that, the year after that, the decade after that…
Ino stirred on her bed leisurely and grinned. "Shika…" she mumbled.
Shikamaru smirked. Walking in the stealth of a ninja he's used to, he caressed her cheek and thought: The plan better work.
