Chapter Two

-Lee and Hinata-

"W-we need to co-come up with a-a plan!"

Lee nodded in agreement.

"We c-can't let T-Temari-san w-win Haruno-san's h-heart!"

Lee nodded once more, far less exuberant than usual.

"But how?"

Lee's sudden question stopped Hinata in her tracks.

"I-I don't kn-know…"

Silence consumed them both.

They had gotten used to the idea of Temari liking Sakura. It had taken awhile and quite a bit of ice-cream, but they calmed down.

Now they needed a plan.

"W-we need to…" Hinata trailed off and sighed in defeat. Flopping down on her bed she pouted at the floor.

Rock Lee, who was sitting cross-legged on said floor, let out a sigh of defeat.

Neither were the conniving types. They couldn't come up with an evil plot if they tried, and if they did they would likely feel too guilty about it to actually do anything.

"P-perhaps we c-could…" she gulped, "-pl-p-plot over a-a bowl of r-ramen…?"

Lee quickly agreed and jumped to his feet, "Ichiraku's?"

She nodded, "H-hai."


"So… let me get this strait… Temari is in love with Sakura but feels that Rock Lee is a threat so has joined forces with Ino and Sai to set Lee up with Hinata, both of whom are bummed at the news of Temari's feelings and unsure what to do. Meanwhile Hyuuga Hanabi and Shino have joined forces to set Hanabi up with Naruto for unknown reasons. And Sakura and Neji are plotting on separating Lee and Hinata because Sakura does have feelings for him…"

Tenten nodded, "Put simply; yes."

Shikamaru rubbed his forehead. "Too troublesome…"

Tenten suddenly looked horrified, "Please don't tell me you are interested in someone as well!"

Shikamaru gave her a skeptical look and rolled his eyes, "I have no interest in romance as of yet, too troublesome."

Tenten sighed in relief, "You had me worried… after all you seem rather close to both blonds involved."

He shot her a confused look, "Naruto and Ino?"

She shot him a droll look, "Dimwit."

"Whatever…" he sighed and looked up at the clouds as they walked, "Just another question… are you sure those are all the players?"

She blinked, "Huh?"

"Well… those were just the people you happened to overhear conversing. What about those you might not have heard? Or lone players who haven't gone for help?"

Tenten's heart sank.

'There could be more'

Shikamaru clucked his tongue, displeased with her lack of foresight, glancing ahead of him he spotted two of the known players. Seemingly the centers of attention even.

"Oi, onna, there's Lee and Hinata."

'Onna?! Who the hell does this asshole think he…-?!' putting her anger aside for later she followed his line of sight.

There, seemingly walking towards Ichiraku's, were the taijutsu specialist followed by the Hyuuga heiress.

The two shared a look.

They would need to spy.

It was the only way to figure out what those two planned to do.


Hinata was both happy and disappointed when the ramen booth was near empty.

Happy: no crowds.

Sad: no Naruto.

In fact, the only other patron was the hyperactive ninja's one and only best friend, Uchiha Sasuke.

'Good… he probably won't bug us even if he overhears.'

Sitting down and quickly ordering ramens they turned back to the problem.

"T-Temari-san is a-a very a-alluring women… i-if we don't do a-anything sh-she'll defiantly win H-Haruno-san's heart!"


Sasuke nearly choked on his meal.

'W-what?!'

Temari and Sakura?!

The first thought to come to his mind was confusion considering their genders.

The next was Hinata's phrasing.

'Does that mean Hinata's after Sakura as well as Lee?'

His brow twitched.

This was getting confusing.

Sipping up some more noodles, he paid close attention to their conversation.

"Sakura-san wouldn't really go that way… w-would she?"

Lee sounded nervous.

"O-of course not! Y-you still h-have a chance! A-and I-I'll help!"

Lee smiled brightly; he always could depend on Hinata.

"Thanks Hinata-san…"

She smiled in return.

The scene seemed all too lovey-dovey for Sasuke's tastes.

'I thought they were just friends… but what if…?' he didn't want to think about it. It was none of his business.

What was really irking him though was the two Shinobi's hiding nearby and listening in as well.

'Why the hell are Shikamaru and Tenten…?' it only got more confusing.

'What's going on…?'

A thought struck him.

Tenten was on Lee's team.

They were close friends.

What if he used her to get Lee away from his Hinata…?

An evil smile grew on his face.

Match-making wasn't his thing.

But this wasn't match-making… it's… getting rid of the competition!

Satisfied with his logic, Sasuke paid his attention to ramen once more.


((Ending Notes: Wow… random XD lol. I take suggestions for randoms, just FYI. X3))
