O.o is there really any need for an excuse to say why I haven't updated?

Blah, well, sorry for the long update. This isn't much, but it's worth a shot.

Thanks Reviewers. I wasn't expecting eight people for the first chapter, but hey, I ain't complaining. You all rule :D

A quick change! … when the boys in Shinobi are on stage, they have stage names and disguises. This is to insure when they go out in public, they don't need a disguise so they won't get stalked. Just look back at the last chapter, and it'll explain their appearances. Name's go as followed.

Sasuke – Rui

Neji – Ryo

Naruto – Shun

Shikamaru – Daichi

ONWORD…

To the 5th grade writing! Booyah.

NEWS FLASH!

Famous boy rock group, Shinobi, have taken an indefinite hiatus!

Reasons are still unknown, but we can tell you there was an argument between two members of this famous rock group! Info on the argument is still in the process of being discovered.

IS THIS THE END OF SHINOBI?!

Only time will tell!

"So this is it, huh?"

"Don't worry Saku-chan! We'll email, phone and text you every chance we get! Plus, Hinata will be here whenever you someone to talk to!"

"I-Ino's right S-Sakura! We'll stick together!"

Sakura sighed. "Yeah, your right. It's a shame Tenten left 6 hours ago."

FLIGHT 57A TO ROME IS NOW BOARDING.

Ino sighed. "Well, that's my flight. I guess this is goodbye."

Hinata titled her head. "Don't say that I-Ino! Goodbye m-means forever. T-this is just for a summer!"

"Hinata's right! I guess this is a more of a see-you-later kinda moment, ne?"

Ino smiled. "Yeah, I'll see you guys in soon time!"

Ino, Sakura and Hinata all had one final group hug before Ino departed towards her flight. Previously, Tenten had already departed for her flight to Florida.

Sakura sighed. "well, I guess it's just you and me Hinata."

What time is it? Summertime! It's our vacation!

With the familiar ring tone playing, Hinata went and answered her phone. Only fitting she had a high school musical song about the summertime as her ring tone.

"Mooshi mooshi?"

Sakura and Hinata began walking their way towards the exit of the airport, as Hinata continued talking on the phone. Sakura swore, Hinata was blushing bright red.

"H-Hai. I'll be right in Kiba-kun."

Oh, now Sakura knew why.

CLICK!

"ooooh, Kiba?" Sakura inquired smoothly. Hinata blushed as she closed her phone.

"S-Shino can't make his shift, so I-I was called in."

"By Kiba personally." Sakura teased. Hinata continued blushing beet red.

"well, I gotta go Sakura-chan."

Sakura nodded. "okay. I got to get to work too before Karin bites my head off. Wanna meet for dinner?"

Hinata shook her head. "Gomen, I-I can't. Kiba kinda asked me to g-go out."

Sakura gasped in excitement. "He did WHAT!?"

Hinata blushed even more as the duo made it outside the airport and walked to Hinata's personal car with chauffer. When being the heiress to the Hyuuga fortune, you live, eat and breathe style.

"shh S-Sakura-chan! I-It's not that big o-of a deal."

"Pah, you kidding me?! He basically asked you out!"

Hinata's head was steaming.

Sakura winked at her. "no worries Hinata. You have a good time. you gotta tell me all about it later though, alright?"

Hinata began to lose the red in her face and nodded at Sakura. "You bet."

Hinata's chauffer stepped out of the car and went to the other side to let her in. Hinata turned to Sakura before getting in.

"You s-sure you don't need a r-ride?"

Sakura shook her head. "nah, it's cool. My hotels around the corner anyway. You get going to your job anyway. Which again, makes me wonder why you even have a job, when you have a whole fortune at your fingertips?!"

Hinata let out a giggle. "I rather e-earn my money then just have it h-handed to me. I-its more rewarding."

Sakura smiled and began to turn to walk away. "I'll see you later Hinata. Don't forget to give me the story of your date!"

"Tenten, have you heard from Sakura-san yet?"

"No Lee for the 34th time, I haven't. we just got off the plane and I have not gotten any contact with her."

"oh, well when you do get hold of her, please let me know."

"Oh, you'll be the first to know."

Lee flashed Tenten his usual teeth shining grin. "I'm gunna go get something to drink. You want anything?"

Tenten was going to decline, but a sudden caffeine urge came over her. "grande caffe latte, soy milk, extra foam. Add some extra chocolate sprinkles while you're at it."

Tenten had a feeling Lee wouldn't remember. But he recited it word for word. He then gave her a thumbs up. "no worries Tenten! One grande caffe latte soy milk extra foam with chocolate sprinkles coming right up!"

Tenten rolled her eyes and sat back in her seat, half asleep, with a sports magazine on her face, casting darkness in her vision. They had just landed in London, England, so the plane could refuel. There was a three hour delay, and if Tenten had to hear anymore of Lee's constant whining for Sakura or just talking about useless things, she'll–

"Is this seat taken?" an angelic voice said. Tenten lifted the magazine so she could see the person whose voice that belonged to.

Her jaw dropped. Was this what a God looked like!? Long chocolate brown hair, a pair of jeans, a brown golf tee, simple slip on nike sandals and sunglasses concealing his eyes, which was completely unnecessary because it was two in the morning. He also had a small bag with him, probably just carrying some random stuff.

He was looking directly at her, so she figured he was talking to her.

"Oh, uh no! go right ahead!" she said signaling to the seat on her left, which was vacant. The boy nodded and sat down, folding his arms and simply relaxing.

Tenten put the magazine back on her face to hide the blush she knew was appearing on her face. At some points, she'd 'readjusted' the magazine, which was just an excuse for her to look at him.

During her little spying-through-magazine session, the guy beside Tenten opened his bag, which was full of clothes. The bag was bulky, which meant he either had a lot of clothes in there, or they weren't folded.

It was door number two.

He began pulling out clothes, and folding them to fit into the bag. Tenten could just imagine him in said clothes.

Awwhh wow, he is a God.

"here's you grande caffe latte soy milk extra foam with chocolate sprinkles Tenten!"

Tenten looked up, and there was Rock Lee, running at a fast pace, with two hot coffee cups in his hands.

And the baka was so busy looking at Tenten while running, he didn't see the briefcase on the ground, belonging to the business man who was staring at the big board with the time of flights.

As you may be thinking, the drinks lee was carrying went flying through the air, and landed right on 'God' sitting next to Tenten.

No.

They went flying though the air, and landed right on the person next to 'God.'

AKA, Tenten.

ksplash.

"HOT!"

Tenten began jumping around, as the two drinks landed on her pants, spilling all over, and seeking through the jeans, causing the hot liquid to burn her skin.

Oh man, this is so embarrassing. Thanks for nothing Lee!

"Oh Tenten! I'm so sorry! Gomen!"

Tenten growled in annoyance. "Ah, and all my clothes are in my duffle bag! I can't go on a seven hour flight to Florida like this!"

"Here."

Tenten and Lee both looked to Tenten's left, and there was said God, handing her a pair of sweats. Tenten blinked in confusion.

"eh?"

"you need pants, no?"

"O-Oh. Uhm yeah. Wow, thank you!"

Tenten took the pair of sweat pants and ran to the closest bathroom, while on the way, gained some stares from people looking at her coffee colored pants.

Changing into the pants, there was a distinct smell of lavenders… it reminded Tenten of Hinata's house. The house had a distinct smell of lavenders as they were in every pot in every room.

It smelt amazing.

She slipped the pants on, which weren't too big for her, but still a few good sizes to big. The rolled the bottoms up so they didn't drag on the ground. The fabric of the pants were extremely soft – like the one's Tenten wanted to badly at the Abercrombie and Finch store back home. they were soft, but no where near as soft as these sweats. Before it was impossible to look, she checked the name tag of the pants at the back.

Her head began to spin. This was the kind of expensive brand that one pair of socks would cost 150 for. She didn't even want to think about how expensive these pants were.

Stepping out of the stall, she looked at herself in the gigantic mirror in the bathroom (which she had to admit, she looked great in said sweats!) and headed back out.

Oh snap. What do I say to him once I get back?

On her way back to her seat, she began thinking of the most polite and conversation starting way to say thank you.

"Thank you very much for the pants. They're very nice." No that sounds stupid! "thank you sir for the sweats. It was very grateful!" argh, I sound like a suck up!

Once she reached her boarding area, she noticed everyone was standing up in line.

"Tenten!"

She looked to her left, and there was Rock Lee in line, ready to board the plane. He had his bag in one hand, and Tenten's carry on bag in his other. He handed Tenten her bag once she was in line with him.

"Thanks Lee. Uhm, where did that guy go…?"

"Oh, you mean Neji? He's in first class, so he's already on the plane."

"Neji?"

"yeah, that's his name. I began telling him how youthful he was for helping you when you were in distress and then I demanded his name. After some time, he told me his name and to leave him alone."

"so…did he give you his full name?"

"Yeah."

"… well what is it baka!?"

"Hyuuga Neji."

Tenten choked on her own saliva. HYUUGA!?

She has to find this guy. By the way he dresses and looks, he could easily belong to the Hyuuga family. Geez, Hinata never told Tenten she had a hot relative!

If they even were relatives.

"hey wait… he's on our flight to Florida?"

lee nodded as the line proceeded to get into the plane. "Yeah, but I never asked him where he was going really. He just said he's going somewhere to get away from annoying people like myself. Can you believe it?! he called me annoying!"

Lee continued to babble on, as Tenten blocked his voice out of her head. Inside her head however, the thoughts of this Hyuuga Neji danced around in her head

Wow, is Hyuuga Neji for real?

"Haruno-baka, you're late!"

Sakura rolled her eyes as she readjusted her uniform for work. "So sorry 'Karin-hime,' but I had things to do."

Karin looked touched. "Ah, so you've finally acknowledged me as a superior? Even a princess!?"

Sakura walked past Karin over to the chart at the front desk of the hotel. "yeah, whatever. Don't let it go to you head."

Karin grimaced and folded her arms, turning her back to Sakura. "well get to work. Because you were late, I had to work as a bellhop for fifteen minutes. I could have broken a nail doing your stupid job."

"Yeah, I wished you did break a nail." A new voice inquired. Coming from the backroom, Suigestu appeared, grinning his shark boy look.

"shut up Suigestu! I wasn't talking to you!"

"Ah, but now you are, so what's the problem?"

Karin growled in frustration and headed over to her candy counter. To relieve herself of her anger, she pulled out a shinobi poster.

"Hm, they're so hot! Why did you have to go on an indefinite hiatus right after I went to your concert!?"

Sakura raised a brow as she signed in at the front desk to begin her duties. "you went to their concert last night?"

Karin smirked. "front and centre! I caught Rui sweat drops a few times, and then I got Ryo's guitar pick. Awh, it was amazing, and I know your jealous Haruno."

Sakura rolled her eyes as she grabbed someone's luggage and put it on the trolley to head up the next few floors. Suigestu, the other bellhop took the cart and led the new guests up the elevator. "Yes Karin, I'm green with envy."

Karin winked, "I knew it. Any who, I'm going on break. Please take care of my counter will you Haruno? In also, since you were late, Anko-sama is putting part of your pay on mine as I had to take your shift for that time. tah-tah!"

Karin headed through the backroom, waving fakely and laughing. Sakura sighed. Karin always seemed to enjoy taunting Sakura to no end. Sakura began pulling her hair and kicking the wall.

"UGH! Stupid Karin! Always getting on my nerves! I swear one day I'm gunna–"

"Ahem."

As someone rudely made the noise of wanting to be acknowledged, Sakura whipped around angrily.

"WHA!–ohh…"

Sakura broke out of her angry mood and turned back into her seven year old fan girl self. Leaning against the front desk was a beautiful creature waiting to be served. Nice build, raven hair that stuck up at the back, onyx eyes that were locked with Sakura's gaze, an annoyed look on his face–

"are you going to sign me in or drool over my all day?"

Sakura snapped out of her trance. What an egotistical prick! She was so not drooling!

…okay maybe a little bit, but still!

"yes your majesty." She said rolling her eyes. She turned to the computer and began typing stuff down. The man scoffed at her sarcasm.

"Name."

"Uchiha Sasuke."

Sakura's mouth almost dropped. UCHIHA SASUKE?! Sexy name!

"How many nights?"

"A month."

"any specific suite?"

"Luxury."

Damn, this guy had money to burn!

"can you hurry up?" the Uchiha demanded. Sakura's eyes widened at the rude demand.

"Sorry your highness, but I'm going as fast as I can!"

"Hn, whatever."

Sakura printed off the log in sheet and slammed it down on the desk, with a pen. "sign wherever required."

After half a minute, he put the pen down and grunted. Sakura filed it and walked around the desk.

"Where's your shit?"

He blinked. "My what?"

Sakura mentally slapped herself. Her anger took over there for a moment, and if her manager Anko heard her speak that, she'd definitely get into trouble."

"Er, I mean your luggage."

Sasuke tilted his head to his right, and there were three suitcases. Sighing, she pulled out a cart and lifted the luggage on. Sasuke watched her with annoyed eyes.

"Haruno, your not watching my counter! How many times do I have to tell you–"

"Shut up Karin! I'm dealing with someone at the moment!"

"Regardless of who it is, you–"

Karin stopped mid sentence as she entered the lobby and looked directly at Sasuke. She immediately went to the Uchiha's side, clinging to his arm, giving him a flirtatious look.

"Hi there. sorry if my co-worker was a little crabby. She's still learning the meaning of respect."

Sakura glared at Karin. Sakura wanted to argue back, but the Uchiha could file a complaint about Sakura, so she kept her mouth shut.

"Get off me." Sasuke spoke to Karin, pulling his arm away from her. Karin and Sakura both seem started by the altercation.

Sasuke turned to Sakura. "Let's go. I don't have all day."

Sakura nodded, pushing the cart into the elevator. Sasuke followed and the doors closed as the two got inside. as the door closed, Sakura could see Karin's annoyed face, glaring holes in her.

Sakura grunted. Karin could be such a pain.

Sakura pressed the penthouse button where Sasuke's luxury suite resided. As the elevator began going up, Sakura noticed the guitar case in Sasuke's hand, and a punch of papers in the other. From the look of the papers, they had music bars.

Ah, so the brat writes music.

"You're a musician?" Sakura inquired. Sasuke barely glanced at Sakura.

"Hn, what's it to you?"

Sakura cocked an eyebrow at how defensive the Uchiha got. "uh, nothing. just wondering."

BING!

The doors opened to the penthouse floor. Sasuke stepped out first, followed by Sakura and the baggage trolley.

As the two turned the corner, Sasuke bumped into something…or someone.

"Ouch man. Watch where you're going!" the guy who fell down said. Sasuke remained standing, but he dropped his guitar case and his music sheets.

Sakura mentally slapped herself. Suigestu had just ran into Sasuke. Sasuke could file a complaint if he wanted!

"Uh Suigestu, what are you doing up here?" Sakura said. Suigestu got up and dusted himself off.

"doing my job. I was heading downstairs."

Sakura nodded as Suigestu began running away. Sasuke grunted and began picking up the music sheets. Sakura bent down and helped, picking up the closest to her.

As she picked up one, she read the title of it. Phenomenon

Wasn't that one of Shinobi's songs? Not that Sakura really cared or anything, but when yesterday's concert was broadcasting and Ino had been watching it for that split moment Sakura had let her, she swore she heard some of these lyrics.

"Phenomenon? Like Shinobi's song?"

Sasuke glared at her and swiped the music sheets from Sakura's hands. "it's none of your business."

Sakura gave Sasuke a stern look as she stood up and folded her arms. "Fine, geez. Man, what's your problem? What are you, like the lead singer of shinobi?" Sakura said rolling her eyes.

Sasuke froze for a split second, then returned to his calm, cool, collective façade. "right. And what are you? A shinobi fan girl?"

Sakura scoffed and looked away. "You kidding me!? I despise them! I only know of that stupid song because my friend slightly admires the band."

A small smirk played on Sasuke's face. A hater? That's a first.

"Hn, whatever. Just take me to my room."

Sakura wheeled the cart down the hall as Sasuke followed. Reaching room 587, Sasuke's room. She swiped a card across a scanner, and the door opened. She pushed the cart in and began unloading the bags from the cart. Sasuke walked in and scanned the room. He seemed content with the layout.

Once done unloading the bags, Sakura wheeled the cart of the room. She gave Sasuke one last look. "if you need anything, buzz the front desk."

"Hn."

She slowly tore her gaze away from Sasuke and stepped out, closing the door behind her. She sidestepped and leaned against the wall. A blush crept on her face.

As much as she thought this guy was a total prick, she couldn't deny he was incredibly gorgeous.

This could be a long month.

Heading back towards the elevator, Sakura noticed something white under one of the tables in the hallway. Kneeling down to pick it up, she realized it was one of Sasuke's music sheets.

Tongue Tied? What kind of song name is that?

She scanned over the lyrics on the sheet. She gave it a pathetic look.

Wow, its pretty rough. Its like he can't get the words right.

Turning around, she was going to go and give it to Sasuke, but then figured he'd just yell at her to go away.

Sighing, she folded the sheet and stuck the paper down her bra, as she had no pockets to tuck it into to.

Tonight she'd look it over. Maybe she could salvage the lyrics.

"PLEASE HIRE ME!" a blonde teen whined as he held onto a dog like boys foot. The dog like boy shook he leg.

"Ah, let go of my leg you baka! And don't ask me, ask the manager!"

The blonde boy let go and stood up. "Who's the manager?"

"Oie, Kiba! What's with all the yelling?!" a man with a cigarette in his mouth said as he came out from the back room. Kiba bowed.

"Gomen Asuma. This kids been begging for a job."

Asuma scanned the blonde. "Name?"

The blonde gave a grin and a thumbs up, "Uzumaki Naruto at your service!"

"Ah, now tell me Uzumaki Naruto, do you have any experience in work?"

Besides the fact I was in a band globally known, and now that were on indefinite hiatus Kakashi has cut off my bank account so now I can't take any money out and I need a job so I can make money!? Nope.

"Uh no, not really."

Asuma folded his arms, "so why should I hire you?"

"because I am a hard worker, and I'm full of enthusiasm. Watch! When the next person walks into this store, I'll greet them and give them a warm welcome!"

Naruto headed over to the automatic doors, waiting for the next person to appear. He hid behind a stack of baskets, ready to jump at the next person entering.

The sound of doors sliding open alerted Naruto's senses. He jumped up, right in front of the person, mere inches away from their face.

"Welcome to Konoha's superstore! All your shopping supplies fully stocked. We even have every flavored ramen you can imagine! Shop at your delight! Hey, why is your face all red?"

Naruto stared at the girl in front of him. long navy hair, pale eyes like Neji's, porcelain looking skin like a china doll…all in all, a cute girl. However, her face was blushing red.

Plop.

She fainted.

"Oie, Hinata!" Kiba yelled as he came knelt down next to Hinata, cradling her. Naruto blinked.

"Was it something I said?"

"Hahaha!" Asuma started laughing. Naruto turned to him.

"What's so funny?"

"I like your spunk kid. You even made Hinata faint. Your hired!"

Naruto stood there in shock for a moment, but then jumped, thrusting his fist in the air.

"YOSH!"

Whoa, LATE update. Very.

Hope this was satisfying. I tried not to get to cliché. No ShikaIno moment yet, but it will come!

Give me your take, pls.
