Shikamaru groaned sitting in the living room with the pink haired female. When he had come home from work he had thought that she would have left his house by now to give him and Ino more time alone but that didn't like it would be the case since she is still in the house.
"So, have you heard from Sasuke at all" He questioned, but after he asked it he realized it is most likely a touchy subject for her.
She shook her head, she felt uncomfortable being around Shikamaru seeing how this is the same man Ino was with while she was engaged with Deidara. The pink haired female was surprised to say the less when she found out by Ino that she had been cheating on Deidara and used her as an accuse to see Shikamaru. Looking down at her hands she let out a small sigh catching Shikamaru's attention.
"Do you feel guilty about anything that you have done?" She asked him curiously.
He seemed taken back by her question as he narrowed his eyes, looking off to the side. "In the beginning I was because I didn't want to involve myself with someone else's girlfriend but Ino and I had previously dated before but we broke up once I moved here but we kept in contact with each other. Once I found out she was engaged I was hurt by the news and it made me realize that I still loved her and she still had feelings for me. I didn't want to get in the way but she was being very persistent with me and I soon gave in. I didn't know Deidara and I didn't care anymore…but since she has been here since that incident at the formal party her eyes look more and more distant. I can tell that she still loves him" He replied while smiling weakly.
Judging by what he had just told her she could tell that Shikamaru still feels bad. "You must love Ino a lot, ne?"
He smirked and nodded his head. "Yes, of course"
Sakura smiled at him but looked towards the door when she heard it open. "Finally you're home" Shikamaru smiled at her but then his expression became a concerned one. "What's wrong?"
Ino shook her head and sat down on the couch next to Sakura and looked at her sadly. "I went to go see Sasuke" She admitted to her best friend.
"You did what?" Both Shikamaru and Sakura yelled out loudly.
She winced slightly but nodded her head. "I wanted to ask him personally why he left you and for him to take you back. You looked so sad and you were crying so much…I really wanted to find him and punch his lights out for you" She explained.
"Ino you didn't have to do that…" Sakura whispered lowly while looking at her friend. She was curious as to what happened but didn't ask and figured if Ino wanted to tell her she should.
"Are you not happy with the way things have turned out?" She asked curiously.
"Of course not, I missed Sasuke-kun and I still l-love him" She cried out trying her hardest not to seem weak anymore in front of them by crying. She noticed the past few days when she did cry it made Shikamaru uncomfortable and he would leave the room awkwardly.
"I'm you best friend, ne?"
Sakura nodded her head. "Of course you are"
"And you know I would tell you anything to help you and be honest with you, ne?" Sakura once again nodded her head. Ino took in a deep breath and prepared herself for what she was getting ready to tell her. "Stop crying over Sasuke-san, I can tell you that when I talked to him he does feel really bad about hurting you and there is a small possibility that he still loves you a little bit but as far as you two getting back together…I don't think that would ever happen" She didn't want to tell her that Sasuke's heart is more focused on Hinata than on her. Knowing that would break Sakura's heart even more even thought she knew that Sakura had already known about Sasuke being in love with Hinata.
Shikamaru gazed over at Sakura watching her expression to see what she will say in response to Ino. He knew if she started crying again he was going to leave the room.
"I see…" She said slowly, her mind now wrapped on the raven haired male.

Gaara sighed to himself thinking about what had occurred almost weeks ago when he fought Shikamaru. He clearly remembers his brother pulling him to the side later on that night asking if he had some sort of feelings for Hinata for him to grow so angry and punch a male so furiously.
He merely stated that he had only did that because he hated what Shikamaru had called Hinata. After the fight he noticed Temari talking to the black haired male but he didn't know what they were discussing, he almost wanted to go over there and continue his fight but stopped himself from causing anymore trouble at his father's formal party.
"Um Gaara-kun...are you okay?"
The red head flinched at the suffix she added at the end of his name. He turned around to look at the brown haired female as he nodded his head. "I'm fine Mitsuki, you shouldn't worry yourself about me" He explained to her. He never liked being around her alone, seeing how he knows the girl has a huge crush on him. She's one of the main reason's he didn't even want to go to the formal. It was either go with her informed by his father or find himself his own date. That's how Hinata had gotten brought up into it.
"That's good, I was beginning to worry. You were being so quiet" The brown eyed girl stated while looking at him with concern.
"Like I said I'm fine. Why are you here anyways?" He asked curiously.
She blushed slightly looking down at her hands as she shifted her body from left to right. "W-Well my intentions were to come to visit Temari but she isn't around so I was thinking maybe...w-we could hang out" She asked shyly.
"I have to meet up with my band for a meeting. Sorry maybe an-"
"Really? Can I come alone, Gaara-kun? I've always wanted to meet Kabuto in person but never had gotten a chance to" She stated as she clasped her hands together waiting to hear Gaara's answer.
"No you can-"
"Sure you can come along with us Mitsuki"
Gaara turned around to see his brother Kankurou standing in the doorway with a widen smirk on his face. Gaara sent him a harden glare as a childish pout that was rarely seen on his face slowly appeared. It's not that he hated the girl, she just wasn't his type and he didn't want to hang around her making her get the wrong ideas. That's why he always tried to avoid her and he knows both his father and siblings know this, yet they always try to get the two together.
"How about we take your car, Gaara?"
"Hn, whatever" The red head mumbled as he walked past Mitsuki heading towards the door passing his brother as he frowned at him.
Once the three finally made it inside the car, the red head started up his car and backed out his driveway and drove off. The car was dead silent until Mitsuki spoke up. "So I heard Kabuto is a really nice guy but you two work with him personally, how would you say he is?" She asked quite curiously.
"He's a good guy but Gaara over here doesn't seem to like him very much" The brown haired male explained while looking over at his brother who kept his eyes on the road.
Mitsuki turned her head looking at the back of Gaara's head while sitting in the backseat. "Really? How come?" She asked.
"Because he's an asshole" Gaara spoke seriously as he pulled the car into a stop. "He lies, he uses people and the list goes on" He explained as he looked up at the apartment building. He didn't live too far away from Kabuto and Hinata's apartment building but rarely ever went to Kabuto's place unless there was a meeting with the band.
"Well this is where he lives" Kankurou stated as he opened his door. "Temari said she may come late if she comes at all"
Gaara stepped out of the car closing his door waiting for the brown haired girl to get out so he could lock the doors. "Why wouldn't she be coming?" He asked.
Kankurou smirked while looking over at his younger brother. "To finish beating the pulp out of that guy for calling Hinata a bitch of course"
A small smirk came to his face at the thought of his sister beating up Shikamaru. "Heh, that guy deserves it" He exclaimed while Mitsuki was looking mildly confused.
"What happened?"
"None of your business" Gaara said as he began walking up to the building. She pouted at how mean he was being to her, just like how he is all the time.

The silver haired male groaned to himself as he looked at himself in the mirror. There was a bruise on his cheek from the punch Shinichi gave him. As soon as he came back into his apartment Kin had asked what happened, he had told her what happened but didn't go into details of the real meaning. He didn't want Kin to know that he has been cheating on her with anyone, knowing that they girl has a temper.
"Hey, I was thinking maybe we can go out tonight. We never really hang out anymore like a real couple..." The long black haired woman asked as she wrapped her arms around Kabuto's shoulders, pressing her cheek on his.
"No we can't tonight. The band is coming over to discuss future plans for our up coming album" He explained.
Knock Knock
"As of matter of fact, that's them" He stood up from his seat, turning around to see Kin looking at him with a pout on her face. He smirks leaning down towards her level as he placed a soft kiss on her lips. "Don't be sad, I'll see what we can do once they leave" He said.
She blushed and nodded her head, watching him as he walked towards the door and opened it. He frowned slightly while looking at Gaara as the red headed male glared harshly at him.
Kankurou cleared his throat catching the attention of Kabuto. "Ah, come in. Where is Temari?" He asked while arching his eyebrow up at the girl was with the two brothers.
"She's going to go beat someone up after Gaara nearly beat the guy to death" He snickered. Kin and Kabuto's eyes nearly popped out of the heads as the silver haired male closed his door gaping at Gaara.
"What happened?"
"Some jerk called Hinata a bitch and Gaara flipped and nearly beat the guy to death"
"You beat up some guy all for a girl?" Kin's voice quickly came in as she looked at him with sparkles in her eyes. "That's so cute!" She squealed.
Mitsuki looked down at the floor, not all to satisfied to hear why he had really beat up the guy. Mitsuki has been in love with Gaara ever since they were kids but he would always ignore her and for her to hear that Gaara defended another girl when he never defends her at all...hurts her.
"You actually defended a girl you hate?" Kabuto smirked darkly.
Gaara shrugged his shoulders. "Say, how did you get that bruise?" He asked quickly changing the subject making him not be the certain of attention. Kabuto frowned as his hand rose up to touch his cheek.
"That green haired kid in that band and I got into a little disagreement and he decked me" He replied with a light chuckle. "I think he's still next door..." He said in an unsure tone.
Gaara narrowed his eyes and began wondering what really happened but before they could discuss it any further he heard his brother speak. "Uh not to sound like I'm rushing anything or anything but we need to discuss about the upcoming album"
Kabuto and Gaara nodded they're heads while Kin and Mitsuki glanced at over at each other. "Well I suppose since we're the only girls here how about we go into the kitchen and fix something to eat and let these boys talk business" Kin said with a cheery smile on her face. The brown haired girl nodded as her black eyes gazed over at Gaara before slowly looking away.
Once they left the room Kabuto looked over at Gaara with narrowed eyes. "Did you tell Hinata about Kin?"
The red haired male smirked and shrugged his shoulders. "Hm, maybe...maybe not" He now knew the cause behind the punch and that it had something to do with Hinata. He sighed focusing his attention to his brother. "Let's just talk about the band. I didn't come here to argue" He explained while walking past Kabuto heading towards the couch to sit down.

"So you mean to tell me you and Kabuto...had s-sex?" Naruto stumbled on the word sex. He didn't want to know that his sunshine had sex with that jerk. She's just too innocent and shy for that sort of thing. He frowned slightly watching as both Sasuke and Shinichi nodded they're heads while the female Hyuga looked embarrassed.
"And worst of he wants to still keep doing it with Hinata. He pissed me off so badly that I had to punch him" Shinichi frowned.
Naruto rolled his eyes. "If anything you probably have had more sex than anyone, Shin" The green haired male blushed deeply when he noticed the stares he was getting from Sasuke and Hinata.
"Shut up!" He pouted.
"Well it's true" The blonde mumbled. He knew that Shinichi; despite his age, has had a lot of sex with tons of different girls rather they be a few years younger than him, same age or even older women. Shaking his head, his blue eyes gazed over at Hinata looking at her rather seriously. "Don't ever give in to him again, sunshine. You don't need to be thinking about sex or having it either"
"What are you, her father? She's old enough to have sex if she wants it. Just not with Kabuto" Sasuke scowled at his best friend.
Naruto nodded his head as he turned his head looking back over at Shinichi who was shoving food into his mouth. He smiled to himself and turned his head when he heard a noise behind him. "Oh hey look who is awake" Naruto grinned widely.
Jugo frowned as he lowered his eyes down on the table full of food. "How come no one woke me up?" He asked in a dry tone, while bringing his hand up to rub his eyes.
"I wanted to but sunshine said you don't like to be disturbed" Shinichi explained while looking up at the rather tall male.
The orange haired male turned his head over to look at Hinata as a soft smile appeared on his face. "Thanks, so did anyone save me anything?" He asked while taking a seat down next to Naruto. He eyes peered around at the table noticing that there was one plate with food already placed on it.
"Is this plate mine?" He asked curiously.
"Y-Yes, I made that one for you Jugo-kun" Hinata voiced while smiling at her brother like figure.
He smiled grabbing the plate, placing it in front of him muttering a low 'thanks for the meal' before eating his food. "So anything happened while I was sleep?" He asked, his eyes gazed around the table noticing how everyone was silent shifting in they're seats nervously.
Hinata knew if Jugo knew what happened he would waste no time going next door to beat the living day lights out of Kabuto. And seeing how big Jugo is, he is almost positive that he would send the silver haired male to the hospital.
"Um...nothing much" She explained.
Jugo eyed her and then took a glance at Naruto, Shinichi and Sasuke noticing how they wouldn't look up to meet his gaze and instead focused they're attention on they're empty plates. "Hm, something isn't very settling to me. But I'm going to assume no one is telling me anything to stop me from acting on whatever it is that's not being said" Jugo spoke as he continue eating. Everyone remained quiet after that until Naruto's phone began ringing.
"Ah, it's Kiba" He said, while answering his phone putting it on speaker. "Hey, what's up?" The blonde grinned widely.
"Nothing really. Hey is Shin with you?"
"Yeah, he's sitting right here, why?"
"Dude, tell him to stop leaving his condoms all out on the open. My mom and sis came by today and my sister found a condom somewhere on the floor"
Everyone at the table paled while Shinichi chuckled nervously. "U-Um...Kiba, heh. I'm over Sunshine's house and you're on speaker" Naruto explained as his face slowly began to change back to it's normal color.
"...Dude why didn't you tell me that in the first place? And Shin when you come home you know what to do!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah I'll do it when I get home" Shinichi sighed while leaning back into his seat rocking back and fourth.
"Hey listen I have to go, Kakashi called and he wants me o drop off some medicine for him since he's too sick to get out of bed. I'll try to stop by later to see you guys"
Naruto then closed his phone once Kiba hung up and turned his head towards Shinichi. "Come on, let's go we have to meet up with Yasu for a quick meeting about the record label. Since Kiba is helping Kakashi, you're coming with me" He explained while standing up from his seat.
"Awe, but I wanted to stay longer with sunshine" Shinichi whined as he quickly made his way over towards the younger girl wrapping his arms around her hugging her tightly while crying.
Hinata giggled at the young teen as she patted the top of his head. "I'll see you again soon Shin-chan"
"B-But...I didn't want to leave yet" He pouted.
"Come on, we have to be there on time. So cut the act Shin, you'll see her later" The blonde sighed.
"Fine!" The green haired male pouted and let go of Hinata standing up from his seat looking back at Jugo and Sasuke. "See you guys later" He groaned childishly while Jugo and Sasuke smirked waving bye to the sulking male. Once the two left the house Jugo glanced over at Hinata.
"I'm going to go pick up Suigetsu from the airport today. He called me last night saying he wanted to see us"
"Ah Suigetsu? I haven't seen in nearly eight years" Sasuke spoke while looking over at Jugo with a smirk on his face, thinking about the white bluish haired male.
Hinata turned her head looking over at Sasuke with widened eyes. "You know Suigetsu-kun?" She asked in a surprised tone.
The male Uchiha nodded his head. "Yeah, Naruto, Jugo, Suigetsu and I all went to the same high school together. Naruto and Suigetsu had never gotten along and- wait how do you know him?" Sasuke asked while arching his eyebrow up at Hinata.
"Suigetsu is Hinata's other bodyguard. He wasn't originally but decided he wanted to protect Hinata along with me" He didn't tell Sasuke the real reason why Suigetsu wanted to be Hinata's bodyguard seeing how Suigetsu is another guy who held a crush on the Hyuga.
"Ah, I see. You're leaving now?" Sasuke asked.
Jugo nodded his head as he stood up from his seat taking his plate to the sink. "Yeah, I don't want to be late knowing Suigetsu will throw a fit if I am late" He explained while lifting his hand up to his orange hair rubbing it slightly.
Sasuke smirked and nodded his head. "Jugo-kun you don't have to worry about washing the dishes, I'll do it" She smiled brightly at him.
"Ok, we'll I'll see you guys later" He smiled as he walked out of the kitchen and shortly after out of the apartment, leaving just Hinata and Sasuke alone.
His black coal eyes gazed over at her smiling softly at her, he loved her so much and wanted to be able to finally confess his feelings to her but didn't know if it was the right time to do so. He stood up from his seat and walked out of the kitchen motioning her to follow him. The female looked slightly confused but stood up and pushed in her chair to follow him.
When she made it into the living room she noticed him sitting on the couch patting down the sit next to him. She nodded her head walking over towards him as she sat down next to him. She looked into his eyes noticing a look she couldn't place but before she could even comment on it he spoke.
"Hinata...I have something I need to tell you" He spoke in a serious tone as a blush appeared on his cheeks.
