Sitting in the mall with his other skater friends was a blonde. They sat around the huge water fountain in the middle of the mall as they held onto their skateboards and told each other jokes. Insisting the blonde to tell one of his jokes, made him pull his hood up and let it loosely hang off his head as he leaned one of his arms on his skateboard.

With each passing second, his voice grew in excitement and the finale made his friends freeze for a moment only to bust out in laughter as they toppled backwards clutching their stomachs.

The blonde smirked and looked at his mass of laughing friends while admiring his handiwork. No later, there was a tap on his shoulder and he turned around. Sensing that one of their group members was being bothered they stood up and straightened out their clothes and composed their faces.

They stood behind the blonde some leaning on him while others rested there arms around his shoulders as they looked at the raven critically. The blonde snorted at his friends' behavior and looked the raven over.

"You need something?" He asked bluntly and waited for an answer as he leaned slightly on his brunette friend's chest.

"Can I have directions?" The raven asked as he eyed the people hanging around his target. His ears picked up the word as he heard the blonde mutter to his friends 'psh, tourist' making his friends laugh and snicker. They looked back at him with smirks on their faces making the raven almost roll his eyes.

"To where?" The blonde asked and the people behind him repeated the question while getting into the raven's face. They thought it was pretty suspicious that a sleazy looking raven was asking their blonde for directions when he could have asked somebody else.

"To your heart." The raven said as he crossed his arms and smirked. The group blinked for a moment until they spread from the group in different directions saying 'ohhhhh!' while laughing. The blonde looked at the raven calculatedly. They composed themselves again and walked up to the raven.

"Why you trying to pick up our blonde, huh?" They asked obnoxiously getting in his face again. He backed up as he felt these monstrosities breathing his air.

"I don't owe you an explanation." He said directly to the tall brunette making the surrounding group members put there hands up to their mouths and say 'ohhhhh!' again. The raven smirked when he got the group's attention. The brunette narrowed his eyes at the raven and then smirked.

"We don't let our blonde go out with bastards like you." He said and turned around; his group following as he gently pushed the blonde away from the raven. The raven's eyes narrowed dangerously as he saw them taking away his target.

The blonde looked back at the weird raven and started talking animatedly with vigor to his friends.

Sorry, the blonde's not being picked up today since the summary does say that the raven sometimes fails miserably. The tall brunette in this oneshot is Kiba, okay? And when they asked "why you trying to pick up our blonde, huh?" there isn't supposed to be an "are".

naruke3176: Really? They're supposed to be cheesy and lame. I really don't think people use pick-up lines anymore. I dunno what they even use. I think it's like "wanna go out?" and then they do.

Kayvy: Thank you for your compliments.

HeartxFire: It worked! It's not that easy though, these are tiny oneshots but I try to put lots of details to make it seem a little bit longer. Thank you for your compliments. I think the reason that people don't like that plot anymore is because it's so overly used.

Illusory Impurity: Haha, thank you for the love. I need it. Yes, as I stated in my other review reply was that I know that I shouldn't be so expectant to get so many reviews since my stories aren't the best. But when people review I feel reassured that my story is good enough to make people read it. If I don't get reviews, I take the story down. Yes, even though criticism is not welcomed much with open arms, I always smile when I get it because I like when people point out my flaws. I'm an opposite person in a way. I smile when I feel pain, I smile when I see something sad on TV and I smile at criticism. It's not that I'm saying that I'm insensitive or a masochist, it's just that I react to different stuff in different ways.

gaaranojutsu02: You are the only person who pointed that out; I was wondering if nobody knew that song.
