TheElly929: . . . Well guys, I'm doing the disclaimer this week. It's because, well, school started on the 2nd, and I decided to kick it off by surprising my friends. So . . . anyway, I don't own Naruto. If I did, then I would have had Kushina Uzumaki alive and in the village. Also, Naruto and Hinata would have been married.

And now, for the well-waited Chapter 7 (sort of . . .).


Hinata found herself in the hospital again. But instead of being in the same room as Lee, she found her self in the same room as Naruto. She blushed and tried to turn on her side, but there was something preventing her from doing that: it was Naruto's hand. She started to cry. Naruto woke up to the sobbing.

"What's wrong?" asked Naruto.

"I-I'm, I'm sorry, Naruto-kun!" she sobbed. "I'm sorry I didn't release you from the genjutsu! I was just too scared!" She felt herself being pulled towards Naruto, but they ended up on the ground (Ouch). That caused Hinata to cry even more.

"Did I do anything wrong besides not protecting you?" asked Naruto. Hinata shook her head. "Then what is it?" That was when she started to bawl again.

"Sasuke. Raped. Me!" she hiccupped.

"He did WHAT?" he screamed. He used his strength to put Hinata back on the bed and he stood up, ignoring the pain in his legs. She cried even more and Naruto went to comfort her. All the other times that Naruto comforted her she either fainted or didn't do anything at all and blushed. But in this case, she did neither. She moved out of the way and cried.

"You don't understand," said Hinata.

"You're right, I don't," said Naruto apathetically (my new favorite word). "But what I do understand is that you need help. And I know who will help you with that."

"WH-who is it?" she sniffed.

"Mayuri Tsutomi," he said, looking outside in the direction of Mayuri's house.


Mayuri Tsutomi, as you know, is a 14 year old Chuunin who is gifted in medical ninjutsu. She has just finished creating and studying the "Bad Memories Syndrome" or BMS (if there is something like these then two words: BITE ME!). She has developed a jutsu to remove the memories and a way to remove cursed seals or a cursed seal's entrance point (in this case, entrance point because of where Orochimaru bit Sasuke).

She woke up to the sky which was now cloudy and gray, and her mother yelling at her (A/N: I usually wake up to that).

"MAYU-CHAN!" screamed Mayuri's mother, Saki.

"Coming, mother!" screamed back Mayuri. She went to her bathroom and washed up. She was dressed in a white polo shirt and army green capris. She put her red hair in a ponytail and went downstairs to her very loud and annoying mother.

"Mayu-chan," said Saki. "Today is your big day."

"Why is that?" she asked in a delirious voice (since she just woke up).

"Today, Shizune-san and Tsunade-sama said that the medical corps wants to try out your jutsu."

"Which one?"

"The one with the memory thing of course! Now hurry up and eat, you'll need the energy to perform it." Her mother gave her a plate of pancakes and a glass of orange juice. When she finished, she went back to her room to pack up her tools (chakra encoded surgery ink, scrolls, syringes, doctor's masks, etc.) and walked out of her house. Her house was a 5-minute walk from the hospital.


-And now back to the Uchihas . . .-

Sakura was tending to Sasuke's wounds. So far, he was gaining process. His abdomen was fully healed and the areas that Neji hit were healing at a quick pace as well. The only problem was that Sasuke was legally blind (poor guy, YEAH RIGHT!). It was either because of the constant use of the Mangekyo Sharingan that caused this or the straining of his eyes to focus the Sharingan itself. In Sasuke's case, it's both.

"Sasuke," said Sakura. "You know that if you keep on using your Mangekyo Sharingan, you're going to be blind for real?"

"Yeah," said Sasuke.

"I can try healing the minor things in your eyes," said Sakura. "But for the major damage, you would need surgery."

"I'll do whatever it takes to see you again," said Sasuke. He could barely see this, but Sakura was blushing.

"Oh, stop it with the lovey dovey thing," said Neji.

"You would be the same way if Tenten was here," said Sakura. This caused Neji to grunt and turn away. On his pale (and not forgetting to mention smexy) face was a small, but faint, blush.

"Don't pay too much attention to Neji-san, Sasuke-kun," whispered Sakura. "He's going to get married to Tenten in a few more months."

Neji rolled his eyes and got up to walk away.

"Remember this, Sakura-san," said Neji. "He is going to be taken into custody. And whatever you do, he will be punished."

"I know," said Sakura. "But I will be with him every step of the way. I don't care if he's an S-class criminal or not, I will be with him every step of the way."

"YOU FOOL!" yelled Neji, who was obviously pissed off. "Didn't you see what he did to Hinata-sama?"

"I SAW! I KNOW!" yelled back Sakura. "That is why I am a part of the medical corps. Besides, I have to take him to the hospital anyway." She grabbed Sasuke by the wrist. "And you're coming with me, Hyuuga."

"Why should I?" asked Neji, coldly.

"Because, I will tell Tenten about this and she will have you whipped," said Sakura. Neji cringed for once in his life. It is because The Hyuuga Neji is scared of his fiancée who has no last name, Tenten. He was shaking in his man skirt (Lol, man skirt).

"O-okay," stuttered Neji. "But just this once."

"Come on Sasuke, let's get you dressed," Sakura said, partially talking to him like a child.

"Not unless you bathe me," said Sasuke. This caused her to blush Hinata style.

"Okay," she said turning the same color as her hair. "But only if you hurry up."

"Alright," he said smirking his dark smirk (oh noes, not the dark one). It was more along the lines of "seductive" than "evil".


-Meanwhile, back with our main characters . . . –

Naruto was holding Hinata really close to him as she cried into his (ahem) well-toned chest. He ran his fingers through her long, soft hair.

"Hinata," said Naruto. "Don't cry, please. You're going to be in good hands, once Mayuri gets here."

"Are you sure?" hiccupped Hinata.

"She did save your life once, and she can do it again," he replied. He kissed her on the forehead, but he missed since she picked her head up. They ended up in lip lock (I think I've been reading too many teen romance novels, i.e. The Confessions of Georgia Nicholson series). But that moment was ruined by Tsunade ramming into the room with Tonton sniffing at the ground. They looked at Tsunade and started to blush.

"Just what in Kami-sama's name were you two doing?" boomed Tsunade. This yell even scared Tonton, the preceding 5th Hokage's pig.

"OINK!" squealed Tonton.

"Oh, sorry Tonton," said Tsunade picking up the pig. "Now where was I? Oh yes. Just what in Kami-sama's name were you two doing?!"

"Nothing," said Naruto and Hinata who were blushing even redder.

"Then why are you blushing?" she asked. Both of them were holding on to each other, shaking. "Don't worry so much. I was just kidding. I was young too. Have yourselves display public affection."

"Phew," they both said.

"It was about time that you get somebody, Naruto," said Tsunade. "You are of marrying age and you are the 6th Hokage. But whatever. Hinata, Mayuri is ready for you."

"Alright," said Hinata. She gave Naruto a hug and they nuzzled their noses together (LION KING STYLE!). Hinata left the room. Tsunade walked into the room and ordered Naruto to lie down on his stomach.

"I have to apply cream to your back," said Tsunade. I was a special cream created to relieve pain for Jinchuuriki (especially since Naruto is the last Jinchuuriki alive or still with their bijuu).

Naruto was both enjoying this (ewwww) and was uncomfortable. He was enjoying it because he never really had anyone to put cream on his back, since he didn't have any parent to do that. He was uncomfortable because, well, imagine a 61-year-old woman who is a grandmother figure to you and is massaging with cream. Wouldn't you be creeped out?

"Yes," said Naruto, who broke the fourth wall.

"HEY!" said Tsunade. "IT'S NOT MY FAULT I DON'T LOOK MY AGE!"

"Actually, it kind of is," said the narrator.

"Dammit," said Tsunade. She vigorously applied the cream on Naruto's back.

"Okay, baachan," said Naruto. "You're really hurting my insides."

"Do you want me to break 6 ribs, both of your arms and legs and damage some internal organs? (See the Shippuuden episode when Kakashi thinks back to when he was given the seal by Jiraiya and also the episode when Yamato tells Naruto not to peak at the women's bath)?" asked Tsunade.

Naruto knew that this happened to Ero-Sennin so he used her weakness against her.

"Did you like Ero-Sennin?" he asked.

Tsunade stopped and gave him the "I'm seriously gonna kill you" face.

"Admit it, baachan," said Naruto. "Although he got on your nerves, you liked the guy."

"Okay, that's it," said Tsunade. She did the "one finger" taunt and hit Naruto on the back. He cringed in pain.

"OOOOWWWWWW!" he screamed. "At least you got rid of the pain in my back."

"Now would you shut up about Jiraiya?" asked Tsunade.

"Yes," said Naruto. "I will stop talking about Ero-Sennin.


-Somewhere in the Heavens . . .-

Jiraiya sneezed for some odd reason.

"Hey!" said Jiraiya. "I thought that people aren't supposed to talk about you when you are in the heavens."

"That's where you are wrong," said Hiruzen Sarutobi, the deceased Third Hokage.

"Sarutobi-sensei?" said Jiraiya.

"Full to the flesh, I mean spirit," replied the Third Hokage.

"So, what are you going to do, sensei?" asked Ero-Sennin. "HEY DON'T CALL ME THAT!!" he shouted at the narrator.

"Who's writing and typing this stuff?" asked the narrator.

"You are," said Jiraiya.

"I'm going to get some sake," said the Third. "Wanna come?"

"Boy do I ever!" exclaimed Jiraiya.


Tsunade ran a few tests on Naruto. Some of them were to see if he was in good condition to be released.

"The Kyuubi's chakra could do wondrous things," said Tsunade. "It's only been two days since you've been here. Just take it easy on yourself, got it?"

"Yes," said Naruto.

"Stay here and rest for a little while," said Tsunade. As she turned to leave, Naruto stopped here.

"Tsunade-sama?" said Naruto.

"Hmm?" said Tsunade.

"What is the percentage of the jutsu working?"

Tsunade turned to face Naruto. Tonton watched as Tsunade made her transition. From the looks of it, she wasn't very happy.

"Well," said Tsunade. "Mayuri said that on a human, the possibility of success is 30/70, where 70 is failure."

"WHAT?" Naruto said, shocked.

"Also," continued Tsunade. "Since this is a newly created jutsu, the chances are even slimmer; about 5/95."

Naruto remained quiet. He was shaking and looked as if he was about to cry, but he couldn't. He turned that frown upside down.

"I believe that it would work," said Naruto. "Hinata is a very strong kunoichi. Hell, I'd even say she's stronger than Sakura. But I do know this."

"What is it, Naruto?" the Godaime asked.

"She's got guts and love by her side," said Naruto. Tsunade walked over to him and ruffled his hair, as if he was a twelve year old boy again.

"That's the spirit, Naruto," said Tsunade. "I'll see you on your birthday, then." (Aww, so motherly T.T.)

"Thanks, Tsunade-sama," said Naruto. And with that, the legendary kunoichi walked off.


Hinata was in the psychiatric/psychological ward of the hospital. Mayuri was checking to see if she was in any condition to do this "operation".

"So far, so good," said Mayuri. "Don't worry, Hinata-san, you will be alright."

"What is the percentage of success?" asked the Hyuuga heiress.

Mayuri put her head down. She sighed and gave her the news.

"This is a 30/70 chance of success," said Mayuri. "The 30 percent is the chance of success, while the 70 percent is failure. However . . ." Mayuri sighed.

"What's wrong?" asked Hinata.

Mayuri sighed again. "However since this is a newly developed jutsu and I did not try it on humans yet, it is a 95/5 chance; a 5 percent chance of success."

"What happens if it fails?" asked Hinata.

"You'll . . . you'll die," said Mayuri. Hinata was quivering in fear. She wanted to cry; the look was on her face, but no tears were coming out. She bit her lip until she drew blood. Mayuri wiped the blood away from Hinata's lip with her thumb and used the blood to write something on Hinata's forehead. It was the kanji for "Memory". There was other figure written in katakana around "Memory" which said: "Remove only memories of being raped."

"The rest of the squad should be here in a few minutes," said Mayuri. "I'll see if Sakura-sensei arrived yet so that I can inform her on what is being done today. You stay here, okay?"

"I will," said Hinata.

"Make sure you lay on your back," said Mayuri. "If you don't, then you'll ruin the seal."

"Alright," said Hinata. When Mayuri left the room, Hinata lied down on her back and stared at the ceiling, thanking the heavens that she was alive.


Sakura, Neji, and Sasuke arrived at the hospital. Sasuke and Sakura were taken to the ophthalmology ward to set up a diagnosis and possibly a surgery. After an hour of arguing with Sakura (which by the way was a simple one, just like a married couple), Sasuke finally agreed to have the surgery right then and there. Sasuke was taken to the operating room while Neji stuck around, waiting for Sakura.

"Sakura-san," said Neji. "Are you going to see Hinata-sama now?"

"Yes," said Sakura. "We are going to do the operation in 5 minutes."

"Alright," said Neji in his usual monotone. "Let me know if she is alright when you are done." He turned to leave.

"Where are you going?" asked Sakura.

"I am going home," said Neji. "I bet that Hiashi-sama will be angered at Sasuke that he might kill him." (A/N: Spoiler: He's mad, but he's suppressing it.)

"Well tell him not to kill him," said Sakura. "His arthritis is going to act up again and I don't want to deal with too many patients in a whole week."

"I will tell him that," said Neji, bowing to Sakura. "Have a good day, Sakura-san."

"You too, Neji-san," said Sakura, bowing to Neji. Neji teleported away and Sakura made her way to the psychiatric/psychological ward. Mayuri was there to bring her to the advanced operating room. There were three other medical ninja there. They were Shizune, Hiro (Mayuri's twin brother) and an unknown male medical Nin.

"Sakura-san, you're just in time," said Mayuri. "Are you going to see Hinata-sama now?"

"Yes," said Sakura. "Could you bring Hinata-san in please?""Alright," said Sakura. She went to the room and got Hinata into the operating room. Then they had to put her to sleep, since if she were to be awake, great pain would come across her. They put her in the center of the circle, placing katakana on her legs and arms (basically, she was lying down in a star formation). Then, they sat at the outer edge of the circle. Mayuri was at the zero degree mark while the others were scattered at various points. Basically, the circle was divided into fifths. Then, they did so many hand signs, that this jutsu has more hand signs that Water Dragon Jutsu. The room glowed green. In about two hours, the jutsu was complete. They picked up Hinata and placed her in the recovery room.


Hinata had a strange feeling. Well, actually two. She woke up to a huge headache and someone at her small hand. Well, duh, readers, it's Naruto! His eyes weren't shining with the familiar happiness. They were dim and dead. The whites of his eyes were red and it looked like he was there for a few hours. It was morning when she had her surgery. Now it was past 2 o'clock. He wasn't bandaged up either. He smelled like a mix of orange and musk (lol musk).

"It looks like you're awake," said Naruto. "I'll go and get Tsunade-baachan or Shizune-neechan." As he got up to leave, Hinata grabbed his hand.

"Don't go Na-Naruto-kun," said Hinata. "P-Please stay a little l-longer." She was satisfied to see that Naruto was back in the chair that he sat in.

"Do you remember anything?" he asked.

"Well," she started. "I do remember I was kidnapped and was locked up. And Tenten-chan came to save me. That's about it."

'Wow,' thought Naruto 'It looks like it worked. Thanks, Mayuri-chan.' Just as his thoughts ended, the young Chuunin happened to appear.

"I see that you've finally woke up," said Mayuri. "How do you feel?"

"Okay," replied Hinata. "I feel like there's nothing missing at all."

'Great, it worked,' thought Mayuri with a smile. "I'm glad to hear that you are okay." She turned her attention to Naruto.

"Naruto-sama," she said. "May I talk with you?"

"No problem," he said to Mayuri. "I'll be right back." Both of them left the room and went to the hallway.

"Do you know why I called you here?" asked Mayuri.

"Not really," said Naruto.

"I called you out here to describe the punishment of Sasuke and what was done with the memory," said Mayuri. "The memory has been sealed inside of a secured scroll. It will be destroyed whenever you want it to be."

"How about today?" asked Naruto.

"I'll make arrangements," she replied. "Now for the Sasuke business. He recently came to the hospital to repair his optical nerve. So far, he is doing a year to 18 months of community service starting the 9th. Do you have any suggestions for more punishments?"

"Yes I do," said Naruto. "Community service is up to two years and he shall not go on missions, nor move up in the ranks for three years. He shall be kept under the eye of either ANBU Black Ops or someone worthy enough to supervise him for two years."

Mayuri wrote this down. "There're two more things that I want for him to do," said Naruto.

"What are they?" said Mayuri. The camera panned out of this scene and looked at a door for about a good 45 seconds, then returned to Naruto and Mayuri.

"When is he going to be released?" asked Naruto.

"On the 9th," said Mayuri.

"Good," he said. "Is he going to be there to celebrate my party?"

"Yes," she said. "In fact, it is part of his community service."

"Alright then," said Naruto, who was somewhat disappointed. "I'll see you then?"

"Yes, Hokage-sama," said Mayuri. She walked off to continue her rounds. Naruto returned to Hinata's recovery room and talked to her. Little did they know Ino was spying on them.

"Excellent," she said to herself. "I know the perfect gift that Hinata should give to Naruto." She chortled and walked away from the scene. On her way out of the hospital, she bumped into a Renji Abarai look alike except with blood, but he was intact. She looked up to see that it was her husband-to-be, Shikamaru.

"Sh-Shika-Kun?" she said blinking her tears out. "SHIKA-KUN!" She squealed like a little girl and ran to his arms. Her squealing ended when she felt soft, warm lips to hers.

"How troublesome, Ino-chan," said Shikamaru. "It's nice to see you, too, but don't scream in public." He gave her another kiss and she practically melted.

"Shika-kun," said Ino. "I have to tell you that you have to help us out at the party on the 10th."

"What. A. Pain," groaned Shikamaru. "Does this have to deal with extended manual labor?"

"Not sure," said Ino. "Kurenai didn't say. Let's go home so that I can treat you to lunch."

"Before we do that, I'm going to submit my mission report," said Shikamaru.

"Okay," she said. So the two members of Team 10 walked off hand in hand.


-Now back to Sasuke . . .-

Sasuke's operation ended an hour ago and he happened to wake up. But the problem was that he could barely see a thing.

"Oh, you're awake!" said Sakura. Just like back in the old days, Sakura hugged Sasuke. But this time, he actually hugged back. He finally felt how warm Sakura really was. He brought her closer to him and tried to give her a kiss, but instead of on the lips, it was at her cheek.

"Thanks, Sakura," said Sasuke. "It Hinata-san alright?"

"I heard from the creator of the jutsu that she just woke up," said Sakura. "She's doing well."

"I'm glad to hear it," said Sasuke. "Now, when can I see again?"

"In a few hours," said Sakura. She picked up a strawberry. "Open your mouth." He did just that and bit out of the fruit. She did the same with a few sliced tomatoes and a slicked apple (red food these days . . .). But the moment was ruined when Naruto opened the door with a bang.

"TEME!" screamed Naruto. "I'M GOING TO (bleeping) KILL YOU!" This was now a Sakura-punches-Naruto-in-the-face moment. He had a comical bump on his head and Sasuke snickered.

"Dobe," said Sasuke. "You're the same as always."

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" screamed Naruto, but he was blocked by Sakura.

"NARUTO!" she yelled, her eyes only white circles. "Is that the way you greet an old friend? Just because you're smarter, faster, and not forgetting to mention hotter than when we were kids does not mean that you changed!"

"At least she admitted that I'm hot," said Naruto, folding his arms in satisfaction. Sasuke rolled his eyes. Sakura was still simmering and Kakashi happened to appear out of the random.

"Hey there," said Kakashi. "Looks like we're going back to good old times!"

"NO WE'RE NOT!" yelled Naruto and Sakura in unison. Sasuke grunted at this statement.

"Yup, the same as always," said Kakashi. "Oh, hello there Sasuke. It's nice to see you again."

"Nice to see you again too, Kakashi," said Sasuke in his old monotone.

"Still have your attitude, eh Sasuke?" asked Kakashi.

"Still have that mask on your face?" Sasuke shot back.

"Ah, touché," said Kakashi. "Well, you won't be able to see my face until the bell test. So I'll see you guys on the 10th or even later than that." Then he walked out of the room.

"What bell test?" asked Sasuke.

"Beats me," replied Naruto. Sakura happened to fry an egg on her head since that was how hot here temper made her. She punched Naruto.

"Are you still fighting?" asked Sasuke. "If you are, I'd suggest that you stop before Naruto is hospitalized again."

"Hey!" shouted Naruto. "You were the one who hospitalized me in the first place! I'm still Hokage anyway."

"Wow," said Sasuke in a mocking voice. "I'd never thought that the dobe would actually make it that far!"

"Well, I've never thought that the teme would return to rape my girlfriend!" shot back Naruto.

"Will you both STOP IT?!" yelled Sakura.

"Okay," they both said.

"Now if you'll excuse me," said Sakura. "I have things to attend to with my friends."

"Bye, Sakura-chan," they both said. Naruto was shocked at Sasuke's response.

"Since when do you call her Sakura-chan?" asked Naruto.

"I'll tell you when the time comes," said Sasuke. "Shouldn't you get going?"

"Shouldn't you be resting?" asked Naruto.

"Don't feel like it," answered Sasuke. "Besides, I have a lot of catching up to do. Especially with you. Since when did you give up on Sakura?"

"When I first became a Jounin," said Naruto in an irritated tone. "When did you realize that you loved her?"

"When I got pissed off with this girl trying to throw herself onto me in the Akatsuki," said Sasuke. "She even tried to rape me in my sleep." This cause Naruto to laugh out loud. Sasuke grabbed him by the collar and shook him.

"HEY!" shouted Sasuke. "That's NOT funny!"

"It is," said Naruto. "At least you didn't have fan girls chase you fown trying to take your clothes off."

"That happened to you too?"

"Yes, and it's still happening today. I had to use Shadow Clones just to diverse them." Sasuke was interested in this conversation (for once).

"When did they start chasing you?" asked the last survivor."

"When they realized that I was sexy and you had no hope of returning to the village," replied Naruto. "That was when I was 18, first teaching my Genin team . . . Wait a second, I should be pounding you!"

And so, the blond wonder punched 3/8 of the living daylights out of the former traitor. One of the nurses happened to appear just in time to remove the Hokage from the room. The guy just so happened to stalk out of the hospital and went to his favorite place on Earth: Ichiraku's This was where we saw how the Uzumaki devoured about 13 bowls of ramen (wonder where it all goes) . . .


-With Sakura, Ino, and Tenten . . .-

Ino happened to meet up with Sakura at the café called "Kumo no Kyuu" (a rough translation of Cloud Nine, but work with me people). This was a lunch and passionate making out with her lazy and not to forget to mention nearly as hot as Naruto, Shikamaru. Tenten came from the shop that her father, Shin, runs. We all know where Sakura came from besides the hospital; she went to the dumpling shop. But returning to the story, Sakura, Ino, and Tenten ordered coffee for themselves. They engaged in conversation about their innocent friend, Hinata.

"So," said Ino. "Do you have the location down for the party, Ten-chan?"

"Yup," said Tenten. "Plus we're gonna hear Neji-kun's voice at the party. I'm on the decorations squad with you two. Did you get the colors down, Sakura.

"Hai," said Sakura. "So far, we've go orange, blue, and black. The other things that we need are seating arrangements and the gifts. What did you get him Ino?"

"An expensive ramen bowl from the finest crafters of china," said Ino. "What about you, Sakura.

"A 12-foot poster of Hinata on the day that we went swimming," said Sakura.


-Flashback-

Hinata had a baggy T-shirt and short on. She along with the rest of the Konoha 11 was swimming on one of the hottest days of the year. Sakura, Ino, and Tenten were already splashing water at the nearby boys and at Shino, who was observing a water bug. She was about to go to a tree and sit in the shade when all of a sudden, she saw a shaggy haired man shadowing her. It was none other than Kiba Inuzuka.

"Hinata-chan, why aren't you in the water?" he asked.

"I-I, well, I d-don't f-feel like its r-right for me to d-do t-that," she stuttered.

"Oh well," he said, returning to race Naruto. Naruto was taunting Kiba and Hinata was admiring his form from a distance. For one thing, his lemon blond hair flopped over his eyes making him look sexier than before. His abs glistened in the water and his eyes shone brighter than any cloudless sky (if possible).

She also noticed that her three best friends weren't there. She turned around and saw that Tenten, Sakura, and Ino were standing over her, with their arms folded.

"Hinata," said Tenten. "Take it off."

"I-I can't," said Hinata.

"Why?" asked Sakura.

"B-B-Because," she started.

"Let me guess," said Ino. "Because of Naruto, right?" Hinata nodded her head.

"Trust us," Ino said. If you go into the lake, you're gonna make him really happy." Ino was adjusting the strap of her sky blue bikini top. Tenten was checking for a wedgie warning in her green and white bikini shorts. Sakura did a pleading face (i.e. puppy dog face) while she was standing on one leg looking like a flamingo (well she did look like a flamingo because she wore a bikini in various shades of pink).

"O-Okay," Hinata finally said. She removed her T-shirt and shorts. The other three girls were shocked to see what Hinata was wearing. Besides, let me get to the point.

Hinata was wearing a lavender bikini top with white flowers decorated on it. There was a (huge) hint of cleavage. The bikini bottom (lol SpongeBob reference) was in the same fashion, except for the fact that it was lilac. As always, she looked like a classic goddess.

"Could I take a picture please?" asked Sakura. She got her camera (from Kami-sama knows where) and took a picture. That picture was of Hinata blushing with her head halfway down and a finger to her lip. Her right arm was behind her back and her legs were lined up one behind the other. It was cute, but more along the lines of uncomfortable cute.


"I remember that day," said Tenten. "Remember what happened next?"

"Oh yeah," said Sakura.

"That was a classic," said Ino.


The four girls returned to the lake. Rock Lee was saying something about youth when he did a cannonball at the dock. Neji rolled his eyes and did a perfect dive (score one for the prodigy). Shikamaru was sleeping in the water, only to be interrupted by Choji going Human Boulder Mode and a huge wave hit the lazy Renji-look-alike.

Shino was still observing the water bug. Kiba and Naruto were yelling at each other about the race. When all seven of the boys turned around, it was a domino effect of nose bleeds (yes, even Neji and Shino since Shino was her teammate, and Neji is her cousin). Out of all the boys, Naruto had the largest because Hinata was really pretty and he had not seen her like that before.


The trio started laughing. They sipped at their coffee only to be laughing it out through their noses (ewwww).

"That day was FUN!" snickered Ino.

"Yup it was," agreed Sakura. "What are you going to give him, Tenten?"

"Only the best thing that you can give a man," said Tenten. "Besides ramen to Naruto, it's gardening stuff."

"Wow," said Ino. "That was really plain."

"Okay, plan B," said Tenten. "His favorite band NICO Touches the Walls coming to perform!" (A/N: I LOVE that band, especially their song "Broken Youth.)

"Now that's more like it," said Ino. Sakura nodded her head in agreement.

"Now all we need to know is what Hinata is going to give him," said Sakura.

"I know one of them," said Tenten/ "The most precious gift to all girls: her virginity." (Cue Doom music . . .)

"Oh," said Ino.

"My," said Sakura.

"KAMI-SAMA!" they exclaimed at the same time.

"We also need to convince her to do this," said Sakura.

"And I think I have an idea," said Ino.


-cliffhanger . . .-

FINALLY! Mission complete! Sorry about the month wait. You know how school is. But you guys know what to do: read and review.

I have a question that I need to be answered so that Chapter 8 can be posted ASAP: Should Hinata dress up as casual, but sexy or sexy all the way through. PLEASE TELL ME THE OUTFIT SINCE I HAVE NO FASHION SENSE!

Stay tuned for Chapter 8: Pre-Birthday Party Torture.
