Chapter Seven: Revelations
"Hi."
"Hey."
"So how was your weekend?"
"Ahhh, same as usual. Work, ramen, pranks. Fun stuff like that."
"Oh, LOTS of fun."
Instinctively, Naruto and Sakura walked hand-in-hand on their way to school. It's funny how they were so uncomfortable and awkward at first; now, holding hands was such a normal and natural thing to do. And they haven't even been pretend dating for a week yet!
In the back of their minds (even though neither of them would admit it), they felt strongly connected to each other.
"Aw, shit." Naruto ceased walking.
"What? What happened? Did you lose something? Should we turn back?" Sakura panicked. When Naruto was in distress, so was she.
And that thought freaked her out a bit.
Naruto stood there silently, befuddled at her reaction. "Uh, no, shit. I literally stepped in it." He picked up his shoe to show her he actually stepped in dog droppings. The astonished look on his face couldn't be more evident; did Sakura actually...
care about him?
"Oh." Sakura flushed sheepishly. She tugged his hand, indicating him to keep walking.
Naruto shook those insane thoughts away. It was probably a fluke. It's crazy to think Sakura Haruno, the dictator and beauty queen of Konoha High, cared about someone like him...at least in 'that' way. "Hold on a minute. These are my good shoes."
"Just buy another pair." Sakura said impatiently.
"Sorry. I'm not made of money." he retorted, rolling his eyes. "Turn around."
"What?"
"I'm gonna take my undershirt off."
"What the - why?" her eyes widened.
"To wipe the crap off my shoes, that's why!"
"Goddammit, just scrape it off the cement!"
"That's not effective! Now turn around." Naruto turned his back on her, about ready to pull his shirt off.
Sakura sighed in defeat. "Just take it off. I see millions of guys shirtless all the time."
chirp chirp.
Naruto immediately gaped at her.
"On T.V., you idiot!" she blushed furiously.
For a moment, they stood there awkwardly. "Will you just turn around?" Sakura could have sworn she detect begging in his voice. "Please?" he looked entirely distressed.
Sakura felt a powerful dose of genuine concern for her 'boyfriend', however she obeyed his request and turned around.
"Whatever you do, don't look!"
"Fine!"
She rolled her eyes at his silliness. She just couldn't understand why he was so eager to hide his body. From what she could tell, he seemed to be perfectly (though a little on the thin side) built. Hearing the fabric being pulled away from his body and out of the utmost curiosity, she slowly turned her head to catch a glimpse of what all the fuss was about. When she caught sight of his body, she gasped in horror.
"Naruto, oh my god!"
The blue eyed boy literally jumped at her response.
"I thought I told you not to look!" he glared viciously at her, swiftly pulling his undershirt back on and buttoning his uniform.
The crappy shoe was completely forgotten.
"Why do you...how did...who did that to you?" Sakura felt she was on the verge of tears, yet successfully held it back.
Even with one, small glimpse, it was hard to miss the deep, purple bruises literally covered all over Naruto's body. It was utterly repulsive to look at. Sakura took a wild guess and concluded that the bruises never really had the chance to heal.
"It's no big deal-"
"Of course it is! Have you looked in the mirror lately?"
"Can we just drop it!" he tried to grab her hand.
"NO!" Sakura swapped his hand away. Naruto stepped back and sighed. "Who did this to you?"
Realization hit him, nearly knocking him down. Naruto remained in a silent shock. "So, you do care about me." he stated more than questioned.
Sakura would have been completely nauseated by that statement, but now was not the time. "Was it...your parents?" Child abuse did not sit well with her.
"Sakura..." Naruto looked outright uncomfortable. "I'm an orphan."
The pink haired girl froze.
Her heart suddenly dropped.
"Wow. We actually have something in common." she sadly replied, staring blankly at the ground.
Naruto's somber eyes wandered away. And he thought miss perfect had everything...
Well, neither of them were anxious to talk about it. So Naruto sighed in defeat. "Every Tuesdays and Thursdays." he casually shrugged, trying is best to ignore the painful look on Sakura's face.
Tuesdays and Thursdays?
Ohhhhh.
She immediately wished she was the one being abused. She felt completely guilt-ridden. "Shit." Sakura knew those days very well. She and the jocks were the ones who initiated it. "I forgot about those."
"Good. Don't even think about it."
"It's my fault."
"We're friends now, right? It doesn't matter." he reassured her.
"I'm so sorry."
"I said it doesn't matter." his smile shone brightly at Sakura, a feature that amazed her to no end. "Can we please go to school now?" Naruto begged, holding out a hand for her.
Without delay, Sakura accepted his hand, this time adding a little more pressure. "I never thought I'd hear those words come out of your mouth." she teased, sensing it was time to change the mood.
"It's a good day." he continued to smile at her. "Monday."
Sakura faked a smile and turned to look ahead.
'You won't ever have to worry about Tuesdays and Thursdays anymore, Naruto' she promised, squeezing his hand tighter in her grip.
"Sakura! Naruto! Over here!" Ino shouted, waving a welcoming hand.
Sakura smiled in her direction and pulled Naruto along.
Trying to ignore the stares and mainly glares from everyone around him, Naruto coughed nervously walking slightly closer behind Sakura. It was odd; he was usually used to this kind of thing. Why was he scared all of a sudden? His eyes focused on Sakura's pink wavy tresses bouncing angelically in the sunlight.
Yup. Somehow, he figured his new found cowardice had something to do with her. If anything happened to him, especially around her, he wasn't exactly sure how he would handle the situation. Getting embarrassed in front of Sakura was the absolute last thing he wanted...
But it's not like he LIKES her or anything!
And now he's hungry. Great.
Before he knew it, he found himself seated at a table with four of the most beautiful girls in school.
He hungrily eyed Tenten's plate of breakfast...
"So, Naruto, I've been meaning to ask you something." Ino sipped her coke, eying the blue eyed boy impishly. "How exactly did you fall back in love with Sakura?"
Sakura glared daggers at her soon-to-be-dead-friend.
"Well?" Tenten leaned closer in curiosity, along with Hinata.
Naruto gawked stupidly. "Uh." he turned to Sakura for help.
She shrugged, leaving him hanging.
Inwardly gasping at her unwillingness to help, Naruto turned to Ino with a devilish grin. "Actually, it was Sakura who fell in love with me." he seized Tenten's bottle of orange juice and sipped it.
Snapping her head in Naruto's direction, Sakura gaped.
"She stalked me for days, climbing up five stories of my apartment to get a peek at my body behind the window. She used to watch me for HOURS. Of course, I was tempted to call the police, but I eventually gave in and dated her instead." he shrugged, taking several bites of Tenten's oatmeal. "She seemed really desperate."
Sakura mentally reminded herself to kick Naruto's ass later.
Hinata, Tenten, and Ino stared at Sakura as if she was a completely different person.
"Is that true?" Hinata eyed her friend suspiciously.
As Naruto threw pieces of Tenten's grapes in his mouth, he smirked at his 'stalker-girlfriend' and gave her a frisky wink.
Sakura's gape grew wider.
Why, that little-
"Hey, that's my breakfast!" Tenten caught Naruto munching on her 100 calorie oreos and playfully pushed his arm.
"You want some?" he smiled mischievously.
Everyone around the table laughed.
"OH MY GAWSH!" Kiba's eyes exploded out of his sockets, pointing frantically at Naruto. "What the fuck is Uzumaki doing over there!"
The group of six boys noticed all eyes, and that meant ALL eyes, were focused entirely on the table seating four goddesses and an outcast.
Jaws dropped.
"Has the world finally gone to hell?" even Shikamaru's eyes widened in trauma.
"First Sakura-san, NOW ALL OF THEM!" Lee almost cried at the revelation.
"How did he do it? How the hell did he do it!" Chouji stopped eating (for once in his life).
Shino and Neji were at a loss of words...which actually wasn't unusual for either of them. But they were still very much flabbergasted.
They suddenly witnessed the four beauties laughing at something Naruto said.
"I don't know whether to hate him," said Kiba, remarkably rational at the moment. "or to worship him."
"..." Shikamaru didn't say a word; he was still in a traumatized state.
Chouji dropped his bag of chips and continued staring at the blond-boy-wonder. "I think...I respect him now."
Nobody said anything, but they were all thinking the same thing: 'Me too.'
Sakura stood at the center of the stage in the gym, watching all the jocks gather anxiously around her. She held a wireless microphone in her hand and patiently waited until she felt everyone was there.
"Testing. Testing. One, two, three? Okay, do we have all the basketball players yet?" she spoke into the mike.
Everyone sort of goggled rather than answered her, which irritated Sakura immensely.
"What about the football players? All right, I know the soccer players are here. We have the baseball players. I think we have everyone." she shrugged unknowingly.
Hundreds of jocks circulated the room, pushing and shoving each other to get closer to the pink haired beauty herself.
"So, as you guys know, the last time we all met up like this was in our freshmen year." she stated in the microphone. "And that was to initiate 'Beat up Naruto Uzumaki on Tuesdays and Thursdays'."
The gym echoed loudly with cheers and menacing laughter.
"Well," suddenly, Sakura's infamous demonic aura surrounded the gym. It was very cold. "as of today, it has officially been UN-initiated."
The cheers and loud shouts of laughter instantly died down.
"And if any of you lay a finger on Naruto again," she glared at everyone, causing them to back away. "I will make your life worse than hell and make you wish you were dead and actually IN hell." her eyes were fixated malevolently.
Fear engulfed them; nobody dare said a word.
Sakura immediately caught a boy who seemed to be in doubt. He choked when she eyed him venomously. "It's true jocks have power over the student body. But just remember one thing."
She slowly walked closer as the jocks slowly backed farther.
"I have power over everybody. And I will destroy you if you don't obey me."
A cold wind blew by.
But it wasn't the cold air that made them shiver...
"Okay, I'm done!" she smiled in an evil-sweetness sort of way and waved at everyone. "You can all go now. Have a nice day."
The crowd of jocks shoved each other to clear Sakura's path as she skipped on her merry way.
Naruto sat against a big, shady tree outside on the school grounds, apparently waiting for someone.
And it's no surprise who he was waiting for.
"Hey!"
Naruto immediately tensed in her presence. "Hey. What took you so long?" he glanced at his watch and back at her. "...And why were you skipping?" he raised an eyebrow.
Sakura looked absolutely radiant.
It kind of scared him.
"Nothing." she shrugged, seating herself next to him on the grass. Naruto found it very odd that she was giggling to herself.
"And where the hell have you been? You just left me without warning!" he pouted, crossing his arms and giving her a glare.
At once, Sakura threw him a smug look. "Awww. Looks like somebody couldn't wait to be with me." she teasingly fluttered her eyelashes.
Naruto was dumbfounded. "No! I just...THAT'S NOT-!" his face burned fervently.
"Who's the desperate one now?" Sakura smirked evilly, something she's well known for.
Naruto immediately wrapped his arms around her in an attempt to trap her in a very dangerous and deadly tickle fight.
"NOOO! STOP!" Sakura laughed hysterically as the two fell, rolling on the grass.
"That's so cute..."
"I think it's gross."
"It looks like they're having fun."
Hinata, Ino, and Tenten watched the two 'lovers' tickling each other, rolling on the grass laughing.
Tenten leaned on her palm and sighed. "I wish I had a boyfriend like Naruto."
...
Well, that certainly caught Ino and Hinata's attention.
Tenten froze. 'Did I just say that out loud?' she immediately started laughing in a fit of hysteria and quickly tried to think of a way to save her ass. "I mean, I wish I had a girlfriend like Naruto!"
Nope. Still came out wrong.
"I mean...!" Well, that does it. "Oh damn!" her flushing face fell into her hands, far too embarrassed to look up.
"Tenten." said an astounded Hinata. "Do you...like N-Naruto-kun?"
The brown eyed girl was completely furious. "Of course not! I'm a lesbian; I'm in love with Jessica Alba." she sort of lied.
"Well, good!" Ino glared at her brunette friend.
"Right. Because Naruto's going out with Sakura." Tenten sighed unhappily (for some reason).
Ino's face fell. "Oh. Yeah. Because he's going out with Sakura."
Now it was Tenten's turn to glare at Ino. "Wait a minute. Do YOU like Naruto?"
The look on Ino's face couldn't possibly be put into words. "Are you fuckin' kidding me? I think I have higher standards than that!" she defended herself.
Hinata threw Ino an offended look. "Any girl in the world would be lucky to date N-Naruto-kun. He's handsome, funny, caring, kind-"
The purple haired girl came to a halt, realizing she was praising Naruto way too much for her comfort. Her face might as well have been painted bright red.
Tenten and Ino stared at Hinata for a very long time.
And then silently turned their heads to find random objects to blankly gawk at.
This isn't good.
"Iruka-sensei's class, right?" Naruto stopped walking, still hand in hand with the emerald eyed beauty.
"Unfortunately." Sakura sighed.
"I was in his first period class. Don't worry, there's no test." said Naruto, not exactly sure why he felt disappointed.
"Are you sure?" Sakura was a little disappointed too...of course she also had no idea why.
"Yeah. Pretty positive."
"I don't know. You have the tendency to fall asleep in class. Maybe you skipped a test without knowing it." Sakura shrugged.
Naruto shook his head. "Iruka-sensei would've thrown chalk at my head."
"Oh." Sakura mentally pouted, secretly disgruntled.
For a while, they stood there quietly, not sure what to do next.
"I guess I'll go then..." said Naruto as he hesitantly let go of Sakura's hand.
"No, wait."
He immediately looked at her with a glint in his crystal blue eye. "Yeah?"
"Er, maybe...I don't know..."
"Wait. Do you want to kiss me?" Naruto's heart paced.
"No!" Sakura instantly regret saying that when it looked like she had just slapped Naruto in the face." I just think we should...uh, you know?" Sakura tried her best not to blush. "I mean, just in case."
"Y-Yeah, of course." Naruto's voice cracked, knowing very well Iruka will definitely not be handing out a test today. However, for unknown reasons, he went along with her.
The 'couple' slowly inched closer within one another. Sakura wrapped her arms around his neck, and Naruto wrapped his arms around her waist. After seconds of awkward waiting, Sakura lips finally melted into Naruto's. She sucked lightly on the bottom of his lip, waiting patiently to get inside. Naruto gave in and parted his lips, allowing her sweet tongue to roam freely. He imitated her actions and pulled her into a much tighter embrace.
So this is french kissing?
He liked it.
A lot.
Sakura and Naruto were forcibly pulled apart when the tardy bell rang. They hadn't even realized they were making out for that long...was it even necessary?
A simple peck on the lips would have sufficed for one test...
even though there really is NO test.
Sakura couldn't find it in herself to speak. She quietly turned around and opened the door to Iruka's class. Naruto seemed to be in the same state, because he merely watched in silence as Sakura walked away from him.
"Dude. That was awesome."
Frowning on the spot, Naruto slowly turned around to see six guys standing behind him with bewildered expressions.
The one he knew as Kiba Inuzuka looked ecstatic. "Seriously, that was the awesomest make out scene I've ever seen in my life! Did you guys see how stunned Sakura was? I swear, it looked like she was about to faint!" the dog-boy nudged his friends in a wild frenzy.
"Truly, Naruto-kun, you are the luckiest guy I know!" Rock Lee exclaimed with just as much excitement despite the heavy despair of losing Sakura forever.
"Thanks." Naruto scratched his head, not entirely sure how to respond to a group of guys who are actually speaking 'civil' to him.
Neji Hyuuga, the boy commonly known as 'Hinata's cousin', looked at him suspiciously. "How exactly did you get a girl like Sakura to date you?"
"Teach me your secrets!" Chouji Akimichi anxiously consumed large amounts of potato chips.
Naruto backed away as the six boys moved in closer. "I don't know." lies.
"Are you threatening her?" Shino eyed him.
More like the other way around!
"No-"
"Well, how!" A frustrated Kiba threw his arms in the air.
At this point, Naruto steadily prepared himself to get a beating. It was a little unusual for him to get beaten on a Monday, but it wasn't uncommon. Although, these guys weren't even jocks. What's up with that? He waited for the first punch; after a couple minutes of waiting and awkward silences, he raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Can we hurry and get this over with?" he told them impatiently. "I planned a prank for Tsunade baachan and I don't wanna be late."
The six boys looked at each other shrugging.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Shikamaru Nara looked at the blond haired boy, confounded.
"And what kind of prank are you pulling off today?" Kiba questioned. He never did like Naruto, but he always respected his intelligent pranking abilities. It inspired Kiba to become a prankster himself...although he would never admit it to anyone as long as he lived!
Until now. Kiba officially declared Naruto a 'badass' for bagging the hottest girl in school.
Naruto was absolutely stupefied. "Aren't you guys gonna beat me up...or something?"
Neji scoffed. "Why would we do something like that?"
"Besides, only jocks are allowed to beat the crap outta you for some reason." added Kiba unnecessarily.
"Yeah, Naruto, you're pretty cool now." said Chouji very knowingly.
The blue eyed boy stood there quietly in astonishment. 'So...I'm cool now? WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED WITH MY LIFE!'
"So tell us your secret, Uzumaki." Shikamaru pressured him further.
Neji turned to the spiky haired boy with a taunting look in his eye. "Shikamaru, since when were you ever interested in getting a girl?" he found the blush on his friend's face quite amusing.
Shikamaru tensed. "I might not look it, but I'm a hormonal, teenage boy just like everyone else."
"Heh." the white eyed boy smirked.
"And it's not like YOU don't want to know either, Neji." Shikamaru fired back.
Neji scoffed, quickly looking the other way in embarrassment.
"Naruto-kun, please tell us your secret!" Lee desperately pleaded. "How did you get Sakura-san to like you?"
For a moment, Naruto felt a slight queasiness in the gut of his stomach. He really hated lying. "She thinks kissing me will improve her grades, so she's basically keeping me as a lucky charm."
An uncomfortable silence transpired.
"Do we look like idiots?" Kiba snorted.
Naruto kinda thought he did.
"Come on, man! Give us some real answers!" the dog-lover exclaimed impatiently.
Naruto mentally sighed.
Well, he tried telling the truth.
"It's probably because I have access to free coupons at Ichiraku's." the blue eyed boy shrugged.
"Can I have one?" asked Chouji.
"In your dreams!"
Sakura sat silently in her usual seat, staring stupidly at the first object her eyes laid on...a fly the size of a chocolate Hershey kisses, nesting on Iruka's head. However, the fact that the hugest fly ever was sitting on her teacher's head (which everyone noticed, but didn't bother to tell Iruka) was of no concern to Sakura at all.
Her mind was only on one thing.
And we all know about that one thing.
Sakura let out a heavy, dreamy sigh, unable to focus on anything but that kiss.
She was completely oblivious to anything or anyone around her...
oddly enough, that included the famous Sasuke Uchiha...
which he found particularly irritating. He especially hated that dumbstruck look on her face. What amazing thing happened that rendered her...looking like that!
That day at the gym, when Sakura announced Uzumaki as her boyfriend...
a revelation hit him.
"Sakura." the raven haired boy whispered from behind. This was the first time he actually made an attempt to talk to a girl HE broke up with.
Silence.
Obviously, she was still very much in a dumbstruck state.
Narrowing his eyes, Sasuke brutally tapped her shoulder.
"Ow! Heeey-" she turned around and found a certain onyx eyed boy staring fixedly at her.
"We need to talk-"
"Sasuke. Sakura. Do you need to take this outside?" Iruka interrupted, glaring at them...not before realizing there was a huge fly and his head and shooing it away.
"Yeah. Actually I would like to speak to Sakura alone." Sasuke bluntly replied. "Now."
Sakura made an expression indicating she had no intention of going anywhere.
Iruka's face went blank. Usually a student would look down embarrassed and say 'no, sir'. What do you in this situation? "Can't this wait until after class?"
"No." Sasuke stared him down with a cold, hard look.
For a moment, silence filled the room.
"Well, okay then." Iruka shrugged without a clue.
Sasuke Uchiha sure had a way with people.
Sakura got up from her seat and followed her 'ex-boyfriend' out of class.
As soon as they were out, Sasuke hastily shut the door behind him.
"I want you back." he immediately proclaimed.
And with zero emotion, too.
"Did you say you want my back?" Sakura tried to clear her mind. She wasn't in her right mind to think straight ever since that certain...kiss...it was like fireworks. A whole bunch of fireworks! The loud, expensive ones that make your ears pop-
"Sakura." Sasuke grabbed both her shoulders, staring intensely into her emerald eyes. "I want you to be my girlfriend again."
Oh.
This definitely got her thinking straight again.
"You...what?" she felt her knees wobble.
Sasuke sighed. "You already proved your point."
"What point? I'm really confused."
"You're pretending to date Uzumaki to make me jealous. And it worked." he backed away, leaning against the door and shoving his hands into his pockets.
When he turned his head, he saw all the students (including Iruka) through the window, pressing their ears against the door. Sasuke rolled his eyes, and once again had them intensely set on Sakura only.
"You're right." Sakura leaned against the opposite wall, unable to believe Sasuke actually wanted her back. She fixed her gaze on him with the same intensity. "I am pretending to date Naruto."
Sasuke smirked victoriously.
Naruto Uzumaki is an idiot to believe he actually had a chance with Sakura Haruno.
"Then I guess this means we're back on." he slyly wrapped an arm around her shoulder
Three teenage girls stood in a tight circle, cramped in a very small room.
It was cold,
dark,
and a little stinky.
"You couldn't find any other place to meet, could ya?" Ino muttered angrily.
Tenten scoffed. "Why don't you try finding a place where no one will ever bother to look. Oh, right. There ISN'T any." she narrowed her eyes. "So shut up and appreciate what you got, blondie."
Ino fumed.
"Will you two please stop it. Why are we here, Tenten?" Hinata shivered, wishing she had brought a jacket. "In the janitor's closet?"
"Yeah. What's so important that we just NEED to meet like this? I swear, if this isn't worth sneaking out of class for, then-"
Tenten sighed distressingly. "It's about the Naruto situation."
Hinata's body instantly made an awkward twitch.
Ino opened her mouth. And closed it.
"I think that's worth skipping class, right?" the brunette whispered.
'Blondie' nervously cleared her throat. "What about Naruto?"
"Don't play dumb, Ino."
The janitor's closet fell into a deadly silence. Nobody bothered to make an attempt to say anything. Tenten herself couldn't conjure the words to speak.
"Okay. I like him." Ino was surprisingly the first to acknowledge.
"So do I." Tenten grudgingly admit.
Hinata's blush was vehemently red, but both Tenten and Ino knew their purple haired friend felt the same way. "It's just an attraction. We're teenagers; it comes and goes at an instant." Hinata tired reassuring them, and most importantly, herself.
"It probably is. This is the same situation...as the Sasuke situation. We liked him, and we got over him because he chose Sakura." reminded Tenten.
"It's exactly the same!" Ino faked a smile.
"Or is it?" Hinata rested a hand on her beating chest.
"I don't even know anymore." Ino sadly admit.
"We hardly know him." Tenten reasoned. "We're only attracted to Naruto. Ino's right. It's exactly the same situation."
Hinata suddenly perked up when a thought came to her. "Wait a minute. Tenten..." she looked at her friend with doubt in her white eyes.
"What?"
"You were a lesbian when we were chasing after Sasuke."
"Yeah. So?"
"You were only pretending to like Sasuke so people wouldn't know you're a lesbian."
"Hinata, what are you getting at? And by the way, Ino, I know you told everyone." the brunette glared at her blabbermouth friend, who only shrugged.
Hinata stared fiercely into Tenten's eyes. "It's not the same. You REALLY like N-Naruto-kun. Therefore, this is a completely different situation. At least for you."
"Whoa! Hold on, Hinata." Ino interrupted the revelation, as Tenten looked absolutely flabbergasted.
"What is it?" asked the white eyed girl.
Ino gave her a suspicious frown. "You didn't really like Sasuke either. I have no idea why, but you only chased after him because all of us were."
Hinata's face went from brilliant red to pale white. "T-That's not true." she sputtered.
"It was kind of obvious. You were sort of our little follower before you actually became one of us." Tenten look at her friend sheepishly. She then gasped at Hinata's own revelation. "So this is a completely different situation for you too!" she accused her.
The Hyuuga heiress went back to flushing a million shades of red.
"And Ino!" Tenten crossed her arms.
"Me?"
"Duh! You basically only liked Sasuke for his good looks and cool attitude. And let's face it, you liked the competition. So why do you like Naruto?" Tenten interrogated her.
That was certainly something to think about.
Except, it seemed like Ino already knew her answer. "Well, because he's funny. He likes my socks. He's so easy to talk to. He's cute. He's crazy. He walks into a room and everything is, just, bright. And warm. He's..."
Uh oh.
The blue eyed girl looked down with guilt as soon as she realized her downfall.
"How long is that list?" Tenten asked, knowing very well there is no end.
"I've never felt this way about a boy. Ever." Ino was shocked by her own revelation.
"I know how you feel." Hinata placed a comforting hand on her best friend's shoulder.
Ino felt her legs weaken, and she slowly fell to the ground, surprisingly not caring about the puke stains. "What are we going to do?"
Hinata and Ino desperately looked to Tenten...
Her chocolate brown eyes blazed with determination.
"I'll tell you exactly what we're going to do."
To be continued...
A/N: I hope this will be enough to leave you guessing...BECAUSE IT'S HIATUS TIME!
I'm sorry everyone, it needs to be done! :'(
REVIEW and i'll let you know the exact day of the next update :D
