Chapter Two

Day One: Help From Mr. Sharingan

It was Akamaru who woke Kiba up. Barking and licking his earlobes, the tiny mutt did all he could to pry Kiba awake. After many grunts and groans from Kiba, he finally sat up and looked at his dog in confusion.

"Why the urgency, Akamaru?" he asked, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. Akamaru barked and jumped off the bed. He returned with a picture of Team 8 in his mouth. The dog barked again and placed his paw on the spot where Hinata was in the photo.

"Hinata…" Kiba trailed off, then finally understood what his dog was trying to tell him. There was no time to loose. He needed to stop Hinata from proclaiming her feelings no matter what.

Rushing to brush his teeth, and throw some clothes on, he murmured a goodbye to his parents before he and Akamaru took off for the door.

"We're going back to the Hyuuga Mansion, buddy." Kiba told Akamaru, who responded with agreeable barks. He hoped Hinata wasn't there, what would she think if she knew he was plotting against her and Naruto? That baka Naruto…

Neji was sitting on the porch, obviously waiting for him. Kiba rushed in panting and trying to catch his breath. He received an amused look from Neji who got up and walked over to him.

"You're late," he grunted.

"I didn't know we had an established time," Kiba replied with a laugh. "So, do you have any idea how…"

"Yes, I do." Neji replied, while digging something out of his pocket. He withdrew a piece of paper and a pencil.

"We write a note to Hinata, and put Naruto's name on it," Neji started, but Kiba cut him off.

"What? A love not? That'll make things worse!"

"I never said it was a love not," Neji said with a sigh. "More like a…hate note."

"I GET IT!" Kiba exclaimed a little too loudly, causing Neji to roll his eyes. "We write a note and say it's from Naruto to Hinata, and we put in the note how he hates her and stuff, she'll know he doesn't like her and won't tell that baka her feelings!"

"Correct, but we're not making the note have hateful things in it. I don't want my cousin to start crying or anything. We'll just put that he's dating Sakura or something."

Kiba nodded. "There's one more thing. How will we be able to copy Naruto's handwriting?"

It was here Neji smirked. "I don't think my Byakugan can do it, but there is one person who can."

A moment of silence.

"UCHIHA!"

-----At Sasuke's Place-----

"No," the ebony haired teen stated flat out.

"Come on, Sasuke," Kiba pleaded and was helped with a few of Akamaru's whiny barks. "You're the only one who can help us."

"If Naruto dated Hinata, he'd be out of my hair for a good while. Just think, going full days without seeing Naruto, like I am right now. It's heaven."

"Uchiha, we'll make it worthwhile for you," Neji bribed. Sasuke raised his eyebrows.

"How so?"

"We'll give you this," Neji said while holding out six coupons, each for a free meal at Ichiraku's.

"I hate ramen."

"If this succeeds Uchiha, Naruto will be lonely. These aren't for you, these are for you to give him so he can eat ramen and be out of your hair."

Sasuke took no time thinking. "I'll do it," he replied, snatching the coupons out of Neji's hands and pocketing them.

"I need a sample of his handwriting," Sasuke stated. "Do any of you have one?"

Kiba and Neji exchanged blank stares. Sasuke sighed.

"I'll have to use one of my own," he grunted, pulling a piece of paper out of his pocket. "He gave it to me before he left.

Neji stared at the paper Naruto had written on, it read:

Sasuke-teme,

Please make sure to watch over Sakura-chan while I'm gone. Try not to miss me so much and get into trouble, I won't be here to save you like I always have to, teme! Oh, and don't even try to sneak into my house and steal Gama-chan like you did last time, I have him with me, so your attempts will be in vain.

-Naruto, the next Hokage, dattebayo!

Neji suppressed laughter while Sasuke growled to himself.

"What do you want this to say?"

Kiba cleared his throat while Sasuke activated his Sharingan.

Dear Hinata,

I just wanted to tell you that I'm dating Sakura-chan now. She and I are so happy together, and I just thought I should tell you. And, uh, I hope you fid someone that you like one day!

-Naruto

"This sounds so corny," Sasuke muttered while Kiba snatched up the paper and stared at it greedily.

"This is perfect! Come on, Neji!" Kiba exclaimed in excitement. Neji sighed as the now hyper-active Kiba and him went to find the Hyuuga heiress.

-----In The Fields on Konoha-----

They found her and Shino picking flowers in the meadow. Shino was helping her build a necklace of flowers, probably for Naruto. Kiba gritted his teeth. He'd need to have a talk with Shino about all this supporting he was doing.

Neji pushed him forward and whispered, "You give her the note,"

"Chicken," Kiba grunted and made his way over to Hinata.

"Kiba-kun!" Hinata called over to him. Shino pushed up his glasses in his cool-like way. "What brings you here?"

Kiba faked a sad face. "Sorry, Hinata, but I found this note, Naruto wanted me to give it to you."

Hinata gasped and open the note. Her face frowned as she read it, but when she came to the end, she giggled.

"Naruto-kun did not write this."

Kiba turned red. How did she know? Maybe he should play dumb.

"Really, how do you know?"

"Naruto-kun always ends in letters in, "Naruto, the Next Hokage, dattebayo!" On this note he just wrote, 'Naruto'. Someone tricked you, Kiba."

"Oh," Kiba said, trying to laugh. "Yeah, I guess someone did."

Hinata gave him a friendly wave as he left the meadow and walked over to Neji.

"How did it go?' Neji whispered.

"She knew he didn't write it." Kiba sighed. Neji quickly turned around and left Kiba standing there.

"Where are you going?" Kiba called out.

Neji spun around. "To get my ramen coupons back from Uchiha."


A/N: Well, that went well. Kiba and Neji have miserably failed, but what will happen on Day Two? Review and I'll get the next chapter up!
